Novel Drug Approvals 2024
Abstract
In 2024, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CEDR) approved 50 new drugs. As healthcare professionals, staying up to date on new therapies is vital. There are a wide range of medications that fall into several categories; therefore every professional can find a medication that pertains to their field. Three medications in particular will be described in detail outlining their background, the clinical trials highlighting their efficacy and safety, and lastly the prescribing information. The three medications are as follows, Xanomeline/Trospium Chloride (Cobenfy),Sotatercept-csrk (Winrevair) and Suzetrigine (Journavx). Xanomeline/trospium chloride (Cobenfy) is a first of its kind as a treatment for adult patients with schizophrenia disorder. This medication is thought to work through the muscarinic receptors, making this medication unique compared to current therapies such as first- and second-generation antipsychotics which exert its mechanism through dopamine receptors. Sotaercept-csrk (Winrevair) is the first and only FDA approved activin signaling inhibitor for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. This medication can help patients reduce the risk of clinically deteriorating events, improve WHO functional class, and improve exercise capacity by promoting vascular proliferation. Suzetrigine (Journavx) is a first-in-class non-opioid analgesic that is used to treat moderate to severe acute pain in adults. This medication…
