RESUMEN
This study evaluated pregnancy outcomes in patients with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or multiple sclerosis and in healthy volunteers treated with ozanimod. There was no increased incidence of fetal abnormalities or adverse pregnancy outcomes with ozanimod exposure during early pregnancy.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors can interact with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)/serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). There is clinical interest surrounding use of ozanimod with SSRIs/SNRIs because the major metabolites of ozanimod are weak inhibitors of MAO-B in vitro. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) potentially related to serotonin accumulation (SA) during concomitant ozanimod and SSRI/SNRI use by performing analyses of data from an open-label, oral ozanimod 0.92 mg trial (DAYBREAK; NCT02576717). METHODS: SA narrow (serotonin syndrome, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and hyperthermia malignant) and broad (terms potentially associated with SA) MedDRA v24.0 searches were performed using TEAE data from participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis who entered DAYBREAK from phase 3 studies (cutoff February 1, 2022). Incidences of TEAEs matching terms from each search were stratified by SSRI/SNRI use. RESULTS: Of 2257 DAYBREAK participants, 274 (12.1%) used an SSRI/SNRI. No participants had TEAEs matching the SA narrow search terms. There was no significant difference in the percentage of participants with ⩾1 TEAE matching the SA broad search for those on versus off SSRIs/SNRIs (on: 12.4%, n = 34/274; off: 15.6%, n = 310/1982, nominal p = 0.1630). CONCLUSION: MedDRA searches showed no increase in TEAEs potentially associated with SA with concomitant SSRI/SNRI and ozanimod use.
