We’ve had more than 13,000 customer interactions to educate & discuss the long-acting local anesthetic’s impact on the veterinary surgical protocol

According to market research among surgeons, 90% of those surveyed were aware of NOCITA and they’re prescribing NOCITA because it provides 72 hours of pain relief and its safety profile

We were granted FDA-approval for a label expansion to include its use as a peripheral nerve block to provide regional post-operative analgesia following onychectomy in cats

We amended our agreements with the supplier of NOCITA, Pacira, and anticipate commencing a post-approval submission process for a smaller vial size. If approved, we anticipate a 10 mL vial could be available in the fall of 2019

Exclusive, worldwide rights to develop and commercialize AT-019 from AskAt, Inc.

- AT-019 is a chemically and molecularly differentiated therapeutic candidate that is thought to work by inhibiting the EP4 receptor downstream on the arachidonic cascade

- The therapeutic candidate has potential in pain, inflammation and other indications in dogs and cats

AskAt has conducted several pre-clinical studies evaluating AT-019 safety, potency and toxicity compared to grapiprant. Data on file shows promising initial indicators

Aratana has started early development work. For our commercially available therapeutics, the path to regulatory approval can take 4-6 years and includes pilot work; establishing a clinical dose; securing supply; and target animal safety and pivotal efficacy studies

Inappetence in Dogs in the U.S.

“I have nothing that works well for inappetence. It makes it difficult to diagnose or treat the underlying condition.”

“Lack of appetite can be very distressful to owners. If the dog isn’t eating they call me and if I

can’t fix the problem, it can be one of the main reasons

for euthanasia.”

10 million dogs are inappetent

4 million dogs are treated for inappetence

(2M chronic/2M acute)

Consequences of Inappetence• When animals do not eat over a period of time, they experience weight loss and

muscle wasting

• Pet owners are distressed by these effects and often perceive them as evidence of suffering

• If pets develop extreme frailty, treatment options may not be as effective

• A long-term poor nutritional state may result in:1,2,3

• Decreased quality of life leading to decreased survival• Decreased musculoskeletal strength• Delayed wound healing• Decreased immune response

• ENTYCE is a ghrelin receptor agonist that mimics the effect of ghrelin (the “hunger hormone”)

• Like naturally occurring ghrelin, ENTYCE binds to specific cell receptors and affects signaling in the hypothalamus, causing the feeling of hunger.

• All surgical procedures result in some degree of tissue trauma and associated pain1

• There are 3 main reasons to minimize acute, post-surgical pain:• Ethical obligation to minimize pain and suffering

• Pain delays healing and return to function

• Unmanaged, acute pain can lead to chronic, maladaptive pain

Time (hours)

• How long does post-operative pain persist?• Limited data, but will vary with the type of surgical procedure

performed

• Perception of pain occurs during the inflammatory phase of wound healing, which lasts approximately 72 hours

• Therefore, 72 hours is the recommended minimum amount of time analgesics should be provided following surgery1

• Local anesthetics (LAs) are one of the most effective means of preventing transduction and transmission of pain signals

• Block sodium channels on the nerve cell membrane

• Prevent propagation of action potentials (pain signals)

• Current guidelines advocate use of LAs for post-operative pain1,2

• Considered safe with side effects generally limited to very high doses and do not appear to delay tissue healing1
