Valeritas Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VLRX) has filed an S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding its secondary offering. No pricing details were given in the filing, although the offering is valued up to $57.5 million.
The underwriters for the offering are Oppenheimer and BTIG.
This is a commercial-stage medical technology company focused on improving health and simplifying life for people with diabetes by developing and commercializing innovative technologies. Valeritas’ flagship product, V-Go Wearable Insulin Delivery device, is a simple, affordable, all-in-one basal-bolus insulin delivery option for patients with type 2 diabetes that is worn like a patch and can eliminate the need for taking multiple daily shots.
V-Go administers a continuous preset basal rate of insulin over 24 hours and it provides discreet on-demand bolus dosing at mealtimes. It is the only basal-bolus insulin delivery device on the market specifically designed keeping in mind the needs of type 2 diabetes patients. V-Go enables patients to closely mimic the body’s normal physiologic pattern of insulin delivery throughout the day and to manage their diabetes with insulin without the need to plan a daily routine around multiple daily injections.
The company described its finances in the filing as follows:
Our net loss was $49.3 million and $46.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and was $22.5 million and $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
