Veloxis will supply Envarsus XR to Chiesi for sale in China at a pre-specified transfer price. The initial term of the agreement shall be for a period of 15 years from the effective date of the agreement.

Veloxis Pharmaceuticals announced that its U.S. subsidiary, Veloxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., has entered into an exclusive license, supply and distribution agreement with Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. to register, commercialize and distribute Envarsus XR in the territories of China and Taiwan. Envarsus XR is a form of the anti-rejection drug, tacrolimus, for people who have had a kidney transplant.

Under the terms of this agreement, Veloxis will receive an up-front payment in the amount of USD 6 million and a milestone payment upon approval.  Veloxis will supply Envarsus XR to Chiesi for sale in China at a pre-specified transfer price.  The initial term of the agreement shall be for a period of 15 years from the effective date of the agreement.
