Welcome to Alitair Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Alitair is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing prescription cough medicines, Orphan Drugs for bronchiectasis as well as leveraging our proprietary ion-exchange resin formulations.
Our portfolio of respiratory products and our proprietary formulation technology address unmet medical needs. Our portfolio consists of patent protected, late-stage, well-characterized small molecules with clear regulatory paths to approval. We will utilize both the FDA 505(b)(2) and Orphan Drug pathways to reduce development costs, shorten approval timelines, and optimize the chances of FDA approval.
Our prescription cough and bronchiectasis pipeline products will compete in large established markets that together exceed $5 billion in potential. Our lead prescription cough product, ALT-02 (benzonatate tablets), is formulated into a twice-a-day tablet that could provide safety, convenience, and compliance benefits to patients. And, it is a non-narcotic option for physicians and patients who do not want to prescribe or take narcotic cough medicines such as codeine syrups.
Our lead bronchiectasis product, ALT-09 (erdosteine capsules), could be the first prescription mucolytic medicine indicated for bronchiectasis in the USA. ALT-09 has an IND and is Phase II ready.
Alitair holds five key US patents that support our portfolio.
Our most recent patent covers our Overdose Reduction (ODR™) technology. This patent supports a formulation platform that provides both Abuse Deterrence and Overdose Reduction benefits. This is a unique value proposition that provides Alitair with a major opportunity for out-licensing to biopharmaceutical companies with branded products or generic products in areas such as benzodiazepine, anti-anxiolytic, anti-depressive and opioid categories. This are all categories with significant levels of misuse and abuse.
We are committed to "Helping the World Breathe Easier™" -- either directly through our respiratory product portfolio, or through the additional peace of mind provided by ODR™.
