Analysis from a 10-month post-launch evaluation of the REMS Program finds 2.8% incidence of LVEF <50% in over 1500 patients, strengthening the safety pro CAMZYOS® (mavacamten) for NYHA class II-III obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Real-world data reaffirm therapeutic value and treatment benefit of CAMZYOS in improving cardiac symptoms and NYHA class in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bristol Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) today announced the presentation of data at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Annual Scientific Session & Expo, taking place April 6-8, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia. “The therapeutic benefit of CAMZYOS in real-world practice, demonstrated by our data at ACC, builds on the well-established clinical program and further underscores the importance of this transformational medicine which is the first and only approved cardiac myosin inhibitor. With thousands of patients around the world treated to date, CAMZYOS is redefining the treatment landscape for this patient population and may offer hope to countless others moving forward,” said Roland Chen, MD, Senior Vice President and Head of Development, Immunology, Cardiovascular & Neurology. “In addition to showcasing our growing body of real-world evidence and safety data for CAMZYOS at ACC, we look forward to highlighting additional data from our cardiovascular portfolio, including an analysis of the real-world clinical impact of ELIQUIS.” Research to be presented at the meeting supports the robust safety and clinical pro CAMZYOS® (mavacamten) and compliance with the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program. These data include: An analysis of results from the 10-month post-launch evaluation of the CAMZYOS REMS Program in 1,524 patients with patient status forms submitted, which demonstrated that approximately 1% (n=17) of patients reported clinical heart failure requiring hospitalization and 2.8% (n=43) of patients reported a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to <50%. These data are consistent with the clinical development program and reinforce the safety pro CAMZYOS in clinical practice. These data (abstract 1075-07) will be featured as a moderated poster on Sunday, April 7 from 1:30 PM – 1:40 PM ET. A single-center real-world experience analysis of 53 patients treated with CAMZYOS which found that at 24 weeks, CAMZYOS led to improvements in cardiovascular symptoms (96%) and improvements in one or more New York Heart Association (NYHA) class (49%). Additionally, resting and Valsalva LVOT gradient decreased during the first four weeks after starting treatment, with statistically significant reductions from baseline at week 24 (P<0.001). No patients required cessation of treatment due to reduction of LVEF to <50% or other side effects, though two patients required temporary drug discontinuation due to Valsalva LVOT gradient less than 20 mmHg during the 24-week treatment period. These data (abstract 1424-134) will be featured as a poster on Sunday, April 7 from 1:15 PM – 2:00 PM ET. The BMS-Pfizer Alliance will also present research at the meeting that adds to the robust body of evidence pertaining to the safety and efficacy pro ELIQUIS® (apixaban). These data include: A real-world evidence study of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients on Medicare previously treated with warfarin and switched to a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC: apixaban, dabigatran, or rivaroxaban), which found that those who received ELIQUIS had a statistically significant lower risk of stroke/systemic embolism (S/SE) and major bleeding (MB) than those patients who received rivaroxaban (S/SE HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.85-0.97 and MB HR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.65-0.72) or dabigatran (S/SE HR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.72-0.96 and MB HR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.71-0.89). This pairwise comparative analysis provides the rates of S/SE and MB shown in patients with NVAF on Medicare associated with switching from warfarin to different DOACs. This effectiveness and safety information about ELIQUIS use in clinical practice can supplement data from randomized clinical trials. These data (abstract 1306-157) will be featured as a poster on Saturday, April 6 from 2:45 PM – 3:00 PM ET.

