Nutriband, Inc.

Company overview

  • Legal status: Nevada corporation, formed January 2016. Corporate headquarters in Orlando, Florida.
  • Primary business: development of transdermal pharmaceutical products, centered on the AVERSA abuse-deterrent transdermal technology.

Business model and revenue

  • Revenue is generated through services provided by two subsidiaries:
    • Pocono Pharmaceuticals (operating as Active Intelligence): contract manufacturing for health, wellness, and over‑the‑counter pharmaceutical customers.
    • 4P Therapeutics: contract research and development services for pharmaceutical and medical‑device customers.
  • 4P Therapeutics’ services are expected to be limited in revenue while the company advances its development programs, consistent with an early‑stage profile.

Corporate structure and key entities

  • Pocono Pharmaceuticals: contract manufacturer with a manufacturing facility in Cherryville, North Carolina.
  • 4P Therapeutics: provides contract R&D services for life sciences customers.
  • In 2020 the company acquired Pocono Coated Products assets, including ownership of Active Intelligence LLC (now part of Pocono).
  • The acquisition of 4P Therapeutics brought AVERSA‑related technology and development programs into Nutriband’s portfolio.

Lead products and development pipeline

  • Core technology: AVERSA abuse‑deterrent transdermal products.
    • AVERSA™ Fentanyl: lead program — an abuse‑deterrent fentanyl transdermal system intended to reduce abuse and accidental exposure when used as a patch.
    • Additional programs under consideration: AVERSA™ Buprenorphine and AVERSA™ Methylphenidate.
  • Long‑term strategy: apply AVERSA technology to other approved transdermal drugs and pursue generic or improved transdermal products.

Regulatory and development pathway

  • Primary regulatory route for AVERSA Fentanyl: 505(b)(2) NDA pathway, referencing an existing fentanyl patch and a Phase 1 human abuse‑potential study to support abuse‑deterrent claims.
  • The company is planning a Phase 1 abuse‑potential study to support an NDA submission and is following standard regulatory elements (IND, NDA, CMC).
  • FDA engagement: in October 2025 Nutriband completed a Type C meeting with FDA on Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) for AVERSA Fentanyl. Topics included batch validation, stability, specifications, and abuse‑deterrence testing plans.
  • The program may qualify for expedited review under certain conditions, though that outcome is not guaranteed.

Intellectual property and branding

  • AVERSA technology is covered by patents in the United States and in 45–46 other countries.
  • U.S. patents include: 11,246,840 (2022); 11,759,431 (2023); 12,318,492 (2025), with protection through at least 2035.
  • A provisional U.S. patent was filed on October 3, 2025 to strengthen protection for improved aversive formulations and coating methods; potential extensions could extend coverage to 2046 if granted.
  • Trademark activity includes registered NUTRIBAND marks and a filed AVERSA wordmark. Nutriband engaged Brand Institute to develop the worldwide brand name for AVERSA Fentanyl.
  • IP strategy uses patent protection, trade secrets, and ongoing prosecution in key jurisdictions.

Partnerships and exclusive arrangements

  • Exclusive product development partnership with Kindeva Drug Delivery (formerly 3M Drug Delivery):
    • Initial agreement signed January 2024 to develop AVERSA Fentanyl using Kindeva’s FDA‑approved fentanyl patch.
    • A February 13, 2025 addendum established a long‑term exclusive development partnership with shared development costs and milestone payments.
    • The program includes preclinical and clinical studies to demonstrate abuse deterrence, with a regulatory path through a 505(b)(2) NDA.
  • The collaboration uses Kindeva’s patch platform for AVERSA Fentanyl and may support future AVERSA products.

Manufacturing, facilities, and real estate

  • Corporate offices in Orlando: leased at $2,500 per month.
  • Cherryville, North Carolina manufacturing facility: leased at $3,000 per month under a three‑year extension effective February 1, 2025.

People and governance

  • Management ownership: officers and a group including Gareth Sheridan (CEO), Serguei Melnik (President), and Dr. Alan Smith (COO) collectively own about 49.88% of common stock (as of April 28, 2026).
  • The company relies on key personnel, and the loss of those individuals could materially affect operations.

Legal

  • Ongoing litigation: Joseph Gunnar, LLC and Lucosky Brookman LLP v. Nutriband, Inc., in New York state court. Nutriband has filed counterclaims and the case is in discovery. A proposed settlement offer was previously extended and not accepted.

Outlook

  • Nutriband is focused on advancing AVERSA‑based transdermal products, starting with AVERSA Fentanyl and expanding to other AVERSA candidates and transdermal opportunities.
  • The company depends on partnerships (notably Kindeva) for development and manufacturing, and combines internal R&D with contract research services via 4P Therapeutics.
  • As an early‑stage enterprise, Nutriband emphasizes the need to secure capital to support product development and commercialization, supported by a portfolio of intellectual property intended to underpin future market entry.
