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.. 3-Month and 6-Month TrialsTUDORZA PRESSAIR was studied in two 3-month (Trials and C) and one 6-month (Trial D) placebo-controlled trials in patients with COPD. In these trials, 636 patients were treated with TUDORZA PRESSAIR at the recommended dose of 400 mcg twice daily.The population had mean age of 64 years (ranging from 40 to 89 years), with 58% males, 94% Caucasian, and had COPD with mean pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) percent predicted of 48%. Patients with unstable cardiac disease, narrow-angle glaucoma, or symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy or bladder outlet obstruction were excluded from these trials.Table shows all adverse reactions that occurred with frequency of greater than or equal to 1% in the TUDORZA PRESSAIR group in the two 3-month and one 6-month placebo-controlled trials where the rates in the TUDORZA PRESSAIR group exceeded placebo.Table 1: Adverse Reactions (% Patients) in Placebo-Controlled Clinical TrialsTreatmentAdverse ReactionsTUDORZA PRESSAIRPlaceboPreferred Term(N=636)(N=640)n (%)n (%)Headache42 (6.6)32 (5.0)Nasopharyngitis35 (5.5)25 (3.9)Cough19 (3.0)14 (2.2)Diarrhea17 (2.7)9 (1.4)Sinusitis11 (1.7)5 (0.8)Rhinitis10 (1.6)8 (1.2)Toothache7 (1.1)5 (0.8)Fall7 (1.1)3 (0.5)Vomiting7 (1.1)3 (0.5)In addition, among the adverse reactions observed in the clinical trials with an incidence of less than 1% were diabetes mellitus, dry mouth, 1st degree AV block, osteoarthritis, cardiac failure, and cardio-respiratory arrest.. Long-term Safety TrialsTUDORZA PRESSAIR was studied in three long-term safety trials, two double blind and one open label, ranging from 40 to 52 weeks in patients with moderate to severe COPD. Two of these trials were extensions of the 3-month trials, and one was dedicated long-term safety trial. In these trials, 891 patients were treated with TUDORZA PRESSAIR at the recommended dose of 400 mcg twice daily. The demographic and baseline characteristics of the long-term safety trials were similar to those of the placebo-controlled trials. The adverse events reported in the long-term safety trials were similar to those occurring in the placebo-controlled trials of to months. No new safety findings were reported compared to the placebo-controlled trials.Long-Term Trial of up to 3-YearsIn long-term safety trial with 3630 moderate to very severe COPD patients with previous major cardiac events or cardiovascular risk factors at baseline, the adverse reactions reported with frequency >=2% in the TUDORZA PRESSAIR group in which the exposure-adjusted incidence rate exceeds the placebo group were nausea, back pain, cough, hypertension, sinusitis, constipation, arthralgia, anemia, muscle spasms, cardiac failure congestive, cellulitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. No other new adverse reactions were identified.. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of drug TUDORZA PRESSAIR. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure.In postmarketing experience with TUDORZA PRESSAIR, immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema (including swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat), urticaria, rash, bronchospasm, or itching have been reported. Additionally, nausea, dysphonia, blurred vision, urinary retention, tachycardia, and stomatitis have been observed.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Two-year inhalation studies were conducted in mice and rats to assess the carcinogenic potential of aclidinium bromide. No evidence of tumorigenicity was observed in rats and mice at aclidinium doses up to 0.20 and 2.4 mg/kg/day, respectively [approximately 10 and 80 times the Maximum Recommended Human Daily Inhalation Dose (MRHDID), respectively, based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites].Aclidinium bromide was positive in the in vitro bacterial gene mutation assay and the in vitro thymidine locus mouse lymphoma assay. However, aclidinium bromide was negative in the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay and the in vivo/in vitro unscheduled DNA synthesis assay with rat liver.Aclidinium bromide impaired several fertility and reproductive performance indices (increased number of days to mate, decreased conception rate, decreased number of corpora lutea, increased pre-implantation loss with consequent decreased number of implantations, and live embryos) in both male and female rats administered inhaled doses greater than or equal to 0.8 mg/kg/day [approximately 15 times the MRHDID based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites]. These adverse fertility effects were observed in the presence of paternal toxicity as evidenced by mortality and decreased body weight gain. However, there were no effects on mating index and sperm number and morphology. In the separate fertility assessments (treated males mated with untreated females; treated females mated with untreated males), no effect was observed in male and female rats at inhaled doses of 1.9 and 0.8 mg/kg/day, respectively [approximately 30 and 15 times the MRHDID, respectively, based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites].

