ProStrakan partners with NewBridge for Sancuso

10 November 2008

Galashiels, Scotland-based ProStrakan has signed an exclusive licence and supply agreement with United Arab Emirates-based NewBridge Pharmaceuticals for Sancuso, ProStrakan's novel, patent protected transdermal patch for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting for the Middle East and Africa.

Under the terms of the agreement, covering 59 countries across the Middle East and Africa, ProStrakan will receive undisclosed upfront and milestone payments, subject to the achievement of certain approvals and sales targets. NewBridge will be required to purchase Sancuso directly from ProStrakan at a pre-agreed price. In September, ProStrakan received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for Sancuso and the product was launched in the USA this week.
