SP-03
In March 2015, Solasia acquired exclusive commercialization rights in Japan and China to SP-03 from Camurus, also acquired South Korea right in August 2018. SP-03(episil®) is a liquid for protecting and dressing of oral lesions and categorized in non-absorptive liquid medical device. Upon contact with the aqueous fluid in the oral mucosa, episil® forms a protective film within a few minutes, which acts as a mechanical barrier and provides relief of pain suffered from oral mucositis. episil® was developed using the award-winning Camurus proprietary technology FluidCrystal®. Clinically demonstrated, episil® has been shown immediate (within minutes) and effective pain relief which lasted 8 hours*. episil® is supplied as a ready-to-use, pocket-sized device helping patients improve their quality of life while undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. FluidCrystal® was awarded the “Best innovation in formulation” prize at the CPhI Worldwide in 2013.
