- Friday, November 2, 2012, 12:52 PM Cerium Pharmaceuticals Synacthen, a treatment for infantile spasms, is no threat to Questcor's (QCOR -7.3%) Acthar for a number of reasons, says PropThink's David Moskowitz. First, the drug is known to contain benzyl alcohol which has been implicated in infant toxicity, and FDA approval for a product containing this ingredient in infants is highly unlikely. Second, QCOR's Acthar Gel already has Orphan Drug status with an exclusivity for infantile spasms that doesn't expire until 2017. Lastly, infantile spasms represent only a small fraction of Acthar sales, so it would have minimal impact. 1 Comment [Healthcare, On the Move]
- Friday, November 2, 2012, 12:39 PM Questcor's (QCOR -7.3%) early drubbing was apparently due to a mistaken headline stating that a synthetic version of Acthar had been approved by the FDA, rather than the Orphan Drug Designation it had actually been given, according to a Seeking Alpha contributor. The errant headline has since been pulled and refiled to reflect the correction, but the hangover in the shares continues in mid-day trading nontheless. 6 Comments [Healthcare, On the Move]
- Friday, November 2, 2012, 12:04 PM Questcor Pharmaceuticals (QCOR -7.3%) takes a hit today on reports that Cerium Pharmaceuticals has been granted an FDA orphan drug designation for Synacthen Depot, a synthetic equivalent of Acthar. 21 Comments [Healthcare, On the Move]

- Friday, October 19, 2012, 1:44 PM Insurers are taking an even more cautious stance on Questcor's (QCOR -4.1%) Acthar, according to a Citron Research report. The short seller is now claiming that Humana (HUM -1.5%) has issued a new Commercial Preauthorization document containing a new, specifically asterisked preauthorization for reimbursement for Acthar, which it contends is part of a pattern of insurers taking a more restrictive stance on authorization policy with regard to the drug's reimbursement. 40 Comments [Healthcare, On the Move]

- Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 1:28 PM Heavily-shorted Questcor (QCOR +6.1%) surges after receiving more positive sell-side commentary (previous), this time from Jefferies, which is upgrading shares to Buy. Analyst Biren Amin believes investors are pricing Questcor as if almost no insurers will provide coverage for its Acthar gel for treating nephrotic syndrome or MS, something he considers unrealistic. 1 Comment [Healthcare, On the Move, Quick Ideas]

SunTrust argues the update should reassure investors Acthar has value in treating nephrology and MS, while Lazard claims it's a positive given investor fears following Aetna's move to limit coverage. 40.3% of Questcor's float was shorted as of Sep. 14. 1 Comment [Healthcare, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
