  • The first Digital Medicine, a drug/device product, combines Otsuka's ABILIFY® (aripiprazole) for serious mental illness, embedded with the Proteus® ingestible sensor in a single tablet to digitally record ingestion 1xbet 보너스 코드, with patient consent, share information with their healthcare professionals 1xbet 보너스 코드 caregivers
  • Otsuka 1xbet 보너스 코드 Proteus are pursuing a regulatory filing for a drug-device combination across multiple divisions of the FDA to support the unique system

(Otsuka) 1xbet 보너스 코드 Proteus Digital Health (Proteus) today announced that the United States Food 1xbet 보너스 코드 Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that the New Drug Application (NDA) for the combination product of ABILIFY® (aripiprazole) embedded with a Proteus® ingestible sensor in a single tablet is sufficiently complete to allow for a substantive review 1xbet 보너스 코드 is considered filed as of September 8, 2015.

This is the first time an FDA-approved medication (ABILIFY) has been combined 1xbet 보너스 코드 submitted for approval with a sensor within the medication tablet (the Proteus ingestible sensor) to measure actual medication-taking patterns 1xbet 보너스 코드 physiologic response. This objective information is communicated to the patient - 1xbet 보너스 코드 with the consent of the patient - to the patient's physician 1xbet 보너스 코드/or caregiver. Digital Medicines may enable improved patient medication adherence 1xbet 보너스 코드 better informed physician decision-making to tailor treatment to the patient's needs.

We look forward to continuing working with the FDA throughout the NDA review."

If approved by the FDA, healthcare professionals will have the ability to prescribe ABILIFY tablets with the Proteus ingestible sensor embedded in the tablet. This drug-device product can provide the patient with a treatment option to help manage symptoms while allowing the caregiver 1xbet 보너스 코드 healthcare professional to measure medication adherence 1xbet 보너스 코드 other patient metrics. This unique system is filed as an NDA, where the FDA Center for Devices 1xbet 보너스 코드 Radiological Health (CDRH)-cleared ingestible sensor from Proteus will be embedded at the point of manufacture with the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation 1xbet 보너스 코드 Research (CDER)-approved ABILIFY as a combination drug-device, communicating with the Proteus patch 1xbet 보너스 코드 associated medical software.

"Digital Medicines have the potential to move healthcare beyond the proven efficacy of a medicine to underst1xbet 보너스 코드 the real world effectiveness of a therapy for each individual," said 1xbet 보너스 코드rew Thompson, president 1xbet 보너스 코드 CEO of Proteus Digital Health.

This information is recorded 1xbet 보너스 코드 relayed to patients on a mobile phone or other Bluetooth-enabled device, 1xbet 보너스 코드 only with their consent, to their physician 1xbet 보너스 코드/or their caregivers. Patients view the information using a secure 1xbet 보너스 코드 local software application on their mobile phone or device. Physicians 1xbet 보너스 코드 caregivers view the data using secure web portals.
