Voxelotor, sold under the brand name Oxbryta, is a medication used for the treatment of sickle cell disease. [1] [3] [4] [5] [6] Voxelotor is the first hemoglobin oxygen-affinity modulator. [7] Voxelotor has been shown to have disease-modifying potential by increasing hemoglobin levels and decreasing hemolysis indicators in sickle cell patients. [8] It has a safe profile in sickle cell patients and healthy volunteers, without any dose-limiting toxicity. [9] It was developed by Global Blood Therapeutics, a subsidiary of Pfizer. [10]

Contents

In November 2019, voxelotor received accelerated approval in the United States for the treatment of sickle cell disease for those twelve years of age and older. [11] [12] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication. [13] In December 2021, voxelotor received accelerated approval in the United States for the treatment of sickle cell disease for those aged four to eleven years. [14]

Side effects

Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, rash and pyrexia (fever). [11]

History

Voxelotor was granted accelerated approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2019. [12] [11] [15] The FDA granted the application for voxelotor fast track designation and orphan drug designation. [11] [16]

The approval of voxelotor was based on the results of a clinical trial with 274 participants with sickle cell disease. [11] The FDA granted the approval of Oxbryta to Global Blood Therapeutics. [11] [12]

Society and culture

On 16 December 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 the medicinal product Oxbryta, intended for the treatment of hemolytic anemia due to sickle cell disease. [17] [18] The applicant for this medicinal product is Global Blood Therapeutics Netherlands B.V. [17] [18] Voxelotor (Oxbryta) was approved for medical use in the European Union in February 2022.

Trastuzumab deruxtecan, sold under the brand name Enhertu, is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of the humanized monoclonal antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin) covalently linked to the topoisomerase I inhibitor deruxtecan. It is licensed for the treatment of breast cancer or gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Trastuzumab binds to and blocks signaling through epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu) on cancers that rely on it for growth. Additionally, once bound to HER2 receptors, the antibody is internalized by the cell, carrying the bound deruxtecan along with it, where it interferes with the cell's ability to make DNA structural changes and replicate its DNA during cell division, leading to DNA damage when the cell attempts to replicate itself, destroying the cell.
