KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC BB: PVCT, http://www.pvct.com), a development-stage oncology and dermatology biopharmaceutical company, has signed an agreement with Numoda Capital Innovations LLC (http://www.numodacapital.com) to license its TruPoints® strategic partnering platform.
Provectus will use Numoda’s TruPoints to facilitate transactions with potential licensing partners for PH-10, its therapy for the treatment of serious dermatological diseases, which recently showed positive Phase 2 clinical trial results in both Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis. The TruPoints platform will organize all due diligence material relating to the Phase 2 clinical trials, including business, scientific and contract manufacturing information and has the unique ability to include appropriate live trial information. All of this is expected to significantly facilitate the flow of information to potential licensees. Numoda’s TruPoints platform has a strong track record of helping numerous development stage biotech companies secure big pharma licensing agreements.
Craig Dees, Ph.D., CEO of Provectus said, “As we actively seek to out-license PH-10, Numoda TruPoints will enable the exchange of scientific and business information between Provectus and potential partners. We expect this platform to play a critical role in the out-licensing process when we formally engage an investment banker.”
