larger opportunities exist for rivaroxaban,
with possible additional indications for
venous thromboembolism treatment, stroke
prevention in atrial fibrillation, prevention of
DVT and PE in patients hospitalized with
medical illnesses, and acute coronary
syndrome. J&JPRD is c0-developing
rivaroxaban with Bayer HealthCare AG, which
holds marketing rights in countries outside
the U.S. If the drug is approved by the FDA,
Ortho-McNeil, a division of Ortho-McNeil-
Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., will market it
in the U.S.

(sNDAs) were submitted to the FDA
requesting approval for the use of ®
(paliperidone) tablets for the treatment of
schizoaective disorder as monotherapy and
for use in combination with antidepressants
and/or mood stabilizers.
An NDA was submitted to the FDA for
carisbamate, an investigational compound
for the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset
seizures in patients age 16 and older. In 1999,
J&JPRD and SK Holdings Co., Ltd. entered
into a license agreement to develop and
commercialize carisbamate, with J&JPRD
receiving global marketing rights.

approved in Switzerland, Canada and the
Ukraine for the treatment of complicated
skin and soft tissue infections. It is under
review in the U.S., Europe, Australia and
several other countries and has the ability to
address a broad range of serious bacteria,
including methicillin-resistant staphylo-
coccus aureus (MRSA). Janssen-Cilag will
market the drug, which is licensed from and

In addition, several of our currently marketed
and well-performing products received regula-
tory approval for new indications or received
approvals in additional markets in 2008:
The European Commission approved
once-daily dosing of 800 mg ®
(darunavir) with low-dose ritonavir as part
of combination therapy in treatment-naïve
adults (those who have never taken HIV
medication). This approval broadens the
previous indication of darunavir for treatment-
experienced HIV-1 patients and means that
® can be used for the full spectrum
of adult HIV/AIDS patients in the 27 EU
member states. In the U.S., ®
received full approval for twice-daily use in
treatment-experienced adult patients and an
expanded indication for once-daily dosing as
part of HIV combination therapy in patients
who have never taken HIV medicines.

FDA approved in early 2008, received

advanced breast cancer who have received
prior anthracycline treatment.
An NDA was submitted for the use of
