Yes, they are struggling with their own tech. ELTP is the future. Hence why ELTP is on their radar, and why people bring up the "big players" on a little board like this...

All this talk about Oxycontin but in reality we are looking at BE trials and 505(B)(2) starting up soon for ANDAs and an NDA.....



CEO

"I mean, if you look at the abuse resistant marketplace and the technologies that have been utilized, you have the biggest, which is Purdue with their OxyContin product, and that's basically a hard shell. It's theoretically harder to crush, but the reality is if you put it in the microwave for 20 more seconds, then you're right back where you started from.

You have pain therapeutics, with the gel and people putting in -- what is it, nicotine and caffeine? We are sort of a one off. I mean, Embeda is a sort of the closest, but the difference there is that it's a one beat system. So you have the opioid and the agonist on the same bead, and that's why they
have the manufacturing problems that they have. It's difficult to do all on one bead.

What we've done is just separate them into two different beads. I mean, that's why we are excited about it. It's different. Quite frankly, it's much more straightforward, and it uses the pharmacologic approach, which clearly the FDA likes the best, because it's understandable in terms of the science. Okay?

You don't get high, because the agonist competes with the opioid for the receptors on the brain. Okay?


I basically talked about the kind of things of what we're going to do in this fiscal year; what our goals are from moving towards cash flow positive, ex-biostudy expense, and working on our abuse resistant products, hopefully bringing our final products to market.....

Extending the patent exit estate both here and internationally. Getting into the new facility and having that approved.

Perhaps if they can crawl out of their enormous pile of lawsuits... they might be able to focus more on where their technology has fallen so short. Their name has already been dragged through the mud in the industry from a product standpoint... an ethical standpoint... and apparently they don't pick partners well either or they'd already have a foot in the door with ELTP.

Maybe ELTP will give them a second chance? Doubt it.
