GMRx2 is an innovative single pill combination of three medicines, telmisartan, amlodipine and indapamide, for the treatment of hypertension, developed in three doses, including two doses that are lower than those currently available in single pill combinations. Its multi-mechanism approach and available doses are formulated to deliver the blood pressure-lowering benefits of a triple combination therapy early in the treatment pathway, with the safety pro established antihypertensive medications. Under the terms of the licensing agreement, George Medicines will receive an upfront licensing fee and is eligible for regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as a future recurring revenue stream through a stepped royalty rate on sales of GMRx2 in the licensed territory. In return, OEP is granted a license to exclusively commercialize GMRx2, supplied by George Medicines. OEP is responsible for seeking regulatory approval of GMRx2, with support from George Medicines. Mark Mallon, Chief Executive Officer of George Medicines, said: “ This exclusive licensing and supply agreement with Orient EuroPharma marks another important step in the global expansion of GMRx2, adding Southeast Asia to our growing network of partners across the US, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Central America and Brazil. Hypertension remains a major and growing health challenge across Southeast Asia, with high prevalence, and low control rates. GMRx2’s proven clinical efficacy, multiple dosing options, and established safety pro it well to address unmet need in hypertension management and we look forward to working with Orient EuroPharma to expand access to this important therapy across the region.” Calvin Tsai, Chief Executive Officer of Orient EuroPharma, said: “We are pleased to partner with George Medicines as part of the continued global expansion of GMRx2. This agreement reflects our shared commitment to improving cardiovascular outcomes and brings an innovative triple combination therapy to Southeast Asia. With our established regional presence and expertise in regulatory and commercial execution, we are well positioned to support the development and launch of GMRx2 and to help broaden patient access across Southeast Asia.” This agreement further strengthens George Medicines’ global commercialization strategy for GMRx2, following licensing and supply agreements with Azurity Pharmaceuticals in the US, Bausch Health in Canada, Mexico, Colombia and Central America, and Biolab Farmacêutica in Brazil. Together, these partnerships demonstrate growing global interest in GMRx2 and its potential to address unmet needs in hypertension treatment. Additional partnerships are anticipated as part of George Medicines’ commitment to bringing the benefits of GMRx2 to patients worldwide.

Ends About GMRx2 GMRx2 is a combination tablet of telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker and indapamide, a thiazide-like diuretic, available in three dosage forms – 10/1.25/0.625 mg; 20/2.5/1.25 mg and 40/5/2.5 mg. Its development is backed by a comprehensive clinical program, including two pivotal Phase III studies, published in 2024 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and The Lancet . In these trials the triple combination demonstrated significantly reduced blood pressure (BP) and improved BP control rates, when compared against dual therapy and against placebo. In both trials, tolerability was good, with no increase in withdrawal from treatment due to adverse events. GMRx2 was investigated in the Nigerian VERONICA trial , which compared the triple combination with standard of care and reported better BP lowering among those receiving GMRx2, with good tolerability compared to the standard of care protocol. A global trial investigating the potential of GMRx2 for the prevention of stroke in people who have had intracerebral hemorrhage (the most severe type of stroke) is ongoing.
