MC2 Partners with EPI for Commercialization of Wynzora
MC2 Therapeutics has entered a Collaboration Agreement with EPI Health, LLC on the commercialization of Wynzora Cream (calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate, w/w 0.005%/0.064%) in the US. Wynzora Cream was approvedby the FDA last month for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults, 18 years of age or older.
MC2 Therapeutics retains full ownership of Wynzora Cream under the Collaboration Agreement and MC2 Therapeutics and EPI Health will utilize their combined resources in an effort to make Wynzora Cream a leading patient preferred topical treatment of psoriasis in the US. EPI Health will utilize its commercial infrastructure to promote and sell Wynzora Cream in return of a share of net sales.
"The upcoming launch of Wynzora Cream, in the US, will bring an important new treatment experience to people with plaque psoriasis that will set a new standard. Wynzora Cream is an excellent example of how our PAD™ Technology can bring value to all key stakeholders: patients, physicians, and payers alike," says Jesper J. Lange, CEO of MC2 Therapeutics. "Since Phase 3 data read-out we have planned for a strong market entry and launch of Wynzora Cream in the US. We are very excited to have the opportunity to accelerate the roll-out through a partnership with EPI Health. Under the leadership of its President, John Donofrio, EPI Health has built a culture of excellence in commercialization of dermatological drugs. Combined with its strong commitment to Wynzora Cream and our shared corporate values - this is a timely and perfect match for Wynzora Cream, MC2 Therapeutics and EPI Health."
"We are excited to partner with MC2 Therapeutics on their journey to launch and commercialize Wynzora Cream in the US. The clinical profile of WynzoraCream and the treatment experience in daily routines are what patients have been waiting for and will also benefit physicians and payers. This collaboration emphasizes EPI Health’s commitment to the medical dermatology community," says John Donofrio, President of EPI Health and continued: “We share the vision of re-defining topical treatment of plaque psoriasis and the patient centric approach within chronic inflammatory skin conditions. Our teams have demonstrated similar cultures, values, and enthusiasm and we are committed to the trust MC2 Therapeutics has placed in EPI Health to collaborate on the successful commercialization of WynzoraCream."
MC2 Therapeutics is pursuing a global strategy to make the Wynzora Cream treatment experience available to as many patients as possible and has submitted its Marketing Authorization Application for Wynzora Cream in EU in June 2020.
