PITTSBURGH , Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PANTHERx Rare announces that it has been selected by Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc., as the exclusive U.S. pharmacy distribution partner for a new FDA-approved medication, Recorlev ® (levoketoconazole). Recorlev is a cortisol synthesis inhibitor indicated for the treatment of endogenous hypercortisolemia in adult patients with Cushing's syndrome for whom surgery is not an option or has not been curative. Cushing's syndrome, a disease associated with increased production of cortisol, occurs most commonly in adults between ages 30-50 and affects women two times more often than men.
Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is a rare and serious endocrine disease, often the result of a benign pituitary tumor stimulating the body to overproduce cortisol for long periods of time, leading to unwanted physical and emotional symptoms. Additionally, the internal manifestations of the disease are potentially life-threatening and include metabolic changes such as high blood sugar, or diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fragility of various tissues including blood vessels, skin, muscle and bone, and psychological disturbances such as depression, anxiety and insomnia. Recorlev will be commercially available in the first quarter.
"PANTHERx is proud to partner with Xeris to address the needs of adults with endogenous Cushing's syndrome," said Rob Snyder , President of PANTHERx. "As the sole pharmacy for Recorlev, PANTHERx recognizes the importance of outstanding execution in order to deliver innovative medication, customized support services, and hope to this vulnerable patient population."
PANTHERx is driven by our mission to transform the lives of people across the country who are living with rare diseases. Our communications and support services are tailored to the desires of each patient and the requirements of their life-changing medications. The culture of sincere care fostered at PANTHERx propels the company forward, encouraging the development of new systems, services, and programs for the benefit of each and every PANTHERx patient.
