Tetra Bio-Pharma Creates the ENJOUCA Business Unit

OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 3, 2021 / Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. ("Tetra" or the "Company") (TSX:TBP)(OTCQB:TBPMF), a biopharmaceutical pioneer in immunomodulator drug discovery and development announced today the creation of a wholly-owned subsidiary called ENJOUCA.

Jurisdictions differ greatly in terms of regulatory requirements surrounding medical cannabis, which means that in some territories, QIXLEEF can be commercialized as a medical cannabis product. As a result, Tetra's strategy is to launch QIXLEEF under the trademark, ENJOUCA as a medical cannabis product within those territories using its robust clinical package.

ENJOUCA branded products will be distributed through existing medical cannabis channels.

For other jurisdictions, QIXLEEF will remain a prescription drug product and commercialized to the major global markets. As a prescription drug, QIXLEEF will be available by prescription only, through pharmacies.

Dania Scott, Tetra's Senior Vice President Commercial Strategy, will manage the ENJOUCA business unit, reporting to Steeve Néron, Tetra's Chief Commercial Officer.

"Tetra needed to strategically create distance between QIXLEEF and ENJOUCA. These brands will command different commercial execution, from a supply, reimbursement, and promotional activity standpoint, due to different regulatory requirements. What is very positive is that we will be able to launch ENJOUCA in Canada during the second half of 2021. Patients and healthcare professionals will finally have a cannabinoid therapeutic option that is supported by strong evidence" said Dania Scott, ENJOUCA Managing Director.
