Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2016.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Mechanism of action

Vildagliptin is a representative of the class of stimulators of the islet apparatus of the pancreas, selectively inhibits the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4).
Rapid and complete inhibition of DPP-4 activity (> 90%) causes both a basal and food-stimulated secretion of glucagon-like peptide type 1 (GLP-1) and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) from the intestine to enter the systemic blood stream throughout the day.
Increasing the concentration of GLP-1 and HIP, vildagliptin causes an increase in the sensitivity of ОІ-cells of the pancreas to glucose, which leads to an improvement in glucose-dependent insulin secretion.

Pharmacodynamics

When using vildagliptin in a dose of 50-100 mg / day in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes), there is an improvement in the function of ОІ-cells of the pancreas.
The degree of improvement in the function of the ОІ-cells depends on the degree of their initial damage; so in people without diabetes (with a normal concentration of glucose in the blood plasma), vildagliptin does not stimulate insulin secretion and does not reduce the concentration of glucose. Increasing the concentration of endogenous GLP-1, vildagliptin increases the sensitivity of ОІ-cells to glucose, which leads to an improvement in glucose-dependent regulation of glucagon secretion. Reducing the increased concentration of glucagon during meals, in turn, causes a decrease in insulin resistance.
The increase in the ratio of insulin / glucagon to the background of hyperglycemia, caused by an increase in the concentration of GLP-1 and HIP, causes a decrease in glucose production by the liver both during and after meals, which leads to a decrease in the concentration of glucose in the blood plasma.

In addition, against the background of the use of vildagliptin there is a decrease in the concentration of lipids in the blood plasma after ingestion, but this effect is not associated with its effect on GLP-1 or GIP and improvement in the function of islet cells of the pancreas.

It is known that an increase in the concentration of GLP-1 can lead to a slowdown in gastric emptying, however, against the background of the use of vildagliptin, this effect is not observed.

When using vildagliptin in 5795 patients with type 2 diabetes for 52 weeks, a significant long-term decrease in the concentration of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting blood glucose was noted in monotherapy or in combination with metformin, sulfonylurea, thiazolidinedione, or insulin for 52 weeks.

Using a combination of vildagliptin and metformin as an initial therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a dose-dependent decrease in HbA1c concentration was observed for 24 weeks compared to monotherapy with these drugs.
The incidence of hypoglycemia was minimal in both treatment groups.
When vildagliptin is used at a dose of 50 mg once a day for 6 months in patients with type 2 diabetes with impaired renal function (GFR> 30, <50 ml / min / 1.73 m 2) or severe (GFR <30 ml / min / 1.73 m 2 ), a clinically significant decrease in HbA1c concentration was observed compared with placebo.

When using vildagliptin 50 mg twice daily in combination with / without metformin and insulin (average dose 41 units / day), a decrease in HbA1c of 0.77% from the original mean of 8.8% was observed with a statistically significant difference from placebo of 0.72%.
The incidence of hypoglycemia in the vildagliptin group is comparable to that in the placebo group. When using vildagliptin 50 mg twice daily in combination with metformin (> 1500 mg / day) and glimepiride (> 4 mg / day), a statistically significant decrease in HbA1c was observed at 0.76% of the original mean of 8.8%.
PHARMACOKINETICS

Suction

When administered on an empty stomach, vildagliptin is rapidly absorbed, and its maximum concentration in the blood plasma (C max ) is reached after 1.75 hours after administration.
With simultaneous intake with food, the rate of absorption of vildagliptin decreases slightly: a decrease in C max by 19% and an increase in the time to reach 2.5 hours. However, eating does not affect the degree of absorption and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC).
Vildagliptin is rapidly absorbed, and its absolute bioavailability after oral administration is 85%.
C max and AUC in the therapeutic range of doses increase approximately in proportion to the dose.
Distribution

The degree of binding of vildagliptin to plasma proteins is low (9.3%).
Vildagliptin is distributed evenly between blood plasma and erythrocytes. The distribution of vildagliptin occurs, presumably, extravascularly, the volume of distribution in the equilibrium state after intravenous administration (Vss) is 71 liters.
Metabolism

The main way to remove vildagliptin is biotransformation.
In the human body, 69% of the dose of the drug undergoes biotransformation. The main metabolite - LAY151 (57% of the dose) is pharmacologically inactive and is a product of hydrolysis of the cyano component. About 4% of the dose of the drug is subjected to amide hydrolysis.
In pre-clinical studies, there is a positive effect of DPP-4 on the hydrolysis of vildagliptin.
Vildagliptin is metabolized without the participation of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. Vildagliptin is not a substrate of P450 isoenzymes (CYP), does not inhibit or induce cytochrome P450 isoenzymes.
Excretion

After taking the drug inside about 85% of the dose is excreted by the kidneys and 15% by the intestine.
Renal excretion of unchanged vildagliptin is 23%. With IV introduction, the mean half-life (T 1/2 ) reaches 2 h, the total plasma clearance and renal clearance of vildagliptin are 41 l / h and 13 l / h, respectively. T 1/2 after oral administration is about 3 hours, regardless of dose.
Pharmacokinetics in special cases

Sex, body mass index and ethnicity do not affect the pharmacokinetics of vildagliptin.

