Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals Ltd

Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals Ltd is a global specialty biotechnology company dedicated to the development and commercialization of innovative treatments for rare and severe medical conditions. The company focuses particularly on disorders related to light exposure, genetic, metabolic, and systemic diseases that often have limited treatment options. Its flagship product, SCENESSE (afamelanotide), is the first approved systemic photoprotective therapy, designed to prevent phototoxicity in adult patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP)—a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe pain on light exposure. SCENESSE is available in multiple international markets, including Europe, the United States, and Australia, reflecting Clinuvel’s established global footprint. Beyond its core pharmaceutical products, the company is engaged in developing a broader pipeline that includes treatments for additional patient groups and photoprotective solutions, such as PRENUMBRA and NEURACTHEL, and cosmetic healthcare innovations through its PhotoCosmetics division. Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals Ltd plays a significant role in the healthcare sector, contributing novel therapies that address underserved patient populations while supporting broader advancements in photoprotection and genetic disorder management.
