Top drugs and pharmaceutical companies of 2019 by revenues
Acquisitions and spin-offs dominated headlines in 2019 and the tone was set very early with Bristol-Myers Squibb acquiring New Jersey-based cancer drug company Celgene in a US$ 74 billion deal announced on January 3, 2019. After factoring in debt, the deal value ballooned to about US$ 95 billion, which according to data compiled by Refinitiv, made it the largest healthcare deal on record. In the summer, AbbVie Inc, which sells the world’s best-selling drug Humira, announced its acquisition of Allergan Plc, known for Botox and other cosmetic treatments, for US$ 63 billion. While the companies are still awaiting regulatory approval for their deal, with US$ 49 billion in combined 2019 revenues, the merged entity would rank amongst the biggest in the industry. View Our Interactive Dashboard on Top drugs by sales in 2019 (Free Excel Available) The big five by pharmaceutical sales — Pfizer, Roche, J&J, Novartis and Merck Pfizer continued to lead companies by pharmaceutical sales by reporting annual 2019 revenues of US$ 51.8 billion, a decrease of US$ 1.9 billion, or 4 percent, compared to 2018. The decline was primarily attributed to the loss of exclusivity of Lyrica in 2019, which witnessed its sales drop from US$ 5 billion in 2018 to US$ 3.3 billion in 2019. In 2018, Pfizer’s then incoming CEO Albert Bourla had mentioned that the company did not see the need for any large-scale M&A activity as Pfizer had “the best pipeline” in its history, which needed the company to focus on deploying its capital to keep its pipeline flowing and execute on its drug launches. Bourla stayed true to his word and barring the acquisition of Array Biopharma for US$ 11.4 billion and a spin-off to merge Upjohn, Pfizer’s off-patent branded and generic established medicines business with Mylan, there weren’t any other big ticket deals which were announced. The Upjohn-Mylan merged entity will be called Viatris and is expected to have 2020 revenues between US$ 19 and US$ 20 billion and could outpace Teva to become the largest generic company in the world, in term of revenues.  Novartis, which had followed Pfizer with the second largest revenues in the pharmaceutical industry in 2018, reported its first full year earnings after spinning off its Alcon eye care devices business division that had US$ 7.15 billion in 2018 sales. In 2019, Novartis slipped two spots in the ranking after reporting total sales of US$ 47.4 billion and its CEO Vas Narasimhan continued his deal-making spree by buying New Jersey-headquartered The Medicines Company (MedCo) for US$ 9.7 billion to acquire a late-stage cholesterol-lowering therapy named inclisiran. As Takeda Pharmaceutical Co was busy in 2019 on working to reduce its debt burden incurred due to its US$ 62 billion purchase of Shire Plc, which was announced in 2018, Novartis also purchased the eye-disease medicine, Xiidra, from the Japanese drugmaker for US$ 5.3 billion. Novartis’ management also spent a considerable part of 2019 dealing with data-integrity concerns which emerged from its 2018 buyout of AveXis, the gene-therapy maker Novartis had acquired for US$ 8.7 billion. The deal gave Novartis rights to Zolgensma, a novel treatment intended for children less than two years of age with the most severe form of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Priced at US$ 2.1 million, Zolgensma is currently the world’s most expensive drug. However, in a shocking announcement, a month after approving the drug, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a press release on data accuracy issues as the agency was informed by AveXis that its personnel had manipulated data which the FDA used to evaluate product comparability and nonclinical (animal) pharmacology as part of the biologics license application (BLA), which was submitted and reviewed by the FDA. With US$ 50.0 billion (CHF 48.5 billion) in annual pharmaceutical sales, Swiss drugmaker Roche came in at number two position in 2019 as its sales grew 11 percent driven by its multiple sclerosis medicine Ocrevus, haemophilia drug Hemlibra and cancer medicines Tecentriq and Perjeta. Roche’s newly introduced medicines generated US$ 5.53 billion (CHF 5.4 billion) in growth, helping offset the impact of the competition from biosimilars for its three best-selling drugs MabThera/Rituxan, Herceptin and Avastin. In late 2019, after months of increased antitrust scrutiny, Roche completed its US$ 5.1 billion acquisition of Spark Therapeutics to strengthen its presence in gene therapy. Last year, J&J reported almost flat worldwide sales of US$ 82.1 billion. J&J’s pharmaceutical division generated US$ 42.20 billion and its medical devices and consumer health divisions brought in US$ 25.96 billion and US$ 13.89 billion respectively.  