UK <\/strong>marketing authorisations for<\/strong> IOPIDINE<\/strong>\u00ae <\/strong>(apraclonidine) <\/strong>fully <\/strong>transferred to <\/strong>Essential Pharma <\/strong>as change in UK NICE guidelines <\/strong>for glaucoma <\/strong>treatment <\/strong>expected to <\/strong>lead to <\/strong>increase<\/strong> in<\/strong> pa<\/strong>tients\u2019 need<\/strong> for product<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recent change in NICE <\/em>guidelines<\/em> indicating<\/em> laser surgery as first line therapy for glaucoma <\/em>is <\/em>expected to increase need for IOPIDINE to control or prevent post-surgical elevations in intraocular pressure<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuation of <\/em>global <\/em>marketing authorisation<\/em> transfer <\/em>from Novartis <\/em>for this important product<\/em><\/p>\n

Zug, Switzerland<\/strong> &<\/strong> Egham, UK \u2013 <\/strong>15 December<\/strong> 2022<\/strong> \u2013 Essential Pharma, an international specialty pharma group focused on ensuring that patients have sustainable access to low volume, clinically well-established pharmaceutical products across key therapeutic areas, announces that it has completed the transfer of the UK marketing authorisations for IOPIDINE\u00ae (apraclonidine) in both available concentrations, IOPIDINE\u00ae 0.5% and 1%, following its acquisition of the product from Novartis in December 2021.<\/p>\n

IOPIDINE\u00ae is a short-term adjunctive therapy for patients with chronic glaucoma to prevent or control intraocular pressure*,1<\/sup> including after selective laser therapy, a form of laser eye surgery now recommended as the initial treatment for open angle glaucoma.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

A recent change in regulations by the UK\u2019s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which placed laser surgery as first line therapy for glaucoma, means that IOPIDINE\u00ae, especially IOPIDINE\u00ae 1% which is indicated to control or prevent post-surgical elevations in intraocular pressure that occur in patients after selective laser therapy (SLT), will continue to be an important treatment for glaucoma patients that require additional intraocular pressure reduction.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

The acquisition of this long-established therapy sold across more than 20 global markets including several countries in the EU plus Canada, Australia and Japan, is in line with Essential Pharma\u2019s commitment to ensure the sustainable supply of essential specialty medicines to patients. The acquisition also demonstrates Essential Pharma\u2019s strong integration capabilities for newly acquired products and underlines the group\u2019s strategy to be a trusted partner to regional and global pharma companies looking to streamline their portfolios across international markets.<\/p>\n

Steen Van<\/strong>gsg<\/strong>aard, CEO of Essential Pharma, commented<\/strong>: \u201cWe are delighted to have completed the MA transfer, enabling us to ensure the continued supply of IOPIDINE\u00ae and fulfilling a vital need for patients, as has been demonstrated by the change in recent NICE guidelines. We are also pleased that Novartis chose us as a trusted partner for its divestment, further underlining Essential Pharma\u2019s expertise and commitment to ensuring long-term, structured supply of established medicines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gus <\/strong>Gazzard<\/strong>, Professor of Ophthalmology (Glaucoma Studies) UCL & Director of <\/strong>Surgery at Moo<\/strong>r<\/strong>fields<\/strong>, commented:<\/strong> \u201cBased on a 3-year scientific study, we compared the treatment of glaucoma using continuous daily eye drops with initial selective laser therapy. This study has shown that SLT has favourable cost-effectiveness versus treatment with daily eye drops.3<\/sup> Followed by a public consultation finalised in 2021, NICE decided to change the guidelines to recommend SLT as a first line therapy for all open angle glaucoma, which is expected to contribute to meaningful savings to the NHS over the coming years.\u201d 2<\/sup><\/p>\n

In the UK, chronic open angle glaucoma (COAG) affects around 2% of people aged over 40 and can rise to almost 10% in people aged over 75. Ocular hypertension (OHT) affects 3-5% of people in the UK over 40 years of age and occurs when pressure inside the eye is higher than normal, which can cause glaucoma. According to latest NICE guidelines which were updated in 2022, SLT is now recommended as a first line option to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension allowing patients to quickly receive effective treatment to improve their quality of life.2<\/sup><\/p>\n
