Crisugabalin, a ligand for the αδ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, exhibits no obvious abuse potential in rodents

Article

Author: Wang, Ju ; Liu, Yijiang ; Lu, Yao ; Ye, Qidi ; Zeng, Linggao ; Gou, Xiaoli ; Li, Yao ; Shi, Zongjun ; Chen, Ying ; Dong, Yansheng ; Meng, Qingyuan ; He, Lingzhi

Crisugabalin, a novel third-generation ligand targeting the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, has been approved in China for the treatment of pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. Existing research suggests that ligands for the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels may carry a risk of abuse. To evaluate the abuse potential of crisugabalin, five well-recognized animal models were utilized in these preclinical studies. Firstly, an intravenous self-administration paradigm was implemented in rats that were self-administering propofol to assess the reinforcing effects of crisugabalin. Secondly, a rat drug discrimination study was employed to determine the pharmacological similarity between crisugabalin and the training drug midazolam. Then, a conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm in rats was utilized to evaluate the rewarding properties of crisugabalin. After that, a spontaneous withdrawal study was conducted in rats chronically treated with crisugabalin to examine the liability of developing physical dependence. Finally, a mouse pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsion model was used following chronic exposure to crisugabalin to assess its potential for physical dependence. The results indicated that crisugabalin showed no positive reinforcing effects and did not display midazolam-like discriminative stimulus effects. Moreover, crisugabalin did not induce significant CPP in rats and there was no risk of physical dependence in the pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsion model. In the rat spontaneous withdrawal study, crisugabalin demonstrated a very low level of physical dependence. These findings suggest that crisugabalin has minimal to no potential for abuse, thereby establishing itself as a safer option relative to pregabalin and mirogabalin.

Short-term clinical outcomes of mirogabalin for carpal tunnel syndrome: A single-center retrospective pilot study

Article

Author: Nakadai, Masato ; Kawashima, Hiroyuki ; Yoda, Takuya ; Oinuma, Takeo ; Takano, Takehito ; Suzuki, Nobuaki

Aims & objectives:

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve, leading to neuropathic pain such as numbness and nocturnal discomfort, thus impacting daily life. Mirogabalin besylate (MGB), a novel gabapentinoid, shows promise for neuropathic pain, but its efficacy in CTS remains unclear.Therefore, this pilot study aimed to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of MGB for CTS.

Materials & methods:

This retrospective observational study examined 21 patients with CTS who received MGB between April 2022 and March 2023. Evaluations included the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Instrument (CTSI), Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Quick DASH), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and 12 weeks after treatment. The primary outcome was the change in CTSI-total. Secondary outcomes included CTSI subparts (symptom severity and functional status), Quick DASH, VAS, and adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

Results:

MGB led to significant improvement in CTSI-total (p=0.022), with medium standardized response mean (SRM) and effect size (ES). CTSI-symptom severity (p<0.01) and VAS (p<0.001) also improved, showing medium SRM and ES for CTSI and large SRM and ES for VAS. No significant changes were observed in CTSI-functional status (p=0.349) or Quick DASH (p=0.102). ADRs occurred in 42.9 % of patients, mostly mild.

Conclusions:

MGB demonstrated significant short-term efficacy in improving CTS symptoms and reducing pain, though mild ADRs were common. Further studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes and compare MGB with other treatments.

Levels of evidence:

Level IV.

Mirogabalin and pregabalin alleviate nociplastic sensitization induced by chemogenetic activation of the central amygdala neurons in rodents

Article

Author: Yajima, Manami ; Uezono, Yasuhito ; Takahashi, Yukari ; Kato, Fusao

Nociplastic pain represents the third mechanistic descriptor of pain, alongside neuropathic and nociceptive pain, as proposed in 2017 by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP). It describes pain occurring in the absence of nociceptor activation, tissue damage, or neuropathy. The underlying brain mechanisms of nociplastic pain remain poorly understood. Despite the potentially large patient population with chronic pain of this class, effective pharmacological treatments for nociplastic pain are still limited, highlighting the urgent need for drug development using appropriate preclinical models. In this study, we investigated the anti-sensitization effects of two gabapentinoids-mirogabalin besylate (MGB) and pregabalin (PGB)-using a rodent model of nociplastic pain. This model involves experimental excitation of central amygdala neurons via designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs), causing widespread sensitization. Administration of an artificial ligand, deschloroclozapine (DCZ; 0.1 mg/kg, i.p.), significantly reduced the 50 %-paw withdrawal threshold, which was significantly elevated by MGB (10 mg/kg, i.p.) and PGB (30 mg/kg, i.p.), restoring it to levels not significantly different from the pre-DCZ baseline. We conclude that MGB and PGB alleviate widespread sensitization in this nociplastic pain model, likely through their action on α₂δ-1 subunits within brain circuits that regulate pain sensitivity.

Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Market to Exhibit Growth at a CAGR of 4.1% by 2034 | DelveInsight

The increasing cases of peripheral neuropathic pain, rise in screening for diabetic neuropathic pain among diabetics, increase in the geriatric population, and launch of new approved drugs, among other reasons are likely to fuel the growth of the peripheral neuropathic pain market size during the forecast period (2024–2034). LAS VEGAS, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --DelveInsight's Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Market Insights report includes a comprehensive understanding of current treatment practices, peripheral neuropathic pain emerging drugs, market share of individual therapies, and current and forecasted market size from 2020 to 2034, segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan]. Key Takeaways from the Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Market Report According to DelveInsight's analysis, the market size for peripheral neuropathic pain was found to be ~ USD 12 billion in the 7MM in 2023. The United States accounts for the largest market size of PNP in comparison to EU4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France), the United Kingdom, and Japan. The total cases of peripheral neuropathic pain in the 7MM were approximately 60 million cases in 2023, which are expected to increase during the study period (2020–2034). Leading peripheral neuropathic pain companies such as Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Merz Therapeutics, Apurano Pharmaceuticals, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, WEX Pharmaceuticals, Scilex Holding Company, and others are developing novel peripheral neuropathic pain drugs that can be available in the peripheral neuropathic pain market in the coming years. The promising peripheral neuropathic pain therapies in the pipeline include LX9211, XEOMIN (incobotulinumtoxinA), Adezunap (AP707), Suzetrigine (VX-548), HALNEURON (Tetrodotoxin or TTX), SEMDEXA (SP-102), and others. Compared to all the emerging therapies, LX9211 and SEMDEXA are expected to become the market leader, having a major influence on the peripheral neuropathic pain market of the 7MM by 2034. In November 2023, Lexicon Pharmaceuticals announced that it has enrolled the first patient in PROGRESS (A Phase IIb, dose-ranging, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study with an open-label extension in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain) studying LX9211. Discover which therapies are expected to grab the major peripheral neuropathic pain market share @ Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Market Report Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Overview Peripheral neuropathies refer to conditions affecting peripheral nerve cells and fibers, arising from a variety of underlying causes. These nerves include the cranial nerves, spinal nerve roots and ganglia, nerve trunks and divisions, and the autonomic nervous system nerves. Peripheral neuropathies can be classified in several ways, such as mononeuropathies, multifocal neuropathies, and polyneuropathies. Mononeuropathy involves damage to a single nerve, while multiple mononeuropathy affects two or more nerves in different locations. Polyneuropathy typically impacts many or most nerves. The diversity of symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathy allows for the identification of distinct clinical phenotypes, which is important for guiding the diagnostic process. Nerve conduction studies are crucial for determining the phenotype and assessing severity. Additional diagnostic tools, such as laboratory tests, genetic testing, cerebrospinal fluid examination, nerve imaging, and nerve biopsy, may be useful in specific clinical situations. Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Epidemiology Segmentation The peripheral neuropathic pain epidemiology section provides insights into the historical and current peripheral neuropathic pain patient pool and forecasted trends for the 7MM. It helps recognize the causes of current and forecasted patient trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. The peripheral neuropathic pain market report proffers epidemiological analysis for the study period 2020–2034 in the 7MM segmented into: Total Cases of PNP Type-specific Cases of PNP Treated Cases of PNP Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Treatment Market The treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain depends on the underlying cause and the severity of symptoms. Initial management typically involves conservative measures, including medications such as NSAIDs, acetaminophen, and, in more severe cases, opioids. For radicular symptoms, neuroleptic agents may be used, and systemic steroids are sometimes prescribed for acute low back pain. Nonpharmacological treatments like physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic manipulation, and traction are also employed, though their effectiveness is debated. Interventional procedures, such as epidural steroid injections and percutaneous disc decompression, are commonly performed, while surgical options like decompression and spinal fusion are considered for cases that do not respond to other treatments. Pain management for PNP also includes the use of drugs such as NSAIDs, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants, with specific medications like QUTENZA, NUCYNTA ER, and TARLIGE approved for certain patient groups. TARLIGE (mirogabalin besylate) is an oral gabapentinoid developed by Daiichi Sankyo to treat peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP), including diabetic PNP and postherpetic neuralgia. In January 2019, Daiichi Sankyo announced that TARLIGE received approval for marketing in Japan for PNP treatment, offering patients in Japan a new therapeutic option for managing PNP. NUCYNTA ER (tapentadol) is an opioid agonist available as an extended-release film-coated tablet for oral use. It is prescribed for managing neuropathic pain related to diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). In August 2012, the US FDA approved a sNDA for NUCYNTA ER, allowing it to be used as an oral analgesic taken twice daily to manage neuropathic pain in adults with DPN when ongoing, around-the-clock opioid treatment is required for a prolonged duration. The QUTENZA (capsaicin) 8% topical system delivers capsaicin through a localized dermal application. Capsaicin acts as an agonist for the TRPV1 receptor. In July 2020, Grünenthal's US subsidiary, Averitas Pharma, obtained FDA approval for the QUTENZA 8% patch to treat neuropathic pain related to diabetic peripheral neuropathy in the feet of adults.

