Late-Stage Pipeline Developments and Business Development Activity
Our long-term success depends, to a great extent, on our ability to continue to discover and develop innovative pharmaceutical products and acquire or collaborate on compounds currently in development by other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. We currently have over 60 potential new drugs in human testing. A number of late-stage pipeline developments and business development transactions occurred within the past year, including:
 
Pipeline
 
  •  The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an expanded indication for Byetta as a standalone medication (monotherapy) along with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
 
  •  The FDA approved Zyprexa Relprevv for extended release injectable suspension for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. We also launched this product under the tradename Zypadhera in several countries within the European Union.
 
  •  We announced initial results from a Phase III clinical trial for arzoxifene. After reviewing the overall clinical profile of arzoxifene in light of currently available treatments, including our own osteoporosis products, we decided not to submit the compound for regulatory review.
 
  •  The FDA approved a new use for Forteo to treat osteoporosis associated with sustained, systemic glucocorticoid therapy in men and women at high risk of fracture.
 
  •  We and our partner BioMS discontinued Phase III clinical trials for dirucotide in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Data showed that dirucotide did not meet the primary endpoint of delaying disease progression and there were no statistically significant differences between dirucotide and placebo on the secondary endpoints of the study.
 
  •  The FDA approved Effient tablets for the reduction of thrombotic cardiovascular events (including stent thrombosis) in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) who are managed with an artery-opening procedure known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We and our partner, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc., launched Effient in the U.S. in August. The European Commission granted marketing authorization for Efient® for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with ACS undergoing PCI.
 
  •  The FDA approved Alimta as a maintenance therapy for locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), specifically for patients with a nonsquamous histology whose disease has not progressed after four cycles of platinum-based first-line chemotherapy.
 
  •  The European Commission granted approval for the use of Alimta as monotherapy for maintenance treatment of patients with other than predominantly squamous cell histology in locally-advanced or

  metastatic NSCLC, whose disease has not progressed immediately following platinum-based chemotherapy.
 
  •  Alimta received regulatory approval in Japan as both a first- and second-line treatment of NSCLC.
 
  •  We and our partners Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Amylin) and Alkermes, Inc., submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for exenatide once weekly. Exenatide once weekly is an investigational sustained release medication for type 2 diabetes that is injected subcutaneously and administered only once a week.
 
  •  We began enrolling patients in two separate but identical Phase III clinical trials of solanezumab, an anti-amyloid beta monoclonal antibody being investigated as a potential treatment to delay the progression of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The trials each include a treatment period that lasts 18 months and are expected to enroll a total of 2,000 patients age 55 and over from 16 countries.
 
  •  The FDA approved two new combination indications for Zyprexa (olanzapine) and fluoxetine for the acute treatment of bipolar depression and TRD in adults.
 
  •  We received a complete response letter from the FDA for the first-line squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Erbitux.
