简介: 2014年3月21日,美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准Otezla(apremilast)治疗有活动性银屑病关节炎(PsA)成年。PsA是一种关节炎的形式影响有银屑病的有些人。大多数人首次发生银屑病而后被诊断有 PsA。关节痛 ...

近日,新基(Celgene)口服药物OTEZLA(APREMILAST)TABLET ORAL获FDA批准,用于适合光疗和系统疗法的中度至重度斑块型银屑病(Plaque Psoriasis)成人患者的治疗。Otezla是一种口服、选择性磷酸二酯酶4(PDE4)抑制剂,该药是FDA批准的首个也是唯一一个用于斑块型银屑病治疗的PDE4抑制剂。
Otezla将为广泛的斑块型银屑病患者群体提供一种有价值的治疗选择,包括以前使用过生物制剂或常规系统性药物治疗的患者群体。银屑病(psoriasis)是一种由不受控免疫反应导致的皮肤慢性炎症性疾病,全球患者总数超过1.25亿人。
Otezla的获批,是基于2项研究(ESTEEM-1和ESTEEM-2)的主要疗效和安全性数据。这2项研究均为多中心、随机、双盲、安慰剂对照研究,在中度至重度斑块型银屑病(Plaque Psoriasis)成人患者中开展。研究中,Otezla使患者斑块型银屑病病情取得了显著且具有临床意义的改善。此前,FDA已于今年3月批准Otezla用于活动性银屑病性关节炎(PsA)成人患者的治疗。
关于Otezla(apremilast):
Otezla(apremilast)是一种口服小分子磷酸二酯酶(PDE4)抑制剂,在细胞内调控促炎症和抗炎介质的网络。PDE4是一种环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)特异性PDE,是炎性细胞中主要的PDE。PDE4抑制可提升细胞内cAMP水平,通过调控TNF-α、IL-23和其他炎性细胞因子的表达相应下调炎性反应。cAMP升高也会增加抗炎细胞因子,例如IL-10。

10-mg pink tablet engraved with “APR” on one side and “10” on the other side
20-mg brown tablet engraved with “APR” on one side and “20” on the other side
30-mg beige tablet engraved with “APR” on one side and “30” on the other side.
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
OTEZLA is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to apremilast or to any of the excipients in the formulation [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Depression
Treatment with OTEZLA is associated with an increase in adverse reactions of depression. Before using OTEZLA in patients with a history of depression and/or suicidal thoughts or behavior prescribers should carefully weigh the risks and benefits of treatment with OTEZLA in such patients. Patients, their caregivers, and families should be advised of the need to be alert for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or other mood changes, and if such changes occur to contact their healthcare provider. Prescribers should carefully evaluate the risks and benefits of continuing treatment with OTEZLA if such events occur.
Psoriatic arthritis: During the 0 to 16 week placebo-controlled period of the 3 controlled clinical trials, 1.0% (10/998) of subjects treated with OTEZLA reported depression or depressed mood compared to 0.8% (4/495) treated with placebo. During the clinical trials, 0.3% (4/1441) of subjects treated with OTEZLA discontinued treatment due to depression or depressed mood compared with none in placebo treated subjects (0/495). Depression was reported as serious in 0.2% (3/1441) of subjects exposed to OTEZLA, compared to none in placebo-treated subjects (0/495). Instances of suicidal ideation and behavior have been observed in 0.2% (3/1441) of subjects while receiving OTEZLA, compared to none in placebo treated subjects (0/495). In the clinical trials, 2 subjects who received placebo committed suicide compared to none in OTEZLA-treated subjects.
Psoriasis: During the 0 to 16 week placebo-controlled period of the 3 controlled clinical trials, 1.3% (12/920) of subjects treated with OTEZLA reported depression compared to 0.4% (2/506) treated with placebo. During the clinical trials, 0.1% (1/1308) of subjects treated with OTEZLA discontinued treatment due to depression compared with none in placebo-treated subjects(0/506). Depression was reported as serious in 0.1% (1/1308) of subjects exposed to OTEZLA, compared to none in placebo-treated subjects (0/506). Instances of suicidal behavior have been observed in 0.1% (1/1308) of subjects while receiving OTEZLA, compared to 0.2% (1/506) in placebo-treated subjects. In the clinical trials, one subject treated with OTEZLA attempted suicide while one who received placebo committed suicide.
