Archimedes' NasalFent meets Ph III efficacy endpoint

19 October 2008

UK drugmaker Archimedes Pharma has reported positive headline Phase III trial results for NasalFent, its fentanyl citrate nasal spray, designed to treat breakthrough cancer pain.

The agent met the primary efficacy endpoint - patients showed a highly statistically-significant improvement in Summary of Pain Intensity Difference at 30 minutes compared to placebo (p<0.0001) - meaning a greater reduction in pain.

Subjects taking the nasal spray also reported statistically-significant differences in pain scores with NasalFent compared to placebo within five minutes of dosing.
