Marketed Drugs
Vraylar (Cariprazine): Allergan (AbbVie)/Gedeon Richter
Vraylar is an oral capsule containing cariprazine as an active ingredient. It is approved in the US for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and bipolar depression. In the EU it is approved as Reagila for the treatment of schizophrenia. Cariprazine also received regulatory approval in Singapore and Thailand for the treatment of schizophrenia. The mechanism of action of cariprazine in schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder is unknown. However, the efficacy of cariprazine could be mediated through a combination of partial agonist activity at central dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors and antagonist activity at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. Cariprazine forms two major metabolites, desmethyl cariprazine (DCAR) and didesmethyl cariprazine (DDCAR), that have in vitro receptor binding profiles similar to the parent drug.
Latuda (Lurasidone Hydrochloride): Sunovion Pharmaceuticals (Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma)
Latuda is an oral tablet containing lurasidone hydrochloride as an active ingredient. It is approved in the US for bipolar depression in pediatric patients (10-17 years of age) and schizophrenic patients (adolescent and adult); given as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy in adult patients with bipolar depression. In the EU, it is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, whereas in Japan, it is approved for both, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
The company is also conducting a phase IIII randomized, 6-week, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, flexible-dose, parallel-group study of lurasidone for the treatment of bipolar I depression in China. The mechanism of action of lurasidone in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar depression is unclear. However, its efficacy in schizophrenia and bipolar depression could be mediated through a combination of central dopamine D2 and serotonin Type 2 (5HT2A) receptor antagonism.
Emerging Drugs
Abilify: Otsuka Pharmaceutical
Abilify (aripiprazole) is indicated to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder (manic depression), and major depressive disorder. It is available as a tablet and suspension for injection. Oral solution and intramuscular injection of Abilify is discontinued in the US. The mechanism of action of aripiprazole in schizophrenia or bipolar mania is unclear. However, the efficacy of aripiprazole could be mediated through a combination of partial agonist activity at D2 and 5-HT1A receptors and antagonist activity at 5-HT2A receptors. Otsuka Holding is currently evaluating Abilify (tablet) in phase III clinical trial as an adjunctive treatment in the treatment of major depressive episodes associated with bipolar I or II disorder.
Falkieri: Celon Pharma
Falkieri (Esketamine DPI/Esketamine dry powder Inhaler) is an esketamine formulation and acts as an NMDA antagonist. The antidepressant activity of ketamine is established recently, even though it is majorly used in anesthesia. Esketamine as in form S-enantiomer is pharmacologically 3-4 times more potent to R-enantiomer. The goal of the project is to develop an innovative and convenient formulation for the patients to use Esketamine. The molecule has received approval by US FDA in March 2019, under the brand name Spravato, in conjunction with an oral antidepressant, for the treatment of depression in adults who have tried other antidepressant medicines but have not benefited from them.
The US FDA granted this approval of Spravato to Janssen Pharmaceuticals. Janssen had received fast track and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for intranasal ESK in 2013 for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and in 2016 for the treatment of the major depressive disorder (MDD) with an imminent risk of suicide. Celon Pharma is currently conducting the phase II trial in subjects with treatment-resistant Bipolar Depression (TRBD). It is the first such formulation, which targets both the unipolar and bipolar treatment-resistant depression. It is co-financed from the National Funds Research and Development Center. As plans, Celon Pharma is expecting the Breakthrough designation for bipolar depression and fast track designation for both the indications (TRD and bipolar depression), by 2020.
Zuranolone: Sage Therapeutics
Zuranolone (SAGE-217) is a once-daily, two-week therapy in development for the treatment of the major depressive disorder (MDD) and postpartum depression (PPD). It is an investigational oral neuroactive steroid (NAS) GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM). The GABA system is the major inhibitory signaling pathway of the brain and central nervous system and contributes significantly to regulating brain function.
The Landscape Program is evaluating the potential of zuranolone as a rapid-acting, short-course oral treatment for PPD and MDD. It includes three completed pivotal efficacy studies evaluating zuranolone 30 mg in PPD (ROBIN Study) and MDD (MDD-201, MOUNTAIN Study), the results of which have been previously reported. In March 2020, after a Breakthrough Therapy guidance meeting with the US FDA, Sage Therapeutics announced plans to launch three additional studies of its investigational drug zuranolone. Results are expected in 2021.
Market Outlook
The ultimate goal of treatment is to achieve as high as possible a level of psychosocial function and health-related quality of life. BD is a highly recurrent disorder and sometimes medication needs to continue even if the patient feels well. The treatment has two phases: the acute phase and the maintenance phase. Acute-phase treatment is focused on the management of acute mood episodes (manic, hypomanic, or depressive). Maintenance-phase treatment is focused on preventing recurrences of acute episodes. Each phase is associated with specific treatment needs, and available pharmacotherapies have shown differential efficacy according to the illness phase. Most commonly mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, antidepressants, antianxiety medications, and psychotherapy is used.
In the United States, only four medications are approved for acute treatment of depressive episodes in the context of bipolar disorder: Symbyax (olanzapine-fluoxetine combination), Seroquel and Seroquel XR (quetiapine), Latuda (lurasidone), and Vraylar (cariprazine). Although older medications such as lithium also have modest effects in acute bipolar depression.
In October 2008, the US FDA approved once-daily Seroquel XR (quetiapine fumarate) Extended-Release Tablets for the acute treatment of the depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder, the manic and mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder, and the maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder as adjunctive therapy to lithium or divalproex. Seroquel XR and Seroquel are also approved in the EU for the prevention of recurrence of bipolar disorder in patients whose manic, mixed or depressive episode has responded to quetiapine treatment.
Symbyax was the first drug approved by the US FDA for the acute treatment of bipolar depression in adults in 2003. Zyprexa, in combination with fluoxetine, is now approved for the same indication. Oral Zyprexa and fluoxetine in combination is indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder, based on clinical studies. Zyprexa monotherapy is not indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder.
The US FDA approved lurasidone (Latuda, Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc) for the treatment of major depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder (bipolar depression) in children and adolescents aged 10-17 years. In March 2020, Latuda was approved in Japan for the improvement of depressive symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder.
Recently, in May 2019, a new approval by FDA was made for bipolar depression. The US FDA approved a supplemental New Drug Application for Vraylar for the expanded treatment of depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults. Vraylar (cariprazine), developed by Hungary-based Gedeon Richter Ltd. and licensed to Allergan, has also been approved in the US for treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults.
In short, efficacious pharmacologic options for managing the most prevalent and most disabling phases of bipolar disorder are extremely limited. Treatments that work in both phases of bipolar disorder are especially rare. New treatments are desperately needed.
