Galantamine Hydrobromide

Agreement drives continued patient access to four important therapies in Japan and Korea Strengthens Essential Pharma and Clinigen’s combined market presence in the JAPAC region 6th February 2025 – Essential Pharma (“Essential” or “the Company”), an international specialty pharma group focused on ensuring that patients have access to low volume, clinically differentiated, niche pharmaceutical products across key therapeutic areas, and Clinigen, the global specialty pharmaceutical services group, today announced an expansion of their JAPAC collaboration, aimed at driving continued patient access to four therapies in Japan and Korea, and strengthening their combined market presence in the region. This expanded collaboration encompasses several new market authorisation transfer and exclusive distribution agreements. Building on their 2024 agreement for IOPIDINE® (apraclonidine) in Korea, Essential Pharma and Clinigen now extend this to Japan. New agreements establish market authorisation transfer and exclusive distribution for HALDOL® (haloperidol) and REMINYL® (galantamine) oral capsules in Korea, and for HALOMONTH® (haloperidol decanoate) in Japan. IOPIDINE 5mg/ml is a short-term adjunctive therapy for patients with chronic glaucoma on maximally tolerated medical therapy to prevent or control intraocular pressure. HALDOL and HALOMONTH are antipsychotic drugs that contain haloperidol and are used in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychiatric conditions including schizoaffective disorder. Haloperidol is included in the 2023 World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines1. REMINYL, a cholinesterase inhibitor, is a central nervous system (CNS) drug used to treat symptomatic mild to moderately severe dementia of the Alzheimer type. Essential Pharma CEO Emma Johnson and Clinigen CEO Jerome Charton held a ceremonial signing event yesterday. While initially focused on ensuring continuity of patient access in the JAPAC region, both organisations envision further strategic partnering, supporting Essential Pharma's goal to build on its diversified portfolio and late-stage pipeline focused on central nervous system, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and rare disease, and leveraging Clinigen's rare disease and orphan drug expertise, to improve access to innovative medicines for patients globally. Emma Johnson, CEO of Essential Pharma, says: “Essential Pharma is delighted to expand our relationship with Clinigen as we continue to execute our strategy to become a leading, global specialty pharma group with a growing rare disease presence. Clinigen’s expertise in providing access to established brands as well as their expertise in the rare disease and orphan drug space makes them the ideal partner as we broaden access to our therapies and reinforce our strategic foothold in JAPAC. Guided by our shared patient-centric values, this collaboration represents a significant step forward in our commitment to serving patients in the JAPAC region and beyond.” Jerome Charton, CEO of Clinigen, says: “Our biggest achievements are marked by expanding patient access to much-needed medicines. While we are seeing the expansion of life sciences, R&D and clinical trials, population health is also becoming increasingly complex, and it is pertinent that patients do not feel the impact. With our trusted and equally motivated partner, Essential Pharma, Clinigen will further our mission to accelerate access to innovative medicines for patients worldwide.” Essential Pharma is an international specialty pharmaceutical group dedicated to maintaining access to clinically differentiated, niche, branded medicines across multiple therapeutic areas.
