In randomized, placebo-controlled trials, 184 ALS patients were administered RADICAVA 60 mg in treatment cycles for months. The population consisted of Japanese patients who had median age of 60 years (range 29-75) and were 59% male. Most (93%) of these patients were living independently at the time of screening.Most Common Adverse Reactions Observed During Clinical StudiesTable lists the adverse reactions that occurred in >= 2% of patients in the RADICAVA-treated group and that occurred at least 2% more frequently than in the placebo-treated group in randomized placebo-controlled ALS trials. The most common adverse reactions that occurred in >=10% of RADICAVA-treated patients were contusion, gait disturbance, and headache.Table 1: Adverse Reactions from Pooled Placebo-Controlled Trialsa that Occurred in >= 2% of RADICAVA-Treated Patients and >= 2% More Frequently than in Placebo PatientsAdverse ReactionRADICAVA(N=184)%Placebo(N=184)%Contusion159Gait disturbance139Headache106Dermatitis85Eczema74Respiratory failure, respiratory disorder, hypoxia64Glycosuria42Tinea infection42 Pooled placebo-controlled studies include two additional studies with 231 additional patients, all using the same treatment regimen [see Clinical Studies (14)]..

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis. The carcinogenic potential of edaravone has not been adequately assessed. Mutagenesis. Edaravone was negative in in vitro (bacterial reverse mutation and Chinese hamster lung chromosomal aberration) and in vivo (mouse micronucleus) assays. Impairment of Fertility Intravenous administration of edaravone (0, 3, 20, or 200 mg/kg) prior to and throughout mating in males and females and continuing in females to gestation day had no effect on fertility; however, disruption of the estrus cycle and mating behavior was observed at the highest dose tested. No effects on reproductive function were observed at the lower doses, which are up to times the RHD of 60 mg, on body surface area (mg/m2) basis.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action The mechanism by which RADICAVA exerts its therapeutic effect in patients with ALS is unknown. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Cardiac ElectrophysiologyAt dose times the recommended dose, RADICAVA does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics RADICAVA is administered by IV infusion. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of edaravone was reached by the end of infusion. There was trend of more than dose-proportional increase in area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and Cmax of edaravone. With multiple-dose administration, edaravone does not accumulate in plasma.. Distribution. Edaravone is bound to human serum proteins (92%), mainly to albumin, with no concentration dependence in the range of 0.1 to 50 micromol/L.. Elimination. The mean terminal elimination half-life of edaravone is 4.5 to hours. The half-lives of its metabolites are to 2.8 hours.. Metabolism Edaravone is metabolized to sulfate conjugate and glucuronide conjugate, which are not pharmacologically active. The glucuronide conjugation of edaravone involves multiple uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms (UGT1A6, UGT1A9, UGT2B7, and UGT2B17) in the liver and kidney. In human plasma, edaravone is mainly detected as the sulfate conjugate, which is presumed to be formed by sulfotransferases.. Excretion In Japanese and Caucasian healthy volunteer studies, edaravone was excreted mainly in the urine as its glucuronide conjugate form (70-90% of the dose). Approximately 5-10% of the dose was recovered in the urine as sulfate conjugate, and only 1% of the dose or less was recovered in the urine as unchanged form. In vitro studies suggest that sulfate conjugate of edaravone is hydrolyzed back to edaravone, which is then converted to the glucuronide conjugate in the human kidney before excretion into the urine. Specific Populations. Geriatric Patients No age effect on edaravone pharmacokinetics has been found [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5) ].. Patients with Renal Impairment Following single IV infusion of 30 mg edaravone (half the recommended dosage) over 60 minutes, mean Cmax and AUC0- of unchanged edaravone were 1.15 and 1.20-fold greater in the subjects with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73m2), and were 1.25 and 1.29-fold greater in the subjects with moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73m2) when compared to subjects with normal renal function, respectively. These changes in exposures are not considered to be clinically significant and therefore no dosage adjustments are necessary