Bryn Pharma Raises $11 Million in Financing to Advance Bi-Dose Epinephrine Nasal Spray for Anaphylaxis

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Bryn Pharma, LLC ("Bryn" or the "Company"), a privately held pharmaceutical company dedicated to finding a better way for patients and caregivers to treat anaphylaxis, today announced that it has raised an additional $11 million in financing to fund the remaining development and regulatory approval activities, and pre-launch commercialization program for BRYN-NDS1C, its bi-dose epinephrine nasal spray. The financing was an extension of the financing transaction completed by the Company in October 2019 and brings the total proceeds from the transaction to $26 million. This was the fourth financing series completed by the Company. Participants included existing and new investors comprised of investment funds, family offices and private investors.

"This financing provides us further resources to continue building the value of Bryn Pharma and to bring our disruptive nasal epinephrine product to the large number of patients requiring protection from anaphylactic events," said David Dworaczyk, Ph.D., CEO of Bryn Pharma. "We are pleased with the enthusiastic response to this offering and to the continued support of investors as we forge ahead with this important initiative for anaphylactic patients."

BRYN-NDS1C Bi-Dose Epinephrine Nasal Spray
Bryn Pharma's Bi-dose Epinephrine Nasal Spray (BRYN-NDS1C) is a single, portable, needle-free device capable of delivering two therapeutic doses of epinephrine, replacing the need to carry two epinephrine auto-injectors. In early 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track Designation to BRYN-NDS1C. The human clinical trial program designed to support U.S. approval to market the product candidate is currently underway. In April 2020, results of the latest human clinical trial were presented at the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting and demonstrated that intranasal (IN) delivery of epinephrine from the Company's needle-free, bi-dose device was comparable to intramuscular (IM) injection in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety. BRYN-NDS1C is not currently approved for sale by the FDA or any international regulatory authority.

About Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction. The most common anaphylactic reactions are to foods, insect stings, medication and latex.¹ A major difference between anaphylaxis and other allergic reactions is that anaphylaxis typically involves more than one system of the body.² Anaphylaxis requires immediate medical treatment, driving approximately 100,000 emergency room visits in the U.S. each year.^1,3 Because 30% of patients who develop anaphylaxis will require a second dose of epinephrine to control symptoms, practice parameters recommend that physicians provide patients with two auto-injectors.⁴ If not treated properly, anaphylaxis can be fatal.² However, studies have shown that the majority of people at risk for anaphylaxis often do not carry two epinephrine auto-injectors due in part to size and cost of the products, putting patients at greater risk of severe complications during an allergic reaction.
