Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Abuse Deterrent Pharma, LLC Announces Second Meeting with US Food and Drug Administration Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported that on May 15, 2025 the Company and its development partner, AbuseDeterrent Pharma, LLC, had a second meeting with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding further development requirements for its drug candidate LTX-03 (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen) tablets to progress toward a New Drug Application (NDA) submission. LTX-03 uses Acura's LIMITx technology that is designed to provide incrementally lower, non-linear peak drug blood concentrations (Cmax) of hydrocodone as additional tablets are ingested. Subject to the final FDA meeting minutes and further deliberations and analyses by the Companies, expect to conduct one additional human pharmacokinetic study of a single tablet dose of LTX-03 compared to a single FDA Reference Standard drug in the fed and fasted state. This study, designated AP-LTX-310, will commence following production of new clinical supplies of LTX-03. Subject to NDA review, FDA was amenable to describing the unique pharmacokinetic characteristics of LTX-03 in the final approved labeling. FDA advised that a label claim suggesting a lower risk of overdose would not be warranted by pharmacokinetic testing alone. The Company believes a study to support a lower risk safety claim would best be accomplished post-NDA approval, which cannot be assured. FDA indicated the lower 5/325mg and 7.5/325mg dosage strengths of LTX-03 will require a plan to scientifically support those products in the NDA. The company is evaluating whether to conduct such a study for the NDA submission or to study and add these strengths after NDA approval, which cannot be assurance. LTX-03 (hydocodone with acetaminophen) The incidence and severity of side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and respiratory depression, associated with opioid pain relievers, such as hydrocodone, increase with increased blood plasma concentration of the opioid. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Provides Update Related to LTX-03 (Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Acetaminophen) Tablets Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported that the LTX-03 (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen) tablets using Acura’s LIMITx technology manufactured in the three New Drug Application (NDA) required registration batches passed testing at the twenty-four month time point in an ongoing shelf life study when stored at normal temperature and humidity conditions, also known as controlled room temperature. The patented LIMITx technology is a composition of inactive ingredients formulated in a manner that reduces the risks of drug overdose by reducing peak drug levels when excessive numbers of tablets are ingested. Two known hydrocodone derivatives continues to be detected in the CRT samples, as well as, unknown impurities. The unknown impurities remain at levels within standards typically accepted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for such impurities but the levels have increased since the eighteen month analysis. They intend to continue the shelf life study with the CRT samples as previously planned. The LTX-03 tablets were produced at the commercial contract manufacturer, in the to-be-marketed formulation, at commercial (equipment and process) scale. The data being generated in the shelf life study is intended to be used to support the manufacturing and shelf life requirements for a NDA. FDA Guidance allows for the use of a minimum of 24 month CRT data to establish shelf life standards for a product. Recent reports suggest growing numbers of legitimate pain patients are going undertreated as they can no longer find doctors willing to treat them due to new prescribing guidelines associated with the opioid epidemic. Suicide is increasingly seen as the only remedy for some of these patients through opioid overdose. They goal with LIMITx is to develop a treatment for effective pain relief at a one or two tablet dose while providing overdose protection by limiting high peak levels of drug in the bloodstream (Cmax) that can lead to respiratory depression and death when more than the recommended dose is ingested. LIMITx works by neutralizing stomach acid with buffering ingredients as increasing numbers of tablets are swallowed thereby reducing the stomach acid available to cause the release and subsequent systemic absorption of the active ingredient from micro-particles contained in the LIMITx tablets. In a human clinical study, formulations of LTX-03 demonstrated, under fasted conditions, analgesic levels of hydrocodone in the blood when taken at a recommended one or two tablet dose but reduced the maximum blood level (Cmax) up to 30% when subjects were exposed to higher buffer ingredient levels. Hydrocodone with acetaminophen remains the single largest prescribed opioid in the U.S. with excess oral ingestion as the most prevalent method of misuse. Analysis of forensic data associated with hydrocodone overdose death suggests a typical consumption of approximately 16 immediate-release tablets, well within the number of tablets in an average filled opioid prescription. The Company intends to demonstrate that a meaningful reduction in Cmax associated with oral overdose can mitigate the risk of respiratory depression and death. LTX-03 may offer safety advantages over existing opioid therapies consistent with the FDA’s recently proposed new guidelines for the approval of opioid products. Annuncio • Aug 11

Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces First Clinical Study for Its Investigational Drug LTX-03 Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the first clinical study for its investigational drug LTX-03 (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen) tablets using the company’s LIMITx technology commenced enrollment. The study, AP-LTX-311 or Study 311, is designed to evaluate the levels of hydrocodone and acetaminophen in the blood plasma when taken at doses in excess of normal therapeutic doses. The LIMITx technology is designed to minimize risks associated with overdose by lowering the maximum drug concentration of hydrocodone in the blood as increasing numbers of tablets are ingested. The Company expects topline results from Study 311 to be available in the second quarter of 2023. Study 311 is a phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in fasted healthy adult subjects who will be taking 2, 5 and 9 tablet doses. Study 311 is targeted to have 20 subjects complete all doses which will be administered in crossover fashion over a 4 week dosing period, with one week washout between doses. All subjects will receive an intravenous naloxone blockade during drug administration to negate the pharmacologic effects of the opioid hydrocodone. The Company expects to compare the results from the LTX-03 doses to the known, well-characterized pharmacokinetic results for hydrocodone and acetaminophen from the published literature with the intent to demonstrate lower levels of hydrocodone exposure for LTX-03 compared to the currently marketed comparator product as increasing number of tablets are ingested. The acetaminophen active ingredient is not incorporated into the LIMITx technology in the LTX-03 tablet and is not expected to be substantially different from the comparator product.

Acura Pharmaceuticals and AD Pharma Amend License to LIMITx™ LTX-03 Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced an amendment to its License, Development and Commercialization Agreement (“Agreement”) regarding Acura’s LIMITx™ LTX-03 product candidate with Abuse Deterrent Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“AD Pharma”) to extend the FDA Acceptance Date for LTX-03 (“NDA Acceptance Date”) to December 31, 2022. The Company expects to complete clinical studies and other required steps to file the NDA and gain regulatory acceptance by that date. Recent reports suggest growing numbers of legitimate pain patients are going undertreated as they can no longer find doctors willing to treat them due to new prescribing guidelines associated with the opioid epidemic. Suicide is increasingly seen as the only remedy for some of these patients through opioid overdose. Goal with LIMITx is to develop a treatment for effective pain relief at a one or two tablet dose while providing overdose protection by limiting high peak levels of drug in the bloodstream (Cmax) that can lead to respiratory depression and death when more than the recommended dose is ingested.

Hydrocodone with acetaminophen remains the single largest prescribed opioid in the U.S. with excess oral ingestion as the most prevalent method of misuse. Clinical studies with hydromorphone (LTX-04) demonstrated reductions in Cmax of up to 65% when up to 8 tablets were ingested. Analysis of forensic data associated with hydrocodone overdose death suggests a typical consumption of approximately 16 immediate-release tablets, well within the number of tablets in an average filled opioid prescription.

Acura Pharmaceuticals Provides Development Update on LTX-03 Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the LTX-03 (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen) tablets using Acura’s LIMITx technology manufactured in the three New Drug Application (“NDA”) required registration batches successfully passed testing at the six month time point in an ongoing shelf life study when stored at normal temperature and humidity conditions, also known as controlled room temperature (“CRT”). The patented LIMITx technology is a composition of inactive ingredients formulated in a manner that reduces the risks of drug overdose by reducing peak drug levels when inappropriate numbers of tablets are ingested. When stored at high temperature and humidity, also known as accelerated conditions (“AC”), the six month tests revealed the presence of a known derivative of hydrocodone at levels requiring further testing. This known derivative was also detected in the CRT samples and intermediate condition (“IC”) samples, those stored at temperatures and humidity between CRT and AC, at levels within normally accepted limits at this stage of development. The company intends to continue the shelf life study with the CRT and IC samples as previously planned. The LTX-03 tablets were produced at the commercial contract manufacturer, in the to-be-marketed formulation, at commercial (equipment and process) scale. The data being generated in the shelf life study is intended to be used to support the manufacturing and shelf life requirements for an NDA. Acura has completed its review of the Advice Letter received in October 2021 from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regarding proposed clinical study program for LTX-03. The company updated the three pharmacokinetic study protocols submitted to the FDA and drafted a fourth pharmacokinetic study protocol based on the Advice Letter. These protocols have been provided to development and commercialization partner, Abuse Deterrent Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“AD Pharma”) for comment and determination of the timing of initiation of the studies. The new protocols will require submission to the FDA under the LTX-03 Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application before they can commence. Annuncio • Jun 08
