In January 2023, Eton exercised its right to exit its ALKINDI SPRINKLE co-promotion agreement. Given the significant growth of ALKINDI SPRINKLE in 2022 and the expected growth in 2023, the sales commission to Eton’s co-promotion partner was expected to be approximately the same cost as internally expanding to a full-sized sales force. ...
