Pipeline

An expanding portfolio

Aquestive Therapeutics is the undisputed leader in developing and delivering medications via film, through PharmFilm® technology. Building on this success, we have established a robust portfolio of treatments for CNS disorders and are advancing a late-stage pipeline with promising treatments for complex conditions.

Reinventing medicines

Our investigational medicines can offer simple new ways for patients and caregivers to use proven and trusted molecules. Our late-stage pipeline includes several investigational treatments for CNS conditions, where patients face great difficulty in using medication because of the impact of their disease.1 Looking ahead, we see even greater potential for PharmFilm® technology to improve patient treatment and are working to deliver complex molecules, proteins, and peptides on oral film with newer prodrugs and technologies.
