  • Initiation of Francis Trial
    August 25‚ 2008 ANTHERA PHARMACEUTICALS ADVANCES GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR VARESPLADIB IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME WITH THE INITIATION OF FRANCIS TRIAL SAN MATEO, CA – August 25, 2008 – Anthera Pharmaceuticals Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company developing anti-inflammatory drugs, today announced the initiation of the FRANCIS (Fewer Recurrent Acute coronary events with Near-term Cardiovascular Inflammation Suppression) clinical trial designed to examine the impact of varespladib when administered to patients within 96 hours of an Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) event. The FRANCIS trial is designed to assess the impact of oral varespladib on known biological markers of cardiovascular risk. It will enroll up to 500 patients that will be treated for a minimum of six months. The study will be conducted at sites in North America and Europe. FRANCIS will provide insight into the prevention of secondary Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) over the duration of the trial. In this study, MACE is defined as a composite endpoint consisting of cardiovascular death, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and a subset of revascularization following the initial event. During the course of the study, patients will receive therapeutic standard of care in addition to high dose Lipitor ® (atorvastatin). In previous clinical trials, varespladib, a potent and highly selective inhibitor of secretory phospholipase A 2 (sPLA 2), has demonstrated marked improvements in independent markers of cardiovascular risk including, a near complete suppression of the target enzyme sPLA 2, a clinically meaningful and statistically significant reduction in “bad” LDL cholesterol, and a reduction in C-reactive protein, a known marker of inflammation.

  • The Weekly Shot Biotech Issue a Weekly Summary of Healthcare Industry Valuation and Near-Term Catalysts June 17, 2010
    Small Cap The Weekly Shot Biotech Issue June 17, 2010 A weekly summary of healthcare industry valuation and near-term catalysts The Weekly Shot: Overview and Comment - Small Cap Biotechnology Next week's sector highlights include LGND’s Thursday analyst event at the Eventi - Pharmaceuticals and Large Cap Biotech Hotel in NYC. The company on 6/15 announced updated 2010 revenue guidance of approx $25M, op ex of approx $30M, and expects to finish the year with $30M - Generics and Specialty Pharmaceuticals in cash (vs approx $43M as of 1Q10). Management will likely focus on partner GSK’s progress with add’l trials of Promacta (for ITP), which could potentially expand the drug’s label to Hep C, AML, and MDS (LGND receives <10% royalty from GSK). Investors should focus on pipeline plans following LGND’s opportunistic 2008/09 M&A activity. Key pipeline programs include LGD-4033 (ph.I, SARM candidate from PCOP) and RG7348, partnered with Roche (ph.I, Hep C candidate from MBRX). We do not expect major data announcements at the event. FDA’s Pediatric Drugs Advisory Committee will meet Monday to discuss pediatric safety reviews of multiple approved drugs, including Kogenate, Casodex, Apidra, NovoLog, Arimidex, Desmopressin, Prevacid, Nexium, Aciphex, Priolex, OraVerse, Zemuron, and Suprane . While important from a public safety perspective, we do not anticipate regulatory activity to be announced.
