- In August 2007 Shire acquired exclusive rights to develop and commercialize JUVISTA worldwide (with the exception of EU member states) from Renovo Limited ("Renovo"). JUVISTA, which is being investigated for the prevention and reduction of scarring in connection with surgery, is in late Phase 2 development.

- Seven Phase 2 efficacy trials for JUVISTA have now been reported of which six demonstrated statistically significant efficacy. Phase 2 clinical trials in multiple other surgery types are ongoing and are expected to report during 2008 and 2009.

- AMIGAL(TM) for Fabry disease (Phase 2) received orphan drug designation by the EMEA, which may provide it with up to ten years market exclusivity in the EU;
