Tanner Pharma Group Initiates Named Patient Program for XIAFLEX®
CHARLOTTE, NC –Tanner Pharma Group, Inc. today announced they have partnered with Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to initiate a multi-year Named Patient Program for XIAFLEX® (collagenase clostridium histolyticum), an important nonsurgical treatment option for patients with Dupuytren’s contracture and Peyronie’s disease.
XIAPEX®, also owned by Endo, was previously marketed by Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (Sobi) in the EU and other European countries until the withdrawal of its EU Marketing Authorization on March 1, 2020. The decision to withdraw was not based on safety or efficacy concerns. The agreement names Tanner Pharma Group as the exclusive provider of the U.S. product XIAFLEX in markets previously served by Sobi, to address the unmet need for collagenase injection therapy.
Banks Bourne, Chairman and Founder of Tanner Pharma Group, commented, “We are pleased to support physicians who were previously using XIAPEX by providing an ethical and compliant route to an alternative product. Our unique delivery model will minimize the disruption caused by this withdrawal and will ensure that collagenase injection therapy remains an option for European healthcare professionals and patients.”