in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. The effects of severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of edaravone have not been studied.. Patients with Hepatic Impairment Following single IV infusion of 30 mg edaravone (half the recommended dosage) over 60 minutes, mean Cmax and AUC0- of unchanged edaravone were 1.20 and 1.07-fold greater in the subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score or 6), were 1.24 and 1.14-fold greater in the subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score to 9), and were 1.20 and 1.19-fold greater in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 10 to 14) when compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, respectively. These changes in exposures are not considered to be clinically significant and therefore no dosage adjustments are necessary in patients with hepatic impairment.. Male and Female Patients No gender effect on edaravone pharmacokinetics has been found.. Racial or Ethnic Groups There were no significant racial differences in Cmax and AUC of edaravone between Japanese and Caucasian subjects.. Drug Interaction Studies The pharmacokinetics of edaravone is not expected to be significantly affected by inhibitors of CYP enzymes, UGTs, or major transporters. In vitro studies demonstrated that, at clinical dose, edaravone and its metabolites are not expected to significantly inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4), UGT1A1, UGT2B7, or transporters (P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, and OCT2) in humans. Edaravone and its metabolites are not expected to induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4 at the clinical dose level of RADICAVA.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of RADICAVA for the treatment of ALS was established in 6-month, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study conducted in Japanese patients with ALS who were living independently and met the following criteria at screening: 1.Functionality retained most activities of daily living (defined as scores of points or better on each individual text of the ALS Functional Rating Scale Revised [ALSFRS-R; described below])2.Normal respiratory function (defined as percent-predicted forced vital capacity values of [%FVC] >= 80%)3.Definite or Probable ALS based on El Escorial revised criteria4.Disease duration of years or less The study enrolled 69 patients in the RADICAVA arm and 68 in the placebo arm. Baseline characteristics were similar between these groups, with over 90% of patients in each group being treated with riluzole. RADICAVA was administered as an intravenous infusion of 60 mg given over 60 minute period according to the following schedule: oAn initial treatment cycle with daily dosing for 14 days, followed by 14-day drug-free period (Cycle 1)oSubsequent treatment cycles with daily dosing for 10 days out of 14-day periods, followed by 14-day drug-free periods (Cycles 2-6). The primary efficacy endpoint was comparison of the change between treatment arms in the ALSFRS-R total scores from baseline to Week 24. The ALSFRS-R scale consists of 12 questions that evaluate the fine motor, gross motor, bulbar, and respiratory function of patients with ALS (speech, salivation, swallowing, handwriting, cutting food, dressing/hygiene, turning in bed, walking, climbing stairs, dyspnea, orthopnea, and respiratory insufficiency). Each text is scored from 0-4, with higher scores representing greater functional ability. The decline in ALSFRS-R scores from baseline was significantly less in the RADICAVA-treated patients as compared to placebo (see Table 2). The distribution of change in ALSFRS-R scores from baseline to Week 24 by percent of patients is shown in Figure 1.Table 2: Analysis of Change from Baseline to Week 24 in ALSFRS-R ScoresTreatmentChange from BaselineLS Mean +- SE (95% CI)Treatment Difference (RADICAVA placebo [95% CI])p-valueRADICAVA 60mg-5.01+-0.642.49 (0.99, 3.98)0.0013Placebo-7.50+-0.66Figure 1: Distribution of Change from Baseline to Week 24 in ALSFRS-R Scores. 1.Functionality retained most activities of daily living (defined as scores of points or better on each individual text of the ALS Functional Rating Scale Revised [ALSFRS-R; described below]). 2.Normal respiratory function (defined as percent-predicted forced vital capacity values of [%FVC] >= 80%). 3.Definite or Probable ALS based on El Escorial revised criteria. 4.Disease duration of years or less oAn initial treatment cycle with daily dosing for 14 days, followed by 14-day drug-free period (Cycle 1). oSubsequent treatment cycles with daily dosing for 10 days out of 14-day periods, followed by 14-day drug-free periods (Cycles 2-6). figure-1.

