ASX Announcement
MAYNE PHARMA ACQUIRES RIGHTS TO GENERIC DURAGESIC[®] PATCH FOR THE US
9 March 2017, Adelaide, South Australia
-
Mayne Pharma Group Limited (ASX: MYX) adds fentanyl transdermal delivery system (TDS) to its US generic product portfolio
-
The deal strengthens alliance with Corium International, Inc. (Corium), a new strategic partnership established following the acquisition of a portfolio of US generic products from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (Teva Portfolio) in August 2016
Mayne Pharma is pleased to announce it has acquired the rights to the fentanyl transdermal delivery system (TDS), 25 mcg/hr, 50 mcg/hr, 75 mcg/hr and 100 mcg/hr from Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Par). This product was developed by Corium, a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and manufacture of transdermal and transmucosal delivery systems.
Fentanyl TDS is an AB-rated generic equivalent to Duragesic®, indicated for the management of pain in opioid-tolerant patients, severe enough to require daily treatment. Mayne Pharma has assumed Par’s manufacturing and supply agreement with Corium, acquired select inventory and the rights to market the product in the US from today. According to IMS Health, the annual market sales for the fentanyl patch were approximately US$560 million for the 12 months ending 31 December 2016.
Mayne Pharma’s CEO, Mr Scott Richards, said “We are very pleased to have partnered with Corium on another complex, difficult-to-develop and manufacture product. The US transdermal patch market is valued at more than US$3.3 billion and is a well-regarded advanced drug delivery system that can better control drug release and can also lead to improved patient convenience and compliance.”
“Mayne Pharma’s first marketed patch was Clonidine, indicated for the treatment of hypertension and is one of Mayne Pharma’s top five generic products by sales. Our alliance with Corium now includes two marketed and one pipeline product that is filed with the US Food and Drug Administration and reinforces one of the key strategic benefits of the Teva Portfolio acquisition to access a pipeline of new product opportunities through leveraging relationships with active pharamceutical ingredient suppliers and contract development and manufacturing companies.”
