Cipher buys 3 inflammatory dermatological products from Astion

Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company,   has strengthened its product pipeline by acquiring the worldwide rights to three products from Astion Pharma (Astion), a Denmark-based specialty pharmaceutical company. The three products are focused on inflammatory dermatological diseases: Dermadexin, Pruridexin, and ASF-1096.

Dermadexin is a patent-protected topical barrier-repair cream containing the pharmacologically active ingredient P3GCM. The product was approved in the European Union (EU) in 2014 as a Class III medical device for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis, an inflammatory skin disorder affecting the scalp, face, and torso. Dermadexin SD Cream has been tested in two placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trials (436 patients) where it displayed a marked and statistically significant effect on the symptoms of facial seborrhoeic dermatitis with a fast onset of action and an increasing effect over time.

Pruridexin is a patent-protected topical cream for the treatment of chronic pruritis (itching), which is a significant unmet need. Pruridexin was submitted to the European Medicines Agency in 2014 as a Class III medical device and is under active review with a response expected in the first half of 2015. Pruridexin Cream has been tested in two placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trials (352 patients) and displayed a marked and statistically significant effect on the pruritus with a fast onset of action and an increasing effect over time.
