New Data Provide Treatment Insights into Options for Switching Adult Patients Diagnosed with Schizophrenia to UZEDY® (risperidone) Extended-Release Injectable Suspension from Perseris® (RBP-7000)

Rhea-AI Summary

Teva Pharmaceuticals presented new data at the 37th Annual European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) Congress, providing insights on switching adult schizophrenia patients to UZEDY® (risperidone extended-release injectable suspension) from Perseris® (RBP-7000). The study found that switching to UZEDY 4 weeks after the last dose of once-monthly RBP-7000 resulted in comparable pharmacokinetic profiles.

Additionally, new findings from the ADVANCE survey highlighted key reasons for patients accepting long-acting injectable (LAI) treatments, including symptom improvement, healthcare provider recommendations, and ease of use. The survey also revealed that most healthcare providers recommend LAIs primarily due to nonadherence to oral medication.

These data aim to support clinicians in making informed decisions about treatment options for schizophrenia patients, considering that up to 80% experience multiple relapses in the first five years.

Insights

Financial Analyst

The new data presented by Teva on UZEDY® switching strategies is moderately positive for the company's neuroscience portfolio. While not a groundbreaking announcement, it strengthens Teva's position in the competitive schizophrenia treatment market. The pharmacokinetic analysis providing insights on switching from Perseris® to UZEDY® could potentially increase adoption among healthcare providers, as it addresses a common clinical challenge.

The ADVANCE survey results highlighting patient and caregiver reasons for accepting long-acting injectables (LAIs) are particularly valuable. With 68% of patients citing symptom improvement and 65% mentioning HCP recommendations as key factors, this data could support Teva's marketing efforts for UZEDY®. However, the impact on Teva's financials may be gradual, as changing prescribing habits takes time.

Investors should note that while this news is positive, it's unlikely to cause a significant short-term stock movement. The long-term value lies in Teva's continued investment in its neuroscience portfolio and efforts to differentiate UZEDY® in a competitive market.

Medical Research Analyst

The presented data offers valuable clinical insights for healthcare providers managing schizophrenia patients. The population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) analysis suggesting comparable PK profiles when switching to UZEDY® 4 weeks after the last Perseris® dose is particularly noteworthy. This information can help clinicians make more informed decisions about treatment transitions, potentially improving patient outcomes.

The ADVANCE survey results provide a comprehensive view of factors influencing LAI acceptance. The high percentage of patients (68%) and caregivers (62%) citing symptom improvement as a reason for accepting LAIs underscores the perceived efficacy of these treatments. Additionally, the emphasis on ease of use (57% of patients, 78% of caregivers) highlights a key advantage of LAIs over oral antipsychotics.

From a research perspective, these findings contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of LAIs in schizophrenia treatment. They also highlight areas for future research, such as comparing long-term outcomes between different LAI options and strategies to address barriers to LAI adoption identified in the HCP survey.

Market Research Analyst

This data presentation at the ECNP Congress strengthens Teva's market position in the competitive schizophrenia treatment landscape. The switching strategy insights for UZEDY® address a critical need in clinical practice, potentially differentiating it from competitors. This could lead to increased adoption among healthcare providers seeking evidence-based guidance for treatment transitions.

The ADVANCE survey results offer valuable market intelligence. The high percentage of patients and caregivers citing symptom improvement and ease of use as reasons for accepting LAIs aligns well with UZEDY's product profile. This data can inform targeted marketing strategies and help Teva tailor its messaging to address key stakeholder concerns.

However, the survey also revealed barriers to LAI adoption, such as cost and availability concerns in certain markets. Teva will need to address these challenges to maximize UZEDY's market potential. The regional variations in HCP prescribing behaviors also suggest a need for market-specific strategies.

While this news is positive for Teva's long-term prospects in the schizophrenia market, investors should temper short-term expectations. The impact on sales and market share will likely be gradual as the company leverages these insights in its commercial strategy.

• As a leader in neuroscience, Teva remains committed to helping address unmet needs in the treatment of schizophrenia through scientific and clinical advances that support optimal treatment options and decisions for patients and HCPs
• New data demonstrate switching to UZEDY at four weeks after the last dose of once-monthly RBP-7000 provided the most comparable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile based on relevant simulations, with comparable doses identified
• New ADVANCE survey findings highlight key patient-reported reasons for accepting long-acting injectable treatment options, including improvement of symptoms/condition, recommendation by a HCP, and ease of use data
  

TEL AVIV, Israel and PARSIPPANY, N.J., Sept. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today presented data informing clinical strategies for switching patients to UZEDY^®, an extended-release injectable suspension of risperidone for subcutaneous use every one or two months for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults, from a once-monthly subcutaneous injection of Perseris^® (RBP-7000). The results were presented during the 37^th Annual European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) Congress taking place between September 21-24, 2024, in Milan, Italy.

