Orchid Pharma Signs Licensing and Supply Agreement with Pharmasyntez to
Commercialize Exblifep® (Cefepime/Enmetazobactam) in Russia
Orchid Pharma Ltd. (Orchid) and Pharmasyntez JSC (Pharmasyntez) have entered into a
licensing and supply agreement for Exblifep® (cefepime/enmetazobactam), a novel
combination antibiotic for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) and
hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HAP/VAP) caused by Gram-
negative bacterial pathogens, subject to regulatory approval by the Ministry of Health of the
Russian Federation.
Exblifep is a carbapenem-sparing antibiotic developed to address the growing clinical
challenge posed by ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria in serious hospital infections. The
product is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European
Medicines Agency (EMA), is included in IDSA and EUCAST treatment guidelines, and is the
first new chemical entity originating from an Indian pharmaceutical company to receive both
approvals.
Under the agreement, Pharmasyntez will hold the exclusive rights to register and
commercialize Exblifep in Russia, with Orchid supplying the finished dosage form. The
partnership represents a potential opportunity of approximately USD 178 million over
the first 10 years, reflecting the scale of unmet clinical need and the significant hospital
procurement volumes in the Russian market.
"Our partnership with Pharmasyntez marks an important step in making Exblifep available to
patients in Russia. Pharmasyntez's deep reach into the Russian hospital procurement system
makes them the right partner to ensure this medicine gets to the clinicians and patients who
need it." — Manish Dhanuka, Managing Director, Orchid Pharma Ltd.
“Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most significant challenges facing modern medicine,
making the development of new antibiotics critical. Orchid Pharma has met this challenge by
developing the novel antibiotic Exblifep® (cefepime/enmetazobactam). This licensing
agreement with Pharmasyntez enables Russian patients to gain access to modern antibacterial
therapy.” said Natalia Malykh, Vice President of Business Development at the
Pharmasyntez group.
