Ember Therapeutics Enters Into Agreement to Divest OP-1 Portfolio Program to Viscogliosi Brothers, LLC
Published 3:53 PM ET Thu, 16 Aug 2018 PR Newswire
NEW YORK, Aug. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ember Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the clinical application of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 (BMP-7), announced today that it has entered into a letter of intent with Viscogliosi Brothers, LLC (VB), a private equity investment firm focused on developing innovative neuromusculoskeletal technologies, for the sale of its OP-1 product family and related assets, which includes OP-1 Implant, OP-1 Putty, Opgenra and Osigraft for use in orthopaedic bone applications.
Ember Therapeutics had acquired the exclusive, worldwide license to the BMP-7 and OP-1 portfolio and associated intellectual property from Stryker Corporation in 2014. The previously commercialized OP-1 product portfolio had at one point generated approximately $100M in annual revenues for Stryker and had been viewed as a formidable competitor to Medtronic's Infuse.
The transaction is expected to close in late Q3 or Q4 of this year and is subject to financing. "This transaction allows Ember to continue to focus on our exciting late stage osteoarthritis (OA) program which offers the potential of addressing the actual cause of this debilitating disease by regrowing cartilage in the knee. OP-1, a related product for bone, has an immense amount of potential as has been previously used in over 50,000 patients," stated Joseph Hernandez, Executive Chairman of Ember Therapeutics. "We are excited to be working with the Viscogliosi Brothers in their efforts to commercially relaunch these products."
"We believe bone repair and regeneration is the future of orthopaedic healthcare," stated Anthony G. Viscogliosi, principal of Viscogliosi Brothers, LLC. "VB is delighted to have access once again to the previously commercialized OP-1 product family formerly owned by Stryker Biotech. This is the second publicly announced step VB has taken in the direction of assembling what we believe will be the leading global portfolio of BMP technology for stimulating bone growth."

i was doing a little browsing and noticed EMBT had an 8k on July 12th.
what's with this stock? i have a small position tucked inside my 'Tomorrow' drawer, and i'm wondering if i should lock it instead inside a time capsule. its come down to .25 x .35, and the minimalist 2500 shares offered was bought, but i notice that didn't take out the ask. obviously they're still doing business (of a sort,) but the stock itself has either gone into hibernation mode, or is inert.
i'm trying to patiently wait this one out, but i'm feeling rather poorly at the moment.
