8. Why IMI? Society and Patients Need Innovative Treatments Alzheimer’s Drugs: Summary of Recommendations The medicines used to slow mental decline in people with Alzheimer's disease are not particularly effective. When compared with a placebo, only 10 to 20 percent more people taking an Alzheimer's drug seem to benefit at all. And it is the rare person who has a significant delay in the worsening of their symptoms over time. However, there is no way as yet to predict who will respond and who will get little or no benefit from one of the five drugs approved to treat Alzheimer's disease. Thus, the decision to try one is a gamble and judgment is based on whether the treatment is worth the cost and the risk of side effects. EARMA Annual Meeting 23 rd June 2011

The Pharmaceutical Industry is under pressure The Product replacement Ratio is the ratio of revenue from new products (that is, those launched in the previous 5 years) to the revenue lost from declining products. A ratio of less than 1 reflects a failure to replace former successful products with new revenue drivers.
