About The Grünenthal Group
Grünenthal is a global leader in pain management and related diseases. As a science-based, privately-owned pharmaceutical company, we have a long track record of bringing innovative treatments and state-of-the-art technologies to patients worldwide. Our purpose is to change lives for the better – and innovation is our passion. We are focusing all of our activities and efforts on working towards our vision of a world free of pain.
Grünenthal is headquartered in Aachen, Germany, and has affiliates in 29 countries across Europe, Latin America and the US. Our products are available in more than 100 countries. In 2019, Grünenthal employed around 4,700 people and achieved sales of € 1.4 bn.
GRT US Holding, Inc. is entering the US healthcare market strategically by establishing a Specialty Pharmaceutical business (Averitas Pharma, Inc.) while investing in growth through partnerships in Health Technology (Fern Health) and Drug Discovery & Development (GRT Therapeutics).
Averitas Pharma was formed in 2018 as the USA commercial subsidiary of The Grünenthal Group, a multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in Germany with a presence in more than 30 countries across Europe, Latin America, and the USA. For more than 70 years, Grünenthal has been a global leader in the research and development of therapeutics for pain, gout, and inflammation.
The first innovative product in our portfolio is QUTENZA® (capsaicin patch) 8% topical system, a non-opioid, which was acquired in late 2018. This acquisition gives Grünenthal global commercial rights to QUTENZA® and provides Averitas Pharma with its first FDA-approved product for distribution. QUTENZA® is currently marketed and distributed by Averitas Pharma in the US for the management of neuropathic pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) of the feet. To learn more about QUTENZA®, please visit the product website.
QUTENZA® is a topical system that may provide 3 months of pain relief from a single, 30 minute (PDPN) or 1-hour (PHN) in office-treatment. Applications may be repeated every 3 months or as needed by the return of pain, but not more often than every 3 months. The medicine in QUTENZA® is prescription-strength capsaicin, which is the substance in chili peppers that gives them their heat sensation. QUTENZA® is the first and only treatment of its kind to deliver prescription-strength capsaicin directly into the skin. QUTENZA® is unlikely to interact with other medicines you may be taking. Like any medicine, QUTENZA® may not work for everyone. The most common side effects experienced by 5% or more of patients are: redness, pain, itching, and small bumps where QUTENZA® is applied, and nausea.
