Current report
In addition to these commercial brands, we recently completed a Phase II study in patients with cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy(“DMD”).This rare, fatal genetic neuromuscular disease results in deterioration of the skeletal, heart and lung muscles. The next steps for this DMD Program include further data analysis and completion of a full study report in preparation for an end-of-Phase-II meeting with the FDA to determine next steps associated with the product’s development and commercialization.

FDA Approves Acetadote® sNDA
Current report
Cumberland previously announced the FDA approval of a supplemental New Drug Application for Acetadote®, our IV treatment for preventing or lessening liver injury after ingestion of potentially toxic quantities of acetaminophen.
Current report
Acetaminophen, a common over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer, is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the United States. Each year, thousands of individuals experience accidental or intentional acetaminophen poisoning, leading to serious liver damage.
Current report
The new dosing regimen simplifies the administration of Acetadote by combining the first two bags of the standard regimen into a single, slower infusion. This streamlined approach has been implemented in hospitals across multiple countries and demonstrated to reduce the frequency of medication errors and potentially serious non-allergic anaphylactoid reactions without compromising effectiveness. By simplifying the dosing regimen, health care providers can administer the life-saving treatment more efficiently, potentially improving patient outcomes.
Current report
New Study Compares Caldolor® (ibuprofen injection) to ketorolac
Current report
We also announced the publication of new real-world outcomes research involving 150,000 patients, which compared our Caldolor® (ibuprofen) injection to its key competitor – ketorolac – in both adult and pediatric populations. The study, published in Frontiers of Pain Research, provided compelling evidence that Caldolor is associated with a significantly reduced incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and improved health care utilization when compared to ketorolac.
Current report
This extensive, retrospective, payer database analysis evaluated the records of over 17 million patients who had received either Caldolor or ketorolac. Ultimately, 31,046 Caldolor and 124,184 ketorolac adult patients were selected and compared for ADRs and subsequent health care resource utilization, which includes inpatient, outpatient and emergency department visits as well as all procedures and prescriptions during the follow up time of 29 days. An additional 5,579 pediatric patients were identified in each arm and compared in a separate claims analysis.
Current report
Key findings reveal that, in adults, Caldolor was associated with a 45% reduction in renal dysfunction (p<0.001) and a 78% decrease in hematuria rates (p<0.001) when compared to ketorolac. Notably, patients also experienced fewer gastrointestinal complications as well as reduced headaches, nausea and abdominal pain. Among pediatric patients, the results showed Caldolor was associated with a 51-65% lower rate of ADRs, including headache and nausea, with 95% confidence intervals supporting clinical significance.
Current report
Caldolor also demonstrated a positive impact on health care resource utilization (HCRU) when compared to ketorolac, with decreased emergency room and outpatient visits, as well as a shortened hospital length of stay for both adults and children.
Current report
These findings underscore Caldolor’s potential to improve patient care by reducing their treatment complications, while also delivering potential saving for health care systems through decreased hospital readmissions and shortened treatment times.
Current report
In February, we announced positive top-line results from the Phase II study evaluating our ifetroban product candidate in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This marks a breakthrough for these patients, as it is the first successful Phase II study specifically targeting the cardiac complications of their condition. These study results were selected for a late-breaking presentation in March at the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Clinical & Scientific Conference. That platform allowed us to share our promising results with the global DMD community, including leading researchers, clinicians and patient advocates who are working tirelessly to improve outcomes for those affected by this devastating disease. The next steps for our DMD program include further data analysis and completion of a full study report in preparation for an end-of-Phase-2 meeting with the FDA to determine the requirements for the product’s approval.
Current report
We have been evaluating our ifetroban product candidate in a Phase II clinical programs evaluating our ifetroban product candidate in patients with Systemic Sclerosis or scleroderma, a debilitating autoimmune disorder characterized by diffuse fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Enrollment in the study is now complete, and we are monitoring the clinical sites in preparation to lock the database and begin evaluating the study. We expect to announce top-line results from this study later this year.
Current report
We recently learned that our potent antibiotic Vibativ received approval from the regulatory authorities in China. That milestone provides us with access to the world’s second-largest pharmaceutical market – and we look forward to the launch of our product there.