Since J&J’s consumer health division sells analgesics, digestive health along with beauty and oral care products, the US$ 5.43 billion in consumer health sales from over-the-counter drugs and women’s health products was only used in our assessment of J&J’s total pharmaceutical revenues. With combined pharmaceutical sales of US$ 47.63 billion, J&J made it to number three on our list. While the sales of products like Stelara, Darzalex, Imbruvica, Invega Sustenna drove J&J’s pharmaceutical business to grow by 4 percent over 2018, the firm had to contend with generic competition against key revenue contributors Remicade and Zytiga. US-headquartered Merck, which is known as MSD (short for Merck Sharp & Dohme) outside the United States and Canada, is set to significantly move up the rankings next year fueled by its cancer drug Keytruda, which witnessed a 55 percent increase in sales to US$ 11.1 billion. Merck reported total revenues of US$ 41.75 billion and also announced it will spin off its women’s health drugs, biosimilar drugs and older products to create a new pharmaceutical company with US$ 6.5 billion in annual revenues. The firm had anticipated 2020 sales between US$ 48.8 billion and US$  50.3 billion however this week it announced that the coronavirus  pandemic will reduce 2020 sales by more than $2 billion. View Our Interactive Dashboard on Top drugs by sales in 2019 (Free Excel Available)  Humira holds on to remain world’s best-selling drug AbbVie’s acquisition of Allergan comes as the firm faces the expiration of patent protection for Humira, which brought in a staggering US$ 19.2 billion in sales last year for the company. AbbVie has failed to successfully acquire or develop a major new product to replace the sales generated by its flagship drug. In 2019, Humira’s US revenues increased 8.6 percent to US$ 14.86 billion while internationally, due to biosimilar competition, the sales dropped 31.1 percent to US$ 4.30 billion. Bristol Myers Squibb’s Eliquis, which is also marketed by Pfizer, maintained its number two position and posted total sales of US$ 12.1 billion, a 23 percent increase over 2018. While Bristol Myers Squibb’s immunotherapy treatment Opdivo, sold in partnership with Ono in Japan, saw sales increase from US$ 7.57 billion to US$ 8.0 billion, the growth paled in comparison to the US$ 3.9 billion revenue increase of Opdivo’s key immunotherapy competitor Merck’s Keytruda. Keytruda took the number three spot in drug sales that previously belonged to Celgene’s Revlimid, which witnessed a sales decline from US$ 9.69 billion to US$ 9.4 billion. Cancer treatment Imbruvica, which is marketed by J&J and AbbVie, witnessed a 30 percent increase in sales. With US$ 8.1 billion in 2019 revenues, it took the number five position. View Our Interactive Dashboard on Top drugs by sales in 2019 (Free Excel Available) Vaccines – Covid-19 turns competitors into partners This year has been dominated by the single biggest health emergency in years — the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. As drugs continue to fail to meet expectations, vaccine development has received a lot of attention.  GSK reported the highest vaccine sales of all drugmakers with total sales of US$ 8.4 billion (GBP 7.16 billion), a significant portion of its total sales of US$ 41.8 billion (GBP 33.754 billion).   US-based Merck’s vaccine division also reported a significant increase in sales to US$ 8.0 billion and in 2019 received FDA and EU approval to market its Ebola vaccine Ervebo. This is the first FDA-authorized vaccine against the deadly virus which causes hemorrhagic fever and spreads from person to person through direct contact with body fluids. Pfizer and Sanofi also reported an increase in their vaccine sales to US$ 6.4 billion and US$ 6.2 billion respectively and the Covid-19 pandemic has recently pushed drugmakers to move faster than ever before and has also converted competitors into partners. In a rare move, drug behemoths  — Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) —joined hands to develop a vaccine for the novel coronavirus. The two companies plan to start human trials in the second half of this year, and if things go right, they will file for potential approvals by the second half of 2021.  View Our Interactive Dashboard on Top drugs by sales in 2019 (Free Excel Available)  Our view Covid-19 has brought the world economy to a grinding halt and shifted the global attention to the pharmaceutical industry’s capability to deliver solutions to address this pandemic.  Our compilation shows that vaccines and drugs for infectious diseases currently form a tiny fraction of the total sales of pharmaceutical companies and few drugs against infectious diseases rank high on the sales list. This could well explain the limited range of options currently available to fight Covid-19. With the pandemic currently infecting over 3 million people spread across more than 200 countries, we can safely conclude that the scenario in 2020 will change substantially. And so should our compilation of top drugs for the year. View Our Interactive Dashboard on Top drugs by sales in 2019 (Free Excel Available)

Sanofi lawsuit highlights Mylan’s unfair trade practices; Fresenius goes on multi-billion dollar spending spree
