Egetis and Er-Kim Expand Partnership to Broaden Access to Emcitate® Across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe
Stockholm, Sweden, December 10, 2025. Egetis Therapeutics AB (publ) (“Egetis” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ Stockholm: EGTX), today announced that the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Rare Thyroid Therapeutics International AB, has entered into an expanded exclusive distribution agreement with Er-Kim İlaç Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (“Er-Kim”) to supply Emcitate® (tiratricol), for the treatment of MCT8 deficiency, across Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Serbia and Slovenia. This follows an initial agreement signed in June 2025 covering Türkiye, marking another important milestone in the companies’ growing collaboration.
Nicklas Westerholm, CEO of Egetis, commented: “We are proud to extend our partnership with Er-Kim, whose strong local presence and deep expertise across these diverse markets make them an ideal partner to ensure that Emcitate® reaches patients in need as soon as possible. Our collaboration reflects a shared commitment to breaking down barriers to access and delivering innovative therapies to those with urgent, unmet medical needs—wherever they are.
“We have launched Emcitate® in the first market, Germany, in May 2025, and aim to commercialize Emcitate® ourselves in the US and selected Western EU countries. In Japan, we have an exclusive license agreement for the development and commercialization of Emcitate® and in June 2025 we signed a distribution agreement with Er-Kim for Emcitate® in Türkiye. This was followed in October 2025 by a distribution agreement with another strategic partner for the Gulf Region. Building on our positive collaboration with Er-Kim, we have now expanded this partnership to include Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe.”
Cem Zorlular, CEO of Er-Kim, commented: “We are pleased to expand our collaboration with Egetis, a company that shares our mission to deliver innovative medicines to more patients, faster. The unique tools and approaches we've built across the region exist for exactly this—bringing treatments like Emcitate® to patients across Türkiye, Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.”
