On Wednesday, Shares of BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (NASDAQ:BDSI), gained 6.37% to $5.68.

BioDelivery Sciences International, and its partner Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Endo), a partner of Endo International plc (ENDP) (ENL.TO), declared earlier that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved BELBUCA (CIII) (buprenorphine HCl) buccal film for use in patients with chronic pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment for which alternative treatment options are inadequate.  FDA approval of BELBUCA has triggered a milestone payment to BDSI from Endo of $50 million following the 2012 worldwide license and development agreement between BDSI and Endo for the development and commercialization of BELBUCA.

It is anticipated that BELBUCA may become commercially available in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2016, which may trigger additional milestone payments from Endo in the future if certain sales milestones are met.  BDSI may also be entitled to receive tiered royalties on net sales of BELBUCA that start in the mid-teens.

Based on current operations and forecasts, BDSI estimates that the $50 million dollar milestone payment from Endo, when combined with current cash on hand, provides BDSI with sufficient capital to operate its business to about the middle of 2017.

BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company, engages in the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products principally in the areas of pain administration and addiction.
