GenSight Biologics to Host a Key Opinion Leader Webinar on the Nature Medicine Case Report: Visual Recovery after GS030 Optogenetic Treatment -…
Posted: June 2, 2021 at 5:52 am
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
GenSight Biologics (Paris:SIGHT) (Euronext: SIGHT, ISIN: FR0013183985, PEA-PME eligible), a biopharma company focused on developing and commercializing innovative gene therapies for retinal neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system disorders, today announced that it will host a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) call on June 4, 2021 from 8:00 am to 9:00 am EDT. The webinar will feature presentations by KOLs Jos-Alain Sahel, MD (University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine) and Botond Roska, MD, PhD (Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel), who will discuss the Nature Medicine Case Report of partial recovery of visual function in a blind patient with late-stage retinitis pigmentosa (RP)., The subject is a participant in the ongoing PIONEER Phase I/II clinical trial of GenSight Biologics GS030 optogenetic therapy. Following the formal presentations, Drs. Sahel and Roska will be available to answer questions.
In addition, GenSight's management team will discuss highlights from the Nature Medicine Case Report and provide an update on their pipeline candidate, GS030. Administered via intravitreal injection, GS030 uses an optimized viral vector (GS030-DP) to express the light-sensitive opsin ChrimsonR in retinal ganglion cells and proprietary light-stimulating goggles (GS030-MD) to project the right wavelength and intensity of light onto the treated retina.
The webinar will be webcast live at https://bit.ly/3uzvG1j. You will need to register in advance to get access to the webinar. For those unable to attend the live broadcast, a recording will be accessible using the same link.
The Nature Medicine Case Report can be found at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01351-4. A video of the patient performing the tests, which was submitted as supplementary material to the publication, can be viewed at http://www.gensight-biologics.com.
About GenSight Biologics
GenSight Biologics S.A. is a clinical-stage biopharma company focused on developing and commercializing innovative gene therapies for retinal neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system disorders. GenSight Biologics pipeline leverages two core technology platforms, the Mitochondrial Targeting Sequence (MTS) and optogenetics, to help preserve or restore vision in patients suffering from blinding retinal diseases. Using its gene therapy-based approach, GenSight Biologics product candidates are designed to be administered in a single treatment to each eye by intravitreal injection to offer patients a sustainable functional visual recovery. Developed as a treatment for Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), GenSight Biologics lead product candidate, LUMEVOQ (GS010; lenadogene nolparvovec), is currently in the review phase of its registration process in Europe, and in Phase III to move forward to a BLA filing in the U.S.
About GS030
GS030 leverages GenSight Biololgics optogenetics technology platform, a novel approach to restore vision in blind patients using a combination of ocular gene therapy and tailored light-activation of treated retinal cells. The gene therapy, which is delivered via a single intravitreal injection, introduces a gene encoding for a light-sensitive protein (ChrimsonR-tdT) into retinal ganglion cells, making them responsive to light and bypassing photoreceptors killed off by diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Because ChrimsonR-tdT is activated by high intensities of amber light, a wearable medical device is needed to stimulate the treated retina. The optronic light-stimulating goggles (GS030-MD) encode the visual scene in real-time and project a light beam with a specific wavelength and intensity onto the treated retina. Treatment with GS030 requires patients to wear the external wearable device in order to enable restoration of their visual function. With the support of the Institut de la Vision in Paris and the team of Dr. Botond Roska at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel, GenSight is investigating GS030 as therapy to restore vision in patients suffering from late-stage RP. GenSights optogenetics approach is independent of the specific genetic mutations causing blindness and has potential applications in other diseases of the retina in which photoreceptors degenerate, like dry age-related macular degeneration (dry-AMD). GS030 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation in the United States and Europe.