Emerging disease-modifying therapies for diabetic neuropathy, CIPN, and LSR are gaining attention due to the growing prevalence of cancer, increased chemotherapy usage, and the large patient pool in need of pain management. The lack of disease-modifying treatment options in the current landscape, which relies solely on symptomatic relief, highlights the market potential for these therapies. Recent developmental activities targeting novel pathways, such as adapter-associated kinase 1 (AAK1) and the Nav1.8 voltage-gated sodium channel, aim to provide opioid-free pain relief, which could lead to a high uptake and the ability to charge a premium price. Furthermore, potential therapies are being investigated for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain, and it is safe to predict that the treatment space will significantly impact the peripheral neuropathic pain market during the forecast period. Moreover, the anticipated introduction of emerging therapies with improved efficacy and a further improvement in the diagnosis rate are expected to drive the growth of the peripheral neuropathic pain market in the 7MM. However several factors may impede the growth of the peripheral neuropathic pain market. The management of DPN is challenging due to the persistent and severe nature of neuropathic pain, which is frequently ineffectively treated and negatively impacts the quality of life, further complicated by pharmacogenetic and genetic variations in patients; additionally, while improving glycemic control in Type-2 diabetes remains uncertain, the availability of low-cost generics in the treatment landscape may significantly hamper the uptake of emerging therapies, increasing the burden and associated health costs. Moreover, peripheral neuropathic pain treatment poses a significant economic burden and disrupts patients' overall well-being and QOL. Furthermore, peripheral neuropathic pain market growth may be offset by failures and discontinuation of emerging therapies, unaffordable pricing, market access and reimbursement issues, and a shortage of healthcare specialists. In addition, the undiagnosed, unreported cases and the unawareness about the disease may also impact peripheral neuropathic pain market growth.

Daiichi Sankyo’s Mirogabalin Displays Significant Reduction in Post-SCI Neuropathic Pain