Current report
Competition
Current report
The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by intense competition and rapid innovation. Our continued success in developing and commercializing pharmaceutical products will depend, in part, upon our ability to compete against existing and future products in our target markets. Competitive factors directly affecting our markets include but are not limited to:
Current report
• product attributes such as efficacy, safety, ease-of-use and cost-effectiveness;
Current report
• brand awareness and recognition driven by sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;
Current report
• intellectual property and other exclusivity rights;
Current report
• availability of resources to build and maintain developmental and commercial capabilities;
Current report
• successful business development activities;
Current report
• extent of third-party reimbursements, insurance coverage; and
Current report
• establishment of advantageous collaborations to conduct development, manufacturing or commercialization efforts.
Current report
Our products face competition from other branded products, generics and alternate medical treatments. Our task is to position each brand to feature its competitive advantages, implement a well-thought-out marketing plan and provide focused sales, field-based medical and other tactical support.
Current report
Kristalose is a dry powder crystalline prescription formulation of lactulose indicated for the treatment of constipation. The U.S. constipation therapy market includes various prescription and over the counter, or OTC, products. There are several branded prescription products which we believe are our primary competitors including Amitiza®, Movantik®, Linzess® and Vibrant®.
Current report
There are several hundred OTC products used to treat constipation marketed by numerous pharmaceutical and consumer health companies. MiraLax® (polyethylene glycol 3350), previously a prescription product, was indicated for the treatment of constipation and manufactured and marketed by Bayer. MiraLax was converted to an OTC product and as a result the FDA rescinded the approval of the generic prescription polyethylene glycol 3350 products.
Current report
There are also other lactulose products available in the U.S. including Constulose, Enulose and Generalac, as well as several generics. Prescriptions for our Kristalose product are often substituted and filled by one of these generic products. During the first quarter of 2025, a generic crystalline lactulose product was approved, available from PAI Pharma.
Current report
Tariffs
Current report
The United States and other countries have recently begun imposing new tariffs on international trade. While pharmaceuticals have been largely exempt from these recently imposed U.S. tariffs, such exemptions may be removed in the future. We continue to monitor and evaluate the impacts of tariffs on our business and the results of our operations.

State Medicaid Coverage for Kristalose Grows
Previous report
We continue to see that Kristalose, our prescription-strength laxative, performs best in states where we have Medicaid coverage, such as Texas, New York and Wisconsin. The product is now also covered on certain Virginia, Louisiana and Maine Medicaid plans. We are encouraged to see the positive impact on our business as more states provide favorable Medicaid coverage for Kristalose and we will continue working to increase awareness in those states.

New WHO Report Highlights Need for Antibiotics like Vibativ
Previous report
A new report from the World Health Organization("WHO") found that antimicrobial resistance is an urgent global health and socioeconomic crisis. Further, the worldwide rise in antibiotic resistance poses a significant threat, diminishing the efficacy of many common antibiotics against widespread bacterial infections. Unlike many antibiotics that are losing the battle to fight bacteria, Vibativ’s unique dual method of action was specifically designed to address drug-resistant bacteria and we therefore believe it has the potential to help many patients amid the growing resistance crisis.
Previous report
Vibativ can serve as a potentially life-saving treatment in patients with hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia resulting from infections including the flu and COVID-19. It is designed to treat serious infections due to Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and other Gram-positive bacteria, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). Vibativ addresses a range of Gram-positive bacterial pathogens, including those that are considered difficult-to-treat and multidrug-resistant.
Previous report
Expanded Patient Support for Sancuso
Previous report
During the third quarter of 2024 we launched a new sampling program for our oncology support medication, Sancuso, that broadens access to the product, allowing more patients to try it and experience its benefits. We also introduced a new HUB services capability to provide enhanced patient support, ensuring patients receive comprehensive assistance throughout their treatment journey.
