FDA Approved Drugs: Changes to Approved Drugs

116
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,...

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Endothelin Receptor Antagonists

317
Endothelins (ETs) are potent vasoactive peptides critical in the human body's various physiological and pathological processes. One of the most promising therapeutic strategies for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) involves counteracting the effects of these endothelins using a class of drugs known as endothelin receptor antagonists.
ETs are synthesized through a complex sequence of enzymatic steps, primarily involving an enzyme referred to as endothelin-converting enzyme...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system.
  • Aquaporin 4 water channel autoantibody (AQP4-IgG) seropositivity is a key diagnostic marker for NMOSD.
  • Current treatments for NMOSD have limitations, necessitating the development of targeted therapies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the development milestones of satralizumab for NMOSD treatment.
  • To highlight the regulatory approvals and clinical development of satralizumab.
  • To provide an overview of satralizumab's journey to market.

Main Methods:

  • Review of pivotal phase III clinical trial data for satralizumab.
  • Analysis of regulatory submission and approval timelines.
  • Compilation of global development and regulatory status.

Main Results:

  • Satralizumab, a humanized anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody, demonstrated efficacy in phase III trials.
  • First global approval in Canada for AQP4-IgG seropositive NMOSD patients (adults and children ≥12 years).
  • Subsequent approvals in Japan, Switzerland, and the USA; ongoing regulatory review in the EU.

Conclusions:

  • Satralizumab represents a significant advancement in NMOSD treatment for AQP4-IgG seropositive individuals.
  • The drug's development highlights successful targeted therapy for autoimmune conditions.
  • Continued global development and regulatory reviews are anticipated for satralizumab.
