Hertfordshire Medicines Management Committee (Hmmc) Nafarelin for Endometriosis Amber Initiation – Recommended for Restricted Use
HERTFORDSHIRE MEDICINES MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (HMMC) NAFARELIN FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS AMBER INITIATION – RECOMMENDED FOR RESTRICTED USE Name: What it is Indication Date Decision NICE / SMC generic decision status Guidance (trade) last revised Nafarelin A potent agonistic The hormonal December Final NICE NG73 2mg/ml analogue of management of 2020 Nasal Spray gonadotrophin endometriosis, (Synarel®) releasing hormone including pain relief and (GnRH) reduction of endometriotic lesions HMMC recommendation: Amber initiation across Hertfordshire (i.e. suitable for primary care prescribing after specialist initiation) as an option in endometriosis Background Information: Gonadorelin analogues (or gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonists [GnRHas]) include buserelin, goserelin, leuprorelin, nafarelin and triptorelin. The current HMMC decision recommends triptorelin as Decapeptyl SR® injection as the gonadorelin analogue of choice within licensed indications (which include endometriosis) link to decision. A request was made by ENHT to use nafarelin nasal spray as an alternative to triptorelin intramuscular injection during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hospital would provide initial 1 month supply, then GPs would continue for further 5 months as an alternative to the patient attending for further clinic appointments for administration of triptorelin. Previously at ENHT, triptorelin was the only gonadorelin analogue on formulary for gynaecological indications. At WHHT buserelin nasal spray 150mcg/dose is RED (hospital only) for infertility & endometriosis indications. Nafarelin nasal spray 2mg/ml is licensed for: . The hormonal management of endometriosis, including pain relief and reduction of endometriotic lesions. Use in controlled ovarian stimulation programmes prior to in-vitro fertilisation, under the supervision of an infertility specialist. Use of nafarelin in endometriosis aims to induce chronic pituitary desensitisation, which gives a menopause-like state maintained over many months. -

Elagolix) Tablets, for Oral Use
Important New Update to the Prescribing Information for ORILISSA® (elagolix) tablets, for oral use In February 2021, the ORILISSA Prescribing Information (PI) was updated. The following describes several of the changes in the ORILISSA PI. Please refer to the full PI to review additional changes. The following items have been added to the Prescribing Information (PI): • Section 1 Indications and Usage – Limitations of Use: Limit the duration of use based on the dose and coexisting condition (see Table 1). • Section 4 Contraindications – With known hypersensitivity reaction to ORILISSA or any of its inactive components. Reactions have included anaphylaxis and angioedema [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. • Section 6 Adverse Reactions – 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of ORILISSA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Immune system disorders: hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis, angioedema, and urticaria). The following items have been updated in the PI to read: • Section 4 Contraindications – Taking inhibitors of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 (a hepatic uptake transporter) that are known or expected to significantly increase elagolix plasma concentrations [see Drug Interactions (7.2)]. • Section 5 Warnings and Precautions – 5.5 Interactions with Hormonal Contraceptives Advise -

It stimulates differential release of the gonadotropins FSH and LH from pituitary tissue. To date, treatment of hormone-dependent diseases targeting the GnRH receptor, including peptide GnRH agonist and antagonists are now available on the market. The inherited issues associate with peptide agonists and antagonists have however, led to significant interest in developing orally active, small molecule, non-peptide antagonists. In this review, we will summarize all developed small molecule GnRH antagonists along with the most recent clinical data and therapeutic applications.

Relugolix in Combination with Estradiol/Norethindrone Acetate for Moderate to Severe Symtpoms of Uterine Fibroids
HEALTH TECHNOLOGY BRIEFING JULY 2020 Relugolix in combination with estradiol/norethindrone acetate for moderate to severe symtpoms of uterine fibroids NIHRIO ID 21727 NICE ID 10369 Developer/Company Gedeon Richter UKPS ID 657345 UK Ltd. Licensing and Currently in phase III clinical trials. market availability plans SUMMARY Relugolix in combination with estradiol/norethindrone acetate is in clinical development for the treatment of moderate to severe symptoms associated with uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb. Many women with fibroids do not develop symptoms, however, symptoms can include heavy and/or painful periods, abdominal pain, lower back pain, a frequent need to urinate, constipation and pain or discomfort during sex. Current treatment options aim to reduce heavy periods, for example using contraception, however, treatments for fibroids remain limited. Relugolix is a small molecule that binds to the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor in the pituitary gland, decreasing the release of hormones which control oestrogen and progesterone production by the ovaries. Results from clinical trials demonstrated that relugolix in combination with estradiol and norethisterone acetate reduced menstrual bleeding in women with uterine fibroids. Relugolix is administered orally, and if licensed would offer an additional treatment option for women moderate to severe symptoms associated with uterine fibroids. This briefing reflects the evidence available at the time of writing and a limited literature search. It is not intended to be a definitive statement on the safety, efficacy or effectiveness of the health technology covered and should not be used for commercial purposes or commissioning without additional information. -