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Aclidinium bromide is long-acting antimuscarinic agent, which is often referred to as an anticholinergic. It has similar affinity to the subtypes of muscarinic receptors M1 to M5. In the airways, it exhibits pharmacological effects through inhibition of M3 receptor at the smooth muscle leading to bronchodilation. The competitive and reversible nature of antagonism was shown with human and animal origin receptors and isolated organ preparations. In preclinical in vitro as well as in vivo studies, prevention of acetylcholine-induced bronchoconstriction effects was dose-dependent and lasted longer than 24 hours. The clinical relevance of these findings is unknown. The bronchodilation following inhalation of aclidinium bromide is predominantly site-specific effect.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Cardiovascular EffectsIn thorough QT Study, 200 mcg and 800 mcg TUDORZA PRESSAIR was administered to healthy volunteers once daily for days; no effects on prolongation of QT interval were observed using QTcF heart-rate correction methods.Additionally, the effect of TUDORZA PRESSAIR on cardiac rhythm was assessed in 336 COPD patients, 164 patients received aclidinium bromide 400 mcg twice daily and 172 patients received placebo, using 24-hr Holter monitoring. No clinically significant effects on cardiac rhythm were observed.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. AbsorptionThe absolute bioavailability of aclidinium bromide is approximately 6% in healthy volunteers. Following twice-daily oral inhalation administration of 400 mcg aclidinium bromide in healthy subjects, peak steady state plasma levels were observed within 10 minutes after inhalation.. DistributionAclidinium bromide shows volume of distribution of approximately 300 following intravenous administration of 400 mcg in humans.. MetabolismClinical pharmacokinetics studies, including mass balance study, indicate that the major route of metabolism of aclidinium bromide is hydrolysis, which occurs both chemically and enzymatically by esterases. Aclidinium bromide is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed to its alcohol and dithienylglycolic acid derivatives, neither of which binds to muscarinic receptors and are devoid of pharmacologic activity.Therefore, due to the low plasma levels achieved at the clinically relevant doses, aclidinium bromide and its metabolites are not expected to alter the disposition of drugs metabolized by the human CYP450 enzymes.. EliminationTotal clearance was approximately 170 L/h after an intravenous dose of aclidinium bromide in young healthy volunteers with an inter-individual variability of 36%. Intravenously administered radiolabeled aclidinium bromide was administered to healthy volunteers and was extensively metabolized with 1% excreted as unchanged aclidinium. Approximately 54% to 65% of the radioactivity was excreted in urine and 20% to 33% of the dose was excreted in feces. The combined results indicated that almost the entire aclidinium bromide dose was eliminated by hydrolysis. After dry powder inhalation, urinary excretion of aclidinium is about 0.09% of the dose and the estimated effective half-life is to hours.. Drug InteractionsFormal drug interaction studies were not performed. In vitro studies using human liver microsomes indicated that aclidinium bromide and its major metabolites do not inhibit CYP450, 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4/5, or 4A9/11 at concentrations up to 1,000-fold higher than the maximum plasma concentration that would be expected to be achieved at the therapeutic dose. Therefore, it is unlikely that aclidinium bromide causes CYP450 related drug interactions [see Drug Interactions (7)].. Specific Populations. Elderly PatientsThe pharmacokinetic profile of aclidinium bromide and its main metabolites was assessed in 12 elderly COPD patients (aged 70 years or older) compared to younger cohort of 12 COPD patients (40-59 years) that were administered 400 mcg aclidinium bromide once daily for days via inhalation. No clinically significant differences in systemic