ירושלים, 1 ביולי 2019 – טבע תעשיות פרמצבטיות בע"מ  (NYSE and TASE: TEVA)  הודיעה היום על השקת 1% נתרן Hyaluronate. המוצר קיבל אישור מהמרכז עבור התקנים ורפואה רדיולוגית של מנהל המזון והתרופות האמריקני (FDA).  
1% נתרן Hyaluronate מיועד לטיפול בכאב באוסטאוארתריטיס (OA) של הברך בחולים שלא הגיבו כראוי לטיפול שמרני לא תרופתי ומשככי כאבים פשוטים (למשל, אצטמינופין).

אנשים שקיבלו 1% נתרן Hyaluronate דיווחו על ירידה מובהקת סטטיסטית בציוני הכאב מתחילת המחקר ועד לשבוע 26 בהשוואה ליחידים בקבוצת הפלסבו. באופן כללי, תופעות לוואי של טיפול היו דומות בכל שלושת כלי המחקר עם הכאב הנפוץ ביותר בברך או באתר ההזרקה. תוצאות האפקטיביות היו דומות בין 1% נתרן היאלורונאט ו- Euflexxa.

"ההשקה של 1% נתרן Hyaluronate היא דוגמה מצוינת לשימוש במומחיות בתוך טבע כדי להפגיש מיומנויות מהעסק הגנרי יחד עם עסק תרופות המקור", אמר ברנדן או'גריידי, סמנכ"ל בכיר צפון אמריקה מסחרי. "אנו גאים להביא הצעת ערך נוספת לרופאים ולמטופלים המבקשים אפשרויות טיפול לכאב בברך OA".

1% Sodium Hyaluronate is supplied in a 3 mL disposable prefilled syringe containing 2 mL of 1% sodium hyaluronate, and packaged as three syringes to a carton. For details on ordering call Teva Customer Service at 1-888-838-2872.

About 1% Sodium Hyaluronate

1% sodium hyaluronate is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use 1% sodium hyaluronate to treat patients who have a known hypersensitivity to hyaluronan preparations. Do not use to treat patients with knee joint infections or to treat patients with infections or skin disease in the area of the injection site.

Do not concomitantly use disinfectants containing quaternary ammonium salts or chlorhexidine for skin preparations because hyaluronan can precipitate in their presence. Do not inject intravascularly because intravascular injections of 1% sodium hyaluronate may cause systemic adverse events.

The safety and effectiveness of 1% sodium hyaluronate has not been established in pregnant women.  It is not known if 1% sodium hyaluronate is excreted in human milk. The safety and effectiveness of 1% sodium hyaluronate has not been established in lactating women or in children (21 years of age or younger).

The most common target-knee related treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was arthralgia. The most common device-related and injection-related TEAE was injection site joint pain.
