Nutriband Stock Price, News & Analysis

Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRB) has signed a trademark licensing agreement for Bitrex® brand denatonium benzoate, the world's most bitter substance, as an aversive agent in its lead product, AVERSA™ Fentanyl. This abuse-deterrent fentanyl patch incorporates Nutriband's proprietary technology to prevent abuse, diversion, misuse, and accidental exposure of drugs with abuse potential.

The AVERSA™ technology uses a taste aversion coating that is difficult to remove and has a patented immediate and extended-release profile. This additional layer of deterrence prevents easy separation of the drug from the aversive agents. Bitrex® is known for its extremely bitter taste, making products unpalatable and helping prevent accidental ingestion, especially in children.

Nutriband is collaborating with Kindeva Drug Delivery to develop the commercial scale manufacturing process. AVERSA Fentanyl has the potential to be the world's first abuse-deterrent opioid patch, with estimated peak annual US sales of $80 million to $200 million.
