- START study provides real-world data for AUSTEDO with the
use of a 4-week patient titration kit for adults with tardive
dyskinesia (TD), including utilization and patient
satisfaction
- AUSTEDO is the only vesicular monoamine transporter 2
(VMAT2) inhibitor with 3-year long-term data1,2 approved for adults
with TD and chorea associated with Huntington’s disease
(HD)
- Additional presentations include long-term safety, and
tolerability of UZEDY™ (risperidone), which was approved by the FDA

a pre-filled syringe
Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical
Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced 12
presentations across its neuroscience portfolio featured at the
Psych Congress Elevate 2023 Annual Meeting taking place on June
1-4, 2023. Two presentations feature real-world data for AUSTEDO
(deutetrabenazine) tablets for adults living with TD. Data
presented will include interim findings from the START trial, a
Phase 4 study investigating real-world utilization of AUSTEDO with
a 4-week patient titration kit along with treatment success as
measured at the end of treatment. The kit was developed to help
patients with TD and HD chorea achieve appropriate dosage and
follow dosing schedule during the titration period, guiding
patients through the first four weeks of titration from a starting
dose of 12 mg/day to 30 mg/day by week four.
“These interim Phase 4 data results demonstrate promising
real-world patient satisfaction with AUSTEDO and the 4-week patient
titration kit for adults living with TD, which mirror outcomes to
those seen in clinical trials,” said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD,
Executive Vice President of Global R&D and Chief Medical
Officer at Teva. “These results further support the potential to
help patients with TD find their appropriate dose, remain
on-schedule and achieve real-world outcomes similar to those seen
in the pivotal studies.”
Interim START trial results from the first 50 patients enrolled
in the TD cohort show that 78% of patients successfully completed
the 4-week patient titration kit, and the mean dose at week 12 was
32.8 mg/day. Nearly half of all patients achieved treatment success
as assessed by both the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC;
49%) and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC; 47%) at the end
of treatment (week 12). Additionally, a majority of patients found
it easy to understand when and which dosage to take (72%), easy to
remember to take their medication (77%), easy to change the dose
weekly (74%), and easy to use the kit overall (77%), demonstrating
the titration kit helped with daily use and following the
recommended dose schedule.
“TD is a chronic movement disorder that affects up to one in
four people who take certain medications for mental health
issues.3-5 Changing or stopping their mental health medications can
risk destabilizing their underlying condition, so managing their TD
can become a tremendous burden, often resulting in difficulty
adhering to their medications,” said Andrew Cutler, MD, Associate
Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, SUNY Upstate Medical University
and Chief Medical Officer, Neuroscience Education Institute.
“Patients using the 4-week patient titration kit were able to
successfully reach a dose of 24 mg/day and higher, while
maintaining adherence with treatment, demonstrating that having an
effective treatment option with an easy-to-use titration kit can
help patients with daily use and following the recommended dosing
schedule to better manage their TD symptoms and stay on track with
their mental health treatment plans.”
In addition to twice-daily AUSTEDO, patients and healthcare
providers now have the additional option of a once-daily
formulation, AUSTEDO® XR (deutetrabenazine), which was
recently approved by the FDA in February 2023 and is available to
patients in the U.S. More information about the new formulation and
4-week Sample Titration Kit can be found here.
Teva will also present findings from studies evaluating
potential drug-drug interactions with VMAT2 inhibitors, as well as
patient and healthcare provider perspectives on the impact of TD.
Results from clinical studies evaluating UZEDY and TV-44749 in
schizophrenia, and the DECIDE survey will be presented at the
meeting as well.

About Tardive Dyskinesia (TD)
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a highly debilitating, chronic
movement disorder that affects one in four people who take certain
mental health treatments and is characterized by uncontrollable,
abnormal, and repetitive movements of the face, torso, and/or other
body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact
individuals.3-5
About Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic, progressive and severely
debilitating mental disorder that affects how one thinks, feels and
acts.6 Patients experience an array of symptoms, which may include
delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech or behavior and
impaired cognitive ability.6-8 Approximately 1% of the world’s
population will develop schizophrenia in their lifetime, and 3.5
million people in the U.S. are currently diagnosed with the
condition.7,8 Although schizophrenia can occur at any age, the
average age of onset tends to be in the late teens to the early 20s
for men, and the late 20s to early 30s for women.6 The long-term
course of schizophrenia is marked by episodes of partial or full
remission broken by relapses that often occur in the context of
psychiatric emergency and require hospitalization.6 Approximately
80% of patients experience multiple relapses over the first five
years of treatment, and each relapse carries a biological risk of
loss of function, treatment refractoriness, and changes in brain
morphology.9-11 Patients are often unaware of their illness and its
consequences, contributing to treatment nonadherence, high
discontinuation rates, and ultimately, significant direct and
indirect healthcare costs from subsequent relapses and
hospitalizations.6-11
About AUSTEDO XR Extended-Release Tablets and AUSTEDO
Tablets
AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR are the first and only vesicular
monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration in adults for the treatment of tardive
dyskinesia and for the treatment of chorea associated with
Huntington’s disease. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric
patients have not been established. AUSTEDO XR is the once-daily
formulation of AUSTEDO.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
AUSTEDO® XR (deutetrabenazine) extended-release tablets and
AUSTEDO® (deutetrabenazine) tablets are indicated in adults for the
treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease and for
the treatment of tardive dyskinesia.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Depression and Suicidality in Patients with Huntington’s
Disease: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO can increase the risk of
depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in
patients with Huntington’s disease. Balance the risks of depression
and suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea.
