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.

A commercial summary including estimates of sales

COMMERCIAL SUMMARY:
  PAION is developing SOLULIN, Schering AG's recombinant peptide version of the  membrane  protein  thrombomodulin,  as  a  treatment for stroke, acute neuronal  damage  such  as  spinal cord injury, and thrombosis. Preclinical studies  in  animal  models  evaluating  the agent as an antithrombotic and neuroprotective  agent,  are  under  way  in  Germany.  Schering AG filed a priority  product patent application in the USA during April 1990. In March 2002,  PAION  licensed  worldwide  rights  to  SOLULIN  from  Schering  AG. Preclinical   studies   in   animal   models   evaluating   SOLULIN  as  an antithrombotic 
and neuroprotective agent, are under way in Germany (PAION,
MAR 2002). A phase I safety trial of SOLULIN is expected to commence before the  end  of  2005 (PAION, OCT 2005). Phase I trials were expected to begin second  half  2005 (PAION, MAY 2005). Phase I trials were expected to start by  end  2003.
PAION has licensed worldwide rights to SOLULIN from Schering
AG  (PAION,  MAR  2002).  Availability  Licensing  partners for SOLULIN are sought  worldwide  by  PAION  (PAION,  OCT 2005). A phase I safety trial of SOLULIN  is  expected to commence before the end of 2005 (PAION, OCT 2005). Phase  I  trials  are
expected to begin second half 2005 (PAION, MAY 2005). Phase  I  trials  were  expected  to  start  by end 2003. Latest prediction
Analyst, First Berlin, reporting on PAION, estimates peak sales for SOLULIN of  EUR156  million as a treatment for stroke and other thrombotic diseases (First Berlin, JUL 2005). >
