Shield Therapeutics PLC is a fast growing specialty pharmaceutical company formed in 2008 focusing on the development and commercialisation of late-stage, hospital-focused pharmaceuticals which address areas of high unmet medical need. The Company's key products are Feraccru®, for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and PT20 (a late stage pharmaceutical) for the treatment of systemic phosphate accumulation (otherwise known as hyperphosphatemia). Feraccru obtained its first marketing authorisation (via the EU centralised procedure) on 18 February 2016, shortly to be followed by a commercial launch in the first ½ of 2016. The Directors believe Feraccru has an achievable global peak annual sales opportunity in excess of £500 million.
