Aurobindo Pharma, a leading pharmaceutical company based in Hyderabad, announced a strategic partnership with a global pharmaceutical major through its US subsidiary, Aurobindo Pharma USA Inc. The collaboration focuses on the development and commercialization of innovative respiratory products. The details of this agreement were disclosed in a regulatory filing shared by the company on Saturday.

Three-to-Five-Year Development Timeline

The partnership outlines an initial development period of three to five years, during which both companies will co-develop a portfolio of respiratory products. This timeline highlights the intensive research and development efforts needed to address the growing demand for effective respiratory therapies in global markets.

Shared Commercialization Rights

Aurobindo Pharma and its global partner will share co-exclusive commercialization rights for the products. This collaborative approach ensures that both parties can leverage their respective strengths in marketing and distribution to maximize the market potential of the developed products.

Cost-sharing Framework with USD 90 Million Cap

Aurobindo Pharma emphasized a balanced cost-sharing arrangement as a cornerstone of the agreement. Both companies have agreed to split the development costs equally, with Aurobindo committing to an expenditure cap of USD 90 million over the development period. This financial collaboration reflects a shared vision and reduces the individual burden of the significant investments required for R&D.

Manufacturing at Partner’s Facility

Once the products are commercialized, they will be manufactured at the facilities of the global pharmaceutical partner. This arrangement underscores the partner’s robust manufacturing infrastructure and capacity to meet the anticipated market demand for these respiratory products.
