ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2022 / Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRB)(NASDAQ:NTRBW) today announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) for its patent application, CA 2937649, entitled 'Abuse and Misuse Deterrent Transdermal Systems,' that protects its AVERSA™ transdermal abuse deterrent technology. The issuance of this Canadian patent in combination with patents already issued in the United States and Mexico provides intellectual property protection for Nutriband's Aversa™ products across North America.
Nutriband's AVERSA™ abuse deterrent technology can be utilized to incorporate aversive agents into transdermal patches to prevent the abuse, diversion, misuse and accidental exposure of drugs with abuse potential such as opioids used to treat moderate to severe chronic pain, while making sure that these drugs remain accessible to those patients who really need them. The technology is covered by a broad intellectual property portfolio with patents already granted in the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, Mexico, and Australia.
Nutriband's lead product under development is AVERSA™ Fentanyl, which has the potential to be the world's first fentanyl transdermal system with abuse deterrent properties. AVERSA™ Fentanyl is being developed as a combination of Nutriband's proprietary AVERSA™ technology and an FDA-approved transdermal fentanyl patch. AVERSA™ Fentanyl was recently estimated to have the potential to reach peak annual US sales of $80M - $200M.1 In addition, the company has a product development pipeline that includes AVERSA buprenorphine and AVERSA methylphenidate which have the potential to be the first abuse deterrent versions of those transdermal drugs.
