Chapter 7: Monogenic Forms of Diabetes
CHAPTER 7 MONOGENIC FORMS OF DIABETES Mark A. Sperling, MD, and Abhimanyu Garg, MD Dr. Mark A. Sperling is Emeritus Professor and Chair, University of Pittsburgh, Department of Pediatrics, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, Pittsburgh, PA. Dr. Abhimanyu Garg is Professor of Internal Medicine and Chief of the Division of Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX. SUMMARY Types 1 and 2 diabetes have multiple and complex genetic influences that interact with environmental triggers, such as viral infections or nutritional excesses, to result in their respective phenotypes: young, lean, and insulin-dependence for type 1 diabetes patients or older, overweight, and often manageable by lifestyle interventions and oral medications for type 2 diabetes patients. A small subset of patients, comprising ~2%–3% of all those diagnosed with diabetes, may have characteristics of either type 1 or type 2 diabetes but have single gene defects that interfere with insulin production, secretion, or action, resulting in clinical diabetes. These types of diabetes are known as MODY, originally defined as maturity-onset diabetes of youth, and severe early-onset forms, such as neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM). Defects in genes involved in adipocyte development, differentiation, and death pathways cause lipodystrophy syndromes, which are also associated with insulin resistance and diabetes. Although these syndromes are considered rare, more awareness of these disorders and increased availability of genetic testing in clinical and research laboratories, as well as growing use of next generation, whole genome, or exome sequencing for clinically challenging phenotypes, are resulting in increased recognition. A correct diagnosis of MODY, NDM, or lipodystrophy syndromes has profound implications for treatment, genetic counseling, and prognosis. -

Via Santa Lucia 6-20122 Milan, Italy Applicant’s Representative: Lamberto Dionigi. Regulatory Affairs & Drug Safety Director 39-02-5838-3559 Drug: OXERVATE (cenegermin – bkbj) ophthalmic solution, 20 mcg/mL Submitted: Reference is made to the meeting Teleconference of 15-July-2018, in which the FDA has requested to provide information available at Dompé on the use of Oxervate in the pediatric population. Pediatric patients exposed to Oxervate: Dompé confirms that Oxervate is not yet approved in Europe for use in children and no clinical studies have been conducted in this population. As far as the company is aware, four (4) Neurotrophic Keratitis (NK) pediatric patients, aged from 2 to 12 years of age, have been exposed to Oxervate. A 6-year-old child with severe NK secondary to Stuve-Wiedmann syndrome was treated with Oxervate under “Temporary Authorization for Use” (ATU) in France. Dompé reports that the corneal ulcer was completely healed at the end of the treatment. There were signs of corneal sensitivity recovery by month 8 post-treatment. A 9-year-old child with NK was treated with Oxervate under ATU in France. Dompé reports that the lesion improved, but did not completely heal with the treatment. There is no other follow-up information available. A 12-year-old child with severe NK was treated with Oxervate under Expanded Access in the US. -
European Medicines Agency Accepts Marketing Authorization Application for Asfotase Alfa As a Treatment for Patients with Hypophosphatasia
July 24, 2014 European Medicines Agency Accepts Marketing Authorization Application for Asfotase Alfa as a Treatment for Patients with Hypophosphatasia -- Application designated for review under accelerated assessment process -- CHESHIRE, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALXN) today announced that the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for asfotase alfa, an investigational, first-in-class targeted enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of hypophosphatasia (HPP), has been validated and granted accelerated assessment by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The acceptance of this MAA marks the beginning of the review process in the European Union (EU) for this potential new treatment. "HPP is a devastating disease for patients and their families due to progressive deterioration of bones and muscle weakness, which can result in impaired respiratory function, severe disability and death," said Leonard Bell, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alexion. "If approved, asfotase alfa would be the first therapy for patients with this life-threatening disorder." The EU filing includes positive data from 68 patients with pediatric-onset HPP (ranging from newborns to 66 years of age) enrolled in three pivotal prospective studies and their extensions, as well as a retrospective natural history study in infants. In April, Alexion initiated the rolling submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for asfotase alfa as a treatment for patients with HPP with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

FLT3 Inhibitors in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Mei Wu1, Chuntuan Li2 and Xiongpeng Zhu2*
Wu et al. Journal of Hematology & Oncology (2018) 11:133 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13045-018-0675-4 REVIEW Open Access FLT3 inhibitors in acute myeloid leukemia Mei Wu1, Chuntuan Li2 and Xiongpeng Zhu2* Abstract FLT3 mutations are one of the most common findings in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). FLT3 inhibitors have been in active clinical development. Midostaurin as the first-in-class FLT3 inhibitor has been approved for treatment of patients with FLT3-mutated AML. In this review, we summarized the preclinical and clinical studies on new FLT3 inhibitors, including sorafenib, lestaurtinib, sunitinib, tandutinib, quizartinib, midostaurin, gilteritinib, crenolanib, cabozantinib, Sel24-B489, G-749, AMG 925, TTT-3002, and FF-10101.
