PARSABIV (Etelcalcetide) RATIONALE for INCLUSION IN
PARSABIV (etelcalcetide) RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION IN PA PROGRAM Background Parsabiv (etelcalcetide) is a calcimimetic agent that increases the sensitivity of the calcium-sensing receptor to activation by extracellular calcium. These calcium-sensing receptors are on the parathyroid hormone gland and are the principal regulators of PTH (parathyroid hormone) synthesis and secretion. By increasing the sensitivity of the calcium sensing receptors, a reduction in PTH secretion is achieved. Reductions in PTH are associated with a decrease in bone turnover and bone fibrosis in patients with CKD (chronic kidney disease) on hemodialysis and uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) (1). Regulatory Status FDA approved indication: Parsabiv is a calcium-sensing receptor agonist indicated for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (1). Limitation of Use: Parsabiv has not been studied in adult patients with parathyroid carcinoma, primary hyperparathyroidism, or with CKD who are not on hemodialysis and is not recommended for use in these populations (1). Initial treatment with Parsabiv is contraindicated if serum calcium is less than the lower limit of the normal range. Life threatening events and fatal outcomes were reported due to hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia can prolong QT interval, lower the threshold for seizures, and cause hypotension, worsening heart failure, and/or arrhythmia. Monitor serum calcium carefully for the occurrence of hypocalcemia during treatment. Once the maintenance dose has been established, serum calcium should be measured monthly for patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism with CKD on hemodialysis (1). In patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism with chronic kidney disease who are on hemodialysis, serum calcium should be measured within 1 week of starting Parsabiv, and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) should be measured 4 weeks after initiation or dose adjustment of Parsabiv (1). -
Circulating Biomarkers in Neuromuscular Disorders: What Is Known, What Is New

Biomarkers can be classified based on their clinical value into different categories: diagnostic biomarkers confirm the presence of a specific disease, prognostic biomarkers provide information about disease course, and therapeutic biomarkers are designed to predict or measure treatment response. Circulating biomarkers, as opposed to instrumental/invasive ones (e.g., muscle MRI or nerve ultrasound, muscle or nerve biopsy), are generally easier to access and less “time-consuming”. In addition to well-known creatine kinase, other promising molecules seem to be candidate biomarkers to improve the diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of therapeutic response, such as antibodies, neurofilaments, and microRNAs. However, there are some criticalities that can complicate their application: variability during the day, stability, and reliable performance metrics Citation: Barp, A.; Ferrero, A.; (e.g., accuracy, precision and reproducibility) across laboratories. In the present review, we discuss Casagrande, S.; Morini, R.; Zuccarino, the application of biochemical biomarkers (both validated and emerging) in the most common NMDs R. -
Teriparatide Injection I.P. (R-DNA Origin) Interactions Were Noted
PA011FSRI04 For more information, visit us at www.lillyindia.co.in Interactions with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction Forteo® has been evaluated in pharmacodynamic interaction studies with hydrochlorothiazide. No clinically significant Teriparatide Injection I.P. (r-DNA origin) interactions were noted. ® Co-administration of raloxifene or hormone replacement therapy with Forteo® did not alter the effects of Forteo® on Forteo serum or urine calcium or on clinical adverse events. (600mcg/2.4mL, Solution for injection in a pre-filled pen) In a study of 15 healthy subjects administered digoxin daily to steady state, a single Forteo® dose did not alter the cardiac effect of digoxin. However, sporadic case reports have suggested that hypercalcaemia may predispose patients to digitalis toxicity. Because Forteo® transiently increases serum calcium, Forteo® should be used with caution in patients taking digitalis NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Fertility, pregnancy and lactation Fertility Forteo® 600mcg/2.4mL, solution for injection, in pre-filled pen.

Spotlight on Market Access Actionable understandings from AIS Health’s in-depth coverage September 16, 2019 Recent Situations Stress That Data Is More Important Than Ever to FDA, Drug Uptake 2 Clinical Trials by Indication: Q2 2019 A pair of drugmakers and the FDA found themselves in the news lately, but it’s safe to say it wasn’t for the reasons they would prefer. Both situations Reality Check: PCSK9 Inhibitors 8 stress the importance of data needed to secure product approvals, and, per- haps, payer and provider uptake. On Aug. 6, the FDA put out a statement addressing “data accuracy issues” with Zolgensma (onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi), a new gene ther- apy to treat spinal muscular atrophy in people less than 2 years old who have bi-allelic mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 gene, including those who are presymptomatic when diagnosed. The one-time therapy has the distinction of being the most expensive drug in the world, with a price tag of $2.1 million. The FDA approved the drug from AveXis, Inc. on May 24 (SMA 7/1/19, p. 6). On June 28, AveXis — which was acquired by Novartis AG last year — notified the agency that there was “a data manipulation issue that impacts the accuracy of certain data from product testing performed in animals sub- mitted in the biologics license application (BLA) and reviewed by the FDA.” continued on p. 3 Report Reveals That Almost 100 RM/AT Products Are in Phase III Clinical Trials This past quarter saw two new gene therapies: Novartis AG subsidiary AveXis, Inc.’s Zolgensma (onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi) received FDA approval May 24 for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA 7/1/19, p. -
