Wyeth (now Pfizer)

Zealand Pharma entered into an agreement with Wyeth in April 2003.  Under this agreement, Zealand Pharma granted Wyeth exclusive, worldwide rights to co-develop, manufacture and market Rotigaptide (ZP123) for any indication, and in  February 2004 extended this to new collaborative activities relating to gap-junction modulators. 

In 2007 Wyeth has finalized a global multi-centre Phase IIa safety and tolerability trial with rotigaptide in patients with large myocardial infarcts.

In October 2007 Wyeth advanced the first orally available gap junction modifier Danegaptide (ZP1609/GAP-134) into phase I clinical trials in the US.  Danegaptide has shown pharmacological effects in animal models of both ventricular and atrial arrhythmias, and with its oral formulation, the molecule represents a novel paradigm for the potential chronic prevention of cardiac arrhythmias.

In 2009 Wyeth was taken over by Pfizer.
