The FDA has approved blinatumomab (Blincyto) for treating adult and pediatric patients one month or older with CD19-positive Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in the consolidation phase. This bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) therapy targets CD19 surface antigens on B cells, allowing T cells to recognize and eliminate malignant B cells. The approval was based on the Phase 3 E1910 trial showing improved overall survival with blinatumomab plus chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone.
The FDA has approved roflumilast cream 0.15% (Zorvye) for treating mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in patients aged 6 years and older. This steroid-free, once-daily topical treatment is a selective, highly potent phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor designed for long-term disease control. The approval was based on phase 3 studies showing significant improvements in disease clearance, itch reduction, and overall skin condition compared to the vehicle group.
The FDA has approved a new 6mg single-dose prefilled syringe for faricimab-svoa (Vabysmo), facilitating easier administration for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Faricimab-svoa is a VEGF and Ang-2 inhibitor, now available in a ready-to-use format. This approval provides an alternative to the existing single-dose vial and is granted to Genentech.
The FDA is set to decide on OX124, a high-dose naloxone nasal rescue medication designed to reverse opioid overdoses, with the PDUFA date set for July 15, 2024. Developed by Orexo, OX124 offers rapid absorption, high bioavailability, and enhanced stability, addressing the critical need for potent rescue medications due to the high rate of synthetic opioid overdoses. If approved, OX124's launch is anticipated later in 2024.
The FDA accepted an NDA for vonoprazan (Voquezna) tablets for treating heartburn associated with Non-Erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults, with the PDUFA date set for July 19, 2024. Vonoprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB) offering an alternative to traditional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Non-Erosive GERD, affecting 38 million U.S. adults, is characterized by reflux-related symptoms without esophageal mucosal erosions, impacting quality of life with symptoms like heartburn and chest pain.
