While AFT continues to gain commercial traction from Maxigesic/ Combogesic IV sales in the US (launched by partner Hikma in Q1 CY24) and anticipates the launch of Crystaderm in China, a strong R&D pipeline is central to AFT’s long-term growth ambitions. AFT recently announced the seventh addition to its R&D portfolio, a non-invasive topical alternative treatment for keloid and hypertrophic scarring, addressing the limited treatment algorithm for keloid scars (raised, thickened scars). This development collaboration is with Massey Ventures and the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute, and continues AFT’s initial collaboration with these parties from 2022, for the treatment of strawberry birthmarks.
