Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite...Really
Bed bugs used to be a problem only in devel-
oping countries. However, they have been
spreading rapidly in parts of the US, Canada,
UK, and other developed countries. Bed bug
infestations can occur in houses, dormitories,
apartments, homeless shelters, hotels, cruise
ships, buses, and trains.
Bed bugs are a public health pest, but do not
spread disease. The presence of bed bugs
does not mean a room is not clean; bed bugs
have been found in five-star hotels and resorts.
Adult bed bugs are long and brown about the
size of an apple seed with a flat, oval-shaped
body. Young bed bugs are smaller and translu-
cent or whitish yellow color. Bed bug eggs are
about the size of a pinhead and pearl-white in
color.
When bed bugs bite...
Bed bug bites can look like mosquito bites,
rashes, or hives. Itching, welts, or swelling
usually occur one to several days after the
initial bite. Some people do not react to the
bites and do not develop any signs of bites.
To detect bed bugs:
Bed bugs generally avoid light. They hide
during the day and feed at night. Bed bugs
deposit their eggs in crevices of walls, floors,
bedding, and furniture.
A sweet, musty odor in sleeping areas may
indicate a heavy bed bug infestation. Look

to reduce bed bug hiding places.
Dry bedding and clothing at high tempera-
tures for 30 minutes to kill bed bugs.
Contact a pest management professional if
the bed bug infestation persists.
To treat bed bug bites:
Wash bites with soap and water to prevent
infection and decrease itching.
Reduce itching with over-the-counter medi-
cations—oral antihistamines or topical anti-
histamine or corticosteroid creams
Bacterial infections can occur due to exces-
sive scratching and broken skin. Talk to
your medical provider if you notice blisters,
swollen red skin, or oozing sores.

Varubi™ (rolapitant) is a promising new NK-1 receptor antagonist for reducing the incidence of chemotherapy-induced nausea
and vomiting (CINV) in the delayed phase of the at-risk period (24-120 hours after chemotherapy).1-4 Its long half-life and dura-
tion of action allow for a single oral dose (along with concomitant antiemetic administration) to prevent CINV during the entire at
-risk period. Unlike other NK-1 antagonists, rolapitant does not appear to exhibit strong inductive or inhibitory effects on
CYP3A4, which significantly reduces its potential for interactions with many other medications. Rolapitant is a safe, effective
alternative for patients undergoing moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy.1-4
Rolapitant disrupts the signaling pathway responsible for causing delayed phase CINV. Co-administration of rolapitant with oth-
er antiemetics provides complete prophylaxis for the entire 120-hour CINV at-risk period.1-4
One oral dose of rolapitant 180 mg (2 tablets) should be administered 1 to 2 hours prior to the start of moderately or highly emeto-
genic chemotherapy. Dexamethasone and a 5-HT3 antagonist should be administered concomitantly with rolapitant.1-4
MEC/AC Trial: Rolapitant was more likely to result in a complete response than placebo in cancer patients on moderately
emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) regimens (including anthracycline and cyclophosphamide, AC, which are now classified as
highly emetogenic).2 The rolapitant group received a single dose of rolapitant, while the control group received an identical pla-
cebo. Both groups also received granisetron and dexamethasone in accordance with recommendations for CINV prophylaxis. A
complete response (defined as no vomiting or use of rescue medication) occurred in significantly more rolapitant patients than
placebo patients (71.3% vs. 61.6%; p=0.0002).2
The MEC/AC study may not be generalizable to other populations because the study population was mostly female. Use of pa-
tient-reported events may have affected study results due to potential reporting bias.2
HEC-1/HEC-2 Trials: Rolapitant was also more effective than placebo in achieving delayed phase CINV response in cancer
patients receiving cisplatin-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC).3 In two similar studies, patients received either rolapi-
tant or placebo in addition to appropriate doses of granisetron and dexamethasone for CINV prophylaxis. Significantly more pa-
tients achieved a complete response during the delayed phase in the rolapitant group than in the control group in both HEC trials.
Pooled analysis of both HEC trials demonstrated a better response in rolapitant patients compared to placebo patients (71% vs.
60%; p = 0.0001).3
The study populations in both HEC trials were primarily male, which may limit the generalizability of their results. Additionally,
the primary endpoint was tracked by patients using a using a daily journal, which may have biased the results.3
The rolapitant trials did not compare rolapitant to other available NK-1 antagonists, so no con-
clusions can be drawn regarding the comparative efficacy of individual NK-1 antagonists for
the treatment of CINV.2,3 Studies with active comparator drugs and more diverse patient popu-
lations are needed to fully determine the efficacy of rolapitant.

Corlanor® (ivabradine) is new option in the
cardiologist’s toolkit. Ivabradine demon-
strated morbidity and mortality reductions
in patients with heart failure, but not in pa-
tients with a heart rate < 70 beats per minute
(BPM) or an ejection fraction > 40%.2
Ivabradine was used in combination with
beta-blockers in 83-90% of subjects in all
major studies. Most studied patients were
on guideline-directed therapy in conjunction
with ivabradine.3-5
Ivabradine is a negative chronotrope and
inhibits hyperpolarization-activated cyclic
nucleotide-gated channels (HCN), ultimate-
ly regulating HR via the If current or ‘funny’
current.2 The most prominent effects of
ivabradine are observed within the SA node,
as well as prolongation of the AH and PR
intervals. QT prolongation via rate correc-
tion has not occurred in clinical trials, de-
spite an increase in the uncorrected QT in-
terval. Ivabradine does not affect repolariza-
tion. Several factors influence therapeutic
response to ivabradine, including ivabradine
dose and the patient’s baseline resting HR.
In two clinical trials (BEAUTIFUL and
SHIFT), patients with a higher baseline HR
had a more profound therapeutic response
than patients with a lower HR.2-4
SHIFT:
Ivabradine effectively treated patients with
heart failure in the SHIFT study, a 32-
month, multi-center, randomized, double-
blind, placebo-controlled trial.3 Included
patients had an ejection fraction < 35%, a
resting heart rate (HR) > 70 BPM in normal
sinus rhythm, and at least one hospital ad-
mission for heart failure within the previous
year. All patients were also on background
therapy for heart failure. Ivabradine was
started at 5 mg twice daily, with dose titra-
tion based on HR response (dose reduction
for HR < 50 BPM and dose increase for HR
> 60 BPM).3
Patients on ivabradine had lower cardiovas-
cular mortality and fewer hospital admis-
sions due to heart failure (24%) compared to
patients on placebo (29%). Heart failure
deaths were less common in the ivabradine
group (3% vs. 5%). All-cause hospital ad-
missions were also lower in the ivabradine
group (38% vs. 42%).Excluding bradycar-
Corlanor® (Ivabradine): A Funny Tool for Heart Failure
dia, few patients in the ivabra-
dine group experienced seri-
ous adverse events and few
withdrew from the study due
to adverse reactions.3
The results of this study are
applicable only to patients in
normal sinus rhythm with a
HR of 70 BPM. Because
patients with atrial fibrillation
and flutter were excluded from the study
and few geriatric patients were included,
the data are not applicable to those popu-
lations. Because ivabradine was used in
conjunction with beta-blockers, the ef-
fect of ivabradine monotherapy is un-
known. In addition, optimal doses of
guideline-directed therapy were often not
achieved, so the efficacy of ivabradine
under those conditions cannot be extrap-
olated from the results of the SHIFT
study.3
BEAUTIFUL:
Ivabradine treatment did not improve
morbidity/mortality in the BEAUTIFUL
trial, a 24-month, multicenter, random-
ized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
study.4 However, re-analysis of patients
with a HR > 70 BPM revealed a reduc-
tion in morbidity endpoints with ivabra-
dine treatment. Of nearly 11,000 enrolled
patients, 74-94% currently used beta-
blockers and other guideline-directed
therapies. Ivabradine starting dose was 5
mg twice daily, which was then titrated
based on HR response.4
Rates of cardiovascular death and hospi-
talization due to myocardial infarction or
heart failure were similar between the
ivabradine and placebo groups. Patients
with a resting HR > 70 BPM had a sig-
nificant reduction in coronary revascu-
larization when treated with ivabradine
(2.8% vs. 4.0%). Hospitalizations due to
