EQL's key product Mellozzan® has now received Marketing Authorization approval from the health authority in Italy (AIFA), where it will be provided to patients by EQL's licensing partner Italfarmaco S.p.A.. The launch of Mellozzan® in Italy is expected in the end of fiscal year 2026/27 or early 2027/28.
Italy will be the second greenfield market for Mellozzan, after Germany, where EQL, with the help of Italfarmaco's local expertise and infrastructure, will build the brand and generate prescriptions. The response from doctors and patients in Germany has been very good and the EQL hopes for an equally positive response in Italy.
