VANCOUVER, British Colombia and BARCELONA, Spain, Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BioVaxys Technology Corp.

Following the binding Term Sheet executed by the two companies in early October 2022, the Distributorship Agreement finalized all remaining aspects of the transaction.

Developed by Procare Health, Papilocare® is the world's first and only patented vaginal gel product with clinical evidence to prevent and treat HPV-dependent cervical lesions. Immunocaps®, which can be used alone or in conjunction with Papilocare®, is an over-the-counter oral nutritional supplement that supports immune function and vaginal microbiota to help re-epithelialization of cervical lesions.

Yann Gaslain, Founder and CEO of Procare Health Iberia, commented: "We are delighted with this agreement, and if Papilocare® is approved by the FDA, to give millions of American women access to a new treatment for cervical lesions caused by HPV. Papilocare is already approved in Europe and is available in 46 countries worldwide.In several clinical trials involving more than 600 patients, Papilocare© demonstrated consistent and significant efficacy in normalizing cervical cytology at three months and at six months in the total study population with 50% to 70% clearance of high-risk HPV at six months."

BioVaxys will immediately begin seeking regulatory approval for Papilocare® with the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and anticipates registration in the US as a Class II medical device. Since Immunocaps® is an over-the-counter supplement, BioVaxys anticipates that regulatory approval will not be required, allowing for the rapid creation of sales channels and revenue generation from the product. BioVaxys plans to start stocking and distributing Immunocaps© in early 2023.

Pursuant to the term sheet executed in October, BioVaxys and Procare Health will begin discussions regarding the Company's right of refusal in the United States for Ovosicare® and Libicare®, Procare Health's over-the-counter supplements to support the improvement of fertility for late childbearing or IVF processes and improvements in menopausal symptoms, including low libido among women undergoing menopausal changes.

Kenneth Kovan, President and COO of BioVaxys, said: "We are delighted to have been selected by Procare Health to market Papilocare® and Immunocaps© in the US and, together with Procare Health, we look forward to playing an important role in the treatment of cervical lesions caused by HPV and what we hope will be a concomitant reduction in cases of cervical cancer.
