"The NDA approval of XERAVA® in Taiwan marks an important step towards bringing this novel, critical therapy for complicated intra-abdominal infections and other life-threatening infections to more patients in Asia," said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. "Following the successful commercial launch of XERAVA® in mainland China and Singapore, we will accelerate patient access to this product in more markets including Hong Kong and Taiwan."
XERAVA® was approved by the National Medical Products Administration ("NMPA") of China in March 2023 and commercially launched in July. It has also been approved and commercialized in Singapore. XERAVA® has been recommended by multiple treatment guidelines in China and globally, based on its broad bacterial spectrum coverage and high potency against multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
Everest entered into an exclusive partnership agreement with TTY Biopharm (TTY) in 2022 for commercialization of XERAVA® in Taiwan. TTY is one of the largest local pharmaceutical companies in Taiwan and has led the successful commercialization of other novel anti-infective products in the region, such as Brosym (cefoperazone+sulbactam), Colistin (colimycin) and Cubicin (daptomycin).