About Optogenetics
Optogenetics is a biological technique that involves the transfer of a gene encoding for a light sensitive protein to cause neuronal cells to respond to light stimulation. As a neuromodulation method, it can be used to modify or control the activities of individual neurons in living tissue and even in-vivo, with a very high spatial and temporal resolution. Optogenetics combines (1) the use of gene therapy methods to transfer a gene into target neurons with (2) the use of optics and electronics (optronics) to deliver the light to the transduced cells. Optogenetics holds clinical promise in the field of vision impairment or degenerative neurological disorders.
About Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a family of orphan genetic diseases caused by multiple mutations in numerous genes involved in the visual cycle. Over 100 genetic defects have been implicated. RP patients generally begin experiencing vision loss in their young adult years, with progression to blindness by age 40. RP is the most widespread hereditary cause of blindness in developed nations, with a prevalence of about 1.5 million people throughout the world. In Europe and the United States, about 350,000 to 400,000 patients suffer from RP, and every year between 15,000 and 20,000 new patients with RP lose sight. There is currently no curative treatment for RP.
About the PIONEER Phase I/II trial
PIONEER is a first-in-man, multi-center, open label dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GS030 in 12-18 subjects with late-stage retinitis pigmentosa. GS030 combines a gene therapy (GS030-DP) administered via a single intravitreal injection with a wearable optronic visual stimulation device (GS030-MD). Eligible patients in the first three cohorts are those affected by end-stage non-syndromic RP with no light perception (NLP) or light perception (LP) levels of visual acuity. The extension cohort will include patients with hand motion (HM) and counting fingers (CF) levels of visual acuity.
As per protocol, three cohorts with three subjects each will be administered an increasing dose of GS030-DP via a single intravitreal injection in their worse-seeing eye. An extension cohort will receive the highest tolerated dose. The DSMB will review the safety data of all treated subjects in each cohort and will make recommendations before a new cohort receives the next dose. The primary outcome analyses will be on the safety and tolerability at one year post-injection. PIONEER is being conducted in three centers in the United Kingdom, France and the United States.

Vence Bonham to be appointed acting NHGRI deputy director – National Human Genome Research Institute
Posted: at 5:52 am
On May 17, NHGRI announced plans to appoint Vence Bonham Jr., J.D. as acting deputy director. Vence, who joined NHGRI in 2003, is currently senior advisor to the NHGRI director on genomics and health disparities as well as head of the Health Disparities Unit in NHGRIs Social and Behavioral Research Branch. His appointment as acting deputy director will expand on his current roles, in which he has made major contributions to the Institutes research on diversity, inclusion, and health equity. In this new role, Vence will assume a more elevated position at the Institute, helping the NHGRI leadership advance NHGRIs mission and priorities.
The NHGRI deputy director position has been vacant since Mark Guyer, Ph.D., retired in 2014. The upcoming appointment of Vence as the NHGRI acting deputy director reflects the Institutes desire to have a leader at the highest possible level to guide programmatic activities to advance work related to diversity, inclusion, and health equity at the national level, but also lead NIH and NHGRIs efforts to address anti-racism and social justice. These are significant priority areas for NHGRI, and Vences leadership will be invaluable.
One of Vences first responsibilities as acting deputy director will be to create a new Office of Workforce Diversity and Health Equity within the NHGRI Office of the Director. The new office will work towards NHGRIs goals Vence will work closely with other NHGRI leaders to develop the offices mission and vision, establish a staffing plan, and lead efforts to recruit its first director.
Vence is familiar with NHGRIs long-standing leadership on issues related to diversity in genomics. Most recently, he led the NHGRI Genomic Workforce Diversity Working Group that established an action agenda for enhancing the diversity of the genomics workforce, which was published earlier this year. Vence and NHGRIs Director, Dr. Eric Green, also co-authored a commentary in the American Journal of Human Genetics, which described the imperative to enhance the diversity of the genomics workforce for achieving the promise of genomics. In his new role, Vence will focus on implementing this action agenda and will continue to be one of three NHGRI leaders serving on key NIH-wide committees as part of the NIH UNITE Initiative, which aims to end structural racism in biomedical research.
