4:30PM Pacira Pharma: Phase 4 IMPROVE publication fids EXPAREL-based multimodal analgesia reduces opioid use, adverse events and hospital stay following laparoscopic surgery (PCRX) 57.26 +1.43 : Co announced results from the IMPROVE study in laparoscopic colectomy. IMPROVE represents a series of open-label prospective Phase 4 clinical studies to assess the differences in postsurgical opioid use and health economic outcomes between patients receiving EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) as the foundation of a multimodal analgesic regimen versus a standard opioid-based regimen for postsurgical pain control. The results were published in the January issue of Current Therapeutic Research.
The study evaluated 82 patients who underwent laparoscopic colectomy, a minimally invasive surgery to remove all or part of the colon using several small incisions in the abdomen. Compared to patients in the standard opioid-based treatment arm-who received intravenous (IV) opioids via patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) devices-patients undergoing the same procedure and receiving an EXPAREL-based multimodal regimen experienced:
A 64 mg reduction in mean opioid consumption (32 mg in the EXPAREL group compared with 96 mg in the IV opioid-based PCA group; P<0.0001)
A 1-day reduction in median length of hospital stay (3.0 days in the EXPAREL group compared with 4.0 days in the IV opioid-based PCA group; P=0.0019)
Significantly fewer opioid-related adverse events (ORAEs) (8 percent of patients in the EXPAREL group experienced ORAEs, compared with 41 percent of patients in the IV opioid-based PCA group; P=0.0019)
A $1,784 reduction in mean hospitalization costs ($11,234 in the EXPAREL group compared with $13,018 in the IV opioid-based PCA group)

6:32AM Pacira Pharma announces positive interim analysis of EXPAREL in femoral nerve block for total knee arthroplasty (PCRX) 29.62 : Co announced findings from the completed first part of its Phase 2/3 clinical trial assessing the use and administration of EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) as a single-dose injection femoral nerve block for total knee arthroplasty surgery (TKA). Results show safety and efficacy of EXPAREL in femoral nerve block to support initiation of the Phase 3 portion of the pivotal trial. Based on the evaluation of both safety and efficacy after 72 hours of follow-up, a single dose level was to be selected for assessment in the second part of the study. Following the review of the data, the committee responsible for assessing the safety and efficacy profile determined that EXPAREL should be dosed at 266 mg in the Phase 3 portion of the study, which will be initiated shortly. The committee also confirmed that if results from the Phase 2 portion of the trial are replicated in Phase 3, the target enrollment of 180 patients should be adequate to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the indication.
In addition, co also reported that patient enrollment was completed in a second Phase 3 nerve block clinical trial. This double-blind, placebo-controlled intercostal nerve block study enrolled 180 patients (90 patients on each arm) who were undergoing thoracotomy. The co expects that results from this additional Phase 3 study will contribute to a planned FDA supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) submission anticipated for early 2014.

New Published Analysis Finds Opioid-Related Adverse Events Increase Hospital Stays, Costs of Care and Risks of Readmission and Mortality
Retrospective Study Published in Pharmacotherapy Identifies Advanced Age, Obesity, Pre-Surgery Opioid Use and Comorbid Conditions as Predictive Risk Factors for Adverse Events
Press Release: Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. β 3 hours ago
PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PCRX) today announced the publication of findings from a retrospective analysis of more than 37,000 patients who underwent common inpatient surgeries at a large, 26-hospital healthcare system and received opioids for postsurgical pain management. According to the data, published in this monthβs issue of Pharmacotherapy, patients who experienced opioid-related adverse events (ORAEs) had statistically significantly higher hospital costs, longer hospital stays and increased risks of readmission and mortality.
Specifically, patients experiencing an ORAE:
Had a 55 percent longer hospital stay than patients without an ORAE (9.5 days vs. 6.1 days, P
Had a 47 percent higher hospitalization cost compared to patients without an ORAE ($21,012 vs. $14,291, P
Had a 36 percent increased risk of 30-day readmission compared to patients without an ORAE (P
Had a 3.4 times greater risk of inpatient mortality than patients without an ORAE (P
Researchers were also able to identify a series of characteristics that increased patientsβ risks for ORAEs. Predictive risk factors for an adverse event related to opioid use included: patient age of 65 or older, obesity, greater number of comorbidities and pre-surgery opioid use.
βThis regionally focused analysis mirrors findings from previously published national analyses that demonstrated the meaningful and measurable impact of opioid-related adverse events on patient outcomes and healthcare system costs,β said Dave Stack, President and CEO of Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. βWhile opioids have long been the mainstay of postsurgical pain management, a recent groundswell of advocacy to mitigate potentially fatal side effects may drive a shift in the current postsurgical pain management paradigm toward non-opioid or opioid-sparing pain regimens, especially in high-risk patients.β
In this retrospective analysis, researchers reviewed administrative discharge data at 26 hospitals in the southeastern United States, and identified 37,031 adult patients who underwent common soft tissue and orthopedic surgical procedures from January 2009 to December 2010. Among this patient sample, 98.6 percent received opioids after surgery, and 13.6 percent of those received a diagnosis of respiratory, gastrointestinal, central nervous system, urinary or other opioid-related adverse events during hospitalization.
Researchers conducted statistical analysis to evaluate risk factors that may predispose patients to postsurgical ORAEs and compared differences in length of stay, total hospitalization costs, 30-day readmission rates and inpatient mortality between the patients who experienced an ORAE and those who did not.
The research was supported by Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The full publication is available online here.

