ORAVI®
Indication:  Oropharyngeal candidiasis
Partner:  Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co.,Inc.

ORAVI® is a novel formulation of the Japanese pharmacopeia miconazole (antifungal agent), the once-daily treatment (50mg mucoadhesive tablet) to treat oropharyngeal candidiasis (“OPC”) in patients. ORAVI® is designed to deliver a sustained high therapeutic dose of miconazole directly to the infected site in the mouth.

ORAVI® was developed by the French pharmaceutical company BioAlliance Pharma SA. and was first approved in October 2006 in France. It has since been marketed in two European countries and the U.S., under the tradenames Loramyc®/Oravig®.

Sosei Co. Ltd. obtained the exclusive marketing rights for ORAVI® in Japan from BioAlliance Pharma SA. in May 2011. The New Drug Application for ORAVI® in Japan included data from the original clinical trials and from an additional randomized Phase 3 clinical trial, conducted by Sosei Co. Ltd in Japan that confirmed the safety and efficacy of ORAVI® to be equivalent to an approved formulation of miconazole in OPC patients.
