Development of OXC XR • Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc • Small pharmaceutical company with proprietary drug delivery methodology • Experience with CNS products (ADHD, epilepsy) as Shire Labs • OXC as candidate for XR development • Effective doses 600 – 2400mg/d • Increase response rate with increase in dose • Highest doses associated with significant AEs
OXC v Placebo, Barcs Study% Seizure Free N=174~ N=178 50%* 40%* N=169 26%* N=173 8% 22% 3% 10% 0.6% Median % seizure reduction Epilepsia, 41(12):1597, 2000 *p=0.0001 compared to placebo ~ includes 47 pts at 1800 mg; 73% of patients on 2400mg dropped from the study or decreased to 1800mg
Relationship between a given serum MHD level and the presence/absence of an AE (ROC curve analysis) (n = total number of MHD samples). Striano et al, Epilepsy Research 2006, 69(2):170-176
Incentives for Development of OXC XR • Current Formulation • BID dosing • Association of AEs with peak levels • Possible Advantages of XR Formulation • QD dosing – may increase compliance • Lower peak – may increase tolerablity
