Shield Therapeutics is a UK-headquartered commercial-stage speciality pharmaceutical company focused on the commercialisation of Feraccru/Accrufer (oral ferric maltol), approved by the EMA and FDA to treat iron deficiency in adults, with or without anaemia. Shield launched the product in the US in July 2021 as part of its self-commercialisation strategy. However, it signed a US co-commercialisation deal for Accrufer with Viatris in December 2022. The commercialisation of Feraccru in Europe, Australia and New Zealand is managed by distribution partner Norgine, and it has been licensed to ASK Pharm in China, Korea Pharma in South Korea and KYE Pharma in Canada. Prescription volumes grew 76% q-o-q in Q323 to 27,750 with the company on track to meet its full-year target of ~100–130k US prescriptions. In January 2024, Santosh Shanbhag was appointed as the new CFO.