5.2 Weight Decrease
During the controlled period of the studies in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), weight decrease between 5%-10% of body weight was reported in 10% (49/497) of subjects treated with OTEZLA 30 mg twice daily compared to 3.3% (16/495) treated with placebo [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
During the controlled period of the trials in psoriasis, weight decrease between 5%-10% of body weight occurred in 12% (96/784) of subjects treated with OTEZLA compared to 5% (19/382) treated with placebo. Weight decrease of ≥10% of body weight occurred in 2% (16/784) of subjects treated with OTEZLA 30 mg twice daily compared to 1% (3/382) subjects treated with placebo.
Patients treated with OTEZLA should have their weight monitored regularly. If unexplained or clinically significant weight loss occurs, weight loss should be evaluated, and discontinuation of OTEZLA should be considered.
5.3 Drug Interactions
Co-administration of strong cytochrome P450 enzyme inducer, rifampin, resulted in a reduction of systemic exposure of apremilast, which may result in a loss of efficacy of OTEZLA. Therefore, the use of cytochrome P450 enzyme inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, phenytoin) with OTEZLA is not recommended [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Psoriatic Arthritis Clinical Trials
OTEZLA was evaluated in 3 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials [Studies PsA-1, PsA-2, and PsA-3] of similar design in adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Across the 3 studies, there were 1493 patients randomized equally to placebo, OTEZLA 20 mg twice daily or OTEZLA 30 mg twice daily. Titration was used over the first 5 days [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. Placebo patients whose tender and swollen joint counts had not improved by at least 20% were re-randomized 1:1 in a blinded fashion to either OTEZLA 20 mg twice daily or 30 mg twice daily at week 16 while OTEZLA patients remained on their initial treatment. Patients ranged in age from 18 to 83 years, with an overall median age of 51 years.
The majority of the most common adverse reactions presented in Table 2 occurred within the first 2 weeks of treatment and tended to resolve over time with continued dosing. Diarrhea, headache, and nausea were the most commonly reported adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation for patients taking OTEZLA were nausea (1.8%), diarrhea (1.8%), and headache (1.2%). The proportion of patients with psoriatic arthritis who discontinued treatment due to any adverse reaction was 4.6% for patients taking OTEZLA 30 mg twice daily and 1.2% for placebo-treated patients.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1 Strong CYP450 Inducers
Apremilast exposure is decreased when OTEZLA is co-administered with strong CYP450 inducers (such as rifampin) and may result in loss of efficacy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1 Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category C:
Pregnancy Exposure Registry
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to OTEZLA during pregnancy. Information about the registry can be obtained by calling 1-877-311-8972.
Risk Summary
Adequate and well-controlled studies with OTEZLA have not been conducted in pregnant women. In animal embryo-fetal development studies, the administration of apremilast to cynomolgus monkeys during organogenesis resulted in dose-related increases in abortion/embryo-fetal death at dose exposures 2.1-times the maximum recommended human therapeutic dose (MRHD) and no adverse effect at an exposure of 1.4-times the MRHD. In mice, there were no apremilast induced malformations up to exposures 4.0-times the MRHD. The incidences of malformations and pregnancy loss in human pregnancies have not been established for OTEZLA. However, all pregnancies, regardless of drug exposure, have a background rate of 2% to 4% for major malformations, and 15% to 20% for pregnancy loss. OTEZLA should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Clinical Considerations
Labor or delivery
The effects of OTEZLA on labor and delivery in pregnant women are unknown. In mice, dystocia was noted at doses corresponding to ≥4.0-times the MRHD (on an AUC basis at doses ≥80 mg/kg/day) of apremilast.
Animal Data
Monkey embryo-fetal development: In an embryo-fetal developmental study, cynomolgus monkeys were administered apremilast at doses of 20, 50, 200, or 1000 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis (gestation Days 20 through 50). There was a dose-related increase in spontaneous abortions, with most abortions occurring during weeks 3 to 4 of dosing in the first trimester, at doses approximately 2.1-times the MRHD and greater (on an AUC basis at doses ≥50 mg/kg/day). No abortifacient effects were observed at a dose approximately 1.4-times the MRHD (on an AUC basis at a dose of 20 mg/kg/day). Although, there was no evidence for a teratogenic effect at doses of 20 mg/kg/day and greater when examined at day 100, aborted fetuses were not examined.
