Fredrik Tiberg, President and CEO:
“Camurus had a successful second quarter with increased growth for Buvidal® in Europe and Australia and positive development for Brixadi® in the US. The evidence base for these treatments was expanded with several new publications, including data on treatment efficacy in opioid dependent patients using fentanyl. Our product portfolio continued to advance with two regulatory applications under review for CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly, with expected approval decision by the FDA in October 2024 and by the EMA around the middle of next year. In parallel, pre-launch activities for Oclaiz™ and the establishment of our commercial organization in the US progressed according to plan. After the period, positive topline results from ACROINNOVA 2 were announced, confirming the safety profile and long-term efficacy of CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly.”
