As of March 31, 2015, the Company has capitalized $14.1 million of inventory costs related to ORKAMBI, the brand name under which the Company expects to market lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor, manufactured in preparation for the potential product launch of ORKAMBI in mid-2015 based on its evaluation of, among other factors, information regarding the safety and efficacy of ORKAMBI. In periods prior to July 1, 2014, the Company expensed costs associated with such raw materials and work-in-process as a development expense. In November 2014, the Company submitted a New Drug Application ("NDA") to the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and a Marketing Authorization Application ("MAA") to the European Medicines Agency for ORKAMBI. The FDA has granted the Company priority review of the NDA. The FDA has scheduled a Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee meeting for May 12, 2015 to discuss the NDA. The target date for the FDA to complete its review of the NDA for the combination under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act is July 5, 2015. The Company plans to continue to monitor the status of these regulatory processes and the other factors used to determine whether or not to capitalize the inventory and, if there are significant negative developments regarding ORKAMBI, the Company could be required to impair previously capitalized costs.
