BARCELONA, Spain and HONG KONG, January 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Laboratorios SALVAT, S.A. (hereinafter "Salvat") and Lee's Pharmaceutical (HK) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lee's Pharmaceutical Holdings Limited ("Lee's Pharm", SEHK Stock Code: 0950), jointly announced today the signing of an exclusive License and Supply Agreement for the marketing and distribution of Duoxal® ear drops (patented combination solution of Ciprofloxacin and Fluocinolone Acetonide) in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong S.A.R., Macau S.A.R., and Taiwan and an option to add Thailand to the contractual territory.

Duoxal® ear drops is a prescription medicine used to treat acute otitis media in patients with tympanostomy tubes ("AOMT") and acute otitis externa (swimmer's ear) in adults and children older than 6 months of age.

"We are pleased to enter into a partnership with Lee's Pharm, a company that complements our development capabilities with a deep knowledge of Greater China," said Alberto Bueno, Chief Executive Officer of Salvat. "This long-term collaboration is a major milestone for Salvat, as we continue to grow our presence in international markets and to expand the Duoxal® footprint across multiple territories."

"We are extremely excited about entering into an exclusive partnership with Salvat to register and market Duoxal® in our territory," said Dr. Li Xiaoyi, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Lee's Pharm. "We believe that, as a novel combination product, Duoxal® can address the medical needs of those patients suffering from ear infections. We're looking forward to collaborating closely with Salvat to initiate the drug registration process."

About Duoxal® 

Duoxal® (Ciprofloxacin 0.3% Otic Solution plus Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.025% Otic Solution) is a patented novel combination that is indicated for the treatment of Otitis Externa and Acute Otitis Media in children with tympanostomy tubes. It will be available in preservative-free, single-use vials which safeguard sterility at each dose and make it easy to ensure correct dosing and application of drops into the ear.

Acute Otitis Media with Tympanostomy Tubes (AOMT) is characterized by the presence of otorrhea, following the insertion of a tympanostomy tube into the eardrum. This insertion is a surgical procedure intended to treat the effusion that usually accompanies a middle ear inflammation, for which topical administration of fluoroquinolone in combination with a corticosteroid is the treatment of choice.

Salvat markets different forms of Duoxal® through its proprietary sales team in Spain and through its network of licensees and distributors in the majority of the markets outside of the US.

Duoxal® is currently under review by the US Food and Drug Administration and by Health Canada. The approval of the product in the United States and Canada is expected in 2016. Salvat's local commercial partners will market the product in these territories.

The Duoxal® brand is owned by Salvat.
