Horizon Pharma Public Limited Company 2016 Annual Report Competition ACTIMMUNE presently faces limited competition. ACTIMMUNE is the only drug currently approved by the FDA specifically for the treatment for CGD and SMO. While there are additional or alternative approaches used to treat patients with CGD and SMO, including the increasing trend towards the use of bone marrow transplants in patients with CGD, there are currently no medicines on the market that compete directly with ACTIMMUNE. In the United States, RAVICTI and BUPHENYL compete with generic forms of sodium phenylbutyrate. In Europe and certain other countries, RAVICTI and BUPHENYL compete with Pheburane, which is a sugar-coated version of sodium phenylbutyrate. Pheburane claims a taste advantage over BUPHENYL. However the volume of Pheburane that must be ingested multiple times per day is much greater than BUPHENYL, and significantly greater than RAVICTI, and is a barrier to patient compliance. Other than PROCYSBI, we are aware of two pharmaceutical products currently approved to treat cystinosis. Cystagon® (immediate-release cysteamine bitartrate capsules), is a systemic cystine-depleting therapy for cystinosis in the United States manufactured by Mylan N.V., and by Orphan Europe SARL in markets outside of the United States. Cystagon was approved by the FDA in 1994 and by the EC in 1997. Cystaran® (cysteamine ophthalmic solution) was approved by FDA in 2012 for treatment of corneal crystal accumulation in patients with cystinosis and is marketed by Sigma Tau Pharmaceuticals, Inc. While we believe that PROCYSBI will continue to be well received in the market, Cystagon remains on the market and we expect it will compete with PROCYSBI for the foreseeable future. We are not aware of any pharmaceutical company with an active program to develop an alternative therapy for cystinosis. Academic researchers in the United States and Europe are pursuing gene therapy and stem cell therapy, as well as pro-drug and PEGylated drug approaches as alternatives to cysteamine bitartrate. We believe that the development timeline to an approved product for these approaches is many years with substantial uncertainty. In relation to QUINSAIR, chronic pulmonary infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa are currently treated primarily with inhaled antibiotics, including tobramycin, an aminoglycoside-class antibiotic sold by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation as TOBI® or in dry-powder-inhalation format as TOBI Podhaler® and sold by others in generic form, aztreonam, a monobacter-class antibiotic which is marketed in an inhaled formulation by Gilead Sciences, Inc. under the tradename Cayston®, and colistimethate sodium, a polymixin-class antibiotic which is approved and marketed in inhaled formulations in Europe. Tobramycin, aztreonam and colistimethane are primarily effective against gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, the prevalence of multi-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is growing. Thus, we believe there is an unmet need that might be addressed with a new class of inhaled antibiotic such as the fluoruquinolone class that levofloxacin represents. RHEUMATOLOGY BUSINESS UNIT Market Chronic Refractory Gout Chronic refractory gout, or CRG, is a type of arthritis that occurs when uric acid build-up in the blood remains high and inflammation persists even after treatment with conventional therapies. Gout is one of the most common forms of inflammatory arthritis, estimated to affect 8.3 million in the United States, with CRG impacting 40,000 to 50,000 people in the United States. CRG frequently causes crippling disabilities and significant joint damage. 9 .

Endogenously, cysteamine is derived from coenzyme A degradation, although its plasma concentrations are low. Most experience with cysteamine as a drug originates from the field of the orphan disease cystinosis, in which cysteamine is prescribed to decrease intralysosomal cystine accumulation. However, over the years, the drug has been used for several other applications both in vitro and in vivo. In this article, we review the different applications of cysteamine, ending with an overview of ongoing clinical trials for new indications, such as neurodegenerative disorders and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The recent development of an enteric-coated cysteamine formulation makes cysteamine more patient friendly and will extend its applicability for both old and new indications. Endogenous cysteamine production cysteine, it is oxidized into taurine by hypotaurine dehydrogenase Cysteamine (synonyms: b-mercaptoethylamine, 2-aminoetha- (Fig. 1b). Taurine is excreted either in urine, or in feces in the form nethiol, 2-mercaptoethylamine, decarboxycysteine, thioethano- of bile salts [3].

