Gezien de indicatie "behavioural variant frontotemporal" betreft zal het gaan om 3%-12% van de mensen met dementie (hersenstichting.nl). Dit zijn omgerekend ongeveer 8.000 - 32.500 patiënten. Gezien maar 1/9de deel van de mensen met dementie geneesmiddelen gebruikt (SFK) is de verwachting dat er 900-3.600 patiënten in aanmerking komen voor het middel gezien de indicatie. Afhankelijk van de therapeutische waarde kan dit aandeel patiënten oplopen.
