About Theravance Biopharma
Theravance Biopharma, Inc. is a diversified biopharmaceutical
company with the core purpose of creating medicines that help
improve the lives of patients suffering from serious illness.
Our pipeline of internally discovered product candidates
includes potential best-in-class medicines to address the unmet
needs of patients being treated for serious conditions primarily in
the acute care setting. VIBATIV® (telavancin), our first
commercial product, is a once-daily dual-mechanism antibiotic
approved in the U.S., Europe and
certain other countries for certain difficult-to-treat infections.
Revefenacin (TD-4208) is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist
("LAMA") being developed as a potential once-daily, nebulized
treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD"). Our
neprilysin ("NEP") inhibitor program is designed to develop
selective NEP inhibitors for the treatment of a range of major
cardiovascular and renal diseases, including acute and chronic
heart failure, hypertension and chronic kidney diseases such as
diabetic nephropathy. Our research efforts are focused in the areas
of inflammation and immunology, with the goal of designing
medicines that provide targeted drug delivery to tissues in the
lung and gastrointestinal tract in order to maximize patient
benefit and minimize risk. The first program to emerge from this
research is designed to develop intestinally restricted pan-Janus
kinase ("JAK") inhibitors for the treatment of a range of
inflammatory intestinal diseases.
In addition, we have an economic interest in future payments
that may be made by Glaxo Group Limited or one of its affiliates
pursuant to its agreements with Innoviva, Inc. relating to certain
drug development programs, including the combination of fluticasone
furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol (the "Closed Triple"),
currently in development for the treatment of COPD and asthma.
