RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To examine treatment outcomes for classes of ADHD drugs in conjunction with physicians' prescribing rationales and the utility of treatment perseverance in treatment effectiveness. METHODS: A retrospective non-interventional study using physician-provided chart data for treated adolescent and adult ADHD patients in the United States (April-June 2019). Multivariable analyses compared the effectiveness and tolerability of drug classes. RESULTS: Among the 1,232 ADHD patients included in this study, 37.7% experienced one, 11.8% two, and 6.7% three treatment changes post their first prescribed regimen. These changes were mostly attributed to lack of rapid onset and duration of effect. Achieving best response correlated with the number of previous treatments for adolescents, but not adults. Maintaining full response correlated with the length of current treatment for adolescents and adults. CONCLUSION: Physicians' prescribing rationales targeted duration of effect and tolerability. ER monotherapy demonstrated potential advantages over other regimens. Treatment perseverance is integral to effective ADHD management.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Povidone­iodine (PVP-I) is an effective and commonly used broad-spectrum antiseptic; limited information exists around its long-term safety and impact on endocrine disruption. We assessed the dermal toxicity and toxicokinetics following a once-daily application of 7.5% (w/v) and 10% (w/v) PVP-I in Göttingen Minipigs® for up to 39 weeks. METHODS: An in vivo study was conducted in male (n = 27) and female (n = 27) minipigs. Animals were randomized into untreated control, 7.5% and 10% PVP-I, and matching vehicle treatment groups. Animals were assessed for general in-life measurements, including skin irritation and organ weights. Serum samples were analyzed for PVP, total iodine, triiodothyronine [T3], thyroxine [T4], thyroid stimulating hormone [TSH], and toxicokinetic parameters. RESULTS: Neither 7.5% nor 10% PVP-I affected general in-life measurements. Increased mean thyroid gland absolute weights were noted with 7.5% and 10% PVP-I. Serum levels of PVP, T3, T4, and TSH in the 7.5% and 10% PVP-I treatment group animals were similar to those in vehicle treatment group animals. Mean total serum iodine concentration was 52- and 13-fold higher with 7.5% and 10% PVP-I, respectively, vs respective vehicle treatments. There was no dose-dependent increase in mean maximum serum concentration and area under the curve from 0 to 24 h for PVP, T3, T4, and TSH, nor accumulation of PVP, T3, T4, or TSH in the study. CONCLUSION: Once-daily dermal application of 7.5% and 10% PVP-I for up to 39 weeks was safe and well tolerated in Göttingen Minipigs® and was not associated with skin irritation, thyroid dysfunction, or endocrine disruption. As the anatomy and physiology of the minipig skin closely resembles that of human skin, the findings of this study suggest that 7.5% and 10% PVP-I may be translated into antimicrobial benefits for humans without the risk of endocrine disruption.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of a once-daily extended-release methylphenidate formulation (PRC-063) versus placebo on sleep, measured via daily electronic diary in two clinical trials in pediatric (6-12 years) and adult (≥18 years) patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHOD: A diary was completed by adult patients or parents/caregivers of pediatric patients during two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled laboratory classroom studies. Following dose optimization of PRC-063, patients were randomized to 1 week of double-blind treatment with PRC-063 or placebo before attending a full-day laboratory classroom session. RESULTS: In the studies, 148 pediatric patients and 239 adult patients were randomized to either PRC-063 or placebo. When compared with the diaries of placebo patients, the sleep diaries in both pediatric and adult patients showed no statistical difference in total sleep time, efficiency, or latency. CONCLUSION: PRC-063 did not impact subjective measures of sleep versus placebo in pediatric and adult patients with ADHD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Healthcare professionals, especially dentists and dental hygienists, are at increased risk for contracting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) through air-borne particles and splatter. This study assessed the in vitro virucidal activity of 0.5% (w/v) povidone-iodine (PVP-I) oral rinse against SARS-CoV-2 to demonstrate its utility as a professional oral rinse. METHODS: A 0.5% (w/v) PVP-I oral rinse formulation, placebo oral rinse, and positive (70% [v/v] ethanol and water) and negative (water) controls were assessed using the time-kill method. SARS-CoV-2 was propagated in Vero 76 host cells. Following neutralization validation, triplicate tests were performed for each test formulation and virucidal activity measured at 15, 30, and 60 s and 5 min. RESULTS: The 0.5% (w/v) PVP-I oral rinse demonstrated effective in vitro virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2 as early as 15 s after exposure; viral titer was reduced to < 0.67 log10 50% cell culture infectious dose (CCID50)/0.1 mL (log10 reduction of > 4.0) at 30 s, whereas the placebo oral rinse reduced the SARS-CoV-2 viral titer to 4.67 and 4.5 log10 CCID50/0.1 mL at the 15- and 30-s time points, with a log10 reduction of 0.63 and 0.17, respectively. No toxicity or cytotoxic effects against Vero 76 host cells were observed with the 0.5% (w/v) PVP-I oral rinse; positive and negative controls performed as expected. CONCLUSIONS: In vitro virucidal activity of 0.5% (w/v) PVP-I oral rinse against SARS-CoV-2 was demonstrated. Rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 was observed with 0.5% (w/v) formulation with a contact duration of 15 s. Clinical investigations are needed to assess the effectiveness of PVP-I oral rinse against SARS-CoV-2 in dental practice.