Mouse embryo-fetal development: In an embryo-fetal development study, apremilast was administered at doses of 250, 500, or 750 mg/kg/day to dams during organogenesis (gestation Day 6 through 15). In a combined fertility and embryo-fetal development study, apremilast was administered at doses of 10, 20, 40 or 80 mg/kg/day starting 15 days before cohabitation and continuing through gestation Day 15. No teratogenic findings attributed to apremilast were observed in either study; however, there was an increase in postimplantation loss at doses corresponding to a systemic exposure of 2.3-times the MRHD and greater (≥20 mg/kg/day). At doses of ≥20 mg/kg/day skeletal variations included incomplete ossification sites of tarsals, skull, sternebra, and vertebrae. No effects were observed at a dose approximately 1.3-times the MRHD (10 mg/kg/day).
Mouse pre- and postnatal development: In a pre- and postnatal study in mice, apremilast was administered to pregnant female mice at doses of 10, 80, or 300 mg/kg/day from Day 6 of gestation through Day 20 of lactation, with weaning on day 21. Dystocia, reduced viability, and reduced birth weights occurred at doses corresponding to ≥4.0-times the MRHD (on an AUC basis at doses ≥80 mg/kg/day). No adverse effects occurred at a dose 1.3-times the MRHD (10 mg/kg/day). There was no evidence for functional impairment of physical development, behavior, learning ability, immune competence, or fertility in the offspring at doses up to 7.5-times the MRHD (on an AUC basis at a dose of 300 mg/kg/day).
8.3 Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether OTEZLA or its metabolites are present in human milk; however apremilast was detected in milk of lactating mice. Because many drugs are present in human milk, caution should be exercised when OTEZLA is administered to a nursing woman.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of OTEZLA in pediatric patients less than 18 years of age have not been established.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Of the 1493 subjects who enrolled in Studies PsA-1, PsA-2, and PsA-3 a total of 146 psoriatic arthritis subjects were 65 years of age and older, including 19 subjects 75 years and older. No overall differences were observed in the safety profile of elderly subjects ≥65 years of age and younger adult subjects <65 years of age in the clinical studies.
Of the 1257 subjects who enrolled in two placebo-controlled psoriasis trials (PSOR 1 and PSOR 2), a total of 108 psoriasis subjects were 65 years of age and older, including 9 subjects who were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences were observed in the efficacy and safety in elderly subjects ≥65 years of age and younger adult subjects <65 years of age in the clinical trials.
8.6 Renal Impairment
Apremilast pharmacokinetics were characterized in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment as defined by a creatinine clearance of 60-89, 30-59, and less than 30 mL per minute, respectively, by the Cockcroft–Gault equation. While no dose adjustment is needed in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment, the dose of OTEZLA should be reduced to 30 mg once daily in patients with severe renal impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8.7 Hepatic Impairment
Apremilast pharmacokinetics were characterized in subjects with moderate (Child Pugh B) and severe (Child Pugh C) hepatic impairment. No dose adjustment is necessary in these patients.
10 OVERDOSAGE
In case of overdose, patients should seek immediate medical help. Patients should be managed by symptomatic and supportive care should there be an overdose.
11 DESCRIPTION
The active ingredient in OTEZLA tablets is apremilast. Apremilast is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor. Apremilast is known chemically as N-[2-[(1S)-1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-1H-isoindol-4-yl]acetamide. Its empirical formula is C22H24N2O7S and the molecular weight is 460.5.
The chemical structure is:


OTEZLA tablets are supplied in 10-, 20-, and 30-mg strengths for oral administration. Each tablet contains apremilast as the active ingredient and the following inactive ingredients: lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, talc, iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow (20 and 30 mg only) and iron oxide black (30 mg only).
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Apremilast is an oral small-molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) specific for cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). PDE4 inhibition results in increased intracellular cAMP levels. The specific mechanism(s) by which apremilast exerts its therapeutic action in psoriatic arthritis patients and psoriasis patients is not well defined.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
Apremilast when taken orally is absorbed with an absolute bioavailability of ~73%, with peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) occurring at a median time (tmax) of ~2.5 hours. Co-administration with food does not alter the extent of absorption of apremilast.
