PANTHERx® Rare Pharmacy announces that it has been selected by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, the leading RNAi therapeutics company, as a very limited distribution pharmacy partner for new drug OXLUMO™ (lumasiran). The drug has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) to lower urinary oxalate levels in pediatric and adult patients.
Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a group of autosomal-recessive diseases resulting from defects in different enzymes involved in glyoxylate metabolism leading to overproduction of oxalate in the liver. There are 3 types of PH: PH1, PH2, and PH3. PH1 is the most common and most severe type of PH caused by a mutation in the AGXT gene that renders the liver enzyme alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) dysfunctional.
OXLUMO is a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic that targets the messenger RNA of the hydroxyacid oxidase 1 (HAO1) gene, which encodes glycolate oxidase (GO) – the liver enzyme responsible for oxalate production and upstream of the AGT enzyme deficient in patients with PH1. By reducing the synthesis of GO, OXLUMO decreases the production of oxalate – the metabolite that directly contributes to the pathophysiology of PH1.
In the pivotal trial, ILLUMINATE-A, OXLUMO was compared against placebo in patients 6 years of age and older with PH1 and an eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2. OXLUMO met the primary efficacy endpoint of percent reduction from baseline in 24-hour urinary oxalate excretion corrected for BSA, averaged over Months 3 through 6. Specifically, OXLUMO treatment (N=26) resulted in a mean reduction of 53.5 percent relative to placebo (N=13) (p=1.7 x 10-14), and showed a 65.4 percent mean reduction in urinary oxalate relative to baseline. The most common (≥20%) adverse reaction reported was injection site reaction. Injection site reactions occurred throughout the study period and included erythema, pain, pruritus, and swelling.
“We are honored to partner with Alnylam and provide PANTHERx’s award-winning RxARECARE® services to people living with primary hyperoxaluria type 1,” said Dr. Gordon Vanscoy, Chairman & CEO of PANTHERx Rare. “This rare disease medication provides a new option for patients and their families who previously had no approved pharmacologic treatment. PANTHERx is proud to serve as the link between biopharma and patients, delivering medications to the people who need them most.”

About OXLUMOTM (lumasiran)
OXLUMO is an RNAi therapeutic targeting hydroxyacid oxidase 1 (HAO1) for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) to lower urinary oxalate levels in pediatric and adult patients. HAO1 encodes glycolate oxidase (GO), an enzyme upstream of the disease-causing defect in PH1. OXLUMO works by degrading HAO1 messenger RNA and reducing the synthesis of GO, which inhibits hepatic production of oxalate – the toxic metabolite responsible for the clinical manifestations of PH1. In the pivotal ILLUMINATE-A study, OXLUMO was shown to significantly reduce levels of urinary oxalate relative to placebo, with the majority of patients reaching normal or near-normal levels. Injection site reactions (ISRs) were the most common drug-related adverse reaction. In the ILLUMINATE-B pediatric Phase 3 study, OXLUMO demonstrated an efficacy and safety profile consistent to that observed in ILLUMINATE-A. OXLUMO utilizes Alnylam’s Enhanced Stabilization Chemistry (ESC)-GalNAc conjugate technology designed to increase potency and durability. OXLUMO is administered via subcutaneous injection once monthly for three months, then once quarterly thereafter at a dose based on actual body weight. For patients who weigh less than 10 kg, ongoing dosing remains monthly. OXLUMO should be administered by a healthcare professional. For more information about OXLUMO, visit OXLUMO.com.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reaction that occurred in patients treated with OXLUMO was injection site reaction (38%). Symptoms included erythema, pain, pruritus, and swelling.
Pregnancy and Lactation
No data are available on the use of OXLUMO in pregnant women. No data are available on the presence of OXLUMO in human milk or its effects on breastfed infants or milk production. Consider the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother’s clinical need for OXLUMO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from OXLUMO or the underlying maternal condition.

PANTHERx® Rare Pharmacy announces that it has been selected by Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical as a limited distribution partner for new drug DOJOLVITM (triheptanoin). DOJOLVI™ (a highly purified, pharmaceutical-grade, synthetic seven carbon fatty acid triglyceride) is a specially designed synthetic triglyceride compound, which was developed to treat patients with long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD). DOJOLVI™ provides these patients with a medium-length, odd-chain fatty acid that LC-FAOD patients can metabolize and serve as an alternative source of energy (by increasing intermediate substrates in the Krebs cycle, a key energy-generating process).
“PANTHERx Rare is proud to be chosen by Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical to deliver hope, white glove services, and DOJOLVI™ to people living with LC-FAOD,” said Dr. Gordon Vanscoy, Chairman & CEO of PANTHERx. “Our unique RxARECARE™ Team structure ensures that new patients, and all of our patients, receive the level of superior quality, award-wining care that has become synonymous with PANTHERx. We look forward to making a difference in the lives of people living with LC-FAOD.”
LC-FAODs are a group of autosomal recessive genetic disorders characterized by metabolic deficiencies in which the body is unable to convert long-chain fatty acids into energy. The inability to produce energy from fat can lead to severe depletion of glucose in the body, and serious liver, muscle, and heart disease, which can lead to hospitalizations or early death. Currently, LC-FAOD patients are treated with the avoidance of fasting, low-fat/high carbohydrate diets, carnitine, and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, a medical food product. Despite current therapy, many patients have significant metabolic events including hospitalizations and mortality due to LC-FAOD.

