2025 full-year results

  • Revenue: €786.4 million, down 3.5% at CER1 and like-for-like2, mainly due to the fall in activity in France
  • Profitability: restated EBITDA margin3 of 12.0% (at the high end of the adjusted range communicated in December)
  • Net Income: loss of €112.7 million, which includes a non-recurring impairment of €86 million
  • Free cash flow: in positive territory at €19.2 million
  • Indebtedness: net debt/EBITDA ratio of 4.0x, below the ceiling of 4.8x set in December 2025 under the waiver obtained by the Group from its lenders.

2026

  • Significant negative impact expected from the situation in Raleigh on revenue, profitability, cash generation and group indebtedness with a probable risk of covenant breach on June 30, 2026
  • No dividend distribution in respect of the 2025 fiscal year
  • Continuation of the transformation plan and strategic focus on sustainably improving the Group’s sales momentum and competitiveness

Villepinte, March 11, 2026, 5.45 p.m.: Guerbet (FR0000032526 GBT), a global specialist in contrast agents and solutions for medical imaging, is publishing its consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2025.

Full-year revenue came to €786.4 million, down 6.5%. After excluding the currency effect (-€22.8 million), mainly due to the depreciation of the US dollar, the Brazilian real and the South Korean won, this decline narrows to 3.8% at constant exchange rates (CER)1. At CER and on a like-for-like basis2, Guerbet’s revenue fell by 3.5% in 2025.

This decline is mainly due to two factors: the contraction in activity in France, without which sales would have been stable in 2025, and the loss of revenue in the fourth quarter linked to the situation at the Raleigh site (North Carolina).

In EMEA, full-year sales were down 2.5% at CER and on a like-for-like basis. However, after stripping out France, the region posted growth of 7.6% for the year. In France, the completion of the adaptation of manufacturing processes in line with the switch in the mix to comply with supply chain reform (from single dose to large vials) led to a return to growth in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In the Americas, full-year revenue was down 3.8% at CER and like-for-like. This decline, concentrated in the fourth quarter of 2025, was due to the delay in the release of batches produced at the Raleigh site because of the work being carried out under the compliance plan following the recommendations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In Asia, revenue for the year was down 4.8% at CER and like-for-like, due in particular to the loss of a major call for tenders in Vietnam.

By business, full-year revenue in Diagnostic Imaging was down 5.3% at CER and like-for-like, due to:

  • In the IRM division (-1.9%), an increase in the Dotarem® / EluciremTM franchise over the first nine months, followed by a decrease in the fourth quarter linked to the situation at the Raleigh site.
  • In the X-ray division (-7.2%), the decrease in volumes for Xenetix® and Optiray®, mainly in France.

In Interventional Radiology, revenue rose by 9.7% at CER and like-for-like in 2025, still driven by solid momentum in volumes and prices for Lipiodol®, particularly in vascular embolization.

Operating income/(expense) 49.6 (88.2)
Net income/(loss) 13.5 (112.7)
Net debt 344.9 325.7

Net income includes a significant non-recurring impairment, with no impact on cash

In 2025, the Group generated an EBITDA margin rate representing 10.5% of revenue. Excluding non-recurring costs related to the optimization of the operating plan and the change in the sales model which totaled -€12.2 million (vs. -€6.0 million in 2024), the restated margin rate was 12.0%, at the high end of the adjusted range communicated on December 2 (between 10.5% and 12%), compared with 14.9% in 2024.

The fall in profitability is due to the decline in activity and pressure on prices, particularly in the United States where margins were penalized by the unfavorable increase in the weight of distributors in the customer mix. At the same time, the Group maintained good cost discipline, with a decrease in personnel expenses (-7.2%) and external expenses (-6.5%).

The Group made an operating loss for the year of -€88.2 million, after the recognition of €170.4 million in depreciation, amortization and provisions. This includes in particular a non-recurring impairment of €86 million recorded in relation to the current situation at the Raleigh site following the impairment tests carried out during the year, as well as a provision of €10 million relating to the future destruction of certain inventories at the Raleigh site. These two accounting items have no impact on the Group’s cash generation.

After taking into account lower financial expenses (-12.8%) of €19.4 million, and foreign exchange losses (€2.0 million) and tax (€3.1 million), the Group made a net loss of -€112.7 million, compared with a profit of €13.5 million in 2024. On the balance sheet, shareholders’ equity stood at €267 million at December 31, 2025, compared with €394 million a year earlier.