Poster – 1075-09 1075 - Bulking Up: Advances in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy 1:45 PM – 1:55 PM *Sponsored by the Bristol Myers Squibb-Pfizer Alliance About CAMZYOS® (mavacamten) CAMZYOS® (mavacamten) is the first and only cardiac myosin inhibitor approved in the U.S., indicated for the treatment of adults with symptomatic New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) to improve functional capacity and symptoms, and in the European Union, indicated for the treatment of symptomatic (NYHA, class II-III) obstructive HCM in adult patients. It has also received regulatory approvals on five continents including in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Israel, Singapore, South Korea, and Switzerland. CAMZYOS is an allosteric and reversible inhibitor selective for cardiac myosin. CAMZYOS modulates the number of myosin heads that can enter “on actin” (power-generating) states, thus reducing the probability of force-producing (systolic) and residual (diastolic) cross-bridge formation. Excess myosin actin cross-bridge formation and dysregulation of the super-relaxed state are mechanistic hallmarks of HCM. CAMZYOS shifts the overall myosin population towards an energy-sparing, recruitable, super-relaxed state. In HCM patients, myosin inhibition with CAMZYOS reduces dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and improves cardiac filling pressures. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: RISK OF HEART FAILURE CAMZYOS reduces left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and can cause heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. Echocardiogram assessments of LVEF are required prior to and during treatment with CAMZYOS. Initiation of CAMZYOS in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended. Interrupt CAMZYOS if LVEF is <50% at any visit or if the patient experiences heart failure symptoms or worsening clinical status. Concomitant use of CAMZYOS with certain cytochrome P450 inhibitors or discontinuation of certain cytochrome P450 inducers may increase the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction; therefore, the use of CAMZYOS is contraindicated with the following: Moderate to strong CYP2C19 inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors Moderate to strong CYP2C19 inducers or moderate to strong CYP3A4 inducers Because of the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction, CAMZYOS is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the CAMZYOS REMS PROGRAM. CONTRAINDICATIONS CAMZYOS is contraindicated with concomitant use of: Moderate to strong CYP2C19 inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors Moderate to strong CYP2C19 inducers or moderate to strong CYP3A4 inducers WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Heart Failure CAMZYOS reduces systolic contraction and can cause heart failure or totally block ventricular function. Patients who experience a serious intercurrent illness (e.g., serious infection) or arrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation or other uncontrolled tachyarrhythmia) are at greater risk of developing systolic dysfunction and heart failure. Assess the patient’s clinical status and LVEF prior to and regularly during treatment and adjust the CAMZYOS dose accordingly. New or worsening arrhythmia, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, leg edema, or elevations in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may be signs and symptoms of heart failure and should also prompt an evaluation of cardiac function. Asymptomatic LVEF reduction, intercurrent illnesses, and arrhythmias require additional dosing considerations. Initiation of CAMZYOS in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended. Avoid concomitant use of CAMZYOS in patients on disopyramide, ranolazine, verapamil with a beta blocker, or diltiazem with a beta blocker as these medications and combinations increase the risk of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure symptoms and clinical experience is limited. CYP 450 Drug Interactions Leading to Heart Failure or Loss of Effectiveness CAMZYOS is primarily metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 enzymes. Concomitant use of CAMZYOS and drugs that interact with these enzymes may lead to life-threatening drug interactions such as heart failure or loss of effectiveness. Advise patients of the potential for drug interactions, including with over-the-counter medications (such as omeprazole, esomeprazole, or cimetidine). Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider of all concomitant products prior to and during CAMZYOS treatment. CAMZYOS Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program CAMZYOS is only available through a restricted program called the CAMZYOS REMS Program because of the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. Notable requirements of the CAMZYOS REMS Program include the following: Prescribers must be certified by enrolling in the REMS Program. Patients must enroll in the REMS Program and comply with ongoing monitoring requirements. Pharmacies must be certified by enrolling in the REMS Program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive CAMZYOS. Wholesalers and distributors must only distribute to certified pharmacies. Further information is available at or by telephone at 1-833-628-7367. