  • Specialty Pipeline Monthly Update
    Specialty Pipeline Monthly Update Critical updates in an ever changing environment May 2019 New drug information ● Skyrizi™ (risankizumab-rzaa): AbbVie’s Skyrizi, a biologic that selectively blocks interleukin-23 (IL-23) received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of moderate-to- severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. It will directly compete with Janssen’s Tremfya® and Sun’s Illumya® in this market space as well as with other biologic drugs commonly used for plaque psoriasis (i.e., AbbVie’s Humira®, Novartis’ Cosentyx®, and J&J’s Stelara®). Skyrizi has an annual wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) of $88,500 for the first year which includes loading doses, and $59,000 yearly thereafter. AbbVie notes this is cheaper than most widely prescribed biologic treatment for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.1 ● Eticovo™ (etanercept-ykro): The second biosimilar referencing Amgen/Pfizer’s Enbrel® (etanercept) was approved by the FDA for Samsung Bioepis’ Eticovo for the treatment of certain patients with rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis; psoriatic arthritis; ankylosing spondylitis and plaque psoriasis. Sandoz’s Erelzi is also a biosimilar referencing Enbrel. Neither Samsung Bioepis or Sandoz have released their launch plans; however, depending on patent litigation Enbrel could lose exclusivity either in 2019 or 2029. ● Vyndaqel® (tafamidis meglumine) and Vyndamax™ (tafamidis): Pfizer received FDA approval for both Vyndaqel and Vyndamax, for the treatment of the cardiomyopathy of wild type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis in adults to reduce cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular- related hospitalization. The FDA approved dose is either Vyndamax 61 mg (1 capsule) once daily, or Vyndaqel 80 mg (four-20 mg capsules) once daily, both achieve the same effectiveness in cardiomyopathy.

  • Protoporphyrin IX Is a Dual Inhibitor of P53/MDM2 and P53/MDM4
    Jiang et al. Cell Death Discovery (2019) 5:77 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41420-019-0157-7 Cell Death Discovery ARTICLE Open Access Protoporphyrin IX is a dual inhibitor of p53/ MDM2 and p53/MDM4 interactions and induces apoptosis in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells Liren Jiang 1,2,3, Natasha Malik 1, Pilar Acedo 1 and Joanna Zawacka-Pankau1 Abstract p53 is a tumor suppressor, which belongs to the p53 family of proteins. The family consists of p53, p63 and p73 proteins, which share similar structure and function. Activation of wild-type p53 or TAp73 in tumors leads to tumor regression, and small molecules restoring the p53 pathway are in clinical development. Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), a metabolite of aminolevulinic acid, is a clinically approved drug applied in photodynamic diagnosis and therapy. PpIX induces p53-dependent and TAp73-dependent apoptosis and inhibits TAp73/MDM2 and TAp73/MDM4 interactions. Here we demonstrate that PpIX is a dual inhibitor of p53/MDM2 and p53/MDM4 interactions and activates apoptosis in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells without illumination and without affecting normal cells. PpIX stabilizes p53 and TAp73 proteins, induces p53-downstream apoptotic targets and provokes cancer cell death at doses non-toxic to normal cells. Our findings open up new opportunities for repurposing PpIX for treating lymphoblastic leukemia with wild-type TP53. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Introduction than women and leukemia incidence in both genders B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the increases above the age of 554. most common forms of blood cancers1,2.

Typographical corrections and clarifications. 2. Added the results of the B3461031 study indicating a lack of tafamidis effect on QTc. 3. Clarified the target sample size as 400 subjects. 4. Added “Smoking and Alcohol Classification” to the Schedule of Activities. 5. Removed Serum Amyloid A from required Screening analysis as it is an indicator of an active inflammatory process and does not contribute to defining an appropriate subject for this study. 6. Amended the Week 2 follow-up to allow for flexibility in scheduling a visit to either the investigator’s clinic or their primary care physician’s office or a visit to a local laboratory for blood collection (which would also include, a phone call). 7.
