Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. reports developments as a commercial-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on PEDMARK® (sodium thiosulfate injection), a therapy used to reduce the risk of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in pediatric patients with localized, non-metastatic solid tumors. The company also markets the product in Europe and the United Kingdom under the PEDMARQSI® name and has disclosed a licensing arrangement for commercialization in additional non-U.S. markets.
Recurring news themes include PEDMARK product sales and financial results, commercialization updates, scientific abstracts, investigator-sponsored and real-world studies in cancer patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy, product exclusivity and patent matters, and equity compensation actions under Nasdaq rules.
Fennec Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: FENC) announced the commercial launch of PEDMARQSI in Germany through Norgine Pharmaceuticals. PEDMARQSI is the first and only approved therapy in the EU and UK for preventing hearing loss caused by cisplatin chemotherapy in pediatric cancer patients aged 1 month to 18 years with localized, non-metastatic solid tumors.The launch follows a March 2024 exclusive licensing agreement with Norgine for Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Fennec received $43 million upfront and could receive up to $230 million in additional milestone payments, plus double-digit tiered royalties starting in mid-teens and growing to mid-twenties.
Clinical trials demonstrated that PEDMARQSI reduced cisplatin-induced hearing loss by approximately 50% compared to cisplatin alone. The drug received European Commission marketing authorization in June 2023 under PUMA, with 10 years of data and market protection.
Fennec Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:FENC) announced that PEDMARQSI® has received a positive recommendation from NICE for use in England and Wales. The drug is the first and only treatment available within NHS for preventing cisplatin-induced hearing loss in children and young people aged 1 month to 17 years.
Two Phase 3 trials demonstrated approximately 50% reduction in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity compared to cisplatin alone. This addresses a significant unmet need as there were no previous preventative treatments available.
The announcement follows Fennec's March 2024 licensing agreement with Norgine Pharmaceuticals for commercialization in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The deal included a $43 million upfront payment and potential additional payments up to $230 million, plus double-digit tiered royalties starting in mid-teens.
