BioAlliance Pharma Receives Market Approval for Loramyc® in the United Kingdom and Denmark

PARIS, France | Posted on January 9th, 2008

The grant of the Marketing Authorisation in the UK represents an important milestone for BioAlliance Pharma especially with the payment of €2.5 million by its partner SpePharm, according to the terms of the agreement signed in March 2007, which led to the creation of the SpeBio JV for the distribution of Loramyc® in Europe.

"We are delighted of this European success which confirms the quality and the efficiency of our development and regulatory teams and experts. Currently being launched in France, Loramyc® will be present on the European market in 2008 as planned. The other main European countries should grant their Marketing Authorisation for Loramyc® in the very near future", stated Dominique Costantini Chief Executive Officer.
