SynCardia Selected as a Finalist for the 2012 MEDTEC Europe Innovation Awards
Tucson, Ariz. (PRWEB) January 26, 2012
SynCardia Systems, Inc., manufacturer of the worlds first and only FDA, Health Canada and CE (Europe) approved Total Artificial Heart, announced today that it has been nominated for one of the most prestigious awards in the European medical device industry.
The Freedom? portable driver, the worlds first wearable power supply for the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart, has been shortlisted for Most Innovative Cardiac Product of the Year as part of the MEDTEC European Medical Device Technology (EMDT) Innovation Awards. The Awards are the only European awards dedicated to recognizing achievements in the medical device sector.
These awards are regarded as a universal benchmark of quality within the medical-device industry, said Michael Garippa, SynCardia CEO/President. Being shortlisted is a tremendous achievement. The Freedom portable driver has been pivotal in the Total Artificial Heart becoming the new standard of care for end-stage biventricular heart failure.
Weighing approximately 6 kg (13.5 lbs), the Freedom portable driver allows stable Total Artificial Heart patients to be discharged from the hospital to enjoy life at home while they wait for a matching donor heart. The Freedom driver is CE approved for use in Europe and undergoing an FDA-approved Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical study in the U.S. More than 70 patients worldwide have been supported by the Freedom driver, accounting for more than 24 years of patient support.
This years winners will be announced on March 14, 2012, at a special ceremony during MEDTEC Europe 2012, in the Atrium of the Messe Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany.
About the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart
SynCardia Systems, Inc. (Tucson, AZ) is the privately-held manufacturer of the world’s first and only FDA, Health Canada and CE approved Total Artificial Heart. Originally used as a permanent replacement heart, SynCardia’s Total Artificial Heart is currently approved as a bridge to transplant for people dying from end-stage biventricular heart failure. There have been more than 950 implants of the Total Artificial Heart, accounting for more than 230 patient years of life.
Similar to a heart transplant, SynCardia’s Total Artificial Heart replaces both failing heart ventricles and the four heart valves, eliminating the symptoms and source of end-stage biventricular failure. Unlike a donor heart, the Total Artificial Heart is immediately available at SynCardia Certified Centers and does not require expensive anti-rejection medication, which can cause subsequent complications. It is the only device that provides immediate, safe blood flow of up to 9.5 liters per minute through both ventricles. This high volume of safe blood flow helps speed the recovery of vital organs, helping make the patient a better transplant candidate.
SynCardia Ranked #20 Among World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies
In March 2011, Fast Company magazine ranked SynCardia #20 in its annual list of the “World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies” for “giving mobility to artificial heart recipients.” Weighing 13.5 pounds, SynCardia’s Freedom? portable driver is the world’s first wearable driver designed to power the Total Artificial Heart both inside and outside the hospital. The Freedom driver is CE approved for use in Europe and undergoing an FDA-approved Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical study in the U.S.

Multiple SPC Applications Identified for Vildagliptin Products
(PRWEB) December 05, 2011
The article by GenericsWeb highlights the following observations in relation to generic Vildagliptin:
????Galvus and Eucreas are currently available as oral tablet formulations.
????Vildagliptin is currently authorised in Europe and Australia, however Vildagliptin is not currently approved in Canada or the US.
????The earliest patent family identified as relating to Vildagliptin relates to the use of DPP-4 inhibitors for the treatment of diseases which are based on glucose concentrations, a group amongst which Vildagliptin is included. Opposition proceedings were brought against the granted European patent within this family by Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Glaxo, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Takeda, Tanabe Seiyaku and Pfizer, resulting in revocation of the patent.
????Novartis molecule patent family protection for Vildagliptin remains in force in all major territories until December 2019. In Europe, Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPCs) and a national patent term extension in Australia extend the Vildagliptin molecule protection until September 2022 and December 2024 respectively.
????Additional SPC applications within the molecule patent family have also been filed for the fixed dose combination of Vildagliptin with Metformin. These will provide nearly two months additional protection until November 2022 if granted, however such SPC applications have been rejected in certain European states.
????A later filed patent family with expiries of January 2021 claims antidiabetic combinations, specifically Vildagliptin in combination with Metformin, and as such is considered to be constraining for marketed products containing this fixed combination. Again, SPCs have been filed for this combination with expiries of November 2022 if granted.
????In all major territories where Vildagliptin has been marketed, the data and marketing exclusivity do not extend beyond patent protection.
????Competing innovator companies with interest in DPP-4 inhibitors appear in the top applicants for patents that can be related to Vildagliptin, including Boehringer Ingelheim (Linagliptin), Bristol-Myers Squibb (Saxagliptin), Takeda (Alogliptin) and GlaxoSmithKline due to cross over of claimed inventions into other, similar products.
????Since approval, there has been consistent filing of patent applications in the area of combination, use and analytical method (assay) patents relating to Vildagliptin.
GenericsWeb notes that: In summary, protection remains in force for the Vildagliptin molecule as a result of specific molecule patents which represent a barrier to generic competition to Galvus?. Furthermore, generic combinations of Vildagliptin and Metformin are also protected for an additional period of less than two months due to subsequent filing of SPCs. However the protection varies significantly across countries even in the EU, where patent protection is sought to be harmonised. Due to the complex patent landscape surrounding Vildagliptin, it is likely that the launch date of Vildagliptin generic products will vary significantly in individual countries. Subsequent protection of molecular forms, processes and formulations for this molecule appear to be relatively weak, thus when generic entry is possible, it is likely that it will be heavily competed.
The prominence and continuing growth of the global diabetes pharmaceutical industry means that even at this relatively early stage generic companies will closely watch the patent landscape surrounding Vildagliptin and any future developments in its lifecycle.
