Expanding the business
"I am pleased to report that the fourth quarter of 2021 saw a continued strong profit contribution from ZUBSOLV® and sales nearly in line with Q3. The financial contribution from ZUBSOLV® is important to maintain pace and enable us to continue building on the highlights of the quarter. During Q4 we showed a positive outcome for the OX124 pivotal trial, we informed about our new drug delivery platform amorphOX™, and expanded our pipeline with a new pharmaceutical project OX640 (nasal epinephrine). Additionally, we initiated the launch of MODIA™ and after the end of the period, our partnership with Sober Grid reached a significant milestone establishing an agreement with Walgreens to make our collaborative services available on their Find Care® digital market place during the first quarter."
