For Ulcerative Colitis, Surveyed Experts Indicate That Corticosteroids Have Advantages Over Remicade in the Induction of Remission
Date:4/16/2009

Abbott/Eisai's Humira Will Earn Decision Resources' Clinical Gold Standard Status for Ulcerative Colitis in 2012, According to a New Report from Decision Resources

WALTHAM, Mass., April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Decision Resources, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms for pharmaceutical and healthcare issues, finds that surveyed gastroenterologists identify a therapy's effect on induction of remission as the attribute that most influences their prescribing decisions in moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Clinical data and the opinions of interviewed thought leaders indicate that corticosteroids have advantages in this attribute over Centocor/Schering-Plough/Mitsubishi Tanabe's Remicade (infliximab), the sales-leading agent in the market.

The new report entitled Ulcerative Colitis: Opportunity Awaits Therapies That Treat Moderate to Severe Disease More Effectively Than Infliximab finds that a drug that maintains remission in a higher percentage of patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis than infliximab at one year would earn a 30 percent patient share in the United States and a 15 percent patient share in Europe, according to surveyed U.S. and European gastroenterologists.

In 2008, Decision Resources' proprietary clinical gold standard for ulcerative colitis was prednisone. Based on available data and expert opinion, Abbott/Eisai's Humira (adalimumab) will earn gold-standard status for ulcerative colitis in 2012, following its approval for the indication in 2011. Interviewed experts believe that adalimumab has potential to be superior in maintenance of remission when compared to infliximab.

"Although clinical trial data are limited, interviewed experts believe that adalimumab will be more effective than infliximab in the maintenance setting and that it offers superior safety and tolerability when compared with other drugs in the market, including infliximab,
