Alternatively, the Parties may agree to have all of the Diligence Information uploaded to an electronic data room for further review and inspection by Hyperion, in which case the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth inSection 2.4.4 shall apply.
2.4.3 In the event the Parties proceed with a physical review and inspection of the documents at the location designated by Ucyclyd as described inSection 2.4.2, during such review and inspection, Hyperion may designate documents to be uploaded to an electronic data room for further review and inspection by Hyperion, provided the amount of information to be uploaded is reasonable.
2.4.4 The Diligence Information made available in the electronic data room will remain available to Hyperion for a period of *** following the date on which the last of the Diligence Information initially requested by Hyperion is uploaded to the electronic data room. Hyperion bears the sole cost and expense of the data room (including the uploading of documents).

2.5 Manufacturing Facility Inspection.
2.5.1 During the Pre-Closing Period and following the conclusion of the *** diligence review described inSection 2.4.2 above, Hyperion shall have the right, by written notice to Ucyclyd, to request that Ucyclyd request that the applicable Third Party manufacturer of the Marketed Products permit an inspection of the manufacturing facilities where the Marketed Products are manufactured, filled and finished by a Third Party that is (a) mutually agreed by the Parties, (b) retained by Hyperion at Hyperion’s sole cost and expense, and (c) subject to confidentiality obligations to Ucyclyd but is permitted to disclose to Hyperion only the results of the inspection.
2.5.2 Within a reasonable period of time following Ucyclyd’s receipt of such written request from Hyperion, Ucyclyd shall request and facilitate the conduct of such an inspection of the applicable Third Party manufacturer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ucyclyd shall only be required to require that the applicable Third Party manufacturer permit such inspection to the extent that (a) such inspection is *** and (b) allowing such Third Party to conduct such inspection would not***; provided, however, that even ifsubsection (a) or(b) applies, Ucyclyd shall remain obligated to request permission from such Third Party manufacturer to conduct such inspection (but, for clarity, shall not be required to conduct such inspection unless such Third Party manufacturer grants such permission).
2.6 Investigator Sponsored Trials. During the Pre-Closing Period, Ucyclyd shall have the right to support investigator-sponsored activities involving the Marketed Products or other investigator-sponsored use of the Marketed Products.
2.7 Marketed Product Sales Volume.

Hyperion acknowledges that the Marketed Products are life-saving drugs and the foregoing shall not preclude Ucyclyd from responding to bona fide increased demand to meet patient needs.
ARTICLE 3
RIGHTS TO PURCHASE ASSETS
3.1 Purchase Right. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including payment by Hyperion of any amounts due to Ucyclyd as of the relevant date and the rights of Ucyclyd pursuant toSection 3.4 below, Ucyclyd hereby grants to Hyperion an option (the “Marketed Products Option”) to purchase all of Ucyclyd’s rights, title and interests in the Transferred Marketed Products (which shall include the Assets and shall exclude the Excluded Assets) (collectively, the “Marketed Products Rights”). Such Marketed Products Option will be exercisable by Hyperion, by written notice to Ucyclyd (which written notice shall specify that it is the “MARKETED PRODUCTS OPTION EXERCISE NOTICE”) (the “Exercise Notice”), upon the earlier of (a) the date of the written notification from the FDA approving any NDA for HPN-100 for the treatment of UCD and (b) June 30, 2013 and will remain exercisable for ninety (90) days thereafter (the “Marketed Products Option Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any NDA for HPN-100 in UCD is approved prior to January 1, 2013, then the Marketed Products Option

