Roche touts CHMP nod for Hem­li­bra; Alder rais­es $200M for mi­graine drug launch

Roche’s $RHH­BY Hem­li­bra has just scored a pos­i­tive opin­ion from CHMP, as it con­tin­ues to tout the he­mo­phil­ia drug as a po­ten­tial block­buster. The com­mit­tee, whose rec­om­men­da­tions are usu­al­ly adopt­ed by the Eu­ro­pean Com­mis­sion, gave a thumbs up for Hem­li­bra’s pro­phy­lax­is of bleed­ing episodes in he­mo­phil­ia A pa­tients with fac­tor VI­II in­hibitors of all age groups. The ex­pect­ed ap­proval puts ad­di­tion­al pres­sure on Shire, which bet big to es­tab­lish it­self in the he­mo­phil­ia are­na.
