About Feraccru(R)

Feraccru(R) is a novel, stable, non-salt based oral treatment for adults with iron deficiency with or without anaemia that has been shown to be an efficacious and well-tolerated therapy in a range of controlled phase 3 trials. Following the recently announced(1) positive results of the Phase IIIb AEGIS-H2H study in which Feraccru(R) demonstrated it was non-inferior to intravenously-administered Ferinject(R) at delivering improvements in haemoglobin levels without requiring hospital-based administration, Feraccru(R) offers a compelling alternative to IV Iron for those patients that cannot tolerate salt-based oral iron therapies and wish to avoid the complexities of infusion-based therapies.

When salt-based oral iron therapies are ingested they can cause a range of mild-to-severe gastrointestinal tract (GI) adverse events, including nausea, bloating and constipation. These lead to poor tolerability, reduced patient compliance and ultimately treatment failure. Feraccru(R) is not an iron salt; iron can be absorbed from the ferric maltol molecule and, as a result, it does not routinely cause the same treatment-limiting intolerance issues.

Prior to Feraccru(R), IV iron therapies were the only realistic alternative treatment option for patients intolerant of or unwilling to take salt-based oral iron therapies. However, use of such an invasive, costly, inconvenient and complex to administer treatment option, which is associated with potentially life-threatening and spontaneous hypersensitivity reactions, means there remains a clear unmet medical need for patients with iron deficiency with or without anaemia to have access to an effective therapy like Feraccru(R) that is well tolerated, convenient and does not require hospital-based administration.

Feraccru(R) is approved and marketed in the European Union for the treatment of iron deficiency with or without anaemia in adults and in Switzerland for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in adults with IBD.

About Iron Deficiency

The WHO state that ID is the most common and widespread nutritional disorder in the world. As well as affecting a large number of children and women in non-industrialized countries, it is the only nutrient deficiency which is also significantly prevalent in virtually all industrialized nations. There are no current global figures for ID, but using anaemia as an indirect indicator it can be estimated that most preschool children and pregnant women in non-industrialized countries, and at least 30-40% in industrialized countries, are iron deficient.
