Item 8.01 Other Events

During the week of August 7, 2017, Cumberland began shipments of Cardioxane® (dexrazoxane hydrochloride, injection) which is used to support oncology patients. These shipments are under a special, expedited clearance from the FDA to address the national shortage of dexrazoxane in the U.S.  Cumberland intends to make Cardioxane available in the U.S. through the end of 2017, until the current dexrazoxane drug shortage is alleviated.

Cardioxane is a branded form of dexrazoxane hydrochloride, indicated for the cardiac complications associated with treatments for breast cancer. Cumberland is distributing Cardioxane through its Strategic Alliance with the Clinigen Group plc who is providing the product and has been selling it in several markets outside the U.S.
