Safety and Efficacy of Sublingual Apomorphine in Parkinson's Patients with or without Concomitant Dopamine Agonists Use (MDS Congress 2024) - "Objective: This post-hoc analysis of Study CTH-301 aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of apomorphine sublingual film (SL-APO) in patients with Parkinson's disease with or without concurrent dopamine agonists (DA) use at baseline... While SL-APO was found to be better tolerated in DA users, it demonstrated efficacy in both DA and non-DA users."

Oropharyngeal Adverse Events in Parkinson's Patients with Motor Fluctuations Treated with Apomorphine Sublingual Film (MDS Congress 2024) - "Oropharyngeal TEAEs, including those leading to discontinuation, were mostly mild or moderate and predominantly occurred within the first few months of SL-APO initiation."

Baseline Variables Associated with Apomorphine Sublingual Film Retention (MDS Congress 2024) - "Levodopa dose and intakes, morning akinesia, previous SL-APO exposure and concomitant dopamine agonists use might influence retention. These results may help identify patients more likely to remain on SL-APO over the long term."

Clinical trial evaluating apomorphine oromucosal solution in Parkinson's disease patients. (PubMed, Clin Transl Sci) - "This two-part clinical study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and dose proportionality of a novel apomorphine hydrochloride oromucosal solution, as well as its relative bioavailability to subcutaneous apomorphine injection and apomorphine sublingual film...This was comparable to exposure reached after 2 mg subcutaneous apomorphine and approximately half of the exposure observed with 30 mg sublingual apomorphine. In summary, clinically relevant plasma concentrations could be reached in PD patients without tolerability issues."

Importance of time to ON versus wearing OFF in total daily OFF time experienced by patients with Parkinson's disease. (PubMed, Parkinsonism Relat Disord) - "Hence, most treatment regimens focus on reducing wearing OFF by changing LD dosing/formulations and/or using "ON-extenders" (eg, catechol-o-methyltransferase inhibitors, monoamine oxidase-B inhibitors, extended-release amantadine, and adenosine A receptor antagonists). However, the literature describing approved treatments for PD that has focused on delays in time to ON is sparse and suggests this type of OFF may comprise more than twice the amount of total daily OFF time as wearing OFF. Here, we advocate for the importance of measuring and adequately addressing delays in time to ON and build support for the consistent inclusion of the time to ON measurement in future clinical trials."

Kynmobi to be discontinued in US and Canada due to limited use (BioNews) - "Kynmobi (apomorphine hydrochloride), an under-the-tongue therapy approved to help manage off episodes in Parkinson’s disease, is being discontinued in the U.S. as of June 30....Kynmobi is also expected be discontinued in Canada by Sept. 30, according to Drug Shortages Canada. The announcement comes just a few months after Sunovion closed its patient support program for the therapy, called Kynmobi Kynnect. The program ended at the end of 2022, stated a letter sent to healthcare providers."

(PubMed, Neurodegener Dis Manag) - "Aim: Evaluate timing of motor improvement with carbidopa/levodopa (CD/LD) and apomorphine sublingual film (SL-APO) in patients with Parkinson's disease and OFF episodes. Following an optimized SL-APO dose, mean improvements in MDS-UPDRS-III scores were -13.9 and -22.9, and FULL ON was achieved by 34.7 and 81.0% of patients. Concomitant administration of SL-APO with carbidopa/levodopa may be useful for delayed ON."

Should “on-demand“ treatments for Parkinson’s disease OFF episodes be used earlier? (PubMed, Clin Park Relat Disord) - "Three "on-demand" treatments are currently available in the US as follows: subcutaneous apomorphine, levodopa inhalation powder, and sublingual apomorphine...Novel "on-demand" treatments bypass the gut and can improve OFF symptoms more rapidly and reliably than oral levodopa. With the emergence of novel "on-demand" treatments, we conclude that a shift in treatment paradigm to the earlier, complementary use of these medications be considered."
