Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 19, 2021, SCYNEXIS, Inc. entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Amplity, Inc. (“Amplity”), a leading global contract commercialization organization, to support the anticipated commercialization of BrexafemmeTM (ibrexafungerp) in the United States. Brexafemme is the expected trade name for ibrexafungerp, an oral antifungal product candidate, for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), also known as vaginal yeast infection. The New Drug Application (NDA) for Brexafemme is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of June 1, 2021.
Provided that Brexafemme is approved by the FDA, during the 5-year term of the Agreement SCYNEXIS will utilize Amplity’s commercial execution expertise and resources for sales force, remote engagement, training, market access and select operations services. SCYNEXIS will maintain full ownership of Brexafemme and control of all strategic aspects of the launch. Amplity is deferring a portion of its direct service costs in the first two years (2021 and 2022), up to a cap, which SCYNEXIS will repay over three years starting in 2023. Amplity has the potential to earn a performance-based success fee, up to a cap, in the 2023-2025 timeframe by exceeding certain revenue targets. Each party retains the right to terminate the Agreement upon notice to the other party.
