ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.


6 ADVERSE REACTIONS. 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 most common adverse reactions (incidence >=4% and >placebo) were dry mouth, headache, constipation, and abdominal pain. (6.1)To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. at 1-888-838-2872 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. The efficacy and safety of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules was evaluated in 1073 patients (537 assigned to tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules; 536 assigned to placebo) who were treated with 2, 4, 6, or mg/day for up to 15 months. These included total of 1012 patients (505 randomized to tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, mg once daily and 507 randomized to placebo) enrolled in randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 12 week clinical efficacy and safety study.Adverse events were reported in 52% (n=263) of patients receiving tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules and in 49% (n=247) of patients receiving placebo. The most common adverse events reported by patients receiving tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules were dry mouth, headache, constipation, and abdominal pain. Dry mouth was the most frequently reported adverse event for patients treated with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules occurring in 23.4% of patients treated with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules and 7.7% of placebo-treated patients. Dry mouth, constipation, abnormal vision (accommodation abnormalities), urinary retention, and dry eyes are expected side effects of antimuscarinic agents. serious adverse event was reported by 1.4% (n=7) of patients receiving tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules and by 3.6% (n=18) of patients receiving placebo.Table lists the adverse events, regardless of causality, that were reported in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 12-week study at an incidence greater than placebo and in greater than or equal to 1% of patients treated with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, mg once daily.Table 1.

Similar percentages of patients treated with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules or placebo discontinued treatment due to adverse events. Dry mouth was the most common adverse event leading to treatment discontinuation among patients receiving tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules [n=12 (2.4%) vs. placebo n=6 (1.2%)].. 6.2 Post-marketing Experience. The following events have been reported in association with tolterodine use in worldwide post-marketing experience:General: anaphylaxis and angioedema; Cardiovascular: tachycardia, palpitations, peripheral edema; Gastrointestinal: diarrhea; Central/Peripheral Nervous: confusion, disorientation, memory impairment, hallucinations.Reports of aggravation of symptoms of dementia (e.g., confusion, disorientation, delusion) have been reported after tolterodine therapy was initiated in patients taking cholinesterase inhibitors for the treatment of dementia.Because these spontaneously reported events are from the worldwide post-marketing experience, the frequency of events and the role of tolterodine in their causation cannot be reliably determined.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenicity studies with tolterodine were conducted in mice and rats. At the maximum tolerated dose in mice (30 mg/kg/day), female rats (20 mg/kg/day), and male rats (30 mg/kg/day), exposure margins were approximately to times, times, and 11 times the clinical exposure to the pharmacologically active components of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules (based on AUC of tolterodine and its 5-HMT metabolite). At these exposure margins, no increase in tumors was found in either mice or rats.No mutagenic or genotoxic effects of tolterodine were detected in battery of in vitro tests, including bacterial mutation assays (Ames test) in strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in strains of Escherichia coli, gene mutation assay in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, and chromosomal aberration tests in human lymphocytes. Tolterodine was also negative in vivo in the bone marrow micronucleus test in the mouse.In female mice treated for weeks before mating and during gestation with 20 mg/kg/day (about to 12 times the clinical exposure via AUC), neither effects on reproductive performance or fertility were seen. In male mice, dose of 30 mg/kg/day did not induce any adverse effects on fertility.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Tolterodine acts as competitive antagonist of acetylcholine at postganglionic muscarinic receptors. Both urinary bladder contraction and salivation are mediated via cholinergic muscarinic receptors.After oral administration, tolterodine is metabolized in the liver, resulting in the formation of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT), the major pharmacologically active metabolite. 5-HMT, which exhibits an antimuscarinic activity similar to that of tolterodine, contributes significantly to the therapeutic effect. Both tolterodine and 5-HMT exhibit high specificity for muscarinic receptors, since both show negligible activity or affinity for other neurotransmitter receptors and other potential cellular targets, such as calcium channels.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Tolterodine has pronounced effect on bladder function. Effects on urodynamic parameters before and and hours after single 6.4 mg dose of tolterodine immediate release were determined in healthy volunteers. The main effects of tolterodine at and hours were an increase in residual urine, reflecting an incomplete emptying of the bladder, and decrease in detrusor pressure. These findings are consistent with an antimuscarinic action on the lower urinary tract.Cardiac ElectrophysiologyThe effect of mg BID and mg BID of tolterodine tartrate immediate release (tolterodine IR) tablets on the QT interval was evaluated in 4 way crossover, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg QD) study in healthy male (N=25) and female (N=23) volunteers aged 18 to 55 years. Study subjects [approximately equal representation of CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (EMs) and poor metabolizers (PMs)] completed sequential day periods of dosing with moxifloxacin 400 mg QD, tolterodine mg BID, tolterodine mg BID, and placebo. The mg BID dose of tolterodine IR (two times the highest recommended dose) was chosen because this dose results in tolterodine exposure similar to that observed upon coadministration of tolterodine mg BID with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers [see DRUG INTERACTIONS (7.2)]. QT interval was measured over 12-hour period following dosing, including the time of peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of tolterodine and at steady state (Day of dosing).Table summarizes the mean change from baseline to steady state in corrected QT interval (QTc) relative to placebo at the time of peak tolterodine (1 hour) and moxifloxacin (2 hour) concentrations. Both Fridericias (QTcF) and population-specific (QTcP) method were used to correct QT interval for heart rate. No single QT correction method is known to be more valid than others. QT interval was measured manually and by machine, and data from both are presented. The mean increase of heart rate associated with 4 mg/day dose of tolterodine in this study was 2.0 beats/minute and 6.3 beats/minute with mg/day tolterodine. The change in heart rate with moxifloxacin was 0.5 beats/minute.Table 2.