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity CAMZYOS may cause fetal toxicity when administered to a pregnant female, based on animal studies. Confirm absence of pregnancy in females of reproductive potential prior to treatment and advise patients to use effective contraception during treatment with CAMZYOS and for 4 months after the last dose. CAMZYOS may reduce the effectiveness of combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs). Advise patients using CHCs to use an alternative contraceptive method that is not affected by CYP 450 enzyme induction or to add nonhormonal contraception. Advise females of reproductive potential about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to CAMZYOS during pregnancy. ADVERSE REACTIONS In the EXPLORER-HCM trial, adverse reactions occurring in >5% of patients and more commonly in the CAMZYOS group than in the placebo group were dizziness (27% vs 18%) and syncope (6% vs 2%). There were no new adverse reactions identified in VALOR-HCM. Effects on Systolic Function In the EXPLORER-HCM trial, mean (SD) resting LVEF was 74% (6) at baseline in both treatment groups. Mean (SD) absolute change from baseline in LVEF was -4% (8) in the CAMZYOS group and 0% (7) in the placebo group over the 30-week treatment period. At Week 38, following an 8-week interruption of trial drug, mean LVEF was similar to baseline for both treatment groups. In the EXPLORER-HCM trial, 7 (6%) patients in the CAMZYOS group and 2 (2%) patients in the placebo group experienced reversible reductions in LVEF <50% (median 48%: range 35-49%) while on treatment. In all 7 patients treated with CAMZYOS, LVEF recovered following interruption of CAMZYOS. DRUG INTERACTIONS Potential for Other Drugs to Affect Plasma Concentrations of CAMZYOS CAMZYOS is primarily metabolized by CYP2C19 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. Inducers and inhibitors of CYP2C19 and moderate to strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 may affect the exposures of CAMZYOS. Impact of Other Drugs on CAMZYOS: Moderate to Strong CYP2C19 Inhibitors or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Concomitant use increases CAMZYOS exposure, which may increase the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. Concomitant use is contraindicated. Moderate to Strong CYP2C19 Inducers or Moderate to Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Concomitant use decreases CAMZYOS exposure, which may reduce CAMZYOS’ efficacy. The risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction may increase with discontinuation of these inducers as the levels of induced enzyme normalizes. Concomitant use is contraindicated. Weak CYP2C19 Inhibitors or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Concomitant use with a weak CYP2C19 inhibitor or a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor increases CAMZYOS exposure, which may increase the risk of adverse drug reactions. Initiate CAMZYOS at the recommended starting dose of 5 mg orally once daily in patients who are on stable therapy with a weak CYP2C19 inhibitor or a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. Reduce dose of CAMZYOS by one level (i.e., 15 to 10 mg, 10 to 5 mg, or 5 to 2.5 mg) in patients who are on CAMZYOS treatment and intend to initiate a weak CYP2C19 inhibitor or a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. Schedule clinical and echocardiographic assessment 4 weeks after inhibitor initiation, and do not up-titrate CAMZYOS until 12 weeks after inhibitor initiation. Avoid initiation of concomitant weak CYP2C19 and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients who are on stable treatment with 2.5 mg of CAMZYOS because a lower dose is not available. Potential for CAMZYOS to Affect Plasma Concentrations of Other Drugs CAMZYOS is an inducer of CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. Concomitant use with CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2C9 substrates may reduce plasma concentration of these drugs. Closely monitor when CAMZYOS is used in combination with CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2C9 substrates where decreases in the plasma concentration of these drugs may reduce their activity. Hormonal Contraceptives: Progestin and ethinyl estradiol are CYP3A4 substrates. Concomitant use of CAMZYOS may decrease exposures of ethinyl estradiol and progestin, which may lead to contraceptive failure or an increase in breakthrough bleeding. Advise patients to use a contraceptive method that is not affected by CYP 450 enzyme induction (e.g., intrauterine system) or add nonhormonal contraception (such as condoms) during concomitant use and for 4 months after the last dose of CAMZYOS. Drugs That Reduce Cardiac Contractility Expect additive negative inotropic effects of CAMZYOS and other drugs that reduce cardiac contractility. Avoid concomitant use of CAMZYOS in patients on disopyramide, ranolazine, verapamil with a beta blocker, or diltiazem with a beta blocker as these medications and combinations increase the risk of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure symptoms and clinical experience is limited. If concomitant therapy with a negative inotrope is initiated, or if the dose of a negative inotrope is increased, monitor LVEF closely until stable doses and clinical response have been achieved. SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy CAMZYOS may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant female. Advise pregnant females about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to CAMZYOS during pregnancy. There is a pregnancy safety study for CAMZYOS. If CAMZYOS is administered during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while receiving CAMZYOS or within 4 months after the last dose of CAMZYOS, healthcare providers should report CAMZYOS exposure by contacting Bristol Myers Squibb at 1-800-721-5072 or . Lactation The presence of CAMZYOS in human or animal milk, the drug’s effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production are unknown. