THERAPEUTIC CLAIM Antineoplastic

http://www.ama-assn.org/resources/doc/usan/mogamulizumab.pdf  for structure

Mogamulizumab (USAN; trade name Poteligeo) is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CC chemokine receptor 4(CCR4). It has been approved in Japan for the treatment of relapsed or refractory adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.[1]

Mogamulizumab was developed by Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd.[2]

T-cell neoplasms, such as adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, are particularly aggressive and, despite novel combination chemotherapy regimens, still have extremely poor prognoses. As such, there is an unmet medical need for novel therapies and the anti-chemokine CCR4 receptor antibody mogamulizumab (KW-0761) may offer such an option for the treatment of ATL. Mogamulizumab is a humanized antibody, with a defucosylated Fc region, which enhances antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. As a result, mogamulizumab demonstrates potent antitumor activity at much lower doses than other therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. Clinical testing indicates that mogamulizumab is effective and well tolerated, with a predictable pharmacokinetic profile in patients with relapsed/refractory ATL. This drug was recently granted regulatory approval in Japan for this indication and continues to be evaluated in clinical trials in both the U.S. and Europe.

It has also been licensed to Amgen for development as a therapy for Asthma.[3]

Tokyo, Japan, July 19, 2013 — Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 4151, President and CEO: Nobuo Hanai, “Kyowa Hakko Kirin”) announced today that it has been filed an application to Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (“MHLW”) seeking approval for additional indication for untreated CCR4-positive adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL), relapsed CCR4-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) of Mogamulizumab (brand name: POTELIGEO® Injection 20 mg).

Mogamulizumab is a novel, humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4), which is over-expressed on various malignant T cells, including ATL, PTCL and CTCL cells. Engineered by Kyowa Hakko Kirin’s unique POTELLIGENT® Technology, the antibody is designed to kill its target cells through potent antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Clinical studies of Mogamulizumab in patients with untreated CCR4-positive ATL, relapsed CCR4-positive PTCL and CTCL in Japan met their primary endpoint, which allowed Kyowa Hakko Kirin to file an application. Mogamulizumab was also granted orphan drug designations for the treatment of CCR4-positive ATL in August 2010, PTCL and CTCL in March 2013 by the MHLW.

Mogamulizumab was launched in Japan with the brand name “POTELIGIO® Injection 20 mg” on May 29, 2012 for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory CCR4-positive ATL and is being investigated world-wide in a number of clinical studies for other potential indications.

Kyowa Hakko Kirin is committed to developing innovative therapeutics for treatment of a wide range of diseases with unmet medical needs, including lymphomas such as ATL, PTCL and CTCL, and contributing to the improvement of patients’ quality of life (QOL).

About CCR4 (CC chemokine receptor 4)
CCR4 is one of the chemokine receptors involved in leukocyte migration, selectively expressed in type 2 helper T (Th2) cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells. CCR4 is also shown to be over-expressed in certain hematological malignancies.

About adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL)
ATL is a peripheral T-cell malignancy and the retrovirus HTLV-1 is thought to be involved in its onset. Estimates show that around 1,150 new cases occur every year in Japan. ATL is generally treated with combination chemotherapy, such as mLSG15, but there are currently no therapeutic methods with the potential of providing a cure for ATL, although researchers are actively looking into other methods than transplantation. For relapsed/refractory cases, various chemotherapy regimens based on malignant lymphoma therapies are currently used, but an effective treatment method has yet to be established.

About Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas account for the majority of malignant lymphoma cases and can be broadly divided into disease of B-cell origin and disease of T/natural killer (NK)-cell origin. Disease of T/NK-cell origin can be classified according to the main lesion site into nodal, extranodal, cutaneous, and leukemic disease. PTCL is a general term describing nodal and extranodal disease of T/NK-cell origin.

About Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL)
CTCL is a rare, low grade type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. CTCL is one of the most common forms of T-cell lymphoma. The two most common types of CTCL are mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS). MF does not look the same in all patients and may present as skin patches, plaques, and tumors. SS is an advanced form of MF and includes the presence of malignant lymphocytes in the blood.

