US biopharma Titan Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TTNP) has clocked up a third major market approval for an opioid dependence substitutional treatment that it developed.

Marketed as Probuphine (buprenorphine) since 2016 in the USA, the implant will be branded as Sixmo in the European Union (EU), where it has just been approved.

The product will be commercialized in Europe by Italian firm L Molteni & C, which also bought the marketing rights for certain countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East and North Africa.
