AOP Health and Eagle End Cooperation
AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals GmbH (AOP Health) and Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Eagle) agreed to amicably end their contractual relationship concerning their joint efforts regarding the development and commercialization of AOP Health's pharmaceutical products containing landiolol in the US.
Landiolol is an ultra-short acting beta 1 selective intravenous beta blocker for the management of acute tachyarrhythmia in critically ill patients, with minimal impact on blood pressure and inotropy. Landiolol, with the brand name Rapibloc®, obtained regulatory approval in Europe and was successfully launched in 2017. Landiolol is an important drug that fulfills an unmet medical need in critical care settings and therefore, AOP Health cooperates with the United States Food and Drug Administration towards a successful approval of landiolol in the US. However, Eagle has redefined its business priorities for the US markets. As a result, AOP Health and Eagle decided to cease their joint development and commercialization efforts concerning AOP Health's landiolol products in the US.
