  • Market launch planned for 2027/2028 with medium-term sales potential of more than EUR 7.0 million p.a. in Germany alone

Monheim am Rhein, 8 May 2023. APONTIS PHARMA AG (Ticker APPH / ISIN DE000A3CMGM5), a leading pharmaceutical company specializing in Single Pills in the German market, is keeping up the high pace in expanding its Single Pill portfolio. In a further partnership with the Czech company Zentiva Group, one of the largest European generics manufacturers, a Single Pill is to be developed with a combination of two leading active ingredients for the treatment of high blood pressure (arterial hypertension). APONTIS PHARMA will hold the EU-wide intellectual property (IP) rights to this new combination product.

For the German market alone, APONTIS PHARMA anticipates an annual sales potential of more than EUR 7.0 million in the medium term. In Germany, around 290,000 people are currently taking a loose combination of the two classes of active ingredients contained in the new Single Pill.

The market launch of this new Single Pill with EU-wide IP rights is planned for 2027/2028 in Germany, with five further Single Pills with EU-wide IP rights scheduled for market launch in 2026/2027 according to current planning. APONTIS PHARMA is thus currently pursuing the development of six Single Pills with EU-wide property rights.

In total, APONTIS PHARMA has announced the medium-term market launch of 15 Single Pills, which will successively complement the existing Single Pill portfolio. At least three additional Single Pills are expected to be launched in 2023. Currently, APONTIS PHARMA has ten approved Single Pills. In view of the accelerated portfolio expansion through contract developments and in-licensing, APONTIS PHARMA is confident to comfortably exceed the announced target of at least 20 Single Pills by 2026.

Karlheinz Gast, Chief Executive Officer of APONTIS PHARMA AG: We are very pleased to broaden our constructive partnership with Zentiva Group by jointly developing a Single Pill with EU-wide IP rights.
