About Titan Pharmaceuticals
Titan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: TTNPD), based in South San
Francisco, CA, is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing proprietary therapeutics primarily for the treatment of serious
medical disorders. The company’s lead product candidate is Probuphine®, a novel and long-acting formulation of buprenorphine
for the long-term maintenance treatment of opioid dependence. Probuphine employs Titan’s proprietary drug delivery system
ProNeura™, which is capable of delivering sustained, consistent levels of medication for three months or longer. Titan has
granted U.S. and Canadian commercial rights for Probuphine to Braeburn Pharmaceuticals. If approved, Probuphine would be the first
and only commercialized treatment of opioid dependence to provide continuous, around-the-clock blood levels of buprenorphine for
six months following a single procedure. The ProNeura technology has the potential to be used in developing products for treating
other chronic conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, where maintaining consistent blood levels of a therapeutic agent
may benefit the patient and improve medical outcomes. For more information about Titan, please visit www.titanpharm.com.
