2 Self Assessment 1. The most common source(s) of diverted controlled substances is/are: a) Multiple doctors b) Street dealers c) Friend or family d) a and b 2. Evidence shows that abuse-deterrent formulation (ADF) OxyContin a) Reduces non-oral use of the drug (snorting and injecting) b) Results in reduced use of other ER formulations of opioids c) Leads to decreased use of heroin use d) All of the above 3. ADFs reduce the need for REMs a) True b) False Nothing is intrinsically good or evil but it s manner of usage may make it so Thomas Aquinas 2
3 Objectives Review data (CDC, SAMHSA) on prescription drug use and overdose Review data on increasing utilization of opioids Understand the shift in usage to other opioids (heroin) Evaluate the use and efficacy of abuse-deterrent formulations (ADFs) The FDA Draft Abuse-Deterrent Opioid Guidance Provides a Path Study Categorization and Abuse-Deterrent Label Study Categories Premarketing Studies Postmarketing Studies Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Category 4 Preclinical in vitro manipulation and extraction studies Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies Clinical abuse potential (eg, drug liking studies) Epidemiological studies measuring abuse deterrence (overall and route-specific abuse and abuse deterrence) Tiers for Potential Abuse-Deterrent Claims* Tier 1 The product is formulated with physicochemical barriers to abuse Tier 2 The product is expected to reduce or block effect of the opioid when the product is manipulated Tier 3 The product is expected to result in a meaningful reduction in abuse Tier 4 The product has demonstrated reduced abuse in the community 3
4 The FDA Abuse-Deterrent Opioid Guidance Provides a Path for Drug Developers Abuse-Deterrent Opioids Evaluation and Labeling Guidance for Industry Abuse-deterrent technology into 6 categories: 1. Physical/chemical barrier 2. Agonist/antagonist combinations 3. Aversion 4. Prodrug 5. Delivery system 6. Combination of 2 or more of the above 4
5 The FDA recommended collecting data from each of the following premarket studies categories to obtain a full understanding of a product s abuse potential 1. Laboratory-based in vitro manipulation and extraction studies (category 1) 2. Pharmacokinetic studies (category 2) 3. Clinical abuse potential studies (category 3) Recommendations for collecting data from each premarket studies categories to obtain a full understanding of a product's abuse potential The FDA noted that results from category 1 studies may affect the designs of the other 2, and category 2 results may affect the design and need for category 3 studies. The guidance contains postmarket study recommendations for products that may be an exception to these criteria. The FDA recommended that the labeling should include information on a product s abusedeterrent properties which is supported by data to better inform healthcare professionals, patients, and the public about a product s abuse potential. The label should also make it clear that abuse is still possible. 5

Mercadante & A. Giarratano 164 Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs (2013) 22(1) Thus, opioid antagonist acts only locally in the gut. In the gut, opioid antagonist competes with peripheral opioid actions on the bowel. 2:1 oxycodone/naloxone (OX:N ) ratio Efficacy shown in Two Randomised, Double-blind Clinical Trials for chronic non-cancer pain Oliver Löwenstein; Petra Leyendecker; Eberhard A Lux; Mark Blagden; Karen H Simpson; Michael Hopp; Pharmacol. 2010;10(12):1-9.