Closely monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of
depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Inform
patients, their caregivers, and families of the risk of depression
and suicidality and instruct them to report behaviors of concern
promptly to the treating physician. Exercise caution when treating
patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or
ideation. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are contraindicated in patients
who are suicidal, and in patients with untreated or inadequately
treated depression.
Contraindications: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are
contraindicated in patients with Huntington’s disease who are
suicidal, or have untreated or inadequately treated depression.
AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are also contraindicated in: patients with
hepatic impairment; patients taking reserpine or within 20 days of
discontinuing reserpine; patients taking monoamine oxidase
inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOI
therapy; and patients taking tetrabenazine or valbenazine.
Clinical Worsening and Adverse Events in Patients with
Huntington’s Disease: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may cause a
worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, and functional
capacity. Prescribers should periodically re-evaluate the
need for AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO in their patients by assessing the
effect on chorea and possible adverse effects.
QTc Prolongation: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may prolong the
QT interval, but the degree of QT prolongation is not clinically
significant when AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO is administered within the
recommended dosage range. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO should be avoided
in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients with a
history of cardiac arrhythmias.
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal
symptom complex reported in association with drugs that reduce
dopaminergic transmission, has been observed in patients receiving
tetrabenazine. The risk may be increased by concomitant use of
dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. The management of NMS
should include immediate discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO;
intensive symptomatic treatment and medical monitoring; and
treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems.
Akathisia, Agitation, and Restlessness: AUSTEDO XR and
AUSTEDO may increase the risk of akathisia, agitation, and
restlessness. The risk of akathisia may be increased by concomitant
use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient
develops akathisia, the AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO dose should be
reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy.
Parkinsonism: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may cause
parkinsonism in patients with Huntington’s disease or tardive
dyskinesia. Parkinsonism has also been observed with other VMAT2
inhibitors. The risk of parkinsonism may be increased by
concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a
patient develops parkinsonism, the AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO dose
should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of
therapy.
Sedation and Somnolence: Sedation is a common
dose-limiting adverse reaction of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO. Patients
should not perform activities requiring mental alertness, such as
operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery, until they are on
a maintenance dose of AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO and know how the drug
affects them. Concomitant use of alcohol or other sedating drugs
may have additive effects and worsen sedation and somnolence.
Hyperprolactinemia: Tetrabenazine elevates serum
prolactin concentrations in humans. If there is a clinical
suspicion of symptomatic hyperprolactinemia, appropriate laboratory
testing should be done and consideration should be given to
discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO.
Binding to Melanin-Containing Tissues: Deutetrabenazine
or its metabolites bind to melanin-containing tissues and could
accumulate in these tissues over time. Prescribers should be aware
of the possibility of long-term ophthalmologic effects.
Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse
reactions for AUSTEDO (>8% and greater than placebo) in a
controlled clinical study in patients with Huntington’s disease
were somnolence, diarrhea, dry mouth, and fatigue. The most common
adverse reactions for AUSTEDO (4% and greater than placebo) in
controlled clinical studies in patients with tardive dyskinesia
were nasopharyngitis and insomnia. Adverse reactions with AUSTEDO
XR extended-release tablets are expected to be similar to AUSTEDO
tablets.

Boxed Warning.
About UZEDY
UZEDY (risperidone) extended-release injectable suspension, for
subcutaneous use, is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia
in adults. In clinical trials, UZEDY reduced the risk of relapse by
up to 80%.12 UZEDY administers risperidone through copolymer
technology under license from MedinCell that allows for absorption
and sustained release after subcutaneous injection. UZEDY is the
only long-acting, subcutaneous formulation of risperidone available
in both one- and two-month dosing intervals.12 For full prescribing
information, visit
https://www.uzedy.com/globalassets/uzedy/prescribing-information.pdf.