Period will commence on January 1, 2013 and will continue for ninety (90) days thereafter, and Hyperion may exercise the Marketed Products Option at any time during this ninety (90) day period.
3.2 Excluded Assets.The term “Excluded Assets” means: (a) any *** technology or other formulation technology resulting from development efforts of Ucyclyd, Medicis and its Affiliates relating to Active Moiety Products (for clarity, such technology is licensed to Hyperion pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(ii) of the APA); (b) the 1-888-Phone Number (only if Ucyclyd exercises the Ammonul Option); (c) any work product and intellectual property rights that (i) are owned or controlled by Ucyclyd or one or more Ucyclyd Affiliates as of the Effective Date or are later acquired (pursuant to acquisition, license or otherwise) or developed by or on behalf of Ucyclyd or a Ucyclyd Affiliate and (ii) result from research or development efforts with respect to ***; and (d) any *** Orphan Designation. In addition, Excluded Assets also includes the Ammonul Specific Know-How if Ucyclyd exercises the Ammonul Option.
3.3 Purchase Price. If the Marketed Products Option is exercised pursuant to Section 3.1 above, then Hyperion shall pay Ucyclyd (or shall set off against the payment due from Ucyclyd as set forth below and as applicable) the aggregate total purchase price listed below (the “Marketed Products Purchase Price”):
(a) If Ucyclyd elects to retain rights to Ammonul Product (including ***) as described inSection 3.4 below, the Marketed Products Purchase Price will be $19 million, which will be paid in full at the Marketed Products Closing Date and will be set off against the payment due from Ucyclyd to Hyperion underSection 3.4, leaving a net payment from Ucyclyd to Hyperion of $13 million.
(b) If Ucyclyd does not retain rights to Ammonul Product (including ***) as described inSection 3.4 below, the Marketed Products Purchase Price will be $22 million, which either (at Hyperion’s election) will be paid by Hyperion in full at the Marketed Products Closing Date or will be paid by delivering to Ucyclyd on the Marketed Products Closing Date (i) the Note and (ii) the Security Agreement, each as executed by an authorized officer of Hyperion. As specified therein, the Note shall be repaid by Hyperion in eight (8) equal quarterly installments commencing on the first Business Day of the first calendar quarter following the Marketed Products Closing Date and continuing on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter thereafter in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Note. Hyperion’s obligations under the Note shall be secured by a first priority lien in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement.
3.4 Rights to Ammonul.
(a) Following Ucyclyd’s receipt of the Exercise Notice from Hyperion, Ucyclyd shall have the option (the “Ammonul Option”) to retain all rights to the Ammonul Product (including ***) including the right to develop and commercialize the Ammonul Product for all indications (the “Ammonul Rights”), subject to Section 7.02 of the APA. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence is not intended to grant any rights or licenses under Hyperion’s intellectual property beyond the licenses set forth inSection 8.2.2. The Ammonul Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice to Hyperion within *** after Ucyclyd’s receipt of the Exercise Notice from Hyperion, which written notice shall specify that it is the “AMMONUL RIGHTS OPTION EXERCISE NOTICE”. If Ucyclyd exercises the Ammonul Option, in consideration for Hyperion foregoing its right to purchase Ammonul Product (including ***), Ucyclyd will pay Hyperion $32 million, due on the Marketed Products Closing Date, which will be set off against the payment due from Hyperion to Ucyclyd underSection 3.3, leaving a net

