PharmaMar licenses Aplidin to TTY Biopharm for Taiwan

23 July 2015

PharmaMar, a part of Spain’s Grupo Zeltia (ZEL: MC), has entered into an exclusive license and commercialization agreement with TTY Biopharm to market and distribute the drug candidate Aplidin (plitidepsin) in Taiwan.

Under the terms of the accord, PharmaMar will receive an undisclosed upfront payment, royalties and additional remunerations for regulatory milestones achieved by Aplidin. PharmaMar will retain exclusive production rights and will supply the finished product to TTY Biopharm for commercial use.

Aplidin is PharmaMar´s second anticancer drug candidate obtained from a marine organism and is currently under development for the treatment of multiple myeloma and a type of T cell lymphoma. The company announced in June that patient recruitment of the international pivotal Phase III trial (ADMYRE) for Aplidin (plitidepsin) in refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma was successfully completed.
