BioDelivery and Meda seek approval for pain drug in Germany

BioDelivery Sciences International has reported that Meda has submitted a dossier seeking approval to market Bema Fentanyl for the treatment of breakthrough pain in opioid tolerant cancer patients to the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices.

BioDelivery Sciences has received a $2.5 million milestone payment for completion of the clinical trial work supporting the dossier and expects to receive an additional milestone payment on approval, followed by revenues from a double digit royalty on net sales. Meda is BioDelivery’s commercialization partner for Bema Fentanyl in North America and Europe.

Mark Sirgo, president and CEO of BioDelivery Sciences, said: “This submission clearly reflects the priority Meda has placed on gaining approval for Bema Fentanyl both in Europe and in the US.”
