EMBEDA™ EMBEDA™

Extended release morphine sulfate with a sequestered core of naltrexone hydrochloride (antagonist) in a ratio of 25:1

Indicated for moderate to severe pain when a continuous, around-the-clock opioid analgesic is needed for an extended period of time

Six dosage strengths (20 mg to 100 mg morphine sulfatewith 0.8 to 4 mg naltrexone hydrochloride)

Morphine

SequesteredNaltrexone

Clinical Trials – EMBEDA™ Clinical Trials – EMBEDA™

THE FOLLOWING 12 CLINICAL TRIALS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED TO DATE1) Three (3) phase 1/2 pharmacodynamic (PD) studies

a) ALO-201 Naltrexone Dose Ranging

b) ALO-205 Oral Drug Liking Study

c) ALO-106 Euphoria Study

2) Six (6) phase 1, single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) studies in healthy subjects

a) ALO-101 Fasting Bioequivalence (vs KADIAN®)

b) ALO-102 Fasting, Fed and Sprinkled Bioequivalence

c) ALO-103 Ethanol Drug Interaction

d) ALO-104 Crush Bioavailability

e) ALO-903 Fed, Fasted

f) ALO-107 withdrawal in patients on chronic opiate therapy (study withdrawn)

3) Three (3) phase II/III efficacy and safety studies

EMBEDA™ – Preliminary Efficacy & Safety (ALO-202)EMBEDA™ – Preliminary Efficacy & Safety (ALO-202)

STUDY DESIGN:

Double-blind, two way crossover of EMBEDA™ and KADIAN® [extended release morphine sulfate (ERMS)]

ERMS initiated at 20 mg BID and titrated to a maximum of 160 mg BID

113 patients with Chronic Pain Due to Osteoarthritis of the Hip or Knee enrolled into Period 1, 72 randomized into Period 2 and 69 completed

RESULTS:

Plasma morphine from KADIAN® (ERMS) and EMBEDA™ formulations are bioequivalent limited to extent of exposure at steady state (AUC0-12h)

The minimal release of naltrexone and its metabolite, 6-β-naltrexol, from EMBEDA™ after chronic dosing did not increase pain scores

EMBEDA™ appears to be safe and effective in treating chronic pain of osteoarthritis of the knee and hip

Most patients rated both medications as good or excellent (KADIAN® (ERMS), 78.9%; EMBEDA™, 91.5%)

EMBEDA™ – Pivotal Efficacy Study (ALO-301)EMBEDA™ – Pivotal Efficacy Study (ALO-301)

STUDY DESIGN:Patients with Moderate to Severe Chronic Pain Due to Osteoarthritis of the Hip or Knee

EMBEDA™ initiated at 20mg BID and titrated to maximum of 80mg BID

RESULTS:

Statistically significant improvements in efficacy (primary and secondary) were seen compared to placebo
