RISPERDAL CONSTA
Alkermes has developed a long-acting formulation of Janssen's antipsychotic drug RISPERDAL, called RISPERDAL CONSTA, using its Medisorb drug delivery technology for the treatment of schizophrenia, a brain disorder, characterized by disorganized thinking, delusions and hallucinations. RISPERDAL CONSTA is administered via intramuscular injection every two weeks, as opposed to RISPERDAL tablets, which must be taken daily. RISPERDAL CONSTA is marketed in more than 55 countries around the world including the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, France and Germany. The product has been approved in more than 75 countries, and Janssen continues to launch the product around the world. RISPERDAL is the most commonly prescribed drug for the treatment of schizophrenia and, along with RISPERDAL CONSTA.
In January 2005, Johnson & Johnson initiated a Phase III clinical trial with RISPERDAL CONSTA. In May 2006, Janssen presented additional data supporting the use of RISPERDAL CONSTA in schizophrenia and bipolar maintenance. The Company is a manufacturer of RISPERDAL CONSTA for Janssen.
VIVITROL
VIVITROL, its first United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved product, is an injectable, extended-release Medisorb formulation of naltrexone. Naltrexone, an FDA-approved drug indicated for the treatment of alcohol dependence and for the blockade of effects of exogenously administered opioids, is available in daily oral dosage form. VIVITROL, the first and only once-monthly injectable medication for alcohol dependence, is indicated for the treatment of alcohol dependence in patients who are able to abstain from drinking in an outpatient setting and are not actively drinking prior to treatment initiation. Treatment with VIVITROL should be used in combination with psychosocial support, such as counseling or group therapy. VIVITROL was available to physicians and patients in the United States beginning on June 13, 2006. VIVITROL is available as a single dose 380-milligram intramuscular injection. In June 2005, it partnered with Cephalon to commercialize VIVITROL in the United States. Alkermes is the manufacturer of VIVITROL, and earns manufacturing revenue from Cephalon.
AIR insulin
The Company is collaborating with Lilly to develop inhaled formulations of insulin and other potential products for the treatment of diabetes based on its AIR pulmonary drug delivery technology. As part of the Phase III pivotal program that began in July 2005, Alkermes is conducting two long-term safety and efficacy studies: a 24-month study in 400 type-one diabetes patients, and a 12-month study in 600 type-one and type-two diabetes patients with mild to moderate asthma or mild to moderate chronic obstructive lung disease. In addition, in April 2006, the Company and Lilly announced the initiation of a Phase III clinical trial required for registration for AIR insulin. This study in type-two diabetes patients is designed to compare A1C, an average measure of blood sugar (glucose) over a three-month period, between AIR insulin and injectable pre-meal insulin.
In June and September 2005, Alkermes and Lilly presented detailed results from a Phase II clinical study of inhaled insulin in people with type-one diabetes, showing that patients using AIR insulin achieved blood sugar levels similar to patients treated with injected insulin.
The SqueezeTrigger database of approximately 1 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data. Total Short Interest is the number of shares shorted but not yet covered, and is different from total short volume.