This week, Phispers brings you an update on M&As in the drug and medical equipment industry, along with verdicts of lawsuits against GSK and Mylan. There is also news on Samsung Bioepis’ biosimilar —Renflexis; a directive from the Medical Council of India for doctors to prescribe generics; and news that Marathon may soon wind up. Read on.   M&A update: Fresenius buys Akorn; Becton Dickinson to acquire C R Bard   Fresenius Kabi-Akorn: Fresenius Kabi is buying US-based manufacturer and marketer of prescription and over-the-counter drugs — Akorn — for around US $ 4.3 billion, or US $ 34.00 a share. Kabi will also assume approximately US $ 450 million of Akorn’s debt. The transaction, which is likely to close by early 2018, has the support of Akorn's largest shareholder, who controls approximately 25 percent of its shares. Akorn is a specialty generic pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of multi-source and branded pharmaceuticals. Sawai to buy Upsher Smith: A leading generics manufacturer in Japan — Sawai Pharmaceutical — and US-based generics manufacturer — Upsher-Smith Laboratories — announced an agreement whereby Sawai will buy the generic pharmaceuticals business of Upsher-Smith, from its parent — Acova for $ 1.05 billion. Upsher-Smith is a privately held drug company, based in Minnesota. It’s owned by the Evenstad family through their company, Acova. It has a diversified product portfolio of over 30 pharmaceutical products. Becton Dickinson to acquire C R Bard: Becton Dickinson and Co, a medical equipment supplier, will acquire C R Bard Inc in a US $24 billion cash-and-stock deal. This way, Becton Dickson will add Bard's devices to its portfolio in the high-growth sectors of oncology and surgery. This is the latest in a string of deals in the medical technology sector. Two years ago, Becton Dickinson had acquired CareFusion Corp for US $ 12 billion. This acquisition will strengthen Becton Dickinson’s position in the markets for catheters, pumps and other items. FDA approves Samsung Bioepis’ biosimilar; Merck to sell it in US   This week, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Samsung Bioepis' Renflexis (infliximab-abda) — a biosimilar referencing Remicade (infliximab), across all eligible indications.  In the US, Renflexis is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms in patients with adult and pediatric Crohn’s disease, adult ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis, and for the treatment of adult plaque psoriasis. The FDA approval comes as a blow to Johnson & Johnson’s top earning drug Remicade, which may finally begin to experience greater competition at lower prices. Samsung Bioepis is a big player in the field of biosimilars. It has arrived in the US market close to a year after the EMA approved it for Europe. While Merck KGaA, the German Merck that specializes in chemical, pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors, sold its biosimilars business to Fresenius Kabi this week, in the US, Merck will be marketing Samsung Bioepis’ Renflexis.  In Germany, Merck KGaA is selling off its entire development pipeline and an experienced team of more than 70 employees located in Aubonne and Vevey (Switzerland) to Fresenius Kabi for Euro 670 million. The product pipeline has a focus on oncology and autoimmune diseases. Confused about the two Mercks? Read: Merck vs Merck: A ‘Mercky’ Tale Doctors in India to prescribe generics; to face action if found violating norms   Last week, Phispers carried news that India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi indicated his government may bring in a legal framework under which doctors will have to prescribe generic medicines. And soon, the Medical Council of India asked all registered medical practitioners to ensure they prescribe drugs with generic names only. The MCI has asked the medical community to follow its 2016 notification in which it amended the clause 1.5 of the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 mandating the doctors to prescribe medicines by generic names in place of brand names. Therefore, if a patient is complaining of fever, the doctor must prescribe ‘paracetamol’ (the generic name drug), and not Crocin or Dolo (which are brand name drugs). This move will prevent doctors from prescribing brand-name drugs that are costlier. India’s medical regulator has also warned doctors of action against those found violating these regulations. This news comes at a time when price control on stents in India has led to companies withdrawing their innovative products from the market. A stent is a tiny expandable tube shaped mesh to open up narrowed or weakened coronary arteries. It is performed in a cath lab, using a less-invasive procedure known as angioplasty. Last week, Abbott announced it is withdrawing two of its latest coronary stents from India as they were not commercially viable. This includes a bio-absorbable stent that was introduced by the company four years back. In February this year, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority had effected up to 80 percent price cuts on stents under the Drug Price Control Order (DPCO). The price of a bare metal stent was