Theratechnologies Inc T.TH

Alternate Symbol(s):  THTX

Healthcare Biotechnology
Theratechnologies Inc. is a Canada-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of therapies addressing unmet medical needs. It markets prescription products for people with human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) in the United States. The Company's research pipeline focuses on specialized therapies addressing unmet medical needs in HIV, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and oncology. Its medicines include Trogarzo and EGRIFTA SV (tesamorelin for injection). Trogarzo (ibalizumab-uiyk) injection is a long-acting monoclonal antibody which binds to domain 2 of the CD4 T cell receptors. It blocks viral entry into host cells while preserving normal immunologic function. The Company is also investigating an intramuscular method of administration of Trogarzo. EGRIFTA SV (tesamorelin for injection) is approved in the United States for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in people with HIV who have lipodystrophy.

RE: RE: Shorts

RE: RE: ShortsAnother perspective on recent FDA refusals:


"Meanwhile, a News and Analysis article in the January 2011 issue of Nature Reviews Drug Discovery lists several agents not covered in our blog. One agent, tesamorelin (Theratechnologies/Merck KGaA’s Egrifta) was approved by the FDA in November 2010 as the first and only treatment indicated to reduce excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. Tesamorelin is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone–releasing factor — a hypothalamic peptide that acts on the pituitary to stimulate production and release of human growth hormone. This drug is now in a Phase 2 clinical study for treatment of human growth hormone deficiency associated with abdominal obesity. This represents a potential personalized medicine approach for treatment of a specific population of obese patients. Such an approach may be looked at more favorably by regulatory agencies than a “diet pill” for the general obese population."
