University of Utah recruiting for pregabalin biomarker studyFriday 20 July 2012
U of Utah Recruiting Fibromyalgia & FM/CFS Patients for Pregabalin Biomarker Study Why does Lyrica® (generic name pregabalin) help some FM patients and not others? The Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, announced July 10 that it is seeking participants for a study to investigate Lyrica’s “effects on blood biomarkers” in patients with fibromyalgia or FM & chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Lyrica (pregabalin) is a prescription drug marketed by Pfizer that gained FDA approval in 2007* for treatment of fibromyalgia. Study Details According to the July 10 blood biomarkers study announcement:
___ * As Pfizer's Lyrica patents begin expiring, in October 2013, the $3.4 billion annual Lyrica market will be opening to ‘generic’ (generally lower price) versions of the drug, and as of July 5, the FDA approved marketing of a generic pregabalin product by Lupin Pharmaceuticals.
