There is a large body of published scientific data on the clinical effectiveness of the four drugs available for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. These drugs have been shown to have significant, measurable and positive effects for people with dementia. In particular, reviews carried out by the Cochrane collaboration confirm this efficacy: For donepezil Aricept ; , the Cochrane review finds that "Clinical efficacy is confirmed" For galantamine Reeminyl ; , the Cochrane review "shows consistent positive effects for galantamine" . For rivastigmine Exelon ; , the Cochrane review states that it "appears to be beneficial for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease" . For memantine Ebixa ; , the Cochrane review concludes that "there is a beneficial effect [.] for patients with [.] Alzheimer's disease". Existing guidelines of some professional organisations, such as the American Academy of Neurology therefore recommend that "Cholinesterase inhibitors should be considered in patients with mild to moderate AD" as a standard in its practice guideline.

"Nice says these drugs aren't cost effective but many of the costs, including the human cost of stress, anxiety and depression, are being ignored. This is likely to lead to an increase in the number of people needing long term care at an earlier stage of the disease and that cost will far outweigh the 2.50 a day for an anti-dementia drug." NOTES The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence NICE ; recommends three anti-cholinesterase drugs Aricept, Exelon, Rrminyl ; only be funded for people in the moderate stages. Ebixa will not be funded. The decision contradicts current government policy in improving access to care and commitments to improve older people's mental health services. NICE has received the biggest ever response to a consultation with over 9000 people writing to protest. NICE has refused to listen. The only alternative to treat distressing behavioural symptoms in late dementia is unlicensed neuroleptics. These are dangerous sedatives that increase the chance of heart disease and stroke. NICE guidance applies to England and Wales. People currently on the drug treatments will continue to receive them. There are approximately 381, 920 people have Alzheimer's disease in England and Wales. Approximately 72, 565 people would be in the mild stages of dementia and 309, 355 people are in the moderate to severe stages. Dementia affects one in 20 people over the age of 65 and one in five over the age of 80.

NAME OF FINISHED PRODUCT: RAZADYNE REMINYL NAME OF ACTIVE INGREDIENT S ; : Galantamine HBr R113675 ; SUMMARY - CONCLUSIONS EFFICACY RESULTS: The total PANSS score change from baseline to Week 8 results show no statistical significance for any of the galantamine groups 8-, 16-, or 24-mg ; compared with placebo based on treatment comparison at the nominal 5% level p 0.760, p 0.433, and p 0.983, respectively ; . The total BACS score change from baseline to Week 8 results show no statistical significance for any galantamine group 8-, 16-, or 24-mg ; compared with placebo based on treatment comparison at the nominal 5% level p 0.282, p 0.131, and p 0.887, respectively ; . The CGI-S score change from baseline to Week 8 results show no statistical significance for any galantamine group 8-, 16-, or 24-mg ; compared with placebo based on treatment comparison at the nominal 5% level p 0.259, p 0.998, and p 0.722, respectively ; . SAFETY RESULTS: The incidence of subjects with at least 1 treatment-emergent adverse event was 60% in the placebo group and 64% in the combined galantamine group 8-mg, 50%; 16-mg, and 24-mg, 68% ; . The most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse event in galantamine subjects was psychosis, which occurred at a similar incidence in the galantamine combined, 9%; 8-mg, 10%; and 24-mg, 9% ; and placebo 7% ; groups. Most treatment-emergent adverse events reported were mild or moderate in severity. No deaths were reported during study treatment or within 30 days of the last dose of study drug. The incidence of subjects with at least 1 treatment-emergent serious adverse event was 9% in the combined galantamine group 8-mg, 10%; 16-mg, and 24-mg, 3% ; compared with 10% in the placebo group. The only treatment-emergent serious adverse events that occurred in 2 or more subjects overall or in any group were psychosis placebo, 2 [7%]; 8-mg, 1 [10%]; 16-mg, 3 [10%]; and 24-mg, 0 subjects ; and suicide attempt placebo, 0; 8-mg, 0; 16-mg, 2 [7%]; and 24-mg, 1 [3%] subjects ; . The incidence of subjects with an adverse event leading to permanent discontinuation of study drug was 10% in the placebo group compared with 16% in the combined galantamine group. A higher incidence of subjects in the 16-mg group 27% ; discontinued treatment because of a treatment-emergent adverse event than in the 8-mg 10% ; or 24-mg 9% ; galantamine groups. The most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse events leading to study drug discontinuation in galantamine subjects were psychiatric disorders 11% ; , which occurred more frequently in the 16-mg galantamine group 20% ; than in the 8-mg 10% ; or 24-mg galantamine 3% ; groups. Psychiatric disorders leading to study drug discontinuation occurred in 3% of placebo subjects. The most frequently reported psychiatric disorder leading to discontinuation in galantamine subjects was psychosis 5% ; . No subjects in the placebo group experienced psychosis leading to discontinuation. There were no clinically relevant changes in physical examination findings, body weight, laboratory test results, ECG, or vital sign parameters. There were no statistically significant differences between any galantamine group and placebo in the change from baseline in SAS, AIMS, or BARS scores. Overall, galantamine appeared to be generally safe and well tolerated in this population of schizophrenic subjects. PHARMACOKINETIC PHARMACODYNAMIC RESULTS: Mean trough plasma galantamine concentrations in this study were similar to those seen in elderly subjects and healthy volunteers. Although trough plasma galantamine concentrations appeared to increase in a dose-proportional manner, the overall incidence of adverse events was not affected. Small sample sizes and wide variability in female subjects preclude any definitive conclusions; overall, the data suggest that galantamine had little effect on dopamine-prolactin release or inhibition within the hypothalamic-adenohypophyseal axis. Cotinine levels increased for all treatment groups, including placebo during the study, an indication that nicotine exposure during the study did not vary significantly between treatment groups and did not differentially affect the action of galantamine.

