Expansion of Cortrophin Gel into large, underpenetrated autoimmune and acute gouty arthritis indications, where current ACTH use covers only a small portion of roughly 1 million addressable patients, offers ANI Pharmaceuticals a route to higher rare disease revenue contribution and a greater share of company level earnings.
The recent 50% increase in Cortrophin commercial headcount to about 180 representatives, including more than 60 focused on gout specialists and primary care, is already showing early productivity and can further build prescription volumes that may support revenue growth ahead of SG&A, which benefits EBITDA margins.