exposure (AUC and Cmax) were observed when the two groups were compared. No dosage adjustment is necessary in elderly patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].. Renal ImpairmentThe impact of renal disease upon the pharmacokinetics of aclidinium bromide was studied in 18 subjects with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. Systemic exposure (AUC and Cmax) to aclidinium bromide and its main metabolites following single doses of 400 mcg aclidinium bromide was similar in renally impaired patients compared with matched healthy control subjects. No dose adjustment is necessary in renally impaired patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].. Hepatic ImpairmentThe effects of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of aclidinium bromide were not studied. However, hepatic insufficiency is not expected to have relevant influence on aclidinium bromide pharmacokinetics, since it is predominantly metabolized by chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis to products that do not bind to muscarinic receptors [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) The TUDORZA PRESSAIR clinical development program included dose-ranging trial (Trial A) for nominal dose selection and three confirmatory lung function trials (Trials B, C, and D). Two additional lung function trials (Trials and F) of aclidinium bromide alone and as part of fixed-dose combination product also provided information on the effect of TUDORZA PRESSAIR on the St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score compared to placebo. long-term study of up to years (Trial G) evaluated the effect of TUDORZA PRESSAIR on major adverse cardiovascular events and on COPD exacerbations.Dose-ranging trialTrial (NCT01120093) was randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active-controlled, crossover trial with 7-day treatment periods separated by 5-day washout periods. Trial enrolled 79 patients who had clinical diagnosis of COPD were 40 years of age or older, had history of smoking at least 10 pack-years, had forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of at least 30% and less than 80% of predicted normal value, and ratio of FEV1 over forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) of less than 0.7. Trial included TUDORZA PRESSAIR doses of 400 mcg, 200 mcg, and 100 mcg twice daily, formoterol active control, and placebo. Trial demonstrated that the effect on trough FEV1 and serial FEV1 in patients treated with the TUDORZA PRESSAIR 100 mcg twice daily and 200 mcg twice daily doses was lower compared to patients treated with the TUDORZA PRESSAIR 400 mcg twice daily dose (Figure 1).Figure 1: Change from baseline in FEV1 Over Time (prior to and after administration of study drug) at Week in Trial AConfirmatory trialsTrials (NCT00891462), (NCT01045161), and (NCT01001494) were three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in patients with COPD. Trials and were months in duration, and Trial was months in duration. These trials enrolled 1,276 patients who had clinical diagnosis of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, were 40 years of age or older, had history of smoking at least 10 pack-years, had an FEV1 of at least 30% and less than 80% of predicted normal value, and ratio of FEV1/FVC of less than 0.7; 59% were male, and 93% were Caucasian.These clinical trials evaluated TUDORZA PRESSAIR 400 mcg twice daily (636 patients) and placebo (640 patients). TUDORZA PRESSAIR 400 mcg resulted in statistically significantly greater bronchodilation as measured by change from baseline in morning pre-dose FEV1 at 12 weeks (the primary efficacy endpoint) compared to placebo in all three trials (Table 2).Table 2: Change from Baseline in Trough FEV1 (L) at Week 12LinBaselineChange from BaselineLS Mean (SE)Treatment DifferenceLS Mean (95% CI)Trial (N=375)Aclidinium 400 mcg1.330.10 (0.01)0.12 (0.08, 0.16)Placebo1.38-0.02 (0.02)Trial (N=359)Aclidinium 400 mcg1.250.06 (0.02)0.07 (0.03, 0.12)Placebo1.46-0.01 (0.02)Trial DIn the 6-month Trial D, placebo adjusted change from baseline in Trough FEV1 at 24 weeks was 0.13 (0.09, 0.17).

