BC Pharmacare BC PharmaCare YourVoice Drug Information The drug below is being considered for coverage under the B.C. PharmaCare program. PharmaCare is a government-funded drug plan that helps British Columbians with the cost of eligible prescription drugs and specific medical supplies. PharmaCare reviews each drug for treating a specific illness or medical condition (known as an indication). If a decision is made to cover the drug, it will be only for that indication. In some cases, PharmaCare may cover a drug only for people who have the illness or condition and have not responded to other drugs used for that indication. Information about the drug Generic name (scientific Insulin degludec – liraglutide name) Brand name Xultophy® Manufacturer Novo Nordisk Indication Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Has the drug been reviewed Baricitinib is currently under review by the CDR. by the Common Drug For more information about the CDR’s review of baricitinib (Olumiant), you Review (CDR)? can Search the CDR Reports. The CDR is a national organization that reviews drugs on behalf of Canadian public sector plans when manufacturers want the jurisdictions to provide coverage for the drugs. Public input start date Thursday, June 6, 2019 Public input closing date Thursday, July 4, 2019 AT MIDNIGHT How is the drug taken? Xultophy is available as a solution for injection under the skin via a pre-filled pen. It is usually taken in combination with other diabetes treatments. How often is the drug taken? Xultophy is administered once per day. Ministry of Health Pharmaceutical Services Division Page 1 of 6 BC PharmaCare Drug Information insulin degludec - liraglutide (XULTOPHY®) Information about the drug General drug and/or drug study Xultophy contains two drugs that help regulate blood sugar in the body. information The first drug is called insulin degludec. Insulin degludec is a long-acting basal insulin which lowers blood sugar levels in the body. The second drug is liraglutide. Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist which helps the body to make more insulin during meals and lowers the amount of sugar made by the body. Studies of Xultophy looked at: • Diabetes-related outcomes (e.g., coronary heart disease, neuropathy) • Deaths (caused by any cause or related to cardiovascular causes) • Blood sugar control (e.g., hemoglobin A1c, fasting or post-meal blood sugar measurements) • Health-related quality of life • Body mass index or body weight • Blood pressure • Bad reactions • Serious bad reactions • Patients leaving the trial due to bad reactions • Bad reactions of special interest (e.g., low blood sugar, kidney failure) Cost of the drug under review compared to other drugs used to treat the same indication generic name PharmaCare Status Usual Dose Annual Cost of Therapy (Brand Name) of (if and how the drug is ($) Drug Comparator already covered) Insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist combinations 16 to 50 U insulin degludec Insulin degludec - liraglutide and 0.58 to 1.8 mg liraglutide 1,184 (16 U) to 3,699 (50 U) Under Review (XULTOPHY®) once a day.

The Drug Review Process in British Columbia A manufacturer submits a request to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) to have their drug covered by PharmaCare. An independent group called the Drug Benefit Council (DBC) gives advice to the Ministry. The DBC looks at: • whether the drug is safe and effective • advice from a national group called the Common Drug Review (CDR) • what the drug costs and whether it is a good value for the people of B.C. • ethical considerations involved with covering or not covering the drug • input from physicians, patients, caregivers, patient groups and drug submission sponsors The Ministry makes PharmaCare coverage decisions by taking into account: • existing PharmaCare policies, programs and resources • the evidence-informed advice of the DBC • the drugs already covered by PharmaCare that are used to treat similar medical conditions • the overall cost of covering the drug For more information about the B.C.

  • LANTUS® (Insulin Glargine [Rdna Origin] Injection)
    Rev. March 2007 Rx Only LANTUS® (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection) LANTUS® must NOT be diluted or mixed with any other insulin or solution. DESCRIPTION LANTUS® (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection) is a sterile solution of insulin glargine for use as an injection. Insulin glargine is a recombinant human insulin analog that is a long-acting (up to 24-hour duration of action), parenteral blood-glucose-lowering agent. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). LANTUS is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing a non- pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli (K12) as the production organism. Insulin glargine differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position A21 is replaced by glycine and two arginines are added to the C-terminus of the B-chain. Chemically, it is 21A- B B Gly-30 a-L-Arg-30 b-L-Arg-human insulin and has the empirical formula C267H404N72O78S6 and a molecular weight of 6063. It has the following structural formula: LANTUS consists of insulin glargine dissolved in a clear aqueous fluid. Each milliliter of LANTUS (insulin glargine injection) contains 100 IU (3.6378 mg) insulin glargine. Inactive ingredients for the 10 mL vial are 30 mcg zinc, 2.7 mg m-cresol, 20 mg glycerol 85%, 20 mcg polysorbate 20, and water for injection. Inactive ingredients for the 3 mL cartridge are 30 mcg zinc, 2.7 mg m-cresol, 20 mg glycerol 85%, and water for injection. The pH is adjusted by addition of aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. LANTUS has a pH of approximately 4. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action: The primary activity of insulin, including insulin glargine, is regulation of glucose metabolism.

  • Baricitinib Counteracts Metaflammation, Thus Protecting Against Diet-Induced Metabolic Abnormalities in Mice
    Original Article Baricitinib counteracts metaflammation, thus protecting against diet-induced metabolic abnormalities in mice Debora Collotta 1,5, William Hull 2,5, Raffaella Mastrocola 3, Fausto Chiazza 1, Alessia Sofia Cento 3, Catherine Murphy 2, Roberta Verta 1, Gustavo Ferreira Alves 1, Giulia Gaudioso 4, Francesca Fava 4, Magdi Yaqoob 2, Manuela Aragno 3, Kieran Tuohy 4, Christoph Thiemermann 2,5,**, Massimo Collino 1,5,* ABSTRACT Objective: Recent evidence suggests the substantial pathogenic role of the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway in the development of low-grade chronic inflammatory response, known as “metaflammation,” which contributes to obesity and type 2 diabetes. In this study, we investigated the effects of the JAK1/2 inhibitor baricitinib, recently approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, in a murine high-fat-high sugar diet model. Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were fed with a control normal diet (ND) or a high-fat-high sugar diet (HD) for 22 weeks. A sub-group of HD fed mice was treated with baricitinib (10 mg/kg die, p.o.) for the last 16 weeks (HD þ Bar). Results: HD feeding resulted in obesity, insulin-resistance, hypercholesterolemia and alterations in gut microbial composition. The metabolic abnormalities were dramatically reduced by chronic baricitinib administration. Treatment of HD mice with baricitinib did not change the diet- induced alterations in the gut, but restored insulin signaling in the liver and skeletal muscle, resulting in improvements of diet-induced myo- steatosis, mesangial expansion and associated proteinuria. The skeletal muscle and renal protection were due to inhibition of the local JAK2- STAT2 pathway by baricitinib.

Although many correlations have been described, specific mechanistic links between these changes and glucose homeostasis remain to be defined. Here we show that blood and intestinal levels of the microbiota-produced N-formyl peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), are elevated in high fat diet (HFD)- induced obese mice. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the N-formyl peptide receptor Fpr1 leads to increased insulin levels and improved glucose tolerance, dependent upon glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Obese Fpr1-knockout (Fpr1-KO) mice also display an altered microbiome, exemplifying the dynamic relationship between host metabolism and microbiota.