Schizophrenia is a complex medical condition that may require switching from an oral option or between different long-acting injectable options during the patient treatment journey. These data further clinical understanding of optimal treatment strategies when switching to UZEDY from Perseris^®.

“Schizophrenia patients and healthcare providers rely on evidence-based studies that can help inform their treatment decisions. That is why Teva is dedicated to building on our commitment to neuroscience and schizophrenia and helps provide these clinical insights on UZEDY switching strategies, along with its role in long-acting treatment options,” said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President of Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. “Up to 80% of schizophrenia patients experience multiple relapses in the first five years, making switching treatments a common experience in the search for optimal treatment. With UZEDY, Teva is building a robust portfolio of research that can help determine if and when it may be the right long-acting option.”

In a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) analysis, simulations were conducted to predict pharmacokinetic (PK) exposures when switching to UZEDY 4-6 weeks after the last injection of once-monthly RBP-7000. The simulation models indicated that switching to UZEDY 4 weeks after the last dose of once-monthly RBP-7000 resulted in comparable PK properties of UZEDY at both the initial exposure and steady state. Comparable doses included UZEDY at 100 mg (once-monthly dosing) or 200 mg (once-every-two-months dosing) to 120 mg of once-monthly RBP-7000.¹

Any switching strategy should be determined by clinicians on an individual patient basis, considering factors such as patient preference, scheduling convenience and potential tolerability issues or risk of symptom breakthrough.

“Every person living with schizophrenia has unique treatment needs and preferences that may also evolve over time. For my patients, I encourage discussion around key factors like treatment adherence, dosing frequency, symptom control, and rate of relapse which inform what treatment option may be the most appropriate,” said Christoph Correll, MD, Professor of Psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine, Hempstead, NY. “For healthcare providers, there is also a significant knowledge gap in the available clinical data on switching patients between the various LAI treatment options, which have differing pharmacokinetic properties and dosing considerations. Insights from studies like these are crucial for researchers and clinicians like myself, as they help us become more informed and better serve our patients.”

Additional key data being presented at ECNP 2024 included new quantitative results from the ADVANCE (Attitudes Driving Regional Differences in LAI Antipsychotic Utilization for Schizophrenia Among HCPs, Patients and Caregivers) surveys, including:

• Among 447 people living with schizophrenia and 375 caregivers, most common patient-reported reasons for accepting an LAI (n=331) were improvement of symptoms/condition with LAIs (68%, n=224), recommendation by their HCP (65%, n=214) and ease of using LAIs versus oral antipsychotics (57%, n=189).¹
• Patients also reported using LAIs due to fewer side effects versus oral antipsychotics (38%, n=127) and to help prevent hospitalization (20%, n=67).¹
• Caregivers (n=229) reported that patients accepted LAIs based on ease of use versus oral antipsychotics (78%, n=178), to help prevent hospitalization (62%, n=143) and perception that LAIs would work better for improving condition/symptoms (62%, n=143).¹
• Among a sample of 791 HCPs from 8 different countries, most HCPs reported that the primary reason for recommending an LAI to a patient was nonadherence to oral medication, with the exception of South Korea where the most common reason was that an LAI would be more efficacious than oral.¹
• The primary reasons cited for not recommending an LAI were patient clinical characteristics and the lack of an available LAI formulation of the patient’s current oral treatment, except for China and South Korea, where the primary reasons were LAI cost to patient and LAI product not marketed, respectively.¹
  

About Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic, progressive and severely debilitating mental disorder that affects how one thinks, feels and acts.²  Patients experience an array of symptoms, which may include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech or behavior and impaired cognitive ability.^2,3,4 Approximately 1% of the world’s population will develop schizophrenia in their lifetime, and 3.5 million people in the U.S. are currently diagnosed with the condition.^3,4 Although schizophrenia can occur at any age, the average age of onset tends to be in the late teens to the early 20s for men, and the late 20s to early 30s for women. ⁴ The long-term course of schizophrenia is marked by episodes of partial or full remission broken by relapses that often occur in the context of psychiatric emergency and require hospitalization.⁴ Approximately 80% of patients experience multiple relapses over the first five years of treatment, and each relapse carries a biological risk of loss of function, treatment refractoriness, and changes in brain morphology.^5,6,7 Patients are often unaware of their illness and its consequences, contributing to treatment nonadherence, high discontinuation rates, and ultimately, significant direct and indirect healthcare costs from subsequent relapses and hospitalizations.^2,3,4,5,6,7

About UZEDY
UZEDY (risperidone) extended-release injectable suspension, for subcutaneous use, is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. In clinical trials, UZEDY significantly reduced the risk of schizophrenia relapse.^1,8 UZEDY administers risperidone through copolymer technology under license from MedinCell that allows for absorption and sustained release after subcutaneous injection. UZEDY is the only long-acting, subcutaneous formulation of risperidone available in both one- and two-month dosing intervals.⁸ For full prescribing information, visit https://www.uzedy.com/globalassets/uzedy/prescribing-information.pdf.

