Ferring Pharmaceuticals acquires generic ganirelix acetate injection rights
Ferring Pharmaceuticals has a new addition to its generics portfolio.
The Saint-Prex, Switzerland-based company, whose U.S. operations are headquartered in Parsippany, N.J., has acquired the U.S. commercialization rights for a generic version of ganirelix acetate injection from Sun Pharmaceutical Industries.
Ganirelix is a GnRH antagonist used to prevent premature luteinizing hormone surges in women undergoing fertility treatment.
“When beginning a treatment process as individualized and complex as fertility, it is critical that patients and providers have a wide variety of treatment options available,” said Gaurang Daftary, Ferring's reproductive medicine and women’s health senior medical director and adjunct professor in reproductive endocrinology at the Mayo Clinic and the Yale University School of Medicine.
