About CAMBIA
Nautilus’ lead product, CAMBIA, is a novel treatment for acute migraine in adults. CAMBIA is the only prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) available for the acute treatment of migraine. Engineered using Dynamic Buffering Technology (DBT), CAMBIA is specifically designed for fast, effective relief from the symptoms of migraine. Designed to treat the underlying pathophysiology of migraine, Cambia reaches peak blood levels within 15 minutes and has been proven to provide equally as rapid relief in migraine. The FDA approval of CAMBIA was based on two Phase 3 placebo-controlled trials showing that CAMBIA was superior to placebo in all four FDA-mandated co-primary end points for migraine -- pain, nausea, photophobia and phonophobia. Both studies also showed that reduction in pain intensity was significantly greater in the CAMBIA group than in the placebo group as early as 15 minutes following treatment, and headache response rates were superior to placebo for up to 24 hours.
