During February 2015, the Company announced that is has completed the manufacture of an oral formulation of ifetroban and the FDA has cleared an IND amendment for this product candidate. Cumberland has initiated clinical development under the brand name Boxaban (ifetroban) capsules and is evaluating this candidate for patients suffering from aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) a condition for which there is no U.S. approved pharmaceutical treatment. Also known as Samter’s Triad, AERD is a respiratory disease involving chronic asthma and nasal polyposis that is worsened by aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Approximately one in twenty asthmatic adults in the U.S. suffer from AERD and awareness of the disease is growing within the medical community.
