• The Company approaches a significant milestone advancing from a pre-revenue biotech to in revenue

OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2021 / Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (“Tetra” or the “Company”) (TSX:TBP) (OTCQB:TBPMF) (FRA:JAM1), a leader in cannabinoid-derived drug discovery and development announced today that Health Canada has accepted its New Drug Submission (NDS) for REDUVO and has formally entered the final review phase in the drug review process. If successful, REDUVO will be issued a Notice of Compliance (NOC) as well as a Drug Identification Number (DIN) which permits Tetra to market the drug in Canada and indicates the drug’s official approval in Canada.

REDUVO is a soft gel capsule used to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). It is also used to treat weight loss and severe nausea in people living with HIV infection. The active pharmaceutical ingredient in REDUVO is dronabinol, also known as THC, a synthetic form of the active natural substance in cannabis.

“There is a need for alternative therapies for patients experiencing CINV who don’t respond well to the conventional drugs used to control nausea and vomiting. Prevention of CINV remains a priority to reduce further illness in patients receiving chemotherapy. Tetra anticipates that REDUVO will be publicly and privately reimbursed by provinces and Canadian private healthcare plans,” said Chief Executive Officer Dr. Guy Chamberland. “We will continue to work closely with Health Canada as we seek to bring this therapy to patients as soon as possible.”

About Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy treatment. Some studies indicate that untreated CINV can affect up to 70% to 80% of all people undergoing chemotherapy¹. Patients who poorly manage CINV may have a decreased quality of life.

This Definitive Agreement is expected to generate an excess of $47,5M CAD in revenue for Tetra

OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2021 / Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (“Tetra” or the “Company”) (TSX:TBP)(OTCQB:TBPMF)(FSE:JAM1), a leader in cannabinoid-derived drug discovery and development announced today the signing of a Definitive Agreement with DanCann Pharma A/S (SS: DANCAN) for the exclusive distribution of Reduvo Adversa®, QIXLEEF and ENJOUCA in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Germany.

Subject to registration with the European Medicines Agency (EMA), DanCann Pharma will handle the exclusive sales and distribution in the Nordics and Germany for Reduvo Adversa® and QIXLEEF, a botanical cannabinoid-derived medicine, as well as Tetra’s medicinal cannabis product ENJOUCA.

The Agreement encompasses a sum of upfront and milestone payments of up to $1,5M CAD, and expected cumulative royalties in excess of $46M CAD on DanCann’s cumulative sales for Reduvo Adversa®, QIXLEEF and ENJOUCA from 2021 to 2028.

According to Guy Chamberland, CEO at Tetra Bio-Pharma: “I am glad that we were able to sign this definitive agreement with DanCann Pharma. Both organizations strongly believe that cannabinoid-derived medicines will help improve the quality of life of patients suffering from pain and chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). We look forward to working with DanCann Pharma in the Nordic Countries and Germany. Both organizations set the bar very high when it comes to delivering impactful therapeutic value medicines to patients. This partnership will strengthen our business model and demonstrates that Tetra keeps delivering on our commitment to shareholders to monetize our assets and transitioning from a pre-revenue biopharma company to an in-revenue biopharma company.”

“We have very high expectations for the collaboration with Tetra Bio-Pharma. They have a unique portfolio within the pain management and CINV segments, and we look forward to introducing these lines to our markets. We have mutual expectations for the sales to commence during the first half of 2022. DanCann Pharma estimates reaching peak sales of CAD 67 – 81 million by 2028, depending on the development of the markets” says DanCann Pharma’s CCO John Morell Frellsen.

About Tetra’s Three Products Covered in This Definitive Agreement:
Reduvo Adversa® is a dronabinol administered product through an innovative mucoadhesive-tablet delivery system. It is indicated for the treatment of patients living with CINV as well as those suffering from AIDS-related anorexia associated with weight loss.

The Reduvo Adversa® technology will allow DanCann to launch a largely improved version of dronabinol in the Nordic countries and Germany. The clinical benefits are numerous including limited first-pass metabolism leading to an improved bioavailability and consequently to a reduced gastro-intestinal exposure and side-effects. The dosage regimen is likely to become twice a day as opposed to 4 times a day. This new technology signifies important intellectual property.

QIXLEEF is a botanical cannabinoid-derived medicine, anticipated to become the first prescription drug product for this class to be dispensed through pharmacies and prescribed by healthcare professionals. QIXLEEF is inhaled via vaporization through a Health Canada approved class 2 medical device. It is well characterized and will benefit from data protection, once approved by the EMA. The indications for this product are expected to be for advanced cancer pain and breakthrough pain.

Lastly, ENJOUCA is a medicinal cannabis therapeutic option (non-registered) which will help European patients manage their pain.
