UCB Presents New Data Demonstrating Commitment to Epilepsy at 2019 American Epilepsy Society Meeting
ATLANTA, Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- UCB today announced 14 posters have been selected for presentation at this year's American Epilepsy Society Meeting, taking place in Baltimore, Maryland, December 6-10. The UCB scientific program includes the presentation of clinical data describing BRIVIACT(®) (brivaracetam) CV, VIMPAT(®) (lacosamide) CV, and NAYZILAM(®) (midazolam) Nasal Spray CIV, now available in the U.S. for the acute treatment of intermittent, stereotypic episodes of frequent seizure activity (i.e., seizure clusters, acute repetitive seizures) that are distinct from a patient's usual seizure pattern in patients with epilepsy 12 years of age and older.(1 )Concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death.
During the meeting, posters on epilepsy research are also scheduled for presentation, as well as UCB's developmental drug candidate, padsevonil. Padsevonil is not yet approved by the FDA. These scientific presentations provide further insight into UCB's epilepsy portfolio and reinforce the company's commitment to generating sustainable patient value for people living with epilepsy around the world.
"Our leadership in epilepsy combines insights from patients and caregivers, collaborations with leading experts from around the world, and cutting-edge scientific methods to address important unmet medical challenges," explained Charl van Zyl, Head of Neurology & Executive Vice President, UCB. "We are committed to developing solutions that address areas of acute need while delivering sustainable value and improved experiences for people living with epilepsy."
UCB will be presenting five posters on NAYZILAM and hosting a Symposium "Epilepsy Treatment Update for Patients Suffering from Seizure Clusters" tomorrow, Friday, December 6, 6:00 - 9:00 PM, at the Baltimore Convention Center, Room 314-315. During the symposium, Patty Shafer RN, MN, Senior Director of Health Information and Resources from the Epilepsy Foundation will discuss the rationale for their Seizure Clusters Workgroup and research. Panelists James Wheless, MD; Patricia Penovich, MD; and David Burdette, MD will discuss misconceptions around seizure clusters, followed by a clinical presentation on NAYZILAM.
"We believe in developing medicines for people living with epilepsy that may help them achieve control and return to the lives they want to live," said Mike Davis, Head of U.S. Neurology. "The availability of NAYZILAM, which coincides with this AES meeting, reinforces our commitment to progressing tailored medicines to provide additional choices and support to the epilepsy community with the first new rescue option in two decades."

About BRIVIACT(®) (brivaracetam) CV( 16)
BRIVIACT(®) was approved in the U.S. in 2016 as an add-on therapy for adult patients. BRIVIACT was approved as monotherapy for adults in September 2017, and as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy in patients four years of age and older with partial-onset seizures in 2018. BRIVIACT(®) is available in three formulations: oral tablets, oral solution, and intravenous (IV) injection.
BRIVIACT INDICATION AND SELECT IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
BRIVIACT (brivaracetam) CV is indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients 4 years of age and older. As the safety of BRIVIACT injection in pediatric patients has not been established, BRIVIACT injection is indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures only in adult patients (16 years of age and older).
BRIVIACT is associated with important warnings and precautions including suicidal behavior and ideation, somnolence, fatigue, dizziness, disturbance in gait and coordination, psychiatric adverse reactions including nonpsychotic and psychotic symptoms, and hypersensitivity reactions (bronchospasm and angioedema). BRIVIACT is contraindicated in patients with a prior hypersensitivity reaction to brivaracetam or any of the inactive ingredients.
In adult adjunctive therapy placebo-controlled clinical trials, the most common adverse reactions (at least 5% for BRIVIACT and at least 2% more frequently than placebo) were somnolence and sedation, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea and vomiting symptoms. Adverse reactions reported in clinical studies of pediatric patients 4 years to less than 16 years of age were generally similar to those in adult patients.
BRIVIACT is a Schedule V controlled substance.
Please refer to full Prescribing Information available at www.BRIVIACTHCP.com.
About VIMPAT(®) (lacosamide) CV: (17)
VIMPAT(®) was approved in the U.S. in 2008 as an add-on therapy for adult patients. VIMPAT was approved as monotherapy for adults in August 2014, and as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy in patients four years of age and older with partial-onset seizures in 2017. VIMPAT(®) is available in three formulations: oral tablets, oral solution, and intravenous (IV) injection.