Distribution
Human plasma protein binding of apremilast is approximately 68%. Mean apparent volume of distribution (Vd) is 87 L.
Metabolism
Following oral administration in humans, apremilast is a major circulating component (45%) followed by inactive metabolite M12 (39%), a glucuronide conjugate of O-demethylated apremilast.  It is extensively metabolized in humans with up to 23 metabolites identified in plasma, urine and feces.  Apremilast is metabolized by both cytochrome (CYP) oxidative metabolism with subsequent glucuronidation and non-CYP mediated hydrolysis.  In vitro, CYP metabolism of apremilast is primarily mediated by CYP3A4, with minor contributions from CYP1A2 and CYP2A6.
Elimination
The plasma clearance of apremilast is about 10 L/hr in healthy subjects, with a terminal elimination half-life of approximately 6-9 hours. Following oral administration of radio-labeled apremilast, about 58% and 39% of the radioactivity is recovered in urine and feces, respectively, with about 3% and 7% of the radioactive dose recovered as apremilast in urine and feces, respectively.
Specific Populations
Hepatic Impairment: The pharmacokinetics of apremilast is not affected by moderate or severe hepatic impairment.
Renal Impairment: The pharmacokinetics of apremilast is not affected by mild or moderate renal impairment. In 8 subjects with severe renal impairment administered a single dose of 30 mg apremilast, the AUC and Cmax of apremilast increased by approximately 88% and 42%, respectively [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].
Age: A single oral dose of 30-mg apremilast was studied in young adults and elderly healthy subjects. The apremilast exposure in elderly subjects (65 to 85 years of age) was about 13% higher in AUC and about 6% higher in Cmax than in young subjects (18 to 55 years of age). [See Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].
Gender: In pharmacokinetic studies in healthy volunteers, the extent of exposure in females was about 31% higher and Cmax was about 8% higher than that in male subjects.
Race and Ethnicity: The pharmacokinetics of apremilast in Chinese and Japanese healthy male subjects is comparable to that in Caucasian healthy male subjects. In addition, apremilast exposure is similar among Hispanic Caucasians, non-Hispanic Caucasians, and African Americans.
Drug Interactions
In vitro data: Apremilast is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4 and not an inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4.  Apremilast is a substrate, but not an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and is not a substrate or an inhibitor of organic anion transporter (OAT)1 and OAT3, organic cation transporter (OCT)2, organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1 and OATP1B3, or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).
Drug interaction studies were performed with apremilast and CYP3A4 substrates (oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate), CYP3A and P-gp inhibitor (ketoconazole), CYP450 inducer (rifampin) and frequently co-administered drug in this patient population (methotrexate).
No significant pharmacokinetic interactions were observed when 30-mg oral apremilast was administered with either oral contraceptive, ketoconazole, or methotrexate.  Co-administration of the CYP450 inducer rifampin (600 mg once daily for 15 days) with a single oral dose of 30-mg apremilast resulted in reduction of apremilast AUC and Cmax by 72% and 43%, respectively [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Drug Interactions (7.1)].
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Long-term studies were conducted in mice and rats with apremilast to evaluate its carcinogenic potential.  No evidence of apremilast-induced tumors was observed in mice at oral doses up to 8.8-times the Maximum Recommended Human Dose (MRHD) on an AUC basis (1000 mg/kg/day) or in rats at oral doses up to approximately 0.08- and 1.1-times the MRHD, (20 mg/kg/day in males and 3 mg/kg/day in females, respectively).
Apremilast tested negative in the Ames assay, in vitro chromosome aberration assay of human peripheral blood lymphocytes, and the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay.
In a fertility study of male mice, apremilast at oral doses up to approximately 3-times the MRHD based on AUC (up to 50 mg/kg/day) produced no effects on male fertility. In a fertility study of female mice, apremilast was administered at oral doses of 10, 20, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day. At doses ≥1.8-times the MRHD (≥20 mg/kg/day), estrous cycles were prolonged, due to lengthening of diestrus which resulted in a longer interval until mating. Mice that became pregnant at doses of 20 mg/kg/day and greater also had increased incidences of early postimplantation losses. There was no effect of apremilast approximately 1.0-times the MRHD (10 mg/kg/day).
