PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ergomed's co-development partner Aeterna Zentaris, Inc. announces a fourth licensing agreement for Zoptrex(TM), this time with Specialised Therapeutics Asia for Australia and New Zealand
London, UK - 14 October 2016: Ergomed plc (LSE: ERGO) ('Ergomed' or 'the Company'), a profitable UK-based group dedicated to the provision of specialised services to the pharmaceutical industry and the development of new drugs, announces that its co-development partner, Aeterna Zentaris, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEZS, TSX:AEZ), has signed an additional licensing agreement for Zoptrex(TM).
On 12 October 2016, Aeterna Zentaris signed an exclusive license agreement with Specialised Therapeutics Asia ("STA") for its lead anti-cancer compound, Zoptrex(TM), for the territories of Australia and New Zealand for an upfront payment plus milestones and royalties. In line with Ergomed's co-development agreement with Aeterna Zentaris, the Company will receive a portion of all revenues generated from the commercialisation of the product.
Zoptrex(TM), a novel synthetic peptide carrier linked to doxorubicin, is currently in a fully-enrolled Phase 3 clinical trial in endometrial cancer. Aeterna Zentaris will, if the results of the trial warrant doing so, submit a new drug application for Zoptrex(TM) to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2017. Zoptrex(TM) is the proposed tradename for zoptarelin doxorubicin. The proposed tradename is subject to approval by the FDA.
Dr. Miroslav Reljanovic, Chief Executive Officer of Ergomed, said:
"This licensing agreement for Australia and New Zealand adds another two territories to the overall coverage now for Zoptrex(TM) and demonstrates the value of our co-development business. In line with our strategy to expand our co-development business, we also recently announced a new partnership which together with this licensing agreement, further validates our hybrid business model."
This statement is not regarded as disclosure of price sensitive information and the Company's guidance for the Group's financial performance remains unchanged.