8 Oxymorphone (Opana ER) Physical Deterrent: Crush Resistance Hydrocodone bitartrate technology is designed to be crush resistant and maintain the extended-release characteristics of the formulation Proprietary technology features controlled drug delivery through a polymer matrix designed to be crush resistant The clinical significance of these technologies or its impact on abuse/misuse liability has not been fully established, though recent data shows promise for abuse reduction in recreational users* However, abuse by the intravenous, intranasal, and oral routes is still possible June 2015FPI OPANA ER IR Oxycodone (Oxaydo ) Discourages intranasal abuse 8
9 In a double-blind, active-comparator, crossover study in 40 non-dependent recreational opioid users, drug liking responses and single-dose safety of crushed OXAYDO tablets were compared with crushed immediate-release oxycodone tablets when subjects self-administered the drug intranasally. The presence of sequence effects resulted in questionable reliability of the second period data. First period data demonstrated small numeric differences in the median and mean drug liking scores, lower in response to oxycodone HCl, USP than immediate-release oxycodone. 30% of subjects exposed to oxycodone HCl, USP responded that they would not take the drug again compared to 5% of subjects exposed to immediaterelease oxycodone. Study subjects self-administering oxycodone HCl, USP reported a higher incidence of nasopharyngeal and facial adverse events and a decreased ability to completely insufflate 2 crushed tablets within a fixed time period (21 of 40 subjects). The clinical significance of the difference in drug liking and difference in response to taking the drug again reported in this study has not yet been established. There is no evidence that oxycodone HCl, USP has a reduced abuse liability compared to immediate-release oxycodone.

19 Other Possibilities for Decreased ERO Exposures Besides Reformulation Effects At poison centers: Passive surveillance system Changes in reporting processes Possible misclassification between original and reformulated ERO exposures Changing opioid trends: Reductions in ERO prescriptions Changes in the population coverage Secular trends in prescription Opioid abuse and misuse due to other interventions Coplan PM, Kale H, Sandstrom L et al. Changes in oxycodone and heroin exposures in the National Poison Data System after introduction of extended-release oxycodone with abuse-deterrent characteristics. Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Saf. 2013;22(12): Conclusion Abuse-deterrent formulations, with physicochemical barriers appear to be promising at reducing abuse and adverse outcomes from misuse. More consistent abuse-deterrent properties and addressing heroin availability may be necessary to improvise public health benefit. Abuse, therapeutic errors, and accidental exposures reported to NDPS were decreased for ERO reformulation but not with other opioid agents. The clinical significance of these technologies or its impact on abuse/misuse liability has not been fully established, though recent data shows promise for abuse reduction in recreational users. Reformulating one opioid alone to have abuse-deterrent properties does not meet the public health benefit. Coplan PM, Kale H, Sandstrom L et al.

20 Case Study 2 Methods 5 programs from the Researched Abuse, Diversion, and Addiction Related Surveillance (RADARS) System to describe trends between 2002 and 2013 in the diversion and abuse of oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl, morphine, and tramadol The programs gather data from drug-diversion investigators, poison centers, substanceabuse treatment centers, and college students 20
21 Case Study 3 21
22 Methods An observational design compared the prevalence, prescription-adjusted prevalence rates, and ROA (routes of administration) patterns of past-30-day abuse of ORF in the period after its introduction to that of OC before ORF introduction Abuse patterns for 2 comparator opioid compounds (ER morphine and ER oxymorphone) were assessed during the same pre- and post-orf periods. The primary route of non-oral abuse of ER oxymorphone is by snorting and of ER morphine is by injecting, 2 thus providing relevant controls for route-specific comparisons A sensitivity analysis was conducted to account for number of prescriptions dispensed using data from the Vector One National database Results 22

25 Reformulated oxycodone was associated with a significant reduction of past-month abuse after its introduction (45.1% [95% CI, 41.2%-49.1%] apparently owing to a migration to other opioids, particularly heroin However, this reduction leveled off, such that 25% to 30% of the sample persisted in endorsing past-month abuse from 2012 to 2014 Among the 88 participants who indicated experience using pre-adf and ADF oxycodone, this residual level of abuse reflects the following 3 phenomena: (1) a transition from non-oral routes of administration to oral use (38 participants [43%]); (2) successful efforts to defeat the ADF mechanism leading to a continuation of inhaled or injected use (30 participants [34%]) (3) exclusive use of the oral route independent of formulation type (20 participants [23%]) Abuse-Deterrent Formulations and the Prescription Opioid Abuse Epidemic in the United States Lessons Learned From OxyContin.

