טבע תציג נתונים חדשים מתוך מגוון תחומים טיפוליים במסגרת הכנס השנתי ה-69 של האקדמיה האמריקאית לנוירולוגיה

שתי מצגות פלטפורמה ו-19 פוסטרים יעסקו בפוטנציאל של fremanezumab  כטיפול מחקרי למניעת מיגרנה

נתונים אודות ®COPAXONE (זריקת גלטירמר אצטט) ו- ®AUSTEDO (טבליות deutetrabenazine) מציגים את התקדמות המחקר הקליני של טבע

ירושלים, 17 באפריל 2018 – טבע תעשיות פרמצבטיות בע"מ (NYSE ו-TASE: TEVA) הודיעה היום כי 38 תקצירים מדעיים על פני חמש מחלות קשות לטיפול של מערכת העצבים המרכזית יוצגו בכנס השנתי ה-70 של האקדמיה האמריקאית לנוירולוגיה (AAN), שיערך בלוס אנג'לס ב-21 עד ה-27 באפריל 2018.

"הנתונים המוצגים בכנס AAN מייצגים את הידע שלנו בחקר ופיתוח טיפולים מורכבים עבור הפרעות של מערכת העצבים המרכזית, בעיקר כאלו אשר להן עוד יש צורך עצום ללא מענה," אמר ד"ר טושאר שאה, סמנכ"ל בכיר, ראש פיתוח קליני ועניינים רפואיים עבור תרופות ייחודיות בטבע." ."המחקר המתמשך שלנו משקף את מטרתה של טבע לפתח פתרונות חדשניים אשר מטרתם לאפשר לאנשים לחיות ימים טובים יותר."

בין 21 התקצירים שנתקבלו העוסקים במיגרנה, 19 כוללים נתונים נוספים מתוך תכנית המחקר הקליני בשלב 3 המכונה HALO עבור fremanezumab נוגדן חד שבטי הנקשר לקלציטונין פפטיד של הגן (anti-CGRP) הנבחן כעת כטיפול למניעת מיגרנה. נתונים אלה בחנו את פרופיל היעילות, הבטיחות והסבילות של fremanezumab עבור מיגרנה כרונית וארעית. המחקרים כללו מטופלים הנוטלים fremanezumab לבד או בשילוב עם תרופות מניעתיות אחרות. 

נתונים נוספים תורמים עוד להבנה המדעית של היעילות, הבטיחות והסבילות של COPAXONE® (זריקת גלטירמר אצטט) לטיפול בסוגים התקפיים של טרשת נפוצה (RMS), כולל תוצאות בנות שבע שנים ממחקר GALA, וכן תקציר הבוחן תוצאות בקרב נשים בהריון הסובלות מ- RMS אשר נחשפו ל- COPAXONE® 20 מ"ג/מ"ל במשך כל שלישי ההריון. טבע תציג נתונים גם לגבי טבליות AUSTEDO® (טבליות deutetrabenazine) המספקים תובנות קליניות מהעולם האמיתי אל השימוש עבור כוריאה הקשורה למחלת הנטינגטון ודיסקינזיה מאוחרת בבוגרים, שתי הפרעות תנועה אשר לעתים קרובות לא זוכות למענה הולם.

About COPAXONE® (glatiramer acetate injection)

COPAXONE® is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Please click here for U.S. Full Prescribing Information: www.CopaxonePrescribingInformation.com. COPAXONE® is approved in more than 50 countries worldwide, including the United States, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Israel, and all European countries.

Important Safety Information about COPAXONE®

COPAXONE® is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to glatiramer acetate or mannitol.

Approximately 16% of patients exposed to COPAXONE® 20 mg per mL compared to 4% of those on placebo, and approximately 2% of patients exposed to COPAXONE® 40 mg per mL compared to none on placebo experienced a constellation of symptoms that may occur within minutes after injection and included at least 2 of the following:  flushing, chest pain, palpitations, tachycardia, anxiety, dyspnea, throat constriction, and urticaria. In general, these symptoms have their onset several months after the initiation of treatment, although they may occur earlier, and a given patient may experience 1 or several episodes of these symptoms. Typically, the symptoms were transient and self-limited and did not require treatment; however, there have been reports of patients with similar symptoms who received emergency medical care.

