Flamel Technologies Announces Positive Results of a First-in-Man Clinical Trial With Micropump Sodium Oxybate

Potential Elimination of the “Middle-of-the-Night Dose” Achieved; Current Study Continues to Allow for More Information on Higher Doses; Conference Call With Management to Take Place at 8:45 AM EDT on April 7, 2014

LYON, FRANCE — April 7, 2014 — Flamel Technologies (NASDAQ: FLML) today announced that its First-in-Man (FIM) clinical study in healthy volunteers using its proprietary Micropump® technology applied to sodium oxybate has identified formulations that demonstrate the potential to eliminate the second nighttime dose for patients suffering from narcolepsy. The current dosing regimen for the standard of care, Xyrem® (sodium oxybate), in the United States is two equal, divided doses: the first dose at bedtime and the second dose 2.5 to 4 hours later. The elimination of the second dose for narcolepsy patients would not only provide more convenience, but may improve the benefit sodium oxybate provides as there will be no disruption to nighttime sleep. The potential for additional benefits, including improved safety, will be studied.

The trial was designed as a 16 subject four-way crossover evaluating three different formulations of Micropump sodium oxybate and Xyrem at a nightly dose of 4.5g (two doses of 2.25g for Xyrem) with an extension phase at 6g for successful Micropump formulations. Each subject consumed a standard meal two hours prior to dosing. Subjects were instructed to maintain a consistent meal time and dosing schedule throughout the study. When a subject took Xyrem they were instructed to take the second dose 4 hours after the first dose. Two subjects dropped out of the study prior to the completion of the 4.5g dosing portion for reasons unrelated to drug. The key data for the 14 evaluable subjects at 4.5g are:

• Onset of action similar to Xyrem
• Cmax lower than Xyrem
• Mean blood concentration (ug/ml) at hours 7 and 8 similar to Xyrem

For the extension phase of the study, two formulations were moved forward for dosing at 6g. Thirteen subjects were evaluable as one subject dropped out for a reason unrelated to drug. The profiles for both formulations were consistent with expectations.

The current study will continue to treat subjects at higher doses.

Given these results, Flamel plans to begin a new clinical study before the end of 2014 in a larger number of subjects further evaluating its formulations as well as certain pharmacodynamic endpoints. This study is not expected to be a registration study. Flamel plans to meet with regulatory authorities prior to embarking upon registration studies which are expected to begin prior to the end of 2015.

Flamel’s Micropump technology is protected by intellectual property through at least 2025 in the United States. Micropump is a proven drug delivery platform for the oral delivery of small molecules.

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder involving irregular patterns in Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and significant disruptions of the normal sleep/wake cycle. People with narcolepsy experience excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep attacks, cataplexy, sleep paralysis, hallucinations and disrupted nighttime sleep.

Xyrem® is sold in the United States by Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc, in Canada by Valeant Canada Limited (via license from Jazz) and in twenty-two EU countries and Mexico by UCB Pharma Limited (via license from Jazz).

A conference call to discuss these results and other updates is scheduled for 8:45 AM Eastern Daylight Time on April 7, 2014. A question and answer period will follow management’s prepared remarks. To participate in the conference call, investors are invited to dial 888-857-6930 (U.S.) or 719-457-2615 (international).
