Market Expansion for ET-400: Eton aims to capture a significant portion of the pediatric adrenal insufficiency market, with approximately 5,000 patients under 9 years using unapproved compounded hydrocortisone.
Market Positioning for Galzin: Eton is addressing the underdiagnosis of Wilson's disease and improving access to Galzin through a robust patient services program.
