Rockwell Medical Announces Growth Plan and New Therapeutic Opportunities for Its Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC) Platform - Seite 3

• Heart failure (HF) in the U.S. is a large and growing patient population. More than one million patients are hospitalized each year with acute decompensated heart failure, and iron deficiency (ID) is a common co-morbidity in all forms of HF.
• The acute heart failure (AHF) opportunity for FPC is associated with a large patient population with a high incidence of iron deficiency. FPC has theoretical acute clinical advantages (<30 days) vs. traditional IV iron therapy for iron deficient acute heart failure patients and could have an impact on hospital length of stay and/or 30-day readmissions.
• The majority of heart failure patients admitted to the hospital are insured by Medicare/Medicaid through a well-established universal approach usually resulting in a bundled reimbursement structure.
• Rockwell Medical intends to hold a Type C meeting with the FDA in the second half of 2021 to discuss a potential regulatory pathway. This meeting with the FDA will inform whether the Company ultimately pursues an indication in AHF.

An archived webcast of the call will be available under “Events & Presentations” in the Investor section of the Company’s website, https://ir.rockwellmed.com/.
