USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.


8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. 8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryThere are no adequate and well-controlled studies of IHEEZO TM use in pregnant women to inform drug associated risk. There are no animal reproduction studies for chloroprocaine. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of chloroprocaine in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for IHEEZO TM and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from IHEEZO TM. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of IHEEZO TM have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of IHEEZO TM have been observed between elderly and younger patients.

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.


6 ADVERSE REACTIONS. Most common adverse reaction is mydriasis (approximately 25%) 6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Harrow at 844.446.6979 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.The data described below reflect 201 patients undergoing various surgical ocular procedures in two placebo-controlled trials (Study and Study 2). Patients in Study were randomized to receive single instillation of drops of IHEEZO TM or placebo. Patients in Study were randomized to receive single or multiple instillations of 1, or 3+3 drops of IHEEZO TM or placebo. The most common adverse reactions in these studies, (incidence greater than or equal to 5%) following IHEEZO TM administration were mydriasis, conjunctival hyperemia and eye irritation.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. 12.1 Mechanism of ActionChloroprocaine, like other local anesthetics, blocks the generation and the conduction of nerve impulses, presumably by increasing the threshold for electrical excitation in the nerve, by slowing the propagation of the nerve impulse, and by reducing the rate of rise of the action potential. In general, the progression of anesthesia is related to the diameter, myelination, and conduction velocity of affected nerve fibers. Clinically, the order of loss of nerve function is as follows: (1) pain, (2) temperature, (3) touch, (4) proprioception, and (5) skeletal muscle tone.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The systemic exposure to chloroprocaine following topical ocular administration of IHEEZO TM has not been studied. EliminationMetabolismChloroprocaine is metabolized by plasma pseudocholinesterases and nonspecific esterases in ocular tissues. Chloroprocaine is rapidly metabolized in plasma by hydrolysis of the ester linkage by pseudocholinesterase. The hydrolysis of chloroprocaine results in the production of ss-diethylaminoethanol and 2-chloro-4-aminobenzoic acid, which inhibits the action of the sulfonamides.ExcretionChloroprocaine plasma half-life in vitro is approximately 25 seconds in adults and approximately 43 seconds in neonates. The kidney is the main excretory organ for most local anesthetics and their metabolites. Urinary excretion is affected by urinary perfusion and factors affecting urinary pH.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1 Study and 2. Study (NCT04779606) and Study (NCT04753710) were randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled studies conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and local tolerability of IHEEZO TM in 145 healthy volunteers. In Study 1, 85 healthy male and female were randomized in 4:1 ratio to receive single ocular instillation of IHEEZO TM (N=68) or placebo (N=17). The double blinded treatment included IHEEZO TM or placebo dose of drops instilled at minute +- 15 seconds intervals in the right eye of each volunteer. The median age was 39 years (range 19 to 55 years); 59% female and 41% male. In Study 2, 60 healthy male and female were randomized (40:20) to receive single or multiple ocular instillations of IHEEZO TM dose of drops in the right eye. The median age was 25 years (range 18 to 59 years); 54% female ad 46% male. The efficacy in Study and was determined by proportion of patients achieving full conjunctival anesthesia evaluated by conjunctival pinching, minutes after administration.Efficacy results of Study 1The proportion of subjects with successful anesthesia was 90% in IHEEZO TM group and 12% in the placebo group (p<0.01). The median time for the IHEEZO TM group achieving anesthesia was 0.67 minutes. The median duration of anesthesia was 14.3 minutes. Efficacy results of Study 2The proportion of subjects with successful anesthesia was 95% in the IHEEZO TM group and 20% in the placebo group (p<0.01). The median time for the IHEEZO TM group achieving anesthesia was 0.67 minutes. The median duration of anesthesia was 19.3 minutes. 14.2 Study 3. Study (NCT04685538) was randomized, prospective, multi-center, active-controlled, observer-masked study conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IHEEZO TM (N=166) versus tetracaine ophthalmic solution 0.5% (N=172) in patients undergoing cataract surgery. The primary endpoint was defined as the proportion of patients in each treatment group gaining successful anesthesia without any supplementation. On average, patients needed 1-1.5 minutes to obtain sufficient anesthesia to successfully perform the surgical procedure which lasted on average 22 minutes.No patient treated with IHEEZO TM required supplemental treatment to complete the intended surgical procedure.
