- FDA acceptance and study may proceed letter for Phase 2 study on acute migraine treatment
- Potential for rapid pain relief and improved DHE tolerability
- None.
Pulmatrix received a study may proceed letter for a Phase 2 Study to Evaluate PUR3100, an orally inhaled dry powder formulation of dihydroergotamine ("DHE") in the treatment of acute migraine
Dr. Margaret Wasilewski, Chief Medical Officer of Pulmatrix noted, "We are pleased with the PUR3100 IND acceptance and receipt of the study may proceed letter for the Phase 2, proof of concept study. We are looking forward to building on the positive safety and pharmacokinetic data established in our phase 1 study."
Ted Raad, Chief Executive Officer of Pulmatrix, commented, "We believe that PUR3100 has the potential to be differentiated from other approved acute migraine therapies currently available on the market, given the convenience of self-administration and the potential for rapid pain relief and improved DHE tolerability. The completed Phase 1 study demonstrated optimal pharmacokinetics and improved tolerability of PUR3100 compared to IV DHE. We are currently pursuing options to advance PUR3100 into a Phase 2 clinical trial to investigate PUR3100 efficacy, safety, tolerability in treating acute migraine subjects."