INDICATION AND USAGE

UZEDY (risperidone) extended-release injectable suspension for subcutaneous use is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults.

WARNING: INCREASED MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA-RELATED PSYCHOSIS
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. UZEDY is not approved for use in patients with dementia-related psychosis and has not been studied in this patient population.

See below for additional Important Safety Information.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED

CONTRAINDICATIONS: UZEDY is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to risperidone, its metabolite, paliperidone, or to any of its components. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions and angioedema, have been reported in patients treated with risperidone or paliperidone.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions: In trials of elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis, there was a significantly higher incidence of cerebrovascular adverse events (e.g., stroke, transient ischemic attack), including fatalities, in patients treated with oral risperidone compared to placebo. UZEDY is not approved for use in patients with dementia-related psychosis.

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS): NMS, a potentially fatal symptom complex, has been reported in association with antipsychotic drugs. Clinical manifestations of NMS are hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status including delirium, and autonomic instability (irregular pulse or blood pressure, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and cardiac dysrhythmia). Additional signs may include elevated creatine phosphokinase, myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis) and acute renal failure. If NMS is suspected, immediately discontinue UZEDY and provide symptomatic treatment and monitoring.

Tardive Dyskinesia (TD): TD, a syndrome consisting of potentially irreversible, involuntary, dyskinetic movements, may develop in patients treated with antipsychotic drugs. Although the prevalence of the syndrome appears to be highest among the elderly, especially elderly women, it is impossible to predict which patients will develop the syndrome. Whether antipsychotic drug products differ in their potential to cause TD is unknown.

The risk of developing TD and the likelihood that it will become irreversible are believed to increase with the duration of treatment and the cumulative dose. The syndrome can develop, after relatively brief treatment periods, even at low doses. It may also occur after discontinuation. TD may remit, partially or completely, if antipsychotic treatment is discontinued. Antipsychotic treatment, itself, however, may suppress (or partially suppress) the signs and symptoms of the syndrome, possibly masking the underlying process. The effect that symptomatic suppression has upon the long-term course of the syndrome is unknown.

If signs and symptoms of TD appear in a patient treated with UZEDY, drug discontinuation should be considered. However, some patients may require treatment with UZEDY despite the presence of the syndrome. In patients who do require chronic treatment, use the lowest dose and the shortest duration of treatment producing a satisfactory clinical response. Periodically reassess the need for continued treatment.

Metabolic Changes: Atypical antipsychotic drugs have been associated with metabolic changes that may increase cardiovascular/cerebrovascular risk. These metabolic changes include hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and body weight gain. While all of the drugs in the class have been shown to produce some metabolic changes, each drug has its own specific risk profile.

Hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus (DM), in some cases extreme and associated with ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma or death, have been reported in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics, including risperidone. Patients with an established diagnosis of DM who are started on atypical antipsychotics, including UZEDY, should be monitored regularly for worsening of glucose control. Patients with risk factors for DM (e.g., obesity, family history of diabetes) who are starting treatment with atypical antipsychotics, including UZEDY, should undergo fasting blood glucose (FBG) testing at the beginning of treatment and periodically during treatment. Any patient treated with atypical antipsychotics, including UZEDY, should be monitored for symptoms of hyperglycemia including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia and weakness. Patients who develop symptoms of hyperglycemia during treatment with atypical antipsychotics, including UZEDY, should undergo FBG testing. In some cases, hyperglycemia has resolved when the atypical antipsychotic, including risperidone, was discontinued; however, some patients required continuation of antidiabetic treatment despite discontinuation of risperidone.

Dyslipidemia has been observed in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics.

Weight gain has been observed with atypical antipsychotic use. Monitoring weight is recommended.

Hyperprolactinemia: As with other drugs that antagonize dopamine D₂ receptors, risperidone elevates prolactin levels and the elevation persists during chronic administration. Risperidone is associated with higher levels of prolactin elevation than other antipsychotic agents.

