Forward looking statements
Forward looking statements
This
presentation
contains
forward-looking
statements
that
involve
substantial
risks
and
uncertainties.
All
statements,
other
than
statements
of
historical
facts,
included
in
this
presentation
are
forward-looking
statements.
Examples
of
such
statements
include
our
expectation
regarding
the
acceptance
of,
and
the
PDUFA
date
for,
the
resubmitted
Intermezzo
®
NDA;
FDA
having
a
favorable
view
of
the
Intermezzo
®
residual
effect
profile;
the
sufficiency
of
the
Intermezzo
®
NDA
to
gain
FDA
approval;
that
Intermezzo
®
will
become
the
first
prescription
sleep
aid
indicated
for
use
in
the
middle
of
the
night
and
the
first
strongly
differentiated
insomnia
treatment
strategy
since
Ambien
®
launch;
the
potential
market
size
for
a
middle
of
the
night
sleep
aid;
plans
to
commercialize
Intermezzo
®
under
favorable
market
conditions
through
the
Purdue
collaboration
and
the
receipt
by
Transcept
of
payments
from
Purdue
thereunder;
reimbursement
coverage
for
Transcept
product
candidates;
intellectual
property
protection
being
obtained
and
maintained
for
Transcept
product
candidates;
and
plans
to
begin
a
Phase
2
study
of
Setrodon
in
Q1
2011
and
report
results
therefrom
in
H1
2012.
Transcept
may
not
actually
meet
these
expectations
and
carryout
these
plans.
Various
important
factors
that
could
cause
actual
events
to
differ
materially
from
such
forward-looking
statements
include
FDA
deemed
insufficiencies
in
our
Intermezzo
®
NDA
resubmission,
competitive
product
commercialization;
adverse
patent
decisions
at
the
USPTO
or
in
court;
the
willingness
of
Purdue
to
commercialize
Intermezzo
®
and
its
ability
to
do
so
successfully;
payer
opinion
of
Intermezzo
®
,
if
approved;
dependence
on
third
parties
to
manufacture,
and
carry-out
the
planned
study
of
Setrodon ,
and
variability
in
the
business
of
Transcept
generally.
These
and
other
risks
are
described
in
greater
detail
in
the
"Risk
Factors"
section
of
Transcept
periodic
reports
filed
with
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission.
Forward-looking
statements
do
not
reflect
the
potential
impact
of
any
future
in-licensing,
collaborations,
acquisitions,
mergers,
dispositions,
joint
ventures,
or
investments
Transcept
may
enter
into
or
make.
Transcept
does
not
assume
any
obligation
to
update
any
forward-looking
statements,
except
as
may
be
required
by
law.

MOTN awakenings typically do not occur every night
7-8 hr sleep aids (Ambien
®
, Ambien
CR

) require
bedtime prophylactic dosing to prevent awakenings
An ideal therapeutic would:
Be used only at the time patients need help returning to sleep,
not every night in advance of a problem that may not occur
Return patients to sleep rapidly
Use a low dose to avoid next day residual effects

FDA Complete Response Letter (October 2009) and
subsequent discussions
FDA Complete Response Letter (October 2009) and
subsequent discussions
FDA indicated Transcept
has submitted substantial evidence
of effectiveness for Intermezzo
®
in its intended indication
FDA recognized that the Intermezzo
®
Phase 3 data did not
indicate significant next morning residual effects at 4 hrs
However, given the unique MOTN indication, FDA requested:
additional data on next morning driving effects
demonstration that inadvertent dosing errors can be minimized,
or that the consequences of such errors are acceptable
inadvertent re-dosing in a single night
inadvertent dosing with < 4 hrs of bedtime remaining
arguments against the conduct of an in-use study

Comparative analysis vs. previous driving study data: 
even when dosed off label (< 4hrs prior to driving),
