Novartis receives EU approval for Votubia® | European ...
Novartis announced today that the European Commission (EC) has approved Votubia® (everolimus) tablets* for the treatment of patients aged 3 years and older, with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), who require therapeutic intervention but are not amenable to surgery[1]. Prior to the approval of Votubia, an oral medication, brain surgery was the only treatment option for children and adults in the European Union with SEGA associated with TSC[2].
Tuberous sclerosis complex, also known as tuberous sclerosis (TS), affects approximately one to two million people worldwide and is associated with a variety of resulting disorders including seizures, swelling in the brain (hydrocephalus), developmental delays and skin lesions[2],[5]. In Europe, the prevalence in the general population is estimated to be nearly nine cases per 100,000[6]. TSC is a genetic disorder that may cause non-cancerous tumors to form in vital organs and can affect many different parts of the body, most commonly the brain and kidney[5],[7]. Signs and symptoms of TSC vary depending on which system and which organs are involved[5]. SEGAs, or non-cancerous brain tumors, occur in up to 20% of patients with TSC[2].
The approval from the EC follows a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) in June and is based on a prospective, open-label, single-arm, Phase II study of 28 patients[1],[2],[8]. Results from this trial showed that 78% of patients (21 of 27) experienced a reduction of 30% or greater in the size of their largest SEGA and 33% (9 of 27) experienced a reduction of 50% or greater at six months relative to baseline[1],[2]. An additional placebo-controlled phase III study examining this patient population was recently presented at the International TSC Research Conference in July. This trial met its primary endpoint of SEGA response rate[9].