Free cash flow and Indebtedness

Free cash flow (FCF) was positive for the year at €19.2 million (versus -€9.1 million in 2024), driven by a significant improvement in working capital requirements (WCR), thanks in particular to the optimization of the average days sales outstanding (DSO).

Net debt came to €325.7 million (vs. €344.9 million in 2024), i.e. financial leverage4 (net debt/EBITDA) of 4.0x (compared with 2.9x in 2024), below the ceiling of 4.8x set in December 2025 under the waiver obtained by the Group for its covenant from its lenders.

In order to support Guerbet Group’s long-term development, the Board of Directors will propose at the General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 22, 2026 that no dividends be distributed to shareholders in respect of the 2025 fiscal year.

Update on the Raleigh site and significant negative impact expected in 2026 on revenue, profitability, cash generation and group indebtedness

At the Raleigh industrial site, the remediation plan initiated in the fourth quarter of 2025 is continuing with a new management team in place and the support of external experts. The corrective actions undertaken, including the modernization of equipment and processes, aim to respond as quickly as possible to the FDA’s requests, and thus allow a return to a normative release rate for batches produced at the plant. The batch release rate has increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and will continue to increase throughout the 2026 fiscal year.

The Raleigh site plans to be ready for a new FDA inspection by the end of fiscal 2026.

It expects to return to a normative release rate by the end of 2026, allowing Guerbet to operate under normal conditions in full-year 2027.

The Group anticipates a significant negative financial impact in 2026 from the situation in Raleigh:

  • On activity mainly in North America and Latin America;
  • On profitability, due to expenses related to the compliance plan, the increase in unit costs caused by a lower level of production, and inventory destruction costs;
  • On cash generation, with free cash flow expected to be negative for the year and net debt expected to increase.

Guerbet draws attention to the probable risk of non-compliance with the net financial debt to EBITDA ratio of x3.5 tested on June 30, 2026 under the terms of the €350 million syndicated credit agreement and the €50 million EuroPP bond issue agreement and €50 million Relance bond issue agreement. If this non-compliance materializes, it would give lenders the right, subject to certain majorities being reached, to declare their debt due and payable in advance from the second half of 2026.

The Board of Directors has approved the Group’s consolidated financial statements today in accordance with the going concern principle. The audit procedures on the consolidated financial statements have been carried out and the auditors’ report, which will mention a significant uncertainty related to the going concern assumption due to the probable risk of non-compliance with the debt ratio mentioned above, is currently being issued.

The going concern assumption is therefore based on the assumption that a waiver will be obtained from the lenders. If this assumption is not met, the going concern assumption used for the financial statements as of December 31, 2025 may not be appropriate.

Guerbet is confident in its ability to find a satisfactory solution within a timeframe that is compatible with its contractual commitments.

Pursuing its transformation plan and strategic priorities

Guerbet’s teams remain fully committed to implementing the transformation plan launched in autumn 2025, aimed at strengthening sales momentum and restoring long-term profitability. This plan is based on three strategic priorities:

  • Strengthen operational efficiency in Diagnostic Imaging by improving the competitiveness of the X-ray activity – in particular by streamlining the reference portfolio, promoting multi-dose (large) vials and optimizing industrial processes – while continuing to gain market share in MRI thanks to the Dotarem®/Elucirem™ franchise, with a ramp-up for the latter through geographical expansion and new indications.
  • Support the strong momentum in Interventional Radiology (average full-year growth of +16.1% since 2012) by capitalizing on the positioning of Lipiodol® as the reference treatment for HCC (liver cancer), the growth in its use for vascular embolization, and the potential of Lipiojoint in the management of osteoarthritis.
  • Improve productivity and cash generation by focusing on the twin aims of reducing fixed costs by implementing a plan to completely overhaul the support functions across the Group’s entire geographical scope, improving commercial and industrial efficiency and strengthening the financial structure through cash generation, based on rigorous management of working capital requirements (control of payment deadlines, optimization of inventories) and strict control of purchases. The full effect of this transformation plan is expected to be visible in fiscal 2027. The implementation of these measures in the French scope will be subject to consultation with the employee representative bodies for projects falling within their remit.

In this environment, the Group will communicate its 2026 targets at the latest when it presents its first-half revenue on July 23, 2026.

