Postpartum Depression Marketed Therapies

  • ZURZUVAE (zuranolone) : Sage Therapeutics/Biogen

Zuranolone (SAGE-217) is an investigational, oral, novel medicine in development for postpartum depression (PPD). It is given once daily, a 2-week therapy neuroactive steroid (NAS) GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM) specifically designed to relieve several depression disorders, including PPD, major depressive disorder (MDD), and treatment-resistant depression. The GABA system is the major inhibitory signaling pathway of the brain, and the central nervous system (CNS) significantly regulates CNS function. SAGE-217 has been optimized for selectivity to synaptic and extrasynaptic type a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptors and a pharmacokinetic profile for daily oral dosing.

  • ZULRESSO: Sage Therapeutics

ZULRESSO is a proprietary IV formulation of brexanolone. Brexanolone is chemically identical to allopregnanolone, a naturally occurring neuroactive steroid that acts as a positive allosteric modulator of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors indicated for treating PPD in adults. Brexanolone is available to patients only through a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program and must be administered at a certified healthcare facility. In addition, patients must be monitored continuously during the drug infusion due to the risk of serious side effects. Notably, ZULRESSO (brexanolone) is the first drug approved by the US FDA specifically for PPD in adults.

Postpartum Depression Emerging Therapies

  • Ganaxolone: Marinus Pharmaceuticals

Ganaxolone (CCD-1042) is a lead clinical-stage drug candidate that brings a GABAA receptor modulating mechanism and an extensive safety database with exhibited anti-epileptic (antiseizure), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and anti-depressive activity in development by Marinus Pharmaceuticals. It is being developed in three different dosage forms (IV, capsule, and liquid) to maximize therapeutic reach to adult and pediatric patients in acute and chronic care settings with severe PPD. Unlike benzodiazepines, ganaxolone exhibits antiseizure and anti-anxiety activity via its effects on synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA receptors. Ganaxolone has been designed with an added methyl group that prevents back conversion to an active steroid, which unlocks ganaxolone’s potential for chronic use. In preclinical studies, ganaxolone exhibited potency and efficacy comparable to allopregnanolone.

Postpartum Depression Market Outlook

Antidepressants, such as Abilify (aripiprazole), Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride), Spravato (esketamine), Prozac (fluoxetine capsules), Celexa (citalopram hydrobromide), Luvox CR (Fluvoxamine Maleate), and Paxil CR (paroxetine) form the mainstay in the Postpartum Depression treatment. Although these drugs are approved for treating depression-related disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), treatment-resistant depression (TRD), etc., they are being used as off-label drugs for the treatment of PPD. The type of medication prescribed by the doctors largely depends on the set of symptoms, severity and the specific type of PPD the patient is suffering from. The primary concern about antidepressants is the uncertainty in the outcomes and their side effects on new born due to breastfeeding. Though antidepressants are not necessarily a permanent cure for PPD, they are an important aspect of managing depression symptoms and restoring quality of life.

Postpartum Depression Treatment Landscape

 

Antidepressant medications, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and interpersonal therapy are effective in treating Postpartum Depression.
