ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.


6 ADVERSE REACTIONS. The most common adverse reactions (2-5%) were blurred vision, superficial punctate keratitis, dry eye, abnormal sensation in eye, and dysgeusia. (6) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Alcon Laboratories, Inc. at 1-800-757-9195 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. In randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled trial, patients at risk for developing allergic conjunctivitis received one drop of either PAZEO (N=330) or vehicle (N=169) in both eyes for weeks. The mean age of the population was 32 years (range to 74 years). Thirty-five percent were male. Fifty-three percent had brown iris color and 23% had blue iris color. The most commonly reported adverse reactions occurred in 2-5% of patients treated with either PAZEO or vehicle. These events were blurred vision, dry eye, superficial punctate keratitis, dysgeusia and abnormal sensation in eye.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1 CARCINOGENESIS, MUTAGENESIS, IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY. CarcinogenicityOlopatadine administered orally was not carcinogenic in mice and rats in doses up to 500 mg/kg/day and 200 mg/kg/day, respectively. Based on 35 uL drop size and 60 kg person, these doses are approximately 4,500 and 3,600 times the MRHOD, on mg/m2 basis. Mutagenesis No mutagenic potential was observed when olopatadine was tested in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test, an in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration assay or an in vivo mouse micronucleus test. Impairment of fertility Olopatadine administered at an oral dose of 400 mg/kg/day (approximately 7,200 times the MRHOD) produced toxicity in male and female rats, and resulted in decrease in the fertility index and reduced implantation rate. No effects on reproductive function were observed at 50 mg/kg/day (approximately 900 times the MRHOD).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 MECHANISM OF ACTION. Olopatadine is mast cell stabilizer and histamine H1 antagonist. Decreased chemotaxis and inhibition of eosinophil activation has also been demonstrated.. 12.3 PHARMACOKINETICS. In healthy subjects, topical ocular dosing of drop of PAZEO once daily for days into both eyes resulted in mean +- SD (range) steady state plasma olopatadine Cmax and AUC0-12 of 1.6 +- 0.9 ng/mL (0.6 to 4.5 ng/mL) and 9.7 +- 4.4 ngh/mL (3.7 to 21.2 ngh/mL), respectively. The olopatadine Cmax and AUC0-12 after the first dose were similar to those measured on day in these subjects, suggesting that there was no systemic accumulation of olopatadine after repeated topical ocular dosing with PAZEO. The median (range) time to achieve peak olopatadine concentrations (Tmax) was 2.0 hours (0.25 to hours). The mean +- SD (range) elimination half-life of olopatadine was 3.4 +- 1.2 hours (2 to hours). N-oxide olopatadine (M3) was detected during the first hours after bilateral topical ocular dosing of PAZEO in approximately half of the subjects and in less than 10% of the total plasma samples collected, at concentrations not exceeding 0.121 ng/mL on day and 0.174 ng/mL on day 7. None of the plasma samples from these subjects had mono-desmethyl olopatadine (M1) concentrations that were above the lower limit of quantitation (0.05 ng/mL) of the PK assay.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. The efficacy of PAZEO was established in two randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, conjunctival allergen challenge (CAC) clinical studies in patients with history of allergic conjunctivitis (Studies and 2). In Study 1, patients were randomized to receive one of the following study treatments: PAZEO, PATADAY, or vehicle ophthalmic solutions. In Study 2, patients were randomized to receive one of the following study treatments: PAZEO, PATADAY, PATANOL, or vehicle ophthalmic solutions. Patients were evaluated with an ocular itching severity score ranging from (no itching) to (incapacitating itch) at several time points after CAC administration. Table displays the mean ocular itching severity scores after ocular administration of specific antigen using the CAC model in Studies and 2, respectively. one unit difference compared to vehicle is considered clinically meaningful change in the ocular itching severity score. PAZEO demonstrated statistically significantly improved relief of ocular itching compared to vehicle at 30-34 minutes, 16 hours, and 24 hours after study treatment. PAZEO demonstrated statistically significantly improved relief of ocular itching compared to PATADAY at 24 hours after study treatment, but not at 30-34 minutes after study treatment. Table 1.

NURSING MOTHERS SECTION.


8.3 NURSING MOTHERS. Olopatadine has been identified in the milk of nursing rats following oral administration. Oral administration of olopatadine doses at or above mg/kg/day throughout the lactation period produced decreased body weight gain in rat offspring; dose of mg/kg/day olopatadine produced no toxicity. An oral dose of mg/kg olopatadine in rats resulted in range of systemic plasma area under the curve (AUC) levels that were 45 to 150 times higher than the observed human exposure [9.7 nghr/mL] following administration of the recommended human ophthalmic dose. It is not known whether topical ocular administration could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in the human breast milk. Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when PAZEO is administered to nursing mother.

8.4 PEDIATRIC USE. The safety and effectiveness of PAZEO have been established in pediatric patients two years of age and older. Use of PAZEO in these pediatric patients is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of PAZEO in adults and an adequate and well controlled study evaluating the safety of PAZEO in pediatric and adult patients.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 PHARMACOKINETICS. In healthy subjects, topical ocular dosing of drop of PAZEO once daily for days into both eyes resulted in mean +- SD (range) steady state plasma olopatadine Cmax and AUC0-12 of 1.6 +- 0.9 ng/mL (0.6 to 4.5 ng/mL) and 9.7 +- 4.4 ngh/mL (3.7 to 21.2 ngh/mL), respectively.

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 PREGNANCY. Risk SummaryThere are no adequate or well-controlled studies with PAZEO in pregnant women. Olopatadine caused maternal toxicity and embryofetal toxicity in rats at levels 1,080 to 14,400 times the maximum recommended human ophthalmic dose (MRHOD). There was no toxicity in rat offspring at exposures estimated to be 45 to 150 times that at MRHOD. Olopatadine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Animal Data In rabbit embryofetal study, rabbits treated orally at 400 mg/kg/day during organogenesis showed decrease in live fetuses. This dose is 14,400 times the MRHOD, on mg/m2 basis. An oral dose of 600 mg/kg/day olopatadine (10,800 times the MRHOD) was shown to be maternally toxic in rats, producing death and reduced maternal body weight gain. When administered to rats throughout organogenesis, olopatadine produced cleft palate at 60 mg/kg/day (1080 times the MRHOD) and decreased embryofetal viability and reduced fetal weight in rats at 600 mg/kg/day. When administered to rats during late gestation and throughout the lactation period, olopatadine produced decreased neonatal survival at 60 mg/kg/day and reduced body weight gain in offspring at mg/kg/day. dose of mg/kg/day olopatadine produced no toxicity in rat offspring. An oral dose of mg/kg olopatadine in rats resulted in range of systemic plasma area under the curve (AUC) levels that were 45 to 150 times higher than the observed human exposure [9.7 nghr/mL] following administration of the recommended human ophthalmic dose.