payment from Ucyclyd to Hyperion of $13 million. For clarity, if Hyperion exercises the Marketed Products Option but fails to close on the transaction to purchase the Transferred Marketed Products in accordance withSection 3.5 and Ucyclyd exercised the Ammonul Option, no payment is due from Ucyclyd to Hyperion with respect to the exercise of the Ammonul Option and Ucyclyd shall be free to exercise the Ammonul Rights with no obligation to Hyperion.
(b) If Ucyclyd retains rights to the Ammonul Product (including ***) by exercising the Ammonul Option, then effective upon the Marketed Products Closing Date, Hyperion will receive a right of first negotiation solely with respect to the Ammonul Rights should Ucyclyd (or any Affiliate or any acquirer of Ucyclyd) later decide to sell, exclusively license, or otherwise transfer the Ammonul Rights to a Third Party (for clarity, the foregoing only applies to the sale, license or other transfer of the Ammonul Rights and not to (i) any Change in Control of Ucyclyd (or any Affiliate, including a parent, or acquirer) (excluding, for purposes of this Section,subsection (b) of the definition of Change in Control) or (ii) sale where Ammonul Product is one of *** approved or marketed products being sold as a bundle to the Third Party). Hyperion must exercise the option within *** following receipt of written notice from Ucyclyd regarding Ucyclyd’s desire to sell, license or otherwise transfer the Ammonul Rights to a Third Party. If Hyperion exercises such right of first negotiation, the Parties shall engage in negotiations promptly with respect to any such sale, license or other transfer. If, within *** following Ucyclyd’s receipt of written notice from Hyperion exercising the right of first negotiation, the Parties fail to reach a written binding agreement on the material terms (e.g., binding term sheet or letter of intent) under which the Ammonul Rights will be transferred to Hyperion, Ucyclyd will be free to sell, license or transfer the Ammonul Product (including ***) to a Third Party, provided that the terms of such deal, in the aggregate, are no more favorable to the Third Party than the aggregate of the terms last offered by Hyperion. For clarity, the rights under thissubsection (b) automatically terminate if Hyperion does not close on the purchase of the Transferred Marketed Products.
3.5 Closing.
3.5.1 Closing Date. If Hyperion exercises the Marketed Products Option, the Parties shall mutually agree upon a date for the Marketed Products Closing, which date shall be not later than *** following the date of Ucyclyd’s receipt of the Exercise Notice from Hyperion.
3.5.2 Account for Purchase Payment. No less than *** prior to the Marketed Products Closing Date, each Party shall designate an account for the receipt of the Marketed Products Purchase Price or other payments due on the Marketed Products Closing Date (as applicable) and shall provide the other Party with written wire instructions to such account.
3.5.3 Closing Mechanics.
(a) On the Marketed Products Closing Date, Hyperion shall become obligated to pay Ucyclyd the Marketed Products Purchase Price in accordance withSection 3.3(a) or 3.3(b) (as applicable).
(b) On the Marketed Products Closing Date, the Parties shall execute and deliver all documents set forth below (the “Purchase Transaction Documents”), under which Ucyclyd shall sell, transfer, assign and convey all Assets to Hyperion:
(i) a bill of sale in the form attached to the Agreement asExhibit 4, under which Ucyclyd transfers the ownership of certain Assets (including all Inventories described inSection 3.6.2) to Hyperion, which shall be signed by both Ucyclyd and Hyperion;

Each of Ucyclyd and Hyperion shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission which is necessary under the HSR Act. As promptly as practicable, Ucyclyd and Hyperion shall make, or cause to be made, all such other filings and submissions under laws, rules and regulations applicable to them, or to their Affiliates, as may be required for them to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Ucyclyd and Hyperion shall keep one another appraised of the status of any communications with, and inquiries or requests for additional information from, any Governmental Authority, including the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, and shall comply promptly with any such inquiry or request. Each Party shall bear its own costs in completing and making any required filings pursuant tosubsections (a) and(b) of thisSection 3.5.4; provided, however, that Hyperion shall be responsible solely for any required filing fees under the HSR Act.
(b) Following the exercise of the Marketed Products Option, Hyperion shall: (i) determine the fair market value of the transaction described in the Agreement for HSR Act purposes (including both the scenario where Ucyclyd exercises the Ammonul Option and the scenario where Ucyclyd does not exercise the Ammonul Option, if Ucyclyd has not yet elected one or the other); (ii) communicate in writing to Ucyclyd the fair market value determination(s) as soon as reasonably practicable; and (iii) discuss with counsel of Ucyclyd the methodology and evidence Hyperion employed in making such determination not later than the Marketed Products Closing.

Hyperion shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Ucyclyd, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with efforts to contest, resist, vacate, lift, reverse or overturn any such decree, judgment, injunction or other order. For any other cooperation provided by a Party pursuant to thissubsection (c), including responding to any government requests for information under the HSR Act, each Party shall bear its own costs in providing such cooperation.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Governmental Authority (including the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice) challenges the transaction on antitrust grounds, and the challenge cannot be resolved by consent decree, the Parties may terminate the Term of the Agreement pursuant toSection 11.2(b).
(e) In any event, if a filing is required under the HSR Act in connection with the sale of the Marketed Products Rights to Hyperion hereunder, the Marketed Products Closing shall not occur unless and until the expiration or early termination of the waiting period for the HSR Act.