Vence also has a long history of starting successful initiatives at NHGRI. He established the Education and Community Involvement Branch and served as its inaugural chief. The branch thrived under his leadership, including the creation of the Smithsonian-NHGRI exhibition, Genome: Unlocking Lifes Code.
His research program focuses primarily on the social implications of new scientific knowledge, particularly in communities of color. He and his group study how genomics influences the use of the constructs of race and ethnicity in biomedical research and clinical care, as well as how genomics worsens or improves health inequities. They also study sickle cell disease, a condition that is affected by emerging curative genomic technologies and that faces significant health disparities both in the US and worldwide.
Vences appointment as the NHGRI acting deputy director is anticipated to begin in early summer.

Parkinsonism: Types, Causes, and More – Healthline
Posted: at 5:51 am
Many of us are familiar with Parkinsons disease, but the term parkinsonism may not be as familiar.
Parkinsonism is a term for a group of neurological conditions that cause difficulty with movement. Some of the defining symptoms of parkinsonism include:
Parkinsons disease is the most common type of parkinsonism. It makes up about 80 percent of parkinsonism cases.
Other types of parkinsonism are collectively known as atypical parkinsonian disorders or Parkinson-plus syndromes. There are many types of parkinsonism that closely mimic symptoms of Parkinsons, and diagnosis can be difficult.
In this article, we look at the different types of parkinsonism and break down the symptoms and treatment of each.
Parkinsons disease is one of many types of parkinsonism. Its caused by a loss of cells in the part of your brain that produces the neurotransmitter dopamine.
Parkinsons disease and the different types of parkinsonism progress in different ways. Some may progress more rapidly than Parkinsons disease. Others, like secondary parkinsonism, may be reversible.
The conditions also respond differently to treatments. For instance, someone who has a type of parkinsonism may not respond to the drug levodopa, which is commonly used for Parkinsons disease.
It can be hard to tell the difference between types of parkinsonism. Heres a look at some of the identified categories of parkinsonism with their typical symptoms and treatments.
Atypical parkinsonism refers to any type of parkinsonism that isnt Parkinsons disease.
Types of atypical parkinsonism include:
Multiple system atrophy is a rare and progressive disease thats characterized by abnormal deposits of protein in the nervous system. The cause is unknown, and it affects about 15,000 to 50,000 Americans.
The initial symptoms are similar to those of Parkinsons disease, but they tend to progress more quickly. They include:
Theres currently no treatment for multiple system atrophy thats known to delay the progression of the disease. Treatment involves targeting individual symptoms.
Progressive supranuclear palsy is a disorder caused by damage to parts of the brain controlling the cranial nerves. Symptoms vary between people, but the first sign is often loss of balance while walking. This condition also progresses faster than Parkinsons disease.
Other signs include:
Theres no effective treatment for progressive supranuclear palsy, and it usually doesnt respond to medication. Treatment revolves around targeting individual symptoms.
Corticobasal syndrome is a progressive neurological disorder that leads to the deterioration of certain areas of your brain. The initial sign is often trouble moving one limb. Eventually, this movement difficulty spreads to all limbs.
The onset of this syndrome is usually between ages 50 to 70. It affects roughly 5 in 100,000 people.
Symptoms vary greatly but may include:
No treatment has been found to slow the progression of corticobasal syndrome. Parkinsons drugs are generally ineffective but may help manage stiffness in some people.
Dementia with Lewy bodies is a disease that leads to deposits of alpha-synuclein proteins in the brain. These proteins are also called Lewy bodies.
Abnormal build-up of these chemicals can cause movement, behavior, mood, and cognitive changes.
More than 1 million people in the United States have Lewy body dementia. It most often occurs in adults over 50 and can progress for 2 to 20 years from its onset to death.
Movement symptoms include:
Cognitive symptoms can include:
Secondary parkinsonism is when a medical condition or medication leads to symptoms that resemble Parkinsons. The most common cause of secondary parkinsonism is a side effect of medications, also known as pseudoparkinsonism.
