Impel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: IMPL) announced promising results from a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation of Trudhesa, a nasal spray formulation of dihydroergotamine, showing no predicted drug-drug interactions (DDIs) of clinical concern when used with gepants. The analysis from the STOP 301 trial indicates that Trudhesa can be safely co-administered with preventive CGRP therapies, such as erenumab, with limited adverse events reported. Trudhesa offers rapid and sustained migraine relief, bypassing gastrointestinal metabolism and allowing use during migraine attacks. Approximately 31 million adults in the U.S. suffer from migraines, emphasizing the need for effective treatment options. Trudhesa uses Impel's proprietary Precision Olfactory Delivery technology to enhance drug absorption without injections.
Impel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: IMPL) announces the appointment of Darren Cline to its Board of Directors, effective April 12, 2023.

Cline aims to leverage his expertise to enhance the adoption and commercialization of Trudhesa in the acute migraine market, which is seeing increasing prescriptions. The company emphasizes the potential growth of Trudhesa and its innovative POD® technology, which facilitates effective drug delivery.
