FDA Approved Drugs: Changes to Approved Drugs

32
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: Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and Calcium Channel Blockers

292
Receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are two critical categories of drugs employed in the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). PAH is a disease that causes high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, resulting in chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
TKIs, such as imatinib (Gleevec), are particularly effective in tackling the growth and mitogenic factors that become upregulated in PAH patients. These factors contribute to the...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pharmacology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Cholangiocarcinoma is a challenging cancer with limited treatment options.
  • Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) alterations are implicated in various cancers, including cholangiocarcinoma.
  • Targeted therapies offer a promising avenue for FGFR-driven malignancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the key development milestones of infigratinib.
  • To highlight the regulatory approval of infigratinib for advanced cholangiocarcinoma.
  • To underscore the significance of FGFR-targeted therapy in oncology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of preclinical and clinical development data for infigratinib.
  • Analysis of regulatory submission and approval process in the USA.
  • Summary of infigratinib's mechanism of action as an FGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Main Results:

  • Infigratinib (TRUSELTIQ™) received US FDA approval for previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma.
  • Approval is specifically for tumors with an FGFR2 fusion or other rearrangement.
  • The development pathway involved significant research and clinical trials.

Conclusions:

  • Infigratinib represents a new targeted therapy option for cholangiocarcinoma patients with specific genetic alterations.
  • The approval signifies progress in precision medicine for FGFR-driven cancers.
  • Further research may explore infigratinib's efficacy in other FGFR-driven conditions.
