Synergistic Epistasis and Systems Biology Approaches to Uncover a Pharmacogenomic Map Linked to Pain, Anti-Inflammatory and Immunomodulating Agents (PAIma) in a Healthy Cohort

Article

Author: Motovali-Bashi, Majid ; Blum, Kenneth ; Sharafshah, Alireza ; Keshavarz, Parvaneh

Abstract:

The global public health addiction crisis has been stark, with over 932,400 deaths in the USA and Canada from opioid overdose since 1999–2020, surpassing the mortality rates at the top of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Both nations exhibit opioid consumption rates significantly above the norm for developed countries. Analgesic type of opioids present both therapeutic benefits and substantial health risks, necessitating balanced drug regulation, careful prescribing, and dedicated opioid stewardship. The role of the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) system (Enzymatic functions) in metabolizing opioids highlights the potential of genotype-guided analgesia. By integrating Pharmacogenomics (PGx), this approach aims to optimize pain management, enhance safety, and reduce addiction risks. This understanding prompted the utilization of multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) to explore a range of phenotypes including PGx and gene–gene interactions (GGI) in a healthy cohort, thereby personalizing pain management strategies. The study sampled 100 unrelated healthy Western Iranians and 100 individuals from the 1000 Genome Project. Pre-testing involved searching for PGx annotations (variants associated with drug-gene-diseases) related to pain sensitivity and inflammation using the PharmGKB database, which identified 128 relevant genes. A questionnaire helped select 100 participants who had never used potent opioids but also other psychoactive agents (e.g., nicotine, amphetamines, etc.) and disease-related drugs. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was then employed to analyze these genes in an Iranian cohort. Further analyses included MDR for identifying synergistic gene annotations and GGI for exploring complex gene interactions through the Visualization of Statistical Epistasis Networks (ViSEN). The study identified a Pain, Anti-Inflammatory, and Immunomodulating agents (PAIma) panel from the 128 genes, resulting in 55,590 annotations across 21 curated pathways. After filtering, 54 significant structural or regulatory variants were identified. This research also highlighted novel gene relationships involving the CYP3A5 gene, hsa-miR-355-5p, Paliperidone, and CYP2D6, which warrant further investigation. This study offers a novel pharmacogenetic framework that could potentially transform opioid prescribing practices to mitigate misuse and enhance personalized pain management. Further validation of these findings from multi countries and ethnic groups could guide clinicians in implementing DNA-based opioid prescribing, aligning treatment more closely with individual genetic profiles.Graphical abstract

Drug-induced hyponatraemia and possible related signals: Analysis of 659 cases reported to the Spanish Pharmacovigilance System and disproportionality analysis

Article

Author: Sainz-Gil, María ; Estévez Asensio, Lucía ; Fernández-Araque, Ana M. ; Verde Rello, Zoraida ; Velasco-González, Verónica ; Fernández-Araque, Ana M ; García, Montserrat

INTRODUCTION:

Hyponatraemia has negative effects on cognitive function and gait stability and is a risk factor for osteoporosis, falls, fractures and hospital mortality. Acute hyponatraemia can lead to neurological dysfunction due to cerebral oedema. Its rapid correction can also be fatal, leading to osmotic demyelination syndrome. For some antiepileptics, thiazides, benzodiazepines or antidepressants this reaction is widely described. Knowing which drugs are most likely to cause hyponatraemia will allow early detection and prevention of its complications, as well as individualising the prescription of these drugs according to the patient's characteristics.

OBJECTIVE:

The main objectives are to identify potential new safety signals related to hyponatraemia and to analyse the cases of hyponatraemia reported to the Spanish Pharmacovigilance System for Medicines for Human Use (SEFV-H).

METHOD:

A disproportionality and a descriptive analysis of individual case safety reports (ICSR) was performed in the SEFV-H database (FEDRA).

RESULTS:

Six hundred and fifty-nine cases of suspected drug-induced hyponatraemia were found (0.6% of the total database). Over the 5 years period studied, there was a 57% increase in the number of hyponatraemia reports in Spain. Most of the reported cases were serious (93%). Patients were most often women (63.7%) and elderly (71.9%). The time to onset ranged from 1 to 7030 days (median, 79 days) and approximately 70% of the total occurred within the first year of treatment. Five hundred and forty-six patients (82.9%) showed complete recovery after the withdrawal of the suspected medicine. Diuretics (reported in 57.7% of the cases), antidepressants (in 25%), drugs acting on renin angiotensin system (in 24%) and antiepileptics (in 20.2%) were the most frequent involved drugs. Disproportionate reporting has been found for almost all the substances most frequently reported, higher for amiloride and oxcarbazepine. Regarding new safety signals, the Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) (95% CI) was found to be statistically significant for valsartan [7.7 (5.1-11.5)], olmesartan [7.3 (4.7-11.1)], amlodipine [3.4 (2.1-5.4)], pregabalin [2.5 (1.4-4.5)], irbesartan [18.6 (9.6-35.9)], paliperidone [2.7 (1.3-5.7)], ritonavir [2.4 (1.1-5.5)], atosiban [29.7 (8.6-102.2)], melphalan [9.7 (3.5-26.8)] and clozapine [4.4 (1.6-11.8)]. These active ingredients do not include this reaction on their SPC and comply with the EMA criteria for a safety signals.

