Our subsidiary EİP Eczacıbaşı İlaç Pazarlama A.Ş. ("EİP") has executed today (21 December 2021) a license and commercialization agreement with Pharma Mar S.A., a company based in Spain, for the marketing and sales rights of the medicine bearing the "Zepzelca®" trademark in Turkey.

Lurbinectedin (Zepzelca®), also known as PM1183, is an analogue of marine compound ET-736, which is replaced by a metoxy group of hydrogen atoms in its structure and isolated from the sea squirt Ecteinacidia turbinata. Lurbinectedin is a selective inhibitor of oncogenic transcription that affects the development of many tumor cells. Together with its effect on cancer cells, Lurbinectedin also inhibits oncogenic transcription in tumor-related macrophages by regulating the production of cytokines necessary for the proliferation of the tumor.

Being conditionally approved by the FDA, Lurbinectedin (Zepzelca®), has been given to the market in the USA and has received marketing authorization approvals in Canada, Australia, United Arab Emirates and Singapore. After completion of  the necessary conditions and documentation by Pharma Mar and EİP, an application will be submitted to the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency (TITCK) for Lurbinectedin (Zepzelca®) to obtain marketing authorization in Turkey. Following the receipt of the market authorization approval and afterwards the reimbursement approval by the Social Security Institution for the insured patients, the product is planned to be given to the market during the year 2026 as a registered medicine.

This statement has been translated into English for informational purposes. In case of a discrepancy between the Turkish and the English versions of this disclosure statement, the Turkish version shall prevail.
