Horizon Pharma plc (HZNP) said that pre-clinical data from an investigator initiated study demonstrated that treatment with murine interferon gamma, which is an analogue of interferon gamma-1b (ACTIMMUNE(R)), improved the signs of disease severity in a mouse model of Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis Type II, the most common form of osteopetrosis, a group of conditions characterized by an increased skeletal mass due to impaired bone and cartilage resorption.
HZNP's ACTIMMUNE, a biologically manufactured protein similar to one the body makes naturally to help prevent infection, is currently FDA-approved for use in two rare diseases. It is indicated to reduce the frequency and severity of serious infections associated with Chronic Granulomatous Disease, a genetic disorder that affects the functioning of some cells of the immune system. In addition, HZNP's ACTIMMUNE is indicated to slow the worsening of severe, malignant osteopetrosis, a genetic disorder that affects normal bone formation.
Shares of HZNP surged $1.07 (or +5.11%) to $21.91 on Friday's trading session
HZNP is a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on improving patients’ lives by identifying, developing, acquiring and commercializing differentiated products that address unmet medical needs

XOMA Corp. (XOMA) announced positive data from XOMA 358, the lead antibody in the Company's XMet D program.

These preliminary data provide a strong rationale for continued study of XOMA 358 in adults and children with hypoglycemia due to overproduction of insulin.
XOMA 358 is a fully human allosteric modulating monoclonal antibody that binds to insulin receptors and attenuates insulin action
