Zealand reports Q4 2016 Lyxumia® royalty revenue
Zealand receives royalty revenue of DKK 5.3 million / ?0.7 million in Q4 2016
(and DKK 24.4 million / ?3.3 million in full year 2016) from sales of Lyxumia®
by Sanofi outside the United States.
Copenhagen, 8 February 2017 - Zealand Pharma (Zealand) reports royalty revenue
from Sanofi's sales of Lyxumia® (lixisenatide) outside the United States of DKK
5.3 million / ?0.7 million for Q4 2016. Zealand's annual royalty revenue in
respect of Lyxumia® amounted to DKK 24.3 million / ?3.3 million in 2016.
Lixisenatide is a once-daily prandial GLP-1 receptor agonist for the treatment
of patients with type 2 diabetes and was invented by Zealand. Zealand licensed
the global development and commercialization rights to lixisenatide to Sanofi.
Lixisenatide is marketed under the brand name Lyxumia® in over 45 countries and
was launched in the United States under the brand name Adlyxin(TM) in January
2017.
Sanofi has also developed a combination of lixisenatide and insulin glargine
100 units/mL (Lantus®), which was approved by: (i) the US Food and Drug
Administration in November 2017 and is being marketed under the brand name
Soliqua(TM)100/33 in the United States and (ii) the European Medicines Agency in
January 2017 and is expected to be marketed in Europe under the brand name
Suliqua(TM)[1].
Since January 2017, Soliqua(TM) 100/33 (insulin glargine 100 Units/mL &
lixisenatide 33 mcg/mL injection) has been available by prescription in US
pharmacies. Soliqua(TM) 100/33 is approved in the United States as an adjunct to
diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes
mellitus inadequately controlled on basal insulin (less than 60 Units daily) or
lixisenatide alone. Sanofi has announced that it expects to launch marketing of
Suliqua(TM) in certain EU countries in the second quarter of 2017.
