See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Onivyde

Onivyde is a chemotherapy drug used to treat pancreatic cancer. It is a liposomal formulation of irinotecan [1].

How does Onivyde work?


Onivyde is a topoisomerase I inhibitor. It works by preventing cancer cells from dividing and growing, ultimately leading to their death [2]. The liposomal encapsulation is designed to alter the drug's distribution and potentially increase its concentration in tumors [1].

What types of pancreatic cancer is Onivyde used for?


Onivyde is indicated for patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma whose disease has progressed following gemcitabine-based chemotherapy [2]. It is typically used in combination with other chemotherapy agents [1].

When does Onivyde's patent expire?


Information on Onivyde's patent expiration dates can be found through specialized patent tracking services like DrugPatentWatch.com [3]. Patent landscapes for complex pharmaceuticals are dynamic and can be influenced by various factors, including new formulations, manufacturing processes, and regulatory exclusivities [3].

What are the side effects of Onivyde?


Common side effects of Onivyde include diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, stomatitis, and abdominal pain [2]. Severe side effects can occur, and patients should discuss potential risks with their healthcare provider [2].

Are there alternatives to Onivyde for pancreatic cancer treatment?


Several chemotherapy regimens are used for pancreatic cancer, often depending on the stage of the disease and prior treatments. Other treatment options may include fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (non-liposomal) [1].

Who manufactures Onivyde?


Onivyde is manufactured by Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals [4].

Accurate Statements

Onivyde can cause severe or life-threatening neutropenia and fatal neutropenic sepsis (severe neutropenia warnings).
Supported by Section 5.1 (includes “severe or life-threatening neutropenia and fatal neutropenic sepsis” and withholding guidance for ANC <1500/mm^3 or neutropenic fever).
Onivyde can cause severe and life-threatening diarrhea and includes withholding guidance for Grade 2-4 diarrhea, with management using atropine for early onset and loperamide for late onset.

Contradictions


Important Omissions

Complete indications/usage details, contraindications, boxed warnings, and full warnings/precautions beyond severe neutropenia/diarrhea (e.g., other boxed warnings/warnings not shown in excerpts).
Importance: High
Comprehensive dosage and administration instructions (including exact regimen selection, specific administration procedure details, and detailed dose modification tables) beyond the limited withholding/resume thresholds shown.
Importance: Moderate
Drug interaction information, storage/handling instructions, and specific population guidance (pregnancy, pediatric, renal/hepatic impairment) not present in provided excerpts.
Importance: Moderate

Safety Assessment

Potential Patient Risk: Moderate
The response set includes multiple claims not supported by the supplied label excerpts (indication specifics, common adverse reaction list, mechanism, and manufacturer). While the key safety-warning claim (severe neutropenia/diarrhea) is supported, unsupported broader statements could mislead if used for prescribing/safety interpretation.

Recommendation

Partially Aligned

Primary Issue
Many Onivyde claims are not verifiable against the limited label excerpts provided (especially indication, common adverse reactions, mechanism/liposomal distribution rationale, and manufacturer). Only the severe neutropenia and severe diarrhea warnings are explicitly supported.

Suggested Improvement
Limit claims to what is present in the supplied label excerpts (Sections 5.1 and 5.2 for neutropenia/diarrhea; Section 3 for dosage form; Section 2.2 for specific dosing/regimen excerpts). For indication and common adverse reactions, cite the corresponding label sections not included in the provided excerpts.
