简介: 美国FDA于2011年4月6日批准Horizant缓释片剂(其有效成份为gabapentin enacarbil,即1-[[[[1-(2-甲基-1-氧代丙氧基)乙氧基]甲酰]氨基]甲基]环己烷乙酸)治疗中重度不宁腿综合征(Restless legs syndrom ...

美国FDA于2011年4月6日批准Horizant缓释片剂(其有效成份为gabapentin enacarbil,即1-[[[[1-(2-甲基-1-氧代丙氧基)乙氧基]甲酰]氨基]甲基]环己烷乙酸)治疗中重度不宁腿综合征(Restless legs syndrome, RLS),用药方法为每日1次。

不宁腿综合征是一种神经系统障碍,让人迫切地需要活动双下肢。不宁腿综合征患者描述双腿IPKH有牵扯、瘙痒、针刺、灼痛等异常感觉,频繁活动双腿可暂时缓解此类不适。这些症状常发生在人不太活跃的时间,在晚上及清晨尤其严重。

FDA相关主管官员指出,不宁腿综合征患者深受疾病困扰,Horizant的批准意义重大。

之前进行过两项为期12周的临床试验对Horizant的有效性进行了研究,参加试验的均为成年不宁腿综合征患者。结果显示,与服用安慰剂的对照组相比,服用Horizant的患者症状有所减轻。

FDA同时批准了一份用药指南对Horizant的使用方法及风险进行说明。Horizant可引起困倦及眩晕,会对人驾驶汽车及操作复杂机械的能力造成影响。

Horizant含有gabapentin enacarbil成份,gabapentin enacarbil被人体吸收后会降解成gabapentin(中译名称为加巴喷丁),而gabapentin是一种治疗癫痫的药物。所有抗癫痫药都带有警示,说明其可能会引发自杀意识和行为。Horizant同样也会有这样的警示。

Horizant由葛兰素史克公司(GlaxoSmithKline)研制生产。

Horizant

GlaxoSmithKline (Research Triangle Park, NC) and XenoPort, Inc (Santa Clara, CA)

 

Indication:

The FDA approved Horizant (gabapentin enacarbil) extended-release tablets for the treatment of moderate-to-severe primary restless legs syndrome in adults. Horizant is not recommended for patients whose schedules require them to sleep during the day and remain awake at night. Horizant is not interchangeable with other gabapentin products. The recommended dose of Horizant is 600 mg once daily taken at about 5 pm with food. Patients should swallow the tablets whole and not chew, cut, or crush them.

Dosage Form:

Extended-release tablets: 600 mg

Horizant缓释片(gabapentin enacarbil)

Manufacturer:

GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals

Active Ingredient(s):

Gabapentin enacarbil 600mg; extended-release tablets.

Indication(s):

Treatment of moderate-to-severe ­primary restless legs syndrome (RLS) in adults.

Pharmacology:

Gabapentin enacarbil is a prodrug of gabapentin and, accordingly, its therapeutic effects in RLS are attributable to gabapentin. The precise mechanism by which gabapentin is ­efficacious in RLS is unknown. Gabapentin is structurally related to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) but has no effect on GABA binding, uptake, or degradation. In vitro studies have shown that gabapentin binds with high affinity to the α2δ subunit of voltage-activated calcium channels; however, the relationship of this binding to the effects of gabapentin enacarbil in RLS is unknown.

Clinical Trials:

The effectiveness of Horizant in the treatment of moderate-to-severe primary RLS was demonstrated in two 12-week clinical studies in adults diagnosed with RLS using the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group diagnostic criteria. Patients with RLS secondary to other conditions (eg, pregnancy, renal failure, iron deficiency anemia) were excluded. In Study 1, patients were randomized to receive Horizant 1200mg or placebo taken once daily at about 5pm with food. In Study 2, patients were randomized to receive Horizant 600mg, Horizant 1200mg, or placebo taken once daily at about 5pm with food.

Efficacy was evaluated using the IRLS Rating Scale and Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) scores. The IRLS Rating Scale contains 10 items designed to assess the severity of sensory and motor symptoms, sleep disturbance, daytime somnolence/sedation, and impact on activities of daily living and mood associated with RLS. The range of scores is 0 to 40, with 0 being absence of RLS symptoms and 40 the most severe symptoms. The change from baseline in the IRLS Rating Scale at Week 12 and the proportion of responders on the CGI-I Scale defined as a rating of “much improved” or “very much improved” at Week 12 were co-­primary outcomes in these studies.

Statistically significant differences between the treatment groups receiving 600mg and 1200mg of Horizant and the group receiving placebo were observed at Week 12 for both the mean change from baseline in the IRLS Scale total score (Study 1: Horizant 1200mg: –13.2, placebo: –8.8; Study 2: Horizant 600mg: –13.8, Horizant 1200mg: –13, placebo: –9.8) and the proportion of responders (“much improved” or “very much improved”) on the CGI-I Scale (Study 1: Horizant 1200mg: 76%, placebo: 39%; Study 2: Horizant 600mg: 73%, Horizant 1200mg: 77%, placebo: 45%).

Legal Classification:

Rx

Adults:

Swallow whole. Take with food. 600mg once daily at about 5pm (no additional benefit seen with 1200mg dose). If dose is not taken at recommended time, next dose should be taken the following day.