Some drugs can interfere with dopamine transmission in your brain and cause symptoms resembling Parkinsons.
Drugs that are known to induce parkinsonism include:
Treatment usually involves lowering the dose or ceasing use of the offending medication.
A number of underlying conditions can potentially lead to brain damage that causes parkinsonism. Some conditions include:
Treatment for parkinsonism caused by an underlying condition involves targeting the root cause and treating the symptoms.
Its thought that multiple small strokes in the part of your brain that controls movement can lead to a condition called vascular parkinsonism. Vascular parkinsonism is characterized by parkinsonism symptoms primarily in the lower limbs and an unsteady gait in the absence of tremors.
Symptoms include:
Vascular parkinsonism is typically poorly responsive to the medication levodopa. Treatment primarily focuses on treating symptoms. Physical therapy and lifestyle changes to improve cardiovascular health are often recommended.
Infantile parkinsonism-dystonia is a rare disorder thats also known as dopamine transporter deficiency syndrome. It causes a progressive decline in involuntary muscle contractions and other symptoms that resemble those of Parkinsons disease. It usually begins in infants.
Theres no cure for infantile parkinsonism-dystonia, and its caused by a mutation of the gene SLC6A3.
Symptoms of infantile parkinsonism-dystonia include:
Other symptoms can be present, like:
Treatment involves targeting individual symptoms to increase quality of life. Medications to control involuntary muscular contractions and physical therapy are also commonly used.
Juvenile parkinsonism develops before the age of 21. Juvenile parkinsonism that responds to the medication levodopa is most often caused by mutations in the genes PARK-Parkin, PARK-PINK1, or PARK-DJ1.
The symptoms of juvenile parkinsonism are the same as late-onset parkinsonism, but the onset is at a younger age.
The medication levodopa is the most common treatment. But other supportive therapies may also be used, like botulinum toxin for treating involuntary spasms, as well as deep brain stimulation and physical therapy.
No single test can diagnose parkinsonism disorders. Doctors use a combination of tests to rule out other possible conditions and make a diagnosis based on your symptoms and medical history.
For many types of parkinsonism, the exact cause isnt known. Genetic and environmental factors are both believed to play a role.
Parkinsons disease has been linked to exposure to pesticides and herbicides, as well as living close to industrial plants. Some genes are also associated with an elevated risk of developing Parkinsons.
Conditions that cause brain damage, like traumatic injuries, tumors, and exposure to certain toxins, are also potentially contributing factors to the development of parkinsonism.
The outlook of parkinsonism is highly variable depending on factors like the age of onset, the underlying cause, and your overall health. For example, late-onset Parkinsons disease tends to progress faster and cause earlier cognitive dysfunction than early-onset Parkinsons.
Parkinsonisms are progressive conditions that get worse over time. Initiating treatment shortly after symptoms begin can help increase life expectancy and improve quality of life.
For Parkinsons, the primary treatment is the medication levodopa. Treatment varies for other types of parkinsonism, but primarily involves managing symptoms.

How to Coach Your Child Through Tough Situations Involving Their Psoriasis – HealthCentral.com
Posted: at 5:51 am
How to coach your child through any tricky social situation.

Pediatric psoriasis is difficult for kids to live with. Most notably because the red, scaly plaques that are the conditions calling card can not only be physically uncomfortable but draw unwanted attention. And when youre a kid, thats the last thing you wantwhich may be why adolescents with psoriasis tend to have increased levels of depression and anxiety, according to research published in Anais Brasileiros De Dermatologia. When attention is brought to an area, [a child] can feel embarrassed or ashamed, which can often lead to feelings of anxiety and isolation, says Johanna Kaplan, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and director of Washington Anxiety Center of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
As a parent its difficult to see your child struggle. But you might not always know what to do or say to help. Start with these expert tips on how to deal with the four most common scenarios your child may encounter because of their psoriasis, so you can coach your child to handle themselves with strength and pride.
