Announcements for newly approved specialty drugs often state that the product will be available through specialty pharmacy in limited distribution. However, the early press releases rarely specify the specialty pharmacy(ies) selected as the designated partner(s).
Here are four LD deals that have been publicly confirmed subsequent to their approvals.

Onco360 has been selected as a national pharmacy partner by Alexion Pharmaceuticals for Voydeya (danicopan) as a first class oral, Factor D inhibitor for the treatment of adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) in combination with C5 inhibitor, Ultomiris (ravulizumab) or Soliris (eculizumab) for patients that experience clinically significant extravascular hemolysis (EVH).1 Voydeya® is an oral, Factor D inhibitor that acts in the alternative complement pathway of the immune system, providing control of red blood cell destruction within and outside the blood vessels.