  • Cysteine, Glutathione, and Thiol Redox Balance in Astrocytes
    antioxidants Review Cysteine, Glutathione, and Thiol Redox Balance in Astrocytes Gethin J. McBean School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science, Conway Institute, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland; [email protected]; Tel.: +353-1-716-6770 Received: 13 July 2017; Accepted: 1 August 2017; Published: 3 August 2017 Abstract: This review discusses the current understanding of cysteine and glutathione redox balance in astrocytes. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of oxidative stress and astrocyte activation on pathways that provide cysteine as a precursor for glutathione. The effect of the disruption of thiol-containing amino acid metabolism on the antioxidant capacity of astrocytes is also discussed. − Keywords: cysteine; cystine; cysteamine; cystathionine; glutathione; xc cystine-glutamate exchanger; transsulfuration 1. Introduction Thiol groups, whether contained within small molecules, peptides, or proteins, are highly reactive and prone to spontaneous oxidation. Free cysteine readily oxidises to its corresponding disulfide, cystine, that together form the cysteine/cystine redox couple. Similarly, the tripeptide glutathione (γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) exists in both reduced (GSH) and oxidised (glutathione disulfide; GSSG) forms, depending on the oxidation state of the sulfur atom on the cysteine residue. In the case of proteins, the free sulfhydryl group on cysteines can adopt a number of oxidation states, ranging from disulfides (–S–S–) and sulfenic acids (–SOOH), which are reversible, to the more oxidised sulfinic (–SOO2H) and sulfonic acids (–SOO3H), which are not. These latter species may arise as a result of chronic and/or severe oxidative stress, and generally indicate a loss of function of irreversibly oxidised proteins. Methionine residues oxidise to the corresponding sulfoxide, which can be rescued enzymatically by methionine sulfoxide reductase [1].

  • Cysteamine-Containing Products Policy #: Rx.01.136
    Pharmacy Policy Bulletin Title: Cysteamine-Containing Products Policy #: Rx.01.136 Application of pharmacy policy is determined by benefits and contracts. Benefits may vary based on product line, group, or contract. Some medications may be subject to precertification, age, quantity, or formulary restrictions (ie limits on non- preferred drugs). Individual member benefits must be verified. This pharmacy policy document describes the status of pharmaceutical information and/or technology at the time the document was developed. Since that time, new information relating to drug efficacy, interactions, contraindications, dosage, administration routes, safety, or FDA approval may have changed. This Pharmacy Policy will be regularly updated as scientific and medical literature becomes available. This information may include new FDA-approved indications, withdrawals, or other FDA alerts. This type of information is relevant not only when considering whether this policy should be updated, but also when applying it to current requests for coverage. Members are advised to use participating pharmacies in order to receive the highest level of benefits. Intent: The intent of this policy is to communicate the medical necessity criteria for cysteamine Hydrochloride (Cystaran®/Cystadrops®) and cysteamine bitartrate (Cystagon®/ Procysbi®) as provided under the member's prescription drug benefit. Description: Cystinosis is a rare, genetic disorder in which the amino acid cystine accumulates in tissues and organs, most commonly the kidneys and eyes. Treatment with cysteamine should be initiated as soon as the diagnosis is made to preserve kidney function, prevent hypothyroidism, and improve growth in affected children. Orally administered cysteamine does not reach the cornea, thus ophthalmic administration is necessary for accumulation of corneal cystine crystals.

  • Appraisal of NICE's Cost-Effectiveness Thresholds for Assessing Orphan
    Master's Degree Dissertation Appraisal of NICE’s cost-effectiveness thresholds for assessing orphan drugs Author: Ruodan Nan Master's Degree in Health Economics and Pharmacoeconomics UPF Barcelona School of Management Academic Year 2018 – 2021 Mentor: Laura Vallejo 1 Project performed within the framework of the Health Economics and Pharmacoeconomics program taught by Barcelona School of Management, a centre associated with Pompeu Fabra University 2 Abstract A rare disease is one that affects less than 1 in 2,000 in general population, and they are often chronic and life-threatening [1]. Due to the high cost to develop and small market for orphan drugs, historically manufacturers are reluctantly to explore the rare disease therapeutic areas. There is highly unmet need from patients with rare diseases. As the pharmaceutical expenditure rises, governments around the world are increasingly under pressure to contain the costs on drug reimbursement. Meanwhile patients with rare diseases need to be ensured for access to orphan drugs, and the industry needs to be incentivized to innovate. Health technology assessment and reimbursement bodies set out measures and policies for orphan drugs to be given market access. In this literature review, the landscape of health technology appraisals for orphan drugs in England UK is studied. The process for an orphan drug to gain marketing authorisation in the European Union (EU), the methods and criteria that used by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) are reviewed. All orphan drugs with marketing authorisations from European Medicine Agency (EMA) are searched from the agency’s online database, whereas each of the authorised orphan drug is searched in NICE’s database for any technology appraisals and recommendations made for the orphan drug.
