GENF, April 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Merck Serono, eine Sparte der Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Deutschland, gab heute bekannt, dass das Unternehmen anlässlich der vom 9. bis 16. April in Honolulu, Hawaii, stattfindenden 63. Jahrestagung der Amerikanischen Akademie für Neurologie (AAN) neue Daten aus seinem Multiple-Sklerose-Portfolio vorstellen wird. Der Schwerpunkt der präsentierten Daten wird auf Rebif(R) (Interferon beta-1a), einer Basistherapie der schubförmigen MS (Multiple Sklerose), sowie auf Cladribin-Tabletten, einer kurzzeitigen oralen krankheitsmodifizierenden Therapie liegen. Cladribin-Tabletten sind zurzeit unter dem Markennamen Movectro(R) in Australien und Russland zur Behandlung der schubförmigen MS zugelassen und erhältlich und befinden sich in Kanada und anderen Ländern in den für die behördliche Zulassung notwendigen Überprüfungen. In den USA hat das Unternehmen von der Food and Drug Administration (FDA) am 28. Februar diesen Jahres einen "Complete Response Letter" erhalten und ein Gespräch beantragt, um die nächsten Schritte zu besprechen.

"Wir engagieren uns dafür, Therapien anzubieten, die auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Menschen abgestimmt sind, die mit Multipler Sklerose in verschiedenen Krankheitsstadien leben", erklärte Dr. Bernhard Kirschbaum, Leiter der weltweiten Forschung und Entwicklung bei Merck Serono. "Die Daten, die bei der bevorstehenden AAN-Tagung präsentiert werden, erweitern unser Verständnis der klinischen Effekte von Rebif und von Cladribin-Tabletten und belegen unser Engagement, Behandlung und Erforschung der Multiplen Sklerose voran zu bringen."

Die folgenden Inhalte wurden zur Präsentation bei der 63. Jahrestagung der AAN zugelassen:
