Leniolisib, sold under the brand name Joenja, is a medication used to treat activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome (APDS).[1] It is used in people at least 12 years old.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include headache, sinusitis, and atopic dermatitis.[1] Use in pregnancy or breastfeeding may harm the baby.[1] It should not be used in people with significant liver problems.[1] It is a kinase inhibitor.[1]

Leniolisib was approved for medical use in the United States in 2023.[1] It received an orphan medication designation in Europe in 2020.[2] In the United States it costs about 550,000 USD per year as of 2023.[3] It is the first medication for APDS.[4]

Medical uses

Leniolisib is indicated for the treatment of activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome (activated PI3K delta syndrome) in people twelve years of age and older.[1][4]

Activated PI3K delta syndrome is caused by mutations in either of two genes, PIK3CD or PIK3R1, that regulate the maturation of white blood cells, especially B cells and T cells.[4] This leads to a decrease in immune cells, which makes it difficult for people with activated PI3K delta syndrome to fight off bacterial and viral infections.[4]

Dosage

In those who weight more than 45 kg the dose is 70 mg twice per day.[1]

Side effects

The most common side effects were headache, sinusitis, and atopic dermatitis.[1]

Mechanism of action

Leniolisib is a selective phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor (PI3Kδ inhibitor), which means it blocks a form of the protein called phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) that is overactive in activated PI3K delta syndrome. By inhibiting PI3Kδ, leniolisib helps normalize immune function as measured by a significant increase in number of immune response generating B cells and reduction in size of lymph nodes.[4]

History

Leniolisib was developed by Novartis and subsequently licensed to Pharming Group, a Dutch biotechnology company, in 2019.[5]

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluated the efficacy of leniolisib in the placebo-controlled portion of Study 2201 (NCT02435173), a twelve‑week blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 31 participants twelve years of age and older with confirmed APDS-associated genetic PI3Kδ mutation, with a documented variant in either PIK3CD or PIK3R1.[4]

The FDA granted the application for leniolisib orphan drug, priority review, and rare pediatric disease designations.[4]

Society and culture

Leniolisib is the INN.[6][7]
