Braeburn Pharmaceuticals to Conduct First Series of Probuphine® (buprenorphine) Implant Trainings in San Juan on August 5, 6 and 7 for Qualified Healthcare Providers

August 2, 2016

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Braeburn Pharmaceuticals announces that healthcare provider training and certification for Probuphine will take place on August 5, 6 and 7 in San Juan. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 26, 2016, Probuphine is the first implant for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence in patients who have sustained clinical stability on low-to-moderate doses of buprenorphine, specifically 8 mg or less per day.

Healthcare providers in the San Juan area can register for Probuphine training here or by calling 1-866-397-8939.

Opioid use disorder is a chronic brain disease and one of the fastest growing public health epidemics in America. In Puerto Rico, it is estimated that approximately 70,000 people are addicts, and that $3 million per day is spent on illicit drugs. Research has shown that opioid use disorder is best treated with a combination of medication and psychosocial support. The majority of individuals with opioid use disorder cannot sustain recovery without long-term outpatient medical treatment.

“Braeburn is committed to making Probuphine available to patients in the San Juan area and across the country as soon as possible, which is why we’re conducting training sessions so quickly after receiving FDA approval for Probuphine,” said President and CEO Behshad Sheldon, Braeburn Pharmaceuticals. “We look forward to educating qualified healthcare providers in San Juan on August 5, 6 and 7 on best practices for insertion and removal of Probuphine, the only treatment for opioid dependence that delivers medicine for up to six months. To date, 2,342 physicians from all 50 states and Puerto Rico have been certified to provide Probuphine to their patients.”

Probuphine will not be distributed by pharmacies; patients can only receive the treatment from certified healthcare providers who have been specially trained to insert the implants just under the skin of the inside of the upper arm through an in-office procedure.

This weekend’s training sessions for Probuphine in San Juan are part of a series of 262 that Braeburn is conducting across 55 cities this summer.

About Probuphine

Probuphine is the only FDA approved long-acting buprenorphine treatment for opioid dependence. Probuphine delivers buprenorphine continuously for six months using Titan Pharmaceuticals’ (NASDAQ: TTNP) ProNeura™ technology. Probuphine is placed under the skin of the upper arm during an outpatient office procedure and is removed in a similar manner.

For More Information on Probuphine

Probuphine is now available in all 50 U.S. States. Patients interested in Probuphine should visit the Probuphine Healthcare Provider Locator to find a trained and certified provider near them: www.probuphinerems.com/probuphine-locator.

Probuphine is not distributed by pharmacies. Qualified healthcare providers can register for Probuphine training at www.probuphineREMS.com or by calling 1-866-397-8939.

WARNING: IMPLANT MIGRATION, PROTRUSION, EXPULSION and NERVE DAMAGE ASSOCIATED WITH INSERTION and REMOVAL

Risk Associated with Insertion and Removal

Insertion and removal of PROBUPHINE are associated with the risk of implant migration, protrusion, expulsion resulting from the procedure. Rare but serious complications including nerve damage and migration resulting in embolism and death may result from improper insertion of drug implants inserted in the upper arm. Additional complications may include local migration, protrusion and expulsion. Incomplete insertions or infections may lead to protrusion or expulsion.

Because of the risks associated with insertion and removal, PROBUPHINE is available only through a restricted program called the PROBUPHINE REMS Program. All Healthcare Providers must successfully complete a live training program on the insertion and removal procedures and become certified, prior to performing insertions or prescribing PROBUPHINE implants. Patients must be monitored to ensure that PROBUPHINE is removed by a healthcare provider certified to perform insertions.

Please see additional Important Safety Information in the Package Insert that can be found at probuphine.com or by following this link http://probuphinerems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/final-approved-pi.pdf.

About Opioid Use Disorder and Buprenorphine

Opioid use disorder is a chronic brain disease and one of the fastest growing public health epidemics in America. In the U.S., 2.5 million people struggle with opioid addiction and, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 78 people die each day from the disease. There is a growing body of evidence that opioid addiction is not a choice or a moral failing, but the result of genetic predisposition combined with environmental factors. Nonetheless, individuals struggling with this disease continue to be stigmatized. Research has also shown that opioid use disorder is best treated with a combination of medication and psychosocial support. The majority of individuals with opioid addiction cannot sustain recovery without long-term outpatient medical treatment.

Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, which may help individuals to stop opioid use without experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Before FDA approval of Probuphine, buprenorphine was only available in oral form which must be taken daily.

