Vertex Pharmaceuticals: European Recommendation For Kalydeco Additional Mutations

Orphan Druganaut Blog

On June 27th, Vertex Pharmaceuticals gets European CHMP’s (Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use) positive opinion recommending the approval of orphan drug Kalydeco (Ivacaftor) for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients, ages 6 and older, who have 1 of the following 8 non-G551D gating mutations, in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene:

•G178R   •S549N    •S549R   •G551S   •G1244E    •S1251N   •S1255P   •G1349D.

These 8 additional mutations affects approximately 250 patients in Europe. The next step, is for the European Commission (EC), that has the authority to approve drugs for the European Union, to review the CHMP’s positive opinion. The EC usually follows the recommendation of the CHMP and issues a marketing approval within 3 – 4 months. Kalydeco receives approval in Europe in July 2012 for patients with CF ages 6 and older, who have at least 1 copy of the G551D mutation, which is the most common gating…

FDA Approves Zontivity (vorapaxar) to Reduce the Risk of Heart Attacks and Stroke

New Drug Approvals

May 8, 2014 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Zontivity (vorapaxar) tablets to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death, and need for procedures to restore the blood flow to the heart in patients with a previous heart attack or blockages in the arteries to the legs.


Zontivity is the first in a new class of drug, called a protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) antagonist. It is an anti-platelet agent, designed to decrease the tendency of platelets to clump together to form a blood clot. By decreasing the formation of blood clots, Zontivity decreases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Like other drugs that inhibit blood clotting, Zontivity increases the risk of bleeding, including life-threatening and fatal bleeding. Bleeding is the most commonly reported adverse reaction in people taking Zontivity. The drug’s prescribing information (label) includes a Boxed Warning to alert health care professionals about this…

March 19, 2014 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Impavido (miltefosine) to treat a tropical disease called leishmaniasis.

Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by Leishmania, a parasite which is transmitted to humans through sand fly bites. The disease occurs primarily in people who live in the tropics and subtropics. Most U.S. patients acquire leishmaniasis overseas.

Impavido is an oral medicine approved to treat the three main types of leishmaniasis: visceral leishmaniasis (affects internal organs), cutaneous leishmaniasis (affects the skin) and mucosal leishmaniasis (affects the nose and throat). It is intended for patients 12 years of age and older. Impavido is the first FDA-approved drug to treat cutaneous or mucosal leishmaniasis.

“Today’s approval demonstrates the FDA’s commitment to making available therapeutic options to treat tropical diseases,” said…

Cinnamon cuts blood glucose levels in diabetes patients

Lyra Nara Blog

Consumption of cinnamon is associated with favorable reductions in plasma glucose and lipid levels, according to research published in the September/October issue of the Annals of Family Medicine.

Robert W. Allen, Pharm.D., of the Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, Calif., and colleagues used data from 10 randomized, controlled trials involving 543 patients with type 2 diabetes to conduct an update of a previous systematic review and meta-analysis examining the effect of cinnamon consumption on glucose and lipid levels.

The researchers found that cinnamon, in daily doses of 120 mg/d to 6 g/d for four to 18 weeks, was associated with a significant reduction in levels of fasting plasma glucose (?24.59 mg/dL), but no significant effect on glycosylated hemoglobin. Cinnamon intake also was linked to significant changes in lipid levels, including decreases in levels of total cholesterol (?15.60 mg/dL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (?9.42 mg/dL), and triglycerides…
