Amgen Drug Faces Challenge

Amgen Drug Faces Challenge | Rheumatology-Rhumatologie | Scoop.it
A blockbuster drug made by Amgen is no more effective than a cocktail of cheaper generic therapies in treating a severe joint disease affecting an estimated 1.3 million Americans, according to a new study funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Via Richard Meyer
Richard Meyer's curator insight, June 12, 2013 7:13 AM

The findings could prompt changes in the way physicians treat patients, potentially saving significant amounts of money, although some researchers suggested that current treatments may be too well entrenched to be dislodged.

Amgen's Enbrel, which had global sales of $4.23 billion last year, and similar biologic drugs are often prescribed to treat rheumatoid arthritis after patients have failed to respond to a generic drug called methotrexate, which is the most commonly used front-line therapy.
