COMPANY OVERVIEW
Acton is primarily focused on development and commercialization of
innovative pharmaceutical products that treat allergic, pulmonary, and
other respiratory related diseases.
Established in 2008, Acton's management includes senior
pharmaceutical executives and aerosol drug development experts with
decades of collective experience. In 2009, Acton simultaneously
completed a Series A round of financing with Sequoia Capital and the
licensing of Aerospan from Forest Laboratories, Inc. Our partnership
with Forest, a leading U.S. pharmaceutical company, gives Acton
exclusive rights to develop and market Aerospan in the $7.0 billion
dollar inhaled steroid market, in addition to ex-U.S. rights where they
apply.
Aerospan was chosen as the Company's lead product to build our
initial commercial infrastructure while we seek additional
in-licensing, co-marketing, or acquisition product candidates.
The Company is currently completing development of Aerospan and
plans to launch it in the U.S. market place with its own, proprietary
commercial sales force. In addition, Acton is actively seeking to
acquire additional late stage or marketed respiratory products that
will complement our respiratory specialist and pediatric focus.
Our corporate headquarters are located in Marlborough, MA.
