About Rockwell Medical:
Rockwell Medical is a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company offering innovative products and services targeting end-stage renal disease (ESRD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and iron deficiency anemia. The Company is currently developing unique, proprietary renal drugs to treat anemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Rockwell's lead drug candidate for iron therapy treatment is called SFP. SFP delivers iron to dialysis patients in a non-invasive, physiologic manner via dialysate during their regular dialysis treatment. SFP is currently in ongoing Phase III clinical trials and addresses a $600M U.S. market. Rockwell's Calcitriol (vitamin D injection) for treating secondary hyperparathyroidism will be available in mid-2012, addressing a $350M U.S. market.
Rockwell is also an established manufacturer and leader in delivering high-quality hemodialysis concentrates/dialysates to dialysis providers and distributors in the U.S. and abroad. These products are used to maintain human life by removing toxins and replacing critical nutrients in the dialysis patient's bloodstream. Rockwell's operating business is designed as a ready-made sales and distribution channel for seamless integration into the commercial markets for its drug products, Calcitriol in 2012 and SFP upon FDA market approval.
Rockwell's exclusive renal drug therapies support disease management initiatives to improve the quality of life and care of dialysis patients and are intended to deliver safe and effective therapy, while decreasing drug administration costs and improving patient convenience. Rockwell Medical is developing a pipeline of drug therapies, including extensions of SFP for indications outside of hemodialysis. Please visit www.rockwellmed.com for more information.