Io Therapeutics, Inc. announces publication of studies on the company’s RXR agonist compound IRX4204 for breast cancer prevention

SPRING, Texas, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Io Therapeutics, Inc. in Spring, Texas, announces collaborative publication of data from preclinical studies with scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrating effectiveness of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonist compound IRX4204 in models of prevention of estrogen receptor-negative and triple-negative breast cancers in three different genetically predisposed mouse models.

The research report titled: “Targeting the RXR Pathway for the Prevention of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer”, was led by MD Anderson researchers Cassandra L. Moyer, Ph.D., former postdoctoral fellow; Abhijit Mazumdar, Ph.D., associate professor of Clinical Cancer Prevention; and Powel H. Brown, M.D., Ph.D., professor Clinical Cancer Prevention. The study was published in the March 1, 2026, issue of Cancer Prevention Research.

The studies demonstrate that RXR agonism mediated by IRX4204 significantly delays the formation of mammary tumors in three estrogen receptor-negative mouse models: MMTV-ErbB2, C3(1)SV40-Tag, and Brca1-deficient, with minimal toxicities. In some cases, IRX4204 completely prevented mammary tumor formation. Biomarker analysis revealed that delayed tumors arising after IRX4204 treatment had decreased Ki-67 expression (a marker of how rapidly cancer cells are dividing) and increased immune infiltration of cytotoxic T cells. This supports that IRX4204 has direct inhibitory effects on breast cancer cell growth and promotes cancer cell killing by immune cells. Both mechanisms may be critical for IRX4204 prevention of triple-negative breast cancer. This preclinical data supports the further evaluation of use of IRX4204 for the prevention of estrogen receptor-negative and triple-negative breast cancers.

Dr. Mazumdar stated: “While prophylactic treatment with selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulators and aromatase inhibitors targeting the nuclear ER can prevent the formation of ER-positive tumors in women at high risk of breast cancer, these agents do not prevent ER-negative and triple-negative breast cancers. A substantial unmet need remains to prevent formation of ER-negative and triple negative breast cancers, which are often highly aggressive and associated with poorer survival. This study opens the door to the future research to evaluate the possibility of using RXR agonists, like IRX4204, to prevent these cancers.”

Martin E. Sanders, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Io Therapeutics stated “IRX4204 is a clinical stage compound which was invented by Vidyasagar, Ph.D., Chief Science Officer at Io Therapeutics. IRX4204 more potently and more selectively activates RXR than earlier generation RXR agonists. It has demonstrated an excellent safety profile in clinical trials in over 100 patients. IRX4204 has a safety profile that should allow it to be suitable as an agent for chronic treatment to effect prevention of triple negative breast cancers. This outcome would provide major benefit to millions of women now and in the future, who are at risk over the course of their lifetimes for the development of aggressive, poorly treatable estrogen receptor-negative or triple-negative breast cancers.”

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced the expansion of its digital pathology portfolio with new cloud-enabled capabilities designed to help healthcare organizations scale digital diagnostics, improve productivity, and advance their transformation to fully digital workflows.

Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution on HealthSuite¹, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a fully cloud-enabled digital pathology solution that helps pathology laboratories adopt and scale digital workflows without the complexity of on-premise infrastructure. The platform helps to securely store, manage, and enable analysis of large volumes of high-resolution pathology images while allowing pathologists to access, review, and collaborate on cases from virtually anywhere.2 By simplifying IT management and operations and supporting scalable data management and collaboration, the solution helps laboratories improve workflow efficiency and advance routine clinical use of digital pathology.

The cloud-enabled offering combines Philips’ leadership in digital pathology with AWS’ leading healthcare cloud infrastructure. In January 2026, Frost & Sullivan recognized Philips with the 2025 Global Enabling Technology Leadership Award in Digital Pathology, while AWS was named 2026 Best in KLAS for Public Cloud Infrastructure.

Advancing digital pathology toward routine clinical practice
Healthcare organizations are under growing pressure to manage rising image volumes, address workforce shortages, and prepare for AI-enabled diagnostics. According to the Signify Research Digital Pathology – World 2025 report, many pathology departments have yet to adopt digital pathology for routine clinical diagnosis and continue to operate hybrid environments where microscopes remain central to primary diagnosis.

Fully digital workflows can improve efficiency, enable collaboration and case review, enhance diagnostic consistency, and create structured data foundations that support quality improvement and scalable AI interoperability3. Philips’ cloud‑enabled digital pathology offering supports secure, remote access to images, simplifies data management at scale2, while supporting enterprise integration4 and AI‑enabled applications across health systems.