“We are incredibly proud of our team’s recognition and what it means for PANTHERx. It’s a sign of our relentless commitment to doing better and being better.

PANTHERx® Rare Pharmacy announces that it has been selected by Deciphera Pharmaceuticals as a limited distribution partner for new drug QINLOCKTM (ripretinib). QINLOCK™ is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) who have received prior treatment with 3 or more kinase inhibitors, including imatinib. Deciphera is focused on developing and commercializing innovative drugs that address the unmet medical needs of cancer patients by addressing key mechanisms of drug resistance.
“PANTHERx is thrilled to be chosen by Deciphera Pharmaceuticals to deliver hope, this new oncology therapy with a novel mechanism of action, and our award winning white-glove services to patients living with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors,” said Dr. Gordon Vanscoy, Chairman & CEO of PANTHERx. “As a partner, PANTHERx is proud to do our part in advancing oncology care and we are excited to offer more treatment options for people living with rare cancers.”
QINLOCKTM (ripretinib) targets the broad spectrum of KIT and PDGFRα mutations known to drive GIST, including KIT mutations known to cause resistance to currently approved agents. Metastatic GIST is a disease characterized by many mutations, with over 90% of GIST patients harboring multiple mutations that drive progression of their disease. The complex heterogeneity of mutations within individual tumors and individual patients is a major cause of resistance to existing therapies.
While approved kinase inhibitors control certain initiating and drug resistance-causing mutations in KIT and PDGFRα, the kinases that drive disease progression in most GIST patients, these approved drugs fail to inhibit all known mutations. QINLOCKTM (ripretinib) was specifically designed to improve the treatment of GIST patients by inhibiting the full spectrum of known mutations in KIT and PDGFRα.

PANTHERx Rare Pharmacy (PANTHERx) has again been recognized as the winner of the annual, national Specialty Pharmacy Patient Choice Award™. “We are honored and humbled to be recognized as the top independent specialty pharmacy in overall patient satisfaction for a third time,” says PANTHERx Chairman & CEO, Dr. Gordon Vanscoy. “No other measure and recognition could be more meaningful to us. The results of the Managed Markets Insights & Technology Zitter Health Insights (MMIT ZHI) Patient Satisfaction Surveys validate the success of our mission to redefine the
level of care provided in specialty and rare pharmacy. We are honored by this award because it is derived from the patients we serve, patients that are expressing their utmost satisfaction with our team. Valid, independent patient satisfaction survey benchmarking raises the quality bar for the entire industry and patients win as a result.”
PANTHERx’s win follows on the heels of two recent peer recognitions: PANTHERx was awarded Specialty Pharmacy of the Year by the National Association of Specialty Pharmacy and earned the inaugural Accredited Distinction in Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC). “PANTHERx’s uniqueness stems from our individualized rare disease patient approach guided by a proprietary technology platform. Every PANTHERx patient is met on their journey, at whatever stage they are in, and navigated along a path of better health with a dedicated team of PANTHERx associates by their side,” says Dr. Richard Faris, SVP of Pharmacy at PANTHERx. “We focus on listening to the needs and desires of every patient so that we can provide them with the right care at the right time. This award, where patients are given the platform to openly assess the service they receive, is the best indicator that our RxARECARE teams seamlessly execute the 1PANTHERxTM way of providing care.”
About the Award
The MMIT ZHI Patient Choice Award honors a specialty pharmacy’s commitment to patients. The criteria for the award were formulated by an external awards committee made up of prominent individuals representing pharmaceutical manufacturers, payors, trade organizations, consultants, and equity research firms. Pharmacies were selected as finalists for the Patient Choice Award based on their average Net Promoter Score (NPS) from all four quarterly surveys conducted during the 2019 calendar year. PANTHERx Rare Pharmacy’s average NPS for 2019 topped the charts.
About the Survey
The MMIT ZHI survey uses a robust, statistically validated methodology and assesses numerous aspects of patient satisfaction and analyzes responses from more than 10,000 specialty pharmacy patients across all specialty pharmacies every year. By leveraging an independent entity to aggregate unbiased patient feedback, specialty pharmacies can objectively assess how they are perceived by their patients, as well as benchmark how they compare to competitor performance in the areas of patient perception, access, and adherence. The NPS–an index of -100 to 100 that measures patients’ willingness to recommend their pharmacy to others–is the primary metric of the survey.
