Adverse events associated with analgesics used for osteoarthritis pain: analysis of post-marketing data

Abstract Background Ibalizumab-uiyk (IBA) was recently approved for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant HIV-1 infection in patients (pts) failing other antiretroviral regimens. Clinical trial data demonstrated a decrease in HIV-1 viral load in 83% and 43% of patients (n = 40) receiving IBA for 2 and 25 weeks (weeks), respectively. Real-world post marketing data are needed. This pilot study reports the experience of IBA utilization in POICs. Methods Medical records of patients receiving intravenous IBA from approval through April 2019 were reviewed. Data collected include demographics, infection and treatment history, IBA regimen and adverse events. Plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load (log10 copies/mL) and CD4 count (cells/µL) were collected at baseline and as available during therapy. Based on available follow-up (FU) labs, response was assessed at 4–10 weeks (FU 1), 14–22 weeks (FU 2), and 24–37 weeks (FU 3). Results Nine patients (mean age: 48 ± 11 years, 67% male) from 7 POICs received IBA for a median duration of 33 weeks (range 4–43). Median length of HIV-1 diagnosis was 22 years (range 8–25). Resistance to ≥1 drug in at least 3 drug classes was reported in 56%. All patients received at least one concurrent anti-retroviral agent. IBA was initiated at 2000 mg followed by 800 mg every 2 weeks. All patients received infusions as scheduled (151 total infusions) except for one requiring a second loading dose. Baseline mean CD4 count and viral load were 49 cells/µL and 4.9 log10 copies/mL, respectively. Labs obtained at FU 1 indicated a decrease in viral load of at least 0.5 log10 copies/mL in 6/8 patients (75%); a mean reduction of 2.1 ± 1.8 log10 copies/mL (Table 1). Mean HIV-1 titers available for patients at FU 2 (n = 6) and FU 3 (n = 7) were 3.1 ± 2.0 and 3.2 ± 2.6 log10 copies/mL, respectively. Mean CD4 counts were 65 ± 57 cells/µL at FU 1, 96 ± 61 cells/µL at FU 2 and 88 ± 82 cells/µL at FU 3. Adverse events were reported in 8 patients (89%), most common itching/rash, diarrhea and abdominal pain. None resulted in discontinuation of IBA. Conclusion This study confirms the antiviral activity of IBA in patients with advanced HIV-1 infection in the real-world setting. We observed well-tolerated therapy with an early reduction in HIV-1 viral load of 75%, followed by a 43% reduction ≥24 weeks, consistent with the clinical trial.

Abstract Background This study evaluated characteristics of patients treated with abemaciclib and diagnosed with interstitial lung disease (ILD), using 12-month post-marketing data from the real-world setting in Japan. Methods Spontaneous reports of adverse events in patients receiving abemaciclib were collected regularly from healthcare providers (HCPs) from November 30, 2018, to November 29, 2019. Detailed follow-up was requested on suspected ILD cases via questionnaires and/or interviews. Radiological images (when available) were reviewed by an ILD adjudication committee of specialists. The age distribution of patients prescribed abemaciclib in Japan was estimated based on insurance claims data. Results Of 4700 patients estimated to be exposed to abemaciclib, 82 cases of ILD were reported (46 serious, 13 fatal). Most (91%) had ≥ 1 symptom at diagnosis, commonly dyspnea/shortness of breath (59%), cough (44%), and/or fever (37%). The majority (68%) received steroid therapy (24 [56%] recovered/recovering; 5 [12%] not recovered; 13 [30%] deaths, 1 [2.3%] unknown). No specific imaging patterns or sites of predilection were identified, but a diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) pattern was observed at outcome in 3 of 4 evaluated fatal cases (16 in total evaluated). Features of fatal cases included advanced age, pre-existing interstitial change, and advanced Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status. Conclusion Advanced age and a DAD pattern were identified as potential risk factors for cases with poorer outcomes, as previously reported for drug-induced ILD. HCPs should consider the benefit–risk profile when prescribing abemaciclib, informing patients of risks and regularly monitoring treated patients to ensure early detection and treatment of ILD.

Abstract Background This post marketing surveillance, observational, prospective, safety study evaluated the safety, tolerability and long term immunogenicity of prescribed usage of Darbepoetin alfa, (DA-α, manufactured by Hetero Biopharma) in Indian patients with chronic kidney disease with anemia.Methods All patients with anemia of chronic kidney disease prescribed Hetero-Darbepoetin were the target patient population. The present study gathered the data from 503 Hetero-Darbepoetin alfa prescribed patients. This study collected information of patient demography, patient's medical history, concomitant medications, action taken with respect to Hetero-Darbepoetin-alfa, AE details (AE term, start date, stop date, severity, action taken, outcome and causality), periodic Hemoglobin (Hb) levels and abnormal laboratory tests results until treatment is discontinued or the patient is lost to follow-up. Immunogenicity data was collected in 121 patients at the end of treatment and after 1 year. Statistical analyses were performed to explore and analyze details of individual case safety reports of adverse events such as incidence, severity, seriousness, outcome, duration, action taken, and causality relationship of individual adverse event (AE) to the prescribed study drug. Results 87 AEs were reported in this study and most of them were mild to moderate in intensity. No deaths or serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in this study. Anti-drug antibodies were not detected in any subject at the end of treatment phase and after 12 months long term follow up period. Baseline mean Hemoglobin value was 8.34 (SD 1.24) g/dL and last visit mean Hemoglobin value was 10.42 (SD 1.28) g/dL. The mean difference between baseline and last visit was 2.10 [2.00, 2.20], statistically significant (p-value <.0001). Conclusions The safety and tolerability of the usage of DA-α (manufactured by Hetero Biopharma) is similar to that reported in the published literature of the innovator. No patients showed anti-drug antibodies after treatment. Additionally, the patients also showed significant improvement in hemoglobin levels, compared to baseline.Clinical Trial Registry Number: CTRI/2017/04/008338 [Registered on CTRI http://ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/login.php : 12/04/2017]; Trial Registered Retrospectively

Abstract Introduction The awareness of sleep disorders having negative health consequences, including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack and stroke, has sharply escalated in recent years. Traditional treatments, including benzodiazepenes, non-benzodiazepenes, anti-depressants and non-prescription first-generation antihistamines, come with limitations in efficacy, safety and tolerability. The search for non-drug alternatives continues. The novel, well tolerated CRA-melatonin was shown in a randomized, crossover, pharmacokinetic (PK) study versus the leading marketed melatonin to achieve quick uptake and then continuous release and absorption for up to 7 hours. No safety or tolerability issues were observed. The Remfresh Safety Update at 24 months (REMSU24), a real-world safety surveillance study was conducted to confirm the previously observed safety profile of CRA-melatonin. Methods An independent call center with pharmacovigilance-trained health care personnel in accordance with FDA guidelines on properly reporting events, was retained to receive and record customer questions, product issues and adverse events (AEs). The study was conducted from March 9, 2017 to March 9, 2019. Results An estimated 320,255 patients used CRA-melatonin during the surveillance period. There were no serious AEs. The self-reporting rates of non-serious AEs were low with only 51 events recorded, a 0.016% event rate. The two most frequent AEs, headaches and nightmares are known comorbidities of insomnia. As background, there had been no treatment emergent adverse events for CRA-melatonin in the PK trial. Conclusion CRA-melatonin’s extended 7-hour PK profile may be an effective and well-tolerated baseline therapy to improve sleep. These results confirm the favorable safety and tolerability trend observed in the PK study. In REMSU24, the scatter of reported adverse events could not be separated from what could be expected in the untreated general population. Support This study was supported by Physician’s Seal LLC
