Drug Pipeline MONTHLY UPDATE Drug Pipeline MONTHLY UPDATE Critical updates in an ever changing environment December 2019 NEW DRUG INFORMATION ™ ● Xcopri (cenobamate): The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved SK Biopharmaceuticals’ Xcopri as an antiepileptic drug for treatment of partial-onset seizures in adults. The approval is based on results from two global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies and a large, global, multi-center, open-label safety study that enrolled adults with uncontrolled partial-onset seizures, taking one to three concomitant anti-epileptic drug (AEDs). In these studies, Xcopri demonstrated significant reductions in seizure frequency compared to placebo.1 Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) has been reported with Xcopri use. It has not been established that the risk of DRESS is prevented by a slower titration; however, it should be initiated at 12.5 mg once daily and titrated every two weeks. Xcopri is expected to be available in the United States 2Q2020, after scheduling review by the DEA, which typically occurs within 90 days of FDA approval. Price pending.

  • Durezol Treats Postoperative Inflammation and Pain This Powerful Corticosteroid Is an Effective New Option for Postsurgical Care
    THERAPEUTICS Durezol Treats Postoperative Inflammation and Pain This powerful corticosteroid is an effective new option for postsurgical care. BY MICHAEL KORENFELD, MD cular surgery has undergone an extraordi- nary evolution. Much of the science that we now take for granted—drugs, instruments, O technology, and procedures—was devel- oped only within the past few decades. As recently as 1973, ophthalmologists’ treatment options were far more limited than they are today. There were no micro- incisions, self-sealing wounds, or Nd:YAG lasers. IOLs were an exciting innovation, but phacoemulsification had yet to be invented. In terms of ocular drugs, pred- nisolone acetate had just been approved for the treat- ment of ocular inflammation.

  • Contact Dermatitis to Medications and Skin Products
    Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology (2019) 56:41–59 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12016-018-8705-0 Contact Dermatitis to Medications and Skin Products Henry L. Nguyen1 & James A. Yiannias2 Published online: 25 August 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Consumer products and topical medications today contain many allergens that can cause a reaction on the skin known as allergic contact dermatitis. This review looks at various allergens in these products and reports current allergic contact dermatitis incidence and trends in North America, Europe, and Asia. First, medication contact allergy to corticosteroids will be discussed along with its five structural classes (A, B, C, D1, D2) and their steroid test compounds (tixocortol-21-pivalate, triamcinolone acetonide, budesonide, clobetasol-17-propionate, hydrocortisone-17-butyrate). Cross-reactivities between the steroid classes will also be examined. Next, estrogen and testosterone transdermal therapeutic systems, local anesthetic (benzocaine, lidocaine, pramoxine, dyclonine) antihistamines (piperazine, ethanolamine, propylamine, phenothiazine, piperidine, and pyrrolidine), top- ical antibiotics (neomycin, spectinomycin, bacitracin, mupirocin), and sunscreen are evaluated for their potential to cause contact dermatitis and cross-reactivities. Finally, we examine the ingredients in the excipients of these products, such as the formaldehyde releasers (quaternium-15, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3 diol, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin), the non- formaldehyde releasers (isothiazolinones, parabens, methyldibromo glutaronitrile, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, and thimero- sal), fragrance mixes, and Myroxylon pereirae (Balsam of Peru) for contact allergy incidence and prevalence. Furthermore, strategies, recommendations, and two online tools (SkinSAFE and the Contact Allergen Management Program) on how to avoid these allergens in commercial skin care products will be discussed at the end.

    BUREAU FOR MEDICAL SERVICES EFFECTIVE WEST VIRGINIA MEDICAID PREFERRED DRUG LIST WITH PRIOR AUTHORIZATION CRITERIA 04/01/2019 This is not an all-inclusive list of available covered drugs and includes only Version 2019.2e managed categories. Refer to cover page for complete list of rules governing this PDL. Prior authorization for a non-preferred agent in any class will be given only if there has been a trial of the preferred brand/generic equivalent or preferred formulation of the active ingredient, at a therapeutic dose, that resulted in a partial response with a documented intolerance. Prior authorization of a non-preferred isomer, pro-drug, or metabolite will be considered with a trial of a preferred parent drug of the same chemical entity, at a therapeutic dose, that resulted in a partial response with documented intolerance or a previous trial and therapy failure, at a therapeutic dose, with a preferred drug of a different chemical entity indicated to treat the submitted diagnosis. (The required trial may be overridden when documented evidence is provided that the use of these preferred agent(s) would be medically contraindicated.) Unless otherwise specified, the listing of a particular brand or generic name includes all legend forms of that drug. OTC drugs are not covered unless specified. PA criteria for non-preferred agents apply in addition to general Drug Utilization Review policy that is in effect for the entire pharmacy program, including, but not limited to, appropriate dosing, duplication of therapy, etc. The use of pharmaceutical samples will not be considered when evaluating the members’ medical condition or prior prescription history for drugs that require prior authorization.

  • Uveitis Therapy: the Corticosteroid Options
    Drugs https://doi.org/10.1007/s40265-020-01314-y REVIEW ARTICLE Uveitis Therapy: The Corticosteroid Options Lianna M. Valdes1 · Lucia Sobrin1 © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 Abstract Uveitis is characterized by intraocular infammation involving the uveal tract; its etiologies generally fall into two broad categories: autoimmune/infammatory or infectious. Corticosteroids are a powerful and important class of medications ubiquitous in the treatment of uveitis. They may be given systemically or locally, in the form of topical drops, periocular injection, intravitreal suspension, or intravitreal implant. This review describes each of the currently available corticosteroid treatment options for uveitis, including favorable and unfavorable characteristics of each as well as applicable clinical trials. The main advantage of corticosteroids as a whole is their ability to quickly and efectively control infammation early on in the course of uveitis. However, they can have serious side efects, whether localized to the eye (such as cataract and elevated intraocular pressure) or systemic (such as osteonecrosis and adrenal insufciency) and in the majority of cases of uveitis are not an appropriate option for long-term therapy. Key Points Clinical features of uveitis include keratic precipitates, ante- rior chamber cell and fare, anterior and posterior synechiae, Corticosteroids are an important mainstay in the treat- iris nodules, snowballs, snowbanks, vitreous haze and cells, ment of uveitis. choroidal lesions, and choroidal thickening. Uncontrolled uveitis can be complicated by cystoid macular edema, retinal Corticosteroids can be given systemically or locally, in vasculitis, optic nerve head edema, and subretinal fuid.
