Horizon Therapeutics plc announced that it expects a short-term disruption in TEPEZZA (teprotumumab-trbw) supply as a result of recent government-mandated COVID-19 vaccine production orders related to Operation Warp Speed that have dramatically restricted capacity available for the production of TEPEZZA at its drug product contract manufacturer, Catalent. Operation Warp Speed, per its authority provided through the Defense Production Act of 1950, recently ordered the prioritization of certain COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing at Catalent, resulting in the cancellation of previously guaranteed and contracted TEPEZZA drug product manufacturing slots in December, which were required to maintain TEPEZZA supply.
Beginning today, Horizon is delaying new patients starting on TEPEZZA. The Company will be communicating with TEPEZZA patients currently on therapy and the physicians who treat them. The Company’s priority will be to resume therapy for those patients as quickly as possible. If patients have additional questions, please contact Horizon Patient Services at 1-833-469-8331.
