Myriad Genetics, Inc. has today announced the outcome of a clinical phase III trial of Flurizan® (tarenflurbil) in 1,684 patients with mild Alzheimer's disease.

Lundbeck's partner Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. has today announced the successful completion of ADAGIO, the phase III trial designed to demonstrate that Azilect® 1 mg tablets can slow down the progression of Parkinson's disease.

The study also confirmed the safety and tolerability of Azilect®.
