The LOI covers the distribution and marketing of AcuCort's product Zeqmelit® in six European countries: Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals is a well-established player in the pharmaceutical industry with a strong presence in several key markets. With operations in over 80 countries, the company represents a strategically important partner for AcuCort.
According to the LOI, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals will be responsible for the commercialisation of Zeqmelit® in the following six European countries: Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
"This agreement covers a total population of more than 160 million people. Launching Zeqmelit® in Germany not only represents significant commercial potential, but also strengthens our position in ongoing discussions with other prospective partners," says Jonas Jönmark, CEO of AcuCort, and continues:
"Our strategy of using the successful launch in the Nordic region as a springboard for further expansion is now bearing fruit. I look forward to announcing additional important partnerships in the future."
The parties intend to finalise negotiations and enter into a definitive commercial agreement during 2025. The signed Letter of Intent confirms the mutual agreement on the key terms and conditions for a future binding commercial agreement.
Zeqmelit® was launched in Sweden, Norway, and Finland in autumn 2024. During spring 2025, additional orders have been placed for the Nordic market, including a new order for Denmark.
