FDA Approved Drugs: Changes to Approved Drugs

293
Post-approval, manufacturers may modify an approved new or generic drug product. Such modifications can encompass alterations in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), manufacturing process, formulation, batch size, manufacturing site, and container closure system (FDA Guidance for Industry, April 2004). Often, a drug product may undergo multiple changes.These modifications require careful evaluation to determine their potential impact on the drug product's identity, strength, quality,...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.3K
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Direct-Acting Cholinergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses

1.9K
Direct-acting cholinergic agonists have many therapeutic uses in various medical fields. Choline esters, including acetylcholine, have limited clinical utility due to their non-selectivity and short duration of action. Still, acetylcholine and carbachol are applied topically during ophthalmologic surgery to induce miosis. Pilocarpine, a muscarinic and ganglionic stimulator, effectively treats open-angle glaucoma and alleviates xerostomia and dry mouth caused by radiotherapy or Sjögren...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

40.7K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

4.4K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology and Bone Metabolism
  • Pharmacology
  • Drug Development

Background:

  • Postmenopausal osteoporosis poses a significant fracture risk.
  • Abaloparatide is a synthetic peptide analogue of human parathyroid hormone-related protein.
  • It functions as an osteoanabolic agent targeting the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the development milestones of abaloparatide.
  • To highlight its first approval for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of abaloparatide's development pathway.
  • Analysis of its mechanism of action (selective PTH1R activation).
  • Documentation of regulatory milestones, including US FDA approval.

Main Results:

  • Subcutaneous abaloparatide gained US approval in April 2017.
  • Approval is for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture.
  • A Marketing Authorization Application is under review by the European Medicines Agency.

Conclusions:

  • Abaloparatide represents a significant advancement in osteoporosis treatment.
  • Its development pathway highlights successful drug innovation.
  • Ongoing development includes a transdermal formulation for broader patient access.
