Company

Assertio reflects an aspirational mindset that is forward thinking, energetic, and entrepreneurial in spirit. The Assertio mission of advancing patient care is reflected in our three-pillar strategy:

Maintain
Grow
Build

Maintain

In December 2017, the Company announced the signing of a definitive Commercialization Agreement with Collegium Pharmaceutical under which Collegium will commercialize the NUCYNTA pain franchise and Assertio will receive a royalty rate on all NUCYNTA revenues based on certain net sales thresholds.

Our long-term strategy is to continue to identify, license, develop and market distinctive products that offer enhanced therapeutic options for patients in need—all while maintaining the highest ethical standards in all our business practices.

We have developed and are licensing Acuform® technology, a patented oral delivery technology that allows for targeted, extended release of compounds into the upper GI tract. Acuform is currently utilized in four marketed products, including NUCYNTA ER and Gralise. To date, we’ve also licensed Acuform to six partners

Grow

We currently market three FDA-approved products for various neurological conditions.

Build

We have created a new specialty products business unit, with the objective of assembling a portfolio of specialty/orphan drugs that address the unmet needs of patients, physicians and payers. Our initial focus is the development of Cosyntropin (synthetic ACTH depot), a unique, late-stage product that, upon approval, will provide U.S. patients, physicians and payers with an alternative option.
