Tranzyme Pharma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel, mechanism-based therapeutics for the treatment of upper gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders. While approximately 40 percent of people in the U.S. are affected by these persistent and recurring conditions which disrupt the normal movement of food throughout the GI tract, there are a limited number of safe and effective treatment options. Tranzyme is developing TZP-102, an oral ghrelin agonist for treating the symptoms associated with chronic upper GI motility disorders. Enrollment is complete in a multinational Phase 2b trial evaluating TZP-102 given once daily in diabetic patients with gastroparesis; top-line data are expected by year-end 2012. Tranzyme has initiated a second Phase 2b trial (DIGEST) evaluating TZP-102 given prior to meals in diabetic patients with gastroparesis; top-line data are expected in the first half of 2013. By leveraging its proprietary drug discovery technology, MATCH™, Tranzyme is committed to pursuing first-in-class medicines to address areas of significant unmet medical needs.

Mallinckrodt, the pharmaceuticals business of Covidien, is a vertically integrated leader in providing products used in diagnostic procedures and in the treatment of pain and related conditions.  Covidien announced last December that they are spinning off Mallinckrodt into a stand-alone company, a process that is expected to be completed in mid-2013.  Mallinckrodt is the largest US supplier, by prescription, of opioid pain medications and a leading manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients. It is also the largest US supplier of the medical isotope technetium-99m and an industry leader in radiopharmaceuticals and contrast media and delivery systems.  Sales in 2011 were $2.0 billion. Please visit www. mallinckrodt.com to learn more about our business.  The company’s branded pharmaceuticals portfolio includes EXALGO® (hydromorphone HCl) Extended-Release Tablets (CII) and PENNSAID® (diclofenac sodium topical solution) 1.5% w/w.  In June 2012, Mallinckrodt entered into agreements with Horizon Pharma and Zogenix Inc. to co-promote their branded pharmaceuticals for rheumatoid arthritis and acute migraine, respectively.  In August 2012, the FDA approved the 32 mg tablet strength of EXALGO® (hydromorphone HCI) Extended-Release Tablets (CII).  Mallinckrodt is primarily pursuing acquisition or licensing deals for pharmaceuticals which are either in late stage development or are approved for commercialization.