The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur if any portion of thisSection 3.5 were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
3.6 Transition at Closing. To the extent the Parties identify activities not covered in thisSection 3.6 or otherwise in the Agreement that are to be conducted by the Parties in connection with the transition of the Assets to Hyperion following the Marketed Products Closing (the “Other Transition Activities”), the Parties agree (a) to negotiate in good faith a transition services agreement by ***, which agreement will require reimbursement of Ucyclyd by Hyperion for (i) the Other Transition Activities undertaken by Ucyclyd in connection with such transition that in the aggregate exceed *** of work and (ii) any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Ucyclyd in excess of $***, and (b) to execute such transition services agreement as soon as reasonably practicable following the exercise of the Marketed Products Option (but in any event prior to the expected Marketed Products Closing Date). Hyperion agrees that all transition activities shall be conducted, to the extent reasonably practicable, to minimize disruption to the business of Ucyclyd and its Affiliates. The preceding sentence is not intended to waive Ucyclyd’s compliance with any deadlines set forth herein or in the aforementioned transition services agreement.

13.3.1 General. The Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claims covered under the terms ofSection 13.2 or any other provision of the Agreement whereby a Party agrees to indemnify the other Party, as applicable, for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification; provided, however, that any delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party hereunder except to the extent such delay materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such claim or materially increases the amount of damages awarded or paid in settlement of such claim. For a period that shall not exceed *** following any such notification, the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall investigate and discuss in good faith whether such claim is subject to indemnification under the applicable provisions of the Agreement. During such discussions, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party full access to all records, data and personnel of the Indemnified Party as may be reasonably necessary to make such determination. If the Parties are unable to agree on whether the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the terms of the Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its option, shall either assume or decline defense of the claims, including negotiations for its settlement or compromise.
13.3.2 Defense Assumed. If the Indemnifying Party assumes defense of a claim as described herein, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim and may be represented, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, by counsel of its choice, provided that, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed defense of a claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have sole control over such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for defending any claims other than those described inSection 13.2or any other provision of the Agreement whereby a Party agrees to indemnify the other Party, as applicable, even if brought in the same suit. In addition to the foregoing, if a court of competent jurisdiction later determines that a claim for which the Indemnifying Party assumed defense was not eligible for indemnification hereunder within *** following such determination, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such claim.
13.3.3 Defense Declined. If the Indemnifying Party declines to assume defense of any claim, and it is later determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such claim was eligible for indemnification hereunder within *** following such determination, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party in full for all judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such claim.

13.3.4 Settlement of Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement: (a) materially diminishes any of the Indemnified Party’s rights under the Agreement or seeks to impose additional obligations on the Indemnified Party; or (b) arises out of or is a part of any criminal action, suit or proceeding or contains a stipulation or admission or acknowledgement of any liability or wrongdoing (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) on the part of the Indemnified Party.
13.3.5 Contributory Negligence; Right of Contribution. Nothing contained herein shall bar a claim for contributory negligence or a Party’s right of contribution.

Hyperion shall promptly notify Ucyclyd in the event that any of the foregoing insurance policies are terminated or canceled (unless they are replaced, without any gap in coverage, by another policy that meets the requirements of this Section).

