HLS Therapeutics Inc. announced that effective August 13, 2021 it has entered into a promotional services agreement (the "Agreement") with Pfizer Inc. ("Pfizer") for the promotion of Vascepa in Canada. Vascepa is a first-in-class treatment designed to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiac events (cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, coronary revascularization or hospitalization for unstable angina) in statin-treated patients. Under terms of the Agreement, Pfizer will deploy a team across Canada to support education about Vascepa with primary care physician ("PCP") groups. HLS's existing salesforce of approximately 30 field personnel and support staff will remain primarily focused on the specialist physician audience. HLS will retain responsibility over Vascepa's commercialization and will record all revenue related to Vascepa sales in Canada.
