Montevideo, Uruguay, June 29, 2018. GBT-Grupo Biotoscana (B3: GBIO33), a leading biopharmaceutical company in Latin America, announces to its shareholders and the market in general that it has approved Basilea’s antifungal CRESEMBA® (isavuconazole) and broad spectrum hospital antibiotic ZEVTERA® (ceftobiprole) in Peru.

In 2016, GBT and Basilea Pharmaceutica International Ltd.

Under that agreement, GBT is responsible for marketing authorization, market access, promotion, selling and distribution in 19 countries in the region. The approval of CRESEMBA® in Peru, represents the first market introduction of the drug under that agreement and the second one for ZEVTERA®.

Julieta Serna, EVP Latam, said: “We are excited of approving CERESEMBA® in the first Latam country and we continue working intensively to introduce both ZEVTERA® and CRESEMBA® into other countries within the region, upon regulatory approval”.

CRESEMBA® (isavuconazole) is approved in Peru for the isavuconazole for the treatment of adult patients with invasive aspergillosis and for the treatment of adult patients with mucormycosis for whom amphotericin B is inappropriate.
