Fredrik Tiberg, President and CEO:
“Camurus has had another good quarter with positive financial development and excellent performance across our businesses. Sales of Buvidal and Brixadi continued to grow, resulting in our best result to date, excluding one-time revenues. Our pipeline progressed well with positive Phase 3 results from the ACROINNOVA 2 study, confirming the long-term safety profile and efficacy of CAM2029 in patients with acromegaly. In parallel, our clinical studies of CAM2029 for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors and polycystic liver disease advanced. In the US, the FDA continued its review of our new drug application for CAM2029 in acromegaly. After the quarter, a Complete Response Letter was received from the Agency, solely relating to a cGMP-inspection at a third-party manufacturing site and pending issuance of an inspection classification.”
