Satsuma Pharmaceuticals to Host Key Opinion Leader Event

STS101 and the Acute Treatment of Migraine

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Satsuma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: STSA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced today that it will host a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) event discussing STS101 and the acute treatment of migraine on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at 12:00pm Eastern Time.

The event will feature presentations by headache medicine specialists Jessica Ailani, MD, from MedStar Georgetown Headache Center, and Alan Rapoport, MD, from The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, addressing the current treatment landscape for the acute treatment of migraine, unmet needs, and potential roles for Satsuma’s product candidate, STS101. As well, Satsuma's Chief Medical Officer, Detlef Albrecht, MD, will review the design of the ongoing STS101 EMERGE Phase 3 pivotal efficacy and safety trial. Following presentations, Drs. Ailani, Rapoport, Albrecht and members of Satsuma’s management team will be available to answer questions from the audience.

STS101 is an investigational product designed to make the well-established anti-migraine benefits of dihydroergotamine (DHE) more broadly accessible to people with migraine. STS101 is a simple-to-use, nasal-route DHE product featuring easy and quick self-administration (within a matter of seconds) and a pharmacokinetic profile similar to DHE administered by intramuscular injection, which Satsuma believes is necessary for achieving optimal DHE efficacy. In developing STS101, Satsuma has applied proprietary nasal drug delivery, dry-powder formulation, and engineered drug particle technologies to create a compact, pre-filled and ready-to-administer non-injectable DHE product candidate that it believes could, if approved, better meet the needs of people with migraine than current and development-stage DHE products. STS101 has undergone extensive preclinical development, completed a Phase 1 clinical trial, and is currently in Phase 3 development.
