About MAP0004
MAP0004 is a proprietary orally inhaled version of dihydroergotamine, or DHE, intended to treat migraine. In the Company's Phase 2 efficacy study, MAP0004 provided pain relief as early as within ten minutes of dosing, and this relief was sustained through at least 24 hours. The study also demonstrated efficacy trends in treating nausea, photophobia and phonophobia. Based on these results, as well as independent research that concludes that patients prefer migraine therapies providing fast onset, pain relief, sustained pain relief and safety, the Company believes that MAP0004 has the potential to be a first-line therapy for migraine patients. Historically, estimated onset of significant pain relief with oral triptans, the class of drugs most often prescribed for treating migraine, occurs between 45 and 90 minutes after dosing. In 2007, triptans generated sales of approximately $2.2 billion in the United States, according to data published by IMS Health.
MAP0004 is designed to be an easy to use, non-invasive, at-home therapy
that patients self-administer using the Company's proprietary hand-held
