Disrupting Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Market With Oral Spray

• Aspargo Laboratories, Inc. to leverage Laboratorio SIDUS’ ED market position to launch Sildenafil Oral Spray in Argentina via exclusive License and Supply Agreements
• Aspargo’s Sildenafil Oral Spray offers a convenient, discreet option for men with ED

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NEW JERSEY and BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA – NOVEMBER 29, 2022 – Aspargo Laboratories, Inc. (“Aspargo”), a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing innovative formulations of leading tablet medications, announced today that it has entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “License”) with Laboratorio SIDUS (“Sidus”), a pharmaceutical group with more than 80 years in the Argentina market and extensive geographic coverage throughout the country. SIDUS currently manufactures and distributes in Argentina the MagnuS® brand of the ED products, Sildenafil and Tadalafil.

“We are focused on revolutionizing how men in Latin America and around the globe treat and manage their ED,” said Michael Demurjian, Aspargo’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This strategic agreement with Sidus broadens ED treatment options in Argentina with our pocket-sized, oral spray suspension formulation of sildenafil citrate that is both discreet and convenient.”

Sildenafil Oral Spray is an oral liquid suspension of sildenafil citrate administered via a spray pump that dispenses 12.5 mg of sildenafil per push. Aspargo uses a metered-dose container that delivers the precise amount of sildenafil citrate per push based on patient need. The discreet and easy-to-carry oral spray allows the user to customize dosing and avoid pill splitting or crushing attendant with the traditional tablet medication.

Concurrent with the grant of the License, Aspargo, Farmalider, S.A. (Madrid, Spain) (“Farmalider”) and Sidus have agreed to enter into a Supply Agreement for the manufacturing and packaging of Sildenafil Oral Spray for the Argentinian market (the “Supply Agreement” and, together with the License, the “Agreements”). Pursuant to the Agreements, Farmalider will manufacture Sildenafil Oral Spray at its manufacturing facility located in Valencia, Spain, for exclusive sale by SIDUS in Argentina. Aspargo will share in the cash flow from product sales through the Supply Agreement. The transaction leverages Sidus’ marketing position of the MagnuS® brand, which will be expanded to include Sildenafil Oral Spray.

“At Sidus, our passion is to improve people’s health and quality of life through innovative research and development,” said Matias Boscolo, Sidus’ Chief Executive Officer. “Together with Aspargo, we will leverage our ED market commercialization experience to expand our portfolio, offering men of Argentina an alternative Sildenafil Oral Spray option to help treat and manage their ED.”

Erectile dysfunction is characterized by the persistent difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection sufficient to have sexual intercourse. While the prevalence of ED has been shown to increase with age, a recent study conducted by the Sexual Medicine and Andrology Unit of the University of Florence, Italy, showed that ED in younger men is likely to be overlooked and dismissed without a proper medical assessment.

“The acquisition of global rights to Sildenafil Oral Spray represents a significant opportunity for Aspargo”, said Michael Demurjian, Aspargo’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “The erectile dysfunction market is one of the most expansive categories in the healthcare industry, as men continue to seek a more efficient and convenient solution to address their condition. Following our recent successful completion of a $7.5 million financing, Aspargo has transformed into a rapidly growing global specialty pharmaceutical company.”

Aspargo Laboratories, Inc. Announces Successful Completion of Pre-IND Meeting with FDA on Sildenafil Oral Spray for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction

• Alignment with FDA to pursue 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway
• On-track for IND filing in Q3 2020

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ. MAY 4, 2020 – Aspargo Laboratories, Inc. (Aspargo), a privately held, clinical stage pharmaceutical company, today announced the results of its pre-Investigational New Drug (pre-IND) meeting with the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA), where the FDA addressed Aspargo’s questions and provided guidance on the Company’s Sildenafil Oral Spray for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).

A pre-IND meeting provides an opportunity for an open communication between the sponsor and the FDA to discuss the IND development plan and to obtain the Agency’s guidance for clinical studies for the sponsor’s new drug candidate. The FDA was supportive of a single dose bioequivalent study comparing Aspargo’s Sildenafil Oral Spray, an oral liquid suspension formulation of sildenafil citrate, with Viagra® tablets and deemed the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway appropriate for the program.

“We are encouraged by the outcome of the pre-IND meeting with the FDA and based on their feedback are advancing towards an IND submission for Sildenafil Oral Spray in the third quarter of 2020,” said Michael Demurjian, Chief Executive Officer of Aspargo. “Importantly, the FDA deemed the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway appropriate for our clinical program and pending results from our planned single-dose bioequivalent study, we do not foresee the need to conduct any additional long-term safety, toxicology or phase 3 efficacy studies. We look forward to advancing Sildenafil Oral Spray in the U.S. market to provide men who suffer from erectile dysfunction a differentiated dosing formulation that provides convenient administration, flexible dosing and access for ED patients who have difficulty swallowing oral tablets.”

In its written response, the FDA supported Aspargo’s plan to conduct a single dose bioequivalent study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, bioequivalency, tolerability and safety of the Company’s Sildenafil Oral Spray drug candidate, administered via a metered dose pump or individual single liquid unit, when compared to Viagra^® tablets. The randomized, single center, unblinded, three-way crossover study will seek to enroll a total of 72 healthy volunteers who will receive a single dose of Sildenafil Oral Spray administered via a dose metered pump, a single dose of Sildenafil Oral Spray administered via an individual single liquid unit or a single dose of Viagra® oral tablet. Thirty-six subjects will be treated under fed conditions and thirty-six subjects will be treated under fasting conditions.

The FDA did not object to the planned study design and patient populations, as well as plans for manufacturing and product testing, and did not recommend any additional studies in preparation for an IND submission and initiation of clinical trials.

Aspargo is collaborating with Pharmaceutics International, Inc. (Pii), a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization located in Hunt Valley, MD (www.pharm-int.com) to develop and manufacture Sildenafil Oral Spray for clinical trials. Pii is also laying the groundwork for the future commercial manufacturing requirements of Sildenafil Oral Spray in the U.S.
