Find Drugs in a Specific State of Development for a Particular Company?

TOPIC: Finding drugs that a company has in the pipeline helps to determine if the company is your competitor and also to identify at what stages of development a competitive drug might be in. Pharmaprojects (File 128)* reports on new pharmaceutical products at all stages of development from early pharmacological studies to final launch or discontinuation in all major markets.

In this example, you are looking for information on all drugs that Abbott, a large pharmaceutical company, has in Phase III clinical trials.

TEXT:        Zotarolimus (ABT-578) is a sirolimus(qv)analogue, developed by Abbott as a stent coating for the treatment of restenosis 
 
             Marketing
 
             The Endeavor drug-eluting coronary stent containing
zotarolimus is launched in 75 countries including in the EU (2005) (Press release, Medtronic, 31 Jul 2005; Target Daily Online, 20 Dec 2005, W00905764). It is awaiting approval in the US (approval expected in 2007) (Target Daily Online, 11 Oct 2005, W00898470 & 20 Dec 2005, W00905764). It is licensed to Medtronic under a co-exclusive agreement, for use with its drug-eluting Driver and Endeavor stents. As part of the agreement, Medtronic also has rights to a phosphocholine coating technology designed to mimic the outside surface of a red blood cell and thus prevent an immune
response to the stent. Abbott has rights to market several of Medtronic's stent delivery systems. Abbott is also developing its own zotarolimus- eluting stent (ZoMaxx; qv) (Press release, Medtronic, 9 May 2002).
 
             Clinical
 
             Phase III
 
             A randomized, single-blind trial (ENDEAVOR IV) in 1548 restenosis patients in Canada and the US, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Endeavor formulated with zotarolimus cf TAXUS (qv) was conducted. The primary endpoint was the target vessel failure rate at 9mth and the secondary endpoint was the incidence of major adverse cardiac events at 30 days (Press releases, Medtronic, 31 Aug 2004 & 12 Apr 2005; Direct communication, Medtronic, 7 Feb 2005). In a randomized, double-blind trial in 1197 patients (ENDEAVOR II) in Asia, Canada and Europe, Endeavor formulated with zotarolimus reduced target vessel failure and target lesion revascularization by 47 and 62%, respectively, cf Medtronic's Driver cobalt alloy stent (control). It also gave a 71% reduction in in-stent angiographic binary restenosis and a 50% reduction in the major adverse cardiac event rate, cf control; no late malapposition or late thrombosis were observed beyond 30 days (Press releases, Medtronic, 6 Mar 2005 & 12 Apr 2005). Enrollment is complete in a confirmatory US trial in 436 patients (ENDEAVOR III). The trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Endeavor formulated with zotarolimus cf Cypher (sirolimus, stent, J&J; qv). The primary endpoint is late lumen loss at 8mth. Results were expected in 2005 (Press releases, Medtronic, 12 Feb 2004 & 12 Apr 2005).
