制造商: Amturnide approved for treatment of hypertension Novartis announced that the FDA has approved Amturnide (aliskiren, amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide tablets), a fixed-dose combination therapy for the treatment of hypertension in patients who are not adequately controlled on any two of the following antihypertensive drug classes: direct renin inhibitor, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics. This approval was based on data from a double-blind, active controlled study conducted on 1,181 patients with moderately elevated blood pressure (mean systolic blood pressure [mSBP] 160—179mmHg) or severely elevated blood pressure (mSBP≥ 180mmgHg) that showed Armturnide produced significantly greater reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both patient populations compared to three dual combination therapies. Armturnide yielded a further mean reduction in systolic blood pressure/diastolic blood pressure of 9.9/6.3mmHg, 7.2/3.6mmgHg, and 6.6/2.6mmHg, respectively, compared to each of the following dual combination therapies: alikskiren/hydrochlorothiazide, amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide, and aliskiren/amlodipine. AMTURNIDE Manufacturer:Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp Pharmacological Class:Renin inhibitor + dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) + thiazide diuretic. Active Ingredient(s):Aliskiren hemifumarate/amlodipine besylate/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ); 150/5/12.5mg; 300/5/12.5mg; 300/5/25mg; 300/10/12.5mg; 300/10/25mg; tablets. Indication(s):Hypertension. Not for initial therapy. Pharmacology:Aliskiren decreases plasma renin activity and inhibits the formation of angiotensin I. Amlodipine is a peripheral arterial vasodilator that lowers BP by reducing peripheral resistance. HCTZ increases the excretion of sodium and chloride. Clinical Trials:A study involving 1181 treated hypertensive patients was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Amturnide. Patients who were assigned to dual-combination therapy received aliskiren/amlodipine 150/5mg, aliskiren/HCTZ 150/12.5mg, or amlodipine/HCTZ 5/12.5mg. Patients assigned to Amturnide received aliskiren/HCTZ 150/12.5mg. After 3 days, Amturnide patients were titrated to aliskiren/amlodipine/HCTZ 150/5/12.5mg, while other patients continued on their original doses. After 4 weeks, all patients were titrated to aliskiren/amlodipine/HCTZ 300/10/25mg, aliskiren/amlodipine 300/10mg, aliskiren/HCTZ 300/25mg, or amlodipine/HCTZ 10/25mg. Patients given Amturnide had greater reductions in BP than any other of the three dual-combination treatments. In the 408 patients who were classified as severely hypertensive at baseline, Amturnide produced greater reductions than any of the three dual-combination regimens. In this group, the reductions in SBP/DBP with Amturnide were 16.3/8.2mmHg greater than with aliskiren/HCTZ, 9.6/4.8mmHg greater than with amlodipine/HCTZ, and 11.4/4.9mmHg greater than with aliskiren/amlodipine. Legal Classification:Rx Adults:Take once daily. Titrate at 2-week intervals (slower in renal or hepatic impairment); max one 300/10/25mg tablet daily. Replacement: may substitute for individually titrated components. Add-on/switch: if not adequately controlled on any two of the following: aliskiren, dihydropyridine CCB, thiazide diuretics. May switch with a lower dose of any component that causes dose-limiting ADRs. ≥75 years or severe hepatic impairment: initially amlodipine 2.5mg/day (not available). Children:Not recommended. Contraindication(s):Anuria. Sulfonamide allergy. Warnings/Precautions:Pregnancy (Cat.D; avoid). Severe renal dysfunction (CrCl <30mL/min): not recommended. Correct salt/volume depletion before starting, or start under close supervision. SLE. Severe obstructive coronary disease: increased risk of angina or MI with CCB dose change. Heart failure. Renal artery stenosis. Monitor electrolytes. Nursing mothers: not recommended. Interaction(s):Aliskiren: concomitant cyclosporine, itraconazole: not recommended; antagonized by irbesartan; potentiated by atorvastatin, ketoconazole; may antagonize furosemide. ACE inhibitors, K+ supplements, K+ sparing diuretics, K+ containing salts increase hyperkalemia risk. HCTZ: orthostatic hypotension with alcohol, other CNS depressants; may need to adjust antidiabetic agents; ACTH, corticosteroids increase hypokalemia risk; lithium toxicity; antagonized by NSAIDs. Adverse Reaction(s):Peripheral edema, dizziness, headache, nasopharyngitis; rare: angioedema (discontinue if occurs, do not restart); acute myopia, secondary angle closure glaucoma (discontinue if occurs). How Supplied:Tabs—30, 90, 100 |
