Esteve Pharmaceuticals, S.A. will commercialize Increlex in all markets outside the U.S.
DEER PARK, Ill., April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc (“Eton” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ETON), an innovative pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing treatments for rare diseases, today announced the out-licensing of commercial rights to Increlex® in territories outside of the U.S. to Esteve Pharmaceuticals, S.A. (“Esteve”).
“Esteve shares Eton’s dedication to putting patients first and we’re excited to partner with them to distribute this important treatment outside of the U.S. Esteve has the global infrastructure and established presence necessary to successfully commercialize Increlex in countries outside the U.S. This transaction will allow Eton to focus its efforts on the Company’s compelling growth opportunities within the U.S., including its three rare disease product launches planned for 2025, and eliminates the need for significant infrastructure investments that would have been required to commercialize Increlex outside the U.S.,” said Sean Brynjelsen, CEO of Eton Pharmaceuticals.
Esteve will license the ex-U.S. rights for up to ten years and will also be receiving an option to acquire the international rights in the future. Eton will supply product to Esteve at a fixed transfer price, and the transaction does not impact the Company’s expectation to exit 2025 at an approximately $80 million annual revenue run rate.
