Genzyme’s Problems Continue – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 19th, 2009) Writes:
Genzyme Corporation’s (GENZ) problems continue with the company recently announcing the discontinuation of the development of its kidney disease drug. Genzyme reported results on its advanced phosphate binder (APB) from a phase II/III study.  Although the candidate met its primary endpoint, results showed that it was not more effective than Renvela, a product that is marketed by Genzyme. Based on these results, the company has decided to discontinue further clinical development of the APB.  Genzyme was looking to develop a product with higher potency that would more effectively bind phosphate, while maintaining all the benefits of Renvela. Renvela is a follow-on product of the company’s kidney disease drug, Renagel. Sales of Renagel/Renvela totaled $677.7 million or 15% of total revenue in 2008.  Renagel and Renvela are phosphate binders for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia. The company was looking to gain approval for the APB before Renagel/Renvela ...

GENZ’s Lumizyme Approval Delayed – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 17th, 2009) Writes:
Genzyme Corporation’s (GENZ) Lumizyme failed to receive approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Pompe disease. The FDA issued a complete response letter (CRL) stating that the agency will not grant approval unless the company addresses the manufacturing issues at its Allston Landing plant in Boston. Genzyme said that it believes that other elements like the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), product label and post-marketing requirements, have been satisfactorily addressed. The FDA’s response on Lumizyme does not come as a surprise. The news regarding the delay in Lumizyme’s approval follows a recent announcement regarding the detection of contamination in vials of five drugs marketed by the company. The agency completed its inspection of the company’s plant last week and has provided Genzyme with a list related to the manufacturing deficiencies found at the plant. The company stated that ...

BSX Settles, Lowers Results – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 10th, 2009) Writes:
Boston Scientific Corporation (BSX) settled its $296 million lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) related to product advisories issued by its Guidant subsidiary in 2005. The litigation pertained to alleged violations of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by Guidant. The allegations were reported prior to Boston’s acquisition of Guidant in 2006. Boston has recorded the litigation expense in its third quarter of fiscal 2009 results and updated its income statement accordingly. The expense has lowered the company’s GAAP earnings per share by 19 cents into a loss per share of 6 cents in the third quarter of 2009. Adjusted figures remained unaffected by this charge. Boston has also lowered its full fiscal 2009 GAAP earnings per share guidance to a range of 23 to 28 cents, compared to its prior guidance of 43 to 48 cents. The company’s adjusted earnings per share guidance ...
