Indivior - INDV STOCK NEWS

Indivior (NASDAQ/LSE: INDV) announced FDA approval of significant label changes for SUBLOCADE®, their treatment for moderate to severe opioid use disorder (OUD). The key updates include a rapid initiation protocol that reduces treatment initiation time from one week to one hour, and new alternative injection sites including abdomen, thigh, buttock, and back of upper arm.

The rapid initiation protocol allows healthcare providers to start SUBLOCADE treatment after a single dose of transmucosal buprenorphine and a one-hour observation period. A non-inferiority study with 729 participants demonstrated the effectiveness of rapid initiation, with 66.4% of patients in the rapid induction arm receiving a second injection compared to 54.5% in the standard induction arm. Of the study participants, 77.5% were fentanyl-positive at induction.

These changes aim to reduce treatment obstacles and improve patient adherence while maintaining SUBLOCADE's established safety profile and efficacy.

Indivior PLC (Nasdaq/LSE: INDV) announced that the FDA has delayed the final review of proposed label changes for SUBLOCADE® (buprenorphine extended-release) Injection. The PDUFA action date was originally scheduled for February 7, 2025. On February 11, 2025, the FDA informed Indivior that while there were no outstanding items to address following acceptance of the proposed label, the final review has been delayed. The proposed changes include rapid initiation protocol and alternative injection sites. The company will provide updates on the approval status as appropriate.

Indivior PLC presented significant findings at CSAM 2024 showing that rapid initiation (RI) with once-monthly SUBLOCADE improves treatment retention for opioid use disorder (OUD) patients compared to standard initiation (SI). The study of 729 participants demonstrated a 12% overall improvement in retention rates, with a 15% increase among fentanyl-positive patients.

The RI protocol involves administering SUBLOCADE within one hour of a single transmucosal buprenorphine dose, followed by a second injection after one week, versus the standard 28-day interval. The FDA has granted Priority Review for label expansion to include rapid initiation and alternative injection sites (thigh, upper arm, and buttocks), with a PDUFA date of February 7, 2025.

Indivior PLC (NASDAQ/LSE: INDV) has acknowledged a letter published by Oaktree Capital Management to its Board of Directors. The Board confirms it has been actively engaging with Oaktree in recent weeks and maintains an open-minded stance regarding proposals for value creation. Indivior, a global pharmaceutical company focused on substance use disorders (SUD) treatment, emphasizes its commitment to acting in the best interests of all shareholders while executing its strategy. The company operates in over 30 countries and employs more than 1,000 people globally.

Indivior PLC (Nasdaq/LSE: INDV) highlights key findings demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of SUBLOCADE in treating opioid use disorder (OUD). A post-hoc analysis showed that SUBLOCADE 300 mg maintenance dose significantly increased opioid abstinence in injecting participants compared to 100 mg dose. The CoLAB Study demonstrated 96-week treatment maintenance with improvements in abstinence, depression, and quality of life. Research identified telemedicine as a common solution during COVID-19 for overcoming access barriers, though challenges persist. Multiple real-world evidence presentations addressed various aspects of OUD treatment, including ER visits, healthcare utilization, and treatment outcomes. Only 18% of the nearly 6 million people with OUD received MOUD treatment in 2023.

Indivior PLC (Nasdaq/LSE: INDV) has provided an update on Aelis Farma's clinical Phase 2B trial results for AEF0117, a potential treatment for Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD). The study, which evaluated the efficacy and safety in treatment-seeking participants with moderate to severe CUD, failed to meet its primary and secondary endpoints. The primary goal was to reduce cannabis use to ≤1 day per week, while secondary endpoints included complete abstinence or use ≤2 days per week.

Despite the disappointing results, the study highlights the need for further research into CUD subpopulations, particularly those with severe cases. As a result of these outcomes, Indivior does not currently plan to exercise its option to license the global rights to AEF0117, which was part of a strategic collaboration with Aelis Farma.