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1 Psoriatic Arthritis
The safety and efficacy of OTEZLA was evaluated in 3 multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (Studies PsA-1, PsA-2, and PsA-3) of similar design. A total of 1493 adult patients with active PsA (≥3 swollen joints and ≥3 tender joints) despite prior or current treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy were randomized. Patients enrolled in these studies had a diagnosis of PsA for at least 6 months. One qualifying psoriatic skin lesion of at least 2 cm in diameter was required in Study PsA- 3. Previous treatment with a biologic, including TNF-blockers was allowed (up to 10% could be TNF-blocker therapeutic failures). Across the 3 studies, patients were randomly assigned to placebo (n=496), OTEZLA 20 mg (n=500), or OTEZLA 30 mg (n=497) given orally twice daily. Titration was used over the first 5 days [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].  Patients were allowed to receive stable doses of concomitant methotrexate [MTX (≤25 mg/week)], sulfasalazine [SSZ (≤2 g/day)], leflunomide [LEF (≤20 mg/day)], low dose oral corticosteroids (equivalent to ≤10 mg of prednisone a day), and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during the trial. Treatment assignments were stratified based on small-molecule DMARD use at baseline in Studies PsA-1, PsA-2 and PsA-3. There was an additional stratification of BSA >3% with psoriasis in study PsA-3. The patients who were therapeutic failures of >3 agents for PsA (small molecules or biologics), or >1 biologic TNF blocker were excluded.
The primary endpoint was the percentage of patients achieving American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response at Week 16. Placebo-controlled efficacy data were collected and analyzed through Week 24. Patients whose tender and swollen joint counts had not improved by at least 20% were considered non-responders at Week 16. Placebo non-responders were re-randomized 1:1 in a blinded fashion to either OTEZLA 20 mg twice daily or 30 mg twice daily following the titration schema [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. OTEZLA patients remained on their initial treatment. At Week 24, all remaining placebo patients were re-randomized to either 20 mg twice daily or 30 mg twice daily.
Patients with subtypes of PsA were enrolled across the 3 studies, including symmetric polyarthritis (62.0%), asymmetric oligoarthritis (27.0%), distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint arthritis (6.0%), arthritis mutilans (3.0%), and predominant spondylitis (2.1%). The median duration of PsA disease was 5 years. Patients received concomitant therapy with at least one DMARD (65.0%), MTX (55.0%), SSZ (9.0%), LEF (7.0%), low dose oral corticosteroids (14.0%), and NSAIDs (71.0%). Prior treatment with small-molecule DMARDs only was reported in 76.0% of patients and prior treatment with biologic DMARDs was reported in 22.0% of patients, which includes 9.0% who had failed prior biologic DMARD treatment.
Clinical Response in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis
The percent of patients achieving ACR 20, 50 and 70 responses in Studies PsA-1, PsA-2, and PsA-3 are presented in Table 4 below. OTEZLA ± DMARDs, compared with Placebo ± DMARDs resulted in a greater improvement in signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis as demonstrated by the proportion of patients with an ACR 20 response at Week 16.

Treatment with OTEZLA resulted in improvement in dactylitis and enthesitis in patients with pre-existing dactylitis or enthesitis.
Physical Function Response
OTEZLA 30 mg twice daily demonstrated a greater improvement compared to placebo in mean change from baseline for the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) score at Week 16 [-0.244 vs. -0.086, respectively; 95% CI for the difference was (-0.26, -0.06)] in Study PsA-1.  The proportions of HAQ-DI responders (≥0.3 improvement from baseline) at Week 16 for the OTEZLA 30 mg twice daily group were 38%, compared to 27%, for the placebo group in Study PsA-1. Consistent results were observed in Studies PsA-2 and PsA-3.
14.2 Psoriasis
Two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (Studies PSOR-1 and PSOR-2) enrolled a total of 1257 subjects 18 years of age and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis [body surface area (BSA) involvement of ≥10%, static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) of ≥3 (moderate or severe disease), Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score ≥12, candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy]. Subjects were allowed to use low-potency topical corticosteroids on the face, axilla and groin. Subjects with scalp psoriasis were allowed to use coal tar shampoo and/or salicylic acid scalp preparations on scalp lesions.
