Russian approval for Norgine/Takeda's MoviPrep

28 October 2014

Netherlands-headquartered independent drugmaker Norgine says that its partner, Japan’s largest pharma company Takeda Pharmaceutical (TYO: 4502), has received approval in Russia for MoviPrep (2L polyethylene glycol + ascorbate) for bowel cleansing prior to any clinical procedures requiring a clean bowel.

MoviPrep was originally developed by Norgine. It is available in Europe through Norgine’s own infrastructure and in Eastern Europe, the USA, India, Japan and Canada via partners.

Takeda acquired the commercialisation rights for MoviPrep in 2011 for the Russian Federation and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The payment milestone linked with this approval is not disclosed.
