Description: AVDL Avadel Pharmaceuticals November 17, 2025
Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:AVDL) is a Dublin-based biopharma focused on developing novel treatments for central nervous system disorders. Its lead asset, LUMRYZ™ (sodium oxybate), is in a Phase 3 trial targeting cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness in narcolepsy patients aged seven and older. The company, originally Flamel Technologies SA, rebranded to Avadel in January 2017 and has operated as a public entity since its 2015 incorporation.
Key metrics as of the latest filing show a cash runway of roughly $120 million, giving the firm >12 months of operating liquidity without additional financing. The narcolepsy market is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~6% through 2028, driven by increasing diagnosis rates and unmet therapeutic needs. Avadel’s R&D spend represents about 30% of total revenue, reflecting its pipeline-heavy strategy, while the broader CNS drug sector benefits from higher reimbursement rates and a favorable FDA “fast-track” environment for sleep-disorder indications.
