Read the latest medications for pediatric patients approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

The Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act and the Pediatric Research Equity Act have continued to provide us with more US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications for pediatric patients and updates in labeling that help us safely and effectively use medications in children. This article summarizes labeling changes, new dosage forms, and new drug approvals from November 2021 to December 2022. Table 1 includes information on newly approved drugs indicated for use in pediatric patients, whereas Table 2 lists newly approved drugs for adults with the potential for use in pediatric patients. Table 3 describes new dosage forms for medications, and Table 4 lists labeling changes to existing drugs with implications for pediatric patients.

The use of biologic therapies for managing chronic pediatric diseases such as atopic dermatitis and asthma has evolved. Adbry (tralokinumab-ldrm)1 is a subcutaneous monoclonal antibody approved for the management of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in adult patients. Results from clinical studies have demonstrated benefits from scores on the Investigator’s Global Assessment scale and the Eczema Area and Severity Index. Additionally, patients reported improved sleep scores and decreased itch,2 end points affecting the quality of life of patients with atopic dermatitis. Although tralokinumab-ldrm is not yet approved in pediatrics, the plan is to study it in hopes of expanding indications.

Other targets of biologic therapy for atopic dermatitis are the JAK inhibitors. Recent approvals that target the JAK pathway include Opzelura (ruxolitinib), Cibinqo (abrocitinib), and a labeling update to include adolescents for Rinvoq (upadacitinib).2 Approval for these agents was based on clinical outcomes of decreased itch improvements in skin clearance, extent of disease, and severity.3-5 Abrocitinib and upadacitinib are oral agents, and ruxolitinib is a topical agent, providing a more patient-friendly and easier to use dosage formulations for biologics in pediatric patients.

For the management of asthma, the novel agent Tezspire (tezepelumab-ekko) was approved in December 2021 for add-on maintenance management of asthma in adult and pediatric patients 12 years or older. Results from 2 pivotal trials, the Pathway trial and the NAVIGATOR trial (NCT03347279), led to the approval of the drug. Pediatric patients 12 years or older were included in the NAVIGATOR trial. Tezepelumab decreased all-comers exacerbations in the Pathway trial by 71% and by 56% in the NAVIGATOR trial. Decreases in hospitalizations, improvement in forced expiratory volume in the first second, and reductions in blood and sputum eosinophil and fractional exhaled nitric oxide levels were observed. In addition, an overall decrease in exacerbations occurred across all phenotypic styles of asthma. At this point, available biologics work for specific phenotypic styles, so tezepelumab is unique in that it is not phenotype dependent.6

Livtencity (maribavir) was approved in November 2021 and provided a significant advancement in the management of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in adults and pediatric patients 12 years or older weighing 35 kg or more with posttransplant CMV infection or disease refractory to alternative treatment. It has demonstrated efficacy in 56% of patients (n=131/235) compared with those treated with conventional antiviral therapies (24%; n=28/117) (adjusted difference: 33%; 95% CI, 23-43; P<.001).7 Prior to FDA approval, it was granted orphan drug designation by the FDA for management of clinically significant CMV viremia and disease in patients at risk and granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for management of CMV infection and disease in patients who received transplants whose disease was resistant or refractory to prior therapy. It is currently being studied as first-line management of CMV in patients who received stem cell transplants.8 A pediatric study is planned but has not yet started enrolling.9

Recent approval of first-in-class biologic agent Tzield (teplizumab-mzwv) presents a novel approach to the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D), becoming the first drug to delay disease progression. Administered as a single course consisting of once-daily intravenous infusions for 14 consecutive days, this agent is indicated to delay the onset of stage 3 T1D in patients 8 years or older with stage 2 T1D. Approval was based on the results of a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that demonstrated superior efficacy of teplizumab in delaying onset to diagnosis vs placebo (48.4 vs 24.4 months) in relatives of T1D patients at high risk of developing disease.10,11

Other novel treatments from this year include the approval of several gene therapy cellular products, effectively changing the treatment paradigm for certain chronic diseases. One of these agents, Zynteglo (betibeglogene autotemcel), was approved for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with β-thalassemia (all genotypes) who require regular red blood cell transfusions. Approval was based on ongoing phase 3 studies, in which 89% of patients achieved transfusion independence for a continuous period of 12 months or greater. This presents a major shift in treatment options for this patient population, potentially eliminating the need for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.12

New drug dosage forms

As more medications continue to receive expanded pediatric indications, new dosage formulations for ease and feasibility of administration have been increasingly in demand. Several new oral liquid preparations were introduced, notably Xarelto (rivaroxaban) 1-mg/mL oral suspension, following pediatric approval in 2021.13 Furthermore, new formulations of preexisting liquid products were introduced for several commonly prescribed medications. Norliqva (amlodipine) 1-mg/mL oral solution presents an alternative to the preexisting amlodipine suspension, Katerzia 1 mg/mL. This new formulation differs in that it does not require shaking upon administration or refrigeration.14,15 To further expand administration options for patients and their caregivers, a new prefilled 40-mg subcutaneous syringe was introduced for Nucala (mepolizumab), indicated for the management of severe eosinophilic asthma. This the first option available for home administration in eligible patients aged 6 to 11 years.16 Lastly, Xelstrym (dextroamphetamine) transdermal patch presents the first topical formulation of dextroamphetamine approved for the management of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children 6 years or older.17

Labeling changes

In 2022, we continued to observe expanded indications for younger pediatric age groups. Despite initial clinical off-label use, these updated labels help support the use of medications in children safely and effectively. Below are highlights of some updates of expanded indications in pediatric patients.

Smoflipid (lipid injectable emulsion) has been used in neonates for a few years. Despite a lack of FDA approval, it is used in first-line treatment in many instances. FDA approval for neonates born preterm and at term was based on safety and efficacy evidence from multiple studies ranging from 1 to 4 weeks and one study following neonates beyond 4 weeks.

Multiple medications for HIV, particularly combination products, are now approved for use in younger pediatric patients. Genvoya (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide) and Descovy (emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide) are both now approved for pediatric patients aged as young as 2 years. Triumeq PD (abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine) is now available in a dispersible tablet and indicated in children who weigh 10 kg or more. Pifeltro (doravirine) tablets and Delstrigo (doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) tablets are approved in patients who weigh 35 kg or more. Similarly, Cabenuva (cabotegravir/rilpivirine) injection and Vocabria (cabotegravir) tablets are new agents approved for use in patients 12 years or older and have expanded labels for pediatric patients who weigh 35 kg or more.18,19

Conclusion

Novel treatments approved in 2022 provide improved therapies for patients with acute and chronic illnesses. For the pediatric patient population, novel therapies have the potential to change the long-term outcomes of chronic diseases such as T1D. New gene therapies have transformed the management of certain diseases. We continue to gain more information on the use of medications in pediatric patients through labeling changes.
