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). Overall, individual orphan drugs are unlikely to be significantly impactful from a budgetary perspective for payers; however, collectively they pose a challenge as they represent an increasingly larger proportion of overall drug spend. Approval decisions for other key novel therapies are expected in the second half of 2021 but are not reviewed in this report because they were covered in previous editions of RxOutlook. These include: abrocitinib and topical ruxolitinib for atopic dermatitis; atogepant for migraine prophylaxis; maralixibat for Alagille syndrome; and avacopan for ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Common symptoms include fatigue, skin rashes, fevers, and pain or swelling in the joints. Causes of premature death associated by SLE are mainly active disease, organ failure (eg, kidneys), infection, or cardiovascular disease from accelerated atherosclerosis. The prevalence of SLE varies widely due to differences in case definitions and study methods. A conservative estimate on prevalence from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is 161,000 with definite SLE and 322,000 with definite or probable SLE. Clinical profile • Monoclonal antibody targeting type 1 IFN Anifrolumab is human monoclonal antibody that binds to subunit 1 of the type I interferon receptors (IFN) receptor, blocking the activity of all type I interferons including IFN-alpha, IFN-beta and IFN-omega. Type I interferons are cytokines involved in the inflammatory pathways. • IV formulation Between 60% and 80% of adults with SLE have an increased type I interferon gene • For efficacy results, refer to signature. the complete pivotal trial Pivotal trial data: data The safety and efficacy of anifrolumab were evaluated in three randomized, double-blind, • Common AEs: placebo-controlled studies. All patients had moderate to severe disease despite receiving Nasopharyngitis, upper standard therapy. Efficacy of anifrolumab was established based on assessment of clinical respiratory tract infections, response using the composite endpoints, the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group based bronchitis, infusion related Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) and the SLE Responder Index (SRI-4). reactions, herpes zoster, cough Study 1 randomized 305 patients. The primary endpoint was a combined assessment of the SRI-4 and the sustained reduction in oral corticosteroids (OCS). SRI-4 response was • Dosing: Every 4 weeks 62.8% in the anifrolumab treated patients vs. 38.8% in placebo patients (treatment difference: 24.0; 95% CI: 10.9, 37.2). Consistent trends in favor of anifrolumab vs. placebo, on effect of reduction of OCS use, were observed, but the difference was not statistically significant. Study 2 randomized 457 patients. The primary endpoint was improvement in disease activity evaluated at 52 weeks, measured by SRI-4. SRI-4 response was 49% in the anifrolumab treated patients vs. 43% in placebo patients (treatment difference: 6.0; 95% CI: -4.2, 16.2). This was not a statistically significant improvement.

It should be stable for at least two years. Pacritinib is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the pacritinib in the solvent of choice. Pacritinib is soluble in the organic solvent DMSO, which should be purged with an inert gas, at a concentration of approximately 0.5 mg/ml (slightly warmed). Pacritinib is sparingly soluble in aqueous solutions. To enhance aqueous solubility, dilute the organic solvent solution into aqueous buffers or isotonic saline. If performing biological experiments, ensure the residual amount of organic solvent is insignificant, since organic solvents may have physiological effects at low concentrations. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day. Description FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) are tyrosine kinases that mediate cytokine signaling and are frequently mutated in cancers, particularly acute myeloid leukemia.1,2 Pacritinib is an 1 inhibitor of both FLT3 and JAK2 (IC50s = 22 and 23 nM, respectively).

  • Santhera Announces Publication of Long-Term Clinical Data with Vamorolone in Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
    Santhera Announces Publication of Long-Term Clinical Data with Vamorolone in Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Pratteln, Switzerland, September 22, 2020 – Santhera Pharmaceuticals (SIX: SANN) announces that partner ReveraGen Biopharma Inc. and their academic collaborators have published new open-label, long-term clinical data on the safety, tolerability and efficacy of vamorolone in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). These 18-month treatment data extend previously published 24-week treatment data, and show a reduction of corticosteroid-specific side effects and sustained efficacy with vamorolone including clinical improvement through the 18-month follow-up period. This publication in the journal PLOS Medicine [1] provides peer-reviewed and detailed open-label data in patients with DMD treated for 18 months with vamorolone. A multi-center, open-label, 24-week trial (VBP15-003; [2, 3]) with a total 24-month long-term extension (VBP15-LTE; [4]) was conducted by the Cooperative International Neuromuscular Research Group (CINRG) and evaluated drug-related effects of vamorolone on motor outcomes and corticosteroid-associated safety concerns. This publication covers the 24-week Phase 2a trial (VBP15-003) and the first 12 months of the open-label extension trial (VBP15- LTE) adding up to a total treatment period of 18 months. “This long-term study showed significant continued clinical improvement of all outcomes measured over an 18-month follow-up period,” said Edward C. Smith, MD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Duke University, Durham (North Carolina, USA), clinical investigator and lead-author of the publication. “Treatment-related efficacy responses with vamorolone were similar to those seen in an external control group with corticosteroid-treated patients.