RESUMO

Objectives: We analyzed patient-reported sleep parameters for an extended-release methylphenidate formulation (PRC-063) in adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Methods: Clinical efficacy and long-term safety/tolerability data from a 4-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose study (NCT02139111) and a subsequent 6-month, optimized-dose, open-label extension (OLE) study (NCT02168127) were used. In the double-blind study, participants were randomly assigned 1:1:1:1:1 to one of four doses of PRC-063 (25, 45, 70, or 85 mg/day) or placebo. In both the double-blind and OLE studies, sleep outcomes were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: During double-blind treatment, no statistically significant least-squares mean difference in change from baseline between PRC-063 (all doses combined; N = 293) and placebo (N = 74) was found for either global PSQI score (-0.3 vs. -0.5; p = 0.6110) or scores for any of the seven PSQI subscales. Compared with the placebo group, a marginally higher proportion of patients in the PRC-063 group (all doses combined) went from being poor to good sleepers (global PSQI score ≤5; 14.4% vs. 11.3%). In a logistic regression analysis, study treatment was not a predictor of poor sleep (p = 0.5368) at the end of the double-blind study. In the OLE study, there was a trend of improvement in sleep after 1 month of individualized dosing that was maintained through 6 months. Sleep efficiency (time asleep as a proportion of time in bed) showed improvement at the end of the OLE study. Conclusion: While individual patients may experience changes in sleep as an adverse event, group data evaluating sleep as an outcome found there were no differences between PRC-063 and placebo in self-reported sleep outcomes on the PSQI.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine (PVP-I) demonstrates broad-spectrum anti-infective activity and is available in different formulations for oral rinse and topical use in medical and personal care settings. The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has underscored the need to supplement available preventive strategies. METHODS: We assessed virucidal activity of PVP-I formulations, including 0.5% (w/v) solution, 5.0% (w/v) solution, 7.5% (w/v) scrub, and 10.0% (w/v) solution, versus placebos when challenged with coronaviruses in two in vitro studies. Murine coronavirus strain A59 (American Type Culture Collection [ATCC]® VR-764™), human coronavirus strain OC43 (ZeptoMetrix Corp. #0810024CF), human coronavirus strain NL63 (ZeptoMetrix Corp. #0810228CF), and human coronavirus strain 229E (ATCC® VR-740™) were used as surrogates for SARS-CoV-2. Both studies used the American Society for Testing and Materials in vitro time-kill method. RESULTS: All active PVP-I formulations in study 1 demonstrated virucidal activity at 15 s, with mean log10 reduction of greater than 4.56 or greater than 99.99% inactivation; a cytotoxic effect against the National Collection of Type Cultures clone 1469 host cells was observed with 5.0% (w/v) solution, 7.5% (w/v) scrub, and 10.0% (w/v) solution. Active PVP-I formulations in study 2 demonstrated effective virucidal activity against coronaviruses in less than 15 s; log10 reduction in viral titer for each coronavirus strain was consistently higher for 10.0% (w/v) solution and 0.5% (w/v) solution versus 7.5% (w/v) scrub. CONCLUSION: Both studies demonstrated in vitro virucidal activity of PVP-I formulations when challenged with SARS-CoV-2 surrogate coronaviruses. Although promising, further investigations are needed to evaluate SARS-CoV-2 inactivation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) requires a multifaceted approach including psychosocial interventions and pharmacological treatment. This study evaluates preferences for specific attributes associated with different long-acting stimulant treatment among US adults with ADHD. METHODS: Patients completed an online, cross-sectional survey, incorporating a discrete choice experiment to assess preferences for attributes. RESULTS: Analyses included 200 adults with ADHD (mean age 33.0 years; 60% self-reporting moderate severity); the mean (SD) Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale-v1.1 score was 45.9 (12.4). Overall, patients valued speed of onset most and risk of rebound least. Three population groups with distinct preferences were identified: side effect-driven (n=69, 35%), quick onset-driven (n=47, 24%) and quick onset and long duration-driven (n=84, 42%). CONCLUSION: This study shows differences in how adults with ADHD value and assess benefit-risk trade-offs when considering the desired attributes of stimulant treatments, highlighting the importance of patient-physician shared decision-making to optimize the desired benefits of individualized treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The effects of stimulant treatment on sleep in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are complex and varied, with some individuals experiencing worsening of sleep but others experiencing improvement. METHODS: Data from previously reported trials of the clinical efficacy and safety of the long-acting methylphenidate formulation PRC-063 (Adhansia XR® in the USA; Foquest® in Canada) in adults with ADHD were used to evaluate patient-reported sleep outcomes, as captured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and adverse events of insomnia. The trials comprised 4 weeks of randomized, forced-dose PRC-063 treatment at a dose of 0 (placebo), 25, 45, 70, or 100 mg/day followed by an optional 6 months of open-label PRC-063 treatment at an individually