PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Medicines Company (NASDAQ:MDCO) today announced its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2015.
Clive Meanwell, the company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “As anticipated, revenue in the second quarter of 2015 fell further as purchasers continued to hold out for the potential arrival of generic Angiomax. Now, with resolution of that uncertainty we have moved on. We have contracted with Sandoz to launch an authorized generic of Angiomax; we are winding down our R&D and promotional expenditures on that product; we have reduced our workforce by 13% since the beginning of the year; focused our commercial resources on recently approved products Kengreal, Ionsys, Orbactiv, the new formulation of Minocin for Injection and Raplixa; and continued R&D investments in our potential blockbuster investigational products ALN-PCSsc (PCSK9), MDCO-216 (ApoA1-Milano), Carbavance and ABP-700. We have also been exploring a range of strategic-partnering options to accelerate our business and unlock shareholder value - and we continue to do so assiduously. As we progress in the coming quarters, we anticipate continued growth of products other than Angiomax, expect news flow from ongoing R&D projects and aim to secure strategic partnerships.”

Approved Product Update:
- KengrealTM (cangrelor) – In June, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Kengreal, the first and only intravenous, reversible P2Y12 platelet inhibitor, as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to reduce the risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI), repeat coronary revascularization, and stent thrombosis (ST) in patients who have not been treated with a P2Y12 platelet inhibitor and are not being given a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor. The Kengreal U.S. launch team includes 85 field sales professionals who are introducing this product to the same cardiac catheterization laboratories in which they promoted Angiomax.
- Orbactiv® (oritavancin)- Formulary adoption programs continue on track, hospitals and infusion centers continue to revise care pathways to enable patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) caused by susceptible designated Gram-positive pathogens to be treated using a single infusion. In addition, reimbursement processes are adapting to this single dose treatment approach to ABSSSI patient management.
- Minocin® (minocycline) for Injection - On April 17, 2015, the FDA approved the sNDA for RPX-602 - a new formulation of Minocin for Injection, which allows for a lower dilution volume range to treat infections due to the susceptible strains of designated organisms, including those caused by Acinetobacter spp. In addition, the FDA designated RPX-602 as a qualified infectious disease product (QIDP) under the GAIN Act.
- Ionsys® (fentanyl iontophoretic transdermal system) - On April 30, 2015, the FDA approved Ionsys, the first needle-free, patient-controlled, pre-programmed fentanyl delivery system, for the short-term management of acute post-operative pain in adult patients requiring opioid analgesia in the hospital. Ionsys became available to the US market as anticipated in mid-July. The dedicated Ionsys U.S. launch team initially includes 65 dedicated field sales professionals. The Ionsys Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program to mitigate the risks of respiratory depression resulting from accidental exposure to persons for whom Ionsys is not prescribed is underway as required by the FDA.
- RaplixaTM (fibrin sealant (human)) - On April 30, 2015, the FDA approved Raplixa and the RaplixaSpray (RAPLIXA Delivery Device) as an adjunct to hemostasis for mild to moderate bleeding in adults undergoing surgery when control of bleeding by standard surgical techniques (such as suture, ligature and cautery) is ineffective or impractical. As stated previously, we are scaling manufacturing of Raplixa in preparation for launch.
Please see www.themedicinescompany.com for complete indication and important safety information for these products.
Investigational Product Candidates Update:
- ALN-PCSsc (PCSK9) – The Phase 1 clinical study of the investigational agent ALN-PCSsc in subjects with elevated low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is fully enrolled. The study is examining the effects of single or multiple subcutaneous doses of ALN-PCSsc on safety, pharmacokinetics, serum levels of LDL-C and plasma levels. Data from this study will be presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress on August 30th in London.
- MDCO-216 (ApoA-I Milano) – In May, the company presented new data from a Phase 1 clinical study which showed significant remodeling effects on HDL-cholesterol particles which may result in reduced plaque burden in patients with atherosclerotic disease. A clinical study to affirm cholesterol efflux and efflux saturation and to assess ultrasound-measured plaque regression is underway with results anticipated by the first quarter of 2016.
- ABP-700 – Data presented at the 2015 Annual Dutch Society of Anesthesiology Conference during the second quarter showed the compound’s anesthetic effect and potentially advantageous onset and offset attributes as well as promising characteristics related to respiration, blood pressure and heart rate. We expect additional clinical data will be presented at the American Society of Anesthesiologists annual meeting, October 24-28, 2015, in San Diego.
- Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) – Patient enrollment is continuing in the two ongoing Phase 3 TANGO clinical studies to assess the efficacy and safety of this anti-infective combination therapy in patients with complicated urinary tract infections including acute pyelonephritis and in patients with carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections. We expect data from multiple studies from the infectious disease portfolio will be presented at the American Society for Microbiology’s ICAAC 2015 conference in September in San Diego.
