Paladin labs Inc. (TSX:PLB), a leading Canadian specialty Pharmaceutical company, announced today the launch of Abstral(R) (fentanyl citrate sublingual tablet). Abstral(R) is a novel, rapidly-disintegrating, sublingual (under the tongue) formulation of fentanyl, a well-established opioid used for the management of breakthrough pain for cancer patients already receiving, and tolerant to opioid analgesics for chronic pain. Abstral(R) will complement Paladin's growing pain franchise which includes Tridural(R), Metadol(R) and Pennsaid(R). "Though officially launching today, Abstral(R) has been available to patients and their physicians in Canada for almost 2 months under our compassionate early use program", said Jonathan Ross Goodman, President and CEO of Paladin Labs. "This early experience program with Abstral(R) has seen meaningful and heart-warming quality of life improvements in many patients taking our product. The importance of this quality of life improvement to patients, their families and care givers should not be underestimated and gives us confidence as we now transition into the full commercial launch phase of this important new product." Paladin obtained the Canadian rights from ProStrakan Group plc ("ProStrakan"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd., (TSE:4151) in December 2008 and was granted Canadian regulatory approval in February 2011. About Abstral(R) Abstral(R) is a fast-acting and rapidly disintegrating tablet for sublingual administration of fentanyl intended for the management of breakthrough pain in cancer patients who are already receiving, and tolerant to opioid analgesics for their underlying persistent cancer pain. Abstral(R) is already marketed by ProStrakan across the principal European markets. In the top four European markets, Abstral(R) achieved a 24% market share by tablet volume of short-acting fentanyl products (Source: IMS data June 2010). About Breakthrough Cancer Pain Breakthrough cancer pain ("BTP") is defined as rapid onset and short duration exacerbations of severe pain experienced by patients who have relatively stable and adequately controlled baseline pain.(1) It is known as BTP because it "breaks through" a regular pain medicine schedule. For some patients, BTP occurs during certain everyday activities, such as walking or dressing. For others, it occurs unexpectedly without any apparent cause. Between 64% to 89% of patients with cancer experience BTP and they average 4 to 7 episodes per day.