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1 Pregnancy Risk SummaryThere are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of RADICAVA in pregnant women. In animal studies, administration of edaravone to pregnant rats and rabbits resulted in adverse developmental effects (increased mortality, decreased growth, delayed sexual development, and altered behavior) at clinically relevant doses. Most of these effects occurred at doses that were also associated with maternal toxicity (see Animal Data).In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. The background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage in patients with ALS is unknown. DataAnimal Data In rats, intravenous administration of edaravone (0, 3, 30, or 300 mg/kg/day) throughout the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced fetal weight at all doses. In dams allowed to deliver naturally, offspring weight was reduced at the highest dose tested. Maternal toxicity was also observed at the highest dose tested. There were no adverse effects on reproductive function in the offspring. no-effect dose for embryofetal developmental toxicity was not identified; the low dose is less than the recommended human dose of 60 mg, on body surface area (mg/m2) basis.In rabbits, intravenous administration of edaravone (0, 3, 20, or 100 mg/kg/day) throughout the period of organogenesis resulted in embryofetal death at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity. The higher no-effect dose for embryofetal developmental toxicity is approximately times the recommended human dose (RHD) on body surface area (mg/m2) basis.The effects on offspring of edaravone (0, 3, 20, or 200 mg/kg/day), administered by intravenous injection to rats from GD 17 throughout lactation, were assessed in two studies. In the first study, offspring mortality was observed at the high dose and increased activity was observed at the mid and high doses. In the second study, there was an increase in stillbirths, offspring mortality, and delayed physical development (vaginal opening) at the highest dose tested. Reproduction function in offspring was not affected in either study. Maternal toxicity was evident in both studies at all but the lowest dose tested. The no-effect dose for developmental toxicity (3 mg/kg/day) is less than the RHD on mg/m2 basis.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS oPregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm (8.1). oPregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm (8.1). 8.1 Pregnancy Risk SummaryThere are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of RADICAVA in pregnant women. In animal studies, administration of edaravone to pregnant rats and rabbits resulted in adverse developmental effects (increased mortality, decreased growth, delayed sexual development, and altered behavior) at clinically relevant doses. Most of these effects occurred at doses that were also associated with maternal toxicity (see Animal Data).In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. The background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage in patients with ALS is unknown. DataAnimal Data In rats, intravenous administration of edaravone (0, 3, 30, or 300 mg/kg/day) throughout the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced fetal weight at all doses. In dams allowed to deliver naturally, offspring weight was reduced at the highest dose tested. Maternal toxicity was also observed at the highest dose tested. There were no adverse effects on reproductive function in the offspring. no-effect dose for embryofetal developmental toxicity was not identified; the low dose is less than the recommended human dose of 60 mg, on body surface area (mg/m2) basis.In rabbits, intravenous administration of edaravone (0, 3, 20, or 100 mg/kg/day) throughout the period of organogenesis resulted in embryofetal death at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity. The higher no-effect dose for embryofetal developmental toxicity is approximately times the recommended human dose (RHD) on body surface area (mg/m2) basis.The effects on offspring of edaravone (0, 3, 20, or 200 mg/kg/day), administered by intravenous injection to rats from GD 17 throughout lactation, were assessed in two studies. In the first study, offspring mortality was observed at the high dose and increased activity was observed at the mid and high doses. In the second study, there was an increase in stillbirths, offspring mortality, and delayed physical development (vaginal opening) at the highest dose tested. Reproduction function in offspring was not affected in either study. Maternal toxicity was evident in both studies at all but the lowest dose tested. The no-effect dose for developmental toxicity (3 mg/kg/day) is less than the RHD on mg/m2 basis.. 8.2 Lactation Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of edaravone in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. Edaravone and its metabolites are excreted in the milk of lactating rats. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for RADICAVA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from RADICAVA or from the underlying maternal condition.. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of RADICAVA in pediatric patients have not been established.. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 184 patients with ALS who received RADICAVA in placebo-controlled clinical trials, total of 53 patients were 65 years of age and older, including patients 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS oHypersensitivity Reactions: Advise patients to seek immediate medical care (5.1) oSulfite Allergic Reactions: RADICAVA contains sodium bisulfite, which may cause allergic type reactions (5.2). oHypersensitivity Reactions: Advise patients to seek immediate medical care (5.1). oSulfite Allergic Reactions: RADICAVA contains sodium bisulfite, which may cause allergic type reactions (5.2). 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions (redness, wheals, and erythema multiforme) and cases of anaphylaxis (urticaria, decreased blood pressure, and dyspnea) have been reported in spontaneous postmarketing reports with RADICAVA.Patients should be monitored carefully for hypersensitivity reactions. If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue RADICAVA, treat per standard of care, and monitor until the condition resolves [see Contraindications (4)]. 5.2 Sulfite Allergic Reactions RADICAVA contains sodium bisulfite, sulfite that may cause allergic type reactions, including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in susceptible people. The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown. Sulfite sensitivity occurs more frequently in asthmatic people.

ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.
13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology Oral administration of edaravone (0, 10, 30, 100, or 300 mg/kg/day) in dogs for 39 weeks resulted in neurotoxicity, characterized by white matter vacuolation in the spinal cord and vacuolation and nerve fiber atrophy in the sciatic nerve, at the two highest doses tested. The microscopic findings were accompanied by gait abnormalities, loss of patellar reflex, and inability to rise. Plasma edaravone exposures (Cmax and AUC) at the higher no-effect dose for neurotoxicity (30 mg/kg/day) were approximately times more than those in humans at the recommended human dose of RADICAVA ORS (105 mg).