Transient chest pain was noted in 13% of COPAXONE® 20 mg per mL patients compared to 6% of placebo patients, and approximately 2% of COPAXONE® 40 mg per mL patients compared to 1% on placebo.  While some episodes of chest pain occurred in the context of the Post-Injection Reaction described above, many did not. The temporal relationship of this chest pain to an injection was not always known. The pain was usually transient, often unassociated with other symptoms, and appeared to have no clinical sequelae. Some patients experienced more than 1 such episode, and episodes usually began at least 1 month after the initiation of treatment.

At injection sites, localized lipoatrophy and, rarely, injection site skin necrosis may occur. Lipoatrophy may occur at various times after treatment onset (sometimes after several months) and is thought to be permanent. There is no known therapy for lipoatrophy.

Because COPAXONE® can modify immune response, it may interfere with immune functions.  For example, treatment with COPAXONE® may interfere with recognition of foreign antigens in a way that would undermine the body’s tumor surveillance and its defenses against infection. There is no evidence that COPAXONE® does this, but there has not been a systematic evaluation of this risk.

In controlled studies of COPAXONE® 20 mg per mL, the most common adverse reactions with COPAXONE® vs placebo were injection site reactions (ISRs), such as erythema (43% vs 10%); vasodilatation (20% vs 5%); rash (19% vs 11%); dyspnea (14% vs 4%); and chest pain (13% vs 6%).

In a controlled study of COPAXONE® 40 mg per mL, the most common adverse reactions with COPAXONE® vs placebo were ISRs, such as erythema (22% vs 2%). 

ISRs were one of the most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of COPAXONE®.  ISRs, such as erythema, pain, pruritus, mass, edema, hypersensitivity, fibrosis, and atrophy, occurred at a higher rate with COPAXONE® than placebo.

About AUSTEDO® (deutetrabenazine)

AUSTEDO® is a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia in adults and for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

Important Safety Information

AUSTEDO® can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington’s disease. Anyone considering the use of AUSTEDO® must balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. AUSTEDO® is contraindicated in patients with Huntington’s disease who are suicidal, or have untreated or inadequately treated depression.

AUSTEDO® is also contraindicated in: patients with hepatic impairment; patients taking reserpine or within 20 days of discontinuing reserpine; patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOI therapy; and patients taking tetrabenazine (Xenazine®) or valbenazine (Ingrezza®).

AUSTEDO® may cause a worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, and functional capacity in patients with Huntington’s disease. Tetrabenazine (a closely related VMAT2 inhibitor) causes an increase in the corrected QT (QTc) interval. A clinically relevant QT prolongation may occur in some patients treated with AUSTEDO® who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers or are co-administered a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor or other drugs that are known to prolong QTc. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome has been observed in patients receiving tetrabenazine. AUSTEDO® may increase the risk of akathisia, agitation, and restlessness. AUSTEDO® may cause parkinsonism in patients with Huntington’s disease. Sedation is a common dose-limiting adverse reaction of AUSTEDO®.

The most common adverse reactions (4% of AUSTEDO®-treated patients and greater than placebo) in controlled clinical studies of patients with tardive dyskinesia were nasopharyngitis and insomnia. The most common adverse reactions (>8% of AUSTEDO®-treated patients and greater than placebo) in a controlled clinical study of patients with chorea associated with Huntington’s disease were somnolence, diarrhea, dry mouth, and fatigue.

About Fremanezumab

Fremanezumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting the CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) ligand, currently being investigated as a preventive treatment for migraine. With limited availability of preventive treatment options, fremanezumab represents a potential new option to address a significant unmet medical need.

Fremanezumab is also being investigated for the prevention of chronic and episodic cluster headache as part of the Phase III ENFORCE clinical research program, which has been granted fast track designation by the FDA. Fast track designation is intended to facilitate development and expedite review of drugs to treat serious or life-threatening conditions. Additionally, Teva has also recently initiated a fremanezumab Phase II clinical program for the treatment of post-traumatic headache disorder.
