WORK PLAN SUMMARY

 

Objective:

 

The objective of the work plan is to optimize manufacturing and analytical activities around the production of BA058-sMTS which will be produced using a new automated process. This work plan will result in the production of BA058-sMTS patches at three different dosage strengths, and a matching placebo patch. This work plan will also support the application for and completion of a Phase 2 clinical study by Radius.

 

Deliverables:

 

·                  Delivery of up to 3 distinct GMP clinical doses of BA058 sMTS product plus 1 placebo dose for a Phase II clinical study and supporting stability work. This includes a maximum of 54,600 patches (detail for quantities is shown below.) and [*] POC applicators. Any additional patches or applicators required to support the clinical trial, stability program and the requirement for clinical retains (as per 3M’s SOP for a non-bioequivalence clinical study) will be provided under a Change Order at Radius request and expense.
