f repeated, self-titrated inhalation of AeroLEF(TM) for the treatment of acute post-operative pain following orthopedic surgery. The first phase of the study (Part 1) was a 21 patient open-label, lead-in phase to ensure consistency of AeroLEF(TM) administration across study sites. Results of Part I of the Phase IIb study were presented at the 2006 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL. The second phase (Part 2) was a 99 patient, randomized, placebo-controlled portion of the trial.

About AeroLEF(TM)

AeroLEF(TM) is a unique, inhaled-delivery composition of free and liposome-encapsulated fentanyl in development for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, including cancer pain. In contrast to fixed-dose approaches to opioid delivery, where a significant titration period is often required to determine the suitable dose for the patient, AeroLEF(TM) is being developed as a non-invasive delivery system designed to enable patients to self-titrate. Using AeroLEF(TM), patients can identify and select a personalized dose for each pain episode, achieving both rapid onset and extended duration of analgesia.
