Insights

Biopharma strategy analyst

Pipeline-focused update with Anaphylm timelines and cash runway detail.

Aquestive Therapeutics uses this presentation to frame itself as a late‑stage, specialty pharma company built around oral film and AdrenaVerse technologies. The core asset is Anaphylm, a needle‑free sublingual epinephrine film for anaphylaxis, now regrouping after an FDA Complete Response Letter on January 30, 2026.

The company plans a Type A FDA meeting in Q1 2026, human‑factors and pharmacokinetic studies in 2026, an NDA resubmission in Q3 2026, and potential ex‑U.S. filings, positioning for one U.S. commercial launch in 2027 if approved. Additional growth is expected from Libervant and AQST‑108 for alopecia areata, with stated potential peak annual net sales over $1.5 billion from pipeline assets.

Financially, Aquestive reports finishing 2025 with $121 in cash and cash equivalents, describing itself as well‑capitalized to conduct the clinical and regulatory work requested by the FDA and to end 2026 with significant cash. Actual outcomes will depend on FDA feedback, successful execution of the outlined studies, and market uptake if the products reach commercialization.