Fabry disease is a rare, inherited genetic disorder resulting from a deficiency in the activity of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. This enzyme is involved in the breakdown of fats. Although the signs and symptoms of Fabry disease vary widely from patient to patient, the most common include severe pain of the extremities, impaired kidney function often progressing to full kidney failure, early heart disease, stroke and disabling gastrointestinal symptoms. The disease is estimated to affect 1 in 40, 000 males and is less frequent in females. REPLAGAL is a fully human alpha-galactosidase A protein that replaces the deficient alpha-galactosidase A with an active enzyme to stop or ameliorate the clinical manifestations of Fabry disease. In August 2001, REPLAGAL was granted marketing authorization and co-exclusive orphan drug status in the European Union with up to 10 years market exclusivity. A rival product received orphan drug status in the US in April 2003. As a result, REPLAGAL will be excluded from the United States market for seven years, until April 2010 or until such time as FDA approval is received, if later. Treatments for diseases in the GP area AGRYLIN XAGRID Myeloproliferative disorders MPDs ; , including essential thrombocythemia ET ; and polycythemia vera, are a group of diseases in which one or more blood cell types are overproduced. In the case of platelets, which are involved in the blood clotting process, excess numbers can result in abnormal blood clot formation giving rise to events such as heart attack and stroke. Excessive platelet production can also lead to the formation of abnormal platelets, which may not be as effective in the clotting process. This can lead to events such as gastrointestinal bleeding. Anagrelide hydrochloride is marketed in the US under the trade name AGRYLIN ; for the treatment of thrombocythemia secondary to a MPD. AGRYLIN's pediatric marketing exclusivity expired in September 2004 in the US. On April 18, 2005 the FDA rejected the Company's Citizen Petition requesting that any generic anagrelide product should have more rigorous bio-equivalence testing to ensure the safety and efficacy of the product. The FDA subsequently approved several generic versions of AGRYLIN, which, as expected, adversely affected the Company's sales of this product in North America in 2005. Sales of AGRYLIN in North America were down 61% on 2004 sales. In Europe anagrelide hydrochloride is marketed as XAGRID for the reduction of elevated platelet counts in at risk ET patients and was granted orphan drug status in Europe in November 2004, providing it with up to 10 years market exclusivity. FOSRENOL FOSRENOL is a phosphate binder for use in end-stage renal failure patents receiving dialysis. It is estimated that there are around 1.7 million patients worldwide with end-stage renal disease. In this condition the kidneys are unable to regulate the balance of phosphate in the body. If untreated, the resultant retention and elevated blood phosphate levels hyperphosphatemia ; can combine with other biochemical disturbances and result in bone disorders described as renal osteodystrophy. Research also suggests that hyperphosphatemia is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease which accounts for nearly 50% of deaths in dialysis patients. FOSRENOL binds dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract to prevent it from passing through the gut lining and, based upon this mechanism of action, phosphate absorption from the diet is decreased. Formulated as a convenient chewable tablet, FOSRENOL received FDA approval for the 250mg and 500mg dosage strengths in the US in October 2004 and was made available on prescription in the US in January 2005. In November 2005, the Company received FDA approval for the higher dose strengths of 750mg and 1000mg. Marketing approval was first gained in Sweden in March 2004, and further regulatory approvals have been sought in a number of other EU Member States pursuant to the Mutual Recognition Process. Launches began in Europe during 2005. In December 2005, FOSRENOL was launched by the Company in Ireland under its local trade name FOZNOL, and via its distributors as FOSRENOL in Sweden, Denmark and Austria. The Company continues its discussions relating to FOSRENOL with regulatory authorities across Europe and other regions and further launches are expected in European markets over the next few months, subject to obtaining national approvals and concluding pricing and reimbursement negotiations. REMINYL and REMINYL XL REMINYL and REMINYL XL are treatments for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderately severe dementia of the Alzheimer type. It is estimated that approximately 500, 000 people in the UK suffer from Alzheimer's disease, which affects the ability to carry out normal daily activities and affects memory, language and behavior. The disease is progressive, with death usually occurring within eight to ten years following the onset of symptoms. REMINYL and REMINYL XL are marketed by the Company in the UK and Ireland and by Janssen Pharmaceutica 9.

