About

Acasti is a late-stage specialty pharma company with drug delivery capability and technologies addressing rare and orphan diseases. The Company’s novel drug delivery technologies have the potential to improve the performance of currently marketed drugs by achieving faster onset of action, enhanced efficacy, reduced side effects, and more convenient drug delivery – all which could help to increase treatment compliance and improve patient outcomes. The Company is focused on well-understood diseases that are poorly served by available therapies or have no approved therapies. Acasti is initially targeting three underserved orphan diseases - Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T), and Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN) – all with sizable patient populations and significant market opportunity. The Company’s three lead clinical assets have all been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA providing seven years of marketing exclusivity post-launch in the United States and are protected by over 40 granted and pending patents.