CONCLUSION:

There are increasing reports of drug-induced hyponatraemia. It can be serious and seems to most often affect women over 65 years of age who take more than 1 medication. The time to onset varies and can be very long, so patient monitoring should be continuous throughout treatment. Hydrochlorothiazide is the drug with the highest number of reported cases in our setting. In terms of disproportionate reporting, diuretics leads the list, followed by antiepileptics as oxcarbazepine and eslicarbazepine. Safety signals were found for several drugs, more plausibly for pregabalin and paliperidone, thus a possible association between these drugs and hyponatraemia/SIAD is identified. This signal must be further studied. Meanwhile healthcare professionals should pay attention to this possibility. The reporting of suspected ADRs is essential to understand the risks associated with medicines once they are on the market.

Efficacy and tolerability of blonanserin in schizophrenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Review

Author: Dong, Shimeng ; Schneider-Thoma, Johannes ; Wu, Hui ; Yanagimoto, Hiroko ; Lin, Xiao ; Tian, Jing ; Leucht, Stefan ; Nomura, Nobuyuki ; Qin, Mengchang ; Siafis, Spyridon

BACKGROUND:

Blonanserin is approved for treating schizophrenia in Japan, South Korea, India, and China. We aimed to synthesize the efficacy and tolerability of blonanserin compared to other antipsychotics.

METHODS:

A systematic review and pairwise meta-analysis were conducted using the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group's study-based trial register until January 24, 2024. We included open and blinded randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving schizophrenia patients, with studies lasting at least 3 weeks. Primary outcomes focused on overall schizophrenia symptoms using rating scales and relapse rates. Secondary outcomes included symptom subtypes, treatment response, dropout rates, quality of life, and side effects, analyzed using standardized mean difference (SMD), mean difference (MD), and risk ratio (RR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). The review protocol was published in Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/e7jfa/).

RESULTS:

Fourteen acute-phase studies with 2697 participants compared blonanserin to olanzapine, haloperidol, risperidone, paliperidone, aripiprazole, amisulpride, and placebo. Blonanserin showed greater efficacy than placebo (SMD = -0.47, 95 % CI: -0.66 to -0.27) and similar efficacy to other antipsychotics in reducing schizophrenia overall symptoms. No data on the number of participants who experienced relapse with blonanserin was available in the single maintenance-phase study. There were also no clear differences between antipsychotics in most secondary efficacy outcomes, but blonanserin produced less prolactin and weight increase but more akathisia and tremor than risperidone, and less prolactin increase, anticholinergic and extrapyramidal side-effects than haloperidol.

CONCLUSION:

Our study suggests that differences in efficacy between blonanserin and other antipsychotics are small and that blonanserin has a different tolerability profile than haloperidol and risperidone.

Johnson & Johnson highlights innovative neuropsychiatry portfolio and pipeline at Psych Congress

