Developing and commercializing Ofirmev, a non-opioid therapeutic for post-operative pain
Cadence was a hospital-focused, specialty pharmaceuticals company developing and commercializing Ofirmev, the first and only IV formulation of acetaminophen for mild-to-moderate pain. Cadence achieved FDA approval for Ofirmev in 2011 and launched the drug to provide post-operative hospital patients a new non-opioid therapy for pain. Ofirmev generated >$100M in sales in its third year of launch, and Cadence was acquired by Mallinckrodt in 2014.
