Cimzia(R), The Only PEGylated Anti-TNF, Recommended For Approval In The EU For Rheumatoid Arthritis
UCB announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) has issued a positive opinion recommending that the European Commission grants a marketing authorisation for Cimzia® (certolizumab pegol), in combination with methotrexate (MTX), for the treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients when the response to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) including MTX, has been inadequate. In these patients, Cimzia® can be given as monotherapy in case of intolerance to MTX or when continued treatment with MTX is inappropriate. Cimzia® has been shown to reduce the rate of progression of joint damage as measured by X-ray and to improve physical function, when given in combination with MTX.

AARP Presses Lawmakers To Support Long Term Care

AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond released the following statement on the Association"s support of the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Act provisions included in the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee"s health reform bill: "Each year, more American families struggle with the staggering cost of long-term care. The long-term care provisions in the HELP bill taken from Chairman Kennedy"s CLASS Act make up an important part of reforming our broken health care system and putting more people on track to get the health and long-term care they need throughout their lives. At the same time, these important provisions could take some of the burden off of struggling Medicaid programs. "Combined with private insurance, personal savings, other public programs and care from friends and loved ones, the CLASS Act provisions will help offer peace of mind to American families and help them pay for the services and supports they need to live independently. "We look forward to working with Chairman Kennedy and his colleagues to include the HELP committee CLASS Act provisions in any final comprehensive health care reform legislation this year." On tuesday, AARP sent a letter to members of the Senate HELP Committee urging them to support the CLASS Act provisions as a part of comprehensive health care reform.
