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.
