Dow Jones Description

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing therapeutic protein-based products for the treatment of human diseases. The process for taking one of our discoveries to the marketplace is long, complex and very costly. It is difficult to predict the time it will take to reach the market with any given product candidate, but it would not be unusual to span ten years or more and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It is also a business of attrition; it is expected that, for the industry as a whole, less than 20% of the drug candidates entering human clinical trials will actually make it to the marketplace. For the products that do make it, particularly for those that address previously unmet medical needs, the markets can be significant, with a number of successful products selling in excess of $1 billion per year. RECOTHROM ® , recombinant thrombin, is a topical hemostatic agent used for the control of moderate bleeding during surgical procedures, which was approved by the FDA on January 17, 2008. We are marketing RECOTHROM in the U.S. using our own commercial infrastructure, which includes a dedicated field force of sales people and medical scientific liaisons. We have retained all RECOTHROM rights in the U.S. In June 2007, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Bayer Schering Pharma AG for development and commercialization of RECOTHROM outside of the U.S. ...
