About Selincro (nalmefene):

Selincro is indicated for the reduction of alcohol consumption in adult patients
with alcohol dependence who have a high drinking risk level (>60 g/day for men,
>40 g/day for women) without physical withdrawal symptoms and who do not require
immediate detoxification. Selincro should be prescribed in conjunction with
continuous psychosocial support focused on treatment adherence and the reduction
of alcohol consumption. Treatment should be initiated only in patients who
continue to have a high drinking risk level two weeks after an initial
assessment. Selincro is to be taken as-needed; that is, on each day the patient
perceives a risk of drinking alcohol, one tablet should be taken, preferably
1-2 hours prior to the anticipated time of drinking.

Selincro received European marketing authorization in February 2013 and has to
date been introduced in over 20 European markets. Biotie has licensed global
rights to Selincro to Lundbeck. Under the terms of the agreement, Biotie is
eligible for up to EUR 89 million in upfront and milestone payments plus
royalties on sales of Selincro. Upon payment of the milestone for market entry
in Spain, Biotie will have received EUR 18 million of such milestone payments
from Lundbeck. Further payments of EUR 2 million each are expected on commercial
launch of Selincro in France and Germany, and further potential milestone
payments on launches in certain other markets and if the product reaches certain
predetermined sales. In addition, Biotie will continue to receive royalties on
sales in all launched markets and will make a contribution to Lundbeck towards
post approval commitments studies. Lundbeck is responsible for the registration,
manufacturing and marketing of the product.
