UPPSALA, Sweden – November 13, 2026 – Orexo AB (publ.) (STO: ORX) (OTCQX:ORXOY) today announced that its US subsidiary, Orexo US, Inc., presented two oral abstracts with additional data on OX640, a novel nasal epinephrine powder in clinical development, at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place in Phoenix, Arizona, November 12-16, 2026.
Dr. Anne K. Ellis, Professor and Chair of the Division of Allergy & Immunology at Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) and advisor to Orexo, presented an analysis of the OX640-002 study, which evaluated the time to reach the epinephrine levels of 100 and 200pg/ml, as well as time spent above these thresholds. Among other findings, OX640 reached threshold epinephrine levels fastest under allergic rhinitis conditions compared to normal conditions and compared to an epinephrine intramuscular injection.
Dr. Edward Kim, Chief Medical Officer of Orexo, also presented a poster demonstrating detailed stability for OX640, as compared to a commercially available epinephrine autoinjector and liquid epinephrine nasal spray. After one year under accelerated aging conditions, OX640 maintained more than 98% of its R-epinephrine potency, as compared to 55% with an epinephrine autoinjector and 66% of a liquid epinephrine nasal spray.
The abstracts will be available online at annualmeeting.acaai.org.
Nikolaj Sørensen, President and CEO of Orexo AB, said: “These new data add to the growing body of evidence supporting OX640 as a differentiated, needle-free epinephrine rescue treatment. The combination of rapid epinephrine absorption and enhanced product stability addresses important attributes for an emergency treatment that needs to be readily available and reliable when patients need it most.”