“As early adopters of digital pathology, we have already experienced the operational and clinical value of working in a fully digital environment,” said Dr. Cordon-Cardo, Chair of the Department of Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine at Mount Sinai Health System. “As our program matures, the ability to scale efficiently across sites and manage the growing volume of pathology data becomes increasingly important. A cloud‑enabled deployment reduces reliance on on‑premise infrastructure while providing the flexibility, performance, and scalability required for enterprise collaboration and AI integration. This represents an important next step in advancing our digital pathology strategy.”

A proven foundation for digital pathology
Philips’ digital pathology portfolio includes FDA‑cleared whole‑slide scanners, an image management system, archive services, and implementation and support services that help laboratories transition from analog to digital pathology workflows. With thousands of digital pathology users worldwide and a growing number of clinical sites going fully digital, Philips has built one of the largest installed bases.

“By combining scalable cloud innovation with deep domain expertise and end-to-end services, we partner with our customers throughout their transformation journey – from the first digital slide to fully connected ecosystems that help turn data into actionable insight for precision care,” said Martijn Hartjes, Business Leader Clinical Informatics at Philips. “Successful digital pathology adoption is not about technology alone, it’s about reimagining how care teams access clinical data and collaborate across a health system.”

Expanding the Philips HealthSuite Integrated Diagnostics portfolio
Philips IntelliSite Pathology on HealthSuite is the newest addition to the Philips HealthSuite Integrated Diagnostics portfolio – a rich suite of cloud-based diagnostic solutions, powered by AWS, and designed to connect data, integrate workflows, and embed AI across the diagnostic enterprise.4

The portfolio brings together Philips’ latest cloud innovations, architected to operate independently or connect across diagnostic domains.2 Other key solutions include Image Management on HealthSuite featuring Web Diagnostic Viewer, Cardiovascular Workspace on HealthSuite, and advanced visualization and AI management capabilities. Together, these solutions help health systems enable data interoperability 4, across radiology, cardiology, and pathology, streamline diagnostic workflows, and support more coordinated, data-driven care.

Philips will showcase its expanded digital pathology portfolio at HIMSS 2026 (Las Vegas, March 9–12) and at USCAP 2026 (San Antonio, March 21–26).

KOMO Biosciences Grants Research Evaluation License to Syngenta to Explore Precision Genome Modification in Maize

Collaboration brings non-viral, site-specific DNA insertion to crop trait development, intended to accelerate the path to more resilient and sustainable agriculture

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KOMO Biosciences, a developer of non-viral targeted insertion technologies, today announced that it has granted Syngenta, a world leader in agricultural innovation, a Research Evaluation License to assess aspects of KOMO’s proprietary KOMbine™ platform that is designed for precision genome modification in Zea mays (maize).

Under the agreement, Syngenta will evaluate KOMO’s non-viral, integrase-based genome engineering technology for research applications focused on the controlled and predictable introduction of genetic programs into maize genomes. The evaluation will support early-stage studies exploring how precise genomic integration can enable more advanced crop trait development.

KOMO’s platform addresses a core limitation of existing genetic engineering approaches: the inability to reliably and efficiently introduce large or complex genetic payloads into defined genomic locations without relying on viral delivery or nuclease-induced DNA breaks. This challenge is well recognized in therapeutic development and is increasingly important in agriculture as modern traits require coordinated expression of multiple genes with long-term stability.

Maize remains one of the world’s most critical crops, yet improving traits such as stress tolerance, yield stability, and resource efficiency increasingly depend on precise genomic control rather than single-gene edits. KOMO’s integrase-based approach is designed to enable site-specific, programmable genome modification, supporting predictable expression and durable performance across generations.

“This evaluation reflects a broader shift in how genome engineering is evolving,” said Jennifer Manning, Founder and CEO of KOMO Biosciences. “As biological systems become more complex, the question is no longer just whether a gene can be edited, but whether genetic programs can be reliably installed and controlled. KOMO was built to enable that next layer of genome engineering, and we’re excited to see this capability explored in maize and other agricultural systems.”

“At Syngenta, we’re energized by our collaboration with KOMO Biosciences. By combining our deep expertise in plant genetics and trait introgression with KOMO’s cutting-edge technology, we can accelerate our commitment to bring more precise solutions to farmers around the world.” stated Trevor Hohls, Global Head of R&D, Syngenta Seeds.

