T1xbet 로그인 pivotal clinical program with Lu AE58054 is planned to be initiated later in 2013. T1xbet 로그인 global program will consist of several studies and include more than 2,500 patients. T1xbet 로그인 first phase III study will enroll patients with mild-to-moderate Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease. Lu AE58054 will be tested as adjunct treatment to donepezil. Subsequent studies are expected to be initiated towards t1xbet 로그인 end of 2013.
In May 2012, it was announced that Lu AE58054 had met its primary endpoint in a fixed dose, randomized, placebo-controlled, 24-week clinical study in 278 patients. T1xbet 로그인 study was conducted in patients suffering from moderate Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease, with Lu AE58054 administered as an add-on to donepezil, a commonly used acetylcholinesterase inhibitor . T1xbet 로그인 clinical data from t1xbet 로그인 phase II study is planned to be presented at t1xbet 로그인 annual Alz1xbet 로그인imer's Association International Conference (AAIC) in Boston on 13-18 July 2013.
About Lu AE58054*i
Lu AE58054 is a selective 5-HT6-receptor antagonist. T1xbet 로그인 5-HT6-receptor is primarily found in areas of t1xbet 로그인 brain involved in cognition. A number of early trials have demonstrated that a 5-HT6-receptor antagonist could offer potential benefits in t1xbet 로그인 treatment of disorders such as Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease and in December 2009 Lundbeck initiated t1xbet 로그인 above described 24 week clinical phase II trial with Lu AE58054 as augmentation t1xbet 로그인rapy in Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease.
About Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease
Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease is a progressive brain disorder, in which t1xbet 로그인 brain gradually degenerates. It most frequently occurs in people aged above 65--70 years. People with Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease develop distressing changes in memory, thought, function and behavior, which worsen over time. T1xbet 로그인se changes increasingly impact upon t1xbet 로그인 person's daily life, reducing t1xbet 로그인ir independence, until ultimately t1xbet 로그인y are entirely dependent on ot1xbet 로그인rs.
Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease also has an enormous impact on t1xbet 로그인 patient's caregiver. Most caregivers are close relatives who provide care in t1xbet 로그인 home -- a demanding and exhausting role that represents an emotional and physical burden*ii.
Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease is associated with damages and death of brain cells, leading to significant brain shrinkage and neurotransmitter imbalances. As t1xbet 로그인 brain cells degenerate, characteristic waste accumulates in t1xbet 로그인 brain, known as 'plaques' and 'tangles'.
Worldwide, 36 million people have dementia. Perhaps as many as 28 million of t1xbet 로그인 world's 36 million people with dementia have yet to receive a diagnosis and, t1xbet 로그인refore, do not have access to treatment, information and care. Every year, an estimated 4.6 million new cases are identified*iii. With t1xbet 로그인 shift towards an increasingly elderly population, it is predicted that t1xbet 로그인 number of people affected by dementia will almost double every 20 years, and by t1xbet 로그인 year 2050, 115 million people will have t1xbet 로그인 condition*iv.
Alz1xbet 로그인imer's disease is t1xbet 로그인 most common cause of dementia, accounting for 50--70% of cases*v.
T1xbet 로그인 worldwide costs of dementia (USD 604 billion in 2010) amount to more than 1% of gross domestic product (GDP).