About Braeburn Pharmaceuticals

Braeburn Pharmaceuticals, an Apple Tree Partners company, is a pharmaceutical company focused on long-acting therapeutic treatment options that are essential to improving patient outcomes and facilitating recovery in neurological and psychiatric disorders, which are often complicated by stigma and present significant public health challenges. Braeburn’s commercial product, Probuphine® (buprenorphine) implant was approved by the FDA in May 2016. Braeburn’s investigational product pipeline consists of long-acting implantable and injectable therapies for serious neurological and psychiatric disorders, including opioid addiction, pain, and schizophrenia. Braeburn’s pipeline products are at various stages of clinical development and include CAM2038, weekly and monthly subcutaneous injection depot formulations of buprenorphine, being investigated in opioid addiction and pain; a risperidone six-month implant being investigated in schizophrenia; and a novel molecule, ATI-9242, is being investigated for treatment of schizophrenia.

Blue Moon To Celebrate 21st Birthday Through Collaborative Celebrations With Chef Roy Choi, Band Family Of The Year

August 2, 2016

0

DENVER, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — There’s something brewing at Blue Moon Brewing Company this year, and it’s not just beer. As Blue Moon celebrates its 21^st birthday, the brewery is bringing together like-minded creators with new advertising, events and a new brewery. The collaborations will explore and embrace the creative process across artistic forms, rounding out the year with food, music, art and, of course, great beer.

SOMETHING’S BREWING, BLUE MOON’S NEW ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

Blue Moon launched a new advertising platform this year, entitled “Something’s Brewing.” The first ad featured founder and head brewmaster Keith Villa, whose imagination led him to create Blue Moon Belgian White, a Belgian Wit brewed with an artful twist.

The campaign will also feature other creators who always add an inspired twist to their creations: Los Angeles chef Roy Choi of Kogi fame and indie-rock band Family of the Year. Ads featuring Choi began airing this week, with Family of the Year appearing in ads later in the summer.

“I have always pulled inspiration for the beers I create from my travels and the creative people I’ve met along the way,” says Villa. “I’m thrilled to team up with Roy and Family of the Year to pair our art forms and see how each of our creative processes influences the others.”

“Collaboration is essential to my creative experience,” said Choi. “I am inspired by the things around me—people, music, beer—to push the boundaries and create original food and dining experiences.”

The TV ads, created by Venables Bell & Partners and directed by Dante Ariola, focus on how these visionaries manifest the creative spirit to bring forward celebrated works. Behind-the-scenes footage from both Choi and Family of the Year’s advertisements can be viewed here.

Choi’s partnership with the brewery also includes numerous ‘Fresh Takes’ recipes which are inspired by and include Blue Moon beers. The recipes can be found at bluemoonbrewingcompany.com/roy-choi.

A NEW LANDMARK BREWERY

Blue Moon’s 21^st year will also feature a new first: the opening of a roughly 26,000 square foot pilot brewery in Denver’s River North Art District. The brewpub has the capacity to seat 450 people, including an open-air patio facing the mountains that will seat 150 and a 50-seat special events room nestled among the brewing vessels. The new brewing system will feature a two-barrel pilot system for test beers and offers a brew house capable of 20 to 35 barrels with an annual capacity of 10,000 barrels.

Led by chef Darrell Jensen, the restaurant menu will feature local ingredients designed to complement the beer. With 24 beers on tap and a full-service kitchen, the new brewery will join Blue Moon’s original home base, The SandLot in Coors Field, as a canvas for creating, testing and enjoying new Blue Moon beers and food.

About Blue Moon Brewing Company

Blue Moon Brewing Company takes pride in the quality and creativity of its beers and embraces the process it takes to get there. Our founder and head brewmaster, Keith Villa, dreamt up Blue Moon Belgian White while spending time living and learning in Belgium. Years later, we still pull inspiration from the people and places around us. Since our first creative twist in 1995 in Denver, we have continued to have fun experimenting and trying out new styles for our fans to enjoy. That’s why at Blue Moon Brewing Company, something’s always brewing. More information is available at www.BlueMoonBrewingCompany.com.

Prior to joining DTCC, Raposo had a distinguished 20-year career at General Electric, where he held various senior global finance and operational roles, including divisional CFO for GE’s Components Business. “Oscar brings tested strategies for success and a track record of taking on complex assignments that deliver financial results. I couldn’t be more excited to have such an accomplished professional join us in our work,” added Wright.

Raposo’s appointment aligns with UWNYC’s accelerated expansion of its bold goal, which defines its work for the next decade. By 2025, UWNYC will help 50,000 New Yorkers in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty make meaningful and measurable progress toward the pivotal milestone of self-sufficiency. UWNYC will leverage the successes of its programs to ultimately achieve citywide policy and system changes to reach all low-income New Yorkers.

Raposo has a history of partnering with business leaders, improving and growing global businesses, developing strong finance teams and driving business performance. He has served on operating, investment, technology, compliance and diversity committees of organizations, is an avid supporter of philanthropic organizations and is committed to contributing his significant talents to UWNYC’s mission. “United Way of New York City’s vision is true to my passion for community change,” said Raposo. “I look forward to bringing my experiences to UWNYC and helping to drive its mission forward—impacting NYC’s most-challenged communities.”