fixed at around US $113 (Rs 7,260) and drug eluting stent (DES) and biodegradable stents at around US $462 (Rs 29,600). After the controversy around DMD drug, Marathon may wind up next month   After creating much hype and controversy around its effort to market a cheap overseas steroid — deflazacort — to the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) community in the US at a list price of US $ 89,000, Marathon Pharmaceuticals is now quietly planning to shut down its operations. On February 9 this year, Marathon had received FDA approval for Emflaza (deflazacort), tablets and oral suspension, to treat patients aged 5 years and older with DMD, a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle deterioration and weakness. Since the drug has been approved outside the US for decades, patients in the US imported the drug from Canada and the UK, where it’s available at a price between US $1,000 or US $2,000 a year. An article published in Endpoints News cites the divestiture of deflazacort to PTC as the main reason why Marathon may not exist past May 1, 2017. When the author of the article contacted Marathon, he received the statement: “With the wind down of our Emflaza business following the close of the PTC transaction on April 20, we will continue to manage the legacy matters of Marathon Pharmaceuticals.” This news comes at a time when PTC, the company that purchased the rights for the drug from Marathon, suffered a  setback as the Washington State Drug Utilization Review Board decided to recommend another medicine for the treatment of the disorder. The board endorsed a policy by the Washington State Health Care Authority, which administers the state Medicaid program, that prednisone is the “lower cost, equally effective alternative” to Emflaza, the drug that PTC bought for around US $140 million last month from Marathon.  Sanofi highlights Mylan’s unfair trade practices in lawsuit    Earlier this week, Sanofi SA sued Mylan NV, accusing it of engaging in illegal conduct to suppress competition to its EpiPen allergy treatment. Mylan’s EpiPen has been at the centre of a public debate on the pricing of drugs.  The lawsuit was filed in Trenton, New Jersey. According to Sanofi, Mylan caused it a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in sales by erecting barriers that denied American consumers access to and use of a rival product — Sanofi’s Auvi-Q. Auvi-Q had been introduced by the French drugmaker in 2013 to treat anaphylaxis in patients who are at risk of or have a history of the potentially fatal allergic reaction. The company ceased marketing of the product in 2015 following a recall. In a statement, Sanofi sought damages for Mylan's conduct in the market for epinephrine auto-injectors. With the lawsuit filed by Sanofi, Mylan appears to be getting a taste of its own medicine, Back in 2015, in a bold and unusual move, Mylan had sued West Virginia to keep its EpiPens on the state’s “preferred drug list”. The move failed. However, it revealed yet another way in which Mylan can use aggressive marketing and legal tactics to boost profits from EpiPens. Since Mylan acquired rights to EpiPen in 2007, the company raised its price by more than 400 percent. While Sanofi is fighting Mylan in the US, in its home country it has to address regulator’s concerns over Valproate, its treatment against epilepsy and bipolar disorders. According to the French drug regulator, up to 4,100 children in France suffered major malformations in the womb after their mothers took Valproate between 1967 and 2016. Valproate, which is manufactured in France by Sanofi under the brand Depakine for epilepsy and Depakote and Depamide for bipolar disorders, is also believed to cause slow neurological development. GSK to pay US $3m in suicide case; Teva introduces competition to Advair   GlaxoSmithKline must fork out US $3 million to a woman who sued the British drug maker because her husband committed suicide after taking a generic equivalent of GSK’s antidepressant — Paxil, a federal court in the US ruled. Back in 2010, Stewart Dolin (a partner at law firm Reed Smith LLP) jumped in front of an ongoing commuter train after taking the generic version of Paxil. The verdict in favor of his wife — Wendy Dolin — was confirmed by GSK. However, the company said it should not be made liable since GSK did not manufacture or market the medicine. The lawsuit had been filed by Wendy Dolin in 2012 against GSK and Mylan — which manufactured the generic version of Paxil. However, a federal judge dismissed Mylan from the lawsuit in 2014. There was more bad news for GSK, as Israeli drugmaker Teva Pharmaceutical Industries launched the first direct competition to GSK’s best-selling Advair (an inhaler with APIs — fluticasone propionate and salmeterol). Teva had won the US regulatory nod to make an inhaler that’s similar to Advair in January this year. However, Teva also launched a generic version of its own inhaler, AirDuo RespiClick. AirDuo is not a true generic of Advair, but contains the same two APIs. However, it delivers a lower dose of salmeterol.