Data from the PBS and RPBS show the number of prescriptions for dementia-specific drugs that were dispensed under the two schemes from 200203 to 200405 Table 7.10 ; . Three dementia-specific anticholinesterases are funded under the PBS RPBS for the treatment of mild to moderately severe Alzheimer's disease: Donepezil Hydrochloride Aricept ; , Galantamine Hydrobromide Reminyl ; and Rivastigmine Hydrogen tartrate Exelon ; . Anticholinesterases, also called cholinesterase inhibitors, are designed to improved cognitive function by increasing levels of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger involved in memory, judgement and other thought processes. Acetylcholine is released by certain brain cells to carry messages to other cells. After a message reaches the receiving cell, various other chemicals, including one called acetylcholinesterase, break acetylcholine down so it can be recycled. Alzheimer's disease damages or destroys cells that produce and use acetylcholine, reducing amounts available to carry messages. A cholinesterase inhibitor slows the breakdown of acetylcholine by blocking the activity of acetylcholinesterase. By maintaining acetylcholine levels, the drug may help compensate for the loss of functioning brain cells Alzheimer's Association USA 2006 ; . The PBS RPBS subsidises the cost of these drugs when prescribed to a person who has had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease confirmed by specialist consultant physician. Subsidy is subject to specified clinical criteria based on the MMSE, Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale, cognitive subscale ADAS-Cog ; and CIBIC scale. PBS data on dementia-specific drugs therefore cover prescriptions for people with dementia in Alzheimer's disease, not other types of dementia, and whose level of cognition falls within a certain range. In 200405, there were 315, 020 prescriptions under the PBS RPBS for the anticholinesterases Donepezil, Galantamine and Rivastigmine. This represents an increase in the number of prescriptions for these drugs from 200203 226, 456 prescriptions ; and 200304 271, 042.

Currently, there are five FDA-approved drugs on the market indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's: tacrine Cognex ; , donepezil Aricept ; , rivastigmine Exelon ; , memantine Namenda ; , and galantamine Reminyl ; . Some insurers require preauthorization for some of the drugs, but at least one drug is covered at standard second tier name-brand copayment. The co-payments and coinsurance amounts that apply to these drugs vary. Current utilization levels and costs of the mandated benefit Section 3 h The data used in this and the following sections are from the 2003 Milliman national claims database, which includes a total of 7.4 million individuals claims from the commercially insured population in the United States. Studies of AD indicate a prevalence rate ranging from 0.018 % to 1% in the population ages 0-64 nationally discussed in the following public health section in detail ; . No California-specific prevalence rates are currently available. Using Milliman data, the overall number of AD cases in the population under 65 years of age covered by private and public insurers in California is estimated at about 2, 000 individuals 0.01% ; out of the total insured population who are subject to this mandate 20, 014, 000 ; . This number translates to an estimated prevalence rate of 0.26% among the insured population ages 45-64, which is within the reported national prevalence rates. An equal rate of AD is assumed for both private and public payers, due to lack of prevalence data for public payers. It is likely that the Medi-Cal program may have a larger number of individuals with AD due to the high rates of disability caused by this disease. About 1, 000 or 0.0054% of the total insured population are estimated to receive FDA-approved drugs for treatment of AD. An additional 700 or 0.0033% also receive these medications but have diagnosis other than AD. Among the population receiving FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of AD, most receive donepezil 53.4% ; . Rivastigmine and galantamine are the second and third most frequently received drugs at 23.0% and 22.8% respectively. Memantine is used by 0.6%, and tacrine by 0.2%. This distribution was based on 2003 data; current utilization may differ, but would not affect the conclusions of this report. The extent to which costs resulting from lack of coverage are shifted to other payers, including both public and private entities. Section 3 f CHBRP estimates no change in availability and subsequent utilization of FDA-approved drugs for treatment of AD, because all California insurers cover at least one such drug on their formularies. There will be no cost shifting among payers due to SB 415. Public demand for coverage Section 3 j The decisions about the inclusion or exclusion of particular services among health insurers is one measure of the public's demand for them. In the case of cholinesterase inhibitors and NMDA receptor antagonists for AD, CHBRP's survey of the seven largest health plans and insurers in the state and additional.

