About Xtampza ER
Collegium’s lead product candidate, Xtampza™ ER, is an abuse-deterrent, extended-release, oral formulation of oxycodone in development for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate. The active ingredient in Xtampza is oxycodone, which is approved by the FDA and other regulators around the world in a number of both immediate-release and extended-release drug products. Collegium developed Xtampza using its proprietary DETERx® abuse-deterrent technology to
address common methods of abuse, including chewing, crushing and/or dissolving, and then taking it orally or snorting or injecting.
