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.

About BioAlliance Pharma SA
BioAlliance Pharma SA is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of opportunistic infections in cancer and HIV.

The company has launched its first portfolio product (Loramyc®) in France and the compound is currently in Phase III clinical development in oropharyngeal candidiasis in the USA. In addition, two other innovative products are currently in Phase III clinical trials: acyclovir Lauriad® in oral herpes (based on the same Lauriad® muco-adhesive technology as Loramyc®, which enables targeted release at the disease site) and doxorubicin Transdrug® in primary liver cancer (based on the Transdrug® nanoparticle technology, designed specifically for intracellular targeting of resistant cells). The company is also developing a new therapeutic entities program focused on the oncology and HIV markets.

In 2007, the company has established strategic alliances for commercializing Loramyc® in Europe (with JV SpeBio) and the USA (with Par Pharmaceutical).