INDICATION AND USAGE
UZEDY (risperidone) extended-release injectable suspension for
subcutaneous use is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia in
adults.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: INCREASED MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH
DEMENTIA-RELATED PSYCHOSIS
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with
antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. UZEDY is not
approved for use in patients with dementia-related psychosis and
has not been studied in this patient population.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: UZEDY is contraindicated in patients
with a known hypersensitivity to risperidone, its metabolite,
paliperidone, or to any of its components. Hypersensitivity
reactions, including anaphylactic reactions and angioedema, have
been reported in patients treated with risperidone or
paliperidone.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions: In trials of elderly
patients with dementia-related psychosis, there was a significantly
higher incidence of cerebrovascular adverse events (e.g., stroke,
transient ischemic attack), including fatalities, in patients
treated with oral risperidone compared to placebo. UZEDY is not
approved for use in patients with dementia-related psychosis.
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS): NMS, a potentially
fatal symptom complex, has been reported in association with
antipsychotic drugs. Clinical manifestations of NMS are
hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status including
delirium, and autonomic instability (irregular pulse or blood
pressure, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and cardiac dysrhythmia).
Additional signs may include elevated creatine phosphokinase,
myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis), and acute renal failure. If NMS is
suspected, immediately discontinue UZEDY and provide symptomatic
treatment and monitoring.
Tardive Dyskinesia (TD): TD, a syndrome consisting of
potentially irreversible, involuntary, dyskinetic movements, may
develop in patients treated with antipsychotic drugs. Although the
prevalence of the syndrome appears to be highest among the elderly,
especially elderly women, it is impossible to predict which
patients will develop the syndrome. Whether antipsychotic drug
products differ in their potential to cause TD is unknown.
The risk of developing TD and the likelihood that it will become
irreversible are believed to increase with the duration of
treatment and the cumulative dose. The syndrome can develop, after
relatively brief treatment periods, even at low doses. It may also
occur after discontinuation. TD may remit, partially or completely,
if antipsychotic treatment is discontinued. Antipsychotic
treatment, itself, however, may suppress (or partially suppress)
the signs and symptoms of the syndrome, possibly masking the
underlying process. The effect that symptomatic suppression has
upon the long-term course of the syndrome is unknown.
If signs and symptoms of TD appear in a patient treated with
UZEDY, drug discontinuation should be considered. However, some
patients may require treatment with UZEDY despite the presence of
the syndrome. In patients who do require chronic treatment, use the
lowest dose and the shortest duration of treatment producing a
satisfactory clinical response. Periodically reassess the need for
continued treatment.
Metabolic Changes: Atypical antipsychotic drugs have been
associated with metabolic changes that may increase
cardiovascular/cerebrovascular risk. These metabolic changes
include hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and body weight gain. While
all of the drugs in the class have been shown to produce some
metabolic changes, each drug has its own specific risk profile.
Hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus (DM), in some cases
extreme and associated with ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma or
death, have been reported in patients treated with atypical
antipsychotics, including risperidone. Patients with an established
diagnosis of DM who are started on atypical antipsychotics,
including UZEDY, should be monitored regularly for worsening of
glucose control. Patients with risk factors for DM (e.g., obesity,
family history of diabetes) who are starting treatment with
atypical antipsychotics, including UZEDY, should undergo fasting
blood glucose (FBG) testing at the beginning of treatment and
periodically during treatment. Any patient treated with atypical
antipsychotics, including UZEDY, should be monitored for symptoms
of hyperglycemia including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and
weakness. Patients who develop symptoms of hyperglycemia during
treatment with atypical antipsychotics, including UZEDY, should
undergo FBG testing. In some cases, hyperglycemia has resolved when
the atypical antipsychotic, including risperidone, was
discontinued; however, some patients required continuation of
antidiabetic treatment despite discontinuation of risperidone.
Dyslipidemia has been observed in patients treated with
atypical antipsychotics.
Weight gain has been observed with atypical antipsychotic
use. Monitoring weight is recommended.
Hyperprolactinemia: As with other drugs that antagonize
dopamine D2 receptors, risperidone elevates prolactin levels and
the elevation persists during chronic administration. Risperidone
is associated with higher levels of prolactin elevation than other
antipsychotic agents.
Orthostatic Hypotension and Syncope: UZEDY may induce
orthostatic hypotension associated with dizziness, tachycardia, and
in some patients, syncope. UZEDY should be used with particular
caution in patients with known cardiovascular disease,
cerebrovascular disease, and conditions which would predispose
patients to hypotension and in the elderly and patients with renal
or hepatic impairment. Monitoring of orthostatic vital signs should
be considered in all such patients, and a dose reduction should be
considered if hypotension occurs. Clinically significant
hypotension has been observed with concomitant use of oral
risperidone and antihypertensive medication.
