Business focus and core activities

ALK describes itself as a global specialty pharmaceutical company focused on allergy and allergic asthma. Its activities span:

• Allergy immunotherapy treatments for respiratory allergies, including house dust mite allergy.
• Diagnostic and testing products that support allergy evaluation and diagnosis.
• Other products and services aimed at people with allergies and the healthcare professionals who treat them.

The company highlights a long-standing focus on respiratory allergies and a history in allergy immunotherapy. ALK states that it develops and markets evidence-based medications and diagnostic tools intended to address underlying allergic conditions rather than only short-term symptom relief.

Key products and therapeutic areas

Based on recent company announcements, several named products and product lines are central to ALK’s activities:

• ODACTRA: ALK describes ODACTRA as a house dust mite (HDM) allergen tablet used as sublingual immunotherapy. It is indicated for the treatment of HDM-induced allergic rhinitis, with or without conjunctivitis, in eligible patients confirmed by appropriate allergy testing. ODACTRA is a prescription allergy immunotherapy that dissolves under the tongue and is not indicated for immediate symptom relief.
• AccuTest allergy skin testing devices: ALK has announced a line of AccuTest-branded allergy skin testing devices and allergen well trays. The line includes the AccuTest-1 single prick device and the AccuTest-8 and AccuTest-10 multi-head devices, along with 48‑well and 60‑well trays. These devices are designed for allergy skin testing and diagnosis and are intended for use by or under the order of licensed healthcare professionals.
• PRE-PEN: ALK reports that it has acquired the business assets of AllerQuest related to PRE-PEN (benzylpenicilloyl polylysine injection USP), which it describes as the only FDA‑approved diagnostic skin test for the evaluation of penicillin allergy. Following this transaction, ALK states that it is the sole manufacturer and distributor of PRE-PEN in the U.S. and Canada, with global ownership rights to all AllerQuest assets.
• OTIPRIO: ALK has also acquired OTIPRIO (ciprofloxacin otic suspension) from Otonomy, Inc. OTIPRIO is described as a prescription fluoroquinolone antibacterial approved to treat pediatric patients with bilateral otitis media with effusion undergoing tympanostomy tube placement, and to treat acute otitis externa (swimmer’s ear) in patients 6 months of age and older due to specified bacteria.

Through these products, ALK participates in areas that include respiratory allergy immunotherapy, allergy diagnosis and testing, penicillin allergy evaluation, and ear, nose and throat–related conditions.

Allergy immunotherapy and diagnostic focus

ALK emphasizes that allergy immunotherapy (AIT) treats the underlying cause of environmental allergies by introducing small amounts of allergens so the immune system can gradually tolerate them better. The company highlights sublingual immunotherapy tablets (SLIT‑tablets), such as ODACTRA, which are prescription medications that dissolve under the tongue and are taken once daily at home after the first dose is administered in a doctor’s office. ALK presents SLIT‑tablets as an alternative for eligible patients who prefer not to receive allergy treatments via subcutaneous injection.

On the diagnostic side, ALK’s communications describe the importance of accurate allergy testing as a first step toward effective diagnosis and treatment. Its AccuTest devices are presented as tools designed to improve the consistency and reliability of skin prick testing, while PRE-PEN is positioned for assessment of sensitization to penicillin in patients suspected to have clinical penicillin hypersensitivity.

Geographic footprint and listing

ALK states that it is headquartered in Hørsholm, Denmark, and that it is listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen. Company releases describe operations and announcements in locations such as Bedminster, New Jersey, and Round Rock, Texas, reflecting activity in the North American market.