Such insurance shall designate Ucyclyd and its Affiliates as “additional insureds” on comprehensive general liability policies. In the event the insurance policy obtained by Hyperion is a “claims made” policy (as opposed to an “occurrence” policy), Hyperion shall obtain comparable insurance (by obtaining an extended reporting period or otherwise) for not less than *** following the expiration and non-renewal or termination of the Agreement. Hyperion shall promptly notify Ucyclyd in the event that any of the foregoing insurance policies are terminated or canceled (unless they are replaced, without any gap in coverage, by another policy that meets the requirements of this Section). Hyperion’s insurance coverage must be primary coverage without right of contribution from any insurance of Ucyclyd or its Affiliates. At Ucyclyd’s

reasonable request, Hyperion shall provide Ucyclyd certificates of insurance evidencing the coverage and limits required by thisSection 13.4.
13.5 Insurance Proceeds. Any indemnification under thisArticle 13 shall be made net of any insurance proceeds recovered by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if, following the payment to the Indemnified Party of any amount under thisArticle 13, such Indemnified Party recovers any insurance proceeds in respect of the claim for which such indemnification payment was made, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds (but not exceeding the amount of such indemnification payment) to the Indemnifying Party.
13.6 Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A BREACH OF A PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT.

(b) The dispute shall be resolved by a panel of three (3) arbitrators (the “Arbitration Panel”). As long as they are each able and available to perform the duties of an arbitrator, the Arbitration Panel shall consist of the following three arbitrators: ***, *** and ***.

Subject to the foregoing limitations, all discovery will be guided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

In the event that Lender institutes legal proceedings to enforce the Transaction Documents, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, in addition to any indebtedness due and unpaid, all costs and expenses of such proceedings, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the other Transaction Documents are deemed to have been relied upon by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation by Lender.
Should this Note be signed by more than one person, firm or corporation or combination thereof, all of the obligations herein contained shall be considered joint and several obligations of each signer hereof. In such case, the liability of each such signer shall be absolute, unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other party hereto.
This Note is given and accepted as evidence of indebtedness only and not in payment or satisfaction of any indebtedness or obligation.
The form and essential validity of this Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Time is of the essence with respect to all Borrower’s obligations and agreements under this Note.

Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints any officer of Lender (designated by Lender for such purpose) its attorney-in-fact, in Borrower’s name, place and stead, to execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as Lender may require to perfect and preserve Lender’s security interest in, and to enforce such interests in the Collateral, solely to the extent required to further such security interest and only to the extent Lender was unable to secure performance from Buyer with respect to such execution or other acts, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Upon satisfaction of the Obligations, Lender covenants and agrees that it will promptly execute and deliver such releases and other documents reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence the termination of this Security Agreement and the release of all liens or security interests created hereunder. Borrower shall pay all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith.
4. Borrower shall keep the Collateral in good order, and shall have sole responsibility for taking such steps as may be necessary, from time to time, to preserve all rights of Borrower and Lender in the Collateral against third parties. Borrower, at its place of business, shall keep accurate and complete books and records related to the Collateral in accordance with sound and generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with prior years. Lender shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice and no more than once per year (except in the event of default), to inspect said books and records during business hours and make extracts therefrom.
5. Borrower covenants with and warrants to Lender that: (a) Borrower is the sole owner of the Collateral free from any lien, security interest or encumbrance of any kind; (b) Borrower will not sell, lease or grant any further security interest in the Collateral or any part thereof, and will not part with possession of the same, except in the usual and ordinary course of Borrower’s business; (c) Borrower will not use or permit the Collateral to be used in any material violation of any law or ordinance; (d) Borrower will not change its jurisdiction of incorporation without the Lender’s prior written consent (such consent will not be unreasonably withheld); (e) Borrower will not change its legal name or transact business under any other trade name without first giving 30 days’ prior written notice of its intent to do so to the Lender; and (f) Borrower will maintain any of its existing insurance that covers the Collateral for the full duration of this Agreement against reasonable risks of loss, damage and destruction (to the extent the Collateral is reasonably insurable), and, if requested by Lender, shall deliver to Lender within ten (10) days from the date hereof, a fully paid policy or certificate of insurance containing a Lender’s Loss Payable clause in form and content acceptable to, and in favor of, Lender. In the event Borrower, at any time or times hereafter, shall fail to maintain any of such policies of insurance, or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then Lender, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Borrower hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter, (but shall be under no obligation to do so) maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto, which Lender deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by Lender, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be additional Obligations secured hereunder and shall be payable on demand by Borrower to Lender. Borrower covenants, warrants and represents to Lender that all representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement (whether appearing in this Paragraph 5 or

10. BORROWER WAIVES EVERY DEFENSE, CAUSE OF ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR SETOFF WHICH BORROWER MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO ANY ACTION BY LENDER IN ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT OR THE COLLATERAL AND RATIFIES AND CONFIRMS WHATEVER LENDER MAY DO PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF AND WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL.

