The news follows IDT’s announcement in April 2015 that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had accepted the transfer of ownership of 23 generics to the Australia-based company [1].
ANI has paid US$1 million for the exclusive rights to commercialize the 18 generics in North America. ANI will also share in an undisclosed percentage of net profits upon commercialization. The total current annual US market for these products is estimated to be worth US$538 million, according to IMS Health.
IDT expects to file a CBE-30 (changes being effected) for the first generic drug product in the fourth quarter of 2015.
ANI has already acquired 53 generics from Teva Pharmaceuticals [2, 3]. This deal will further expand ANI’s generics portfolio.
