Fibromyalgia has been estimated to affect approximately 5 million individuals in the United States. It is the most common musculoskeletal condition after osteoarthritis. Still, it is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Its characteristics include widespread muscle and joint pain and fatigue, as well as other symptoms. Fibromyalgia can lead to depression and social isolation.
Although fibromyalgia is often considered an arthritis-related condition, it is not truly a form of arthritis (a disease of the joints) because it does not cause inflammation or damage to the joints, muscles, or other tissues. Like arthritis, however, fibromyalgia can cause significant pain and fatigue, and it can interfere with a person’s ability to carry on daily activities.
Theravance Inc. (THRX) reported positive results from a Phase 2 study of TD-9855 in patients with fibromyalgia
TD-9855, discovered by THRX, is an investigational norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of central nervous system conditions such as chronic pain and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
The study demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in the primary and secondary endpoints at the 20 mg dose of TD-9855, which was generally well tolerated and, compared with placebo, significantly improved pain as well as other symptoms commonly associated with fibromyalgia.
THRX is a biopharmaceutical company with a pipeline of internally discovered product candidates and strategic collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. It is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small molecule medicines across a number of therapeutic areas including respiratory disease, bacterial infections, and central nervous system (CNS)/pain.

Alexza Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ALXA) said that ADASUVE(R) inhalation powder, pre-dispensed (loxapine) is now available in the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland).
Grupo Ferrer Internacional, S.A. is commercializing ADASUVE in the Nordic countries through a distribution agreement with Medivir AB. Ferrer is ALXA's commercial partner for ADASUVE in the Europe, Latin America and the Commonwealth of Independent States countries.
ALXA and Ferrer estimate that as many as 8 million adults in the EU alone suffer from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Agitation is a common symptom for these patients, characterized by feelings of distress, anxiety and loss of control.
ALXA received marketing authorization for ADASUVE from the European Commission in February 2013. ADASUVE is the first inhalation therapy for the rapid control of mild-to-moderate agitation in adult patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder authorized for marketing in the EU.
ADASUVE combines ALXA's proprietary Staccato system with loxapine, an antipsychotic medicinal product. The Staccato system is a hand-held inhaler that delivers a drug aerosol to the deep lung that results in intravenous-like pharmacokinetics and rapid systemic effects.
ALXA is focused on the research, development and commercialization of novel, proprietary products for the acute treatment of central nervous system conditions.