As a parent, its common to feel a wide range of emotions, from anger and sadness to guilt and grief, as well as a strong need to protect your child. Know that you may have to manage your Mama or Papa Bear tendencies.
Parents may feel like calling or going to the school to confront a teacher or an administrator, however, the child may not want so much attention drawn to them and so much discussion about their illness, says Elena Mikalsen, Ph.D., chief of pediatric psychology at The Childrens Hospital of San Antonio in San Antonio, TX. Its also important for the child to get at least some choice about how their illness is discussed and to feel mastery over being able to handle these discussions. With chronic illness, you often feel a lack of control, so any chance we can give kids control, we prefer to do that.
Therefore, Mikalsen encourages parents to discuss with their child whether mom or dad should intervene for them or if they prefer to handle the situation on their own. Though parents cant always control how people respond to their childs skin condition, they can model how to react in public and educate rather than get angry and defensive, she says.
Once youve talked with your child about ways you might (or might not) help, its time to prep your kid to take charge of any social situation that might arise. Heres how.
The very first thing a child of any age should be advised to do if teased about their psoriasis is to let an adult whom they trust know. This person can be a teacher, a family friend, a babysitter, or even the parent themselves. With an adults help, pre-planning comeback statements to use when they are teased by other children can help them feel more confident and less likely to be caught off-guard by bullies or insensitive students, according to Whitney Casares, M.D., a pediatrician in Portland, OR, and author of The Working Mom Blueprint: Winning at Parenting Without Losing Yourself .
Children might need help practicing their comebacks and knowing when it is an appropriate time to use them vs. when its best to rely on other friend groups or adults to protect them. Workshop the various types of teasingsuch as joking, name-calling, and bullying, so your child can decipher what route to take and when. By placing these actions on a continuum from mild to severe, it can help your child know what action to take.
For instance, if one of your childs peers jokes with them during P.E. class that their pants (worn to cover plaques) will slow them down, help them draft a comebackand it could be as simple as: the child sprinting to a finish line and saying afterwards, 'was that slow enough for you?' Pre-planning these exchanges could help build up your childs confidence. For more severe types of bullying, discuss the role teachers play.
To help alleviate the anxiety they have surrounding their condition, kids with psoriasis often choose to wear clothes that cover their flare-ups, even when its not in season (pants and long sleeves during summer). If another child comments on your childs psoriasis-concealing outfit, arm your child with the tools to make it a teaching moment about their skin condition, Dr. Casares says.
Give your child a script or talking points that they can use to briefly explain their medical diagnosis to their peers. By increasing others level of knowledge, theyll also increase others level of empathy, Dr. Casares says. When a childs peers have a deeper knowledge base around a specific disease like psoriasis, theyll be more likely to be supportive and less likely to tease or question the childs choices or needs.
The plaques caused by psoriasis are red and scaly, especially when theyre inflamed, which can draw unwanted attention to your childs skin as well as unwarranted comments from their peers. Support your child by role-playing situations that might arise, such as when other children ask innocent questions about their plaques, suggests Dr. Casares.
When children with psoriasis are able to differentiate when they are being teased vs. when others are genuinely curious about their disease, they can more easily navigate uncomfortable conversations, she says. Theyll also develop more confidence and acceptance of themselves as unique individuals. This is another situation that could become a teaching moment for your child and their peers. By educating your child more about their condition, such as its causes and symptoms, together you could create responses to the various comments they get about their plaques.
Unfortunately, this is a common scenarioone that you should definitely anticipate. The pool can be one of the most intimidating environments for children with psoriasis given large portions of skin are exposed, explains Dr. Casares. When children are discriminated against at a pooleither by exclusion from entering the water due to concerns from uninformed staff or via exclusion from insensitive peersit can be devastating and unjust.
