NPS Pharmaceuticals is developing therapeutics for rare gastrointestinal and endocrine disorders with high-unmet medical needs. The company is currently advancing two late-stage programs. Teduglutide, a proprietary analog of glucagon-like peptide-2, is in Phase 3 clinical development for intestinal failure associated with short bowel syndrome as GATTEX(TM) and in preclinical development for additional intestinal failure related conditions. NPSP558 (parathyroid hormone 1-84 [rDNA origin] injection) is in Phase 3 clinical development as a hormone therapy for hypoparathyroidism. NPS complements its proprietary programs with a royalty-based portfolio of products and product candidates that includes agreements with Amgen, GlaxoSmithKline, Kyowa Kirin, Ortho-McNeil, and Nycomed.