Previous report
Vaprisol Supply Update
Previous report
Demand for our Vaprisol product increased in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we worked to support the expanded use of the product in hospitals and clinics during the health care crisis. In 2021, we distributed all remaining inventory of the Vaprisol product we possessed and subsequently notified the FDA that supplies of the product are not currently available. We have since transferred the manufacturing of the product to a new facility. Our new manufacturing and distribution partner is working with the FDA to address several Form 483 issues in a timely manner. As we await FDA approval for making the branded product there, our manufacturer is providing a special supply of compounded product in support of critically ill patients. The companies share in the sales of this compounded product.
Previous report
Vaprisol is the first and only intravenously administered vasopressin receptor antagonist. It is used to raise serum sodium levels in hospitalized patients with hyponatremia, the most common electrolyte disorder among such patients.
Previous report
Federal NOPAIN Act
Previous report
In April 2023, we announced that we expect that our Caldolor product will be eligible for special Medicare reimbursement under the Non-Opioids Prevent Addiction in the Nation Act(the “NOPAIN Act”), which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023.
Previous report
This Act requires Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) to provide separate reimbursement for non-opioid products that are used to manage pain during surgeries conducted in hospital outpatient departments or in ambulatory surgical centers. The NOPAIN Act applies, in part, to products that are indicated to provide analgesia, without acting upon the body’s opioid receptors. The reimbursement for non-opioid pain alternatives under the NOPAIN Act will apply to those products that are furnished between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2028.
Previous report
Cumberland submitted comments to CMS in July 2023 and July 2024, arguing, among other things, that Caldolor meets the statutory requirements for separate payment under the NOPAIN Act because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved Caldolor for a general acute pain indication that encompasses use for the reduction of postoperative pain based on clinical studies in patients with postoperative pain.
Previous report
On November 1, 2024, CMS announced a list of products for separate payment under the NOPAIN Act through their Calendar Year 2025 Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (“OPPS”) Ruling. The list does not include Caldolor. CMS concluded that Caldolor and certain other products do not qualify for separate payment under the NOPAIN Act because “there is no mention of post-operative or post-surgical use in the FDA-approved indications.”
Previous report
The Company was surprised and disappointed with this determination, as the majority of Caldolor’s use is associated with surgery and the FDA approval of the product’s pain indication was based on studies of patients with post-surgical pain.
Previous report
Furthermore, CMS’s November 1 list of products eligible for separate payment under the NOPAIN Act does not appear to add any new pharmaceuticals. Cumberland does not believe that CMS’s determination regarding Caldolor is consistent with the intent of the NOPAIN legislation.
Previous report
We are evaluating our potential options, and next initiatives for continuing to seek separate payment for Caldolor.
Previous report
We have been evaluating our ifetroban product candidate, a selective thromboxane-prostanoid receptor antagonist, in a series of clinical studies. It has now been dosed in nearly 1,400 subjects and has been found to be safe and well tolerated in healthy volunteers and various patient populations. We have three Phase II clinical programs underway evaluating our ifetroban product candidate in patients with 1) Systemic Sclerosis or scleroderma, a debilitating autoimmune disorder characterized by diffuse fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, 2) cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a rare, fatal, genetic neuromuscular disease results in deterioration of the skeletal, heart, and lung muscles and 3) Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, the most common form of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease. This third program is our newest, with enrollment now underway. We expect to close two of these ifetroban studies this year.
Previous report
We recently applied for two FDA designations for our Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy product candidate:
Previous report
1)Orphan Drug Designation, which is granted to products that show promise in the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of rare – or orphan – diseases; such designation can result in a number of benefits associated with the FDA review process including exclusivity after approval of the product.
Previous report
2)Rare Pediatric Disease Designation, which is given to products intended to prevent or treat serious or life-threatening diseases that primarily affect children from birth to 18 years of age. Upon FDA approval, this designation may result in a priority review voucher from the FDA for a different product.
Previous report
Cumberland subsequently was informed by the FDA that both the Orphan Drug Designation and the Rare Pediatric Disease Designation requests for this candidate have been granted.
Previous report
Our plan going forward is to complete each of our Company-sponsored studies, analyze their final data, announce top-line results and decide on the best development path for the registration of ifetroban, which we continue to believe has the potential to benefit many patients with orphan diseases that represent unmet medical needs.
