- 维奥莎®(非唑奈坦)是一种同类首创 的新型非激素药物,可缓解绝经相关中重度血管舒缩症状(VMS)
-血管舒缩症状正影响着全球50% 以及中国80% , 的女性
香港,2025年5月9日,香港药剂业及毒药管理局近日已批准维奥莎®(非唑奈坦)45毫克用于缓解与停经相关的中度至重度血管舒缩症状。该批准是基于BRIGHT SKY™项目的结果,该项目包括三项三期临床试验,在欧洲、美国和加拿大招募了超过3000名患者5 。
血管舒缩症(VMS,又称潮热和/或盗汗)是女性更年期常见的临床表现6,7 。在绝经前,女性体内雌激素(主要由卵巢分泌的性激素)与神经激肽 B(一种由中枢神经系统产生的神经递质)之间维持着相对平衡,该平衡对大脑中调控体温的中枢区域至关重要。随着女性进入更年期,卵巢功能逐渐衰退,雌激素水平显著下降,导致这种调节机制失衡,从而触发体温调节异常,最终表现为血管舒缩症状8。
非唑奈坦于2023年5月获得美国食品药物管理局 (FDA)批准,2023 年 12 月获得欧盟委员会批准,2024年2月获得澳大利亚药品管理局 (TGA) 批准,用于缓解绝经相关中重度血管舒缩症状 (VMS)。
关于非唑奈坦
非唑奈坦是一款口服、非激素类药物,用于缓解绝经相关中重度血管舒缩症状(VMS)。VMS也被称为潮热或盗汗。非唑奈坦的作用原理是通过阻断神经激肽B(NKB)与kisspeptin/神经激肽/强啡肽(KNDy)神经元的结合来调节大脑温度控制中心(下丘脑)的神经元活动,从而减少潮热和盗汗的频率和严重程度9,10,11。
关于绝经相关血管舒缩症状(VMS)
血管舒缩症状(VMS),是更年期常见症状,表现为潮热(亦称潮红)和/或盗汗6,7。在全球范围内,40至64岁的女性中有50%以上会受到VMS的影响,欧洲的发生率在56%到97%之间不等2, 12,13 。在欧洲绝经后女性中,有40%出现中重度VMS14 。VMS可能对女性的日常活动和整体生活品质产生破坏性影响6。
关于BRIGHT SKY™第三阶段项目
BRIGHT SKY关键试验SKYLIGHT 1™(NCT04003155)和SKYLIGHT 2™(NCT04003142)招募了1000多名患有中度至重度VMS的绝经女性。试验在前12周采用双盲、安慰剂对照,然后接受40周的扩展期治疗。入组患者来自美国、加拿大和欧洲的180多个研究中心。SKYLIGHT 4™(NCT04003389)是一项为期52周的双盲安慰剂对照研究,旨在研究非唑奈坦的长期安全性。对于SKYLIGHT 4,在美国、加拿大和欧洲的180多个研究中心招募了超过1800多名患有VMS的绝经女性。
