Welcome to our dedicated page for Eton Pharmaceuticals news (Ticker: ETON), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Eton Pharmaceuticals stock.
Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ETON) is a Deer Park, Illinois-based specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative pharmaceutical products, particularly those aimed at treating rare diseases. The company's mission is to advance healthcare by introducing affordable and accessible medicines to patients in need.
Eton utilizes the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway to develop its products. Currently, Eton has four commercial rare disease products: ALKINDI SPRINKLE® for pediatric adrenocortical insufficiency, Carglumic Acid for hyperammonemia, Betaine Anhydrous for homocystinuria, and Nitisinone for hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1). The recent addition of Nitisinone further advances Eton's goal of having ten commercial rare disease products by the end of 2025.
Beyond these, Eton has several promising candidates in late-stage development. These include ET-400, a liquid formulation of hydrocortisone for adrenocortical insufficiency, the ZENEO® hydrocortisone autoinjector for adrenal crisis, and ET-600 for diabetes insipidus. Eton's ET-400 product recently received a new U.S. patent with an expiration date in 2043, and it is expected to significantly complement the existing ALKINDI SPRINKLE product.
Financial Performance and Recent Achievements
- The company has reported eleven consecutive quarters of growth in product sales and royalty revenue, achieving cash flow break-even ahead of schedule.
- Third quarter 2023 net revenue reached $7.0 million, marking a 118% increase from the prior year period.
- Gross profit for the same quarter more than doubled year-over-year, underscoring the company's strong commercial execution.
Eton's strategic acquisitions further bolster its portfolio. The recent acquisition of U.S. rights to PKU GOLIKE® from Relief Therapeutics positions the company to address the needs of patients with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare metabolic disorder. Eton also aims to leverage its strong relationships within the metabolic community to drive adoption and market penetration for both existing and new products.
Patient Support and Community Initiatives
Eton is committed to supporting patients and their families through initiatives like the Eton Cares program, which provides comprehensive support services including prescription fulfillment, insurance benefits investigation, educational support, and financial assistance for qualified patients. The program aims to make treatments like Nitisinone more accessible to those who need them the most.
Looking Ahead
With a robust pipeline, strategic acquisitions, and a strong financial footing, Eton Pharmaceuticals is well-positioned for continued growth and success. The company's focus on rare diseases and commitment to patient care make it a valuable player in the pharmaceutical industry.

Eton Pharmaceuticals (ETON) has been granted U.S. Patent No. 12,214,010 for ET-600, its proprietary formulation of desmopressin oral solution, providing patent protection through 2044. The patent is expected to be listed in the FDA Orange Book upon product approval.
ET-600 is being developed for diabetes insipidus treatment, particularly addressing the unmet pediatric need for precise, titratable liquid doses. Currently, desmopressin is only FDA-approved in injectable, tablet, and nasal forms, forcing pediatric patients to rely on compounding pharmacies or attempt fractional tablet dosing.
The product successfully completed a pilot bioequivalence study in 2024 and is currently in pivotal bioequivalence testing, with results expected by end of February. If successful, Eton plans to submit a New Drug Application to the FDA by Q2 2025.
Eton Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ETON) announced that the FDA has extended the PDUFA goal date for its New Drug Application (NDA) for ET-400 to May 28, 2025, from the original date of February 28, 2025. The three-month extension was implemented to allow the FDA additional time to review supplemental information provided in December in response to their request.
The company states it has fully addressed all FDA questions with no outstanding requests. CEO Sean Brynjelsen expressed confidence in the NDA package and indicated that this standard extension is not expected to significantly impact their 2025 revenue projections. The drug is intended as a therapy for pediatric rare diseases.
Eton Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ETON) has announced the acquisition of Galzin® (zinc acetate), an FDA-approved maintenance treatment for Wilson Disease. The drug serves an ultra-rare patient population with less than 5,000 patients currently being treated in the United States.
The company plans to begin commercialization in the U.S. during Q1 2025 through its metabolic sales force. Patients will have access to the Eton Cares support program, offering $0 co-pay for qualified commercial patients, prescription fulfillment, insurance benefits investigation, and educational support.
The acquisition also includes European rights to the product, where it's marketed as Wilzin® through a third-party distributor. Eton will continue supplying the product while the third party manages European commercialization. Stifel acted as exclusive financial advisor for the transaction.
Eton Pharmaceuticals has completed its acquisition of Increlex® (mecasermin injection) from Ipsen S.A. Increlex® is a biologic treatment for pediatric patients aged 2+ with severe primary insulin-like growth factor 1 deficiency (SPIGFD). The product is approved in 41 territories, including the US and EU, and is the only FDA/EMA-approved treatment for SPIGFD, serving approximately 200 US patients and 900-1,000 European patients.
The medication is now available in the US through AnovoRx, a specialty pharmacy for rare conditions. The Eton Cares Program offers prescription fulfillment, insurance benefits investigation, and financial assistance, including $0 co-pays for qualifying patients. Outside the US, Ipsen will continue distribution during a six-month transition period before Eton takes over commercialization.
Eton Pharmaceuticals (ETON) announced compelling results from a clinical trial evaluating PKU GOLIKE for treating phenylketonuria (PKU) during prolonged fasting periods. The randomized, crossover study demonstrated that PKU GOLIKE, when administered as the last daily dose, significantly improved metabolic control compared to standard amino acid protein substitutes.
Key findings showed PKU GOLIKE achieved a 17.8% reduction in blood phenylalanine (Phe) levels and a 33.8% increase in blood tyrosine (Tyr) levels after overnight fasting. In contrast, standard treatments led to a 27.6% increase in Phe levels with no significant Tyr improvement. The study was conducted at Birmingham Children's Hospital, UK, on pediatric patients with classical PKU.

Eton Pharmaceuticals has acquired U.S. rights to Amglidia (glyburide oral suspension) from AMMTeK for treating neonatal diabetes mellitus. The product, already approved by the European Medicines Agency since 2018, has received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA. Amglidia is a patented liquid formulation targeting approximately 300 U.S. patients with neonatal diabetes mellitus, for which no FDA-approved oral treatments currently exist. The company plans to meet with FDA in Q1 2025 and aims to submit a New Drug Application in 2026, supported by five years of real-world safety and efficacy data from European patients.
Eton Pharmaceuticals reported strong Q3 2024 financial results with total revenue of $10.3 million and GAAP Net Income of $0.6 million ($0.02 per share).
