Insights

The Hong Kong patent grant significantly strengthens Nutriband's intellectual property portfolio for AVERSA™, now protected in 46 countries. This extensive IP coverage is important for potential peak annual US sales of $80-200 million for AVERSA Fentanyl. The technology's dual-layer deterrence system - taste aversion coating and patented release profile - creates substantial barriers to abuse while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. The partnership with Kindeva Drug Delivery, leveraging their FDA-approved fentanyl patch system, reduces development risk and accelerates commercialization potential. This positions NTRB uniquely in the $3.5 billion global transdermal drug delivery market, particularly in addressing the opioid crisis through abuse-deterrent formulations.

The Hong Kong market access adds strategic value beyond its immediate commercial potential. As a gateway to Asia's pharmaceutical market, this patent strengthens NTRB's position for potential licensing deals or partnerships in the region. The abuse-deterrent transdermal technology addresses a critical market need, especially given the global opioid crisis. With no current abuse-deterrent opioid patches available, AVERSA Fentanyl could capture significant market share. The comprehensive patent protection across major markets significantly enhances licensing potential and future revenue streams through partnerships or royalties.

AVERSA Fentanyl has the potential to be the world's first and only abuse-deterrent opioid patch

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRB)(NASDAQ:NTRBW), a company engaged in the development of prescription transdermal pharmaceutical products, today announced that it has received a Notice of Publication of the Registration and Grant of a Standard Patent (R) from the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Department for patent application entitled, “Abuse and Misuse Deterrent Transdermal Systems,” which protects its AVERSA™ abuse deterrent transdermal technology.

The Hong Kong Patents Registrar has assigned Publication Number 40085268 B to the patent with a publication date of December 20, 2024. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China which affords it a high degree of autonomy with its own patent system and patent laws which are separate and distinct from those of mainland China.

The Aversa™ abuse deterrent technology is now covered by a broad international intellectual property portfolio with patents issued in 46 countries including the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, China, Canada, Mexico, and Australia.

Nutriband’s AVERSA™ abuse-deterrent technology incorporates aversive agents into transdermal patches to prevent the abuse, diversion, misuse, and accidental exposure of drugs with abuse potential including opioids and stimulants. The AVERSA™ abuse-deterrent technology has the potential to improve the safety profile of transdermal drugs susceptible to abuse while making sure that these drugs remain accessible to those patients who really need them.

Nutriband abuse-deterrent transdermal technology consists of a proprietary aversive agent coating that employs taste aversion to deter the oral abuse of and accidental exposure to transdermal opioid and stimulant patch products. Preliminary studies have shown that the coating is very difficult to scrape off and the technology has a patented immediate and extended-release profile which presents an additional layer of deterrence to prevent the aversive layer from easily being washed off in an attempt to separate the drug from the aversive agents.

Nutriband is currently working with its partner Kindeva Drug Delivery, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization focused on drug-device combination products, to develop its lead product, AVERSA™ Fentanyl, which incorporates Nutriband’s AVERSA™ abuse-deterrent transdermal technology into Kindeva’s FDA-approved transdermal fentanyl patch system.

AVERSA Fentanyl has the potential to be the world’s first abuse-deterrent opioid patch designed to deter the abuse and misuse and reduce the risk of accidental exposure of transdermal fentanyl patches. AVERSA Fentanyl has the potential to reach peak annual US sales of $80 million to $200 million.1
