Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Analyst Notes
On April 21, 2014, Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Questcor) announced results from an investigator-initiated clinical study that examined the dosing and effectiveness of H.P. Acthar® Gel in 20 patients with nephrotic syndrome due to idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN). According to the Company, the results demonstrated that Acthar Gel is proven to be a potentially useful therapy for inducing remission of proteinuria in patients suffering from nephrotic syndrome secondary to iMN. Questcor added that the study also showed that the clearance of anti-PLA2R antibodies, an immunological marker of iMN disease activity, preceded or paralleled improvements in proteinuria as a result of Acthar treatment in patients with detectable antibody levels. The Company further stated that Acthar Gel was well tolerated by patients during the course of the study, with the most common side effects being mood changes, weight gain, and transient insomnia.
