x subjects (94%) in the Treatment Arm reported that they would use the IDDS again compared to 21 out of 34 subjects (62%) in the Placebo-Control Arm (p = 0.001). In addition, investigators reported that 34 out of 36 subjects (94%) in the Treatment Arm found the IDDS treatment acceptable, which was significantly higher than the Placebo-Control Arm (p < 0.01). Following treatment with placebo, 44% of subjects reported moderate to severe pain (VAS score > / = 30) while only 8% of the subjects in the Treatment Arm reported moderate pain. The treatment was safe and well-tolerated with no significant adverse effects reported in any subject. Further, the iontophoresis procedure was successfully completed in all subjects in the Treatment Arm.

"We are very encouraged and pleased that we have been able to confirm the results of our Phase 1 clinical study that was completed in September 2006. In our current Phase 2 trial we have demonstrated in a randomized placebo controlled study that brief treatment with the IDDS is capable of providing significant pain relief to subjects undergoing intravenous catheterization," said Darrick A. Carter, Ph.D., Vice President of Research and Development at Dharma. "Moreover, nearly all subjects were reported to find the IDDS acceptable treatment demonstrating not only its therapeutic effects, but overall acceptability for administrating topical anesthesia. Given these results, we are intensifying and expanding our development efforts to study the potential clinical efficacy of the IDDS in other applications. We plan to rapidly initiate a clinical trial evaluating the IDDS to provide local anesthesia for patients undergoing dermatological procedures and development for Phase 3 pivotal studies is underway."
