(NASDAQ: KMPH), a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of proprietary prodrugs, today announced the U.S. commercial launch of AZSTARYS\u2122, a once-daily product for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients age six years and older. Corium, Inc. (Corium), a portfolio company of Gurnet Point Capital (GPC), is leading the commercialization of AZSTARYS in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">AZSTARYS was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2021 and consists of serdexmethylphenidate (SDX), KemPharm\u2019s prodrug of d-methylphenidate (d-MPH), co-formulated with immediate-release d-MPH. Subsequent to the approval of AZSTARYS, SDX was classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). AZSTARYS is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance as it includes a 70:30 mixture of SDX (Schedule IV) and d-MPH (Schedule II).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThe U.S. commercial launch of AZSTARYS is a significant milestone for KemPharm and an important advancement in the treatment of ADHD, a disease indication that has seen little innovation in recent years,\u201d said Travis C. Mickle, Ph.D., President and CEO of KemPharm. \u201cSince the FDA\u2019s approval of AZSTARYS in March, the various teams across Corium have been working diligently to ready AZSTARYS for its U.S. launch. We believe Corium has built a best-in-class commercial organization, and as a result, we expect the market potential for AZSTARYS will be maximized. It is great news that patients living with ADHD will now have a new treatment option with the potential to address previously unmet needs because of AZSTARYS\u2019 unique prodrug platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThe launch of AZSTARYS provides patients with ADHD, their caregivers, and their clinicians with a first-of-its-kind treatment that offers both rapid and extended ADHD symptom improvement because of the dual action of its formulation using the prodrug SDX with IR d-MPH,\u201d said Perry J. Sternberg, President and CEO of Corium. \u201cWe believe Corium\u2019s extensive ADHD and commercialization expertise will help ensure a successful AZSTARYS launch, and I am incredibly proud of our team for reaching this milestone, a significant inflection point in Corium\u2019s journey to become a leader in the CNS space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Ann Childress, M.D., President of the Center for Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine and an investigator in the AZSTARYS clinical trial, commented: \u201cMy decades of research in the ADHD space and treating patients with the condition has allowed me to be a firsthand witness to the evolution of ADHD drug development and implementation. Based on this perspective, I believe that AZSTARYS represents a true advance in ADHD medicine due to its unique combination of SDX, a prodrug of d-MPH, co-formulated with immediate release d-MPH, which provides both immediate release and consistent benefit throughout the course of the day. As a result, I believe AZSTARYS will soon become a drug of preference for physicians seeking to provide effective care for patients with ADHD.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders affecting children.
