Anika Therapeutics continued strong ex-U.S. viscosupplement performance while preparing to broaden its portfolio and U.S. market access.
- International viscosupplement sales were up nearly 28% year over year.
- Due to marketing efforts by Anika’s sales partner, Mitek, MONOVISC volume grew by 18% and ORTHOVISC volume by 9% compared to 2Q18. Some of this increased volume was offset by pricing volatility over the last several quarters.
- CINGAL continued its strong performance in Europe and Canada, with 125% growth in the quarter.
- Soft launch of bone repair therapy expected in Q3, while the company will focus on instrumentation design in 2H19 for upcoming rotator cuff repair treatments.
- After extensive consideration, Anika will move forward with efforts to bring their CINGAL product to the U.S., where leadership estimates it to be a $1 billion annual opportunity.
- Plans to initiate a pilot clinical study designed to increase success probability for a Phase III trial
- Expected to enroll around 240 patients, mostly in the U.S., across 15 sites.
- Study expected to begin in the first half of 2020 and take about a year to complete.
- The Phase III clinical trial for HYALOFAST has been expanded from 40 to 60 sites, with new ex-U.S. sites to come in 2H19.
