About this project

The OMP did this in 2014/15 with a non-approval magistral preparation even in the most difficult cases of the recurrence of CL previously treated with chemotherapy, called “leishmania recidivans” or “lupoid leishmania”. Iranian researchers are about to submit a publication on their results obtained in cooperation with us from 2014 to 2015. They have asked us to help with a donation of our now registered LeiProtect®, produced in a German GMP-certified institution, for the coming CL wound season starting in November 2018 in Mashhad. Our policy is to validate our LeiProtect® in foreign leishmania endemic countries and to out-license LeiProtect® to Pasteur Institutes in CL endemic countries, where it can be produced for local needs at a far lower cost than in Germany .
1) to buy Leiprotect® from us, which is cheaper than the conventional treatment with antimony chemotherapy (€ 10 per medium sized lesion of 2 cm in diameter);
2) to produce it in the Iranian Pasteur institute, as the jet stream mixer from the German company YSTRAL needed to produce the gel is on the list of products which are not allowed to be sold to Iran.
Please help Leishmania patients in Iran affected by economic sanctions. Your donation of only € 10 will finance the treatment of one potentially disfiguring CL face lesion in Mashhad. Our aim is to help a minimum of 1,000 patients, with the kind support of an Iranian scientist currently working at Freiburg University. He can take the LeiProtect® vials with an official German certificate for the Iranian custom authorities from Freiburg to Mashhad in November 2018.