Study PSOR-1 enrolled 844 subjects and Study PSOR-2 enrolled 413 subjects. In both studies, subjects were randomized 2:1 to OTEZLA 30 mg BID or placebo for 16 weeks. Both studies assessed the proportion of subjects who achieved PASI-75 at Week 16 and the proportion of subjects who achieved a sPGA score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) at Week 16. Across both studies, subjects ranged in age from 18 to 83 years, with an overall median age of 46 years. The mean baseline BSA involvement was 25.19% (median 21.0%), the mean baseline PASI score was 19.07 (median 16.80), and the proportion of subjects with sPGA score of 3 (moderate) and 4 (severe) at baseline were 70.0% and 29.8%, respectively. Approximately 30% of all subjects had received prior phototherapy and 54% had received prior conventional systemic and/or biologic therapy for the treatment of psoriasis with 37% receiving prior conventional systemic therapy and 30% receiving prior biologic therapy. Approximately one-third of subjects had not received prior phototherapy, conventional systemic nor biologic therapy. A total of 18% of subjects had a history of psoriatic arthritis.
Clinical Response in Subjects with Plaque Psoriasis
The proportion of subjects who achieved PASI -75 responses, and sPGA score of clear (0) or almost clear (1), are presented in Table 6.

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION
Depression
Before using OTEZLA in patients with a history of depression and/or suicidal thoughts or behavior, prescribers should carefully weigh the risks and benefits of treatment with OTEZLA in such patients. Patients, their caregivers, and families should be advised of the need to be alert for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or other mood changes, and if such changes occur to contact their healthcare provider. Prescribers should carefully evaluate the risks and benefits of continuing treatment with OTEZLA if such events occur. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Weight Decrease
Patients treated with OTEZLA should have their weight monitored regularly. If unexplained or clinically significant weight loss occurs, weight loss should be evaluated, and discontinuation of OTEZLA should be considered [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Drug Interactions
The use of strong cytochrome P450 enzyme inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, phenytoin) with OTEZLA is not recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3), Drug Interactions (7.1), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Instruct patients to take OTEZLA only as prescribed.
