NovaMedica and Pharmsynthez agreed to establish full-cycle manufacturing of several in-demand products in Russia

17 June 2019

Moscow-Saint Petersburg, June 17, 2019 – Russian pharmaceutical companies NovaMedica and Pharmsynthez started implementing a joint project to ensure access to a number of effective products, with the full manufacturing cycle localized in Russia, for Russian patients within 1.5-2 years. The products are in the anesthesiology and gastroenterology therapeutic areas, intended for both the hospital and commercial markets.

As part of the cooperation, Pharmsynthez will perform the full set of research and engineering activities to create a synthesis technology for three active pharmaceutical ingredients, and NovaMedica will develop finished dosage forms on their basis at its own R&D center NovaMedica Innotech and ensure the manufacturing.

“Our objective is to introduce to the Russian market effective state-of-the-art drug products at the most affordable price possible. It is important that one of these products will appear in our market for the first time; Russian patients are really looking forward to it”, emphasizes Vice President of NovaMedica Rustam Iksanov.

“The combination of our competences creates ideal conditions for the achievement of our common strategic goal: to ensure that Russian patients have access to effective drug products manufactured in Russia. We know how carefully NovaMedica approached the task of selecting a partner for this project, also considering some of the biggest foreign enterprises, which is why we are proud that the final choice was in favor of our expertise, professionalism and technological capacities. On our part, we hope that this project will be the first step in a long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation between our companies”, says Director General of Pharmsynthez PJSC Petr Kruglyakov.
