Akorn Operating Company LLC launched the first to market generic Cetrorelix Acetate for Injection 0.25 mg (Cetrorelix) at the 2022 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Conference (ASRM) Conference in Anaheim, California. ASRM brings together leading medical professionals to discover the latest in reproductive medicine, treatments, and patient management. Cetrorelix is the first approved, AP–rated and bioequivalent version of EMD Serono's Cetrotide.

The FDA granted Akorn a Competitive Generic Therapy (CGT) designation for Cetrorelix, a designation intended to incentivize effective development, efficient review, and timely market entry of drugs for which there is inadequate generic competition. As the first approved applicant with the CGT designation, Akorn became eligible for 180 days of market exclusivity, which the Company secured with this week's commercial launch of Cetrorelix. Cetrorelix is used to prevent premature ovulation during controlled ovarian stimulation.
