Method and composition for treating migraines



Abstract

A method for treating migraines is disclosed. The method utilizes a rapid drug delivery system which prevents deactivation or degradation of the active agent, including small molecules and peptides being administered to a patient in need of treatment. In particular, the drug delivery system is designed for inhalation for delivery of drugs to the pulmonary circulation in a rapid and therapeutically effective manner.



Inventors: Leone-Bay; Andrea (Ridgefield, CT), Stowell; Grayson W. (Gaylordsville, CT), Guarneri; Joseph J. (Stamford, CT), Carlson; Dawn M. (New Milford, CT), Grant; Marshall (Newtown, CT), Smutney; Chad C. (Watertown, CT)

Leona-Bay, a MNKD scientist was granted the patent to Migraine treatment today.
Spiro and I met and spoke with Dr Leona -Bay after her Technosphere presentation at the Drug Delivery conference this past Jan. Along with Al Mann and Jonathon Goldman (partnership guy) she was very excited about it's potential and believe it could be bigger than Afrezza.
With the patent protection granted it now allows MNKD to start partnering Technosphere/Crickett device for Migraines.

AGN has a Migraine drug and MNKD has an Inhaler. Potential opportunity .
