Thursday June 15, 12:41 pm ET
Agency Assigns 60-Day PDUFA Target Action Date
HOUSTON, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Encysive Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ENCY - News) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review the Company\\'s complete response to the March 24 approvable letter regarding its New Drug Application (NDA) for Thelin(TM) (sitaxsentan sodium) 100 mg tablets. The FDA has designated the review as a Class 1 resubmission and issued a new Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of July 24, 2006 for the Thelin NDA.

Thelin is currently being evaluated by the FDA as a potential new oral treatment for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Encysive recently received a positive opinion recommending the approval of Thelin 100 mg tablets by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA). A final decision for European approval is expected within 90 days of the CHMP positive opinion.

EMEA-Gremium sorgt für Kursexplosion bei Encysive
Biotech/Pharma-Marktbericht von der Wallstreet
Ein Beratergremium der Europäischen Arzneimittelagentur, kurz EMEA (European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products), dem europäischen Äquivalent zur U.S. Gesundheitsbehörde (FDA), gab am Freitag grünes Licht für das von Encysive (ENCY) entwickelte experimentelle Produkt Thelin. Das Gremium empfahl der Behörde, den Wirkstoffkandidaten gegen kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen, die Vermarktungsgenehmigung zur erteilen. Innerhalb von 90 Tagen wird nun die EMEA über die Zulassung entscheiden, die wohl schon so gut wie sicher sein dürfte. Der Aktie des Unternehmens Encysive brachte die gute Neuigkeit am vergangenen Freitag einen Kursgewinn von gigantischen 35% auf nun $5,82.

The Best Small Cap for 2007: Encysive Pharmaceuticals
By Brian Lawler
December 7, 2006
The best place to find undervalued stocks is undoubtedly with small-cap companies with less than $1 billion in market capitalization. Small-cap companies are often so small, though, because they always face the threat of going out of business or having a larger competitor come in and take over their market. If you want to ratchet up the rewards and risks even more, then look no further than small-cap pharmaceutical stocks, whose existence is often riding on the clinical and commercial success of one drug.
This situation perfectly describes Rule Breakers pick and small-cap wonder Encysive Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ENCY). Its fortunes rise and fall on the prospects of its one drug, Thelin, which is used to treat a rare disease called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Thelin is awaiting approval in the U.S. (more on that later) and has already been approved in the European Union. It is currently coming to market in the individual countries of the EU as fast as Encysive can set up sales and marketing forces and negotiate reimbursement rates in each EU country.
To get an idea of what sort of sales Thelin will bring in, one only has to look at the level of sales that a competing but inferior treatment for PAH marketed by Swiss-based Actelion (OTC: ALIOF.PK) has enjoyed. After more than five years on the market in both the EU and U.S., Actelion's Tracleer has ramped up sales to more than $500 million in just the first nine months of 2006. Even after being on the market for so long, the drug's sales are still climbing, with 2006's sales up more than 40% compared to 2005.
Based on the growth in Tracleer sales in its first years after EU approval, and the fact that Thelin will be the second PAH drug on the market, sales of Thelin should be around $30 million for 2007, assuming it is only approved in the EU. In 2008 and beyond, sales should continue to ramp up, thanks to its superior side-effect profile and easier dosing regimen compared to Tracleer.
Thelin's route to approval in the U.S. has been much rockier than in the EU, though. The drug has already been turned down twice by the FDA, and a third decision is forthcoming either within the next several weeks or in about five months, depending on how the FDA decides to handle Encysive's response to its approvable letter.
The knock on companies developing drugs to treat PAH has always been that the disease is so rare that it will be too difficult to hammer out profits selling drugs for this indication. For niche diseases like PAH, though, it doesn't take a large sales force to cover all the physicians treating the disease (which keeps overhead low). And since drugs to treat PAH typically cost more than $30,000 annually, it doesn't take a lot of patients on the drug to bring a company in this space to profitability. Pharmas like Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD) and Actelion seem to agree with me, since they've both acquired companies developing drugs to treat PAH at healthy premiums this year.
Whether Encysive is fated to be the one stock you must buy depends partially on whether it can get U.S. approval to market Thelin before Gilead's competing drug starts to take over some of the market. Even if this U.S. approval doesn't happen in a timely fashion, though, investors in shares of Encysive can at least wait for EU sales to start ramping up to meaningful levels in 2008.
Based on the risk-reward profile for Encysive and the possibility of U.S. approval in the upcoming months, Encysive has the potential to be one of the best small-cap investments of 2007. If you agree with me -- or if you want to tell the rest of the world why I'm wrong -- come join the Fool's brand-new community-intelligence database, Motley Fool CAPS, and rate the stock as an "outperform" or an "underperform." CAPS is free to join and play, and is a great way to check in on what investors think about the stocks you're interested in. Based on what you have to say, we'll declare the best small cap for 2007 early next week -- so come on out and vote for Encysive.

