Profile

Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc.IRWDHealth Care

Builds its business around LINZESS, a prescription treatment for IBS-C and CIC, and a partner-led commercialization model. Develops apraglutide for adults with short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure.

Commercializes LINZESS, its in-house-discovered linaclotide product for adults with IBS-C and CIC. AbbVie leads commercialization in the United States, while AstraZeneca covers China and Astellas covers Japan.

Develops apraglutide, a long-acting synthetic GLP-2 analogue, for adults with short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure. Access to the program is limited to clinical trials as the STARS program continues.

Operates as a single human-therapeutics segment with one mature commercial franchise and a rare-disease pipeline expansion. The model depends on the LINZESS collaboration's shared sales and cost structure and on confirmatory clinical and regulatory progress for apraglutide.

Ownership

Institutions 99.55%Insiders 10.10%

Institutions and insiders are filed separately and overlap, so together they can pass the whole company. No split is drawn from them.

Shares outstanding 164.61M · Float

Float — provider float is below the insider stake.

A Form 4 total here can count shares the filer formally disclaims — an award voted by proxy, for instance — which the holder's own Schedule 13D/G excludes, so where the two disagree the schedule's smaller figure is used.

The provider's float is smaller than the insider stake it should exclude, so it is not shown.
