Transdermal Spray-On Patch Therapy For CNS Conditions Alternative Options to Improve Outcomes for patients with swallowing difficulties or

poor insight into their condition…

s Overall Summary • A new technology means that low dose therapies can now

be delivered as a ‘spray-patch’ which cannot be felt after 30 seconds.

In CNS Medicine, this has great utility for many types of patients, but mainly those with swallowing difficulties, poor cognition, poor memory, aggression,

hostility, high impulsivity.

• There are many products that can be given through this techology. The main limitation is maximum dose per spray-on patch being 5mg. More than one patch can be sprayed on per dose.

• The pathway to regulatory approval is straightforward and low-cost in the US and Europe utilizing the 505b2 route in the US and the equivalent phase II/III waiver in Europe.

• For low investment, high and fast returns are highly probable.

Market Need Analysis • Chronic Movement Disorders Patients struggle to swallow

(eg. Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s Chorea) • Dementia patients struggle to remember their doses and

lack of insight and hostility means they often do not want to take their medication

• Epilepsy Patients can have lack of insight, hostility and may be fitting, so swallowing may be difficult

• Addiction patients may be hostile • Aggression/Hostility in ADHD can make dosing difficult • Aggression/Hostility in Schizophrenia or Mania can make

dosing difficult • Tourette’ Patients may lack insight into their condition and

may be hostile to dosing • Other opportunities may exist for improved convenience

however these are thought to be the best opportunities to improve outcomes and therefore generate higher prices.

Viable Parkinson’s Disease Products: Ropinerole

Biperiden

Viable Alzheimer’s Disease Products: Memantine Donepezil Rivastigmine Galantamine Viable Anti-Convulsants/Benzos: Diazepam Tiagabine Viable Anti-Addiction/Pain: Bupronorphine + Naloxone Codeine Viable Anti-ADHD Drugs: Methylphenidate Viable Anti-Psychotics: Aripiprazole Olanzapine Risperidone

Product Targets

Formuli

First Targets: Methylphenidate- Feasibility and proof of principal complete

Bupronorphine + Naloxone- Theoretical review and planning complete

Diazepam- Feasibility study complete

Rationale: Reduced Regulatory Hurdles… 505b2 and European late stage waiver decisions are made based on the similarity of the Cmax & AUC data of the two different formulation options. If these are very similar, the waivers on later stage clinical trials are most likely. Existing formulations to be referenced with the transdermal spray-on patch for these molecules with most likelihood of achieving similar Cmax & AUC data are as follows: Diazepam: Suppository Methylphenidate: Traditional Transdermal Patch Bupronorphine + Naloxone: Sublingual melt First stage feasibility data has been generated on transdermal & transbuccal spray-on patch formulations for these molecules and they are viable.

Low Regulatory Hurdle Product Target List

Formuli

First Targets: Ropinerole

Pramipexole

Biperiden

Methylphenidate

Rationale: Reduced Pricing Hurdles… Pricing decisions are made mainly on the basis of levels of unmet need, or ‘real world’ effectiveness. Parkinson’s Disease products are seen as meeting the most unmet need, and methylphenidate is excellent for the hostility seen in childhood ADHD. Other products such as antipsychotics may also meet high unmet need, and full analysis should be made before selecting a priority order of products to develop.

Methylphenidate is the only product to feature on both ‘low’ Regulatory Hurdle and

‘high’ unmet need analysis so may prove the best option to develop first.

Creating a TD CNS Product

Formuli

Executive Summary • To develop a transdermal formulation of a target molecule for treatment of the

target condition. • A quick and straightforward route to approval using the 505b2 phase II/III waiver

route. • This is only achievable in the EU and US. • Phase III trials are required for other markets.

• Overall cost to NDA Submission of USD 3 M per product/technology combination • Overall cost to market (including commercialisation and HE/QoL package) of USD

5-8 M per product/technology combination. • Around USD 3 M to get through NDA submission. • Further HE/QoL costs are recommended in the order of USD 1-3 M depending on

quality of outcome data desired.

• Intellectual Property Protection • Trandermal (and Transbuccal) technologies have global patent protection to 2028. • Data exclusivity protection will apply.

• LCM & Fallback strategies • Many molecules can be dosed in this way

• Exit • Onward sale or outsourced commercialization

Target Product Profile (TPP)

• Transdermal Spray Formulation of Target Compound

– ‘Patch in a Can’ spray adhesive plus drug diameter of 1.5-2cm.

– Bonds to Skin, no sensation of substance felt to patient once dry (30secs), invisible

– No irritation.

– Dose Delivered over 4-5 hours

• Dose delivered without the need to swallow

• Other benefits can follow eg. for Biperiden, further gut interaction with L-DOPA is by-passed thus combination therapy with L-DOPA for Biperiden is now achievable.
