CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 5, 2007 - Javelin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMEX: JAV), a leading developer of novel products for pain control, today announced that its Phase 2 multi-dose study of Rylomine was published in Pain Medicine, the official journal of The American Academy of Pain Medicine. The article, entitled, "Analgesic Efficacy and Safety of Morphine-Chitosan Nasal Solution in Patients with Moderate to Severe Pain Following Orthopedic Surgery", was recently made available online and can found at the following link: http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/toc/pme/0/0?.
"Rylomine is one of three late stage drug development candidates in our pipeline that address large underserved markets for pain management. It employs a patented formulation of intranasal morphine in a simple disposable device that requires no programming or special patient education," said, Dr. Daniel B. Carr, CEO and CMO. "While still in development, Rylomine has potential to become the non-invasive approach of choice for administering intermittent doses of morphine for post-surgical pain in medically supervised settings. Morphine is the reference standard for treatment of post-surgical pain, as well as pain from trauma and diseases including cancer."
Top line data from the first of two pivotal post-surgical Phase 3 clinical trials of Javelin's Rylomine is anticipated this summer.
Orthopedic Surgeries
According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, orthopedic operations make up approximately 10% (7.4 million) of the 73.4 million ambulatory and in-patient surgical procedures in the United States annually.
About Rylomine
Rylomine (intranasal morphine), is currently in Phase 3 development in the United States, for moderate-to-severe pain in supervised healthcare settings. It employs the patented and proprietary, Chysis(R) drug-delivery platform to adhere and regularize the kinet ics of morphine to and across the nasal mucosa. Each nostril can hold only 150-200 ul of administered drug candidate and requires approximately 15 minutes for the Rylomine to clear the nasal passages. This provides potential for substantial patient safety.
