AZ-004 (Staccato loxapine). We are developing AZ-004 for the treatment of acute agitation in patients with schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder. In March 2007, we announced positive initial results from a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a clinical trial in 129 patients in an in-patient clinical setting. The 10 mg dose of AZ-004 met the primary endpoint of the clinical trial, which was a statistically significant reduction in the measure of agitation from baseline to the 2-hour post-dose time point, as compared to placebo. The 10 mg dose of AZ-004 also exhibited a rapid onset of effect, with a statistically-significant improvement in the PANSS (Positive and Negative Symptom Scale) Excited Component (PEC) scores at 20 minutes post-dose, as compared to placebo. The effectiveness of the 10 mg dose was sustained throughout the 24-hour study period, as compared to placebo. The 5 mg dose failed to achieve statistical significance. In February 2008 we initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial that is designed to enroll approximately 300 schizophrenic patients with acute agitation at 25 U.S. clinical centers. The trial is an in-clinic, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study and will test AZ-004 at two dose levels, 5 and 10 mg. Patients may receive up to 3 doses of study drug in a 24-hour period, depending on their clinical status. The primary endpoint for the study is the change from baseline in the PEC score, measured at 2 hours after the first dose. Various assessments of a patients agitation state will be conducted at serial time points using standard agitation scales over the first 4-hour post-dose time period, with follow-up assessments at the end of the 24-hour study period. Side effects will be recorded throughout the 24-hour period. A second Phase 3 clinical trial is projected to begin in the third quarter of 2008. The design of the second study will be similar to the first trial, except that the patient population will be patients with bipolar disease. AZ-004 has been licensed to Symphony Allegro, Inc., or Symphony Allegro, and we have the right to repurchase all rights to this product candidate
