Dapsone 5%, Gel
Licensing partnership in Saudi Arabia
Melbourne, Australia; 31 July 2025; Acrux Limited (ASX: ACR)
Acrux has executed a Sales, Marketing, Distribution and License Agreement with Servacure
Trading W.L.L. (‘Servacure’) for Dapsone 5%, Gel for Saudi Arabia.
Dapsone 5%, Gel was developed by Acrux and was successfully launched through a licensee
in the United States in April 2024. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (‘FDA’)
to be marketed in both a 60 gram and the recently launched 90 gram pack size and is indicated
for the treatment of acne vulgaris.
The contract term with Servacure is for 10 years with options for renewal at the end of this
term. Servacure will assume responsibility for obtaining regulatory approval as well as
coordinating manufacturing for the Territory and will pay Acrux a fixed fee per unit for the
aggregate unit volume of all product shipped to customers during a calendar month.
Acrux CEO and Managing Director, John Warmbrunn said:
“I have many years of experience in the dynamic pharmaceutical market the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia so I am pleased to be partnering our first product with Servacure.
They have a demonstrated track record of commercialising their products in the Saudi
marketplace and we look forward to a long-term relationship with them across the
range of products in our portfolio.
This type of geographic expansion leverages our US FDA approvals to penetrate
other countries and generate increased return from existing investments. It is a good
example of Acrux’s potential for licensing US FDA approved products around the
globe.”
Authorised by the Board of Directors.
