The primary focus of Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. is on developing advanced, differentiated products for the treatment of pain. The company is known for its unique and proprietary DETERx technology platform, which is designed to provide extended-release delivery, enabling patients with difficulty swallowing to still be able to take their medication by sprinkling it onto food.
Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. flagship product is Xtampza ER (oxycodone), an abuse-deterrent, extended-release oral formulation of oxycodone approved by FDA.

Its uniqueness lies in the patent-protected DETERx technology that maintains the extended-release and steady analgesic effects and its ability to resist methods of manipulation commonly associated with opioid abuse, such as chewing, crushing or dissolving.
In addition to Xtampza ER, other products in Collegium's portfolio include Nucynta ER (tapentadol extended-release tablets), a strong analgesic for controlling chronic pain in adults, and Nucynta (tapentadol), an immediate-release variant for controlling acute pain in adults.
