RE: Eton Pharma - Alkindi well received in the US16 Mar 2021 23:46
I read it as positive. It was launched late in the last quarter so revenues weren't going to be great. As year end is December.
But this is what they say: "New patient starts have grown every month since launch, and the company expects the growth to continue." "Significant adoption " is also mentioned so this is telling us how the adoption of the product is going after year end. They want to immediately supply Canadian market. Not wasting any time. I'm happy with that RNS. The prize is still Chronocort.
"Launch of ALKINDI® SPRINKLE. Eton launched ALKINDI SPRINKLE late in the fourth quarter of 2020. Initial reception from patients and pediatric endocrinologists has been strong and the company has already seen significant adoption of the product."
"ALKINDI SPRINKLE
Eton launched ALKINDI SPRINKLE in late 2020 and promotional activities have accelerated in 2021. The company’s pediatric endocrinology focused sales force has now reached a large number of the company’s initial targets. In addition to virtual meetings, sales reps are beginning to hold in-person meetings with prescribers as COVID restrictions have started to ease. The company expects the rate of in-person meetings to increase in the coming months, which is expected to drive even greater adoption of ALKINDI SPRINKLE. New patient starts have grown every month since launch, and the company expects the growth to continue.
Due to the strong initial reception to ALKINDI SPRINKLE in the United States and inbound interest from Canadian patients and physicians, Eton acquired the Canadian rights to ALKINDI SPRINKLE in January 2021. Eton is exploring the possibility of immediately supplying the product to patients through Canada’s Special Access Program while it works on compiling the product’s regulatory application to seek formal approval from Health Canada."
