Radius Health Provides Update on Appeal of CHMP Opinion for Abaloparatide-SC

WALTHAM, Mass., July 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radius Health, Inc. (Nasdaq:RDUS), a science-driven fully integrated biopharmaceutical company that is committed to developing and commercializing innovative endocrine therapeutics in the areas of osteoporosis and oncology, today announced that after an oral explanation following a re-examination procedure, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), the scientific committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), has communicated a negative trend vote for the Company’s marketing authorization application (MAA) for abaloparatide-SC for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at increased risk for fracture. A negative trend vote means that it is likely that the CHMP will maintain its negative opinion for the MAA at its formal final vote, which it has indicated will occur prior to the end of its meeting this week.

“We are disappointed with this assessment on behalf of the estimated 22 million women in Europe who are diagnosed with osteoporosis. No new anabolic bone-building agent has been approved in Europe for the treatment of this debilitating disease in almost 10 years,” said Jesper Høiland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Radius Health. “We remain confident in abaloparatide-SC and focused on the commercialization of TYMLOS^® in the U.S., the largest market in revenues for anabolics globally, and continue our efforts to make abaloparatide-SC available in Japan through our collaboration with Teijin Limited, as well as in other markets through partnership agreements.”

TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 2017, for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture, multiple risk factors for fracture, or patients who have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy. Since then, over 10,000 patients have been treated with TYMLOS in the U.S.
