Drugmaker Cipla has entered into a commercial collaboration with BioQuiddity Inc for BioQuiddity’s OneDose ReadyfusOR anaesthetic applications for post-surgical pain management. The agreement covers the European Union and other countries in the region, Cipla said.

Cipla intends to launch this product pre-filled with anaesthetic drug Ropivacaine under its own label in the German market later this year.

The deal is being executed through Cipla Europe NV, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mumbai-based Cipla Ltd. San Francisco-based BioQuiddity is a privately held corporation focused on unmet needs in drug infusion today — cost, medication error, sterility, efficiency, and patient quality of life, the note said.

“Cipla is an excellent strategic partner for BioQuiddity and our pre-filled ready-to-use post-surgical pain product candidates,” Joshua Kriesel, President and Chief Executive, said in a statement. “Cipla’s strong commercial record puts them in an outstanding position to detail the OneDose ReadyfusOR’s safety, sterility, and ease-of-use value proposition objectives,” he added.
