Nastech's pipeline, technology and opportunities remain strong with multiple products currently in Phase 2 clinical testing. Earlier this quarter, the company announced initiation of two phase 2 programs, one with PYY for obesity and the other with insulin to treat type 2 diabetes.
In February 2006, Nastech and P&G entered into a development and commercialization collaboration for teriparatide nasal spray as an investigational product. During the collaboration, P&G completed two clinical studies using teriparatide nasal spray: one evaluating the pharmacokinetic profile in healthy normal subjects, and the other demonstrating the response of bone turnover markers. These studies, in addition to the non-clinical work completed, demonstrate that Nastech's patented nasal spray formulation delivers teriparatide to the patient's blood, causes a response in bone turnover markers and was well-tolerated. Nastech believes that these data support the continued development of the product.
Nastech expects to recognize approximately $5.5 million in revenue in the fourth quarter due to termination of the agreement.
