Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Inc, USA (Glenmark) and Evestra Inc, have completed a strategic development, license and commercialization agreement to develop and market a generic version of Merck’s & Co’s NuvaRing product - etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring - designed to allow women access to a more affordable birth control option. Development on the vaginal ring product is currently under way and the two companies expect to file an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) in fiscal 2019.

Evestra will develop this product exclusively for Glenmark for the U.S. market, and will receive certain milestone payments during various stages of the product’s development, including royalties on net sales. Glenmark has secured exclusive marketing and distribution rights for the product, including an option to commercialize two additional Evestra vaginal ring products, for the U.S. market.
