About Questcor
Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company whose primary
product, Acthar, helps patients with serious, difficult-to-treat medical
conditions. Questcor's primary product is H.P. Acthar? Gel (repository
corticotropin injection), an injectable drug that is approved by the FDA for the
treatment of 19 indications. Of these 19 indications, Questcor currently
generates substantially all of its net sales from three indications: the
treatment of acute exacerbations of multiple sclerosis in adults, the treatment
of nephrotic syndrome, and the treatment of infantile spasms in children under
two years of age. With respect to nephrotic syndrome, the FDA has approved Acthar
to "induce a diuresis or a remission of proteinuria in the nephrotic syndrome
without uremia of the idiopathic type or that due to lupus erythematosus."
Questcor is also exploring the use of Acthar to treat systemic lupus
erythematosus, or SLE, for which Acthar is approved as both a maintenance therapy
and to treat exacerbations. Questcor is also exploring the possibility of
developing markets for other on-label indications and the possibility of pursuing
FDA approval of additional indications not currently on the Acthar label where
there is high unmet medical need. In October 2011, Forbes magazine ranked
Questcor number one in its annual rankings of America's Best Small Companies. For
