The Medicines Company Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2016 Financial ResultsThe Medicines Company (NASDAQ:MDCO) today announced its financial results for the fourth-quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2016. "Driven by strong execution against our strategic priorities, 2016 was a transformative year for the Company," said Clive Meanwell, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of The Medicines Company. "We announced positive top-line results from the ORION-1 Phase II study of inclisiran, which continued to demonstrate compelling safety and efficacy data, reinforcing our belief in its highly-differentiated and competitive profile and providing a strong basis for advancing inclisiran into Phase III. We look forward to presenting full safety and efficacy data from the ORION-1 study, with six- to nine-month follow-up for all study patients, in the Late-Breaking Clinical Trials session at the American College of Cardiology's 66th Annual Scientific Session." Dr. Meanwell continued, "During the year, we also announced impressive results from the TANGO 1 Phase III clinical trial of Carbavance® (meropenem-vaborbactam) in patients with complicated urinary tract infection. Our new drug application filing for Carbavance was recently accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for priority review. Carbavance has the potential to be a promising and highly-differentiated treatment option for patients with the most serious drug-resistant infections. Finally, during 2016, we took decisive actions to significantly strengthen the Company's financial position, including generating non-dilutive capital through the disposition of non-core products, refinancing approximately 80% of our 2017 convertible notes and implementing a restructuring to streamline our infrastructure and reduce operating expenses and R&D. Importantly, these actions have provided the Company with substantial strategic and operational flexibility and positioned us to further unlock the value of our key development programs. We look forward to continuing our momentum in 2017."
