Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
On November 8, 2006, Bradley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had entered into an agreement with BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“BioSante”) on November 7, 2006 to market BioSante’s estradiol transdermal gel, Bio-E-Gel®, in the United States. The US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) accepted the New Drug Application for review in April of this year and set the PDUFA date for mid-December. The Company plans to market Bio-E-Gel® through its Kenwood Therapeutics division and plans to introduce it in 2007, pending approval by the FDA. If approved by the FDA, the Company will likely commercialize Bio-E-Gel® under a new trade name. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will receive regulatory approval for any indication developed under the agreement with BioSante.
Bio-E-Gel® is expected to be prescribed for the treatment of moderate-to-severe hot flashes in menopausal women and is expected to be available at several dosage levels. In consideration for the grant of the Company’s right to market Bio-E-Gel®, the Company paid BioSante and its licensor for Bio-E-Gel® an aggregate of $3.5 million. In addition, the Company agreed to pay regulatory milestone payments between $10.0 million and $10.5 million, a royalty on net sales, and sales-based milestone payments.
This summary of the agreement is not complete and is qualified by reference to the entire agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company intends to request confidential treatment for portions of the agreement.
