BDI Pharma, Inc. (BDI), the preeminent national wholesaler of specialty biopharmaceutical products, announced today that its Q1 distribution of Wyeth Pharmaceuticals' XYNTHA Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant) -- the manufacturer's new Plasma-Free and Albumin-Free recombinant factor VIII product -- surpassed the company's projected forecast for that time period. "We could not be more pleased with the market uptake and the ready acceptance of XYNTHA we have witnessed since the product's release in the U.S.," said William Shirey, Executive Vice President of BDI. "The antihemophilic marketplace is a highly competitive environment with a myriad of choices for the end-user. The fact that our company's sales for XYNTHA have tracked twenty-two percent (22%) ahead of the results forecasted for the first fiscal quarter and continue to pace at an even greater rate thus far for Q2, reflects BDI's ability to assist its trade partners with the introduction of new products, the development of brand identity and the generation of vital market share."

XYNTHA Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Plasma/Albumin-Free is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the control and prevention of bleeding episodes in patients with hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency or classic hemophilia) and for surgical prophylaxis in patients with hemophilia A. XYNTHA's manufacturing process is albumin-free from start to finish, utilizing a unique synthetic ligand purification process totally free of animal materials and a nanofiltration step using a 35 nanometer pore-size filter. XYNTHA is Wyeth's next generation replacement for ReFacto which exits the U.S. market on May 31, 2009.
