Takeda picks up 2nd FDA-approved indication for immune globulin treatment HyQvia

It was a decade and four companies ago that HyQvia was first approved by the FDA for primary immunodeficiency (PI). Ten years later, Takeda’s subcutaneous immune globulin treatment has scored its second indication, as the FDA has approved it as a maintenance therapy for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). A progressive neurological disorder, CIDP causes weakness and reduced feeling in the arms and legs. In 2014, when it was owned by Baxter, HyQvia was endorsed to treat adults with PI, an umbrella term referring to 400-plus rare diseases that can affect the immune system. Then in April of last year, Takeda won a label expansion to treat children ages 2 to 16. The approval for CIDP was based on a phase 3 trial that enrolled 122 adults. The study showed that 14% of those on HyQvia relapsed, compared with 32% of those on placebo. Another phase 3 trial assessed the ...

Vertex, CRISPR’s gene-editing therapy Casgevy wins early FDA nod to treat beta thalassemia

Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics have scored an FDA approval for their gene-editing therapy Casgevy (exa-cel) to treat transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT). The approval comes less than six weeks after the U.S. regulator signed off on Casgevy to treat patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). With the TDT nod, Casgevy becomes the first treatment for the rare blood disorder using CRISPR gene-editing technology. Bluebird Bio also gained approval in 2022 for its gene therapy, Zynteglo, to treat TDT. The endorsement arrived more than two months early as an FDA decision was due on March 30. “On the heels of the historic FDA approval of Casgevy for sickle cell disease, it is exciting to now secure approval for TDT well ahead of the PDUFA date,” Reshma Kewalramani, M.D., Vertex’s CEO said in a release. The companies have opened nine authorized treatment centers (ATCs) to administer Casgevy to patients, Vertex said. Each ...

FDA yet to find link between suicidal risk and GLP-1RA use

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released an update on its evaluation of suicidal risk related to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). The agency did not find a clear link to suicidal risk through a review of reports of suicidal thoughts or actions received in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System agency (FAERS) and a meta-analysis of GLP-1 RA clinical trials. Looking at FAERS data, regulators found that reported incidents were often limited in the information provided and did not offer enough evidence to determine a clear relationship with GLP-1 RA use. Furthermore, the large outcome studies and observational studies showed no association between suicidal thoughts or actions and the use of the drug class. Despite this, the agency said that due to the small number of suicidal ideation cases, it would not yet definitively rule out a potential link with GLP-1RA use. The FDA will share its ...

FDA’s early review finds no evidence linking Novo, Lilly weight-loss drugs to suicidal thoughts

A preliminary evaluation by the FDA found no evidence that use of popular diabetes and weight-loss drugs from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly can cause suicidal thoughts, the U.S. regulator said. Over the last several months, the agency has been looking into reports of suicidal thoughts or actions from users of the GLP-1 treatments gathered through its FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), it said. “Because the information provided was often limited and because these events can be influenced by other potential factors, we determined that the information in these reports did not demonstrate a clear relationship with the use of (GLP-1s),” the FDA wrote. The agency said its reviews of clinical trials and observational studies found no association between the treatments and suicidal thoughts. Ten days ago, the FDA drew attention when it included the trendy therapies on a list of medicines it said it was monitoring for side ...

FDA’s Preliminary Review of GLP-1 Meds Finds No Tie to Suicidal Thoughts, Actions

An FDA inquiry has found no evidence so far that GLP-1 drugs for diabetes and weight loss cause suicidal thoughts or actions. The review was prompted by reports in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, or FAERS, a database that collects information about adverse events that may be linked to a medication. A report in FAERS does not establish causation, nor has information in the reports been verified. The FDA said on Thursday that over the last several months, it has reviewed reports of suicidal thoughts or actions in FAERS as well as data from clinical trials. The information in these reports was limited and can be influenced by other factors, the FDA said. Consequently, the agency said it determined the reports did not demonstrate a clear relationship with GLP-1 drugs. This finding is preliminary. “However, because of the small number of suicidal thoughts or actions observed in both people ...

FDA clears painful diabetic neuropathy neurostim therapy from Neuralace

Neuralace Medical announced today that it received FDA clearance for its chronic painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) treatment. San Diego–based Neuralace says this marks the first-ever FDA clearance of a non-invasive, magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (mPNS) treatment for PDN. The company says its Axon Therapy could offer “new hope” to millions with the condition. Axon Therapy uses mPNS to deliver a quick, painless and non-invasive treatment in sessions lasting just 13.5 minutes, according to Neuralace. Each session utilizes magnetic pulses to provide relief for a potential improvement in pain management. Neuralace said a recent trial of 71 patients demonstrated efficiency, plus significant improvements in subject outcomes. The company believes its therapy represents a paradigm shift in PDN treatment. Axon Therapy offers a non-pharmacological and non-invasive option that could reduce dependence on medications and their associated side effects. The company says FDA clearance paves the way for broader access to innovative pain ...

FDA rips MiMedx with warning letter for its placental collagen wound-care treatment

The FDA hit MiMedx Group with a warning letter, citing the maker of regenerative biomaterials products for the classification of its placental collagen matrix designed to treat wounds found in surgical settings. In its letter (PDF), the FDA said MiMedx’s Axiofill doesn’t fall under Section 361 of the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) Act, which allows lower-risk and minimally processed cell- and tissue-based products to be sold under fewer regulatory requirements. Instead, the product should fall under Section 351 of the law, which regulates products such as biologics that require pre-market approval, according to the agency. In essence, the FDA has taken the stance that Axiofill is an unlicensed biological product. “Based upon this information, we have determined that your actions have violated the [Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act] and the PHS Act,” the regulatory agency said. The FDA issued the letter after visiting two MiMedx sites in Georgia ...

FDA clears penicillin imports from French drugmaker amid Pfizer shortage

With U.S. syphilis cases on the rise and Pfizer’s Bicillin treatment still in short supply, France’s Laboratoires Delbert is stepping in to help with temporary imports. The French drugmaker is working with the FDA to bring in shipments of its Extencilline to the U.S. The product, while not approved in the U.S., is made up of penicillin G benzathine (or benzathine benzylpenicillin), which Pfizer has branded as Bicillin. In a letter (PDF) published by the FDA, Laboratoires Delbert noted that it will import 1,200,000 units of its powdered Extencilline and 2,400,000 units of the diluent version for reconstitution for injection. The meds are manufactured in Italy and both lots have an expiration date of 2025. Bicillin is used for an array of bacterial infections such as strep throat, but it’s the preferred treatment for syphilis and gonorrhea. The FDA first reported a shortage of the treatment in April. In June, ...
