15 October 2014

Japanese drugmaker Kyorin Pharmaceutical and R-Pharm, one of Russia’s largest pharmaceutical producers, have reached a basic agreement for activities in Russia and neighboring nations related to the development and marketing of Kyorin’s imidafenacin, a treatment for overactive bladder (OAB).

Under the terms of the agreement, Kyorin grants R-Pharm exclusive rights to activities related to the development and marketing of imidafenacin in Russia and neighboring nations. Imidafenacin is a novel anticholinergic agent that acts as a selective antagonist on M3 and M1 muscarinic subtype receptors to improve the urgency of urination, pollakiuria and urge urinary incontinence associated with OAB.
