Novartis Receives FDA Approval for New Heart Failure Drug

Novartis, a global pharmaceutical company, has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its new heart failure drug, called Entresto XR. This approval expands the use of the company’s existing heart failure drug, Entresto, by making it available in an extended-release form. Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. It affects millions of people worldwide and is a leading cause of hospitalization and death. Entresto XR is a once-daily tablet that combines two medications, sacubitril and valsartan, to reduce the strain on the heart and improve its ability to pump blood. The FDA’s approval of Entresto XR was based on the results of a clinical trial that involved over 5,000 patients with heart failure. The trial showed that Entresto XR was superior to the standard of care, enalapril, in ...

NICE approves funding for Novartis gene therapy

Funding is for onasemnogene abeparvovec and concerns babies with spinal muscular atrophy NICE has published final draft guidance regarding the recommendation of routine NHS funding for onasemnogene abeparvovec. The treatment is a potentially curative one-off gene therapy for treating a rare genetic condition, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It will be used specifically among babies aged up to 12 months, before they develop symptoms. The drug – also known as Zolgensma – is produced by Novartis Gene Therapies. The recommendation has emerged after NICE reviewed the evidence to determine whether it should be available for routine NHS funding in England and Wales. Onasemnogene abeparvovec is designed to address the genetic cause of SMA and its effects are thought to be life-long. Under NICE’s original guidance, released in 2021, it was recommended for babies before they develop symptoms of SMA as part of a managed access agreement (MAA). The agreement ensured that ...

Novartis’ Cosentyx wins NICE backing for non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis

Novartis’ Cosentyx has been recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for the treatment of adults with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA). NICE has recommended Cosentyx (secukinumab) as an option for the treatment of active nr-axSpA with objective signs of inflammation that is not controlled well enough with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in adults. The IL-17A inhibitor is recommended only if tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors are not suitable or do not control the condition well enough. “Axial SpA is a painful and progressive long-term condition affecting approximately one in 200 people in the UK,” said Dale Webb, chief executive of the UK’s National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society (NASS). “Axial SpA can result in long-term pain, impaired mobility and fatigue. Earlier diagnosis and treatment can have a significant impact on the progression of the condition and people’s long-term outcomes, and NASS welcomes new treatment options,” he added. The ...

Novartis bags EU, UK licences for MS therapy Kesimpta

Novartis has received green lights from both the European Commission and the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to market its multiple sclerosis (MS) therapy Kesimpta (ofatumumab). The drug is a fully human anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) thought to work by binding to a distinct epitope on the CD20 molecule, inducing potent B-cell lysis and depletion. It enables faster repletion of B cells versus other anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies and so may offer flexibility in the management of RMS, according to the drugmaker. As per its licence, Kesimpta can be used to treat adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS) with active disease, defined by clinical or imaging features. Novartis says it has the potential to become a recognised treatment option for eligible UK patients that can be self-administered, with initial guidance from an appropriately trained healthcare professional, once monthly at home via the Sensoready autoinjector pen. Initial ...

Novartis UK and digital health company Cievert have announced a digital innovation partnership to help streamline the management of rheumatological and dermatological diseases.