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for CAMZYOS and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from CAMZYOS or from the underlying maternal condition. Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Confirm absence of pregnancy in females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of CAMZYOS. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with CAMZYOS and for 4 months after the last dose. Use of CAMZYOS may reduce the effectiveness of CHCs. Advise patients using CHCs to use an alternative contraceptive method or add nonhormonal contraception. Please see U.S. Full Prescribing Information, including Boxed WARNING and Medication Guide. About ELIQUIS ® (apixaban) ELIQUIS® is an oral selective Factor Xa inhibitor. By inhibiting Factor Xa, a key blood clotting protein, ELIQUIS decreases thrombin generation and blood clot formation. ELIQUIS is approved for multiple indications in the U.S. based on efficacy and safety data from multiple Phase 3 clinical trials. ELIQUIS is a prescription medicine indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF); for the prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may lead to pulmonary embolism (PE), in patients who have undergone hip or knee replacement surgery; for the treatment of DVT and PE; and to reduce the risk of recurrent DVT and PE, following initial therapy. ELIQUIS continues to be developed and commercialized by The Bristol Myers Squibb-Pfizer Alliance. ELIQUIS Important Safety Information Indications ELIQUIS is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. ELIQUIS is indicated for the prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may lead to pulmonary embolism (PE), in patients who have undergone hip or knee replacement surgery. ELIQUIS is indicated for the treatment of DVT and PE, and to reduce the risk of recurrent DVT and PE following initial therapy. Important Safety Information WARNING: (A) PREMATURE DISCONTINUATION OF ELIQUIS INCREASES THE RISK OF THROMBOTIC EVENTS, (B) SPINAL/EPIDURAL HEMATOMA (A) Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including ELIQUIS, increases the risk of thrombotic events. If anticoagulation with ELIQUIS is discontinued for a reason other than pathological bleeding or completion of a course of therapy, consider coverage with another anticoagulant. (B) Epidural or spinal hematomas may occur in patients treated with ELIQUIS who are receiving neuraxial anesthesia or undergoing spinal puncture. These hematomas may result in long-term or permanent paralysis. Consider these risks when scheduling patients for spinal procedures. Factors that can increase the risk of developing epidural or spinal hematomas in these patients include: use of indwelling epidural catheters concomitant use of other drugs that affect hemostasis, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), platelet inhibitors, other anticoagulants a history of traumatic or repeated epidural or spinal punctures a history of spinal deformity or spinal surgery optimal timing between the administration of ELIQUIS and neuraxial procedures is not known Monitor patients frequently for signs and symptoms of neurological impairment. If neurological compromise is noted, urgent treatment is necessary. Consider the benefits and risks before neuraxial intervention in patients anticoagulated or to be anticoagulated. CONTRAINDICATIONS Active pathological bleeding Severe hypersensitivity reaction to ELIQUIS (e.g., anaphylactic reactions) WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Increased Risk of Thrombotic Events after Premature Discontinuation: Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including ELIQUIS, in the absence of adequate alternative anticoagulation increases the risk of thrombotic events. An increased rate of stroke was observed during the transition from ELIQUIS to warfarin in clinical trials in atrial fibrillation patients. If ELIQUIS is discontinued for a reason other than pathological bleeding or completion of a course of therapy, consider coverage with another anticoagulant. Bleeding Risk: ELIQUIS increases the risk of bleeding and can cause serious, potentially fatal, bleeding. Concomitant use of drugs affecting hemostasis increases the risk of bleeding, including aspirin and other antiplatelet agents, other anticoagulants, heparin, thrombolytic agents, SSRIs, SNRIs, and NSAIDs. Advise patients of signs and symptoms of blood loss and to report them immediately or go to an emergency room. Discontinue ELIQUIS in patients with active pathological hemorrhage. The anticoagulant effect of apixaban can be expected to persist for at least 24 hours after the last dose (i.e., about two half-lives). An agent to reverse the anti-factor Xa activity of apixaban is available. Please visit for more information on availability of a specific reversal