We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and development ofneffy(currently identified in the EU by the tradename EURneffy) for the needle-free intranasal delivery of epinephrine for the emergency treatment of Type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. neffyis the first and only FDA and EC-approved needle-free epinephrine product, and the first new delivery method for epinephrine in more than 35 years. neffyis a proprietary composition of epinephrine with an innovative absorption enhancer called Intravail, which allows neffyto safely provide intranasal delivery of epinephrine at a low dose within the exposures of approved injectable products across a range of dosing conditions (including repeat dosing and allergen challenge). We believe the market opportunity forneffy in the United States alone is significant. At the current list price for a two-pack ofneffyand our target total gross-to-net yield, the estimated 6.5 million patients currently prescribed an epinephrine autoinjector in the United States represents an initial addressable market opportunity of approximately $3 billion in annual net sales, while the remaining 13.5 million diagnosed patients that have not been prescribed an epinephrine product represent an additional addressable market opportunity of approximately $7 billion in annual net sales.