Coach your child to speak with trusted adultssuch as a teacher, counselor, or parent of a friend, who can advocate on their behalf if other children discriminate against them. Advocacy is important in this situation so that the discrimination is not perpetuated and so that kids with psoriasis are less likely to be discriminated against in the future, Dr. Casares says.
And be proactive, suggests, Laurie Zelinger, Ph.D., a psychologist and parenting expert based in Cedarhurst, NY. Talk to summer camp and school administrators, pool management, or the head lifeguard before your child goes to the pool. This way they dont have to hear any discussions about their condition with the gatekeeper, she says. And if that isnt possible, pack a doctors note in their bag that states it is safe for them and others to swim together
Going through life with psoriasis and coping with the social fallout can be challenging for your family, but dont think you have to do it alone.
Connect your child with others who have the same condition so that they can discuss their experiences. You can do this by signing them up for a support group via the National Psoriasis Foundation, or even asking your childs dermatologist if they have a similar-aged patient who may be open and willing to connect with your child, says Marisa Garshick, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist at Medical Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery (MDCS) in New York City. This can do wonders for your childs self-confidence, self-esteem, and mood.
Having a chronic condition during childhood can be significant and if you are noticing any changes in the mental health of your child, be sure to make your doctor aware so they can help identify and address the emotional impact of the disease, Dr. Garshick says.
By taking the steps to prepare your child for the social challenges that they may experience because of psoriasis, you are creating a foundation for understanding and for tolerating the discussions surrounding their condition. This is important because it builds up their confidence and reminds them that they are not defined by this condition alone.

Taltz Showed Consistent, Long-Term Improvement in Key Signs and Symptoms of Axial Spondyloarthritis Through Two Years in Phase 3 Study – PRNewswire
Posted: at 5:51 am
INDIANAPOLIS, June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) will present new data from Phase 3 studies that further demonstrated the long-term efficacy and safety profile of Taltz(ixekizumab) among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). These results are being presented at the virtual Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR), June 2-5, 2021.
AxSpA is recognized as a single disease entity, with two subtypes which are defined depending on the presence (radiographic axSpA, or r-axSpA) or absence (non-radiographic axSpA, or nr-axSpA) of defined structural damage of the sacroiliac joints on plain x-ray films as per the modified New York (mNY) criteria.
"Patients living with axial spondyloarthritis deal with a range of chronic, debilitating symptoms, including inflammatory back pain, and are in need of treatment options that can provide long-term efficacy," said Lotus Mallbris, M.D., Ph.D., vice president of immunology development at Lilly. "We are excited to present a range of new data at EULAR that demonstrate treatment with Taltz provides consistent, long-term efficacy on common signs and symptoms over time in axial spondyloarthritis."
Taltz Showed Sustained Long-Term Improvements in axSpA Through Two Years
In COAST-Y, Taltz showed consistent and sustained long-term improvements in signs and symptoms, functionality and quality of life in patients with r- and nr-axSpA. In this study, more than half of patients (56.7%) treated continuously with Taltz (80 mg every four weeks, n=157) through two years achieved Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society 40% response (ASAS40).
Among those treated continuously with Taltz every four weeks for two years:
The safety profile of Taltz was consistent with previously published safety data, and no new safety signals were observed after up to two years of treatment.
For methodology, see the "About the Analyses" section below. Additional results from the Phase 3 COAST-Y study were also recently published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
Most Patients Treated with Taltz Did Not Show Bone Damage Progression of r-axSpA Up to Two Years
An analysis of two Phase 3 studies in r-axSpA (COAST-V and COAST-W) and the long-term extension trial (COAST-Y), found that 9 out of 10 patients treated with Taltz (89.6%, n=206) did not show radiographic progression for up to two years, as measured by mean change from baseline of modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) <2. Overall mean rates of progression were low among patients treated with Taltz. These results were similar among patients who were previously treated with anti-TNF therapy (88%, n= 106) and those who had not previously been treated with a biologic (91%, n=100). For methodology, see the "About the Analyses" section below.
