Tirbanibulin, sold under the brand name Klisyri, is a medication used for the treatment of actinic keratosis (AKs) on the face or scalp. [4] [5] [6] It functions as a mitotic inhibitor by inhibiting tubulin polymerization and Src kinase signaling. [7] It is potentially effective in deferring the development of AKs to squamous cell carcinoma in situ. [8]

Contents

The most common side effects include local skin reactions, application site pruritus, and application site pain. [4] [5]

Tirbanibulin was approved for medical use in the United States in December 2020, [5] [9] [10] and in the European Union in July 2021. [6] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication. [11]

Medical uses

Tirbanibulin is indicated for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis of the face or scalp. [4] [5] [6]

Mechanism of Action

Tirbanibulin, chemically known as N-benzyl-2-(5-(4-(2-morpholinoethoxy)phenyl) pyridine-2-yl) acetamide, is a microtubule and non–ATP-competitive inhibitor. [8] The drug in various ways mimics the mechanisms of chemotherapy [12] by suspending the protooncogenic Src tyrosine kinase signaling pathway. Notably, it promotes G2/M arrest during cell cycle, upregulates p53, and triggers apoptosis via caspase-3 stimulation and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage. [8]

Side effects

In several studies tirbanibulin has been observed to induce skin reactions at the site of application, ranging from mild to severe erythema, flaking, ulceration, and pain. [12]

Extensive research has not been conducted on the risks of tirbanibulin usage by specific human populations (i.e., pregnant populations). Significant differences have not been observed in the safety or effectiveness of tirbanibulin between geriatric or pediatric populations. [13]

History

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tirbanibulin based on evidence from two clinical trials (Trial 1/ NCT03285477 and Trial 2/NCT03285490) of 702 adults with actinic keratosis on the face or scalp. [5] The trials were conducted at 62 sites in the United States. [5] Participants received once daily treatment with either tirbanibulin or inactive control ointment for 5 consecutive days to the single predetermined area where they had actinic keratosis. [5] Neither the participants nor the health care providers knew which treatment was being given until after the trial was completed. [5] The benefit of tirbanibulin in comparison to control was assessed after 57 days by comparing the percentage of participants who did not have any actinic keratosis on the treatment area (100% clearance). [5]

Society and culture

In May 2021, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for tirbanibulin, intended for the treatment of actinic keratosis. [14] The applicant for this medicinal product is Almirall, S.A. Tirbanibulin was approved for medical use in the European Union in July 2021. [6] [15]

Actinic keratosis (AK), sometimes called solar keratosis or senile keratosis, is a pre-cancerous area of thick, scaly, or crusty skin. Actinic keratosis is a disorder of epidermal keratinocytes that is induced by ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. These growths are more common in fair-skinned people and those who are frequently in the sun. They are believed to form when skin gets damaged by UV radiation from the sun or indoor tanning beds, usually over the course of decades. Given their pre-cancerous nature, if left untreated, they may turn into a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. Untreated lesions have up to a 20% risk of progression to squamous cell carcinoma, so treatment by a dermatologist is recommended.
