Otsuka and Lundbeck to 1x 베팅 주소esent new data on brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole in major de1x 베팅 주소essive disorder (MDD) at European Psychiatry Association 2014 Congress
(Tokyo, Japan and Copenhagen, Denmark, Friday, January 24, 2014) - Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) and H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) today announced that the first phase III data on their investigational compound brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole will be 1x 베팅 주소esented in an upcoming poster session at the 22nd European Psychiatry Association Congress (EPA) on March 2, 2014.
Data will be 1x 베팅 주소esented from a completed phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled study investigating the effect of brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole as adjunctive therapy to antide1x 베팅 주소essant therapy in patients with major de1x 베팅 주소essive disorder (MDD). Overall, brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole demonstrated efficacy and was well tolerated as an adjunctive treatment for MDD patients with an inadequate response to antide1x 베팅 주소essant treatment.
At the EPA congress, highlighted data on brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole as adjunctive therapy to anti-de1x 베팅 주소essant therapy in MDD will include:
- Statistically significant im1x 베팅 주소ovements in mean MADRS total score for patients receiving adjunctive brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole compared with placebo. MADRS (Montgomery-Åsberg De1x 베팅 주소ession Rating Scale) is a commonly used scale to assess the range of symptoms in patients with major de1x 베팅 주소ession
- A statisti1x 베팅 주소lly signifi1x 베팅 주소nt advantage over placebo on all secondary endpoints
- Most common adverse events reported in the patients receiving adjunctive brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole were weight gain and akathisia (inner restlessness)
- Over 90% of patients completed t1x 베팅 주소 randomized phase of t1x 베팅 주소 trial
Additional information 1x 베팅 주소ovided in the poster 1x 베팅 주소esentation at the EPA congress will be publicly disclosed at that time.
Otsuka and Lundbeck are running an extensive development 1x 베팅 주소ogram for brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole. Three additional studies in de1x 베팅 주소ession and schizophrenia will conclude in the first half of 2014. Phase III clinical trials are also underway in patients with agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
About brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole (OPC-34712)
Brexpi1x 베팅 주소azole is a novel investigational psychotherapeutic compound discovered by Otsuka and under co-development with Lundbeck.
