SUGAR LAND, Texas, Dec. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- QuVa Pharma,
Inc. today announced it has signed a production and distribution
agreement with Hibernation Therapeutics for its patented
cardioplegia solution Adenocaine™, the combination of
Adenosine, Lidocaine and Magnesium Sulfate that is used to
intentionally stop the heart from beating during cardiac surgery,
and is immediately taking orders.
"Improved access to Adenocaine has enormous potential to help
health systems and their patients undergoing cardiac
surgery, and represents continued progress of QuVa's larger
commitment to improving access to specialized, ready-to-use product
offerings like those for cardioplegia," said Stuart Hinchen, QuVa Pharma's co-founder and
Chief Executive Officer.
"Expanding quality production and shelf-life of Adenocaine is a
critical component of our commitment to improving heart surgery
outcomes, said Todd Meyerrose, PhD,
CEO of Hibernation Therapeutics. "By exceeding regulatory
standards for pharmaceutical quality with its cGMP manufacturing
capabilities, demonstrating superior product development processes
and offering national distribution across all 50 states, QuVa is an
excellent partner to expand access to our natural, reproducible
form of myocardial protection during invasive procedures."
Peter Jenkins, QuVa's co-founder
and Chief Development Officer, added, "Adenocaine is an important
addition to our comprehensive portfolio of compounded sterile
products (CSPs), as now hospital pharmacies can take advantage of a
sterile, ready-to-use formulation of the Adenosine, Lidocaine and
Magnesium Sulfate combination with important characteristics in
helping hospital pharmacy reduce waste and increase operational
efficiency, like a significantly longer shelf life at room
temperature storage compared to the previously available
version."
