About Aeterna Zentaris Inc.
Aeterna Zentaris Inc. is a specialty
biopharmaceutical company commercializing and developing
therapeutics and diagnostic tests. The Company’s lead product,
macimorelin, is the first and only U.S. FDA and European Commission
approved oral test indicated for the diagnosis of adult growth
hormone deficiency (AGHD). Macimorelin is currently marketed in the
United States under the tradename Macrilen™ through a license
agreement with Novo Nordisk where Aeterna receives royalties on net
sales. According to a commercialization and supply agreement,
MegaPharm Ltd. will seek regulatory approval and then commercialize
macimorelin in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Additionally,
upon receipt of pricing and reimbursement approvals, Aeterna
expects that macimorelin will be marketed in Europe and the United
Kingdom through a recently established license agreement with
Consilient Health Ltd. and Aeterna will receive royalties on net
sales and other potential payments.
The Company is also leveraging the clinical
success and compelling safety profile of macimorelin to develop it
for the diagnosis of childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency
(CGHD), an area of significant unmet need.
The Company is actively pursuing business
development opportunities for the commercialization of macimorelin
in Asia and the rest of the world, in addition to other
non-strategic assets to monetize their value. For more information,
