All these contracts provide for the production of Myring™ at the Mithra CDMO, which has tripled its production capacity to meet orders placed, and the expected market increase. The production phase of the commercial batches for the European market was successfully launched in early 2019 and will continue in the second half of the year. In Europe, Mithra has eight Marketing Authorizations for Myring™, including the United Kingdom, Latvia, Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.

About Myring™

Myring™ is developed to be a generic of Nuvaring® vaginal ring, still under patent protection up to April 2018 both in the US and in EU. Myring™ (etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring) is a non-biodegradable, flexible, transparent, combination contraceptive vaginal ring, with an outer diameter of 54 mm and a cross-sectional diameter of 4 mm. It is made of ethylene vinylacetate copolymers, and contains 11.7 mg etonogestrel and 2.7 mg ethinyl estradiol. When placed in the vagina, each ring releases, in line with the originator (Nuvaring®), on average 0.120 mg/day of etonogestrel and 0.015 mg/day of ethinyl estradiol over a three-week period of use. The ring is to remain in place continuously for three weeks. It is removed for a one-week break, during which a withdrawal bleed usually occurs. A new ring is inserted one week after the last ring was removed.
