DBP International: Signed a collaboration partnership agreement with Alexavi for commercialization of Temodex®
Double Bond Pharmaceutical International AB (publ) (“DBP” or “Double Bond”) has entered into a collaborative partnership with Alexavi Ltd (“Alexavi”). This is a major step in Double Bond’s development process and marks the company’s commitment to move forward towards approval and commercialisation of Temodex® program, for the treatment of Glioblastoma. This collaboration will open up accessibility to a ground-breaking treatment paradigm in this therapeutic area.
Alexavi will be managing an Early Access to Treatment program on behalf of Double Bond to raise awareness of the treatment’s availability to physicians and patients across the globe.
Glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive malignant form of all primary brain tumours, affects glial cells and accounts for 52% of all brain tissue tumour cases and 20% of all tumours inside the skull. Approximately 250,000 patients with Glioblastomas are identified globally each year.
The current standard of care is surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy. Double Bond’s Temodex® is a chemotherapy drug administered directly at the site of the tumour following surgical removal, in the form of a gel, thus ensuring that the therapeutic effect is felt precisely where it is needed. Temozolomide is a prodrug which destroys the tumour’s DNA and triggers the death of tumour cells.
Double Bond Pharmaceutical acquired Orphan Drug Designation for Temodex® (Temozolomide gel) from the European Medicines Agency in 2016. Whilst developing their own form of this product further (currently known as SI-053), they are making this available to physicians across the globe.
