Strong Cresemba® (isavuconazole) sales performance in Asia Pacific and China triggers further milestone payment to Basilea

Allschwil, Switzerland, June 05, 2025

Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd, Allschwil (SIX: BSLN), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to meeting the needs of patients with severe bacterial and fungal infections, announced today that the continued strong sales performance of the antifungal Cresemba® (isavuconazole) by its license partner Pfizer Inc. in the Asia Pacific region and China exceeded the sales threshold triggering the second USD 2.5 million milestone payment this year.

David Veitch, Basilea’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: "This milestone payment for the Asia Pacific region, including China, reflects the strong and growing global demand for novel antifungal therapies. Continued growth of Cresemba, particularly in China, where uptake has been especially robust, reinforces its significant clinical value for patients facing life-threatening infections. We congratulate our partner Pfizer for their ongoing commitment to making Cresemba available to patients in need.”

The license agreement between Basilea and Pfizer for Cresemba covers Europe (excluding the Nordic countries) as well as China and 16 countries in the Asia Pacific region.

Cresemba is marketed in more than 70 countries. According to the latest available market data, total global in-market sales of Cresemba in the twelve-month period between January and December 2024 amounted to USD 562 million, a 19 percent growth year-on-year, making it the largest branded antifungal for invasive fungal infections worldwide.1
