Shane Schaffer, Cingulate Chairman & CEO to Present “SMART Launch” Approach at Indegene Digital Summit: Rethinking Commercialization for Emerging Pharma
Cingulate Chairman and CEO Shane Schaffer and Chief Commercial Officer Bryan Downey will participate in two sessions at the Indegene Digital Summit on September 22, 2026, at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
Schaffer joins 'The SMART Launch' panel on how emerging pharma companies can retain ownership and strategic control of their assets while accessing external partner capabilities, positioning it as a more capital-efficient alternative to building large internal commercial infrastructure or licensing assets to larger drugmakers.
The appearance comes as Cingulate prepares for potential commercialization of its lead ADHD asset CTx-1301; the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter for the NDA on June 1, 2026, and the company says it is completing requested CMC work and plans to resubmit, though timing is not assured.
Cingulate sizes the US ADHD market at roughly 100 million annual prescriptions, with over 20 million diagnosed patients, and notes adult ADHD prevalence is larger and growing faster than child and adolescent segments combined.
