CORPORATE MEDIA RELEASE

ENDOSCOPY PUBLISHES THE MORA PHASE III TRIAL FOR PLENVU^®(NER1006), THE ONLY 1 LITRE PEG BASED BOWEL PREPARATION[i]

AMSTERDAM. The Netherlands, 19 July 2018, 14:00 CET. Norgine B.V. today announced that results from the PLENVU^® Phase III MORA trial were published in ENDOSCOPY, a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal on behalf of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

PLENVU^®is the first low volume preparation to demonstrate superior colon cleansing efficacy versus MOVIPREP^®, with comparable safety and tolerability.

The MORA trial, a European Phase III study in adults, was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PLENVU^® compared to MOVIPREP^® using a 2-day evening / morning split-dosing regimen. PLENVU^® was also tested as a 1-day morning only split-dosing regimen. The study met both of its primary endpoints:

Overall colon cleansing: when administered using a morning split dosing regimen, PLENVU^®is superior to MOVIPREP^®in achieving successful overall bowel cleansing success (97.3% vs. 92.2%,P=0.014, per protocol population)
right colon cleansing: PLENVU^® administered as either evening morning split dosing or morning only split dosing is superior to MOVIPREP^® (32.3% and 34.4% vs. 15.9% , P<0.001 for both, per protocol population).

PLENVU^® is approved in Europe and in the US. In Europe, PLENVU^®is available through Norgine and in the US through its partner Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. (“Salix”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.

Norgine manufactures PLENVU^®globally.
