Aytu BioPharma Launches EXXUA for Major Depressive Disorder
Aytu BioPharma announced the nationwide commercial launch of EXXUA and completion of its launch meeting last week that finalized sales training and launch preparations for EXXUA, the first and only selective 5-HT1A agonist approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults, representing a new way to treat MDD. EXXUA is a once-daily monotherapy with a unique mechanism of action that selectively targets 5-HT1A receptors, important regulators of mood and emotion while minimizing activity at serotonin receptors linked to side effects such as sexual dysfunction and weight gain that are common with many first-line antidepressants. EXXUA is only approved for use in adults. Antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in pediatric and young adult patients in short-term studies.