Patients with impaired hepatic function

In patients with impaired liver function of mild and moderate severity (6-9 points on the Child-Pugh scale) after a single application of the drug, a decrease in the bioavailability of vildagliptin by 20% and 8%, respectively.
In patients with severe hepatic dysfunction (10-12 points on the Child-Pugh scale), the bioavailability of vildagliptin is increased by 22%. Increasing or decreasing the maximum bioavailability of vildagliptin, not exceeding 30%, is not clinically significant. Correlations between the degree of severity of violations of the liver and the bioavailability of the drug is not revealed.
Patients with impaired renal function

In patients with impaired renal function of mild, moderate or severe AUC, vildagliptin increased in comparison with healthy volunteers by 1.4, 1.7 and 2 times, respectively.
AUC of the metabolite LAY151 increased in 1.6, 3.2, and 7.3 times, and the metabolite BQS867 - in 1.4, 2.7, and 7.3 times in patients with impaired renal function of mild, moderate and severe degrees, respectively. Limited data in patients with terminal stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) indicate that the parameters of this group are similar to those in patients with impaired renal function of severe severity. The concentration of metabolite LAY151 in patients with terminal stage CKD increased by 2-3 times compared with the concentration in patients with impaired renal function of severe degree.
When using the drug in patients with impaired renal function, dose adjustment may be required.

Excretion of vildagliptin in hemodialysis is limited (4 hours after a single dose of 3% with a duration of the procedure more than 3-4 hours).

Use in patients aged ≥65 years

The maximum increase in bioavailability of the drug by 32% (an increase of C max by 18%) in patients older than 70 years is not clinically significant and does not affect the inhibition of DPP-4.

Use in patients aged 18 years

Pharmacokinetic features of vildagliptin in children and adolescents under the age of 18 years have not been established.

The incidence of angioedema in the Galvus therapy was> 1/10000, <1/1000 (gradation was "rare") and was similar to that in the control group.
Most cases of angioedema have been observed with the use of the drug in combination with ACE inhibitors. In most cases, angioedema was of moderate severity and was resolved independently during the continuation of vildagliptin therapy.
Against the background of therapy with Galvus, there was rarely a violation of liver function (including hepatitis) of the asymptomatic course.
In most cases, these abnormalities and abnormalities of liver function parameters from the norm were resolved independently without complications after discontinuation of therapy with the drug.

In applying the drug Galvus 50 mg / day in combination with pioglitazone 45 mg of hypoglycemia were observed; vildagliptin group (at a dose of 50 mg 2 times a day) + pioglitazone (45 mg) indicated the development of hypoglycemia in 0.6% of cases and patients receiving placebo + pioglitazone 45 mg, - 1.9% of cases. In the group of the drug Galvus were observed for hypoglycemia severe. The average increase versus placebo in body weight in patients receiving Galvus drug dose of 50 mg of 1 or 2 times / day with pioglitazone was +0.1 or +1.3 kg kg respectively.
When adding Galvus drug dose of 50 mg of 1 or 2 times / day for pioglitazone in a dose of 45 mg / day incidence of peripheral edema was 8.2% and 7%, respectively (compared to 2.5% on pioglitazone monotherapy). However, if the initial combination therapy vildagliptin 50 mg 1 or 2 times / day with pioglitazone 45 mg / day development of peripheral edema was observed in 3.5% or 6.1% of patients, respectively (compared to 9.3% on pioglitazone monotherapy at a dose of 30 mg / day).

The patient should be warned that if any of the above instructions side effects are compounded, or if seen any other side effects not mentioned in the instructions, you should inform your doctor.
CONTRAINDICATIONS

- increased sensitivity of vildagliptin and any other components of the formulation;
- hereditary galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, glucose-galactose malabsorption;
- pregnancy, breastfeeding (because of lack of relevant data);
- type 1 diabetes;

- Chronic heart failure (CHF) IV functional class (FC) of the functional classification of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) (due to lack of clinical trial data on the use of vildagliptin in this patient group);
- Children up to age 18 years (effectiveness and safety of the drug has not been established).
Caution
is recommended with caution in drug Galvus in patients with acute pancreatitis history.
Since the experience with Galvus drug in patients with end-stage CKD on hemodialysis or undergoing hemodialysis is limited, it is recommended the drug be used with caution in these patients.
Since the data on the use of vildagliptin in patients with CHF NYHA class III classification is limited and inconclusive, it is advisable to use caution drug Galvus in patients in this category.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION

Galvus sufficient for use of these drugs in pregnant women do not have, in connection with which the drug is contraindicated during pregnancy.
In preclinical studies, reproductive toxicity when used in high doses, has been identified, the potential risk for humans is unknown.
The drug Galvus is contraindicated during breast-feeding because it is not known whether vildagliptin passes into breast milk in humans.
APPLICATION FOR FUNCTIONS OF THE LIVER