New five-year data reinforce long-term safety and efficacy of SPRAVATO® (esketamine) in patients with inadequate response to two or more oral antidepressants (treatment-resistant depression) 23 abstracts highlight data from Company's robust portfolio and pipeline, including clinical insights on major depressive disorder and the significant burden of anhedonia and insomnia symptoms Large real-world analysis highlights the link between reducing relapse and improving survival in schizophrenia TITUSVILLE, N.J., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced today that 23 abstracts featuring new real-world and clinical trial data from across its neuropsychiatry portfolio and pipeline will be presented at the annual U.S. Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress (Psych Congress), taking place October 29 to November 2 in Boston, Massachusetts. Presentations include new data supporting the safety and efficacy of SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray and the Company's innovative portfolio of long-acting injectables (LAIs) for schizophrenia, as well as data highlighting the significant burden people living with major depressive disorder (MDD) and schizophrenia often face. "For nearly seven decades, J&J has been at the forefront of driving scientific progress and innovation in neuroscience," said Bill Martin, Ph.D., Global Neuroscience Therapeutic Area Head, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "It is our responsibility and privilege to help advance research and understanding of MDD and schizophrenia so we can continue to deliver transformational therapies that address the greatest unmet patient needs." Key presentations include: New five-year, real-world safety data from nearly 35,000 adults treated with SPRAVATO®, building on more than a decade of research and reinforcing its well-studied, consistent safety profile (Poster 151). Novel insights into the clinical, humanistic and economic burden of anhedonia in adults with MDD (Poster 113). Results from an analysis of more than 30,000 adults with schizophrenia highlighting the link between symptom relapse and risk of death, which can occur 15‐20 years prematurely for adults living with schizophrenia compared to the general population due to many different causes.1 (Poster 42). "Serious mental illness is one of the most complex health challenges of our time," said Pearl Pugh, President, U.S. Neuroscience, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "Understanding the patient experience is at the core of our mission to develop breakthrough solutions that can help improve care and make a difference in the lives of those living with challenging-to-treat mental illnesses." J&J will present the following posters at Psych Congress on October 31 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. ET and November 1 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. ET in the Exhibit Hall. ABOUT TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION Depression is a common mental health disorder that impacts an estimated 280 million people worldwide.2 In the U.S., approximately 21 million adults have had at least one major depressive episode, and approximately one-third of medication-treated adults are considered to have TRD.3,4 People living with MDD are often considered to have TRD if they have not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressants of adequate dose and duration in the current depressive episode.4 TRD has a significant negative impact on the lives of those affected and has one of the highest economic burdens of all psychiatric disorders.4 ABOUT SPRAVATO® SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with an oral antidepressant for adults with TRD and depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior. It is the first treatment to use a new mechanism of action in decades for the treatment of TRD. SPRAVATO® is a non-selective, non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and is believed to work differently by acting on a pathway in the brain that affects glutamate. To date, SPRAVATO® has been approved in 79 countries and administered to more than 100,000 patients worldwide. ABOUT MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER WITH INSOMNIA SYMPTOMS MDD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders and leading causes of disability worldwide,5 with an estimated 280 million people living with the disorder around the world.2 MDD is often accompanied by sleep disturbances such as insomnia or hypersomnia, affecting up to 60 percent of patients with MDD.6 Disturbed sleep and insomnia symptoms have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life and exacerbate the risk of depressive relapse and suicide.7,8 ABOUT SELTOREXANT Seltorexant, an investigational potential first-in-class therapy, is a selective antagonist of the human orexin-2 receptor currently being developed as an adjunctive treatment for adults with MDD with insomnia symptoms. Seltorexant is believed to selectively antagonize the orexin-2 receptors, potentially improving mood and sleep symptoms associated with depression. When orexin-2 receptors are stimulated for too long or at inappropriate times, their activation can cause hyperarousal manifestations, including insomnia and excessive cortisol release, which may contribute to depression and insomnia. ABOUT SCHIZOPHRENIA Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe brain disorder affecting approximately 20 million people worldwide and an estimated 2.4 million adults in the U.S.9-11 The disease is characterized by distortions in thinking, perception, emotions, language, sense of self, and behavior.9 It can also lead to neurological impairment and severe disability.12 Antipsychotic medication is recognized as an essential component in the treatment of schizophrenia, and adherence to medication plays a critical role in controlling symptoms and costly relapses.13 ABOUT J&J'S U.S. LONG-ACTING INJECTABLES The J&J U.S. portfolio of long-acting injectable treatments for adults with schizophrenia provides the most varied range of dosing options and the longest-lasting schizophrenia treatments with each dose available. Our portfolio includes INVEGA SUSTENNA® (1-month paliperidone palmitate), INVEGA TRINZA® (3-month paliperidone palmitate), and INVEGA HAFYERA® (6-month paliperidone palmitate), all of which are administered in a clinical setting by a medical professional. Long-acting injectables (LAIs) allow for the slow release of medicine into the bloodstream and have been available and studied for more than 50 years. Based on clinical guidance, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and the American Psychiatric Association have updated their guidance and practice guidelines to recommend the use of LAIs for appropriate patients.14-16 SPRAVATO® IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION What is SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray?

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), including non-GAAP net income and EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP net income adjusts for certain one-time and non-cash charges by excluding from GAAP results: share-based compensation expense; amortization; depreciation; non-cash net interest expense; change in the fair value of contingent consideration; certain other one-time or non-cash items; and the income tax effect of these reconciling items. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization; earnings include share-based compensation expense. The company's management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company's performance. The company provides these non-GAAP financial measures of the company's performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the company's results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, non-GAAP net income and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net income and EBITDA should not be considered measures of the company's liquidity. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.

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)

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 HCPsNew 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 identifiedNew 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 37th 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).1Patients also reported using LAIs due to fewer side effects versus oral antipsychotics (38%, n=127) and to help prevent hospitalization (20%, n=67).1Caregivers (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).1Among 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.1The 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 SchizophreniaSchizophrenia 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 UZEDYUZEDY (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 PSYCHOSISElderly 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.
