Venetoclax is a BCL-2 inhibitor that was initially approved by the FDA in April 2016 [FDA label]. Proteins in the B cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) family are important regulators of the apoptotic (programmed cell death) process,. Venetoclax is used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and certain types of small lymphocytic lymphoma [FDA label]. CLL is the most prevalent leukemia diagnosed in Western countries. Venetoclax was developed through reverse engineering of the BCL-2 protein family inhibitor, navitoclax. Venetoclax is approximately 10 times more potent than navitoclax with regard to induction of apoptosis in CLL cells. A new indication was approved in 2018 for the treatment patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), with or without 17p deletion, who have
Ozanimod is a once-daily sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator for the treatment of relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and inflammatory bowel disease. It was developed by Celgene (now acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb) and was approved by the FDA on March 26, 2020.[L12573,L12582] The US approval was followed by the approval in Canada on October 2, 2020. In November 2021, ozanimod was also approved by the European Commission for the treatment of adults with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.[L39377,L39382] MS is a devastating inflammatory disease that often progresses and causes severe neurological, physical, and cognitive effects. Inflammatory bowel disease also a chronic inflammatory condition and can cause persistent abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stools, and vomiting. In clinical trials, Ozanimod has been shown to be well-tolerated and has resulted in a higher decrease in the rate of MS relapses than with intramuscular [interferon beta-1a], a current standard in MS therapy. Studies involving patients with inflammatory bowel disease have also shown promising results.[A189318,A189342]
