“The filing of an ANDA for this product, one of several products being co-developed in a partnership between IntelGenx and Insud Pharma, marks the achievement of a major milestone and serves to help demonstrate the strength of our collaboration,” Dr. Horst Zerbe, IntelGenx’s president and CEO, said in a statement.

Under the accord, Insud Pharma has obtained certain exclusive rights to market and sell the IntelGenx generic buccal film product, which comprises a novel formulation based on IntelGenx’s VersaFilm technology, in exchange for upfront and milestone payments, together with a share of the profits of commercialization after the product is approved.
