- MedinCell S.A. (MEDCL.PA) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops long-acting injectable (LAI) therapies using its proprietary BEPO® technology platform, which employs biodegradable polymers and a biocompatible solvent to enable controlled and prolonged release of active pharmaceutical ingredients via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. The company offers a portfolio of product candidates across therapeutic areas including schizophrenia, post-operative pain, and malaria; key programs include UZEDY® (risperidone LAI, partnered with Teva Pharmaceuticals and launched in the US in 2023 as SteadyTeq™), olanzapine LAI (mdc-TJK, in Phase 3 for schizophrenia with Teva, featuring a favorable safety profile without post-injection delirium/sedation syndrome and NDA submission planned for late 2025), mdc-CWM (celecoxib sustained-release for post-total knee replacement pain, in Phase 3 with Arthritis Innovation Corporation), and additional preclinical and discovery-stage initiatives targeting infectious diseases and other indications. MedinCell collaborates with global pharmaceutical partners and foundations to advance its pipeline, serving patients, physicians, biotech firms, and pharmaceutical companies worldwide with operations focused from its headquarters in Jacou, France. Founded in 2003, the company recently entered a strategic co-development and licensing agreement with AbbVie in April 2024 to develop up to six LAI products across multiple therapeutic areas, receiving a $35 million upfront payment and potential milestones up to $1.9 billion plus royalties; completed a successful €43 million global offering in February 2025 to expand BEPO® into new molecules and indications; reported strong UZEDY® sales growth with raised 2025 revenue outlook to $190-200 million; achieved positive Phase 3 data for olanzapine LAI and mdc-CWM; received a new grant to fight malaria; and established MedinCell Inc. as a US subsidiary.
