About Zevra Therapeutics, Inc.
About Zevra Therapeutics, Inc.
Zevra Therapeutics derived approximately 82% of its 2025 revenue from MIPLYFFA (arimoclomol), the first FDA-approved treatment for Niemann-Pick disease type C, which reached the U.S. market in November 2024 following a September 2024 FDA approval and had 161 patient enrollments as of December 31, 2025. The company also markets OLPRUVA for urea cycle disorders, though 2025 OLPRUVA revenue was just $0.8 million, and separately earns royalties on AZSTARYS, an ADHD treatment marketed by partner Commave through its affiliate Corium.
Zevra generates revenue primarily from U.S. commercial sales of MIPLYFFA, dispensed through a specialty pharmacy that manages benefits investigations for patients, supplemented by a Global Expanded Access Program that supplies arimoclomol in France, Germany, and other EU markets ahead of a Marketing Authorisation Application now under EMA review. AZSTARYS, an earlier product developed using Zevra's proprietary Ligand Activated Technology platform, is licensed to Commave, whose affiliate Corium handles U.S. commercialization; Zevra collects tiered royalties on net sales plus milestone payments that could reach $590.0 million in the aggregate under the amended license terms, and it received a $148.3 million cash infusion in April 2025 from selling a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher tied to MIPLYFFA's approval. Beyond its commercial products, Zevra is running a Phase 3 trial (DiSCOVER) of celiprolol for Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, with 52 of a planned 150 patients enrolled as of December 31, 2025, and holds two additional Phase 3-ready candidates built on its serdexmethylphenidate prodrug for idiopathic hypersomnia and narcolepsy.

Zevra's own risk factors go beyond simply naming MIPLYFFA as the revenue leader: they state the company is highly dependent on this one product for substantially all of its revenue, and that because NPC's patient population is so small, even modest shifts in prescribing patterns, patient identification rates, or reimbursement decisions could have a disproportionate effect on results. That concentration is compounded by Zevra's decision to scale back sales and marketing for OLPRUVA while it evaluates strategic alternatives, meaning the company's near-term revenue diversification away from MIPLYFFA is moving in reverse rather than forward even as celiprolol and the KP1077 franchise remain years from potential approval.
