neffy results from an oral food challenge (OFC) Phase III study2‡
In a Phase III study of 15 Japanese patients aged 6 to 17 years, patients receiving neffy 2 mg (n=9) experienced2:
Symptom Relief
TEAEs
- Regardless of relationship to OFC, 6 patients (66.7%) experienced ≥1 TEAE, with 5 patients (55.6%) having a TEAE that was considered treatment-related
- 2 patients (22.2%) had a TEAE that was considered induced by the OFC, none of which was considered treatment-related
- No patients experienced serious adverse events during the study
‡This study took place outside of the United States and was completed in Japan.
§One patient developed a biphasic reaction 2 hours and 45 minutes following administration of neffy and was treated with epinephrine at the time of that reaction.
TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event.
PK data
neffy pharmacokinetic data
neffy has comparable epinephrine levels1*

N=42
*PK data are not indicative of efficacy and the clinical significance is not known.
†Based on multiple clinical trials, the exposures in the first 10 minutes between neffy administration and IM injection were similar.1
‡A single dose of neffy 2 mg, 0.3 mg dose of IM epinephrine injection, and 0.3 mg epinephrine auto-injector were administered by caregivers to healthy adult subjects.1
IM, intramuscular; PK, pharmacokinetic.
In patients with rhinitis, neffy has comparable epinephrine levels in similar times1*†
Epinephrine geometric mean plasma concentration-time profiles following 1 or 2 dose(s) in healthy adults with and without nasal allergen challenge induced rhinitis
Mean epinephrine concentration – single dose

Mean epinephrine concentration – two doses

N=41
*PK data are not indicative of efficacy and the clinical significance is not known.
†Study analyzed PK and PD of neffy 2 mg in seasonal allergy patients under normal conditions and nasal allergen challenge induced rhinitis compared with
IM, intramuscular; NAC, nasal allergen challenge; PD, pharmacodynamic; PK, pharmacokinetic.
Safety data
neffy was generally well tolerated across clinical trials1

Common adverse reactions in primary trials1 | ||
---|---|---|
Adverse reaction|| | neffy 2mg | neffy 2mg |
Throat irritation | 2% | 19% |
Headache | 6% | 18% |
Nasal discomfort | 10% | 13% |
Feeling jittery | 1% | 11% |
Tremor | 0% | 8% |
Rhinorrhea | 3% | 7% |
- No serious TEAEs in all clinical trials2-7
- Most TEAEs were considered mild or moderate and resolved quickly2-7
- No risk of needle-related injuries such as lacerations, finger sticks, or blood vessel injections1
‖Data include subjects with nasal allergen challenge induced rhinitis.1
¶The trials used a crossover design and, therefore, the total number of subjects do not match the number of unique subjects (n=175).1
#Two nasal doses of neffy 2 mg were administered 10 minutes apart.1
