Today Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer of Theravance, Inc. (the "Company") presented at the 2013 Credit Suisse Annual Health Care Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. During the slide presentation, Mr. Winningham announced that TD-9855 did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint of symptom reduction as measured by AISRS (Adult Investigator Symptom Rating Scale) total score versus placebo in the Phase 2 study in adult patients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). TD-9855 was generally well tolerated with no serious adverse events at either the 5 mg or 20 mg dose of TD-9855. The most frequent adverse events observed in the study were headache, dizziness, decreased appetite, fatigue, and dry mouth. Mr. Winningham announced that the Company will not be continuing its TD-9855 program in ADHD. TD-9855 is currently being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 2 study in patients with fibromyalgia. Results from the fibromyalgia Phase 2 study are anticipated during the first half of 2014. TD-9855 is an investigational norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of central nervous system conditions such as chronic pain.
