CUSIP No. 80862K104

This Amendment No. 1 relates to the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2008, by Paolo Cavazza, Claudio Cavazza, Sigma-Tau Finanziaria S.p.A. (“Sigma-Tau”), Defiante Farmaceutica S.A. (“Defiante”), Aptafin S.p.A. (“Aptafin”) and Chaumiere-Consultadoria e Servicos, Sociedade Unipessoal, LdA (“Chaumiere”) (Chaumiere, together with Aptafin, Defiante, Sigma-Tau, Claudio Cavazza and Paolo Cavazza, are the “Reporting Persons”) relating to the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On December 31, 2008, Defiante, on behalf of itself and the other Reporting Persons, in compliance with the bylaws of the Issuer, submitted a formal notice and nomination of four individuals (the “Nominees”) to the Issuer's Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Issuer's 2009 annual meeting of stockholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof or any special meeting held in lieu thereof ). The Reporting Persons currently intend to conduct a proxy solicitation seeking to elect these individuals to the Board. Defiante submitted such notice, and intends to conduct such proxy solicitation, because the Reporting Persons believe that the Board of Directors and management of the Issuer, by their actions and inactions, have caused the stockholders of the Issuer to have suffered a significant decrease in the value of their investment in the Issuer, have caused the Issuer to incur substantial operating losses, have not properly managed the conduct of critical clinical trials, and have allowed the operating expenses of the Issuer to have increased excessively. The Nominees are Messers. Roberto Camerini, Trevor Mervyn Jones, Gregg Lapointe, and Alberto Mantovani.

Except as set forth herein or as would occur upon completion of any of the actions described herein, the Reporting Persons have no definite plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any transaction, change or event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The adoption of any plan or proposal relating to a transaction, change or event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D will depend upon overall market and industry conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, the Issuer's financial position and investment strategy, and the availability of the Issuer's shares at prices that would make the acquisition of additional shares desirable.

The Reporting Persons may take such action with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, having discussions with other stockholders and other relevant parties, and engaging in discussions with and making suggestions to the Board and the management of the Issuer, concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, business, operations, strategy, future plans, management, Board composition or governance of the Issuer.

Corporate Secretary

SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

950 Tower Lane, Suite 900

Dear Secretary,

Notice and Nomination

This notice by Defiante Farmaceutica S.A. (“Defiante”) of its decision, as a record owner of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to propose the nomination of, and nominate, the individuals identified herein for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment or postponement thereof or any special meeting that may be called in lieu thereof, the “Annual Meeting”) is being delivered in accordance with the requirements (the “Nomination Requirements”) set forth in Section 2.15 of Article II of the Company’s Bylaws (as presently in effect, the “Bylaws”). Please be advised that Defiante intends to nominate at the Annual Meeting, and hereby nominates, Messers. Roberto Camerini, Trevor Mervyn Jones, Gregg Lapointe, and Alberto Mantovani (each a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees”) for election to the Board. Defiante reserves the right to nominate, substitute or add additional persons (a) in the event that the Company or the Board purports to increase the number of directorships on the Board so that we are able to nominate a director candidate for each additional directorship purportedly created, (b) if the Company announces or purports to make any changes to its Bylaws or announces or purports to take any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying any of the Nominees or any additional nominee nominated pursuant to the preceding clause (a) and/or (c) in the event any of the Nominees is unable, or hereafter becomes unwilling, for any reason to serve as a director. Additional nominations made pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) and/or (b) are without prejudice to Defiante’s position that any attempt to increase the size of the Board or disqualify any Nominee through amendments to the Bylaws constitutes unlawful manipulation of the Company’s corporate machinery and that the Bylaws fix the size of the Board at seven members.