agent. Spinal/Epidural Anesthesia or Puncture: Patients treated with ELIQUIS undergoing spinal/epidural anesthesia or puncture may develop an epidural or spinal hematoma which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis. The risk of these events may be increased by the postoperative use of indwelling epidural catheters or the concomitant use of medicinal products affecting hemostasis. Indwelling epidural or intrathecal catheters should not be removed earlier than 24 hours after the last administration of ELIQUIS. The next dose of ELIQUIS should not be administered earlier than 5 hours after the removal of the catheter. The risk may also be increased by traumatic or repeated epidural or spinal puncture. If traumatic puncture occurs, delay the administration of ELIQUIS for 48 hours. Monitor patients frequently and if neurological compromise is noted, urgent diagnosis and treatment is necessary. Physicians should consider the potential benefit versus the risk of neuraxial intervention in ELIQUIS patients. Prosthetic Heart Valves: The safety and efficacy of ELIQUIS have not been studied in patients with prosthetic heart valves and is not recommended in these patients. Acute PE in Hemodynamically Unstable Patients or Patients who Require Thrombolysis or Pulmonary Embolectomy: Initiation of ELIQUIS is not recommended as an alternative to unfractionated heparin for the initial treatment of patients with PE who present with hemodynamic instability or who may receive thrombolysis or pulmonary embolectomy. Increased Risk of Thrombosis in Patients with Triple Positive Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS): Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs), including ELIQUIS, are not recommended for use in patients with triple-positive APS. For patients with APS (especially those who are triple positive [positive for lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, and anti–beta 2-glycoprotein I antibodies]), treatment with DOACs has been associated with increased rates of recurrent thrombotic events compared with vitamin K antagonist therapy. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common and most serious adverse reactions reported with ELIQUIS were related to bleeding. TEMPORARY INTERRUPTION FOR SURGERY AND OTHER INTERVENTIONS ELIQUIS should be discontinued at least 48 hours prior to elective surgery or invasive procedures with a moderate or high risk of unacceptable or clinically significant bleeding. ELIQUIS should be discontinued at least 24 hours prior to elective surgery or invasive procedures with a low risk of bleeding or where the bleeding would be noncritical in location and easily controlled. Bridging anticoagulation during the 24 to 48 hours after stopping ELIQUIS and prior to the intervention is not generally required. ELIQUIS should be restarted after the surgical or other procedures as soon as adequate hemostasis has been established. DRUG INTERACTIONS Combined P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) increase exposure to apixaban and increase the risk of bleeding. For patients receiving ELIQUIS doses of 5 mg or 10 mg twice daily, reduce the dose of ELIQUIS by 50% when ELIQUIS is coadministered with drugs that are combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, or ritonavir). In patients already taking 2.5 mg twice daily, avoid coadministration of ELIQUIS with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Clarithromycin Although clarithromycin is a combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, pharmacokinetic data suggest that no dose adjustment is necessary with concomitant administration with ELIQUIS. Combined P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of ELIQUIS with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St. John’s wort) because such drugs will decrease exposure to apixaban. Anticoagulants and Antiplatelet Agents: Coadministration of antiplatelet agents, fibrinolytics, heparin, aspirin, and chronic NSAID use increases the risk of bleeding. APPRAISE-2, a placebo-controlled clinical trial of apixaban in high-risk post-acute coronary syndrome patients treated with aspirin or the combination of aspirin and clopidogrel, was terminated early due to a higher rate of bleeding with apixaban compared to placebo. PREGNANCY The limited available data on ELIQUIS use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform drug-associated risks of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse developmental outcomes. Treatment may increase the risk of bleeding during pregnancy and delivery, and in the fetus and neonate. Labor or delivery: ELIQUIS use during labor or delivery in women who are receiving neuraxial anesthesia may result in epidural or spinal hematomas. Consider use of a shorter acting anticoagulant as delivery approaches. LACTATION Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with ELIQUIS. FEMALES AND MALES OF REPRODUCTIVE POTENTIAL Females of reproductive potential requiring anticoagulation should discuss pregnancy planning with their physician. The risk of clinically significant uterine bleeding, potentially requiring gynecological surgical interventions, identified with oral anticoagulants including ELIQUIS should be assessed in these patients and those with abnormal uterine bleeding.

