Commenting,
“Opiant delivered strong financial results in 2021, and continued pipeline momentum, led by OPNT003, nasal nalmefene. We believe the compelling results generated to date from our ongoing development program support OPNT003’s potential to be a differentiated treatment option for the emergency treatment of opioid overdose, particularly in the community setting. In parallel, we initiated dosing in our Phase 2 study for Alcohol Use Disorder, an important advancement for our deep pipeline aimed at bringing about a paradigm shift in the treatment of addictions and drug overdose. Looking ahead, with the clinical portion of our work complete, we look forward to the upcoming top line data from the PD study and remain dedicated to progressing OPNT003 to NDA submission, as well as the continued growth of our commercial organization in preparation for a potential launch in the U.S.”