HYPERION THERAPEUTICS ACQUIRES RAVICTI™ (GLYCEROL PHENYLBUTYRATE) FROM UCYCLYD PHARMA, INC.
- NDA for Adjunctive Therapy in the Chronic Management of Urea Cycle Disorders (UCD) in Patients³ 6 Years of Age Currently Under Review by FDA -
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, California, March 22, 2012 - Hyperion Therapeutics, Inc. today announced that it has acquired worldwide rights to the investigational drug Ravicti™ (glycerol phenylbutyrate) from Ucyclyd Pharma, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (NYSE: MRX). Terms of the deal were not disclosed. In connection with the acquisition announced today, Hyperion also entered into an amended and restated collaboration agreement with Ucyclyd pursuant to which Hyperion retains an option to acquire, in the first half of 2013 for a pre-negotiated price, worldwide rights for BUPHENYL® and, subject to certain conditions, AMMONUL®.
Under terms of a previous collaboration agreement with Ucyclyd Pharma, Hyperion has been developing Ravicti for two orphan diseases: urea cycle disorders and episodic hepatic encephalopathy. A New Drug Application (NDA) for the use of Ravicti as adjunctive therapy for the chronic management of urea cycle disorders in patients six years of age and older was recently accepted for filing by the FDA and is currently under review. The FDA action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) is October 23, 2012. Hyperion has completed enrollment in a phase II study in patients with cirrhosis and episodic hepatic encephalopathy. Results from that study are expected to be available late in the second quarter of this year.
Ravicti™ (Glycerol Phenylbutyrate) UCD Development Program
The Ravicti NDA includes results from a single Phase III study which included a long term safety extension and two Phase II supporting studies. The Phase III multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study evaluated the non-inferiority of Ravicti as compared to sodium phenylbutyrate (BUPHENYL®) in controlling blood ammonia in adults aged 18 years and above with UCD. The study was conducted in accordance with a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) with the FDA.
About Ravicti
Ravicti™ (glycerol phenylbutyrate), an investigational drug formerly known as HPN-100, is a pre-pro-drug of phenylacetic acid, the active moiety of BUPHENYL®, the only branded therapy currently FDA-approved as adjunctive therapy for the chronic management of patients with urea cycle disorders due to deficiencies in carbamylphosphate synthetase (CPS), ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), and argininosuccinic acid synthetase (AS). Ravicti holds orphan product designations in the US and Europe for the maintenance treatment of patients with urea cycle disorders and in the US for the intermittent or chronic treatment of patients with cirrhosis and any grade of hepatic encephalopathy.

About Urea Cycle Disorders
Urea cycle disorders are inherited, inborn errors of metabolism present in an estimated 1 in 10,000 births in the United States. Patients with urea cycle disorders are deficient in one of the key enzymes that comprise the urea cycle, the body’s primary vehicle for removing ammonia, a potent neurotoxin, from the bloodstream. Onset may occur at any age depending on the severity of the disorder. If left untreated, urea cycle disorders can cause dangerously heightened levels of ammonia in the bloodstream (hyperammonemia) resulting in brain damage, coma, and/or death.
About Hepatic Encephalopathy
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious but potentially reversible neurological disorder that can occur in patients with cirrhosis of any etiology or acute liver failure. HE comprises a spectrum of neurological signs and symptoms ranging from mild (e.g. minimal disorientation) to severe (e.g. coma, death) and is believed to occur when the brain is exposed to gut-derived toxins such as ammonia that are normally removed from the blood by a healthy liver. Based on the current epidemiological literature, Hyperion estimates that there are approximately one million1,2 patients in the US with cirrhosis, of whom approximately 140,000 have overt HE.