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issues new patent covering Talicia1 as an all-in-one treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), supporting Talicia protection until February 12, 2034 This new patent adds to the existing strong intellectual property portfolio protecting Talicia, including composition of matter and other patents and FDA-granted data exclusivities granted under the GAIN QIDP designation and section 505(b)(2) Talicia is the only FDA-approved rifabutin-containing all-in-one therapy for the eradication of H. pylori, providing an optimized antibiotic resistance profile and the leading branded first-line therapy prescribed by U.S. gastroenterologists2 for H. pylori infection, which affects approximately 35% of the U.S. adult population3 TEL AVIV, Israel and RALEIGH, N.C., March 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: RDHL) ("RedHill" or the "Company"), a specialty biopharmaceutical company, today announced the issue of a new U.S. patent covering Talicia1 as an all-in-one fixed-dose combination of amoxicillin, omeprazole and rifabutin and its use for the treatment of helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection (Patent No. 11,931,463 to be issued March 19, 20244). Talicia is the leading branded first-line therapy prescribed by U.S. gastroenterologists for H. pylori infection, which affects approximately 35% of the U.S. adult population and this patent is expected to provide protection for Talicia until February 12, 2034. "Talicia is the only FDA-approved rifabutin-containing all-in-one therapy for the eradication of H. pylori. Its components and formulation are optimized to provide patients with the right medications for successful H. pylori eradication with an optimized resistance profile, which is significant in the face of growing microbial resistance to clarithromycin-based regimens," said Patricia Anderson, RedHill's Senior Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. "The granting of this new U.S. patent further adds to the strong intellectual property protecting Talicia, including the recently announced patent for treatment regardless of patient Body Mass Index (BMI), several other composition of matter and other patents, and additional FDA-granted data exclusivities granted under the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) Act Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation and the approval of Talicia under section 505(b)(2)." About H. pylori infection H. pylori is a bacterial infection that affects approximately 35% of the U.S. population, with an estimated two million patients treated annually5. Worldwide, more than 50% of the population has H. pylori infection, which is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a Group 1 carcinogen. It remains the strongest known risk factor for gastric cancer6 and a major risk factor for peptic ulcer disease7 and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma8. More than 27,000 Americans are diagnosed with gastric cancer annually9. Eradication of H. pylori is becoming increasingly difficult, with current therapies failing in approximately 25-40% of patients who remain H. pylori-positive due to high resistance of H. pylori to antibiotics – especially clarithromycin – which is still commonly used in standard combination therapies. About Talicia Talicia is a novel, fixed-dose, all-in-one oral capsule combination of two antibiotics (amoxicillin and rifabutin) and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) (omeprazole), approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of H. pylori infection in adults. Talicia is the only low-dose rifabutin-based therapy approved for the treatment of H. pylori infection and is designed to address H. pylori's high resistance to other antibiotics. The high rates of H. pylori resistance to clarithromycin have led to significant rates of treatment failure with clarithromycin-based therapies and are a strong public health concern, as highlighted American College of Gastroenterology, the FDA and the WHO in recent years. In the pivotal Phase 3 study, Talicia demonstrated 84% eradication of H. pylori infection in the intent-to-treat (ITT) group vs. 58% in the active comparator arm (p<0.0001). Minimal to zero resistance to rifabutin, a key component of Talicia, was detected in RedHill's pivotal Phase 3 study. Further, in an analysis of data from this study, it was observed that subjects who were confirmed adherent10 to their therapy had response rates of 90.3% in the Talicia arm vs. 64.7% in the active comparator arm11. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Talicia and other antibacterial drugs, Talicia should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. Talicia is eligible for a total of eight years of U.S. market exclusivity under its Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation and is also covered by U.S. patents which extend patent protection until 2034 with additional patents and applications pending and granted in various territories worldwide.