26 Methods Survey of Key Informants Patients (SKIP) program, a key element of the Researched Abuse, Diversion and Addiction-Related Surveillance (RADARS) system, a comprehensive series of programs that collect and analyze post-marketing data on the misuse and diversion of prescription opioid analgesics and heroin. Clients older than 18 years who were entering their substance abuse treatment program with a primary diagnosis of opioid abuse, as defined by DSM-V criteria. (11,782 participants) A subset of respondents indicated by a mail-in postcard provided with the SKIP survey that they were willing to give up their anonymity and participate in the interview-based Researchers and Participants Interacting Directly (RAPID) program. The purpose of the RAPID program was to supplement and add context to the structured SKIP survey by establishing a 2-way exchange of information with participants in which questions were developed, administered, and answered within a short period.

31 Scientific Literature Supports That There May Be Low Abuse Liability with Buprenorphine In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, in-patient study of morphine maintained abusers, buprenorphine injection produced: Little good effect with subjects moderately interested in product Increased ratings of bad drug Not self-administered above placebo at any dose tested Comer SD, et al. Neuropsychopharmacol. 2008;33: Consistent Message In 1978 the head of the dependence potential testing program the United States Addiction Research Center was Dr. Donald R. Jasinski. Dr. Jasinski conducted historic studies of buprenorphine. He concluded the following: Buprenorphine has a unique pharmacology with immediately obvious therapeutic applications as an analgesic of low abuse potential He recommended the least restrictive scheduling to distinguish buprenorphine from much stronger dependence producing drugs such as morphine, fentanyl, and oxycodone. We now have 3 additional decades of research and ¼ century of clinical experience to confirm that Dr. Jasinski was correct. 31

Study: Opioid Abuse May Be Waning in the United States Reuters (1/15, Emery) reports that according to an analysis (1/15) published Jan. 15 in the New England Journal of Medicine, opiate-based prescription painkiller abuse may be waning in the US. Researchers attribute the decline to new laws, policies, the reformulation of oxycodone, and programs including the prescription tracking system. Data used for the study were collected between 2002 and 2013 from substance-abuse treatment centers, poison centers, college students, and drug-diversion investigators. HealthDay (1/15, Norton) reports that although the US epidemic of prescription-painkiller abuse may be starting to reverse course, researchers believe this could be due, in part, to a disturbing trend: Heroin abuse and overdoses are on the rise. MedPage Today (1/15, Fiore) also reports on the study generally. Delving further into the increasing rates of heroin abuse in the US, CNN (1/15, Kounang) reports that the number of deaths from heroin use over the past 2 decades is up by 39%, and this is the third year in a row that heroin deaths have increased. CNN s Dr. Sanjay Gupta believes that the success of the federal, state, and local government initiatives to crack down on illegal prescription drug sales...may have a connection to the rise in problems with heroin. While a 60-milligram [painkiller] pill will cost $60 for people without insurance, CNN points out that one can obtain the equivalent amount of heroin for about onetenth the price. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, almost half of young people who use heroin today started with prescription opioids. Reuters January
36 The CDC Data Reports Regional Reduction in Overdose Deaths CDC Vital Signs July 2014 Conflicting Reports Adds Concerns: Overdose Death Rates Have Increased In 26 States USA Today (6/17, Bowerman, Pager) reports that yesterday, the Trust for America s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation released a report finding that drug overdose death rates have increased in 26 states and Washington, DC, and overdoses continue to outpace car crashes as the leading cause of injury-related deaths. Reuters (6/18, Kearney) reports that across the US, prescription medication and illicit drug overdoses took the lives of 44,000 people in % of these fatalities are tied to prescription medications. The AP (6/18, Raby, Mattise) reports that West Virginia leads the US in the highest rate of overdose deaths. In fact, the state s drug overdose death rate was more than double the national average, the report says. The report, which cited statistics from the CDC, found that West Virginia experienced about 34 drug overdose deaths per 100,000 people, compared to the US national average of 13.4 deaths per 100,000 people. 36
