Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Research Report

On June 20, 2013, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (Bristol-Myers Squibb) and Otsuka America Pharmaceutical announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an update to the product labeling of Sprycel (dasatinib). According to Bristol-Myers Squibb, the labeling now includes three-year efficacy and safety data in patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP), and five-year data in CP PH+ CML patients who are resistant or intolerant to Gleevec (imatinib mesylate). Information added to the label of Sprycel in the first-line CP Ph+ CML setting is based on three-year data from DASISION (Dasatinib versus Imatinib Study in Treatment-Naïve CML Patients). In the study, Sprycel showed superior efficacy as defined by higher molecular (major molecular responseor MMR) and confirmed cytogenetic response rates (CCyR³) by 12 months, compared to imatinib. Greg Stephens, Executive Director, National CML Society, said, "As patients continue to benefit from these treatments, understanding their safety and effectiveness over time becomes increasingly important and may help inform the decisions of healthcare providers as to which therapy they choose."

Celgene Corporation Research Report

On June 17, 2013, Celgene International Sárl, a wholly owned subsidiary of Celgene Corporation (Celgene), announced that the European Commission (EC) has amended the marketing authorization for REVLIMID. With this amendment, REVLIMID has earned the approval to treat patients with transfusion-dependent anemia due to lower or intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) associated with an isolate deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality, when other therapeutic options are insufficient or inadequate. Dr. Aristotles Giagounidis, of the Marien Hospital in Dusseldorf, Germany, said, "Transfusion dependent MDS patients, with an isolated 5q deletion, have had few effective therapy options historically, but the European Commission decision now brings new hope for these people, with an effective and targeted treatment option. The standard of care for MDS has historically been red blood cell transfusions, which can help control the disease but pose a tremendous burden to patients - particularly the elderly, who make up the majority of MDS patients - as well as to health care providers and health systems." The Company said that REVLIMID will be launched by each EU country according to its local requirements.
