Eflapegrastim-Xnst Submitted by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Anton F. Ehrhardt, PhD, VP Medical Affairs Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc One Main St, 11th floor Cambridge, MA 02142 Phone: (617) 477-8091 Email: [email protected] Date of request: 31 August 2020 NCCN Guidelines Panel: Hematopoietic Growth Factors On behalf of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., I respectfully request the NCCN Hematopoietic Growth Factors Panel review the enclosed data for inclusion of eflapegrastim-xnst (Rolontis®), a non-biosimilar long-acting G- CSF of noVel structure, as a recommendation for prophylaxis of febrile neutropenia and maintenance of scheduled dose deliVery (MGF-B). Specific Changes: 1. Addition of eflapegrastim-xnst as a recommendation for prophylaxis of febrile neutropenia and maintenance of scheduled dose deliVery (MGF-B) a. Dosing recommendation below listing of eflapegrastim-xnst: One dose of 13.2 mg (MGF-B) 2. Addition of eflapegrastim-xnst to the listing of Filgrastim, Pegfilgrastim and Tbo-filgrastim in table MGF- D (Toxicity Risks for Myeloid Growth Factors) FDA Clearance: Rolontis is undergoing FDA reView based on an original BLA#761148 for a proposed indication of: to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia. PDUFA for this reView is October 24th, 2020. Rationale: In support of the proposed change, data were generated in pre-clinical in-Vitro and animal model studies that indicated structure-related enhancement of potency, and increased concentrations in bone marrow compared to pegfilgrastim (Barrett 2020(reference 1)). Eflapegrastim is composed of a recombinant human G- CSF joined to an IgG4 Fc moiety Via a short polyethylene glycol linker. The Fc fragment increases the conjugate’s molecular weight/size sufficiently to minimize renal clearance and is thought to facilitate transcytosis and recycling of eflapegrastim via neonatal Fc receptors (FcRn) in the endothelium. Pre-clinical studies were followed by a clinical development series comprised of three phase 1 studies, a phase 2 dose-ranging study, and two phase 3 pivotal trials comparing eflapegrastim head-to-head with pegfilgrastim. Data from initial phase 1 studies were confirmed in a third trial (data on file, Shin 2013). A subsequent phase 2 randomized open-label study (Vacirca 2018) investigated the safety and efficacy of three weight-based doses of eflapegrastim (45, 135 and 270 µg/mL) in comparison to pegfilgrastim at its standard 6 mg/0.6 mL fixed dose (Barrett 2020(reference 3)). Based on these data a fixed dose was selected, and 643 total patients were randomized (314 patients to eflapegrastim and 329 to pegfilgrastim) in two pivotal trials (Schwartzberg 2020, Cobb 2020) comparing eflapegrastim (13.2 mg/0.6 mL) to pegfilgrastim (6 mg/0.6 mL) in patients with early One Main Street, 11th Floor • Cambridge, MA 02142 • Tel: 617.586.3900 www.sppirx.com • NASDAQ: SPPI stage breast cancer receiving treatment with docetaxel/cyclophosphamide. Both of the piVotal trials met their primary endpoints of achieving noninferior efficacy of eflapegrastim compared to pegfilgrastim (mean duration of severe neutropenia in cycle 1), while also demonstrating comparable safety.

  • Rxoutlook® 3Rd Quarter 2020
    ® RxOutlook 3rd Quarter 2020 optum.com/optumrx a RxOutlook 3rd Quarter 2020 In this edition of RxOutlook, we highlight 13 key pipeline drugs with potential to launch by the end of the fourth quarter of 2020. In this list of drugs, we continue to see an emphasis on rare diseases. Indeed, almost half of the drugs we review here have FDA Orphan Drug Designation for a rare, or ultra-rare condition. However, this emphasis on rare diseases is also balanced by several drugs for more “mainstream” conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, hypercholesterolemia, and osteoarthritis. Seven are delivered via the oral route of administration and three of these are particularly notable because they are the first oral option in their respective categories. Berotralstat is the first oral treatment for hereditary angioedema, relugolix is the first oral gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor antagonist for prostate cancer, and roxadustat is the first oral treatment for anemia of chronic kidney disease. Two drugs this list use RNA-based mechanisms to dampen or “silence” genetic signaling in order to correct an underlying genetic condition: Lumasiran for primary hyperoxaluria type 1, and inclisiran for atherosclerosis and familial hypercholesterolemia. These agents can be given every 3 or 6 months and fill a space between more traditional chronic maintenance drugs the require daily administration and gene therapies that require one time dosing for long term (and possible life-long) benefits.

  • Rxoutlook® 3Rd Quarter 2021
    ® RxOutlook 3rd Quarter 2021 optum.com/optumrx a RxOutlook 3rd Quarter 2021 In this edition of RxOutlook, we highlight 12 key pipeline drugs with an expected FDA decision by the end of 2021. Of the products discussed below, one has already been approved by the FDA – AstraZeneca’s Saphnelo® (anifrolumab) for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Saphnelo is one of the few novel therapies approved for SLE over the last several decades and it would provide an additional treatment option in patients that have failed standard therapy (eg, hydroxychloroquine). Bimekizumab, an injectable interleukin (IL)-17 monoclonal antibody, is the first of a series of novel drugs that could potentially be approved in the next 18 months for plaque psoriasis. While this is already a highly competitive therapeutic category, bimekizumab demonstrated superiority in head-to-head trials vs. several biologic treatment options for the condition. Plinabulin is a first-in-class treatment for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) and would potentially be the first change in the treatment paradigm for management of CIN since the development of granulocyte colony stimulating factors (eg, Neulasta®, Neupogen®). Consistent with recent pipeline trends, a significant proportion of drugs remaining this year have been granted orphan drug designation and would be used for rare conditions. Of the 12 drugs discussed below, 7 have an orphan drug designation. In some cases, these treatments will represent the first FDA approved therapies for their conditions. This includes narsoplimab for transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy and vosoritide for achondroplasia. Other orphan drugs included will be entering more competitive landscapes where alternative treatment options are available, but they may provide advantages in certain subsets of patients (pacritinib in patients with myelofibrosis and severe thrombocytopenia).