myocardial infarction or unstable angina
were also reduced with ivabradine treat-
ment when compared to placebo.4
Limitations of the study included con-
comitant use of beta-blockers, which
prevents the determination of the mortal-
ity and morbidity effects of ivabradine
alone. Exclusion of patients not in nor-
mal sinus rhythm, patients with heart
failure or anginal-related hospitaliza-
tions in the previous three months, and
patients younger than 55 years of age
means that the study results may not be
generalizable to patients in these popu-
lations.4
Ivabradine did not improve cardiovas-
cular morbidity or mortality in the SIG-
NIFY 42-month trial.5 Initial ivabra-
dine doses were higher in this study;
patients were started on 7.5 mg twice
daily (5 mg twice daily for patients ≥
75 years). Dose titration was based on
heart rate as in the SHIFT and BEAU-
TIFUL trials. Limitations were similar
to the other studies and included the
use of concomitant beta-blockers in
83.1% of patients, exclusion of patients
with sinus arrhythmias, and inclusion
of patients ≥ 55 years of age.5
During clinical trials, the treatment
groups experienced few adverse ef-
fects, although bradycardia occurred in
10% of patients.2 With 80-90% of pa-
tients taking concurrent beta-blockers
in conjunction to ivabradine, bradycar-
dia was expected.3-5 Due to potential
inhibition of the retinal IH current, some
patients may develop phosphenes
(temporary increased brightness within
select areas of the visual field).2 Visual
changes, hypersensitivity reactions,
hypotension, and angioedema have
been reported in post-marketing sur-
veillance.2
Ivabradine metabolism is mostly
through CYP3A4, so drug interactions
Continued on Page 5
Page 6
may occur. Concurrent use of CYP3A4 in-
hibitors can result in bradycardia and inap-
propriate conduction. Ivabradine dose does
not need to be adjusted for creatinine clear-
ance of 15-60 mL/min or mild to moderate
hepatic impairment. However, severe hepat-
ic impairment (Childs-Pugh C) is a contrain-
dication to use of ivabradine.2
Additional studies are warranted to deter-
mine the morbidity and mortality data of
ivabradine without concomitant beta-blocker
therapy and in patients with dysrhythmias.

Addyi™ (flibanserin)—”The Female Viagra®”?
Addyi™ (flibanserin), deemed “the
female Viagra®”, is a new female libi-
do drug.1 However, filbanserin’s nick-
name is a misnomer. Unlike Viagra®,
which treats a physical sexual dysfunc-
tion with as needed administration,
filbanserin treats a psychological cause
of low libido and requires chronic ad-
ministration.2
Filbanserin is indicated for the treat-
ment of hypoactive sexual desire disor-
der (HSDD) in premenopausal wom-
en.2 HSDD is characterized by a lack
of sexual desire that cannot be ac-
counted for by a medication, relation-
ship status, or physical or psychologi-
cal dysfunction. Filbanserin’s mecha-
nism of action for increasing libido is
unknown. It is mainly a 5-HT1A re-
ceptor agonist and 5-HT2A receptor
antagonist. It is also a moderate antag-
onist for 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, and dopa-
mine D4 receptors.2
Filbanserin improved sexual desire
compared to placebo in one study.
Premenopausal women with HSDD
who were in heterosexual monoga-
mous relationships were treated with
either filbanserin or placebo for 24
weeks. Patients on filbanserin had an
average of one more satisfying sexual
encounters per month compared to
patients on placebo (p<0.0001). Dis-
tress due to low libido was also low-
ered with use of filbanserin. The patient-
reported subjective data may have biased
the results of this study. In addition, the
clinical significance of the improvements
seen in patients on filbanserin has been
questioned.3
Filbanserin use was associated with sys-
tolic hypotension when administered con-
comitantly with alchohol. Systolic blood
pressure decreased by up to 54 mmHg in
male and female patients taking two
glasses of wine with filbanserin.4 There-
fore, patients are advised to abstain from
alcohol consumption to reduce the risk of
severe hypotension and syncope.2,4
Somnolence, nausea, and dizziness were
the most common side effects reported
during the 3 filbanserin clinical trials
which included 3009 subjects. These side
effects are all consistent with filbanserin’s
mechanism of action.2,3 Filbanserin is
only available through a REMS pro-
gram.2,4