Pursuant to the Nomination Requirements, Defiante (i) has set forth above its name and address, (ii) represents that it is a record holder of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote for the election of directors on the date hereof and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the Nominees as directors of the Company, (iii) has set forth below a description of all arrangements or understandings

between it and each Nominee and any other person or persons pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by Defiante, (iv) has set forth on Appendix I the address of each Nominee and such other information regarding each Nominee as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission had the Nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board, and (v) has attached hereto the consent of each of the Nominees to be named in a proxy statement and to serve as a director if so elected as Exhibits A-D, and such consents are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, Defiante has determined, based on information provided to it by each Nominee, that each Nominee satisfies the director independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Furthermore, each of the nominees has provided, under separate cover on the date hereof, a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire containing information regarding the Nominees, and each Nominee will timely complete any such additional directors’ and officers’ questionnaire as reasonably requested by the Company.

Arrangements or Understandings

As set forth in a Schedule 13D filed on December 16, 2008, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Defiante, Paolo Cavazza, Claudio Cavazza, Sigma-Tau Finanziaria S.p.A. (“Sigma-Tau”), Aptafin S.p.A. (“Aptafin”) and Chaumiere-Consultadoria e Servicos, Sociedade Unipessoal, LdA (“Chaumiere”) (each of Chaumiere, Aptafin, Defiante, Sigma-Tau, Claudio Cavazza and Paolo Cavazza, a “Sigma-Tau Party” and, collectively, the “Sigma-Tau Parties”), Paolo Cavazza directly and indirectly owns 38% of Sigma-Tau. Claudio Cavazza directly and indirectly owns 57% of Sigma-Tau. Defiante is 58% directly owned by Sigma-Tau and 42% directly owned by Sigma-Tau’s wholly-owned subsidiary Sigma Tau International S.A. Aptafin is 100% directly and indirectly owned by Paolo Cavazza. Chaumiere is 100% indirectly owned by Aptafin through its wholly-owned subsidiary SINAF S.A. The Sigma-Tau Parties originally acquired the 9,853,261 shares of the Company’s common stock to make an equity investment in the Company. The Sigma-Tau Parties were considering the possibility of increasing their equity investment in the Company if arrangements for such an increase could be made with the approval of the Board. On December 11, 2008 representatives of the Sigma-Tau Parties met with representatives of the Company to discuss steps the Company might take to increase shareholder value. The representatives of the Sigma-Tau Parties also presented the possibility of the Sigma-Tau Parties making an additional equity investment in the Company in cooperation with the Board and having designees of the Sigma-Tau Parties added to the Board. No agreement or understanding was reached regarding either of these matters. Thereafter the Sigma-Tau Parties decided to propose the Nominees and jointly agreed to have Defiante, as the Sigma-Tau Party with the greatest number of shares of Company common stock held of record, nominate the Nominees.

Each of the Nominees other than Dr. Mantovani has current business relationships with one or more of the Sigma-Tau Parties. Dr. Camerini is an employee of Sigma-Tau

Industrie Farmaceutiche Riunite S.p.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sigma-Tau. Dr. Jones is a Director and consultant of Sigma-Tau. Mr. Lapointe is the Chief Executive Officer of Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Sigma-Tau.

The information included herein represents the best knowledge of Defiante as of the date hereof. Defiante reserves the right, in the event such information shall be or become inaccurate, to provide corrective information to the Company, although Defiante does not commit to update any information which may change from and after the date hereof.

If this notice shall be deemed for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction to be ineffective with respect to the nomination of the Nominees at the annual meeting, or if any individual Nominee shall be unable to serve for any reason, this notice shall continue to be effective with respect to any replacement nominee who Defiante may select.

Defiante reserves the right to give further notice of additional nominations or business to be conducted at the annual meeting or any other meeting of the Company’s stockholders.

Lastly, Defiante hereby requests written notification from the Company of the following no later than Friday, January 2, 2009:

· Confirmation that the size of the Board is currently fixed at a total of 7 directorships, and that there are currently no vacancies on the Board;

· Confirmation that the Bylaws have not been amended since December 17, 2007; and

· Either confirmation that this letter complies with the notice requirements of Section 2.15 of the Bylaws respecting advance notice of nominations of directors by record stockholders or identification of any alleged defects in this letter that lead the Company to conclude that such notification requirements have not been complied with.

Please direct any questions regarding the information contained in this notice to Howard Shecter, Esq., Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10103, (212) 506-5155 (Telephone), (212) 506-5151 (Facsimile).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this notice to be duly executed on the date first above written.
