"We are pleased to enter into this partnership with O4CP to further the development of an important potential therapy for neonates. Sobi is committed to innovations in the pediatric and neonatal areas where there remains a high degree of unmet need for medicines specifically developed for these patients. The partnership with O4CP around bumetanide is an important step for us and will provide a perfect complement to Kiobrina® in the future," says Geoffrey McDonough, CEO of Sobi.
"Sobi understands the value of bringing medicines to neglected populations. The company has a strong market organization and global ambitions, and is therefore a perfect partner for us. The agreement will secure that this important treatment for neonates will reach the market," says Vincent Grek, President of O4CP.
