CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. CarcinogenesisPilocarpine did not induce tumors in mice at any dosage level studied (up to 30 mg/kg/day; approximately 160-times the MRHOD). In rats, an oral dose of 18 mg/kg/day (approximately 200 times the MRHOD), resulted in statistically significant increase in the incidence of benign pheochromocytomas in both male and female rats, and statistically significant increase in the incidence of hepatocellular adenomas in female rats. MutagenesisPilocarpine did not show any potential to cause genetic toxicity in series of studies that included: 1) bacterial assays (Salmonella and E. coli) for reverse gene mutations; 2) an in vitro chromosome aberration assay in Chinese hamster ovary cell line; 3) an in vivo chromosome aberration assay (micronucleus test) in mice; and 4) primary DNA damage assay (unscheduled DNA synthesis) in rat hepatocyte primary cultures.Impairment of FertilityPilocarpine oral administration to male and female rats at dosage of 18 mg/kg/day (200 times the recommended human daily dose) resulted in impaired reproductive function, including reduced fertility, decreased sperm motility, and morphologic evidence of abnormal sperm. It is unclear whether the reduction in fertility was due to effects on males, females, or both. In dogs, exposure to pilocarpine at dosage of mg/kg/day for months resulted in evidence of impaired spermatogenesis (approximately 110 times the recommended human daily dose).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Pilocarpine hydrochloride is cholinergic muscarinic agonist which activates muscarinic receptors located at smooth muscles such as the iris sphincter muscle and ciliary muscle. VUITY contracts the iris sphincter muscle, constricting the pupil to improve near and intermediate visual acuity while maintaining some pupillary response to light. VUITY also contracts the ciliary muscle and may shift the eye to more myopic state.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Systemic exposure to pilocarpine was evaluated in 22 participants with presbyopia who were administered drop of VUITY in each eye once daily for 30 days. The mean Cmax and AUC0- t,ss values on Day 30 were 1.95 ng/mL and 4.14 ng.hr/mL, respectively. The median Tmax value on Day 30 was 0.3 hours postdose with range from 0.2 to 0.5 hours postdose.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES. The efficacy of VUITY for the treatment of presbyopia was demonstrated in two 30-Day Phase 3, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled studies, namely GEMINI (NCT03804268) and GEMINI (NCT03857542). total of 750 participants aged 40 to 55 years old with presbyopia were randomized (375 to VUITY group) in two studies and participants were instructed to administer one drop of VUITY or vehicle once daily in each eye. In both studies, the proportion of participants gaining lines or more in mesopic, high contrast, binocular distance corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA), without losing more than line (5 letters) of corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) with the same refractive correction was statistically significantly greater in the VUITY group compared to the vehicle group at Day 30, Hour (see Table 1).

LACTATION SECTION.
8.2 Lactation Risk SummaryThere is no information regarding the presence of pilocarpine in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infants, or the effects on milk production to inform risk of VUITY to an infant during lactation. Pilocarpine and/or its metabolites are excreted in the milk of lactating rats. Systemic levels of pilocarpine following topical ocular administration are low [see Clinical Pharmacology 12.3 ], and it is not known whether measurable levels of pilocarpine would be present in maternal milk following topical ocular administration. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for VUITY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from VUITY.DataAnimal DataFollowing single oral administration of 14C-pilocarpine to lactating rats, the radioactivity concentrations in milk were similar to those in plasma.

OVERDOSAGE SECTION.
10 OVERDOSAGE. Systemic toxicity following topical ocular administration of pilocarpine is rare, but occasionally patients who are sensitive may develop sweating and gastrointestinal overactivity. Accidental ingestion can produce sweating, salivation, nausea, tremors and slowing of the pulse and decrease in blood pressure. In moderate overdosage, spontaneous recovery is to be expected and is aided by intravenous fluids to compensate for dehydration. For patients demonstrating severe poisoning, atropine, the pharmacologic antagonist to pilocarpine, should be used.

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryThere are no adequate and well-controlled studies of VUITY administration in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risk. Oral administration of pilocarpine to pregnant rats throughout organogenesis and lactation did not produce adverse effects at clinically relevant doses. DataHuman DataNo adequate and well-controlled trials of VUITY have been conducted in pregnant women. In retrospective case series of 15 women with glaucoma, patients used ophthalmic pilocarpine either pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy or postpartum. There were no adverse effects observed in patients or in their infants. Animal DataIn embryofetal development studies, oral administration of pilocarpine to pregnant rats throughout organogenesis produced maternal toxicity, skeletal anomalies and reduction in fetal body weight at 90 mg/kg/day (approximately 970-fold higher than the maximum recommended human ophthalmic dose [MRHOD] of 0.015 mg/kg/day, on mg/m2 basis). In peri-/postnatal study in rats, oral administration of pilocarpine during late gestation through lactation increased stillbirths at dose of 36 mg/kg/day (approximately 390-fold higher than the MRHOD). Decreased neonatal survival and reduced mean body weight of pups were observed at >=18 mg/kg/day (approximately 200 times the recommended human daily dose of VUITY).
