In the European Union, it is estimated that nearly 12 million patients suffer from GAD on a yearly basis yet only one-third of these patients are properly diagnosed and even fewer received effective treatment.

Lyrica's approval was based on five randomized double-blind clinical trials involving over 2,000 patients.

Data from a combination of five placebo-controlled studies demonstrate that Lyrica provides rapid and sustained efficacy for the treatment of GAD.
