Drug Pipeline Monthly Update Critical updates in an ever changing environment March 2018 New drug information ● Apadaz™ (benzhydrocodone/acetaminophen): KemPharm received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Apadaz for the short-term (no more than 14 days) management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate. Benzhydrocodone is a prodrug of the opioid agonist hydrocodone. KemPharm originally applied for an abuse-deterrent indication, the final approved product labelling does not include abuse-deterrent labeling as the results did not demonstrate abuse-deterrence by current measurement standards. Apadaz was scheduled as a CII, a drug that has the potential to be abused. ● ZTlido™ (lidocaine topical system): Sorrento Therapeutics received FDA approval for ZTlido for the relief of pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia also known as post-shingles pain. Up to three patches may be applied to the skin to cover the most painful area for up to 12 hours in a 24-hour period. Compared with one Lidoderm® (lidocaine patch 5%, 700 mg), one ZTlido (1.8%, 36mg) provides equivalent lidocaine exposure due to a non-aqueous adhesive material.1 ● Symfi Lo™ (efavirenz [EFV], lamivudine [3TC], and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF]): The FDA approved Mylan’s Symfi Lo as a complete regimen for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Symfi Lo contains 400 mg of EFV, 300 mg of 3TC, and 300 mg of TDF. Symfi Lo provides a complete regimen with a lower dose of efavirenz than Gilead’s Atripla® (600 mg EFV, 200 mg emtricitabine, and 300 mg TDF). Launch is expected in March or April 2018.2 Mylan plans to discount Symfi Lo’s wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) significantly from the WAC of other single tablet regimens available in the United States.3 ● Cimduo™ (lamivudine/TDF): Mylan also received approval for Cimduo, a 2-drug combination of 3TC and TDF to be used in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. CimDuo is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2018.2 Mylan will set Cimduo’s WAC at a significant discount compared to other tenofovir-based double combination products available in the US.3 While the information in this newsletter is from sources we believe to be reliable, we do not warrant that the information in this document is free from error.
