Company news
Eli Lilly and Co.’s osteoporosis drug Forteo was used in the first successful human trial of an implantable device that delivers injectable drugs—showing promise for eliminating the need for regular shots. Massachusetts-based MicroCHIPS Inc. implanted wirelessly controlled drug-delivery devices in women with osteoporosis. The devices delivered daily doses of Forteo into the women’s bloodstreams. The device could be helpful for Lilly and its peers, who are trying to develop more biotech drugs like Forteo. Such drugs are typically made up of large proteins, which cannot be reduced to pill form and must instead be injected. Many patients resist taking injectable drugs and many do not fully comply with their prescribed regimens.
A Cicero-based developer plans to build a $15.7 million senior health care center at 16th Street and Arlington Avenue on Indianapolis’ east side. The city’s Metropolitan Development Commission approved the project Wednesday after accepting Mainstreet Property Group LLC’s offer to purchase the property for $912,500. Mainstreet plans to begin construction in July and finish by June 2013. The facility would include 100 beds for skilled care, short-term rehabilitation and assisted-living patients. The facility is expected to create up to 150 jobs, said Zeke Turner, Mainstreet’s CEO. Overall, the company owns or co-owns 13 senior health care centers in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, and has six more under development. It plans to break ground on as many as 12 centers by the end of the year, including a $13.3 million facility in Westfield, Turner said.

Company news
Eli Lilly and Co. will freeze base pay for most of its 38,000 workers this year, as the October 2011 patent expiration on its former best-seller Zyprexa has hammered finances. Lilly already eliminated 5,500 jobs in preparation for the generic competition to Zyprexa, an antipsychotic pill. But the pay freeze is the company’s next move to try to weather the storm caused by a string of patent expirations on five of its best-selling drugs, including the looming loss of its new best-seller, the antidepressant Cymbalta, at the end of 2013. The pay freeze also applies to top executives, Lilly disclosed in its preliminary proxy statement, filed Feb. 3. Overall compensation for Lilly’s top five executives fell slightly in 2011, the company disclosed. CEO John Lechleiter earned a salary of $1.5 million, unchanged from 2010, and total compensation of $16.4 million, down slightly from the previous year. Lechleiter has resisted buying another large company to mask Lilly’s looming sales loss, instead betting on the company’s research team to deliver new blockbusters. Also, Lilly has made several smaller acquisitions, and is currently rumored to be vying with five other rivals to acquire the Turkish drugmaker Mustafa Nevzat Ilac Sanayii.
Indianapolis-based Home Health Depot Inc. has acquired a majority stake in Iowa-based Advanced Rehab Technologies LLC, a provider of rehabilitation equipment.

Home Health Depot had 2010 revenue of $13.8 million, according to IBJ research, ranking it the fifth-fastest-growing private company in the Indianapolis area. Home Health Depot also ranked last year as No. 736 on Inc. magazine’s list of the nation’s fastest growing companies.
Warsaw-based Symmetry Medical Inc.’s former CEO will return $450,000 in pay and stock proceeds to resolve U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission claims that he profited from accounting fraud by a United Kingdom unit, according to Bloomberg News. Brian S. Moore received the compensation based on financial results that were inflated by a scheme in which employees inflated financial results in 2005 and 2006 at Symmetry’s Thornton Precision Components Ltd. subsidiary, the SEC said in a complaint filed Jan. 30 in federal court in South Bend. The agency also settled claims against Symmetry Chief Financial Officer Fred L. Hite, who will pay $210,000. “It is important to emphasize that the SEC did not accuse Mr. Moore of any wrongdoing,” Russell G. Ryan, an attorney for Moore at King & Spaulding LLP, said in an e-mail statement. “He is glad to have put the matter behind him.”

After 15 years of increasing yelps from primary care doctors, WellPoint Inc. is finally launching a plan to pay more for the family doctor’s time. The Indianapolis-based health insurer said Jan. 27 that it will increase the fees it pays to primary care specialists and even start paying for such services as crafting care plans for patients with complex medical problems. It also will offer doctors an opportunity to share in some savings when better patient care leads to a reduction in costs. An example of what WellPoint has is mind is paying doctors to take the time to coach overweight patients who have diabetes to develop an exercise plan and then making sure they stay on it. "It makes the physician the kind of physician their patient wants them to be," Jill Hummel, WellPoint's vice president of payment innovation, told the Associated Press. WellPoint reasons that by spending more at the primary care level, it can cut down on emergency room visits and hospital admissions—which are the most expensive types of care. Primary care doctors say low reimbursement rates force them to cram as many patient visits as possible into a typical day in order to make enough money to stay afloat. That keeps them from spending more than a few minutes with each patient. For a time, physicians made extra money by starting their own imaging and diagnostic centers. But health plans—both governmental and private—sharply curtailed payments to physician-owned facilities, sharply curtailing that source of revenue.
The third time’s a charm. California-based Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Massachuetts-based Alkermes Inc. succeeded in their third attempt to gain U.S. clearance for Bydureon, a once-weekly version of Amylin’s Byetta diabetes shot. The companies had been developing Bydureon with Eli Lilly and Co. until November. But Indianapolis-based Lilly broke off its partnership with Amylin after the two companies feuded over Lilly’s agreement to sell a competing diabetes medicine with Germany-baseed Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH. Amylin also agreed to make a one-time payment of $250 million to Lilly and to pay as much as $1.2 billion in royalties based on future sales of Bydureon and Byetta. In the meantime, Lilly is working to develop its own version of Bydureon, which is called dulaglutide. In 2010, Byetta produced revenue of about $700 million for the two companies, but its market share had been dented significantly by a once-daily version of the medicine, called Victoza, which was launched in 2010 by Denmark-based Novo Nordisk A/S.
