SIGA > SIGA Announces $13 Million of International Procurement Orders for Oral TPOXX(R) (Tecovirimat)
SIGA Technologies, Inc. (SIGA) (NASDAQ: SIGA), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the health security market, today announced approximately $13 million of procurement orders for oral TPOXX (tecovirimat), including $11 million for initial procurement from two new international jurisdictions and an approximate $2 million order from a country in the Asia Pacific region that has an established contract for oral TPOXX (tecovirimat).
"Procurement orders from new international jurisdictions have occurred as SIGA has received a large and ongoing number of inquiries about accessing oral TPOXX, highlighting the importance of health security preparedness," said Phil Gomez, CEO of SIGA. "We expect a portion of the courses of oral TPOXX delivered under these orders will be used for the treatment of active monkeypox cases and represent a first step in the response to this outbreak by the global public health community. By increasing both the scale and scope of TPOXX stockpiling, countries can be better prepared for the outbreak risks of smallpox, monkeypox, and other viruses in the orthopoxvirus family of viruses and make sure that patients are able to access a proven safe and effective treatment."