HOUSTON, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Moleculin Biotech, Inc., (Nasdaq: MBRX) (“Moleculin” or the “Company”), today announced it has released the next segment on its CEO Corner, a platform featuring Walter Klemp, Chief Executive Officer. The CEO Corner is designed to provide investors and stakeholders with enhanced insight into the Company’s corporate developments, clinical progress and strategic initiatives.

As part of the segment, Mr. Klemp discussed progress on the Company’s pivotal MIRACLE Study evaluating Annamycin in combination with cytarabine (AnnAraC) for patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Mr. Klemp explained that the adaptive Phase 3 trial was designed with input from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and includes an initial cohort of 45 patients. After treatment of these patients is completed, the study will undergo an interim unblinding to evaluate safety and efficacy and help inform the most efficient regulatory path forward. Enrollment and dosing across clinical sites are progressing as planned, with completion of treatment for the first 45 patients expected in the near term. The study builds on encouraging results from the Company’s earlier MB-106 Study, in which AnnAraC demonstrated overall survival outcomes that exceeded historical benchmarks in this difficult-to-treat patient population.

About Moleculin Biotech, Inc.
Moleculin Biotech, Inc. is a Phase 3 clinical stage pharmaceutical company advancing a pipeline of therapeutic candidates addressing hard-to-treat tumors and viruses. The Company’s lead program, Annamycin (also known as naxtarubicin), is a next-generation highly efficacious and well tolerated anthracycline designed to avoid multidrug resistance mechanisms and to lack the cardiotoxicity common with currently prescribed anthracyclines. Annamycin is currently in development for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and soft tissue sarcoma (STS) lung metastases.

The Company has begun the MIRACLE (Moleculin R/R AML AnnAraC Clinical Evaluation) Trial (MB-108), a pivotal, adaptive design Phase 3 trial evaluating Annamycin in combination with cytarabine, together referred to as AnnAraC (the combination of Annamycin and cytarabine, also referred to as “Ara-C”) and, for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Following a successful Phase 1B/2 study (MB-106), with input from the FDA, the Company believes it has substantially de-risked the development pathway towards a potential approval for Annamycin for the treatment of AML. This study remains subject to appropriate future filings with potential additional feedback from the FDA and their foreign equivalents.

Additionally, the Company is developing WP1066, an Immune/Transcription Modulator capable of inhibiting p-STAT3 and other oncogenic transcription factors while also stimulating a natural immune response, targeting brain tumors, pancreatic and other cancers. Moleculin also has in its pipeline a portfolio of antimetabolites, including WP1122 for the potential treatment of pathogenic viruses, as well as certain cancer indications.

New Study Shows Adherence to Monthly Injectable Buprenorphine Linked to Lower Healthcare Utilization and Costs in Opioid Use Disorder

New Study Shows Adherence to Monthly Injectable Buprenorphine Linked to Lower Healthcare Utilization and Costs in Opioid Use Disorder




New Study Shows Adherence to Monthly Injectable Buprenorphine Linked to Lower Healthcare Utilization and Costs in Opioid Use Disorder

  • Patients adherent to SUBLOCADE® for 12 months had 42% lower adjusted non-MOUD medical costs vs. those adherent to other forms of MOUD
  • Patients adherent to SUBLOCADE had the lowest inpatient, emergency department, and detoxification utilization across all treatment groups

RICHMOND, Va., March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Indivior Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: INDV) today announced findings from a new real-world evidence, retrospective observational study published in Frontiers in Public Health showing that adherence to SUBLOCADE® (extended-release buprenorphine), a monthly injectable, is associated with meaningfully lower healthcare utilization and medical costs among commercially insured patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). These outcomes were more favorable compared to both patients adherent to other medications for OUD (MOUD) and to those who were nonadherent to MOUD.

These findings add to growing evidence that long-acting injectable buprenorphine treatment supports sustained engagement in care and reduces costly acute healthcare use.

To evaluate the relationship between treatment adherence, medication type, healthcare utilization, and costs, patients were grouped based on adherence level and primary MOUD received during follow-up including: those adherent to SUBLOCADE, those not adherent to SUBLOCADE but adherent to other MOUD (e.g., transmucosal buprenorphine), and those who were not adherent to any MOUD.

Patients who were adherent to SUBLOCADE across the 12-month follow-up experienced the lowest rates of inpatient admissions, emergency department visits, and detoxification services across all other groups.