Advise patients OTEZLA can be taken with or without food.
Advise patients that the tablets should not be crushed, split, or chewed.

美国食品药品管理局核准OralOTEZLA(apremilast)用于治疗中重度斑块状银屑病患者
• III期研究显示,OTEZLA可使斑块状银屑病出现显著的、有临床意义的改善
• 各项临床试验均显示,OTEZLA具有一致的安全性和耐受性
新泽西州萨米特 -- (美国商业资讯) -- Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ: CELG)今天宣布,美国食品药品管理局(FDA)已核准该公司的磷酸二酯酶4 (PDE4) 选择性抑制剂口服制剂OTEZLA® (apremilast)用于治疗适用于光疗或全身疗法的中重度斑块状银屑病患者。OTEZLA是首个也是唯一获准用于治疗斑块状银屑病的PDE4抑制剂。银屑病是免疫反应失控所致的皮肤慢性炎性疾病,全球患病人数超过1.25亿。
Dartmouth-Hitchcock医疗中心皮肤科主任M. Shane Chapman博士说:“OTEZLA为现有治疗无法充分改善症状的患者提供了重要的新治疗选择。临床试验显示,OTEZLA可减少中重度斑块状银屑病患者的红斑、增厚和脱屑。由于该产品说明书没有要求进行实验室常规监测,口服OTEZLA可能是那些正在寻求不同治疗体验的患者和医生欢迎的新选择。”
OTEZLA获批主要基于2项多中心、安慰剂对照、随机双盲研究的安全性和有效性结果—— ESTEEM 1和ESTEEM 2——受试者为 中重度斑块状银屑病成人患者:体表面积(BSA)受累≥10%、医师静态总评(sPGA) of ≥3(中重度疾病)、银屑病面积和严重程度指数 (PASI)评分≥12以及适用于光疗或全身疗法。
Celgene Corporation炎症和免疫部总裁Scott Smith说:“OTEZLA为广大斑块状银屑病患者提供了有价值的治疗选择,包括初治患者和经治患者,以及既往用过生物制剂或传统全身药物的患者。FDA核准OTEZLA用于斑块状银屑病,加上既往核准用于银屑病关节炎,体现了Celgene拓展科研疆域、从而改善全球慢性炎性疾病患者生活的承诺。”
ESTEEM研究显示,OTEZLA治疗16周后,按PASI评分衡量,斑块状银屑病的改善有统计学意义和临床意义。按sPGA评分衡量,2项研究均显示有临床改善(消失至几乎消失)。
3项临床试验的1,426例患者中评估了OTEZLA的安全性。OTEZLA的副作用有腹泻、恶心、上呼吸道感染、紧张性头痛和头痛。患者若在启用OTEZLA之前有抑郁症或自杀行为的病史,或在服用OTEZLA期间有上述病况或其他心境变化之发生或加重,均须告知医生。患者服用OTEZLA期间须定期测量体重。
国立银屑病基金会总裁兼首席执行官Randy Beranek说:“银屑病是严重的自身免疫障碍,常有合并症。有效治疗银屑病是掌控患者整体健康的重要组成部分。类似OTEZLA这样的新治疗至关重要,患者因此有了更多的选择,能够与他们的提供者密切合作适合自身的最佳治疗。”
OTEZLA®在美国通过一个专科药店组成的完整网络进行发售和配方。有关OTEZLA分销和排他性治疗支持服务(包括理赔协助和24/7护士支持)的进一步信息,医师和患者请联系Otezla SupportPlus™ ,
2014年3月21日,美国食品药品管理局(FDA)核准OTEZLA用于活动性银屑病关节炎成人患者的治疗。 用于银屑病关节炎的新药申报(NDS)在2013年第二季度递交给加拿大卫生部门。加拿大的银屑病NDS、欧洲的银屑病关节炎/银屑病联合上市授权申请(MAA)均在2013年第四季度递交给卫生部门。
关于 ESTEEM
ESTEEM 1和2是两项大样本、枢纽性、安慰剂对照随机III期研究,评估OTEZLA用于中重度斑块状银屑病患者,患者在筛选之前已获诊至少12个月,且为光疗和/或全身疗法的候选者。约1,250例患者先经过5天剂量递增阶段,然后按2:1比例随机接受OTEZLA 30毫克每天2次或安慰剂,治疗16周,然后是维持期,从第16周持续至第32周,期间安慰剂组患者换用OTEZLA 30毫克每天2次直至第32周,第32~52周是应答者的随机撤药期, 根据他们的最初OTEZLA随机分配和PASI-75应答。
关于OTEZLA
OTEZLA是磷酸二酯酶4 (PDE4)的小分子抑制剂口服制剂,特定作用于单磷酸环腺苷酸(cAMP)。PDE4抑制可导致细胞内cAMP水平升高,后者据信可间接调控炎症介质的生成。OTEZLA对银屑病或银屑病关节炎患者发挥治疗作用的特定机制并未明确。
适应证
OTEZLA® (apremilast) 适用于治疗中重度斑块状银屑病患者,这些患者也是光疗或全身疗法的候选者。
OTEZLA也适用于治疗活动性银屑病关节炎成人患者。
其他重要安全性信息
已知对apremilast或OTEZLA的任何成份有变态反应的患者不得服用OTEZLA。服用OTEZLA期间,不得服用某些药物,因为它们可能降低OTEZLA的疗效。患者须将自己服用的所有药物告知医生,包括处方药和非处方药。女性须将自己是否妊娠、或是否打算哺乳告知医生。OTEZLA尚未在妊娠女性或哺乳女性中进行过研究。这些并非OTEZLA的全部可能的副作用。患者须向医生询问有关其他潜在的副作用,并将困扰自己或无法消除的任何副作用告知医生。
建议患者向FDA上报处方药的不良副作用。请访问www.fda.gov/medwatch或拨打1-800-332-1088。
关于银屑病
银屑病是免疫介导的非传染性慢性炎性皮肤病,病因不明。该病为慢性复发性疾病,严重程度不一,轻者为局限性斑块,重者殃及全身。斑块状银屑病是银屑病最常见类型。约80%的银屑病患者为斑块状银屑病,外观为突起的、红色的皮肤斑块,被银白色鳞片覆盖。斑块常形成于肘部、膝部、下背部和头皮。银屑病的男女患病率接近。全球银屑病患者估计有1.25亿。
