Ferring acquires global rights to Milprosa from Teva
Privately-held Switzerland-based Ferring Pharmaceuticals has acquired the global rights to Milprosa (progesterone vaginal ring) from Teva Women’s Health, a US subsidiary of Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE: TEVA).
Milprosa has the potential to be the first once-weekly progesterone treatment for luteal phase support in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment if approved by regulatory authorities in the USA. Milprosa is a soft, flexible silicone-based vaginal ring designed to deliver a daily 11mg dose of progesterone over the course of one week.
“Ferring is a leader in infertility and Milprosa, if approved, would enhance our broad treatment portfolio in this area. Equally important to Ferring is that Milprosa would offer a weekly treatment regimen for patients and a new treatment option for doctors,” said Michel Pettigrew, president of the Ferring executive board and chief operating officer.