Previous report
Meanwhile, our Vibativ partner for the Chinese market, SciClone Pharmaceuticals, had their approval application in China accepted for review in September 2021. We have since been supporting SciClone and their requests associated with the review of that submission. They are working toward the approval and believe that there is significant potential for Vibativ in their country.

CET Program Developments
Previous report
Through our work at CET, we continue to build a long-term pipeline of innovative new biopharmaceutical products. CET represents a joint initiative among Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc., Vanderbilt University, the state-supported Launch Tennessee and an international partner – WinHealth Pharma. CET’s mission is to bring biomedical technologies and products conceived at Vanderbilt and other regional research centers to the marketplace.
Previous report
There have been two recent developments among the programs CET is supporting.
Previous report
Enrollment concluded and top-line results have become available for the MENDING Trial, a Phase II investigator-initiated study evaluating the safety and efficacy of a new treatment for delirium in critically ill patients. The study was conducted in partnership with Vanderbilt University Medical Center and funded by the National Institute of Health (“NIH”).
Previous report
The MENDING Trial enrolled 97 critically ill patients who were admitted to the Vanderbilt Intensive Care Unit (“ICU”) for treatment of respiratory failure or shock and treated 39 who, while in the ICU, developed delirium. Delirious patients received twice-daily IV treatment or placebo and were evaluated over the course of 14 days.
Previous report
The primary endpoint for this study was the safety of this new treatment. The study also evaluated patient days without delirium or coma. Additional endpoints included ventilator-free days; hospital-free days; drug exposure for antipsychotics, opioids, and sedatives; and cognitive function.
Previous report
The MENDING Trial successfully demonstrated that the new treatment was well-tolerated in these ICU patients diagnosed with delirium.
Previous report
In addition the new treatment was associated with 1) a reduction in days with delirium; 2) reduced use of antipsychotics, opioids, and sedatives; and 3) a decrease in delirious patients experiencing comas. While the efficacy results were not statistically significant given the limited number of patients treated, the findings are considered clinically meaningful by physician investigators involved in the study and support continued development.
Previous report
Delirium is characterized as a serious alteration in mental state which may present with confusion, poor attention or lack of awareness. Additionally, delirium is the most common presentation of neurologic dysfunction in critically ill patients and affects between 30-75% of patients admitted to the ICU. Development of delirium is associated with several poor outcomes including increased length of hospital stays, long-term cognitive deficits, additional hospital costs, impaired quality of life and mortality. Despite the prevalence and impact of delirium, there are currently no FDA-approved therapeutics for the prevention or treatment of delirium, highlighting an unmet medical need for these patients.
Previous report
Additionally, CET has entered into a Development Agreement with Octapharma AG ("Octapharma") for a new product designed to locate sites of internal bleeding. In exchange for an option to worldwide rights to the technology, Octapharma will provide development funding. With the option exercise, Octapharma will also provide milestone payments and royalties on product sales.
Previous report
Most clinically significant internal bleeding occurs in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, especially the lower tract. Intestinal hemorrhage ranks among conditions having the highest number of all-cause readmissions and among the most common causes of nonmalignant mortality.
Previous report
Current treatment for GI hemorrhage begins with identifying the bleeding site through diagnostic testing. Colonoscopy is the recommended first-line diagnostic procedure, while computed tomographic angiography is advised for a subset of high-risk patients who are unlikely to tolerate bowel preparation. Both angiography and tagged red blood cell scintigraphy – older, less commonly used tests – require a minimum rate of active bleeding for accurate results. Diagnosis using colonoscopy is also more challenging without active bleeding or when excessive bleeding obscures the visual field.
Previous report
The new technology represents a paradigm shift as it identifies the naturally formed clot at the injured vessels, allowing for the potential to pinpoint GI bleeding sites even if bleeding has ceased temporarily.
Previous report
The product is designed as a proprietary radiochemical preparatory kit for generating a medical imaging agent for injection. It has been developed through a collaboration between CET, researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Cold Springs Diagnostics, Inc. The development has been supported by an NIH grant awarded to CET under the STTR program.
