1 Drug Pipeline Monthly Update Critical updates in an ever changing environment June 2017 New drug information Baxdela (delafloxacin): The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Melinta s Baxdela, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, for the treatment of skin and skin structure infections caused by a range of bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Baxdela is available both as an intravenous infusion and as an oral tablet. Symjepi (epinephrine injection): The FDA approved Adamis Symjepi, a therapeutic alternative to Mylan s EpiPen. Symjepi is available as a prefilled syringe that can be administered via intramuscular or subcutaneous routes for the emergency treatment of allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis. It is not an alternative for EpiPen Jr, but Adamis does plan to file a New Drug Application (NDA) for a junior version in the future. Adamis anticipates launch of Symjepi in the second half of 2017 at a lower cost than EpiPen. 1 Generic drug information Armour Thyroid (thyroid tab): Acella launched the first generic for Actavis Armour Thyroid for the replacement or supplemental therapy in patients with hypothyroidism. Strattera (atomoxetine): Teva, Glenmark, and Aurobindo/Rising have launched their generic versions of Eli Lilly s Strattera for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). According to IMS, Strattera had approximately $535 million in sales over the past year. Pataday (olopatadine): Teva has launched the first generic for Novartis Pataday for the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. Teva has 180 days of marketing exclusivity after which multiple manufactures will launch their generic versions of Pataday. According to IMS, Pataday had $303 million dollars in sales over the past year. Acticlate (doxycycline hyclate): Mayne Pharma launched their generic of Aqua Acticlate for the treatment of: rickettsial infections, sexually transmitted infections, respiratory tract infections, specific bacterial infections, ophthalmic infections, anthrax, alternative treatment to penicillin where it is contraindicated, adjunctive therapy in acute intestinal amebiasis and severe acne, and the prevention of malaria. Apotex may receive FDA approval for their generic version in Acticlate generated $250 million in U.S. annual sales over the past year. Renvela (sevelamer carbonate): Aurobindo Pharma launched their generic of Genzyme s Renvela packets for oral suspension to control serum phosphorus in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. It is unclear when the FDA will grant approval to additional generic versions of Renvela packets.
