Preface 1, 2, 3

With thousands of clinical trials underway and only a fraction of agents reaching a rapidly evolving marketplace, strategic planning for specialty pharmaceuticals can be a challenging and daunting task. In our commitment to provide timely and valuable specialty medication news to our partners, Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy is pleased to provide you our Specialty Pipeline Report. This quarterly report, dedicated exclusively to specialty products, provides insight on both upcoming and recently approved medications expected to impact the specialty landscape and your business.

Each Specialty Pipeline Report begins by detailing selected Recent Approvals that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during the previous quarter. The following section, Top Agents to Anticipate, targets specific promising specialty medications expected to have significant therapeutic and market impact after approval. The Recent Specialty Drug Approvals table is an overview of all specialty drugs approved in the previous quarter. A more comprehensive review of

the pipeline is provided in the Late Stage Agents table, which includes agents in later stages of phase III trials or those for which new drug applications (NDA) or biologic license applications (BLA) have been filed with the FDA. This table includes products that are expected to have an FDA decision within the year. The New Indications, Combinations and Formulations table provides information regarding currently approved specialty medications that are seeking approval for new indications, combinations or formulations.

In each section, pipeline agents are presented with a description of an upcoming event which is generally a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date. PDUFA authorizes the FDA to collect fees from drug sponsors, thus generating funding to expedite the drug review and approval process. This establishes two tiers (standard versus priority) from which the FDA sets a target date, or PDUFA date, for its review.

Sales projections at the time of printing are reported in U.S. dollars (millions); global data may be

substituted when US information is unavailable. The statuses below appear throughout the report and represent the medication’s classification within the FDA approval process.1,2

The accelerated approval pathway permits earlier approval of therapies developed for serious conditions with a currently unmet medical need. This designation may be based on surrogate endpoints, with post-marketing trials to verify clinical outcomes.

Breakthrough therapy designation provides for expedited development and review of drugs that treat serious or life-threatening conditions and demonstrate impressive preliminary clinical data. Breakthrough designation holds the same advantages as fast track designation with the addition of intensive FDA guidance for efficient drug development.

The fast track designation is designed to increase patient access to critical drugs that treat serious conditions with a currently unmet

medical need by facilitating a quick and efficient development and review process. Many fast track medications also receive a priority review.

Orphan drug status is granted to drugs and biologics which are intended to diagnose, prevent, or treat rare diseases and disorders that affect less than 200,000 people in the United States. A product with a greater target population may also qualify if the sponsor is not expected to recover its development and marketing costs.

A priority review designation is granted to drugs that are considered major therapeutic advancements or those used to treat conditions currently lacking adequate therapy. This status shortens the goal for FDA review from 10 to six months.

Oncology

INDICATIONTreatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) for patients with 17p deletion, as detected by an FDA-approved test, and who have received at least one prior therapy.

CLINICAL TRIAL BRIEFINGVenetoclax was evaluated for the treatment of CLL for patients with 17p deletion in an open-label, single-arm, multicenter study composed of 106 patients. Patients on study tested positive for 17p deletion and had received at least one prior treatment. Venetoclax was administered daily with 20 mg given each day during week 1, 50 mg during week 2, 100 mg during week 3, and 400 mg during week 4 and beyond. Administration continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred. Overall response rate (ORR) was evaluated by an Independent Review Committee (IRC) using International Workshop for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL)–updated National Cancer Institute–sponsored Working Group (NCI-WG) guidelines. ORR was 80.2% (95% CI: 71.3, 87.3). Additionally, the median time to first response was 0.8 months (ranging from 0.1 to 8.1 months). Median duration of response (DOR) had not been reached at the time of analysis.

DOSINGAdminister orally once daily with a meal and water at approximately the same time each day. Co-administration with anti-hyperuricemics and adequate hydration are recommended due to risk of tumor lysis syndrome. Increase the daily dose of venetoclax according to the following schedule:

CLINICAL TRIAL BRIEFINGDeutetrabenzine was evaluated for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease in two phase 3 studies. One of the studies was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial composed of 90 patients. Patients on study received deutetrabenazine or placebo for 12 weeks at dose levels ranging from 6 mg once daily to 24 mg twice daily with titration and other dosing adjustments made as needed for each individual patient. The primary endpoint of this study was the change from baseline in Total Maximal Chorea (TMC) score rated on the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale (UDRS). Patients given deutetrabenazine achieved a 2.5 point improvement (p<0.0001) compared to placebo. The other open-label study involved switching 37 patients previously on tetrabenazine to deutetrabenazine for 4 weeks. After switching treatments, TMC score was approximately one point lower compared to baseline after patients were given deutetrabenazine.

SAFETYThe most frequently reported adverse events were somnolence, falls, and nasopharyngitis.

