Citius Pharma Announces Addition of South America to World License

Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. , a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on adjunctive cancer care and critical care drug products, announced that it has recently concluded negotiations to add South America to its worldwide license for Mino-Lok™.  

South America was the only territory that was not included in the original sub-license between Novel Anti-Infective Technologies, LLC, an affiliate of MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MDACC”), and Leonard-Meron Biosciences, Inc. (“LMB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Mr. Myron Holubiak, President and CEO stated, “The increasing importance of South American countries to the world market for pharmaceuticals and biotechnology made it compelling for us to include these countries in our license. Citius is committed to developing Mino-Lok as a cost saving therapy in all countries and will position Mino-Lok to find a receptive market for adoption everywhere.” 

There are currently no approved therapies to salvage infected CVCs.
