Background information on the procedure 1.1. Submission of the dossier The applicant FGK Representative Service GmbH submitted on 29 February 2012 an application for Marketing Authorisation to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for cholic acid FGK, through the centralised procedure falling within the Article 3(1) and point 4 of Annex of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004. The eligibility to the centralised procedure was agreed upon by the EMA/CHMP on 29 May 2009. Cholic acid FGK, was designated as an orphan medicinal product EU/3/09/683 on 9 December 2011 in the following indication: Treatment of inborn errors of primary bile acid synthesis responsive to treatment with cholic acid. At the time of designation, inborn errors in primary bile acid synthesis responsive to treatment with cholic acid affected approximately 0.07 in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU). Following the CHMP positiveMedicinal opinion on this marketing authorisation, the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) reviewed the designation of Kolbam as an orphan medicinal product in the approved indication. The outcome of the COMP review can be found on the Agency's website: ema.europa.eu/Find medicine/Rare disease designations. The applicant applied for the followingproduct indications: Cholic acid FGK is indicated for the treatment of inborn errors of primary bile acid synthesis, responsive to treatment with cholic acid, in infants from one month of age for continuous lifelong treatment through adulthood. no Inborn errors of primary bile acid synthesis involve congenital defects in the primary enzymes responsible for catalysing key reactions in the synthesislonger of cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids. The primary enzyme defects include but are not limited to: 5 5 • 3β-hydroxy-∆ -C27-steroid oxidoreductase (also known as 3β-hydroxy-∆ -C27-steroid dehydrogenase/isomerase or 3β-HSD or HSD3β7) deficiencyauthorised • ∆4-3-oxosteroid 5β-reductase (∆4-3-oxo-R or AKR1D1) deficiency • Sterol 27-hydroxylase (presenting as cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, CTX) deficiency • Defective bile acid amidation due to failure to conjugate with glycine and/or taurine • 2- (or α-) methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) deficiency • Oxysterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7B1) deficiency • Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) deficiency • Trihydroxycholestanoic acid (THCA) CoA oxidase deficiency • Side-chain oxidation defect in the sterol 25-hydroxylation pathway The legal basis for this application refers to: Article 8.3 of Directive 2001/83/EC, as amended - complete and independent application.

    PHARMACY COVERAGE GUIDELINES ORIGINAL EFFECTIVE DATE: 9/15/2016 SECTION: DRUGS LAST REVIEW DATE: 8/19/2021 LAST CRITERIA REVISION DATE: 8/19/2021 ARCHIVE DATE: OCALIVA™ (obeticholic acid) oral Coverage for services, procedures, medical devices and drugs are dependent upon benefit eligibility as outlined in the member's specific benefit plan. This Pharmacy Coverage Guideline must be read in its entirety to determine coverage eligibility, if any. This Pharmacy Coverage Guideline provides information related to coverage determinations only and does not imply that a service or treatment is clinically appropriate or inappropriate. The provider and the member are responsible for all decisions regarding the appropriateness of care. Providers should provide BCBSAZ complete medical rationale when requesting any exceptions to these guidelines. The section identified as “Description” defines or describes a service, procedure, medical device or drug and is in no way intended as a statement of medical necessity and/or coverage. The section identified as “Criteria” defines criteria to determine whether a service, procedure, medical device or drug is considered medically necessary or experimental or investigational. State or federal mandates, e.g., FEP program, may dictate that any drug, device or biological product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may not be considered experimental or investigational and thus the drug, device or biological product may be assessed only on the basis of medical necessity. Pharmacy Coverage Guidelines are subject to change as new information becomes available. For purposes of this Pharmacy Coverage Guideline, the terms "experimental" and "investigational" are considered to be interchangeable.

  • Cholic Acid for Treating Inborn Errors of Primary Bile Acid Synthesis NHS England Unique Reference Number URN1623 / NICE ID004
    NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE Clinical evidence review of cholic acid for treating inborn errors of primary bile acid synthesis NHS England unique reference number URN1623 / NICE ID004 Prepared by: NICE on behalf of NHS England Specialised Commissioning About this clinical evidence review Clinical evidence reviews are a summary of the best available evidence for a single technology within a licensed indication, for commissioning by NHS England. The clinical evidence review supports NHS England in producing clinical policies but is not NICE guidance or advice. Summary This evidence review considers cholic acid (Laboratoires CTRS [Orphacol] and Retrophin Europe Ltd [Kolbam]) for treating inborn errors of primary bile acid NICE clinical evidence review of cholic acid for treating inborn errors of primary bile acid synthesis Page 1 of 72 NHS URN1623 NICE ID004 synthesis caused by the following enzyme deficiencies in people aged 1 month and over: 3-beta-hydroxy-delta5-C27-steroid oxidoreductase (3beta-HSD) delta4-3-oxosteroid-5-beta reductase (5beta-reductase) 2- (or alpha-) methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) sterol 27-hydroxylase (presenting as cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis [CTX]) cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). Inborn errors of primary bile acid synthesis are rare genetic conditions in which enzyme deficiencies prevent the liver from converting cholesterol in the body to bile acids (such as cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid). This results in the liver producing high concentrations of atypical (or ‘unusual’) bile acids and intermediary metabolites (some of which are toxic to the liver) in an attempt to establish a normal bile acid pool. Accumulation of potentially toxic atypical bile acids and metabolites, and reduced flow of bile acids may cause liver injury.

The full contents can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/ 10.1111/bph.13348/full. G protein-coupled receptors are one of the eight major pharmacological targets into which the Guide is divided, with the others being: ligand-gated ion channels, voltage-gated ion channels, other ion channels, nuclear hormone receptors, catalytic receptors, enzymes and transporters. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside key references and suggestions for further reading.

The findings and conclusions in this document are those of the authors, who are responsible for its content, and do not necessarily represent the views of AHRQ. No statement in this report should be construed as an official position of AHRQ or of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. A novel intervention may not appear in this report simply because the System has not yet detected it. The list of novel interventions in the Horizon Scanning Status Update Report will change over time as new information is collected.
