COSCIENS Biopharma Inc. COSCIENS Biopharma Inc., formerly Aeterna Zentaris Inc. Aeterna Zentaris Inc., operates as a specialty biopharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes a diversified portfolio of pharmaceutical products, diagnostic tests, and active ingredients derived from renewable plant resources for the healthcare, cosmetics, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries; its core offerings include macimorelin (marketed as Macrilen in the U.S. and Ghryvelin in Europe), the first and only FDA- and European Commission-approved oral diagnostic test for adult growth hormone deficiency, alongside proprietary natural extracts such as oat beta glucan for skin moisture barrier replenishment, wound healing, cholesterol reduction, blood sugar control, and gut health; oat avenanthramides in liquid and superfine powder forms to soothe itchy skin, reduce redness and inflammation linked to exercise, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis; and oat oil rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and emollients to enhance skin barrier function, hydration, and softness for cosmetics and hair products. The company targets endocrinology and oncology therapeutic areas, as well as cosmeceutical and nutraceutical markets served by leading skincare brands like Aveeno and Burt’s Bees, with global operations spanning North America, Europe, and production facilities leveraging green extraction technologies from plant sources. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, with additional offices in Québec City, Canada, and Frankfurt, Germany, COSCIENS maintains listings on NASDAQ and TSX. In recent developments, the company completed an all-stock merger of equals with Ceapro Inc. in June 2024, integrating Ceapro’s plant-based extraction capabilities to diversify revenue streams and support pipeline advancement; it changed its name from Aeterna Zentaris Inc. to COSCIENS Biopharma Inc. effective August 6, 2024, with trading symbol shifting from AEZS to CSCI on both exchanges starting August 9, 2024; and continues to pursue out-licensing and partnerships for macimorelin commercialization, including prior deals in European markets.
