Karolinska Development AB (publ): Karolinska Development's portfolio company Pharmanest out-licenses Canadian rights for SHACT to Acerus Pharmaceuticals

STOCKHOLM, May 31, 2018. Karolinska Development's portfolio company Pharmanest AB has announced that it has entered into an exclusive agreement with Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation pertaining to the commercialization of Pharmanest's gynecological pain relief product SHACT (Short Acting Lidocaine product) in Canada.

The license agreement gives Pharmanest right to upfront and regulatory milestone payments upon Acerus receiving market approval in Canada, as well as milestone payments based on achievement of certain sales targets. Pharmanest will oversee the manufacturing of SHACT and will receive a tiered supply price for the product comprised of a percentage on net sales of the product.

"We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Acerus Pharmaceuticals, an emerging Canadian leader in women's health. We believe they have all the expertise and infrastructure required to make SHACT a commercial success in Canada," said Helena Jansson, CEO of Pharmanest.

Acerus intends to file a new drug submission with Health Canada in the first half of 2019. If approved, Acerus Chief Operating Officer Tricia Symmes expect SHACT to be commercialized in the first half of 2020.

SHACT is a patented and proprietary formulation of lidocaine for mucosal topical pain relief, where the lead indication is the treatment of pain during placement of intrauterine birth control devices ("IUD"). In Canada, over 220 000 IUDs were inserted in the twelve months ending June 2017. The market for IUDs has been steadily increasing with double-digit annual growth as more women opt for that method of contraception.
