The recent failure of Pfizer/Medivation’s Dimebon in the Phase III CONNECTION clinical trial raises questions about the drug’s efficacy in Alzheimer’s disease and about its future market potential. Dimebon, a mitochondrial function modulator that many experts had considered a promising candidate as a symptomatic therapy for Alzheimer’s disease, has been in late stage development for mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s disease. Dimebon was expected to be a formidable player in the Alzheimer’s disease drug market if it succeeded in Phase III clinical trials. As a result of Dimebon’s failure in the CONNECTION trial, Decision Resources will update its Pharmacor Alzheimer’s Disease advisory service.
Following the recent news regarding Dimebon, Decision Resources surveyed U.S. thought leaders and, combined with our own analysis, results from this survey will be discussed in this presentation.
This 15-minute analyst call, presented by Analyst Matthew Winton, Ph.D., will answer the following questions:
- What impact will Dimebon’s failure in the CONNECTION trial have on its commercial potential?
- How will this news affect the uptake of currently available Alzheimer’s disease therapies?
- How will Dimebon’s failure in the CONNECTION trial impact the uptake of emerging biologic therapies such as Johnson & Johnson/Pfizer’s bapineuzumab?
- What will the future Alzheimer’s disease market look like as a result of the shifting dynamics between the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, NMDA receptor antagonists, and emerging drug classes?
Dr. Winton will conduct a live Q & A session after the presentation.
