IV Meloxicam Target Opportunity
Intra-abdominal Procedures
Surgeons have keen
interest in:
Avoidance of opioids
Avoidance of troughs in
existing non-opioid pain
med options
If approved, could answer
needs through:
Relief of moderate to
severe pain over 24 hours
Reducing LOS 
34
Orthopedic Procedures
Surgeons have keen
interest in:
Long lasting serious pain
relief to get the patient
through the trip home and
first post-op day/night
Many surgeons concerned
about opioid use and
potential for addiction
If approved, could answer
needs through:
Relief of moderate to
severe pain over 24 hours
No addiction properties


Ambulatory Surgical Centers Offer Opportunity for High
Volume Surgeons To Gain Early Meloxicam Experience

ER procedures include many medical uses (e.g. back pain) where there is no surgical procedure; at launch ER utilization is considered spillover from other hospital settings

Reversal agent specific to licensed compounds; acts quickly by a chemical

Reversal agent may require further refinement formulation
39


NMB –
What is the clinical need?
Novel NMBs and related agents with the potential for rapid onset with ultra-
short and intermediate durations of action, along with the potential to be
rapidly reversed
Clinical potential: reducing the time required for induction of anesthesia and
the time needed to recover from NMB that patients require post procedure
(in the OR and in the PACU) while potentially enhancing patient safety.
Current alternatives when patients need “reversing” from neuromuscular
blockade: 
i.
encapsulating/binding reversal agents (Sugammadex)
ii.
enzymatic reversal agents (Neostigmine)
Both pathways may require higher doses and therefore incur greater
expense if used earlier in a procedure compared to late in a procedure
(i.e., when more  NMB agent is remaining in the patient’s system)
However, the proposed reversal agent used to reverse RP1000 and
RP2000, may more quickly reverse neuromuscular blockade via a chemical
reaction
This outcome could be beneficial to the patient and result in meaningful
cost savings for the hospital/ASC

To supplement our financial results determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we have also
disclosed in the table below the following non-GAAP information for our Contract Development and Manufacturing
division (‘CDMO segment”): earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Excess Cash
Flow.  We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our CDMO segment as such useful
to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management.  EBITDA is used by
investors, as well as management in assessing our performance. Under the credit agreement with our lender (OrbiMed),
Excess Cash Flow after interest paid on the OrbiMed
debt, is one of the metrics used to determine the amount that
OrbiMed
may require the Company to prepay on the outstanding principal on our loan on a quarterly basis (see Notes to
Financial Statements for description of the credit agreement). Excess Cash Flow is a useful measure of cash flow
available to not just service debt, but also use for other Company operating activities, including product development and
commercialization. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for,
reported GAAP results. Further, Non-GAAP financial measures, even if similarly titled, may not be calculated in the
same manner by all companies, and therefore should not be compared.

Design
Outcome
Phase 2 Study -
02
Acute pain following dental
surgery (N = 230)
Statistically significant differences for meloxicam 
doses compared to placebo were seen in SPID24,
pain relief and onset of pain relief
Phase 2 Study -
04
Acute pain following open
abdominal hysterectomy
surgery (N = 486)
Statistically significant differences for meloxicam
doses compared to placebo were seen in multiple
efficacy analyses, including SPID24.  meloxicam
30 mg and 60 mg produced the greatest response
with no difference between doses
Phase 2 Study -
05
Acute pain following
laparoscopic abdominal
surgery (N =50)
Study stopped early (planned N = 250) for
business reasons.  However, statistically
significant differences in SPID48 observed for
30mg QD dose despite small sample size
