"Two significant corporate milestones related to our growth strategy were successfully achieved during the third quarter of 2019. The first shipments of Onstryv® confirmed the pre-launch interest we saw from all channels, while the signing of an exclusive agreement for a heparin biosimilar will allow us to effectively target a significant commercial market opportunity", said Steve Saviuk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Valeo Pharma Inc. "We have set ambitious growth objectives for the Company and are confident in our abilities to deliver according to plan. Quality products such as Onstryv® and our heparin biosimilar will play a key role in achieving those objectives".
