Danish pharmaceutical company H Lundbeck A/S said on 10 Apr 2003 that a new study shows that its antidepressant Cipralex has a "significantly superior effect" in treating social anxiety disorder than a rival drug, and that it will be seeking permission to market the drug to treat the disorder. Chemical Business NewsBase - Press Release via NewsEdge Corporation : Danish pharmaceutical company H Lundbeck A/S said on 10 Apr 2003 that a new study shows that its antidepressant Cipralex has a "significantly superior effect" in treating social anxiety disorder than a rival drug, and that it will be seeking permission to market the drug to treat the disorder. Presented at the 44th meeting of the Scandinavian College of Neuro-Psychopharmacology, the study demonstrated that Cipralex in doses of 5 and 10 mg a day showed significantly better efficacy than a placebo and comparable efficacy to a Paxil dose of 20 mg/day. The study also showed that a dosage of 20 mg/day of Cipralex was significantly superior to a 20 mg/day dosage of Paxil for 24 weeks. Participants in the study started with a one-week single-blind placebo after which they were randomised to 24 weeks of double-blind treatment with fixed doses of Cipralex (5, 10 and 20 mg/day), Paxil (20 mg/day), or a placebo. Lundbeck said the study's results do not change its expectations for its 2003 financial results.
