Biofrontera Inc. (Nasdaq: BFRI) is a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the commercialization of innovative dermatological products. Specializing in the treatment of skin conditions such as actinic keratoses and impetigo, Biofrontera focuses on photodynamic therapy (PDT) and topical antibiotics.
One of the company's flagship products is Ameluz®, a prescription drug used in combination with the BF-RhodoLED® lamp series for PDT. Ameluz is approved for the treatment of actinic keratoses, pre-cancerous skin lesions that can develop into skin cancer if left untreated. Another key product in their portfolio is Xepi®, an antibiotic for treating impetigo, a bacterial skin infection.
In recent news, Biofrontera announced record high revenues for 2023, achieving approximately $34.3 million, up 19% compared to 2022. This growth was driven by increased sales of Ameluz and a stronger financial condition, supported by strategic partnerships and clinical trials. The company also reported a successful securities purchase agreement that raised up to $16 million, aimed at advancing product development and expanding indications for Ameluz.
Biofrontera's forward-looking strategy includes reducing the transfer price of Ameluz from 50% to 25% for 2024 and 2025, taking control of U.S. clinical trials, and making significant strides in regulatory approvals with the FDA. For instance, the FDA has commenced a substantive review of a supplementary New Drug Application to increase the approved dosage of Ameluz, indicating the potential for broader usage.
These developments underscore Biofrontera's commitment to enhancing patient care through advanced dermatological therapies and maintaining a robust growth trajectory in the competitive biopharmaceutical landscape.
