OncBioMune, AqVida add additional drugs to distribution agreement (Paclitaxel and Oxaliplatin)


BATON ROUGE, LA--(Marketwired - June 15, 2017) - OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: OBMP) ("OncBioMune" or the "Company"), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of novel cancer products and a proprietary vaccine technology, today announces an exclusive distribution and licensing agreement between OncBioMune and AqVida GmbH ("AqVida"), a Germany-based FDF manufacturer specializing in the development, registration, manufacturing and distribution of generic pharmaceutical products, with an emphasis on the field of cancer therapy from their state-of-the-art facility in Dassow, Germany.

As released on 4/26/2017, AqVida granted OncBioMune the rights to several oncology and other generic pharmaceuticals in their portfolio, including imatinib, docetaxel and azathioprine to name a few, for commercialization in the Mexican markets. As an addendum to the agreement, the companies have agreed to expand the portfolio adding Paclitaxel for the treatment of breast, ovarian, lung, bladder, prostate, melanoma, esophageal, Kaposi's sarcoma, as well as other types of solid tumor cancers and Oxaliplatin which is uses to treat colon and rectal cancer that has spread (metastasized).

AqVida has commericialized these products for sale in the European markets. AqVida will support OncBioMune's efforts through providing all requisite documentation for seeking marketing approval in Mexico and manufacturing the products at their GMP-certified facility in Germany.

Additionally, OncBioMune and AqVida are conducting negotiations regarding expanding the exclusive licensing agreement to cover commercialization in the Mexican markets the complete AqVida portfolio of medicines, including several used for treating the most common types of cancer.

Furthermore, AqVida has expressed interest in being involved in the development of ProscaVax, OncBioMune's novel therapeutic cancer vaccine currently undergoing clinical trials as a new treatment for prostate cancer. The two companies are contemplating a joint venture in which AqVida would be integral in the clinical development of ProscaVax in Europe, including leading the initiation of clinical studies and manufacturing ProscaVax for use within the highly regulated E.U. market.

"This agreement helps us become a self-sufficient company and a major generic provider in Latin America," commented Andrew Kucharchuk, President and Chief Financial Officer at OncBioMune. "AqVida has a strong presence in Europe and in the oncology space, giving us another high-quality partner with deep experience in bringing new drugs to market globally. The relationship with AqVida will allow us to commercialize the products at competitive prices, which we believe will result in capturing a meaningful market share across the board."

"As successful as our generics are throughout Europe, there is a large, untapped market in Mexico for which OncBioMune is an ideal partner to capitalize with its extensive distribution network and experience with the regulatory pathway," said Wolfgang Heinze, CEO at AqVida. "We further see many other synergies between our companies for leveraging resources to introduce our other generics to Mexico and Latin America and to develop ProscaVax for the vast European markets. Approximately 400,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed each year in Europe and over 92,000 lives are lost annually to the disease. Radical prostatectomy remains a leading therapy and we are of the opinion that a safe and effective new treatment would be warmly welcomed across the entire union. We'd like to be a part of developing such a therapy."