ROUTE: OralCURRENT STATUS: FDA filing completed

CLINICAL TRIAL BRIEFINGObeticholic acid was evaluated for the treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis in a multinational, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study composed of 216 patients who could not tolerate or had not responded adequately to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Patients on study were given 5 or 10 mg of obeticholic acid or placebo once daily for 12 months. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels below 1.67 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), an ALP decrease of at least 15% from baseline, and a normal total bilirubin level after 12 months of treatment. After 6 months, patients in the 5 mg group were titrated to the 10 mg group if they demonstrated an inadequate response. The primary endpoint goal was met in 47% of patients receiving 10 mg obeticholic acid, 46% of patients in the titration group, and 10% in the placebo group (p<0.0001). Mean decrease in ALP level compared to baseline was observed in 39% of patients in the 10 mg group, 33% in the titration group, and 5% for the placebo group (p<0.0001).

Total bilirubin was significantly reduced in the 10 mg and titration groups (p<0.05). Additionally, patients receiving obeticholic acid demonstrated significant decreases in selected other liver function parameters.

SAFETYThe most commonly observed adverse event was pruritus.

CLINICAL TRIAL BRIEFINGRociletinib was evaluated for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer in a phase 1-2 study composed of 456 patients with EGFR genetic mutation, including patients with T790 genetic mutation, who had disease progression after receiving treatment with a currently available EGFR inhibitor. Rociletinib was administered at dose levels ranging from 500 to 1,000 mg daily. Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), and disease control rate (DCR) were determined. At the initial evaluations, patients with T790 genetic mutation given 500 or 625 mg of rociletinib demonstrated a PFS of 8.0 months. Originally reported ORR for the 500 mg group was 60% and a DCR of 90%. The FDA requested additional information after it was determined that the initial New Drug Application (NDA) submitted contained immature data including both confirmed and unconfirmed responses. The revised ORR including only confirmed responses was 28% for the 500 mg group and 34% for the 625 mg group with a 9 month DoR for both groups.

SAFETYThe most commonly observed adverse events included hyperglycemia, diarrhea, fatigue, decreased appetite, muscle spasms, weight loss and vomiting.

CLINICAL TRIAL BRIEFINGVelpatasvir + sofosbuvir was evaluated for the treatment of hepatitis C, genotypes 1–6, in four international phase 3 clinical studies. Three of the studies totaled 1,035 patients and involved a variety of patient types including genotypes 1–6, treatment naïve and experienced, and those with or without compensated cirrhosis. A fixed-dose of velpatasvir + sofosbuvir was administered once daily for 12 weeks for these three studies. The fourth study was composed of 267 patients with decompensated cirrhosis and patients received either velpatasvir + sofosbuvir for 12 weeks with or without ribavirin or velpatasvir + sofosbuvir for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint for all studies was sustained virologic response 12 weeks after the completion of treatment (SVR 12). Across the three studies, 98% of all patients achieved SVR 12. Among specific groups in these studies receiving velpatasvir + sofosbuvir, SVR 12 ranged from 95% to 100%. In the fourth study involving patients with decompensated cirrhosis, SVR 12 ranged from 83% to 94%.

SAFETYThe most commonly reported adverse events included headache, fatigue and nausea.

Glossary 1, 2

Accelerated Approval: Permits earlier approval of therapies developed for serious conditions with a currently unmet medical need; this designation may be based on surrogate endpoints, with post-marketing trials to verify clinical outcomes.

Adverse Event: Any undesirable experience associated with the use of a medical product in a patient.

Black Box Warning: Appears on the label of a prescription medication to alert the patient and healthcare provider about any important safety concerns, such as serious side effects or life-threatening risks.

Breakthrough Therapy: Provides for expedited development and review of drugs that treat serious or life-threatening conditions and demonstrate impressive preliminary clinical data; breakthrough designation holds the same advantages as fast track designation with the addition of intensive FDA guidance for efficient drug development.

Double-Blind Study: A clinical trial designed so that neither the participant nor the researcher knows if the treatment or a placebo has been administered.

Fast Track: Designed to increase patient access to critical drugs that treat serious conditions with a currently unmet medical need by facilitating a quick and efficient development and review process; many fast track medications also receive a priority review.

Orphan Drug Status: Granted to drugs and biologics which are intended to diagnose, prevent, or treat rare diseases and disorders that affect less than 200,000 people in the United States; a product with a greater target population may also qualify if the sponsor is not expected to recover its development and marketing costs.

Placebo-Controlled Studies: A study in which the effect of a drug is compared with the effect of a placebo (an inactive substance designed to resemble the drug).

Priority Review: Granted to drugs that are considered major therapeutic advancements or treat conditions currently lacking adequate therapy; this status shortens the goal for FDA review from ten to six months.

Randomized Study: A study design that randomly assigns participants into an experimental group or a control group. As the study is conducted, the only expected difference between the control and experimental groups in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the outcome variable being studied.

REMS: Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy; strategy to manage known or potential serious risks associated with a drug or biologic product. REMS programs included medication guides, package inserts, and communication plans.
