Paris-headquartered Onxeo (Euronext Paris: ONXEO) has divested two legacy products, Sitavig (acyclovir) and Loramyc (miconazole), to another French firm, privately-held Vectans Pharma.

Onxeo, which developed Sitavig and Loramyc for the treatment of labial herpes and oropharyngeal candidiasis, respectively, said the products are “no longer at the heart of our strategy, dedicated to the development of innovative drugs in orphan oncology.”

The products have already been licensed to several international distributors and have reached various development stages, from ongoing registration to market authorization and commercialization.