"If left uncontrolled, individuals living with active radiographic axSpA can experience severe, chronic pain and structural damage in the spine that can lead to fusion of the spine and loss of mobility," said Walter P. Maksymowych, M.D., FRCP (C), Professor of Medicine at the University of Alberta, and Chief Medical Officer, CARE Arthritis, Edmonton, CA, and the senior author of this analysis. "Most patients treated with ixekizumab did not show structural damage progression at two years, and the degree of progression was small. In addition to known predictors, the novel finding is that attainment of remission of inflammation on MRI at one year protected from progression at two years."
Notably, Lilly will also present new analyses in axSpA and psoriatic arthritis, including the following:
More than 175,000 patients have been treated with Taltz worldwide since launch, giving healthcare providers confidence in making informed prescribing decisions for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis, active ankylosing spondylitis, active nr-axSpA and moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
About the Analyses
INDICATIONS AND USAGE FOR TALTZ Taltz is approved for the treatment of patients 6 years of age and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy and for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis, active ankylosing spondylitis, or active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis with objective signs of inflammation.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TALTZ
CONTRAINDICATIONSTaltz is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction, such as anaphylaxis, to ixekizumab or to any of the excipients.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS InfectionsTaltz may increase the risk of infection. In clinical trials of adult patients with plaque psoriasis, the Taltz group had a higher rate of infections than the placebo group (27% vs 23%). A similar increase in risk of infection was seen in placebo-controlled trials of adult patients with psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and pediatric patients with plaque psoriasis. Serious infections have occurred. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a serious infection develops, discontinue Taltz until the infection resolves.
Pre-Treatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with Taltz. Do not administer to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering Taltz. Closely monitor patients receiving Taltz for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment.
Hypersensitivity Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria (each 0.1%), occurred in the Taltz group in clinical trials. Anaphylaxis, including cases leading to hospitalization, has been reported in post-marketing use with Taltz. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue Taltz immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients treated with Taltz may be at an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease. In clinical trials, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, including exacerbations, occurred at a greater frequency in the Taltz group than the placebo group. During Taltz treatment, monitor patients for onset or exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease and if IBD occurs, discontinue Taltz and initiate appropriate medical management.
Immunizations Prior to initiating therapy with Taltz, consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with Taltz.
ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions (1%) associated with Taltz treatment are injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, nausea, oropharingeal pain and tinea infections. Overall, the safety profiles observed in adult patients with psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and pediatric patients with plaque psoriasis were consistent with the safety profile in adult patients with plaque psoriasis, with the exception of influenza and conjunctivitis in psoriatic arthritis and conjunctivitis, influenza, and urticaria in pediatric psoriasis (also common). Adverse drug reactions in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (ankylosing spondylitis) were similar with the exception of inflammatory bowel disease (common) and rhinitis (common). In patients with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, adverse events were also similar to inflammatory bowel disease (common), influenza (common) and conjunctivitis (common).
Please see full Prescribing Information and Medication Guide for Taltz. See Instructions for Use included with the device.
IX HCP ISI 07MAY2020
About TaltzTaltz is a monoclonal antibody that selectively binds with interleukin 17A (IL-17A) cytokine and inhibits its interaction with the IL-17 receptor.IL-17A is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses.Taltz inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
About Axial SpondlyoarthritisAxial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which includes both radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA), is a disease predominantly affecting the sacroiliac joints and the spine. Common symptoms include chronic inflammatory back pain, fatigue and stiffness.1,2,3It is estimated that 2.3 million people in the U.S. have axSpA, and approximately half of those individuals live with nr-axSpA.2,4For patients with r-axSpA, the disease is characterized by the presence of structural damage of the sacroiliac joints that appears on an X-ray, while patients with nr-axSpA do not have clearly detectable structural damage radiographically.5These two patient subsets share a similar burden of disease and similar clinical features, but approved biologic treatment options for patients with nr-axSpA are much more limited and patients are often underdiagnosed.5,6
