3 C-3 Overview Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a recognized disorder of children and adolescents Untreated ADHD has serious consequences Methylphenidate products, including CONCERTA ®, have proven efficacy in treating ADHD We intend to review the safety data and the adequacy of the labeling in the context of the recognized benefits of CONCERTA

26 C-26 Analysis of Postmarketing Suicidal Ideation and Behavior Douglas Jacobs, MD Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Harvard Medical School

27 C-27 Definitional Issues— Suicidal Behavior in Pediatric Population Suicide 1 Self-inflicted death with evidence (either explicit or implicit) that the person intended to die Suicide attempts 1 Self-injurious behavior with a non-fatal outcome accompanied by evidence (either explicit or implicit) that the person intended to die Suicidal ideation 1 Thoughts of serving as the agent of one’s own death. Suicidal ideation may vary in seriousness depending on the specificity of suicide plans and the degree of suicidal intent Self injury 2 Defined as deliberate non-lethal harming of oneself Includes cutting, scratching, picking—generally not a suicide attempt 1.

29 C-29 Understanding Suicide and Suicidality in the ADHD Population Background prevalence There is evidence of direct association between ADHD and suicide, with overlapping symptoms such as impulsiveness, disruptive behavior, irritability, and problems with the law 1,2,3 Significant relationship to comorbid psychiatric illnesses –Depression, conduct disorder, substance abuse, and bipolar disorder 1. James A, et al. Acta Psychiatr Scand. 2004:110:408-415. 2. Jacobs, Harvard Medical School Guide to Suicide Assessment and Intervention. 1999. 3. Rappley M. N Engl J Med. 2005;352:165-173.

30 C-30 Suicidal Ideation and Behavior CONCERTA ® Postmarketing August 2000 to June 2005 121 reports identified –75 nonsuicidal events –21 suicidal ideation –18 suicide attempts –7 fatal outcomes 11 hospitalizations

31 C-31 Postmarketing Reports of Fatal Outcomes August 2000 to June 2005 7 fatal outcomes –ADHD treated  5 suicides -3 pediatric -2 adults –Non-ADHD treated  1 overdose  1 intentional misuse/abuse All suicide cases had contributing factors

32 C-32 Observed vs Expected Suicides Ages 10 to 19 Years Observed suicides 3 Expected number of suicides120 1 CONCERTA ® exposure2,610,000 patient-yr 2 (10 to 19 yr olds) US population rate of suicide4.6 per 100,000 persons (10 to 19 yr olds) 1. US population rate × CONCERTA exposure = expected number. 2. 75% of total pediatric exposure.

33 C-33 Analysis of Rechallenge and Dechallenge Cases CONCERTA ® Postmarketing August 2000 to June 2005 3 rechallenges –No hospitalizations –No suicide attempts (only ideation) –2 confounded 15 dechallenges –2 suicide attempts –9 had confounders 1 negative rechallenge

34 C-34 Suicidal Ideation and Behavior Reports Conclusions Of 121 reports –Two thirds of the cases were not suicidal events –The majority of cases of suicidal ideation and attempts were not severe –Dechallenge and rechallenge cases did not include suicide attempts –Observed cases of suicide were significantly less than expected These data do not support a causal link between the suicide events and CONCERTA.

35 C-35 Overall Conclusions Data support a favorable benefit/risk profile for CONCERTA Further clarify and better organize the information contained in our current labeling utilizing the new physician labeling rule Continue to analyze the available data and work with leading experts to evaluate the best methods for advancing the study of ADHD treatments Continue and enhance our current educational efforts to ensure that physicians, patients, and their families make informed decisions