LS mean, and 95% confidence interval were obtained from an ANCOVA model with change from baseline in trough FEV1 as response, with treatment group and sex as factors and baseline trough FEV1 and age as covariates.Serial spirometric evaluations were performed throughout daytime hours in subset of patients in the three trials. The serial FEV1 values over 12 hours for one of the 3-month trials (Trial B) are displayed in Figure 2. Results for the other two placebo-controlled trials were similar to the results for Trial B. Improvement of lung function was maintained for 12 hours after single dose and was consistent over the 3- or 6-month treatment period.Figure 2: Mean FEV1 Over Time (prior to and after administration of study drug) on Day and Week 12 in Subset of Patients Participating in the 12 hours Serial Spirometry Substudy for Trial (a 3-month Placebo-Controlled Study)Mean peak improvements in FEV1, for TUDORZA PRESSAIR relative to baseline were assessed in all patients in trials B, C, and after the first dose on Day and were similar at Week 12. In Trials and D, but not in Trial C, patients treated with TUDORZA PRESSAIR used less daily rescue albuterol during the trial compared to patients treated with placebo.Trials (NCT01437397) and (NCT01462942) were two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of an aclidinium bromide-containing fixed- dose combination product and its components compared to placebo in patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Trials and were months in duration. These trials enrolled 3421 patients who had clinical diagnosis of COPD, were 40 years of age or older, had history of smoking at least 10 pack-years, had an FEV1 of at least 30% and less than 80%, and ratio of FEV1/FVC less than 0.7; 60.5% were male, 94.1% were Caucasian.The St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was assessed in Trials D, E, and at months. In Trial D, the SGRQ responder rate (defined as an improvement in score of or more as threshold) was 54.3% in TUDORZA PRESSAIR compared to 39.5% in placebo, with odds ratio of 1.77 (95% CI 1.25, 2.52). In Trial E, the SGRQ responder rate in the TUDORZA PRESSAIR group was 54.5% compared to 38.7% in the placebo group, with odds ratio of 2.18 (95% CI 1.37, 3.48). In Trial F, the SGRQ responder rate in the TUDORZA PRESSAIR group was 53.5% compared to 53.2% in the placebo group, with odds ratio of 0.99 (95% CI 0.6, 1.64).Long Term Safety and Efficacy Trial of up to 3-yearsTrial (NCT01966107) was randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of up to 36 months that evaluated the effect of TUDORZA PRESSAIR on major adverse cardiovascular events and COPD exacerbations in patients with moderate to very severe COPD with and without history of COPD exacerbations.The trial enrolled 3630 patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, between 40 and 91 years of age, 58.7% were male and 90.7% were Caucasian, with mean post-bronchodilator FEV1 of 47.9% of predicted value. All patients had history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease and/or significant cardiovascular risk factors. All patients had moderate to very severe COPD. 60.1% of patients had at least one prior moderate or severe COPD exacerbation within the past 12 months from the screening visit, and 39.9% had no history of moderate or severe COPD exacerbation within the past 12 months.Approximately 48% of enrolled patients had prior history of at least documented previous CV event; cerebrovascular disease (13.1%), coronary artery disease (35.4%), peripheral vascular disease or history of claudication (13.6%); 63.6% of them were on long-acting 2-adrenergic agonist (LABA or LABA/inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) maintenance therapy at study entry (LABA only 6.3%, LABA/ICS 57.3%)). The majority of patients had moderate (45.1%) or severe (40.2%) airflow obstruction.The primary safety endpoint was the time to first occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), defined as any of the following adjudicated events: cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or non-fatal ischemic stroke. The study was designed to exclude pre-specified risk margin of 1.8 for the hazard ratio of MACE.The results of Trial G, including each component event of the primary composite endpoint, are shown in Table 3. The proportion of patients with at least one MACE was 3.9% in the TUDORZA PRESSAIR group compared to 4.2% in the placebo group. The incidence rate of MACE was 2.4 per 100 patient-years on TUDORZA PRESSAIR vs. 2.8 per 100 patient-years on placebo. The estimated hazard ratio of MACE associated with TUDORZA PRESSAIR relative to placebo was 0.89 with 95% confidence interval of (0.64, 1.23). The upper bound of this confidence interval, 1.23, excluded risk margin larger than 1.8. TUDORZA PRESSAIR was non-inferior to placebo for risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.Table 3: Primary Analysis of Adjudicated Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)TUDORZA PRESSAIRPlaceboHazard Ratio (95% CI)N 1791Total PY 2828.9N 1798Total PY 2748.1Subjects with Events (%)Rate per 100 PYSubjects with Events (%)Rate per 100 PYMACE69 (3.9%)2.476 (4.2%)2.80.89 (0.64, 1.23)Component EventsA patient may have experienced more than one component; therefore, the sum of the components is larger than the number of patients who experienced the composite outcome.

