About Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. develops oral controlled release products. Elite's strategy includes assisting partner companies in the life cycle management of products, improving existing off-patent drug products with and without Elite’s proprietary abuse-resistance technology, and developing generic versions of controlled release drug products with high barriers to entry. Two of Elite’s products, Lodrane 24® and Lodrane 24D®, are marketed by a partner, ECR Pharmaceuticals, a division of HiTech Pharmacal, for treatment of symptoms due to seasonal allergy. Elite’s lead pipeline products are novel sustained release oral formulations of oxycodone for the treatment of chronic pain, which address two of the limitations of existing oral opioids: the provision of consistent relief of baseline pain levels and deterrence of potential abuse. ELI-154, a once-daily oxycodone, is now available for commercial licensing. ELI-216, a once-daily abuse resistant oxycodone, is in the final stages of commercial scale-up. Elite, with partners, also has an ANDA filed with the FDA for a generic equivalent of a pain product and has a generic gastrointestinal drug product in clinical development. Several other generic drugs are in formulation development. Elite operates a GMP and DEA registered facility for research, development, and manufacturing located in Northvale, NJ.
