Profile
Develops oral-film medicines through PharmFilm, with commercial revenue from licensed manufacturing, royalties, and collaborations. The proprietary pipeline is centered on Anaphylm for severe allergic reactions and Libervant for seizure clusters, both shaped by FDA review, litigation, and market-access constraints.
Built around PharmFilm, a proprietary oral-film delivery technology used in buccal, sublingual, and lingual formats. Commercial activity comes from manufacturing licensed products such as Suboxone, Sympazan, Ondif, and Emylif, while proprietary development focuses on rescue medicines including Anaphylm and Libervant.
Operations are U.S.-based, with headquarters and research in Warren, New Jersey and manufacturing in Portage, Indiana. The model depends on film formulation know-how, controlled manufacturing, licensee relationships, and regulatory execution.
Anaphylm remains unapproved after an FDA complete response tied to human-factors validation and a packaging-related pharmacokinetic study. Libervant's U.S. access remains constrained by orphan-exclusivity litigation and tentative approval timing.
