CC-2 Parkinson’s Disease Dementia Readily diagnosable clinical condition – Develops in the context of established PD Cognitive decline with a typical profile Frequent neuropsychiatric symptoms Functional disability – Exclusion of symptomatic dementias No symptomatic treatments available for PDD – Increased burden for patients and families – Reason for nursing home placement – Considerable unmet need 1-17 DV
3
CC-3 Statement of Need in PDD Treatment to benefit all symptom domains – Cognition, behavior, function Tolerability without adverse impact on – Motor symptoms – Autonomic and cardiovascular functions 1-17 DV
4
CC-4 Benefits of Exelon in PDD Statistically significant benefits were seen in – Primary efficacy measures for cognition and overall status (ADAS-cog and ADCS-CGIC) – All secondary efficacy outcome measures Attention Executive function Behavioral symptoms Activities of daily living 1-17 DV
5
CC-5 Benefits of Exelon in PDD Moderate but consistent benefits in – Cognition Overall cognition: ADAS-cog Executive function: Verbal fluency, clock-drawing test Attention: Composite measure of attention – Behavioral symptoms: Total NPI score – Function: ADCS-ADL – Clinical global outcome: ADCS-CGIC 1-17 DV

CC-7 Risks Associated With Exelon in PDD Gastrointestinal AEs – Occurred mostly during Exelon dose titration – Most of mild or moderate severity and not leading to discontinuation (nausea: 29% incidence, 4% discontinuation) – Lower incidence and discontinuation rates than in Exelon AD studies
8
CC-8 Risks Associated With Exelon in PDD AEs ‘potentially associated with PD’ – 11% more in the Exelon group – Single episodes of mild or moderate severity; decreased incidence after completion of the dose-titration periods – Tremor was the most frequent individual PD symptom (10% vs 4%), discontinuation 1.7% – No difference from placebo in the total UPDRS scores – Exposure over 48 wk not associated with a worsening compared with those exposed over 24 wk
9
CC-9 Risks Associated With Exelon in PDD Cardiovascular safety – No cardiovascular or autonomic safety issues identified with the use of Exelon in PDD – Less frequent orthostatic hypotension and syncope with Exelon – Fewer deaths and SAEs among Exelon-treated patients Exelon in PDD is not associated with a risk beyond that described in the product label for patients with AD
10
CC-10 Clinical Relevance of Benefits Based on previous dementia trials with ChEIs, the treatment effect on ADAS-cog ranges from 2 to 4 points – 2.9 points for Exelon in the core study – 2.1 points for Exelon in AD study In PDD, larger improvement above baseline with Exelon and less decline with placebo as compared with AD studies Corey-Bloom J, et al.

CC-12 Summary of Benefit-Risk Assessment Exelon provided moderate but consistent benefits across all primary and secondary measures in all symptom domains AEs consistent with the established safety profile for Exelon; risk of worsening tremor in 10% of patients No additional safety concerns beyond those described in current label 1
13
CC-13 Conclusion There is currently no approved treatment for PDD Exelon treatment associated with benefits in cognition, behavior, and activities of daily living Tolerability risks, such as nausea and tremor, are easy to monitor, clinically recognizable, and manageable The benefits of Exelon treatment in PD patients with dementia outweigh the risks
