Recipharm and Laccure agree commercial collaboration
The new product, Laccure Pessary, will be manufactured, packaged and distributed globally from Recipharm’s facility in Karlskoga that specialises in the production of semi-solid products.
Recipharm is entering into a collaboration with Laccure for the commercial manufacture and delivery of Laccure Pessary.
The new product, which has been developed to help women suffering from bacterial vaginosis, will be manufactured, packaged and distributed globally from Recipharm’s facility in Karlskoga that specialises in the production of semi-solid products
.Over the past years, Laccure Ahas successfully taken the product from innovation through clinical studies to commercial manufacturing. The development work was focused on creating a highly effective antibiotic-free product that was also user-friendly in terms of being easy to apply and not messy to use.
Recipharm and Laccure have now signed an agreement for commercial production of Laccure Pessary and the exact date for the launch will be announced next year.
Laccure is a project company within the life science development organisation Partners for Development Investments in Life Sciences (P.U.L.S.). As it prepares for launch, the owner is endeavouring to sell the company to a buyer with the substantial resources required to bring the product to market.
Jeanette Robertsson, CEO of Laccure, said: “We are delighted to be collaborating with Recipharm, they are an expert partner that we can rely on for the commercial supply of our new product.
“Given the potential market for the product, a major benefit of partnering with Recipharm is that they have a high level of production capacity, which of course gives us the possibility to further scale up the batch size to meet market requirements in the future.”
It is estimated that more than 300 million women throughout the world suffer from bacterial vaginosis every year, however, there are currently no effective and safe products available that are also user-friendly and can be used with low-frequency dosages.
Laccure Pessary is based on a patented substance that releases lactic acid, and only needs to be administered once to treat a bacterial vaginosis infection and then once a month to prevent a recurrence.
Ingela Palmkvist, General Manager at Recipharm in Karlskoga, said: “We are really looking forward to the commercial launch of this product, and contributing to something that will make a major difference to the lives of many women across the globe.”