The primary efficacy endpoint was the rate of moderate to severe exacerbations during the first year of treatment, defined as worsening of COPD symptoms (dyspnea, cough, sputum) for at least consecutive days that required treatment with antibiotics and/or systemic corticosteroids or resulted in hospitalization or led to death. In total, 54.3% of patients in Trial completed the first year of treatment, with 9.8% patients treated less than 12 months due to study closure. TUDORZA PRESSAIR demonstrated statistically significant reduction in the rate of on-study moderate to severe COPD exacerbations during the first year by 17% compared to placebo (rate ratio [RR] 0.83; 95% CI 0.73 to 0.94; p=0.003). TUDORZA PRESSAIR also demonstrated statistically significant reduction in the rate of on-study hospitalizations due to COPD exacerbation during the first year by 28% compared with placebo (RR 0.72; 95% CI 0.55 to 0.95; p=0.02).

DESCRIPTION SECTION.

11 DESCRIPTION. TUDORZA PRESSAIR consists of dry powder formulation of aclidinium bromide for oral inhalation only.Aclidinium bromide, the active component of TUDORZA PRESSAIR is an anticholinergic with specificity for muscarinic receptors. Aclidinium bromide is synthetic, quaternary ammonium compound, chemically described as 1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 3-[(hydroxydi-2-thienylacetyl)oxy]-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-, bromide, (3R)-. The structural formula is:Aclidinium bromide is white powder with molecular formula of C26H30NO4S2Br and molecular mass of 564.56. It is very slightly soluble in water and ethanol and sparingly soluble in methanol.TUDORZA PRESSAIR is breath-actuated multi-dose dry powder inhaler. Each actuation of TUDORZA PRESSAIR provides metered dose of 13 mg of the formulation which contains lactose monohydrate (which may contain milk proteins) as the carrier and 400 mcg of aclidinium bromide (equivalent to 343 mcg of aclidinium). This results in delivery of 375 mcg aclidinium bromide (equivalent to 322 mcg of aclidinium) from the mouthpiece, based on in vitro testing at an average flow rate of 63 L/min with constant volume of L. The amount of drug delivered to the lungs will vary depending on patient factors such as inspiratory flow rate and inspiratory time.. Structural Formula.

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS. In vitro studies suggest limited potential for CYP450-related metabolic drug interactions, thus no formal drug interaction studies have been performed with TUDORZA PRESSAIR [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].. Anticholinergics: May interact additively with concomitantly used anticholinergic medications. Avoid administrations of TUDORZA PRESSAIR with other anticholinergic-containing drugs. (7.2). 7.1 Sympathomimetics, Methylxanthines, Steroids. In clinical studies, concurrent administration of aclidinium bromide and other drugs commonly used in the treatment of COPD including sympathomimetics (short-acting beta2 agonists), methylxanthines, and oral and inhaled steroids showed no increases in adverse drug reactions.. 7.2 Anticholinergics. There is potential for an additive interaction with concomitantly used anticholinergic medications. Therefore, avoid coadministration of TUDORZA PRESSAIR with other anticholinergic-containing drugs as this may lead to an increase in anticholinergic effects.

GERIATRIC USE SECTION.

8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 636 COPD patients exposed to TUDORZA PRESSAIR 400 mcg twice daily for up to 24 weeks in three placebo-controlled clinical trials, 197 were less than 60 years, 272 were greater than or equal to 60 to less than 70 years, and 167 were greater than or equal to 70 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. Based on available data for TUDORZA PRESSAIR, no adjustment of dosage in geriatric patients is warranted [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

LACTATION SECTION.

