September 26, 2009

Stelara Approved to Treat Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis in Adults | www.webmd.com

The FDA approved Stelara based on three studies of 2,266 patients who either got shots of Stelara or a placebo. Patients who got Stelara were more likely to achieve the studies' benchmark for reduction in psoriasis.In a news release, the FDA notes that because Stelara reduces the immune system's ability to fight infections, the product poses a risk of infection. "Serious infections have been reported in patients receiving the product and some of them have led to hospitalization. These infections were caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that have spread throughout the body. There may also be an increased risk of developing cancer," the FDA states.

Issues with Ustekinumab

June 23, 2008

Positive news on J&J's ustekinumab diminished by safety concerns - analysts | www.tradingmarkets.com

On Tuesday, the FDA's Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Drug Advisory Panel voted unanimously to approve the use of the injectable drug for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, a severe skin disease. As the FDA usually follows the recommendations of its advisory panels when reviewing new drugs for approval, it is anticipated that the regulatory body will approve the drug in the fourth quarter, analysts said. But concerns over the drug's carcinogenic potential and the panel's recommendation that the drug be administered only by a physician and not directly by the patient could diminish enthusiasm over ustekinumab and lessen the drug's potential market share.
