Shire and TAP Agree to Co-promote LIALDA(TM) (mesalamine), the First Oral Once-Daily Mesalamine For Patients With Active, Mild to Moderate Ulcerative Colitis
Date:3/26/2008

we take this medicine to the next level, increasing awareness among key physicians of the distinguishing benefits of this once-daily treatment for patients diagnosed with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis," said Tim Rudolphi, vice president of TAP's Gastroenterology Marketing Franchise. "This connection with Shire is a natural fit for our sales force, and is a win for all involved, especially the patient population who may benefit most."

Once-daily LIALDA with MMX technology contains the highest mesalamine dose per tablet (1.2 g), so patients can take as few as two tablets once daily. Other currently available mesalamines require three to four times daily dosing and 6 to 16 pills a day.

The TAP sales force will begin detailing LIALDA to specialists and targeted primary care physicians in April 2008. Shire shall compensate TAP based upon TAP's success under the co-promotion agreement. Upon dissolution of the TAP joint venture, Takeda will promote Lialda under the agreement.

About LIALDA

LIALDA is part of a drug class called aminosalicylates, which contain 5-aminosalicyclic acid (5-ASA). 5-ASA is a well-established drug of choice and often a first-line treatment for ulcerative colitis. LIALDA is indicated for the induction of remission in patients with active, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. The safety and efficacy of LIALDA have been established for up to eight weeks. LIALDA is the first new formulation in this class to be approved since 2000.

Shire has licensed from Giuliani SpA the exclusive rights to develop and commercialise LIALDA in the US, Canada, Pacific Rim and Europe (excluding Italy). LIALDA is known as MEZAVANT XL(TM) in the UK and Ireland, and MEZAVANT(R) elsewhere outside of the US. Giuliani SpA retains the development and commercialisation rights in Italy. Cosmo Pharmaceuticals SpA, Milan, developed the MMX technology.
