On June 16, 2021, Satsuma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Satsuma” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing positive pharmacokinetic, tolerability and safety results from its Phase 1 trial of STS101 at multiple dose strengths. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
In addition, in a corporate presentation provided to investors on June 16, 2021 and made available on the Company’s website, the Company:
| • | confirmed that it will initiate its SUMMIT Phase 3 efficacy trial of STS101 5.2 mg in mid-2021, with top-line data expected in the second half of 2022; |
| • | announced preliminary results from its Phase 1 trial of STS101; |
| • | provided data from the ongoing ASCEND Phase 3 open-label, safety trial of STS101 supporting its belief that it has successfully addressed the under-delivery issue observed in the previous EMERGE Phase 3 efficacy of STS101, with said data demonstrating the improved second-generation STS101 delivery device and improved patient instructions and training resulted in an approximately 30% improvement in the amount of dose delivered, with a large reduction in dose variability; and |
| • | provided updated results of its ASCEND Phase 3 open-label, safety trial of STS101 5.2 mg, noting that over 270 subjects had been enrolled, over 3,700 migraine attacks had been treated, STS101 had demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability and that subjects had reported freedom from pain at two hours post-treatment in 30% of attacks, with low utilization of a second STS101 dose (less than 15% of attacks) or rescue medication (5%). |
