AZ-001 (Staccato prochlorperazine). We are developing AZ-001 to treat patients suffering from acute migraine headaches. According to the National Headache Foundation, approximately 13 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with migraine headaches. In October 2005, we completed a 75 patient, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIa clinical trial in patients suffering from moderate to severe acute migraine headaches. Two doses of AZ-001 (5 mg and 10 mg) were studied in the clinical trial, and both doses exhibited positive trends when compared to placebo. AZ-001 was generally well tolerated, and there were no serious adverse events in the trial. We plan to initiate a Phase IIb clinical trial of AZ-001 in the first half of 2006