Over the past 25 years, musicians and health professionals alike have taken an increased interest in the study of disorders that affect a performer's ability to play music. Considering the vigorous demands of practicing and performing at an expert level, the constant repetition of precise movements over the course of many years, and the need to earn a living through music, professional musicians are susceptible to a variety of specific occupational injuries. One disorder to which musicians are susceptible is task-specific focal dystonia. Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions and postures. The term focal indicates that only one part of the body is affected. Dystonia can also be classified as segmental, meaning that it affects several adjacent parts of the body, or generalized, meaning that it affects many muscle groups throughout the entire body. The term task-specific indicates that the dystonia occurs only in the context of a specific task, such as playing an instrument. Hand dystonia and embouchure dystonia which affects the mouth, cheeks, jaw, and tongue ; are the types of dystonia most often diagnosed in musicians. Musicians with Dystonia was founded in 2000 by Glen Estrin, a former professional French Horn player, and Steven Frucht, M.D., a neurologist at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in NYC. The group is dedicated to serving the special needs of musicians affected by task-specific focal dystonia, particularly hand and embouchure dystonias. May 7, on the campus of Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, Mr. Tony DemetriCopoulous, J.D., Executive Director of Medical Faculty Health Alliance, will discuss legal issues facing faculty practice plans and other physician legal entities in health care. Dr. Leonard Bielory, from Allergy and Immunology, will speak on allergic rhinitis and sinusitis and docusate.

In the 18 months to June 30th 2002, while the stock performances of Europe's publicly quoted health science companies have taken a battering, the industry has made a number of announcements that confirm the growing maturity and fundamental strength of the sector. Serono, the largest company in the Deloitte &Touche European mediscience universe, has been the industry's trailblazer as it won key approvals both in the US and Europe for its Rebif beta interferon product to be used to treat relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. Getting approval in the US during the first half of 2002 was an important event because it signalled to the market how important the FDA considered Rebif to be in treating US multiple sclerosis patients as it essentially removed the orphan drug market exclusivity that had been enjoyed by Biogen's beta interferon, Avonex and allowed Serono to enter the market almost a year earlier than expected. It also demonstrated that European biotechs would be capable of taking on US biotechs in their own backyard. Shire Pharmaceuticals, the UK speciality pharma company that has been putting more emphasis on the research component of R&D than it has in the past, was on the receiving end of a raft of positive product news. This has gone some way to alleviating the perceived pressure on Adderall sales in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD ; coming from generic competition. During the first half of 2002, Shire received news from the FDA that its NDA for Fosrenol lanthanum carbonate to treat chronic renal failure had been accepted. During 2001, Shire's Reminyl treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease was approved in the US. Other key milestones achieved by European companies during the first half include European approval of Vernalis' Frova frovatriptan as a treatment of acute migraine, this follows the 2001 FDA approval of the.

Areas including, but not limited to, those identified in the May 10, 1995 letter and in the areas of enforcement authority, proficiency testing and quality assurance.5 In accordance with 42 CFR 488.201, et seq., the Commonwealth requested a reconsideration of HCFA's denial of the application for CLIA-exemption. A hearing was scheduled for August 30, 1996 to review each of the grounds for denial identified by HCFA in making its initial determination.
