More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
QLT's drugs respond to a light touch. The company focuses on pharmaceuticals that are activated when exposed to light. Visudyne, developed and marketed with Novartis Ophthalmics (once part of Novartis' CIBA Vision), fights a type of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness. QLT's share of Visudyne sales accounts for about 75% of its revenues. The firm hopes to expand the drug's indications for other types of AMD, as well as for skin cancer and renarrowing of coronary arteries after angioplasty (restenosis, with partner Medtronic). It is developing photodynamic immunotherapy drugs with Corixa. QLT sold PHOTOFRIN, a cancer treatment it developed, to Canada's Axcan Pharma.
