Sun Pharmaceutical Announces FDA Approval of LEQSELVI™ for Severe Alopecia Areata

Published

on

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited is thrilled to announce that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved LEQSELVI™ (deuruxolitinib) 8 mg tablets for the treatment of adults with severe alopecia areata. This approval is a significant milestone, particularly for the roughly 300,000 Americans living with this challenging condition.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder marked by significant hair loss, often resulting in severe emotional and psychological distress. The journey to finding effective treatment options has been fraught with challenges, as the condition could be unpredictable and resistant to previous therapies.

Groundbreaking Clinical Trial Results

The FDA’s approval of LEQSELVI™ was supported by robust evidence from two Phase 3 clinical trials, THRIVE-AA1 and THRIVE-AA2, which collectively enrolled 1,220 patients. These studies demonstrated that LEQSELVI™ delivered substantial hair regrowth: at 24 weeks, approximately one-third of the patients achieved 80% or more scalp hair coverage, a significant improvement from an average baseline scalp hair coverage of just 13%.

How LEQSELVI™ Works

LEQSELVI™ is a cutting-edge, twice-daily oral medication that selectively inhibits Janus Kinases (JAK) JAK1 and JAK2. This mechanism targets the immune pathways believed to contribute to the hair loss seen in severe alopecia areata, offering a new hope to those who have had limited success with existing treatments.

Safety and Efficacy

The treatment has been carefully tested for safety across several studies. While the medication is generally well-tolerated, it does carry warnings for serious infections, malignancies, thrombosis, and gastrointestinal perforations, similar to other treatments in its class. Patients and healthcare providers are advised to monitor for symptoms and manage them accordingly.

Support and Accessibility

Understanding the challenges associated with treatment access, Sun Pharma is initiating a comprehensive access program. This initiative will help eligible patients begin and adhere to their treatment, ensuring that LEQSELVI™ reaches those who need it the most. More details about this program are available on the official LEQSELVI™ website.

A Step Forward for the Alopecia Community

The approval of LEQSELVI™ represents a significant advancement for the alopecia community. Abhay Gandhi, CEO North America Business, Sun Pharma, shared his enthusiasm about bringing this innovative treatment to the market, stating it “offers a new and effective solution that will significantly enhance the options for patients and their physicians.”

Moreover, organizations such as the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) have welcomed this new treatment option. Nicole Friedland, President and CEO of NAAF, highlighted the importance of this development, underscoring the profound impact alopecia areata can have on individuals’ lives.

Looking Ahead

With the introduction of LEQSELVI™, Sun Pharma continues to cement its position as a leader in dermatological treatments. The company’s commitment to addressing complex medical conditions through innovative solutions is evident in their rapidly expanding dermatology portfolio.

For patients suffering from severe alopecia areata, LEQSELVI™ represents not merely a new treatment option but a new hope—a possibility of regaining not just their hair, but also their confidence and quality of life.

Coca-Cola Recall Alert: Thousands of Cans Pulled From Shelves in Two States

Published

on

In a significant recall notification, Coca-Cola has announced the withdrawal of over 10,000 cans of its popular beverage due to concerns over foreign object contamination. This announcement was initially made on March 6, and affected cans were sold in the states of Illinois and Wisconsin.

This week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified the risk level of this recall as Class 2. This designation indicates that consuming the affected Coca-Cola “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” although the chances of serious health consequences are deemed to be remote.

Which Coca-Cola Products Were Recalled?

The recall impacts a total of 864 packs of 12 cans of Coca-Cola, amounting to 10,368 cans in total. The specific details of the recalled products are as follows:

  • Product Description: Coca-Cola Original Taste, 12 Fl Oz
  • Can UPC: 0 49000-00634 6
  • 12-Can Pack UPC: 0 49000-02890 4
  • Date Code: SEP2925MDA
  • Time Stamp: 1100-1253

Which States Are Affected?

The recall specifically concerns Coca-Cola cans distributed in the following states:

  • Illinois
  • Wisconsin

Why Were the Coca-Cola Cans Recalled?

The FDA has reported that these Coca-Cola cans were recalled due to contamination with a foreign object, in this case, plastic. Such contaminants can inadvertently enter food and beverage products at various stages during the production process, posing a safety risk if ingested. It is important to note that the FDA report did not indicate any associated injuries related to this specific recall

If you have purchased Coca-Cola cans with the above UPC codes in Illinois or Wisconsin, it is recommended that you refrain from consuming the affected products. Instead, please return them to the store where you purchased them for a full refund or exchange. Staying informed about product recalls is crucial to consumer safety, and it is always advisable to check for the latest updates from the FDA and Coca-Cola regarding product safety issues. For any additional questions, feel free to reach out to Coca-Cola directly or visit the FDA’s website. Stay safe!

PORT COQUITLAM, BC /PRNewswire/ — Fit Foods Ltd., a leading Canadian-based sports nutrition company in the bodybuilding and fitness industry for those born different, knows what drives the hardcore.

They bring a relentless, hardcore attitude because it fuels their existence. They stand out in the crowd, united by muscle, and they’re hungry for more. MUTANT gets it. That’s why they craft serious supplements and quality apparel with kick-ass purpose, built solely for those who refuse to settle.

Big Greens is a new epic superfoods drink mix from MUTANT that is debuting at The Arnold Sports Festival.

Big Greens is an epic superfoods drink mix that isn’t for the faint-hearted. Big Greens is the greenest greens on the market, engineered to support immune system function, muscle recovery, proper muscle contractions, and a reduction in oxidative stress—because those who live this lifestyle demand more than the basics. Available in two bold flavors, Berry Good and Just Chocolate, it packs a high-dose punch with key ingredients like spirulina, KSM-66® ashwagandha, DE111® probiotic, and over 40 superfoods. This is manufacturer-direct, multi-award-winning innovation from a team that lives the grind just as fiercely as their fans.

“Your mother always told you to eat your greens, so we made the greenest greens out there: easy, quick, and built for you to drink alone or stack with your favorite protein powder. This isn’t some watered-down drink mix — just look at the label — it’s for those who dominate and who push their limits in the gym and beyond,” said MUTANT President and CEO Jim McMahon. “They don’t just train, eat, and sleep—they attack every rep to be their best. Big Greens is built for them and to harness their discipline in a convenient way that also helps with better recovery.”
