TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Jun 18, 2015) - Easton Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTC PINK: EAPH) announces it has signed an MOU with BMV Medica SA de CV towards the exclusive distribution for most Latin American countries including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador and all of Central America for a patented Diagnostic Test for the only non-invasive monitoring test for amniotic fluid leaks for women in late-stage pregnancies.
The Amniotic Fluid Leak Detection Test -- a valuable new diagnostic test for which Easton / BMV now have the exclusive rights to Latin America, which will enhance Easton / BMV 's franchise and commitment in women's health products. Since many countries in the region accept US-FDA approvals with a minimum amount of extra documentation, Easton / BMV could begin selling this new test in these countries pending agreements with local distributors.
With the pregnancy and birth rates much higher in Latin America than in Western countries like the European Community, the US and Canada, Easton / BMV believe this amniotic fluid leak test will be a success upon launch. This test competes with much more cumbersome, expensive and hard-to-use products, and can be worn as a panty-liner by women during the latter stage of their pregnancy for both detection and prophylaxis.
From a sales & marketing perspective, the same Obstetrician / Gynecologist who would recommend the use of the vaginal detection test would also have at their disposal the ability to recommend use of this amniotic fluid detection test for their late-stage pregnant patients. BMV / Easton believe this new rapid test will quickly gain broad acceptance by many Doctors and women who are looking for a cost-effective, non-invasive, easy-to-use and accurate diagnostic test to avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital or clinic when they are concerned about the cause of the unexpected wetness in late-term pregnancies.
Negotiations have begun between Easton and BMV pertaining to the finer details of marketing with terms on a closed agreement being similar to what presently exists between the two companies. Negotiations are expected to finalize within 2 to 4 weeks. Easton anticipates other positive announcements and developments as per several ongoing discussions, as well as being able to provide consistent updates on all its recently announced initiatives.
Easton Pharmaceuticals and BMV Medica as previously announced are currently involved in a collaborative partnership to equally share profits in Mexico and Latin America for a full line of cancer drugs beginning with Paclitaxel and Docetaxel, manufactured by St. Catherines, Ontario-based Biolyse Pharma Corporation.
In addition, Easton and BMV will equally share profits from the sales of CommonSense LTD's exclusive women's patented diagnostic test in Mexico, a unique test meant to differentiate between a yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis when a woman has vaginal discharge, a common ailment affecting millions of women annually. This test is currently selling in the United States and Canada but as yet unavailable in Latin America.
In other developments, The Company's retained auditor has notified Easton that it cannot complete and sign off on its audit until receiving PCAOB certification as required and requested by Easton. Certification is expected within the next few weeks.
In other developments, The Company announces it has appointed Mr. Nunzio Valerie to the position of President / Secretary / Director to the Corporation. An official announcement is forthcoming alongside other anticipated announcements of other appointments.