A phase 3 study from Daiichi Sankyo Company conducted in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan found that mirogabalin, an orally administered gabapentinoid, was associated with a significantly greater improvement in pain among patients with central neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury compared with placebo. A phase 3 study from Daiichi Sankyo Company conducted in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan found that mirogabalin, an orally administered gabapentinoid, was associated with a significantly greater improvement in pain among patients with central neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury compared with placebo. The study included 274 patients with central neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury who were randomly assigned to either mirogabalin or placebo. Researchers of the study assessed the change in the average daily pain score, from baseline to week 14. The study found mirogabalin was superior to placebo for improving pain scores over this time period. In addition, the study investigators found no additional safety concerns. Daiichi Sankyo started Phase III trials for mirogabalin in 2015 starting with the REDUCER (An Asian, phase 3, multicenter, RandomizEd, Double-blind, placebo-controlled 14-week stUdy of DS-5565 in patients with diabetiC pEripheral neuRopathic pain followed by a 52-week open-label extension) study and the NEUCOURSE (An AsiaN, phasE 3, mUltiCenter, randomized, dOUble-blind, placebo-contRolled 14-week study of DS-5565 in patientS with postherpetic neuralgia followed by a 52-week open-label Extension) study. The recent study findings support results from prior studies conducted by the company in the field of chronic and disease-related pain. Back in 2017, Daiichi Sankyo announced top-line results from a Phase III trial showing mirogabalin was superior to placebo for reducing diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain. Similar to the recent study in central neuropathic pain, investigators in the 2017 study found mirogabalin resulted in significantly greater reductions in the weekly average daily pain score from baseline to week 14. There were also no significant safety concerns in this trial. Pain management has been of particular interest to Daiichi Sankyo, but so far the most promising late-stage studies have been primarily centered in Asia. Just last year, the Japanese pharmaceutical company pulled out of the U.S. pain management market after the company’s CEO decided to shift its focus to oncology. Also, Daiichi Sankyo gave back Movantik , an opioid-induced constipation therapy, to AstraZeneca last year. As it shifts to oncology in the U.S., Daiichi Sankyo announced plans to create an oncology business unit, appointing the company’s president and CEO of the U.S. Ken Keller to the role of U.S. business chief once it opens April 2021. A statement made by the company says the new business unit will align “The U.S. and European oncology businesses, global oncology functions of marketing, market access and pricing, medical affairs as well as alliance management under one team singularly devoted to people with cancer.” This transition from a small-molecule metabolic and cardiovascular pharmaceutical organization to an oncology biologics maker is part of Daiichi Sankyo’s 2025 business plan. So far, the shift to oncology has landed the company one major approval, with other imminent approvals likely on their way. In January, the company and AstraZeneca’s HER2-targeting therapy Enhertu was approved as a third-line therapy for hard-to-treat metastatic breast cancer therapy. The approval triggered a milestone payment of $125 million from AstraZeneca to Daiichi Sankyo. Also, Enhertu was recently granted priority review from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HER2-positive, metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The FDA will make the final decision on whether to approve this drug in early 2021. Featured Jobs on BioSpace

Sakigake designation A Push from government to Innovate! Essential drugs exemption from Z2 rule Balancing long listed pricing pressure! Authorized Generics, Biosimilars, and Patent Litigations Avenues to grow in JP Generic market! Increasing decline in long listed products sales, and a few success in R D in the last decade had put JP giants under pressure to refocus on Innovation with specialty therapy area to strengthen their global presence. Eisai Ajinomoto JV, TevaTakeda partnership for Speciality Generics is the actions in this direction. Fast track approval based on Sakigake designation is the step by PMDA/MHLW to encourage JP Pharmas to research in the area of high unmet medical need/orphan disease where US biotech has taken a successful leap in last decade. In innovation space, Nivolumab, Alectinib, Dolutegravir global success again demonstrate ability of JP pharma/university research house to contribute Pharma Innovation, while encouraging regulatory environment for Regenerative Medicine Drug Development and Drug Repurposing will make Japan front runner in this space. From late stage pipeline/new launch, Mirogabalin approval in Neuropathic Pain, Brintellix Cognition label expansion, Edoxaban uptake in EU, Alectinib uptake in US and ACE910 approval for hemophilia will decide Japanese Innovator growth in Global market. The biennial price cut scheduled in April2016 will balance Innovation premium with long listed price cut Z2 rule to increase R D productivity. In next 3 years, 950b drugs will go off patent in Japan and as happened in 2015, substantial volume growth due to new patent expiry opportunities will help Japanese generic companies to withstand NHI pricing pressure. Consolidation activities like TevaTakeda JV will make this growing domestic generic market more competitive and companies with direct sales model may fetch upper hand due to less dependence on wholesale distribution channel. Challenging Alimta patent and Evista patent against Lilly in Japan, and Livalo ANDA filing in US by JP Generic companies is indicative of the changing breadth of the JP generic giants from launching generics in Japan to becoming a patent challenger Intellectual property rights challenging generic company. This is a step towards finding its place against the world generic players in the coming time. Successful launch of Blopress AG, Plavix AG in last few years stamps Authorized Generics as one of the attractive opportunity for Generic players in Japan. Encouraging Uptake of Filgrastim BS and Lantus BS in Japan is indicative of Japan to be the next important market after EU in the next five years for growth of Biosimilar players. In contrast, there is a very slow uptake post launch of Remicade biosimilar 1% volume share. In this report we analyzed therapy focus, changing Strategies, pipeline and key growth drivers of 12 major Japanese biopharma companies Pure play innovators/ Innovators+ Generics/Pure play generics and detailed our view on their strategic action to withstand in domestic market and expand globally with their interest for inlicensing external innovation from the globe for increasing RD productivity and priorities on M A side.