8.2 Lactation Risk SummaryThere are no available data on the effects of TUDORZA PRESSAIR or aclidinium bromide on the breastfed child or on milk production or presence in human milk. Aclidinium bromide is present in milk of lactating female rats [see Data]. When drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for TUDORZA PRESSAIR and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TUDORZA PRESSAIR or from the underlying maternal condition.DataIn pharmacokinetic study, levels of radioactivity in milk and plasma in rats were measured after single intravenous dose of mg/kg of radiolabeled aclidinium bromide on approximately post-natal day 14 [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. The maximum concentration of radioactivity [14C-aclidinium] in milk was measured at hours post-dose and was found to be 10-14 times higher than in plasma.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.

12.1 Mechanism of Action. Aclidinium bromide is long-acting antimuscarinic agent, which is often referred to as an anticholinergic. It has similar affinity to the subtypes of muscarinic receptors M1 to M5. In the airways, it exhibits pharmacological effects through inhibition of M3 receptor at the smooth muscle leading to bronchodilation. The competitive and reversible nature of antagonism was shown with human and animal origin receptors and isolated organ preparations. In preclinical in vitro as well as in vivo studies, prevention of acetylcholine-induced bronchoconstriction effects was dose-dependent and lasted longer than 24 hours. The clinical relevance of these findings is unknown. The bronchodilation following inhalation of aclidinium bromide is predominantly site-specific effect.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Two-year inhalation studies were conducted in mice and rats to assess the carcinogenic potential of aclidinium bromide. No evidence of tumorigenicity was observed in rats and mice at aclidinium doses up to 0.20 and 2.4 mg/kg/day, respectively [approximately 10 and 80 times the Maximum Recommended Human Daily Inhalation Dose (MRHDID), respectively, based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites].Aclidinium bromide was positive in the in vitro bacterial gene mutation assay and the in vitro thymidine locus mouse lymphoma assay. However, aclidinium bromide was negative in the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay and the in vivo/in vitro unscheduled DNA synthesis assay with rat liver.Aclidinium bromide impaired several fertility and reproductive performance indices (increased number of days to mate, decreased conception rate, decreased number of corpora lutea, increased pre-implantation loss with consequent decreased number of implantations, and live embryos) in both male and female rats administered inhaled doses greater than or equal to 0.8 mg/kg/day [approximately 15 times the MRHDID based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites]. These adverse fertility effects were observed in the presence of paternal toxicity as evidenced by mortality and decreased body weight gain. However, there were no effects on mating index and sperm number and morphology. In the separate fertility assessments (treated males mated with untreated females; treated females mated with untreated males), no effect was observed in male and female rats at inhaled doses of 1.9 and 0.8 mg/kg/day, respectively [approximately 30 and 15 times the MRHDID, respectively, based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites].

OVERDOSAGE SECTION.

10 OVERDOSAGE. 10.1 Human Experience. No case of overdose has been reported in clinical studies with TUDORZA PRESSAIR. There were no systemic anticholinergic or other adverse effects following single inhaled dose of up to 6,000 mcg aclidinium bromide (7.5 times the RHDD) in 16 healthy volunteers.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.

