brian: what is the difference between a patented drug like lipitor and then the patent runs out and then you go to the generic? dr. fugh-berman: by the dominant drug comes on the market there are usually seven or 10 years of patent life left. but there are many techniques for extending patent life in some ways of doing that are for example putting out delayed release preparations. a company might do an immediate release and then they do a controlled release and then an extended release. that is a way of extending patent life. sometimes companies will rename drugs and get a new indication for them, sometimes one that they invented. for example prozac was a blockbuster drug and made a lot of money for the company. brian: eli lilly? dr. fugh-berman: eli lilly. so before the patent wore off the company created a condition called pmdd, premenstrual dysphoric disorder. serafim which is prozac. it was indicated for premenstrual disorder and what that meant was even when there was a generic available for prozac there was not a generic available for it even though it is the same drug. that is ano

does make mean one of these drugs will be the new lipitor? guest: exactly. this is the excitement after coming out with these drugs. because it's a high patient population in the u.s. we know heart disease is one of the largest killers in the u.s. even if you restrict these drugs to the severe patients which is where the clinical trials are going after, it is a big population. they are calling for the drugs to hit blockbuster status within two years of launching in the market. not as sexy as the hepatitis c sales we've seen but still up, it's a big market. olivia: what are we talking about in terms of the forecast what is the peak revenue for amgen? guest: it's hard to say just yet because to hit the big sweet spot we'll have to see outcomes trials and that's what's coming in 2017, we should see the responses to that. brendan: what is being discussed in "the new england journal of medicine," that's like being on the rolling stone? guest: you really make it when you get it on "the new england journal" of medicine. this is a dogfight between two companies and
