参天制药干眼病药物Ikervis(环孢素)获欧盟委员会批准
  发布日期:2015-03-27  来源:生物谷  
Ikervis是欧洲上市的首个干眼病处方药,药物活性成分为环孢素(ciclosporin)
日本眼科领域领导者参天制药(Santen Pharma)近日宣布,该公司研发的眼科药物Ikervis(ciclosporin,环孢素)获欧盟委员会(EC)批准,用于经人工泪液治疗未得到改善的干眼病成人患者严重角膜炎的治疗。
干眼症(dry eye)又名角结膜干燥症(KCS),是指任何原因造成的泪液质或量异常或动力学异常,导致泪膜稳定性下降,并伴有眼部不适和(或)眼表组织病变特征的多种疾病的总称。它是目前最为常见的眼表疾病,主要治疗方法是使用人工泪液。
目前,干眼病患者严重角膜炎治疗方面,仍存在着真真实实的治疗挑战。而Ikervis的上市,将为欧洲干眼病患者提供首个处方药,同时标志着该地区严重干眼病患者临床治疗的重大进步。
Ikervis的获批,是基于在欧洲开展的一项III期临床项目的数据。该研究在伴有严重角膜炎的干眼病成人患者中开展,调查了ciclosporin的疗效和安全性。根据所提交的质量、安全性和疗效数据,欧洲药品管理局(EMA)人用医药产品委员会(CHMP)在2015年1月建议批准Ikervis。CHMP审查后认为,Ikervis具有很好的效益-风险平衡,建议批准上市,造福欧洲的干眼病患者。
Ikervis的活性药物成分是环孢素(ciclosporin),这是一种免疫抑制剂,归属于眼科类治疗产品。环孢素能够阻断前炎性细胞因子(pro-inflammatory cytokine)的释放,在眼表细胞发挥抗炎作用。Ikervis的治疗益处是能够改善眼表损伤并减少炎症反应。