8.4 Pediatric Use TUDORZA PRESSAIR is approved for use in the maintenance treatment of bronchospasm associated with COPD. COPD does not normally occur in children. The safety and effectiveness of TUDORZA PRESSAIR in pediatric patients have not been established.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Cardiovascular EffectsIn thorough QT Study, 200 mcg and 800 mcg TUDORZA PRESSAIR was administered to healthy volunteers once daily for days; no effects on prolongation of QT interval were observed using QTcF heart-rate correction methods.Additionally, the effect of TUDORZA PRESSAIR on cardiac rhythm was assessed in 336 COPD patients, 164 patients received aclidinium bromide 400 mcg twice daily and 172 patients received placebo, using 24-hr Holter monitoring. No clinically significant effects on cardiac rhythm were observed.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics. AbsorptionThe absolute bioavailability of aclidinium bromide is approximately 6% in healthy volunteers. Following twice-daily oral inhalation administration of 400 mcg aclidinium bromide in healthy subjects, peak steady state plasma levels were observed within 10 minutes after inhalation.. DistributionAclidinium bromide shows volume of distribution of approximately 300 following intravenous administration of 400 mcg in humans.. MetabolismClinical pharmacokinetics studies, including mass balance study, indicate that the major route of metabolism of aclidinium bromide is hydrolysis, which occurs both chemically and enzymatically by esterases. Aclidinium bromide is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed to its alcohol and dithienylglycolic acid derivatives, neither of which binds to muscarinic receptors and are devoid of pharmacologic activity.Therefore, due to the low plasma levels achieved at the clinically relevant doses, aclidinium bromide and its metabolites are not expected to alter the disposition of drugs metabolized by the human CYP450 enzymes.. EliminationTotal clearance was approximately 170 L/h after an intravenous dose of aclidinium bromide in young healthy volunteers with an inter-individual variability of 36%. Intravenously administered radiolabeled aclidinium bromide was administered to healthy volunteers and was extensively metabolized with 1% excreted as unchanged aclidinium. Approximately 54% to 65% of the radioactivity was excreted in urine and 20% to 33% of the dose was excreted in feces. The combined results indicated that almost the entire aclidinium bromide dose was eliminated by hydrolysis. After dry powder inhalation, urinary excretion of aclidinium is about 0.09% of the dose and the estimated effective half-life is to hours.. Drug InteractionsFormal drug interaction studies were not performed. In vitro studies using human liver microsomes indicated that aclidinium bromide and its major metabolites do not inhibit CYP450, 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4/5, or 4A9/11 at concentrations up to 1,000-fold higher than the maximum plasma concentration that would be expected to be achieved at the therapeutic dose. Therefore, it is unlikely that aclidinium bromide causes CYP450 related drug interactions [see Drug Interactions (7)].. Specific Populations. Elderly PatientsThe pharmacokinetic profile of aclidinium bromide and its main metabolites was assessed in 12 elderly COPD patients (aged 70 years or older) compared to younger cohort of 12 COPD patients (40-59 years) that were administered 400 mcg aclidinium bromide once daily for days via inhalation. No clinically significant differences in systemic exposure (AUC and Cmax) were observed when the two groups were compared. No dosage adjustment is necessary in elderly patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].. Renal ImpairmentThe impact of renal disease upon the pharmacokinetics of aclidinium bromide was studied in 18 subjects with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. Systemic exposure (AUC and Cmax) to aclidinium bromide and its main metabolites following single doses of 400 mcg aclidinium bromide was similar in renally impaired patients compared with matched healthy control subjects. No dose adjustment is necessary in renally impaired patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].. Hepatic ImpairmentThe effects of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of aclidinium bromide were not studied. However, hepatic insufficiency is not expected to have relevant influence on aclidinium bromide pharmacokinetics, since it is predominantly metabolized by chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis to products that do not bind to muscarinic receptors [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].

PREGNANCY SECTION.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk SummaryThere are no adequate and well controlled studies of TUDORZA PRESSAIR in pregnant women to inform drug associated risks.No adverse developmental effects were seen with inhalation administration of aclidinium bromide to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at 15 or 20 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human daily inhaled dose (MRHDID). However, reduced pup weights were seen when pregnant rats continued inhalation administration through lactation at times the MRHDID of aclidinium bromide. Adverse developmental effects occurred when rabbits were orally dosed with aclidinium bromide at approximately 1,400 times the MRHDID [see Data].The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage of the indicated populations is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.DataAnimal DataIn an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats dosed during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6-17, no evidence of structural alterations was observed at approximately 15 times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at inhaled doses less than or equal to 5.0 mg/kg/day]. However, in pre- and post-natal development study, decreased pup weights were observed when pregnant rats were exposed from gestation day and continuing during the lactation period at approximately times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at inhaled doses greater than or equal to 0.2 mg/kg/day]. Maternal toxicity was also observed at inhaled doses greater than or equal to 0.2 mg/kg/day.In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant Himalayan rabbits administered inhaled doses of aclidinium bromide during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6-19, no evidence of structural alterations was observed at approximately 20 times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at inhaled doses less than or equal to 3.6 mg/kg/day]. However, in another embryo-fetal development study in pregnant Himalayan rabbits dosed orally from gestation days 6-19, increased incidences of additional liver lobes (3-5%), as compared to 0% in the control group, were observed at approximately 1,400 times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at oral doses greater than or equal to 150 mg/kg/day], and decreased fetal body weights were observed at approximately 2,300 times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at oral doses greater than or equal to 300 mg/kg/day]. These fetal findings were observed in the presence of maternal toxicity.