Phispers: Record Fines for Pfizer & GSK, Canada adopts ICH Q8, Q9, Q10, Zika’s threat to Rio & more
Pharmaceutical Whispers (Phispers) this week covers record fines paid by Pfizer & GSK, the official adoption of ICH Q8, Q9 & Q10 guidelines by Canada, the impact of the Zika virus on the Rio Olympics, why the good days of the generic industry in the U.S. maybe coming to an end and a lot more. Pricey fines for GSK and PfizerA long-running U.S. government investigation, of allegations that Pfizer-acquired Wyeth overcharged government Medicaid health programs for the heartburn drug Protonix (pantoprazole) was finally settled this week. Pfizer agreed in principle to pay $784.6 million. However, the real winner from the settlement is most likely serial whistle blower, Dr. William LaCorte, one of the two whistle-blowers in the case. His successful whistleblowing against several pharmaceutical companies will make him receive an estimated $100 million once his share of Pfizer’s fine gets deposited. In another ‘pay-for-delay’ settlement, Britain's competition body fined GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), 37.6 million pounds ($54.42 million) for striking deals to delay the generic launch of its antidepressant Seroxat (Paroxetine). The generic companies involved, Merck KGaA and Actavis UK, were also fined, however, to a lesser extent. GSK is looking to appeal the decision. Health Canada announces the official adoption of ICH Q8, Q9, Q10 guidelinesGood Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requires manufacturing companies to comply with the International Conference on Harmonization’s (ICH) guideline Q7 -- “Good Manufacturing Practice Guide for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients”. In order to further improve pharmaceutical quality standards, for many years now, guidelines have been published that outlined how Pharmaceutical Product Development (Q8), Quality Risk Management (Q9) and Pharmaceutical Quality System (Q10) should be approached.  While few countries have announced an official adoption of these guidelines, Health Canada took the lead last week and announced the adoption of the ICH guidance Q8, Q9 and Q10. Up next should be an official FDA position on Quality Metrics. Are the good days of the US generic industry coming to an end?For many years now, the US generic drug industry has been a growth engine for the industry, especially in India and China. Are the good days about to end? Dr. Janet Woodcock, Director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, testified to the US Congress about the state of generic drug approvals. With new funding under the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments (GDUFA), FDA claims accelerated approvals, plans to hire more than 1,000 new employees and eliminate the application backlog. As more generic drugs enter the market, will profit margins erode and should generic drug makers start hedging their bets?  Boehringer’s generics business misses sales target, Hikma’s buying price goes down by $535 million In July, 2015 Hikma Pharmaceuticals announced their acquisition of Boehringer’s generic business, Roxane, in a deal valued at $1.18 billion. Last week, Hikma announced, that the acquisition price will be reduced by $535 million as Roxane’s 2015 revenues missed expectations.How will this announcement impact Sanofi’s plans? Sanofi is in discussions with Boehringer to swap their animal health unit, Merial for Boehringer’s Consumer Health Division in a deal valued at 10 times that of Hikma’s acquisition of Roxane!  Scandal hounds Sweden’s Nobel Prize awarding Karolinska InstituteThe vice-chancellor of the Nobel Prize for medicine awarding Karolinska Institute in Stockholm resigned, in the wake of an ever-widening scandal surrounding surgeon Paolo Macchiarini. “Macchiarini, a visiting professor at KI from 2010 until October 2015, led surgeries to implant artificial tracheae into several patients between 2011 and 2014. At the time, the operations were hailed as breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, but six of the eight recipients have since died.”  Will the Zika virus let the Rio Olympics take place?Mosquitos responsible for spreading the Zika virus have made headlines given the serious threat they pose to everyone headed for the Rio Olympics. Scientists increasingly believe that Zika infection during pregnancy can pass from the mother to the fetus she carries. In some cases, it is believed the virus can attack the developing brain, causing the child to be born with an abnormally small head, a condition known as microcephaly.As a result, the FDA has stopped blood collections from areas there the virus has spread, the Brazilian army is running house to house operations to kill the mosquitos and pharmaceutical companies along with the scientific community have been busy announcing their plans to treat Zika, a WHO declared global health emergency.With athletes talking about withdrawing from the Rio Olympics, it remains to be seen how successful will health authorities be as they try and contain the biggest threat to the global healthcare system since Ebola last year.
