Pila Pharma has signed a manufacturing agreement with Almac Sciences Limited, UK, for the production of XEN-D0501 active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).

“I am excited that we managed to finalize this contract right after the IPO when finances were secured. The scaling up of the company starting now, implies that we must also put extra focus on developing our internal structure to support the growth.