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION.

5.1 Not for Acute Use. TUDORZA PRESSAIR is intended as twice-daily maintenance treatment for COPD and is not indicated for the initial treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm (i.e., rescue therapy).

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk SummaryThere are no adequate and well controlled studies of TUDORZA PRESSAIR in pregnant women to inform drug associated risks.No adverse developmental effects were seen with inhalation administration of aclidinium bromide to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at 15 or 20 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human daily inhaled dose (MRHDID). However, reduced pup weights were seen when pregnant rats continued inhalation administration through lactation at times the MRHDID of aclidinium bromide. Adverse developmental effects occurred when rabbits were orally dosed with aclidinium bromide at approximately 1,400 times the MRHDID [see Data].The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage of the indicated populations is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.DataAnimal DataIn an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats dosed during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6-17, no evidence of structural alterations was observed at approximately 15 times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at inhaled doses less than or equal to 5.0 mg/kg/day]. However, in pre- and post-natal development study, decreased pup weights were observed when pregnant rats were exposed from gestation day and continuing during the lactation period at approximately times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at inhaled doses greater than or equal to 0.2 mg/kg/day]. Maternal toxicity was also observed at inhaled doses greater than or equal to 0.2 mg/kg/day.In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant Himalayan rabbits administered inhaled doses of aclidinium bromide during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6-19, no evidence of structural alterations was observed at approximately 20 times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at inhaled doses less than or equal to 3.6 mg/kg/day]. However, in another embryo-fetal development study in pregnant Himalayan rabbits dosed orally from gestation days 6-19, increased incidences of additional liver lobes (3-5%), as compared to 0% in the control group, were observed at approximately 1,400 times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at oral doses greater than or equal to 150 mg/kg/day], and decreased fetal body weights were observed at approximately 2,300 times the MRHDID [based on summed AUCs of aclidinium bromide and its metabolites at oral doses greater than or equal to 300 mg/kg/day]. These fetal findings were observed in the presence of maternal toxicity.. 8.2 Lactation Risk SummaryThere are no available data on the effects of TUDORZA PRESSAIR or aclidinium bromide on the breastfed child or on milk production or presence in human milk. Aclidinium bromide is present in milk of lactating female rats [see Data]. When drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for TUDORZA PRESSAIR and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TUDORZA PRESSAIR or from the underlying maternal condition.DataIn pharmacokinetic study, levels of radioactivity in milk and plasma in rats were measured after single intravenous dose of mg/kg of radiolabeled aclidinium bromide on approximately post-natal day 14 [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. The maximum concentration of radioactivity [14C-aclidinium] in milk was measured at hours post-dose and was found to be 10-14 times higher than in plasma.. 8.4 Pediatric Use TUDORZA PRESSAIR is approved for use in the maintenance treatment of bronchospasm associated with COPD. COPD does not normally occur in children. The safety and effectiveness of TUDORZA PRESSAIR in pediatric patients have not been established.. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 636 COPD patients exposed to TUDORZA PRESSAIR 400 mcg twice daily for up to 24 weeks in three placebo-controlled clinical trials, 197 were less than 60 years, 272 were greater than or equal to 60 to less than 70 years, and 167 were greater than or equal to 70 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. Based on available data for TUDORZA PRESSAIR, no adjustment of dosage in geriatric patients is warranted [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 8.6 Renal Impairment The pharmacokinetics of TUDORZA PRESSAIR were investigated in subjects with normal renal function and in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. No clinically significant differences in aclidinium pharmacokinetics were noted between these populations. Based on available data for TUDORZA PRESSAIR, no adjustment of dosage in renally impaired subjects is warranted.. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment The effects of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of TUDORZA PRESSAIR were not studied [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
