Endo Presents New XIAFLEX® (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) Data at the 2019 Fall Meeting of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA)
DUBLIN, Oct. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo International plc (NASDAQ: ENDP) today announced that five new studies of XIAFLEX(®) (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) for the treatment of Peyronie's disease will be presented as poster presentations at the 20(th) Annual Fall Meeting of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) in Nashville, TN, October 24 - 27, 2019. One of the studies will also be presented as a Moderated (Oral) Poster Presentation on October 25. The studies are available on the SMSNA meeting website at http://www.smsna.org/V1/meetings/20th-annual-fall-scientific-meeting-of-smsna/program/scientific-program.
"These new analyses continue to support the potential of Peyronie's disease treatment with XIAFLEX(®), the first and only therapy approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat this intimate condition," said Matthew Davis, M.D., R.Ph., Endo's Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer. "We are encouraged by these findings and we are committed to educating physicians and patients about possible outcomes for Peyronie's disease treatments."
XIAFLEX(®) data to be presented include:
-- Penile Surgery is Associated with a Higher Rate of Penile Complications
and Pain Medication Use Compared to Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum
in Patients with Peyronie's Disease (Abstract #158) (Moderated (Oral)
Poster Presentation)
-- Therapeutic Trends in the Management of Patients with Peyronie's Disease
(Abstract #352) (Moderated E-Poster)
-- Likelihood of Subsequent Penile Surgery for Patients with Peyronie's
Disease Previously Treated with Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum or
Penile Surgery (Abstract #384) (Moderated E-Poster)
-- Long-term Curvature Deformity Characterization in Patients Previously
Treated With Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum for Peyronie's Disease
by Plaque Calcification (Abstract #350) (Moderated E-Poster)
-- Retrospective Claims Analysis of Patients' Characteristics Affecting the
Choice of Treatment Among Patients with Peyronie's Disease (Abstract
#348) (Moderated E-Poster)
XIAFLEX(®) PD Professional Indication and Important Safety Information
Indication
XIAFLEX(®) is indicated for the treatment of adult men with Peyronie's disease with a palpable plaque and curvature deformity of at least 30 degrees at the start of therapy.
Important Safety Information for
XIAFLEX
(R)
WARNING: CORPORAL RUPTURE (PENILE
FRACTURE) OR OTHER SERIOUS PENILE
INJURY IN THE TREATMENT OF PEYRONIE'S
DISEASE
Corporal rupture (penile fracture) was
reported as an adverse reaction in 5 of
1044 (0.5%) XIAFLEX
(R)
-treated patients in clinical
studies. In other XIAFLEX
(R)
-treated patients (9 of
1044; 0.9%), a combination of penile
ecchymoses or hematoma, sudden penile
detumescence, and/or a penile
"popping" sound or sensation was
reported, and in these cases, a
diagnosis of corporal rupture cannot be
excluded. Severe penile hematoma was
also reported as an adverse reaction in
39 of 1044 (3.7%) XIAFLEX
(R)
-treated patients.
Signs or symptoms that may reflect
serious penile injury should be
promptly evaluated to assess for
corporal rupture or severe penile
hematoma which may require surgical
intervention.
Because of the risks of corporal rupture
or other serious penile injury,
XIAFLEX
(R)
is
available for the treatment of
Peyronie's disease only through a
restricted program under a
Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy
(REMS) called the XIAFLEX
(R)
REMS Program.
---
-- XIAFLEX(®) is contraindicated in the treatment of Peyronie's plaques
that involve the penile urethra due to potential risk to this structure
and in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to XIAFLEX(®) or to
collagenase used in any other therapeutic application or application
method
-- Injection of XIAFLEX(®) into collagen-containing structures such as the
corpora cavernosa of the penis may result in damage to those structures
and possible injury such as corporal rupture (penile fracture).
Therefore, XIAFLEX(®) should be injected only into the Peyronie's
plaque and care should be taken to avoid injecting into the urethra,
nerves, blood vessels, corpora cavernosa or other collagen-containing
structures of the penis
-- In the double-blind, placebo-controlled portions of the clinical trials
in Peyronie's disease, a greater proportion of XIAFLEX(®)-treated
patients (4%) compared to placebo-treated patients (1%) had localized
pruritus after up to 4 treatment cycles (involving up to 8 XIAFLEX(®)
injection procedures). The incidence of XIAFLEX(®)-associated pruritus
was similar after each injection regardless of the number of injections
administered
-- Because XIAFLEX(®) contains foreign proteins, severe allergic reactions
to XIAFLEX(®) can occur. Anaphylaxis was reported in a post-marketing
clinical trial in one patient who had previous exposure to XIAFLEX(®)
for the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture. Healthcare providers
should be prepared to address severe allergic reactions following
XIAFLEX(®) injections. The safety of more than one treatment course of
XIAFLEX(®) is not known
-- In the XIAFLEX(®) controlled trials in Peyronie's disease, 65.5% of
XIAFLEX(®)-treated patients developed penile hematoma, and 14.5%
developed penile ecchymosis. Patients with abnormal coagulation (except
for patients taking low-dose aspirin, eg, up to 150 mg per day) were
excluded from participating in these studies. Therefore, the efficacy
and safety of XIAFLEX(®) in patients receiving anticoagulant
medications (other than low-dose aspirin, eg, up to 150 mg per day)
within 7 days prior to XIAFLEX(®) administration is not known. In
addition, it is recommended to avoid use of XIAFLEX(®) in patients with
coagulation disorders, including patients receiving concomitant
anticoagulants (except for low-dose aspirin)
-- In the XIAFLEX(®) clinical trials for Peyronie's disease, the most
frequently reported adverse drug reactions (>=25%) and at an incidence
greater than placebo included: penile hematoma, penile swelling, and
penile pain
