Recent Operational Highlights

Acute Cardiovascular Care Area

Angiomax® (bivalirudin) is an injectable direct thrombin inhibitor. On October 9, the Company announced enrollment of the first patient in its 3,900 patient Phase III ENDOMAX trial (ENDOvascular interventions with AngioMAX (bivalirudin)), which is the first randomized, double blind, clinical trial to study pharmacology in patients undergoing Peripheral Endovascular Intervention (PEI). PEI is performed in approximately 500,000 patients in the United States each year. Angiomax is currently approved for use in patients undergoing angioplasty, also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The Medicines Company intends to pursue labeling expansion in the PEI setting.

Cangrelor is an investigational intravenous, direct-acting, P2Y12 receptor antagonist in development for prevention of platelet activation and aggregation that leads to thrombosis in the acute care setting including in patients undergoing PCI. A pre-specified, pooled analysis of patient-level data from CHAMPION-PCI, CHAMPION-PLATFORM, and CHAMPION-PHOENIX was presented at the European Society of Cardiology in September and concurrently published in The Lancet. On October 9, The Medicines Company also announced completion of two pharmacodynamic trials evaluating the transition of its investigational acute intravenous antiplatelet agent, cangrelor, to chronic oral therapy with ticagrelor (Brilinta®) or prasugrel (Effient®) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). These data are also expected to be published in peer review journals. On July 1, The Medicines Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the filing of the New Drug Application (NDA) for cangrelor. The Medicines Company anticipates submission of a European Market Authorization Application (MAA) in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Cleviprex® (clevidipine) is an intravenous calcium channel blocker, approved in the US for blood pressure reduction when oral therapy is not feasible or not desirable. In 2013, The Medicines Company received regulatory approval for Cleviprex in 11 countries (Germany, France, Spain, UK, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Canada, and Australia) with an indication for blood pressure control in perioperative settings.

MDCO-216 (ApoA-I Milano), an investigational product, is a naturally occurring variant of a protein found in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) formulated with lipids to emulate an HDL particle. It has the potential to modify atheromatous disease by promoting reverse cholesterol transport and may, in the future, be tested in trials to measure reductions in the risk of adverse atherothrombotic events. On October 9, The Medicines Company reported progress with manufacturing development. The Medicines Company expects a Phase I trial to be completed by the end of 2013.

ALN-PCS02 and ALN-PCSsc (ALN-PCS program) are PCSK9 synthesis inhibitors under investigation as agents that may reduce intracellular and extracellular levels of PCSK9 with a view to lowering plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. On October 9, The Medicines Company and partner Alnylam announced a lead development candidate that will be tested as a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic (ALN-PCSsc) targeting PCSK9. New data from non-human primate studies were presented at the Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society (OTS) meeting in October.

Surgery and Perioperative Care Area

Fibrocaps is an investigational agent that is a dry powder topical fibrinogen thrombin hemostat in development for a range of surgeries. In August, The Medicines Company completed the acquisition of ProFibrix B.V. and reported results from the Phase III FINISH-3 trial, which studied a total of 719 patients. The trial met primary and secondary hemostasis efficacy endpoints in four surgical indications of spinal surgery, hepatic resection, soft tissue dissection and vascular surgery. The Medicines Company anticipates submission of a European MAA in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Recothrom® Thrombin, topical (recombinant) is a recombinant human thrombin approved in the US for use as an aid to hemostasis whenever control of bleeding by standard surgical techniques (such as suture, ligature, or cautery) is ineffective or impractical in adults and pediatric populations greater than or equal to one month of age. In December 2012, The Medicines Company and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company signed a global license and two year collaboration for Recothrom, which is marketed in the United States and Canada.

IONSYS is under investigation in a pre-registration stage as a patient-controlled analgesia system for the management of acute postoperative pain. The Medicines Company anticipates submitting a supplemental NDA in the US in early 2014.

Infectious Disease Care Area

Oritavancin is an investigational agent under development for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). Phase III data from two oritavancin (SOLO) trials in patients with ABSSSI caused by susceptible gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were presented at the 53rd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) conference in Denver in September. The Medicines Company anticipates submission of a NDA in the fourth quarter of 2013.

About Angiomax (bivalirudin) for Injection

In the United States, Angiomax is indicated in patients undergoing PCI with provisional use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (GPI), and in patients with, or at risk of, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis syndrome (HIT/HITTS) undergoing PCI. In addition, Angiomax is indicated for use as an anticoagulant in patients with unstable angina (UA) undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Angiomax is intended for use with aspirin. Angiomax is not approved for use in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) not undergoing PCI or PTCA. In clinical trials comparing Angiomax and heparin, the most common adverse reaction for Angiomax was bleeding (28%). Other common adverse reactions were headache, thrombocytopenia and fever. An unexplained fall in blood pressure or hematocrit, or any unexplained symptom, should lead to serious consideration of a hemorrhagic event and cessation of Angiomax administration. Angiomax should be used with caution in patients with disease states associated with an increased risk of bleeding. In gamma brachytherapy, an increased risk of thrombus formation, including fatal outcomes, has been associated with the use of Angiomax. Angiomax is contraindicated in patients with active major bleeding or hypersensitivity to Angiomax or its components.

Please see full prescribing information for Angiomax available at http://www.angiomax.com.

About Cleviprex (clevidipine) Injectable Emulsion

In the United States, Cleviprex is indicated for the reduction of blood pressure reduction when oral therapy is not feasible or not desirable. Cleviprex is contraindicated in patients with allergies to soybeans, soy products, eggs, or egg products; defective lipid metabolism seen in conditions such as pathologic hyperlipemia, lipoid nephrosis, or acute pancreatitis if it is accompanied by hyperlipidemia; and severe aortic stenosis. Cleviprex is intended for intravenous use. Use aseptic technique and discard any unused product within 12 hours of stopper puncture. Hypotension and reflex tachycardia are potential consequences of rapid upward titration of Cleviprex. Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers can produce negative inotropic effects and exacerbate heart failure. Monitor heart failure patients carefully. Cleviprex gives no protection against the effects of abrupt beta-blocker withdrawal. Patients who receive prolonged Cleviprex infusions and are not transitioned to other antihypertensive therapies should be monitored for the possibility of rebound hypertension for at least 8 hours after the infusion is stopped. Most common adverse reactions are (greater than 2%) are headache, nausea, and vomiting.

Please see full prescribing information for Cleviprex available at http://www.cleviprex.com.

About Recothrom Thrombin, topical (recombinant)

Recothrom is indicated as an aid to hemostasis whenever control of bleeding by standard surgical techniques (such as suture, ligature, or cautery) is ineffective or impractical in adults and pediatric populations greater than or equal to one month of age. Recothrom should not be injected directly into the circulatory system or used for the treatment of massive or brisk arterial bleeding. Recothrom should not be administered to patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Recothrom, any of its components, or hamster proteins. Recothrom may cause thrombosis if it enters the circulatory system. Apply Recothrom topically. DO NOT INJECT. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur with the use of Recothrom. The most common adverse reaction (incidence 6%) was thromboembolic events. Antibody formation to Recothrom occurred in < 1% of patients. None of the antibodies detected neutralized native human thrombin.

Please see full prescribing information for Recothrom available at http://www.recothrom.com.
