Find Data about a New Drug Using the Drug Name?

TOPIC: There are many ways to monitor new drugs in development. You can use the therapeutic class (Find data about new drugs in development by therapeutic class), by a specific phase of development (Find a drug in a specific phase of development anywhere in the world) and by drug name. Two drug pipeline databases: Adis R&D Insight (File 107) and IMS R&D Focus (File 445) contain unique information about a drug. For example, File 107 has a commercial summary of expected sales produced by Lehman Brothers, and File 445 contains product profile records and newsletter entries.

In this example, you will use the drug name Solulin, a drug for treating stroke, currently in clinical trials to find more data about the drug.

COMMAND SUMMARY

BEGIN 445
SELECT SOLULIN/NA
SELECT S1/PROFILE
TYPE S2/9/1

HOW TO...

1. BEGIN File 445, a database containing information about drugs in the pipeline. 2. SELECT the drug name (/NA) and limit to the drug profile (/profile). 3. TYPE the complete record using Format 9.
The Profile record contains brand name, company and licensing information, drug data including therapeutic class code and clinical indications.
The latest information about the drug is listed, as well as the current development phase and country.
A commercial summary including estimates of sales.
A patent summary lists the patent number, publication date and claim.