About POTELLIGENT®
POTELLIGENT® is Kyowa Hakko Kirin’s unique technology for the production of antibodies with enhanced ADCC activity. This technique enables production of antibodies with a reduced amount of fucose in their carbohydrate structure. Non-clinical studies have demonstrated that antibodies produced using this technology killed target cells more efficiently than conventional antibodies and exhibited stronger antitumor effects. For more information, please visit www.POTELLIGENT.com.

About antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)
ADCC is one of the body’s immune responses, initiated by binding of an antibody to its antigen on target cells, followed by lysis of the antibody-bound target cells by effector cells such as natural killer cells. ADCC is known to be one of the modes of action of therapeutic antibodies.

Orphan drug designation
A drug must meet the following three conditions in order to be granted an orphan drug designation in Japan.
1) The number of patients who may use the drug is less than 50,000 in Japan.
2) There are high medical needs for the drug (There is no appropriate alternative drug/treatment, or high efficacy or safety is expected compared with existing products).
3) There is high possibility of development (There should be a theoretical rationale for the use of the drug for the target disease, and the development plan should be appropriate). For designated orphan drugs, measures to support the research and development activities are taken (The orphan drug and orphan medical device research and development promotion program).

About mLSG15 therapy
The mLSG15 therapy is one of standard chemotherapies for ATL patients. The mLSG15 therapy generally consists of six courses. A course is the combination of the following three therapies, VCAP therapy (V: Vincristine Sulfate, C: Cyclophosphamide Hydrate, A: Doxorubicin Hydrochloride, P: Prednisolone), AMP therapy (A: Doxorubicin Hydrochloride, M: Ranimustine, P: Prednisolone) and VECP therapy (V: Vindesine Sulfate, E: Etoposide, C: Carboplatin, P: Prednisolone), which are administered at one week interval in turns. ATL patients are administrated cytarabine, methotrexate, and prednisolone intraspinally before the start of VCAP therapy of the 2,4,6 course (Intraspinal administration is to inject directly in and around the area of the spinal cord with anti-cancer agents to prevent relapsing cancer from these sites by distributing anti-cancer drugs to the brain and spinal cord). According to patient’s conditions, the reduction of the number of courses and doses of medicine may be done.

Stick insect leads antibiotic hunt, Norwich researchers say


atasteofcreole's avatarAtasteofcreole's Blog

Giant Lime Green stick insectThe gut of the Giant Lime Green stick insect could hold the key to antibiotic resistance

A microbe in the gut of a stick insect could help scientists to unravel the puzzle of antibiotic resistance.

The Giant Lime Green stick insect, which feeds mainly on eucalyptus leaves, is being studied at the John Innes Centre (JIC) in Norwich.

In the laboratory it has shown resistance to toxins and infections it could never have encountered before.

This indicates a general mechanism at work and understanding this could lead to new drugs, JIC scientists believe.

Scientists at JIC are confident studying natural processes will reveal new antibiotics.

The pressure is on to make discoveries because every year more drugs are made ineffective by microbe resistance.

Ants carry antibiotic

Professor Tony Maxwell, head of biological chemistry, said: “We have discovered the microbe in the stick insect’s gut is resistant to toxins and infections…

The Cost Of Creating A New Drug Now $5 Billion, Pushing Big Pharma To Change


Susan Desmond-Hellmann

There’s one factor that, as much as anything else, determines how many medicines are invented, what diseases they treat, and, to an extent, what price patients must pay for them: the cost of inventing and developing a new drug, a cost driven by the uncomfortable fact than 95% of the experimental medicines that are studied in humans fail to be both effective and safe.

A new analysis conducted at Forbes puts grim numbers on these costs. A company hoping to get a single drug to market can expect to have spent $350 million before the medicine is available for sale. In part because so many drugs fail, large pharmaceutical companies that are working on dozens of drug projects at once spend $5 billion per new medicine.

