The Efficacy and Tolerability of NP101, a Sumatriptan Iontophoretic Transdermal Patch, in the Treatment of Acute Migraine: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study

This study was a randomized, parallel group, double-blind, placebo controlled design to
compare the efficacy and tolerability of NP101 to a placebo iontophoretic transdermal patch.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the proportion of subjects who were
headache pain free at two hours after patch activation.

Key secondary objectives included:

1. The proportion of subjects who were nausea free at two hours after patch activation.

2. The proportion of subjects who were photophobia free at two hours after patch
activation.

3. The proportion of subjects who were phonophobia free at two hours after patch
activation.

Subjects stayed in the study until they had treated one migraine headache with a study patch
or two months after randomization, whichever occurred first. During a migraine headache,
subjects rated their baseline headache pain severity in a Migraine Study Diary using a
4-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe) and applied the study patch
only if their score was 2 or 3 (i.e., qualifying migraine headache). In addition to headache
pain severity, subjects also recorded the presence or absence of aura, nausea, phonophobia,
and photophobia, as well as the location of their headache (unilateral or bilateral) and
whether their headache increased with movement.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Subject is an adult male or female, age range 18 years to 65 years.

- Subject has a diagnosis of migraine headache, with or without aura, as defined in the
ICDH-II and the diagnosis was made before the age of 50.

- Subject typically experiences moderate to severe headaches during a migraine attack.

- Subject has at least a one year history of migraine.

- Subject will be judged to be in good health, based on results of a medical history,
physical examination, vital signs, ECG and laboratory profile.

- Female subject of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at
screening and prior to randomization.

- Subject must have a negative drug screen.

- Subject must be capable of reading and understanding either English or Spanish
subject information materials. Be able to successfully apply a practice patch,
carry-out all subject procedures, and be able to voluntarily sign and date an IRB
approved IC agreement.

- Subject has an acceptable patch application site (upper arm) that is relatively hair
free and has no scars, tattoos, scratches, or bruises.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subject has or plans to start, stop, or change treatment or dose with prophylactic
anti-migraine treatment within 3 months prior to the subjects' study randomization
date and through the final visit.

- Subject has or plans to start, stop, or change treatment or dose of any of the
following within 3 months prior to the subjects' study randomization date through
final visit: anxiolytics, lithium and other mood stabilizers, hypnotics or
antipsychotics.

- Subject had less than one migraine per month or more than six migraines per month, or
more than 15 headache days per month for any of the three months prior to
randomization.

participation.

- Subject has a history of epilepsy or conditions associated with a lowered seizure
threshold.

- Subject has Raynaud's disease.

- Subject has a history of basilar or hemiplegic migraines.

parameters.

- Subject is known to be hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV positive.

- Subject has hepatic dysfunction based on laboratory results or if in the opinion of
the Investigator the subject's history, physical examination or other laboratory
tests suggest hepatic dysfunction.

- Female subject who is pregnant, breast feeding, or if of childbearing potential, is
not using or is unwilling to use an effective form of contraception during the study
and for a period of 30 days following dosing.

- Subject has known history of failure to respond to sumatriptan.

- Subject has participated in a clinical study within 30 days of screening or is
