Sep 14, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- ACCP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Access Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company, has entered into an agreement with a commercial manufacturer to produce its FDA-approved MuGard for North American distribution.

In a comparison of cancer patients receiving standard oral mucositis care with those patients receiving MuGard, MuGard has been shown to significantly reduce the incidence and severity of the debilitating side effect of radiation treatment and chemotherapy, Access Pharmaceuticals said.

Access intends to use the initial batches of MuGard in connection with one or more market seeding studies to be conducted in the US pursuant to protocols that are currently being developed. Access hopes to finalize these protocols and begin one or more market seeding studies in fourth quarter of 2009.

Access has contracted with Accupac, a manufacturer of over-the-counter and prescription products to serve as its commercial manufacturer of MuGard in North America. MuGard is currently being marketed in the UK, Germany, Italy, Norway and Greece by Access's partner, SpePharm.

According to the company, MuGard is a novel, ready-to-use mucoadhesive oral wound rinse for the management of oral mucositis. MuGard forms a protective coating over the oral mucosa when swirled gently around the mouth.

Jeffrey Davis, president and CEO of Access Pharmaceuticals, said: "Access is moving forward with the development of MuGard in North America. Establishing our relationship with Accupac is critical to our successful commercialization of MuGard. In addition, Access is currently evaluating potential eMarketing partners as well as potential co-promotion or other licensing opportunities."
