Mithra Announces Commercial Launch of Myring™ in Germany, the biggest market in Europe

Mithra’s vaginal ring contraceptive is marketed by Hormosan in Germany under the trademark name MYCIRQ®. Hormosan is the German subsidiary of the innovation-driven pharmaceutical company Lupin Group, developing and delivering a wide range of branded and generic formulations, biosimilar products and APIs globally. According to the agreement signed in May 2019 with Hormosan2 , in addition to the upfront payment, Mithra is eligible for milestone payments and recurring revenues based on minimum annual quantities (MAQ). Mithra is also in charge of the manufacturing of the product for the German market in its Mithra CDMO, still operational despite the Covid-19 crisis, in compliance with all the measures required by the Belgian authorities. Globally, this agreement could generate revenues of at least EUR 2.5 million for Mithra.

François Fornieri, CEO Mithra Women’s Health, comments:

“During this unprecedented health crisis, in strict compliance with our government's measures to ensure the safety of our employees, we have made every effort to maintain the manufacturing and delivery of our drug to German & other geographies’ pharmacies. Myring™ is a new option for women as the first generic contraceptive ring with the same composition as the originator to be launched in this key market. We would like to thank our partner Hormosan for the constructive collaboration in these particularly difficult times for all of us.”

Anjan Selz, Managing Director Hormosan, states:

“We are proud to launch MYCIRQ® in Germany. The contraceptive ring is a perfect fit to our current successful OC portfolio and will be the most important launch in our forthcoming new fiscal year in the area of Women’s Health. We thank Mithra for their efforts to deliver the product despite the current difficult circumstances and make this launch happen in time. Our pre marketing activities already show a high acceptance of this product with all market players. MYCIRQ® is the only generic contraceptive ring with the same composition as the originator but without cool chain restrictions in storage conditions, this is a significant advantage for wholesalers and pharmacies. The storage life of 24 months at normal room temperature enables us to offer a 6 months pack, which provides good value to patients for this mostly privately paid contraceptive.“