Since the experience of Galvusa patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (including end-stage renal failure on hemodialysis) is limited, the drug is not recommended for this group of patients.
APPLICATION FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE FUNCTION OF KIDNEYS

Galvus not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment, including patients with elevated liver enzymes (ALT or AST> 2.5 times the ULN).
APPLICATION FOR CHILDREN

The efficacy and safety of the drug in children and adolescents under 18 years of age has not been established.
APPLICATION IN ELDERLY PATIENTS

In elderly patients (≥65 years of age) is not required Galvusa correction mode.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

In preclinical studies, when used in doses 200 times higher than recommended for humans, the drug did not induce fertility disorders.
If desired insulin preparation Galvus used only in combination with insulin. The drug is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.
Heart failure

Since the data for vildagliptin use in patients with CHF III NYHA classification by FC (see. Table 1, below) are limited and do not permit a definitive conclusion, it is recommended to use caution Galvus drug in this category of patients.
Vildagliptin is not recommended to use in patients with heart failure NYHA IV FC for classification due to lack of clinical trial data on the use of vildagliptin in this patient group.
Table 1. NYHA functional status of patients with chronic heart failure (modification), NYHA, 1964
functional class (FC) Restriction of physical activity and clinical manifestations
I FC There are no limitations in physical activity. Normal physical activity does not cause pronounced fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath or palpitations.
II FC moderate limitation of physical activity. At rest, any pathological symptoms are absent. Normal physical activity causes weakness, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath and other symptoms.
III FC Marked limitation of physical activity. The patient feels comfortable only at rest, but the slightest physical activity lead to the appearance of weakness, palpitations, shortness of breath.
FC IV Inability to carry any load without causing discomfort. Symptoms of cardiac insufficiency are at rest, and are enhanced by any physical activity.
Dysfunction of the liver

Since the rare cases when applying vildagliptin observed increased activity of aminotransferases (usually without clinical manifestations), before applying Galvus preparation, as well as regularly during the first year of the drug (1 every 3 months), it is recommended to determine liver function. In identifying the increase of activity of transaminases should conduct follow-up study to confirm the results and thereafter to conduct regular measurements of biochemical parameters of liver function until their normalization. If excess of AST or ALT in 3 or more times the ULN confirmed repeated study drug is recommended to cancel.
With the development of jaundice or other signs of liver function abnormalities during treatment with Galvus therapy with the drug should be discontinued immediately. After normalization of liver function indicators drug treatment can not renew.
Hypoglycaemia

It is known that sulfonylureas may provoke the development of hypoglycemia. There is a risk of hypoglycemia, while the use of vildagliptin with sulfonylureas. If necessary, consider reducing the dose of sulfonylurea in order to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia.
Acute pancreatitis
Use of vildagliptin is associated with the risk of acute pancreatitis. It is necessary to inform the patient about the symptoms characteristic of acute pancreatitis. Suspected acute pancreatitis vildagliptin should be abolished. Should not reopen vildagliptin therapy if acute pancreatitis was confirmed. In patients with acute pancreatitis history vildagliptin should be used with caution.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

Studies on the ability to influence drug Galvus to drive vehicles or operate machinery have not been conducted. With the development of vertigo on the background of the drug patients should not drive vehicles or operate machinery.
OVERDOSE

Vildagliptin is well tolerated in doses up to 200 mg / day.
In applying the drug at a dose of 400 mg / day may experience muscle pain, rarely - light and transient paresthesia, fever, swelling and transient increase in lipase activity (more than 2 times ULN). With increasing doses of vildagliptin and 600 mg / day may develop swelling of limbs, paresthesia and accompanied by increase of CPK activity, C-reactive protein and myoglobin, AST activity. All symptoms of overdose and changes in laboratory parameters reversible upon discontinuation of the drug.
Excretion of the drug from the body by dialysis unlikely. However, the main metabolite of the hydrolysis of vildagliptin (LAY151) can be removed from the body by hemodialysis.
DRUG INTERACTION

Vildagliptin has a low potential for drug interactions.
Since vildagliptin is not a substrate of cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP), and also did not inhibit or induce these enzymes vildagliptin interaction with drugs that are substrates, inhibitors or inducers of P450 (CYP), it is unlikely. With simultaneous application of vildagliptin also affects the rate of metabolism of drugs that are substrates of enzymes: CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 / 5. No clinically significant interaction with vildagliptin drugs most frequently used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (glibenclamide, pioglitazone, metformin) or having a narrow therapeutic range (amlodipine, digoxin, ramipril, simvastatin, valsartan, warfarin) is not established.
Thiazides, corticosteroids, hormones, thyroid medications, sympathomimetics may reduce the hypoglycaemic effect of vildagliptin, as well as other oral antidiabetic drugs.
The rate of angioedema was higher, while the application of vildagliptin with ACE inhibitors, in this case was similar to that in the control group. In most cases, angioedema was of moderate severity and resolved on their own during the continuation of vildagliptin therapy.
