Uni-Bio Science Group (HKG:0690) said its unit, Beijing Genetech Pharmaceutical, has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Kexing Biopharm (SHA:688136) to commercialize its osteoporosis treatment Bogutai, according to a Friday Hong Kong bourse filing.
Shares of the firm were up nearly 7% in Monday morning trade.
The agreement grants Kexing Biopharm exclusive rights to market Bogutai in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico.
Bogutai, a pre-filled pen-type teriparatide injection launched in China in March 2024, is used for postmenopausal women at high risk of fractures.
The partnership will target markets with more than 10 million osteoporosis patients and an estimated value of nearly $1.5 billion, with revenue expected from late 2026.