6:30AM Pacira Pharma announces new data support the benefits of EXPAREL for postsurgical analgesia following aesthetic plastic surgery procedures (PCRX) 29.30 : Co announced results from EXCLAIM, its Phase 4 prospective, observational study to assess the use of EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) for postsurgical analgesia in patients undergoing four common plastic surgery procedures. Patients who received EXPAREL following abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, breast reduction or a combination abdominoplasty/breast procedure reported low pain scores, high satisfaction with pain control and minimal opioid use. Key findings demonstrated that patients treated with EXPAREL reported:
Low pain scores (mean score of =4.0 on pain intensity scale of 0-10)
Minimal opioid use for rescue pain relief (mean of <3 tablets taken daily vs historically expected 10 tablets per day in a typical postsurgical pain management paradigm)
High satisfaction with pain management (all patients reported =3.0 on a 0-4 scale)
Excellent overall benefit of analgesia (OBAS) achieved with EXPAREL (mean score of =5 out of a possible 28 points)

The IMPROVE studies compare the difference in opioid use, total hospital cost and length of stay (LOS) between patients receiving EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) as the foundation of an opioid-sparing multimodal regimen versus a standard opioid-based postsurgical pain management regimen. Compared to patients undergoing open colectomy in the standard opioid-based treatment arm, patients undergoing the same procedure and receiving an EXPAREL-based multimodal regimen had: A 2.9-day reduction in median LOS (4.9 days in the hospital vs 2.0 days in the hospital, respectively; P=0.004); A $3,084 reduction in mean total hospital cost ($11,850 vs $8,766, respectively; P=0.027); A 58 mg reduction in mean opioid consumption (115 mg vs 57 mg, respectively; P=0.025). The overall safety profile for EXPAREL was consistent with previous experiences in the Phase 3 program.

The study was designed to compare the difference in three primary endpoints, cost, opioid consumption and hospital length of stay, between one group of patients receiving a standard opioid-based postsurgical pain management regimen and a second group of patients receiving EXPAREL as the foundation of an opioid-sparing multimodal regimen. The EXPAREL-based multimodal regimen achieved a statistically significant reduction in each primary endpoint, including a 60% reduction in LOS in patients undergoing open colectomy, a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the colon through an incision in the abdominal wall. EXPAREL is a non-opioid local analgesic indicated for administration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia. The overall safety profile for EXPAREL was consistent with previous experiences in the Phase 3 program.

Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Provides Update on Commercial Launch and Product Availability Timing for EXPAREL®
EXPAREL Expected to be Commercially Available in April 2012
Business WirePress Release: Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. β Mon, Jan 9, 2012 6:30 AM EST
PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCRX - News) today provided updated timing for its commercial launch of EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension), a non-opioid analgesic that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for administration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia.
Since FDA approval of EXPAREL in October 2011, Pacira has continued to execute its pre-commercial launch strategy focused on the broad hospital market and has undertaken initiatives to expand and enhance its ability to efficiently manufacture commercial quantities of EXPAREL.
As planned, Pacira has hired and trained a sales force and will proceed with a formulary-access driven launch strategy, beginning with a national sales meeting this week. Due to commercial manufacturing challenges, which Pacira is confident it can address, the company projects product availability in April 2012, by which time Pacira expects it will have manufactured sufficient product to meet customer demands at launch.
βOur goal is to ensure that we have an appropriate commercial supply of EXPAREL to support anticipated demand for the product following our launch,β said Dave Stack, president and chief executive officer of Pacira. βWe are encouraged by the positive response we have received following FDA approval of EXPAREL and our organization is focused on our commercial manufacturing processes. With the recent appointment of John Pratt to the newly created role of general manager for our San Diego manufacturing facility, we believe we have added leadership who will directly contribute to our ability to meet our goals. John has more than 35 years of experience in building and leading state-of-the art pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality control organizations including senior positions at Amylin and Novo Nordisk, and his expertise will be valuable as we execute our manufacturing strategy. We are very excited about EXPAREL and the role it can play in optimizing postsurgical pain management and look forward to bringing this product to the market.β
Taunia Markvicka, vice president, commercial at Pacira, added, βDuring the first quarter our sales force will work closely with our commercial and scientific affairs teams to achieve formulary approvals at our target hospitals. In line with our announced strategy, we have introduced multiple important educational initiatives, including preceptorship programs, and continued to work to implement opioid sparing protocols within several key institutions. We are also initiating our Phase 4 clinical programs that will provide healthcare professionals with hands-on experiences with the product. We believe all of these activities will help drive additional demand for EXPAREL as we continue to focus our promotional programs and investments to align the deployment of our resources with near-term revenue opportunities.β
