デューテトラベナジン

Austedo is contraindicated in patients currently taking tetrabenazine or valbenazine. Austedo may be initiated the day following discontinuation of tetrabenazine

Concomitant use of alcohol or other sedating drugs may have additive effects and worsen sedation and somnolence.

The risk of parkinsonism, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), and akathisia may be increased by concomitant use of Austedo and dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics.

Austedo is contraindicated in patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Austedo should not be used in combination with an MAOI, or within 14 days of discontinuing therapy with an MAOI.

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Deutetrabenazine is used as adrenergic uptake inhibitor. It is is indicated for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD) and tardive dyskinesia in adults. HUMAN STUDIES: Overdoses ranging from 100 mg to 1 g have been reported in the literature with tetrabenazine, a closely related vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor. The following adverse reactions occurred with overdosing: acute dystonia, oculogyric crisis, nausea and vomiting, sweating, sedation, hypotension, confusion, diarrhea, hallucinations, rubor, and tremor. Indirect treatment comparison demonstrates that for the treatment of HD chorea, deutetrabenazine has a favorable tolerability profile compared to tetrabenazine. Deutetrabenazine may increase the risk for suicidality in patients with HD. Deutetrabenazine should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias. Deutetrabenazine and its deuterated alpha-dihydrotetrabenazine and beta-dihydrotetrabenazine metabolites were negative in in vitro chromosome aberration assay in human peripheral blood lymphocytes in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. ANIMAL STUDIES: Oral administration of deutetrabenazine (5, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during organogenesis had no clear effect on embryofetal development. Oral administration of deutetrabenazine (doses of 5, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day) to female rats for 3 months resulted in estrous cycle disruption at all doses. Deutetrabenazine and its deuterated alpha-dihydrotetrabenazine and beta-dihydrotetrabenazine metabolites were negative in in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay in the presence or absence of metabolic activation and in the in vivo micronucleus assay in mice.

/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors can improve hyperkinetic movements, and are effective treatment options for chorea of Huntington disease (HD). Tetrabenazine was assessed for treating chorea in the TETRA-HD trial, and while efficacious, there are tolerability concerns possibly due to its pharmacokinetic properties. Deutetrabenazine is a novel VMAT2 inhibitor that contains deuterium, which extends active metabolite half-lives and minimizes drug concentration fluctuations. In the First-HD trial, deutetrabenazine was efficacious in treating chorea and was generally well tolerated. In the absence of a head-to-head trial, we performed an indirect treatment comparison (ITC) of the tolerability of deutetrabenazine and tetrabenazine for the treatment of HD-associated chorea, as observed in the First-HD and TETRA-HD trials, using well-established comparison methods. Data from the Phase III, 12-week, parallel-group, clinical trials First-HD (N?=?90) and TETRA-HD (N=84) were used to conduct an ITC of the tolerability of deutetrabenazine versus tetrabenazine using two anchor-based methods: Bucher comparison for unadjusted ITCs, and matching indirect comparison for adjusted ITCs. Overall adverse events (AEs; mild, moderate, and severe), serious AEs, specific AEs occurring in =10% of patients, and discontinuations (all-cause and AE-related) were included in the analysis. The risk differences of these outcomes for deutetrabenazine and tetrabenazine were estimated by subtracting the applicable placebo-adjusted risk in First-HD from that of TETRA-HD. Sensitivity analyses were performed to address differences between trials, and p-values were obtained from z-tests. Compared with tetrabenazine, deutetrabenazine was associated with a significantly lower risk of moderate to severe AEs and neuropsychiatric AEs including agitation, akathisia, depression, depression/agitated depression, drowsiness/somnolence, insomnia, and parkinsonism in both adjusted and unadjusted analyses (p<0.05 for each). Deutetrabenazine had a significantly lower rate of dose reduction or dose reduction/suspension in the unadjusted and adjusted analyses (p<0.001 for each). Deutetrabenazine resulted in numerically more mild AEs, such as diarrhea and coughing; however, these results were not statistically significant. This indirect treatment comparison demonstrates that for the treatment of HD chorea, deutetrabenazine has a favorable tolerability profile compared to tetrabenazine.

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Overdoses ranging from 100 mg to 1 g have been reported in the literature with tetrabenazine, a closely related vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor.

/OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ Deutetrabenazine should ... be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias. Certain circumstances may increase the risk of the occurrence of torsade de pointes and/or sudden death in association with the use of drugs that prolong the QTc interval, including (1) bradycardia; (2) hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia; (3) concomitant use of other drugs that prolong the QTc interval; and (4) presence of congenital prolongation of the QT interval.

/OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ Patients with Huntington's disease are at increased risk for depression, and suicidal ideation or behaviors (suicidality). Deutetrabenazine may increase the risk for suicidality in patients with Huntington's disease.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Developmental or Reproductive Toxicity/ Oral administration of deutetrabenazine (5, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day) or tetrabenazine (30 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during organogenesis had no clear effect on embryofetal development. The highest dose tested was 6 times the maximum recommended human dose of 48 mg/day, on a body surface area (mg/sq m) basis.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Developmental or Reproductive Toxicity/ Oral administration of tetrabenazine (doses of 5, 15, or 30 mg/kg/day) to female rats prior to and throughout mating, and continuing through day 7 of gestation, resulted in disrupted estrous cyclicity at doses greater than 5 mg/kg/day. No effects on mating and fertility indices or sperm parameters (motility, count, density) were observed when males were treated orally with tetrabenazine at doses of 5, 15 or 30 mg/kg/day prior to and throughout mating with untreated females.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Developmental or Reproductive Toxicity/ Oral administration of deutetrabenazine (doses of 5, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day) to female rats for 3 months resulted in estrous cycle disruption at all doses; the lowest dose tested was similar to the maximum recommended human dose (48 mg/day) on a body surface area (mg/sq m) basis.

/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Poisons A and B/

Treatment should consist of those general measures employed in the management of overdosage with any central nervous system-active drug. General supportive and symptomatic measures are recommended. Cardiac rhythm and vital signs should be monitored. In managing overdosage, the possibility of multiple drug involvement should always be considered. The physician should consider contacting a poison control center on the treatment of any overdose.
