\n\u201cIn January we were pleased that the FDA accepted for review Impel\u2019s new drug application (NDA) for TRUDHESA\u2122. Given this milestone, this is the perfect time for us to enter this strategic collaboration as Veeva is a proven technology leader and the ideal partner to help us meet our aggressive commercial timelines,\u201d said Adrian Adams, chairman and chief executive officer, Impel NeuroPharma. \u201cWe look forward to Veeva\u2019s support and expertise to help us ensure an efficient, digital-first, and compliant approach to commercialization subject, of course, to approval by the FDA later this year.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nFDA review of Impel\u2019s NDA for TRUDHESA\u2122 marks a major advance toward commercialization of this novel therapy. TRUDHESA\u2122 is the first and only product to utilize Impel\u2019s first-of-its-kind, proprietary Precision Olfactory Delivery\u00ae<\/sup> (POD) technology to deliver treatment directly to the vascular-rich upper nasal space. Traditional nasal delivery systems, such as pumps or sprays, deliver medicine to the lower nasal cavity which can result in variability in efficacy because of unpredictable delivery and variable absorption into the bloodstream.\n<\/p>\n \nStudies have shown that Impel\u2019s POD\u00ae<\/sup> technology allows for more predictable response due to the more consistent delivery and rapid absorption into the bloodstream, while being easy to use for patients. This new delivery technology may be particularly important for the majority of patients with migraine who experience nausea and vomiting during an attack.\n<\/p>\n \nTo accelerate its market preparation, Impel will adopt Veeva\u2019s suite of commercial applications, including multichannel Veeva CRM<\/a> as the foundation for in-person and digital engagement with physicians and Veeva Data Cloud<\/a> for longitudinal patient data to effectively segment right patients groups. Veeva business consulting<\/a> will also help design and implement customer-centric strategies that will enable Impel sales professionals to increase the value of their targeted interactions with healthcare professionals.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cImpel is pioneering a new approach to treating CNS and other diseases with high unmet needs and Veeva is proud to assist with the commercialization of their innovative products,\u201d said Peter Gassner, founder and CEO of Veeva. \u201cWe are committed to delivering the most advanced technology, data, and consulting that accelerates the industry\u2019s move to digital and speeds the delivery of novel medicines to patients.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Additional Information <\/b><\/p>\n \nConnect with Veeva on LinkedIn: linkedin.com\/company\/veeva-systems About TRUDHESA\u2122<\/b><\/p>\n \nImpel NeuroPharma is developing TRUDHESA\u2122 with the goal to be a transformative new therapy for the acute treatment of migraine headaches. TRUDHESA\u2122 aims to optimize dihydroergotamine mesylate (DHE) for fast and lasting whole migraine relief, regardless of when in the migraine attack it is administered, without an injection. Importantly, TRUDHESA\u2122 is designed to deliver a lower dose of DHE compared to other nasally administered, FDA-approved and investigational products. This may enable patients to benefit from the established efficacy of DHE, without the undesired side effects that may be experienced with delivery to the lower nasal space.\n<\/p>\n \nTRUDHESA\u2122 utilizes Impel\u2019s propellant-enabled POD technology to conveniently and consistently deliver optimal doses of DHE deep into the vascular rich upper nasal space, an ideal target for efficient drug administration. This may be particularly important for the majority of patients with migraine who experience nausea and\/or vomiting during an attack, which presents limitations for the use of oral therapies, including triptans, CGRP inhibitors and ditans as well as other non-specific medications used for the acute treatment of migraine.\n<\/p>\n About Impel NeuroPharma<\/b><\/p>\n \nImpel NeuroPharma, Inc. is a privately held, Seattle-based biopharmaceutical company focused on developing transformative therapies for people living with CNS and other disorders with high unmet medical needs. The Company is rapidly advancing a late-stage product pipeline that optimizes the effectiveness of proven treatments for neurological conditions, including TRUDHESA\u2122 for the acute treatment of migraine, INP107 for OFF episodes in Parkinson\u2019s disease, and INP105 for acute agitation associated with schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder and autism.\n<\/p>\n About Precision Olfactory Delivery or POD\u00ae<\/sup> Technology<\/b><\/p>\n \nImpel\u2019s proprietary Precision Olfactory Delivery (POD\u00ae<\/sup>) system is able to deliver a range of therapeutic molecules and formulations into the vascular rich upper nasal space, believed to be a gateway for unlocking the previously unrealized full potential of these molecules. By delivering predictable doses of drug directly to the upper nasal space, Impel\u2019s precision performance technology is designed to enable increased and consistent absorption of drug, with the potential to outperform the high variability associated with other nasal delivery systems. While an ideal target for drug administration, to date no other system has been developed to deliver drugs to the upper nasal space. By utilizing this route of administration, Impel NeuroPharma has been able to demonstrate blood concentration levels for its investigational therapies that are comparable to intramuscular (IM) administration and can even reach intravenous (IV)-like systemic levels quickly, which could transform the treatment landscape for many disorders.\n<\/p>\n \nImportantly, the POD technology offers propellant-enabled delivery of dry powder and liquid formulations that eliminates the need for coordination of breathing, allowing for self- or caregiver-administration in a manner that may improve patient outcome, comfort, and potentially, compliance.\n<\/p>\n \nIMPEL, POD and the IMPEL Logo are registered trademarks of Impel NeuroPharma, Inc.
