美国FDA批准伊潘立酮片Fanapt(iloperidone)上市,用于治疗精神分裂症。本品获准上市标志着对许多现有药物治疗仅部分有效的精神分裂症患者是一新的机会,本品可更好地控制他们的症状。
本品获准上市是基于伊潘立酮2项纳入3000多例患者的安慰剂对照的主动控制精神分裂症患者症状和安全性的Ⅲ期临床研究结果。伊潘立酮是混合型多巴胺D2/5-羟色胺5HT2A受体阻断剂,属非典型精神抑制药。
伊潘立酮高亲和性地结合于5-羟色胺5HT2A和多巴胺D2、D3受体(Ki值分别为5.6、6.3、7.1 nM)。
伊潘立酮对多巴胺D4和5-羟色胺5HT6、5HT7和去甲肾上腺素NEα1受体 中度亲和性(Ki值分别为25、43、22、36 nM),对5HT1A、多巴胺D1和组胺H1受体低亲和性(Ki值分别为168、216、473 nM),对胆碱能蕈毒碱受体无可检测的亲和性(Ki>1 000 nM)。
伊潘立酮通过对多巴胺D2、D3、5-羟色胺5HT1A 和去甲肾上腺素NEα1/α2c受体阻断发挥作用。伊潘立酮代谢物P88的亲和性通常≤母体化合物,而代谢物P95仅对5HT2A、NEα1A、NEα1B、NEα1D、NEα2C受体有亲和性(Ki值分别为3.91、4.7、2.7、4.7 nM)。
伊潘立酮治疗精神分裂症的疗效经过2项安慰剂对照短期(4周和6周)临床研究的评价。两项研究遴选的患者符合DSM-Ⅲ/Ⅳ标准,伊潘立酮每日12~24 mg控制精神分裂症症状显著优于安慰剂。伊潘立酮推荐剂量范围为12 ~24 mg/日.
本品剂量规格:1 mg、2 mg、4 mg、6 mg、8 mg、10 mg和12 mg/片。辅料:乳糖一水物,微晶纤维素,羟丙基甲基纤维素,交联聚乙烯吡洛烷酮,硬脂酸镁和微粉硅胶。
在为期4周的审讯后,滴定iloperidone 24mg/day安慰剂进行了比较和主动控制的药物还需要一个初始滴定阶段。主要疗效终点是在对阳性和阴性症状量表(PANSS)的总分在治疗基线(28天)结束的变化。在这项研究中,iloperidone明显优于安慰剂,也有类似的功效有效控制药物。
Manufacturer:
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp
Pharmacological Class:
Antipsychotic (piperidinyl-benzisoxazole atypical)
Active Ingredient(s):
Iloperidone 1mg, 2mg, 4mg, 6mg, 8mg, 10mg, 12mg; tabs.
The FDA has approved the atypical antipsychotic, Fanapt (iloperidone, from Vanda Pharmaceuticals), a mixed dopamine D2/serotonin 5HT2A receptor antagonist, for the acute treatment of schizophrenia in adult patients. This approval was based on data from two Phase III, placebo-controlled clinical studies comparing Fanapt to placebo and active control in more than 3,000 patients with schizophrenia. Fanapt was shown to be superior to placebo in controlling symptoms of schizophrenia based on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) total score.
Fanapt is expected to be available later this year.
Indication(s):
Acute treatment of schizophrenia.
Pharmacology:
Iloperidone is an atypical antipsychotic agent whose efficacy in the treatment of schizophrenia may be due to its antagonism at dopamine types 2 and 3 (D2, D3) and serotonin type 2A (5-HT2A) receptors in the CNS.
Clinical Trials:
Two placebo- and active-controlled clinical trials were conducted to assess the efficacy of iloperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia. A 6-week trial compared two doses ranges for iloperidone (12–16mg/day and 20–24mg/day, after titration) to placebo and an active control drug. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) total score at the end of treatment (day 42). Both dose ranges for iloperidone were superior to placebo. Within the first 2 weeks, the active control psychiatric drug appeared to be superior to iloperidone. This may be explained by the more rapid titration that was possible for that drug.
In a 4-week trial, iloperidone 24mg/day after titration was compared to placebo and an active control drug which also required an initial titration phase. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change in baseline on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score at the end of treatment (day 28). In this study, iloperidone was superior to placebo and had similar efficacy to the active control medication.
Legal Classification:
Rx