Orthostatic Hypotension and Syncope: UZEDY may induce orthostatic hypotension associated with dizziness, tachycardia, and in some patients, syncope. UZEDY should be used with particular caution in patients with known cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease and conditions which would predispose patients to hypotension and in the elderly and patients with renal or hepatic impairment. Monitoring of orthostatic vital signs should be considered in all such patients, and a dose reduction should be considered if hypotension occurs. Clinically significant hypotension has been observed with concomitant use of oral risperidone and antihypertensive medication.

Falls: Antipsychotics, including UZEDY, may cause somnolence, postural hypotension, motor and sensory instability, which may lead to falls and, consequently, fractures or other fall-related injuries. Somnolence, postural hypotension, motor and sensory instability have been reported with the use of risperidone. For patients, particularly the elderly, with diseases, conditions, or medications that could exacerbate these effects, assess the risk of falls when initiating antipsychotic treatment and recurrently for patients on long-term antipsychotic therapy.

Leukopenia, Neutropenia and Agranulocytosis have been reported with antipsychotic agents, including risperidone. In patients with a pre-existing history of a clinically significant low white blood cell count (WBC) or absolute neutrophil count (ANC) or a history of drug-induced leukopenia or neutropenia, perform a complete blood count (CBC) frequently during the first few months of therapy. In such patients, consider discontinuation of UZEDY at the first sign of a clinically significant decline in WBC in the absence of other causative factors. Monitor patients with clinically significant neutropenia for fever or other symptoms or signs of infection and treat promptly if such symptoms or signs occur. Discontinue UZEDY in patients with ANC (< 1000/mm³) and follow their WBC until recovery.

Potential for Cognitive and Motor Impairment: UZEDY, like other antipsychotics, may cause somnolence and has the potential to impair judgement, thinking and motor skills. Somnolence was a commonly reported adverse reaction associated with oral risperidone treatment. Caution patients about operating hazardous machinery, including motor vehicles, until they are reasonably certain that treatment with UZEDY does not affect them adversely.

Seizures: During premarketing studies of oral risperidone in adult patients with schizophrenia, seizures occurred in 0.3% of patients (9 out of 2,607 patients), two in association with hyponatremia. Use UZEDY cautiously in patients with a history of seizures or other conditions that potentially lower the seizure threshold.

Dysphagia: Esophageal dysmotility and aspiration have been associated with antipsychotic drug use. Antipsychotic drugs, including UZEDY, should be used cautiously in patients at risk for aspiration.

Priapism has been reported during postmarketing surveillance for other risperidone products. A case of priapism was reported in premarket studies of UZEDY. Severe priapism may require surgical intervention.

Body temperature regulation. Disruption of the body’s ability to reduce core body temperature has been attributed to antipsychotic agents. Both hyperthermia and hypothermia have been reported in association with oral risperidone use. Strenuous exercise, exposure to extreme heat, dehydration and anticholinergic medications may contribute to an elevation in core body temperature; use UZEDY with caution in patients who experience these conditions.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions with risperidone (≥5% and greater than placebo) were parkinsonism, akathisia, dystonia, tremor, sedation, dizziness, anxiety, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, stomach discomfort, dyspepsia, diarrhea, salivary hypersecretion, constipation, dry mouth, increased appetite, increased weight, fatigue, rash, nasal congestion, upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis and pharyngolaryngeal pain.

The most common injection site reactions with UZEDY (≥5% and greater than placebo) were pruritus and nodule.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Carbamazepine and other strong CYP3A4 inducers decrease plasma concentrations of risperidone.
• Fluoxetine, paroxetine, and other strong CYP2D6 inhibitors increase risperidone plasma concentration.
• Due to additive pharmacologic effects, the concomitant use of centrally-acting drugs, including alcohol, may increase nervous system disorders.
• UZEDY may enhance the hypotensive effects of other therapeutic agents with this potential.
• UZEDY may antagonize the pharmacologic effects of dopamine agonists.
• Concomitant use with methylphenidate, when there is change in dosage of either medication, may increase the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Pregnancy: May cause EPS and/or withdrawal symptoms in neonates with third trimester exposure. There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to atypical antipsychotics, including UZEDY, during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by contacting the National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics at 1-866-961-2388 or online at http://womensmentalhealth.org/clinicaland-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/.

Lactation: Infants exposed to risperidone through breastmilk should be monitored for excess sedation, failure to thrive, jitteriness and EPS.

Fertility: UZEDY may cause a reversible reduction in fertility in females.

Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of UZEDY have not been established in pediatric patients.

Renal or Hepatic Impairment: Carefully titrate on oral risperidone up to at least 2 mg daily before initiating treatment with UZEDY.

Patients with Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Lewy bodies can experience increased sensitivity to UZEDY. Manifestations and features are consistent with NMS.