Key findings:

  • $15,017 (42%) lower annual non-MOUD medical costs per patient for SUBLOCADE-adherent patients vs other MOUD ($35,761 vs. $50,778).
  • Lower adjusted costs observed among MOUD nonadherent patients likely reflect disengagement from routine outpatient care, and greater reliance on acute services.

“These data highlight the potential of long-acting injectable buprenorphine treatment to improve care continuity for people living with OUD and reduce the need for acute, high-cost healthcare services,” said Christian Heidbreder, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Indivior.

Across treatment groups, consistent use of a monthly injectable buprenorphine was associated with lower overall healthcare expenditures compared with adherence to other MOUD. Consistent with other research, this study found that adherence to MOUD remains low overall, underscoring the broader challenges of treatment continuity in OUD care.

“These findings reinforce the importance of evaluating OUD treatment based on total healthcare cost,” said Patrick Barry, Chief Commercial Officer at Indivior. “Sustained engagement with long-acting therapy can reduce costly acute care use, generating meaningful system-wide savings while supporting treatment continuity for patients.”

Study limitations include the retrospective observational design and reliance on administrative claims data, which may be subject to coding inaccuracies and unmeasured confounding. Portions of the study period overlapped with the COVID-19 pandemic, where disruptions in care may have influenced healthcare utilization patterns. At the time the study was conducted, SUBLOCADE was the only extended-release buprenorphine product available in the U.S. market.

The study is available online: Association between extended-release buprenorphine adherence and reduced healthcare costs among insured patients with opioid use disorder

About SUBLOCADE®

SUBLOCADE® (buprenorphine extended-release) injection, for subcutaneous use, CIII

INDICATION AND HIGHLIGHTED SAFETY INFORMATION

INDICATION

SUBLOCADE is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe opioid use disorder in patients who have initiated treatment with a single dose of a transmucosal buprenorphine product or who are already being treated with buprenorphine.

SUBLOCADE should be used as part of a complete treatment plan that includes counseling and psychosocial support.

HIGHLIGHTED SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH WITH INTRAVENOUS ADMINISTRATION; SUBLOCADE RISK EVALUATION AND MITIGATION STRATEGY

  • Serious harm or death could result if administered intravenously. SUBLOCADE forms a solid mass upon contact with body fluids and may cause occlusion, local tissue damage, and thrombo-embolic events, including life-threatening pulmonary emboli, if administered intravenously.
  • Because of the risk of serious harm or death that could result from intravenous self-administration, SUBLOCADE is only available through a restricted program call the SUBLOCADE REMS Program. Healthcare settings and pharmacies that order and dispense SUBLOCADE must be certified in this program and comply with the REMS requirements.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Hypersensitivity to buprenorphine or any other ingredients in SUBLOCADE.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse: SUBLOCADE contains buprenorphine, a Schedule III controlled substance that can be abused in a manner similar to other opioids. Monitor patients for conditions indicative of diversion or progression of opioid dependence and addictive behaviors.

Respiratory Depression: Life threatening respiratory depression and death have occurred in association with buprenorphine. Warn patients of the potential danger of self-administration of benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants while under treatment with SUBLOCADE.

Risk of Serious Injection Site Reactions: Likelihood may increase with inadvertent intramuscular or intradermal administration. Evaluate and treat as appropriate. The most common injection site reactions are pain, erythema, and pruritus with some involving abscess, ulceration, and necrosis.

Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome: Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) is an expected and treatable outcome of prolonged use of opioids during pregnancy.

Adrenal Insufficiency: If diagnosed, treat with physiologic replacement of corticosteroids, and wean patient off of the opioid.

Risk of Opioid Withdrawal with Abrupt Discontinuation: If treatment with SUBLOCADE is discontinued, monitor patients for several months for withdrawal and treat appropriately.

Risk of Hepatitis, Hepatic Events: Monitor liver function tests prior to and during treatment.

Risk of Withdrawal in Patients Dependent on Full Agonist Opioids: Verify that patients have tolerated transmucosal buprenorphine before injecting SUBLOCADE.

Treatment of Emergent Acute Pain: Treat pain with a non-opioid analgesic whenever possible. If opioid therapy is required, monitor patients closely because higher doses may be required for analgesic effect.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Adverse reactions commonly associated with SUBLOCADE (in ≥5% of subjects) were constipation, headache, nausea, injection site pruritus, vomiting, increased hepatic enzymes, fatigue, and injection site pain.
