Recipharm and LobSor team up on Lecigon manufacturing in Parkinson's

8 September 2015

Swedish pharma companies Recipharm and LobSor have formed a manufacturing agreement for Lecigon, a treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease.

Recipharm will have exclusive manufacturing rights for volumes representing the first three years of commercial sales, and will also support development costs against a markup on manufacturing prices, up to a certain volume, when Lecigon is produced for commercial sale. The agreement is a follow-on to an established collaboration between LobSor and Recipharm for the development and the manufacturing of batches for the recently-completed clinical trial.

Carl-Johan Spak, executive vice president of development and technology, Recipharm, said: “We are extremely pleased to have developed our collaborative partnership with LobSor Pharmaceuticals and to have signed an agreement for the future commercial manufacturing of Lecigon, especially as this is a new, innovative drug, which we believe provides a clear benefit to patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease.”
