Supernus and Indivior agree to merge as Supernus reports second-quarter growth
Supernus announced a definitive all-stock merger of equals with Indivior on the same day it posted 32% revenue growth and raised full-year guidance.
Supernus Pharmaceuticals said on August 3, 2026 that it had reached an agreement to merge with Indivior Pharmaceuticals, Inc., creating a diversified CNS biopharmaceutical company with significant scale.1 The deal is structured as an all-stock merger of equals under a definitive agreement between the two companies.1 The companies held a joint call the same day to discuss the transaction, and Indivior intends to file a Form S-4 registration statement with the SEC that will include a joint proxy statement/prospectus for stockholders of both companies.1
On the pipeline side, Supernus said its regulatory submission to the FDA for a second supplier for ONAPGO remains on track for the third quarter of 2026, with potential approval by mid-year 2027.1 Since ONAPGO's launch, approximately 2,600 enrollment forms have been submitted by approximately 720 prescribers as of the end of July 2026.1
In its epilepsy program, the Phase 2b study of SPN-817 at 3mg and 4mg twice-daily doses is ongoing, targeting enrollment of about 258 adult patients with treatment-resistant focal seizures.1 For depression, the Phase 2b trial of SPN-820 in about 200 adults with major depressive disorder will test 2400mg given twice weekly as an add-on to baseline antidepressant therapy, examining safety, tolerability, and speed of symptom improvement.1 For ADHD, Supernus expects to start a Phase 1 single- and multiple-ascending dose study of SPN-443 in healthy adult volunteers in the second half of 2026.1
Financially, the company said it is raising its full-year 2026 financial guidance,1 and reported cash, cash equivalents, and current marketable securities of approximately $372.1 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $308.7 million at year-end 2025, mainly due to cash generated from operations.1
