Earlier this week, the American Diabetes Association called for manufacturers
of incretin-based therapies to make patient-level data available from clinical
trials for an independent analysis of pancreatic safety. AstraZeneca AZN and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company BMY are pleased to see the
American Diabetes Association's engagement and efforts to facilitate further
understanding of this topic.
AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers Squibb have been and will continue to work with
health authorities and scientific experts around the world to closely monitor
the use of our GLP-1 receptor agonist and DPP-4 inhibitor through
comprehensive surveillance programs to ensure patients and physicians have a
clear understanding of the risk/benefit profile of these medications.
AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers Squibb recognize there can be value in pooling
patient level data from trials of agents in a class for the purpose of an
independent meta-analysis of safety sponsored by the American Diabetes
Association. We support the American Diabetes Association's initiative to make
scientifically valid results of a pooled analysis of safety data available to
the public and scientific communities through an independent review, and look
forward to a discussion with the American Diabetes Association about the
logistics of its proposal.
AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers Squibb have an unwavering commitment to patient
safety and the appropriate use of our medicines. We are committed to
communicating accurate and meaningful information about our sponsored clinical
trials in a timely, accurate, balanced and complete manner, regardless of
outcome and with respect for patient confidentiality.
