Assertio ACTH

This is from the Assertio website about synacthen: Our initial focus is the development of Cosyntropin (synthetic ACTH depot), a unique, late-stage product that, upon approval, will provide U.S. patients, physicians and payers with an alternative option.

The site also states that it is in phase 3.

Any intel on this?
 






This will fail. It’s more like a steroid instead of the unique ingredients of Acthar. No need to worry they now have to do phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trials which will take forever. We are fine.

The post said they are in phase 3. I checked their website and it says phase 3. It's a different drug than Acthar and it isn't a bio so I can't be a similar. They may be under an SPA with the FDA for a boiler plate label like Acthar. If so, lights out.
 












DEPOMED again. HAHAHAHAA!!!! Tell them to pony up $1B for trials.

In the third quarter, the Company completed its reincorporation from California to Delaware and changed its name from “Depomed, Inc.” to “Assertio Therapeutics, Inc.” In connection with the reincorporation and name change, the Company’s common stock began trading under a new ticker symbol “ASRT” and a new CUSIP number, 04545L 107, on August 15, 2018.
 






So this analyst Mickey Ingerman asked about enrollment for infantile spasm study and the CEO Arthur don't even know the number and he had to get back to Mickey later. WTF! HAHAHAA!

FDA will kick Depomed out as soon as they filed 505b2.
That's a desperation move right there.
Stick the fork into this Depomed.

==========================

Mickey Ingerman
This is Mickey Ingerman on for David. Can you guys provide any updates regarding the pace of enrollment in the infantile spasm studies? And then given that all these several years before it is available, could you provide your thinking around exploring other therapeutic indications ahead of the infantile spasms?

Arthur Higgins

So, the infantile spasms trial, I don't have the exact number, I know we're in the double digits, so let me try to get back to you on exact number. And then with regard to therapeutic indications, we're obviously still pursuing those in addition to the diagnostic indications. And in addition to DIS therapeutic work, we're still evaluating opportunities for possibly exploring other ways to get a therapeutic indication with the product.

Mickey Ingerman
And then to the extent, if cosyntropin is approved in the near future for the diagnostic indication, can you speak to the extent of which you think the product will be off label in therapeutic settings?

Arthur Higgins
Again, if you look at comment on the label use, I think what we try to articulate is that our workshops with physicians and payers see that, they understand that possible - available for a diagnostic and we would certainly have a consider using it for therapeutic indications.

“UNIQUE INGREDIENTS OF ACTHAR” - nothing unique about pig hormone. Just eat bacon! The only thing “unique” about it is that ingredients are not disclosed. Say.......you take it since you and acthar are so “unique”! What a dog face you are! Dummy.
 






You are stupid. Ani and depomed going BK.

Remember this fool. They just filed an NDA. The payers will allow and pay for it to be used off label. The price of Acthar will have to match it or Acthar will die a sudden death. The commercial organization will be brought down to bare bones, the debt load from Acthar won't be able to be paid, the company will file for bankruptcy and be liquidated.

Not true . They will have to do phase 1. 2 and 3 clinical trials and we don’t have to at all. Acthar isn’t going any where.
 


















Dear Mr. Higgins,
Your 3 pillar approach has crumbled. Day traders are shorting your stock into the ground. Please state to stakeholders any viable reason why anyone should or would invest in this dying company. No comment, I thought so!
 






Interesting that some folks on this thread are spending more time trying to attack a smaller company's plans for growth when their own has been a larger spectacular failure...pot calling the kettle black...guess they are projecting their own fear that Assertio may actually be successful using their old product they sat on for years !
 












can the company survive without Acthar sales? Looks like Acthar won’t be around much longer.
It depends on debt service. Instead of paying down debt, the fools bought products that failed. The price of Acthar has been raised to cover declining sales to pay debt. With a new ACTH, not only will sales volume decline, but the price will be forced down.
When the company splits in two the debt holders will decide how much debt goes to each company. Very likely the company that gets Acthar will end up as a structured bankruptcy. The Achtar asset will probably be sold to another company for a fraction of what MNK purchased it for. Acthar won't go away, it just won't be as expensive as it is now. The Assertio NDA may take a year for approval, so there is time for strategic planning. The issue is the company doesn't really do strategic planning well.