THELIN is indicated for improving exercise capacity in PAH patients classified as World Health Organization (WHO) functional class III. Efficacy has been shown in primary pulmonary hypertension(3) and pulmonary hypertension associated with connective tissue disease (CTD).
``As a once-daily oral therapy, THELIN may provide PAH patients with effective symptom management in a convenient, non-invasive route of administration,'' said Anco Boonstra, M.D., Ph.D., pulmonologist, Vrije Universiteit Medical Center, Amsterdam. ``THELIN is a welcome new treatment option for patients with primary disease and also those with CTD-related PAH, where THELIN has demonstrated a therapeutic benefit.''
The European Commission's centralized licensing procedure permits Encysive to market THELIN in all 27 member states of the European Union. THELIN has been launched in three member states to date, and will be commercialized in successive EU countries as local government approval for reimbursement is obtained.

THELIN is indicated for the treatment of primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension secondary to connective tissue disease, in patients with World Health Organization (WHO) functional class III who have not responded to conventional therapy. THELIN is also indicated in patients with WHO functional class II who did not respond to conventional therapy and for whom no appropriate alternative can be identified.
THELIN is the first selective endothelin A receptor antagonist (ETRA) available, and the only once-daily oral treatment approved for PAH.
PAH is estimated to afflict approximately 100,000 to 200,000 people in North America and Europe. The disease is characterized by high blood pressure and structural changes in the walls of the pulmonary arteries, the blood vessels that connect the right side of the heart to the lungs. As these arteries become increasingly constricted, blood flow and oxygenation may be inadequate to meet the body's demands. The heart must then pump harder to overcome the resistance, and patients become susceptible to heart failure.
``The approval of THELIN represents an advance in the treatment options available for PAH patients in Canada,'' commented David Langleben, M.D., Professor of Medicine, McGill University and Director of the Center for Pulmonary Vascular Disease, Jewish General Hospital, Montreal. ``THELIN's safety and efficacy profile and once-a-day oral formulation make it an attractive therapeutic option, and I look forward to its commercial availability.''
``THELIN has demonstrated a unique benefit for individuals who have developed PAH as a result of a connective tissue disease, such as scleroderma,'' said Janet Pope, M.D., Professor of Rheumatology, University of Western Ontario and Director, Division of Rheumatology, St. Joseph's Health Centre, London, Ontario. ``As a clinician, I welcome any new treatment that may help these particular patients, as they are a more difficult group to treat.''
THELIN's approval is based on the largest database of patients with PAH ever assembled in an original Canadian New Drug Submission, with more than 1,000 PAH patients receiving THELIN. Encysive received European Union marketing authorization for THELIN in August 2006, marketing approval from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration in March 2007 and the drug is currently under evaluation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States.
``This approval is another important step in our effort to commercialize THELIN worldwide,'' stated Bruce D. Given, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Encysive Pharmaceuticals. ``We're extremely proud to have achieved this milestone and look forward to bringing THELIN to PAH patients in Canada.''
THELIN(tm) (Sitaxsentan Sodium) Canadian Marketing Authorization Highlights
The Canadian market authorization was based on submitted data from quality (chemistry and manufacturing) studies, as well as data from non-clinical and clinical studies. Two randomized, double-blind, multi-centre, placebo-controlled studies (n=425) were conducted to demonstrate efficacy and safety. Compared to placebo, treatment with THELIN resulted in a significant increase in exercise capacity. The placebo-corrected increases in six-minute walk distance compared to baseline were 35 meters and 31 meters for the two pivotal studies. Compared to placebo-treatment, THELIN demonstrated improvements to the cardiac index, pulmonary vascular resistance, and systemic vascular resistance after 12 weeks of treatment. Compared to placebo-treatment, THELIN improved functional class. A significant reduction in the rate of clinical worsening was also reported in patients treated with THELIN.
In the STRIDE program, THELIN 100 mg was shown to significantly improve exercise capacity, as measured by improvement in six-minute walk distance, including in patients with connective tissue disease. THELIN was also shown to reduce patients' PAH symptoms (improvement in WHO/NYHA functional class) and improve PAH hemodynamic status. Survival of patients was 96% at one year in the overall patient population and 98% in patients with PAH secondary to connective tissue disease.
