By GlobalDataCorMedix chief executive officer Randy Milby said: "I am very pleased to have signed a definitive agreement with an established commercial partner, Wonik Group in South Korea, a professional and growing healthcare company in one of the key markets in East Asia.
"It will of course take some time to gain regulatory approval to market the product.
"In addition, the acceptance of the Neutrolin pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial protocol is a major milestone which provides us with a clearly defined development and regulatory pathway for Neutrolin in the United States, and we would like to thank the FDA for its continued guidance throughout this process."
The company seeks to in-license, develop and commercialise therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of cardiac, renal and infectious diseases.
Neutrolin, a catheter lock solution, is the company’s first commercial product in Germany, for the prevention of catheter related bloodstream infections and maintenance of catheter patency in tunneled, cuffed, central venous catheters used for vascular access in hemodialysis patients.
