As shown in third party studies of DHE, SCN-104’s mechanism of action for its antimigraine effect is due to its potential action as an agonist at the serotonin 5-HT1D receptors. SCN-104 is intended for subcutaneous administration. SCN-104 is also intended for acute use and is not intended for chronic administration. Scienture has conducted two preclinical studies of SCN-104 and the SCN-104 injection pen: (i) a 30-day repeated dose toxicity study of dimethyl sulfoxide and caffeine following thrice daily, 3 times per week subcutaneous administration in Sprague-Dawley rats and (ii) a 30-day repeated dose toxicity study of dimethyl sulfoxide and caffeine following thrice daily, 3 times per week subcutaneous administration in Göttingen minipigs. Both studies support a conclusion that SCN-102 is considered to have no toxicological significance across hematology, coagulation parameters, clinical chemistry and urinalysis.
