ADMA Biologics ADMA markets plasma-derived biologics for the treatment of immune deficiencies and the prevention of certain infectious diseases.

ADMA’s lead product, Asceniv, is a plasma-derived Intravenous Immune Globulin that contains naturally occurring polyclonal antibodies. These antibodies are proteins used by the body’s immune system to neutralize microbes, such as bacteria and viruses, and prevent infection and disease.

Asceniv is indicated for the treatment of primary immunodeficiency disease or inborn errors of immunity in adults and adolescents. It is manufactured using ADMA’s unique, patented plasma donor screening methodology and tailored plasma pooling design, which blends normal source plasma with respiratory syncytial virus plasma obtained from donors tested using the company’s proprietary microneutralization assay.

Demand was record high in the first quarter. ADMA plans to file a supplemental Biologics License Application in mid-2025 for the expansion of Asceniv’s label to include the pediatric setting for patients who are two years and older.

A potential label expansion will increase the target patient population. An acceleration in new patient starts, a potential label expansion and further penetration in existing markets should significantly expand Asceniv's sales.
