Licensing partnership in Saudi Arabia for Dapsone 5% Gel
Melbourne, Australia; 31 July 2025; Acrux Limited (ASX: ACR)
Acrux has executed a Sales, Marketing, Distribution and License Agreement with Servacure Trading W.L.L. (‘Servacure’) for Dapsone 5%, Gel for Saudi Arabia.
Dapsone 5%, Gel was developed Acrux and was successfully launched through a licensee in the United States in April 2024. It is approved the Food and Drug Administration (‘FDA’) to be marketed in both a 60 gram and the recently launched 90 gram pack size and is indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris.
The contract term with Servacure is for 10 years with options for renewal at the end of this term. Servacure will assume responsibility for obtaining regulatory approval as well as coordinating manufacturing for the Territory and will pay Acrux a fixed fee per unit for the aggregate unit volume of all product shipped to customers during a calendar month.
Acrux CEO and Managing Director, John Warmbrunn said:
“I have many years of experience in the dynamic pharmaceutical market the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia so I am pleased to be partnering our first product with Servacure. They have a demonstrated track record of commercialising their products in the Saudi marketplace and we look forward to a long-term relationship with them across the range of products in our portfolio. This type of geographic expansion leverages our US FDA approvals to penetrate other countries and generate increased return from existing investments. It is a good example of Acrux’s potential for licensing US FDA approved products around the globe.”
Authorised the Board of Directors.
