KIM: As a scheduled drug, there are always precautions that you need to take. Here are the facts.
 VIBERZI is a schedule IV drug because it contains eluxadoline, which is a
 mu-opioid receptor agonist. VIBERZI is a non-narcotic, and it works through the opioid receptors in the GI tract.

Per the Drug Enforcement Administration, a schedule IV drug is defined as having low potential for abuse and low risk for dependence.

HCPs are reminded to counsel their patients on the use of all medications.

Kim Orleck and the following disclaimer


Data from two randomized, parallel-group, multicenter, multinational, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 clinical trials in IBS-D adult patients aged 18-80 years. A responder was defined as a patient with ≥30% reduction in daily abdominal pain AND improvement in daily stool consistency to <5 on the Bristol StoolScale. Improvement in abdominal pain in the absence of a bowel movement was also considered a response day. Responders saw simultaneous improvement of BOTH symptoms on at least 50% of days in the trial.


IBS-3002 (N=1145) measured VIBERZI 100 mg (recommended dose)(n=382) vs placebo (n=382). Primary endpoint: Weeks 1-12: Trt Diff13%, 95% CI (8%, 19%); P< 0.001. Secondary endpoint: Weeks 1-26: Trt Diff 13%, 95% CI (6%, 19%). IBS-3001 (N=1281) measured VIBERZI 100 mg (recommended dose) (n=426) vs placebo (n=427). Primary endpoint: Weeks 1-12: Trt Diff 8%, 95% CI (3%,14%); P< 0.01. Secondary endpoint: Weeks 1-26: Trt Diff 10%, 95%CI (5%, 16%).


KIM: In the VIBERZI clinical trials, there was a low incidence of CNS-related adverse events. For patients receiving the 100 mg BID dose of VIBERZI, euphoria was reported in 0.2% of patients, and "feeling drunk"was reported in 0.1% of patients. Thank you.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

VIBERZI® (eluxadoline), schedule four, is indicated in adults for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D).


IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION


CONTRAINDICATIONS

VIBERZI is contraindicated in patients:

  • Without a gallbladder.
  • With known or suspected biliary duct obstruction, or sphincter of Oddi disease or dysfunction; a history of pancreatitis; or structural diseases of the pancreas.
  • With alcoholism, alcohol abuse, alcohol addiction, or who drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day.
  • With a known hypersensitivity reaction to VIBERZI.
  • With severe hepatic impairment.
  • With a history of chronic or severe constipation or sequelae from constipation, or known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Pancreatitis

  • Pancreatitis, with or without sphincter of Oddi spasm, has been reported in patients taking either the 75 mg or 100 mg dosage of VIBERZI, including serious cases resulting in hospitalization, primarily in patients without a gallbladder. Fatal cases have also been reported in patients without a gallbladder. VIBERZI is contraindicated in patients without a gallbladder. Most of the reported cases of serious pancreatitis occurred within a week of starting treatment with VIBERZI and some patients developed symptoms after one to two doses.
  • In patients with a gallbladder, evaluate a patient’s alcohol intake prior to starting VIBERZI. Instruct patients to avoid chronic or acute excessive alcohol use while taking VIBERZI. Monitor for new or worsening abdominal pain that may radiate to the back or shoulder, with or without nausea and vomiting. Instruct patients to immediately stop VIBERZI and seek medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of pancreatitis such as acute abdominal or epigastric pain radiating to the back or shoulder associated with elevations of pancreatic enzymes with or without nausea and vomiting.

Sphincter of Oddi Spasm

  • There is a risk of sphincter of Oddi spasm, resulting in pancreatitis or hepatic enzyme elevation associated with acute abdominal pain (eg, biliary-type pain) in patients taking VIBERZI. Serious adverse reactions of sphincter of Oddi spasm with or without pancreatitis resulting in hospitalization have been reported, primarily in patients without a gallbladder.Cases of serious sphincter of Oddi spasm occurred within a week of starting treatment with VIBERZI and some patients developed symptoms after one to two doses.
  • Instruct patients to immediately stop VIBERZI and seek medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of sphincter of Oddi spasm such as acute worsening of abdominal pain that may radiate to the back or shoulder with or without nausea and vomiting, associated with elevations of pancreatic enzymes or liver transaminases. Do not restart VIBERZI in patients who developed biliary duct obstruction while taking VIBERZI.

Hypersensitivity Reactions

  • In post marketing experience, serious hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis) have been reported following VIBERZI administration. Some of these reactions occurred after the first one or two doses of VIBERZI.
  • Instruct patients to immediately stop VIBERZI and seek medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of a hypersensitivity reaction.

Constipation

  • Constipation, sometimes requiring hospitalization, has been reported following VIBERZI administration. In post marketing experience, severe cases with development of intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, and fecal impaction, requiring intervention, have also been reported. Instruct patients to stop VIBERZI and immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience severe constipation. Avoid use with other drugs that may cause constipation.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most commonly reported adverse reactions (incidence >5% and greater than placebo) were constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain.
