Orchid Pharma Expands Exblifep® (CefepimelEnmetazobactam) into Latin America
through Licensing and Supply Agreement with Libra
Orchid Pharma Ltd. (Orchid) and Libra (Libra) have signed a licensing and supply agreement
covering Exblifep® (cefepime/enrnetazobactam) across nine Latin American markets.
Exblifep is a novel antibiotic combination indicated for complicated urinary tract infections
(cUTI) and hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HAP/VAP)
caused by Gram-negative pathogens. Commercialization in each market is subject to approval
by the relevant national regulatory authority.
Designed as a carbapenem-sparing option, Exblifep targets serious hospital infections driven
by ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria. It holds approvals from both the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), features in the IDSA
and EUCAST treatment guidelines, and is the first new chemical entity invented by an Indian
pharmaceutical company to secure both approvals.
Libra receives exclusive rights to register, import, and market Exblifep in Chile, Costa Rica,
Ecuador, EI Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Uruguay, while Orchid
manufactures and supplies the finished dosage form. Over the first 10 years, the partnership
is expected to represent a potential commercial opportunity of approximately USD 80
million, based on projected demand across these markets.
"Extending Exblifep into Latin America is a priority for Orchid, and Libra is well placed to
lead its introduction across these markets. Together, we aim to give clinicians in the region a
new option for treating serious Gram-negative hospital infections." - Manish Dhanuka,
Managing Director, Orchid Pharma Ltd.
"We are honoured to partner with Orchid Pharma to bring Exblifep to Latin America,
expanding access to an innovative therapeutic option for patients across the region while
contributing to the response to the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance. "- Carlos
Scherschener, CEO, Laboratorio Libra S.A.
