Fredrik Tiberg, President and CEO:
"Camurus ended 2024 with a very solid fourth quarter, growing 48 percent year on year, driven by increasing Buvidal® sales and royalty revenues from Brixadi® in the US. Due to strong financial performance, results for the quarter and full year exceeded previous estimates. In the development pipeline, a Complete Response Letter (CRL) was issued by the FDA for the CAM2029 New Drug Application for acromegaly in the US, solely related to observations during a cGMP inspection at a third-party manufacturer. The Marketing Authorization Application for CAM2029 in the EU progressed according to plan during the quarter, alongside pivotal clinical studies of CAM2029 in neuroendocrine tumors and polycystic liver disease. In the early pipeline, a clinical study of our monthly semaglutide depot (CAM2056) was initiated in participants with overweight or obesity."
