2 CBR-2 Benefit and Risk for Treatment of Suicidal Behavior Benefits Risks Reduction of Suicidal Behavior Treatment Intervention

3 CBR-3 Clozaril ® Clinical Uses  First approved in 1969 for treatment of schizophrenia  Plays unique role in management of treatment- resistant and partially-responsive patients  Increased interest in other clinical uses eg, substance abuse, smoking cessation, movement disorders, aggression, suicidal behavior

4 CBR-4 The Burden of Suicidal Behavior Untreated suicidal behavior leads to increased  Morbidity and mortality  Hospitalizations (psychiatric or medical)  Emergency room visits  Interventions to prevent suicide attempts – Concomitant medication – Increased surveillance  Family burden  Societal costs

5 CBR-5 InterSePT as Basis for Benefit/Risk Assessment of Clozaril ®  Well-designed, prospective, randomized study  Endpoints are objectively determined by blinded SMB  Compares 2 atypical antipsychotics  Long-term (2 years) efficacy and safety assessments  Procedures designed to maximize patient safety C

10 CBR-10 Clinical Risks of Intervention  Agranulocytosis – Current estimated incidence in US is 0.3% during first year of treatment – Well-established risk management system  Myocarditis – Current rate in US is 5 per 100,000 patient years  Seizures – Incidence 3%  Weight gain and disturbances in glucose regulation

11 CBR-11 InterSePT Risk Experience With Clozaril ®  Adverse event profile generally consistent with previous clinical experience  No cases of agranulocytosis, myocarditis, or cardiomyopathy were observed in the Clozaril-treated group  Convulsions: 2.5% (N = 12) C

12 CBR-12 InterSePT Benefit Experience  Significantly lower risk of suicidal behavior relative to Zyprexa ® (P =.03)  26% reduction in risk of suicide attempts or hospitalizations to prevent suicide for Clozaril ® relative to Zyprexa C

13 CBR-13 Number Needed to Treat (NNT) to Prevent a Suicide Attempt  Clozaril ® has a 2-year NNT of 13 – If 13 at-risk patients were treated with Clozaril instead of Zyprexa ®, we would prevent 1 suicide attempt or 1 hospitalization to prevent suicide 8

14 CBR-14 Benefit Risk Calculation Risk in 2 years for every 1,000 patients on Clozaril ® RisksAgranulocytosis3.5 Myocarditis< 1 BenefitsNumber of patients for whom one suicide attempt, suicide, or hospitalization related to suicide, was prevented compared to treatment with Zyprexa ® 77

15 CBR-15 Conclusions  Suicidal behavior in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder represents an important unmet medical need  InterSePT demonstrates the efficacy of Clozaril ® in reducing suicidal behavior in comparison with Zyprexa ®  Use of Clozaril for the proposed indication poses no additional safety risk  Clozaril should be an available treatment option for patients with suicidal behavior C