Falls: Antipsychotics, including UZEDY, may cause
somnolence, postural hypotension, motor and sensory instability,
which may lead to falls and, consequently, fractures or other
fall-related injuries. Somnolence, postural hypotension, motor and
sensory instability have been reported with the use of risperidone.
For patients, particularly the elderly, with diseases, conditions,
or medications that could exacerbate these effects, assess the risk
of falls when initiating antipsychotic treatment and recurrently
for patients on long-term antipsychotic therapy.
Leukopenia, Neutropenia, and Agranulocytosis have been
reported with antipsychotic agents, including risperidone. In
patients with a pre-existing history of a clinically significant
low white blood cell count (WBC) or absolute neutrophil count (ANC)
or a history of drug-induced leukopenia or neutropenia, perform a
complete blood count (CBC) frequently during the first few months
of therapy. In such patients, consider discontinuation of UZEDY at
the first sign of a clinically significant decline in WBC in the
absence of other causative factors. Monitor patients with
clinically significant neutropenia for fever or other symptoms or
signs of infection and treat promptly if such symptoms or signs
occur. Discontinue UZEDY in patients with ANC < 1000/mm3) and
follow their WBC until recovery.
Potential for Cognitive and Motor Impairment: UZEDY, like
other antipsychotics, may cause somnolence and has the potential to
impair judgement, thinking, and motor skills. Somnolence was a
commonly reported adverse reaction associated with oral risperidone
treatment. Caution patients about operating hazardous machinery,
including motor vehicles, until they are reasonably certain that
treatment with UZEDY does not affect them adversely.
Seizures During premarketing studies of oral risperidone
in adult patients with schizophrenia, seizures occurred in 0.3% of
patients (9 out of 2,607 patients), two in association with
hyponatremia. Use UZEDY cautiously in patients with a history of
seizures or other conditions that potentially lower the seizure
threshold.
Dysphagia: Esophageal dysmotility and aspiration have
been associated with antipsychotic drug use. Antipsychotic drugs,
including UZEDY, should be used cautiously in patients at risk for
aspiration.
Priapism has been reported during postmarketing
surveillance for other risperidone products. A case of priapism was
reported in premarket studies of UZEDY. Severe priapism may require
surgical intervention.
Body temperature regulation. Disruption of the body’s
ability to reduce core body temperature has been attributed to
antipsychotic agents. Both hyperthermia and hypothermia have been
reported in association with oral risperidone use. Strenuous
exercise, exposure to extreme heat, dehydration, and
anticholinergic medications may contribute to an elevation in core
body temperature; use UZEDY with caution in patients who experience
these conditions.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions with risperidone (≥5% and
greater than placebo) were parkinsonism, akathisia, dystonia,
tremor, sedation, dizziness, anxiety, blurred vision, nausea,
vomiting, upper abdominal pain, stomach discomfort, dyspepsia,
diarrhea, salivary hypersecretion, constipation, dry mouth,
increased appetite, increased weight, fatigue, rash, nasal
congestion, upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis, and
pharyngolaryngeal pain.
The most common injection site reactions with UZEDY (≥5% and
greater than placebo) were pruritus and nodule.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
- Carbamazepine and other strong CYP3A4 inducers decrease plasma
concentrations of risperidone.
- Fluoxetine, paroxetine, and other strong CYP2D6 inhibitors
increase risperidone plasma concentration.
- Due to additive pharmacologic effects, the concomitant use of
centrally-acting drugs, including alcohol, may increase nervous
system disorders.
- UZEDY may enhance the hypotensive effects of other therapeutic
agents with this potential.
- UZEDY may antagonize the pharmacologic effects of dopamine
agonists.
- Concomitant use with methylphenidate, when there is change in
dosage of either medication, may increase the risk of
extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: May cause EPS and/or withdrawal symptoms in
neonates with third trimester exposure. There is a pregnancy
exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed
to atypical antipsychotics, including UZEDY, during pregnancy.
Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by
contacting the National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical
Antipsychotics at 1-866-961-2388 or online at
http://womensmentalhealth.org/clinicaland-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/.
Lactation: Infants exposed to risperidone through
breastmilk should be monitored for excess sedation, failure to
thrive, jitteriness, and EPS.
Fertility: UZEDY may cause a reversible reduction in
fertility in females.
Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of UZEDY have not
been established in pediatric patients.
Renal or Hepatic Impairment: Carefully titrate on oral
risperidone up to at least 2 mg daily before initiating treatment
with UZEDY.
Patients with Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Lewy
bodies can experience increased sensitivity to UZEDY.
Manifestations and features are consistent with NMS.
Please see the full Prescribing Information for
UZEDY, including Boxed WARNING.
