AstraZeneca's Partner, MAP Pharmaceuticals, Announces Phase 3 Study of Unit Dose Budesonide in Children with Asthma Did Not Meet Primary Endpoints
Date:2/23/2009

LONDON, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MAP Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that its initial Phase 3 clinical trial of Unit Dose Budesonide (UDB) for the potential treatment of children with asthma did not meet its co-primary endpoints: asthma control as assessed by changes from baseline in nighttime and daytime composite symptom scores, in either of the doses evaluated when compared with placebo.

AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) will work with MAP Pharmaceuticals to conduct further analyses of these data to determine appropriate next steps for the program.

AstraZeneca and MAP Pharmaceuticals have a collaboration agreement to develop and commercialize UDB.
