YM BioSciences Reports AeroLEF Randomized Phase IIb Trial Meets,Primary Endpoint in Patients with Post-Surgical Pain

an, Chairman and CEO of YM BioSciences. "We look forward to completing a detailed analysis of the numerous secondary endpoints and safety data from this study to extend the information we will make available. These results will also be used to enhance the design of the additional Phase II trial that we are planning for the U.S. as well as the eventual Phase III trial."

Clinical Trial Design

The Phase IIb clinical study (DLXLEF-AP4) was a 2-part, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of repeated, self-titrated inhalation of AeroLEF(TM) for the treatment of acute post-operative pain following orthopedic surgery. Part 1 of the study was a 21 patient open-label, lead-in study 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.

Part 2 was a 99 patient randomized, placebo-controlled study. The treatment phase of the study began in the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) after completion of surgery when the patient reported a pain intensity score (PI) of at least 2 (moderate pain) on a 4-point verbal rating scale (0 (none) to 3 (severe pain)). The clinical trial study period was up to 12 hours and patients were allowed to self-administer AeroLEF(TM) to treat up to two additional pain episodes during the study period.