For people with MS, oral drugs that could address both the immune and neurological components of the disease represent a beacon of hope. “If I could take a pill, I almost wouldn’t mind having this disease,” Sommers says. Mentally gearing up for the weekly shot and the possible side effects takes its toll over the years, he says. Putting aside the syringes “would make it a lot more tolerable,” he says. “I am very excited that there might be some oral drugs down the road.”

Teriflunomide (trade name Aubagio, marketed by Sanofi, also known as A77 1726) is the active metabolite of leflunomide.[1]Teriflunomide was investigated in the Phase III clinical trial TEMSO as a medication for multiple sclerosis (MS). The study was completed in July 2010.[2] 2-year results were positive.[3] However, the subsequent TENERE head-to-head superiority trial reported that “although permanent discontinuations [of therapy] were substantially less common among MS patients who received teriflunomide compared with interferon beta-1a, relapses were more common with teriflunomide.”[4] The drug was approved by the FDA on September 13, 2012.[5]

Mechanisms of action

Teriflunomide is an immunomodulatory drug inhibiting pyrimidine de novo synthesis by blocking the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase. It is uncertain whether this explains its effect on MS lesions.[6]

Teriflunomide inhibits rapidly dividing cells, including activated T cells, which are thought to drive the disease process in MS. Teriflunomide may decrease the risk of infections compared to chemotherapy-like drugs because of its more-limited effects on the immune system.[7]

It has been found that teriflunomide blocks the transcription factor NF-κB. It also inhibits tyrosine kinase enzymes, but only in high doses not clinically used.[8]

The structure which results from ring opening can interconvert between the E and Z enolic forms (and the corresponding keto-amide), with the Z enol being the most stable and therefore most predominant form.

Formula i

Teriflunomide is an immunosuppressant, acting as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It is also evaluated in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disease and multiple sclerosis. An oral film coated tablet containing teriflunomide as the active ingredient is marked in the United States by Sanofi Aventis US using brand AUBAGIO™.

Blueberries, not fruit juice, cut type-2 diabetes risk


atasteofcreole's avatarAtasteofcreole's Blog

Eating more fruit, particularly blueberries, apples and grapes, is linked to a reduced risk of developing type-2 diabetes, suggests a study in the British Medical Journal.

Blueberries cut the risk by 26% compared with 2% for three servings of any whole fruit – but fruit juice did not appear to have the same effect.

The research looked at the diets of more than 187,000 people in the US.

But Diabetes UK said the results of the study should be treated with caution.

Researchers from the UK, US and Singapore used data from three large studies of nurses and health professionals in the US to examine the link between fruit consumption and the risk of contracting type-2 diabetes.

What is type-2 diabetes?

Diabetes is an incurable condition in which the body cannot control blood sugar levels, because of problems with the hormone insulin.

In type-2 diabetes, either the pancreas…

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Submits New Drug Application in Japan for Tolvaptan for the Treatment of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)

JUNE 10, 2013 3:46 AM

TOLVAPTAN

may 30 2013

  • Tolvaptan was discovered by Otsuka in Japan, and its primary results from a global clinical trial involving 1,400 ADPKD patients from 15 countries, which demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the rate of total kidney volume, were published in New England Journal of Medicine in 2012. It is also currently under a fast track review in the US, following our announcement of FDA accepting to review the application in April 2013.
  • ADPKD is a hereditary and often physically and mentally burdensome disease characterized by the development of multiple cysts in the kidneys. ADPKD is often associated with pain, hypertension, decreased kidney function and ultimately, kidney failure that may result in hemodialysis or kidney transplantation.
  • There are estimated to be approximately 31,000 ADPKD patients in Japan, and the diagnosed prevalence is estimated to be between 1:1000 and 1:4000 globally.

