`
`GSK readies 500 reps for Horizant launch
`April 8, 2011 | By Tracy Staton

`
`Now that they have FDA approval for Horizant in the bag, GlaxoSmithKline and
`Xenoport are working out a sales strategy. And if the companies' statistics hold
`true, there are more than 5 million Americans with symptoms of restless legs
`syndrome, all potential buyers for this new treatment.

`
`There's been plenty of debate about whether restless legs constitute a "real"
`syndrome and whether sufferers really need a drug. To combat those arguments,
`Xenoport has data suggesting the syndrome doesn't just consist of its trademark
`leg twitching and restless sleep, but may be linked to high blood pressure and
`heart disease. And the fact is, sufferers are seeking treatment.
`
`That's where Horizant comes in, beginning July 1, the companies say.
`GlaxoSmithKline will field a sales force of some 500 reps, Xenoport CEO Ron
`Barrett told FierceBiotech. Among their targets: The 60,000 to 70,000 primary care
`doctors and neurologists who now write most of the scrips for restless legs
`treatment.

`
`Xenoport itself has the right to co-market the drug, but the company doesn't plan to
`do so right away, Barrett said. If it does decide to build up its own sales force, it
`would hire 50 to 100 reps to complement GSK's work. As Xconomy points out,
`Xenoport's share of profits varies according to how much it contributes to the
`partnership with GSK.

`I can assure you RLS is a documented medical condition. I have had it since the age of
`12. As I age there have been times it has been so unbearable I have gone for weeks
`on an hour or two of sleep per night. When I was put on mirapex my sleep improved
`100%. The problem is, with time, mirapex becomes less effective.
