Ligand Pharmaceuticals: Ligand Partner Pelthos Therapeutics Launches ZELSUVMI

JUPITER, Fla., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq: LGND) today announced that its partner Pelthos Therapeutics Inc. (NYSE American: PTHS) has commercially launched ZELSUVMI (berdazimer) topical gel 10.3%, the first and only FDA-approved at-home treatment for molluscum contagiosum. The Company has earned a $5 million milestone payment from Pelthos following the commercial launch of ZELSUVMI.

"Molluscum impacts millions of people in the U.S., particularly children. We are thrilled to see that ZELSUVMI is now commercially available as it addresses a significant unmet need for these patients as the first at-home treatment for this highly contagious viral skin condition," said Todd Davis, CEO of Ligand. "This milestone payment highlights the ongoing progress and significant value of our partnered programs as well as the strength of our business model, which is built on innovation, strategic collaboration, and long-term value creation for our shareholders."

Following the completion of the merger between Pelthos Therapeutics and Channel Therapeutics in July 2025, Ligand now owns 56% of Pelthos. Additionally, under the terms of the license agreement with Pelthos, Ligand is entitled to a 13% royalty on worldwide sales of ZELSUVMI and up to an additional $5 million in commercial sales milestones.

ZELSUVMI (berdazimer) topical gel, 10.3% is a nitric oxide (NO) releasing agent indicated for the topical treatment of molluscum contagiosum in adults and pediatric patients one year of age and older. ZELSUVMI received a novel drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2024 and is the first and only approved topical prescription medication that can be applied by patients, parents, or caregivers at home, outside of a physician's office, or other medical setting to treat this highly contagious viral skin infection. The product was developed using the proprietary nitric oxide-based technology platform, NITRICIL, now owned by Ligand. Complete prescribing information and important safety information is available at www.zelsuvmi.com.

In unserem kostenlosen Spezialreport erfahren Sie, welche 3 Unternehmen jetzt im Zentrum dieser energiepolitischen Neuausrichtung stehen, und wer vom kommenden Boom der Nuklearindustrie besonders profitieren könnte.
