Ivabradine Hydrochloride

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 6, 2025 — Some people find that when they stand, their hearts tend to race and they get dizzy and lightheaded. This is due to a rare condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome , or POTS – and doctors think they’ve found a potential treatment. An established heart failure drug called ivabradine appears to provide lasting relief for people suffering from POTS, according to results from a pilot study. The drug kept POTS patients’ hearts from racing and significantly improved other symptoms while not affecting their overall blood pressure, researchers recently reported in the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology . “These data suggest that the inappropriate increase in heart rate is exactly why patients feel sick, and that reducing the heart rate with a medication that does not affect blood pressure can make a difference in the quality of life,” senior researcher Dr. Antonio Abbate , a cardiologist at University of Virginia Health, said in a news release. POTS is rare, affecting 1% or less of the general population, but it’s become a hot topic on TikTok and other social media, researchers said in background notes. Many patients complain they have trouble getting a diagnosis, because it’s still not clear exactly what causes POTS, researchers said. “Patients go doctor to doctor because the primary care may not be familiar or know what to do. The cardiologist thinks it is not a heart problem – and it indeed it is not,” Abbate said. “The neurologist says there is no issue with the brain – and indeed there isn’t. It's really a ‘software’ problem rather than a ‘hardware’ issue.” Ivabradine ( Corlanor ) is used to prevent heart failure from growing worse. The drug affects the heart’s electrical activity, slowing the heart rate. Given that POTS’ chief feature is a surging heart rate, researchers suspected that ivabradine might be able to help some with the condition. The team gave ivabradine to 10 patients with POTS. The patients’ average age was 28, and 8 of the 10 were women. Results showed that patients given ivabradine had better heart-rate control after they stood up. Prior to treatment with the drug, their heart rates jumped by an average of 40 beats per minute when they stood. After taking ivabradine, the increase was only 15 beats per minute. There also was a 69% decrease in feeling faint and 66% decrease in chest pain, participants reported. This overall improvement suggests that the surging heart rate drives the other symptoms of POTS, researchers said. They suspect that standing might trigger in POTS patients an excessive release of the “fight or flight” hormone norephinephrine, which causes the heart to race. “The mechanisms controlling heart rate with standing appear to be dysfunctional, leading to an excessive increase in heart rate, which is in turn sensed by the brain as a ‘danger’ signal leading to further release of stress hormone, norepinephrine, and to symptoms that resemble anxiety and panic attacks,” Abbate said. “When the heart rate is controlled with ivabradine, the loop is inhibited and patients feel better.” However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and better understand the causes of POTS, researchers said. “Once considered to be purely a compensatory mechanism secondary to low blood pressure, the high heart rate may itself be responsible for the symptoms,” Abbate said. “A better understanding on how heart rate is regulated and how it can affect symptoms may lead to better treatments for patients with POTS.” Sources University of Virginia, news release, July 31, 2025

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this news release, management has presented its operating results for the fourth quarters and full years of 2024 and 2023, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, management has presented its full year 2025 EPS and tax guidance in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are computed by excluding certain items related to acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring and certain other items from the related GAAP financial measures. Management has presented Free Cash Flow (FCF), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fourth quarters and full years of 2024 and 2023. FCF is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management has also presented Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and debt leverage ratio for 2024, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is computed by adding interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense to GAAP net income. Debt leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of GAAP total debt to EBITDA. The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to enhance an investor's overall understanding of the financial performance and prospects for the future of the Company's normal and recurring business activities by facilitating comparisons of results of normal and recurring business operations among current, past and future periods. The Company believes that FCF provides a further measure of the Company's liquidity. The Company believes its debt leverage ratio provides a supplemental operating metric for the full year period as it compares the amount of cash generated by our operations for the year. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth in the news release in connection with its own budgeting and financial planning internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. The non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission reports filed by Amgen , including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Unless otherwise noted, Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Our results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products including biosimilars, difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products and global economic conditions. In addition, sales of our products are affected by pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny and reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products, including our devices, after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. In addition, our business may be impacted by the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors, or we may fail to prevail in present and future intellectual property litigation. We perform a substantial amount of our commercial manufacturing activities at a few key facilities, including in Puerto Rico, and also depend on third parties for a portion of our manufacturing activities, and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. An outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, such as COVID-19, and the public and governmental effort to mitigate against the spread of such disease, could have a significant adverse effect on the supply of materials for our manufacturing activities, the distribution of our products, the commercialization of our product candidates, and our clinical trial operations, and any such events may have a material adverse effect on our product development, product sales, business and results of operations. We rely on collaborations with third parties for the development of some of our product candidates and for the commercialization and sales of some of our commercial products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to many of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Certain of our distributors, customers and payers have substantial purchasing leverage in their dealings with us. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to collaborate with or acquire other companies, products or technology, and to integrate the operations of companies or to support the products or technology we have acquired, may not be successful. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to realize any of the strategic benefits, synergies or opportunities arising from the Horizon acquisition, and such benefits, synergies or opportunities may take longer to realize than expected. We may not be able to successfully integrate Horizon, and such integration may take longer, be more difficult or cost more than expected. A breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach of our information technology systems could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and our data. Our stock price is volatile and may be affected by a number of events. Our business and operations may be negatively affected by the failure, or perceived failure, of achieving our environmental, social and governance objectives. The effects of global climate change and related natural disasters could negatively affect our business and operations. Global economic conditions may magnify certain risks that affect our business. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock. We may not be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

(b) For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the adjustments related primarily to acquisition-related costs related to our Horizon acquisition. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustments related primarily to acquisition-related costs related to our Horizon acquisition. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustments related primarily to noncash amortization of intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions. (c) For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the adjustments related primarily to acquisition-related costs related to our Horizon acquisition. (d) For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the adjustments related to separation costs associated with our restructuring plan and other cost-savings initiatives. (e) For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the adjustments related primarily to impairment charges for IPR&D intangible assets related to our Teneobio, Inc. acquisition from 2021.

(h) The tax effect of the adjustments between our GAAP and non-GAAP results takes into account the tax treatment and related tax rate(s) that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction(s). Generally, the tax impact of adjustments, including the amortization of intangible assets and acquired inventory, gains and losses on our investments in equity securities and expenses related to restructuring and cost-savings initiatives, depends on whether the amounts are deductible in the respective tax jurisdictions and the applicable tax rate(s) in those jurisdictions. Due to these factors, the effective tax rate for the adjustments to our GAAP income before income taxes for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was 20.7% and 19.4%, respectively, compared to 18.6% and 20.3% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.