(Tokyo, Japan, May 30, 2013) – Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Today announced it filed an application with the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency in Japan (PMDA) to market its novel compound tolvaptan for the treatment of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). Phase III clinical trial results that form the basis of the regulatory filing were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in November 2012. The MHLW has designated tolvaptan as an Orphan Drug.http://www.otsuka.co.jp/en/release/2013/0603_02.html

Tolvaptan (INN), also known as OPC-41061, is a selective, competitive vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist used to treat hyponatremia (low blood sodium levels) associated withcongestive heart failurecirrhosis, and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone(SIADH). Tolvaptan was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 19, 2009, and is sold by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. under the trade name Samsca and in India is manufactured & sold by MSN laboratories Ltd. under the trade name Tolvat & Tolsama.

Tolvaptan is also in fast-track clinical trials[2] for polycystic kidney disease. In a 2004 trial, tolvaptan, when administered with traditional diuretics, was noted to increase excretion of excess fluids and improve blood sodium levels in patients with heart failure without producing side effects such as hypotension (low blood pressure) or hypokalemia(decreased blood levels of potassium) and without having an adverse effect on kidney function.[3] In a recently published trial (TEMPO 3:4 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00428948) the study met its primary and secondary end points. Tolvaptan, when given at an average dose of 95 mg per day over a 3-year period, slowed the usual increase in kidney volume by 50% compared to placebo (2.80% per year versus 5.51% per year, respectively, p<0.001) and reduced the decline in kidney function when compared with that of placebo-treated patients by approximately 30% (reciprocal serum creatinine, -2.61 versus -3.81 (mg/mL)-1 per year, p <0.001)[4]

Bayer’s Stivarga® (regorafenib) Tablets Approved in Europe


WHIPPANY, N.J. and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Bayer HealthCare and Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONXX) announced today that the European Commission has approved Stivarga® (regorafenib) tablets for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

In September 2012, Stivarga was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with mCRC who have been previously treated with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF therapy, and, if KRAS wild type, an anti-EGFR therapy.

4-[4-({[4-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbamoyl}amino)-3-fluorophenoxy]-N-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide hydrate

February 25, 2013 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today expanded the approved use of Stivarga (regorafenib) to treat patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that cannot be surgically removed and no longer respond to other FDA-approved treatments for this disease.

GIST is a tumor in which cancerous cells form in the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract, part of the body’s digestive system. According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 3,300 to 6,000 new cases of GIST occur yearly in the United States, most often in older adults.

Stivarga, a multi-kinase inhibitor, blocks several enzymes that promote cancer growth. With this new approval, Stivarga is intended to be used in patients whose GIST cancer cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and is no longer responding to Gleevec (imatinib) and Sutent (sunitinib), two other FDA-approved drugs to treat GIST.

“Stivarga is the third drug approved by the FDA to treat gastrointestinal stromal tumors,” said Richard Pazdur, M.D., director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “It provides an important new treatment option for patients with GIST in which other approved drugs are no longer effective.”

Stivarga was approved in September 2012 to treat colorectal cancer. It is marketed by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, based in Wayne, N.J. Gleevec is marketed by East Hanover, N.J.-based Novartis, and Sutent is marketed by New York City-based Pfizer.

Regorafenib (BAY 73-4506, commercial name Stivarga) is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor developed by Bayer which targets angiogenic, stromal and oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). Regorafenib shows anti-angiogenic activity due to its dual targetedVEGFR2-TIE2 tyrosine kinase inhibition. It is currently being studied as a potential treatment option in multiple tumor types.[1]

Metastatic colorectal cancer

Regorafenib demonstrated to increase the overall survival of patients with metastaticcolorectal cancer[2] and has been approved by the US FDA on September 27, 2012.[3]Stivarga is being approved with a Boxed Warning alerting patients and health care professionals that severe and fatal liver toxicity occurred in patients treated with Stivarga during clinical studies. The most common side effects reported in patients treated with Stivarga include weakness or fatigue, loss of appetite, hand-foot syndrome (also called palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia), diarrhea, mouth sores (mucositis), weight loss, infection, high blood pressure, and changes in voice volume or quality (dysphonia).[4]
