The Company has welcomed support from a significant number of new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors.
Proceeds from the Placement will support preparation for commercial launch activities of Sofdra in the United States, as well as general working capital purposes and costs of the Placement.
Botanix Executive Chairman, Vince Ippolito, said:
“We are extremely pleased to announce this Placement to institutional investors, with the resubmission to FDA pending and approval planned for mid-2024.
“There are a number of initiatives that need to be completed to ensure a successful launch of Sofdra and subsequent revenue growth, and this new capital enables those initiatives to be accelerated.”
Botanix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:BOT) has signed an exclusive agreement with UpScriptHealth® to provide the digital platform and telehealth services for the commercial launch of Sofdra™ (sofpironium bromide) gel, 15%. The agreement with UpScriptHealth is an important step towards building the commercial infrastructure for the successful launch of Sofdra following approval.
UpScriptHealth was the first company to deliver prescriptions online. With more than 1 million patients served, UpScript is the leading digital platform for pharmaceutical companies to offer medications and other therapeutics direct to consumers.
The UpScript website will be the first point of entry for the majority of patients seeking a prescription for Sofdra gel. Patients will be matched with UpScript’s nationwide network of licensed U.S. physicians for online consultations. If a physician finds that a patient is an appropriate candidate, an electronic prescription will be issued and forwarded to a pharmacy that fills it and then ships it to the customer’s home or office.
For patients who are actively seeking support and solutions online, UpScript provides a fast, convenient, clickable option.
Botanix CEO, Dr Howie McKibbon said: “Our exclusive agreement with UpScriptHealth® forms a cornerstone of the commercial infrastructure required for the successful launch of Sofdra™ (sofpironium bromide) gel, 15%. UpScriptHealth’s proven digital platform and telehealth services are expected to greatly facilitate Sofdra prescriptions.
“UpScript will provide a fast, convenient, clickable option for patients seeking hyperhidrosis solutions online. Botanix and our patients will benefit from the enhanced patient access offered by UpScript’s digital hub.”
Botanix (ASX: BOT) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has conditionally approved a trade name for sofpironium bromide gel, 15%.
Pending final approval by the FDA, the once-daily topical gel for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis will be known as Sofdra™.
Our team developed trade name options which would satisfy the FDA’s stringent requirements. Sofdra is easy to pronounce, achieved positive fit to concept, and generated strong recall scores among physicians and patients. Sofdra is one of few two-syllable names still available for use as a product trade name. Once approved, the new trade name will be used on the product packaging as well as marketing materials.
