Diurnal adds it has entered into an agreement for the marketing and distribution of Alkindi in Switzerland with an unnamed commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on prescription medications for niche and orphan indications. Under the terms of the agreement, Diurnal's partner will receive the exclusive rights to market and sell Alkindi in Switzerland and will submit the drug for marketing authorisation in Switzerland during 2020
"These two additional marketing and distribution agreements for Alkindi and additional one for Chronocort further validate the quality of our products and immediately broaden the future availability of Alkindi in Europe. Both of our new partners are well-placed to distribute our products in their respective markets, and we believe that our strategy and global ambitions are aligned with them through these collaborations," said Diurnal Chief Executive Martin Whitaker.
