QRxPharma value assed as Actavis deal finalized

29 March 2012

Australian company QRxPharma (ASX: QRX) is moving rapidly towards the commercial phase for its lead product, MoxDuo IR, an immediate release fixed-ratio (3:2) combination of morphine and oxycodone for moderate-to-severe pain, note analysts at Edison Investment Research.

The drug is filed in the USA and has a June 25 PDUFA (approval) date. A third-quarter launch is targeted by Actavis, which will commercialize MoxDuo IR in the USA under a deal finalized last week, though first announced last year (The Pharma Letter December 21, 2011), say the Edison analysts. However, they note that speculation that Actavis is subject to a bid by Watson is creating some short-term uncertainty (TPL March 22).
