From todays announcement:
leading Chinese pharmaceutical company, today announce that the companies have entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development and commercialisation of SUDA’s novel ZolpiMist™ oral spray of zolpidem tartrate to treat insomnia in China. Once approved by the Chinese Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), ZolpiMist would be the first imported fast-acting oral spray of zolpidem tartrate available in China. Under the terms of the agreement, SUDA receives an upfront cash payment of US$300,000 (approx. A$400,000) and is entitled to receive a further milestone payment of US$200,000 (approx. A$260,000) following registration of the product in China.
In addition, once Zolpimist is registered for sale in China, SUDA will receive escalating tiered royalties on net sales in the territory. The total value of the deal could exceed US$26 million (approx. A$34 million) based on Eddingpharm’s forecast sales for the first 15 years from launch. Under the terms of the agreement, Eddingpharm will assume responsibility for development, regulatory and commercialisation activities for ZolpiMist in China. SUDA will supply the product to Eddingpharm and both parties will work together through a Joint Governance Committee to maximise the commercial opportunity for ZolpiMist in China