VIMPAT INDICATION AND SELECT IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
VIMPAT (lacosamide) CV is indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients 4 years of age and older. As the safety of VIMPAT injection in pediatric patients has not been established, VIMPAT injection is indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures only in adult patients (17 years of age and older).
VIMPAT is associated with important warnings and precautions including suicidal behavior and ideation, dizziness and ataxia, cardiac rhythm and conduction abnormalities, syncope, and Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), also known as multi-organ hypersensitivity.
In the adult monotherapy clinical trial, adverse reactions were generally similar to those observed and attributed to drug in adjunctive placebo-controlled trials, with the exception of insomnia (observed at a higher rate of >=2%). In the adult adjunctive placebo-controlled trials, the most common adverse reactions (>=10% and greater than placebo) were dizziness, headache, nausea, and diplopia. Pediatric adverse reactions were similar to those seen in adult patients.
VIMPAT is a Schedule V controlled substance.
Please refer to full Prescribing Information available at www.VIMPATHCP.com.
About NAYZILAM(®) (midazolam) nasal spray CIV (1)
NAYZILAM(®), the first and only nasal spray for the acute treatment of seizure clusters in epilepsy patients 12 years and older, was approved by the U.S. FDA in May 2019.
NAYZILAM INDICATION AND SELECT IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
NAYZILAM(®) (midazolam) nasal spray CIV is a benzodiazepine indicated for the acute treatment of intermittent, stereotypic episodes of frequent seizure activity (i.e., seizure clusters, acute repetitive seizures) that are distinct from a patient's usual seizure pattern in patients with epilepsy 12 years of age and older.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
NAYZILAM is contraindicated in patients with acute narrow-angle glaucoma.
RISKS FROM CONCOMITANT USE WITH OPIOIDS
-- Concomitant use of benzodiazepines, including NAYZILAM, and opioids may
result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death.
-- Reserve concomitant prescribing of these drugs for use in patients for
whom alternative treatment options are inadequate.
-- Limit dosages and durations to the minimum required.
-- Follow patients for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and
sedation.
RISKS OF CARDIORESPIRATORY ADVERSE REACTIONS
Serious cardiorespiratory adverse reactions have occurred after administration of midazolam. Warn patients and caregivers about the risks of respiratory depression, cardiac and respiratory arrest.
Respiratory depression was observed with the administration of NAYZILAM during clinical trials. Cardiac or respiratory arrest caused by NAYZILAM was not reported during clinical trials.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION FROM CONCOMITANT USE WITH OTHER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSANTS, OR MODERATE OR STRONG CYP3A4 INHIBITORS
Drug products containing midazolam, including NAYZILAM, have a central nervous system (CNS) depressant effect.
Risks from Concomitant Use with Other CNS Depressants
NAYZILAM may cause an increased CNS-depressant effect when used with alcohol or other CNS depressants (e.g., opioids). Warn patients and caregivers that the use of NAYZILAM in combination with alcohol or other CNS depressant drugs may increase the risk of hypoventilation, airway obstruction, desaturation, or apnea and may contribute to profound and/or prolonged drug effect.
Risks from Concomitant Use with Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors
Concomitant use of NAYZILAM with moderate or strong CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors may result in prolonged sedation because of a decrease in plasma clearance of midazolam. Caution patients against engaging in hazardous occupations requiring mental alertness, such as operating machinery, driving a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle until they have completely returned to their level of baseline functioning.
SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR AND IDEATION
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), including NAYZILAM, increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication. Monitor patients treated with NAYZILAM for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behavior. Advise patients and caregivers to be alert for these behavioral changes and to immediately report them to the healthcare provider.
IMPAIRED COGNITIVE FUNCTION
Midazolam, including NAYZILAM, is associated with a high incidence of partial or complete impairment of recall for several hours following an administered dose. Counsel patients on when they can engage in activities requiring complete mental alertness, operate hazardous machinery, or drive a motor vehicle after taking NAYZILAM.
GLAUCOMA
Benzodiazepines, including NAYZILAM, can increase intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma. NAYZILAM may be used in patients with open-angle glaucoma only if they are receiving appropriate therapy. NAYZILAM is contraindicated in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
In the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, the most common adverse reactions (>=5% in any NAYZILAM treatment group) were somnolence, headache, nasal discomfort, throat irritation, and rhinorrhea.
NAYZILAM is a Schedule IV controlled substance.
Please refer to the full Prescribing Information at www.NAYZILAM.com.