optimized dose of 25-100 mg/day. RESULTS: At the end of double-blind treatment, PRC-063 (all doses combined; N = 297) showed no significant difference versus placebo (N = 78) in least squares mean change in global PSQI score from baseline (- 0.7 vs. - 1.3; P = 0.0972) or in scores for each of the seven subscales of the PSQI. For patients enrolled in the open-label extension (N = 184), mean ± standard deviation global PSQI score improved from 7.8 ± 3.55 at the end of double-blind treatment to 5.8 ± 3.11 at 1 month and 5.4 ± 3.21 at 6 months (P < 0.0001). A greater proportion of patients were good sleepers (global PSQI score ≤ 5) at the end of the open-label extension (57.3%) than at baseline (20.9%) or at the end of double-blind treatment (26.0%). In a logistic regression analysis, baseline global PSQI score (odds ratio 1.491; P < 0.0001), but not randomized study treatment (P = 0.1428), was a significant predictor of poor sleep (global PSQI score > 5) at the end of double-blind treatment. Adverse event rates for insomnia (15.8 vs. 3.8%) and initial insomnia (6.1 vs. 1.3%) during double-blind treatment were higher for PRC-063 (all doses combined) than for placebo. Two patients receiving PRC-063 in the double-blind study and one patient in the open-label study were withdrawn because of insomnia adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that, on average, PRC-063 had no significant impact on overall sleep quality in adults with ADHD. Although insomnia was observed as an adverse event, when sleep was measured over time as an outcome in its own right for patients receiving dose-optimized PRC-063 open-label, more patients showed improvement in sleep than deterioration.

RESUMO

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND: PRC-063 is a once-daily, extended-release oral formulation of methylphenidate hydrochloride developed to provide early and prolonged symptom improvement in patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. METHODS/PROCEDURES: We conducted 3 randomized, open-label crossover studies of the pharmacokinetics of PRC-063 in healthy, nonobese men and women aged 18 to 45 years. PRC-063 (100 mg/d) was compared with immediate-release methylphenidate (20 mg, 3 times daily) when administered on a single day under fasted and fed conditions and at steady state (day 5 of repeat dosing under fasted conditions). The pharmacokinetics of PRC-063 administered as capsule contents sprinkled on apple sauce, yoghurt, or ice cream were also investigated. FINDINGS/RESULTS: PRC-063 demonstrated biphasic absorption, with 2 distinct peak plasma concentrations. Intake of a high-fat, high-calorie meal did not increase the peak plasma methylphenidate concentration (Cmax) or extent of absorption (area under the curve), however; it resulted in slower uptake versus a fasted state. During repeated dosing, steady state was reached with no further accumulation of methylphenidate from day 3. At steady state, PRC-063 gave higher evening and trough plasma methylphenidate levels than immediate-release methylphenidate (3 times daily). The pharmacokinetics of PRC-063 sprinkled on food were comparable to that of intact capsules. Reported adverse events (AEs) were consistent with the established safety profile of methylphenidate. There were no serious AEs, but 3 subjects discontinued the repeat-dosing study because of AEs assessed as possibly related to study treatment. IMPLICATIONS/CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that PRC-063 can be taken with or without food or by sprinkling capsule contents on food.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The buprenorphine transdermal system (BTDS) is approved in the US for the management of chronic pain. Due to its high affinity for µ-opioid receptors with a slow dissociation profile, buprenorphine may potentially displace or prevent the binding of competing µ-opioid-receptor agonists, including immediate-release (IR) opioids, in a dose-dependent manner. Health care professionals may assume that the use of IR opioids for supplemental analgesia during BTDS therapy is not acceptable. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This post hoc analysis evaluated the use of IR opioids as supplemental analgesia during the management of moderate-severe chronic pain with BTDS at 52 US sites (BUP3015S, NCT01125917). Patients were categorized into IR-opioid and no-IR-opioid groups. At each visit of the extension phase, adverse events, concomitant medications, and information from the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) were recorded. RESULTS: The most common supplemental IR opioids prescribed during BTDS treatment (n=354) were hydrocodone-acetaminophen and oxycodone-acetaminophen. The mean daily dose of IR opioids (morphine equivalents) for supplemental analgesia was 22 mg. At baseline, BPI - pain intensity and BPI - interference scores were higher for patients in the IR-opioid group. In both treatment groups, scores improved by week 4, and then were maintained throughout 6 months of the open-label extension trial. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: Patients who were prescribed IR opioids reported lower scores for BPI pain intensity and pain interference to levels similar to patients receiving BTDS without IR opioids, without increasing the rate or severity of treatment-emergent adverse events. Patients prescribed concomitant use of IR opioids with BTDS had greater treatment persistence. The results of this post hoc analysis provide support for the concomitant use of IR opioids for supplemental analgesia during the management of moderate-severe chronic pain with BTDS.