The effect of tolterodine mg/day was not as large as that observed after four days of therapeutic dosing with the active control moxifloxacin. However, the confidence intervals overlapped.Tolterodines effect on QT interval was found to correlate with plasma concentration of tolterodine. There appeared to be greater QTc interval increase in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers than in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers after tolterodine treatment in this study.This study was not designed to make direct statistical comparisons between drugs or dose levels. There has been no association of Torsade de Pointes in the international post-marketing experience with tolterodine tartrate tablets or tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.7)].. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Absorption: In study with 14C-tolterodine solution in healthy volunteers who received 5 mg oral dose, at least 77% of the radiolabeled dose was absorbed. Cmax and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) determined after dosage of tolterodine immediate release are dose-proportional over the range of to mg. Based on the sum of unbound serum concentrations of tolterodine and 5-HMT (active moiety), the AUC of tolterodine extended release mg daily is equivalent to tolterodine immediate release mg (2 mg bid). Cmax and Cmin levels of tolterodine extended release are about 75% and 150% of tolterodine immediate release, respectively. Maximum serum concentrations of tolterodine extended release are observed to hours after dose administration.Effect of Food: There is no effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of tolterodine extended release.Distribution: Tolterodine is highly bound to plasma proteins, primarily 1-acid glycoprotein. Unbound concentrations of tolterodine average 3.7% +- 0.13% over the concentration range achieved in clinical studies. 5-HMT is not extensively protein bound, with unbound fraction concentrations averaging 36% +- 4.0%. The blood to serum ratio of tolterodine and 5-HMT averages 0.6 and 0.8, respectively, indicating that these compounds do not distribute extensively into erythrocytes. The volume of distribution of tolterodine following administration of 1.28 mg intravenous dose is 113 +- 26.7 L.Metabolism: Tolterodine is extensively metabolized by the liver following oral dosing. The primary metabolic route involves the oxidation of the 5-methyl group and is mediated by the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and leads to the formation of pharmacologically active metabolite, 5-HMT. Further metabolism leads to formation of the 5-carboxylic acid and N-dealkylated 5-carboxylic acid metabolites, which account for 51% +- 14% and 29% +- 6.3% of the metabolites recovered in the urine, respectively.Variability in Metabolism: subset of individuals (approximately 7% of Caucasians and approximately 2% of African Americans) are poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, the enzyme responsible for the formation of 5-HMT from tolterodine. The identified pathway of metabolism for these individuals (poor metabolizers) is dealkylation via cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) to N-dealkylated tolterodine. The remainder of the population is referred to as extensive metabolizers. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that tolterodine is metabolized at slower rate in poor metabolizers than in extensive metabolizers; this results in significantly higher serum concentrations of tolterodine and in negligible concentrations of 5-HMT.Excretion: Following administration of 5 mg oral dose of 14C-tolterodine solution to healthy volunteers, 77% of radioactivity was recovered in urine and 17% was recovered in feces in days. Less than 1% (<2.5% in poor metabolizers) of the dose was recovered as intact tolterodine, and 5% to 14% (<1% in poor metabolizers) was recovered as 5-HMT.A summary of mean (+- standard deviation) pharmacokinetic parameters of tolterodine extended release and 5-HMT in extensive (EM) and poor (PM) metabolizers is provided in Table 3. These data were obtained following single and multiple doses of tolterodine extended release administered daily to 17 healthy male volunteers (13 EM, PM).Table 3.

In study to assess the effect of fluoxetine on the pharmacokinetics of tolterodine immediate release and its metabolites, it was observed that fluoxetine significantly inhibited the metabolism of tolterodine immediate release in extensive metabolizers, resulting in 4.8 fold increase in tolterodine AUC. There was 52% decrease in Cmax and 20% decrease in AUC of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT, the pharmacologically active metabolite of tolterodine). Fluoxetine thus alters the pharmacokinetics in patients who would otherwise be CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers of tolterodine immediate release to resemble the pharmacokinetic profile in poor metabolizers. The sums of unbound serum concentrations of tolterodine immediate release and 5-HMT are only 25% higher during the interaction. No dose adjustment is required when tolterodine and fluoxetine are co-administered.Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors: The effect of 200 mg daily dose of ketoconazole on the pharmacokinetics of tolterodine immediate release was studied in healthy volunteers, all of whom were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. In the presence of ketoconazole, the mean Cmax and AUC of tolterodine increased by 2- and 2.5-fold, respectively. Based on these findings, other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors may also lead to increases of tolterodine plasma concentrations.For patients receiving ketoconazole or other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, miconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir, the recommended dose of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules is mg daily [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (2.3)].Warfarin: In healthy volunteers, coadministration of tolterodine immediate release mg (2 mg bid) for days and single dose of warfarin 25 mg on day had no effect on prothrombin time, Factor VII suppression, or on the pharmacokinetics of warfarin.Oral Contraceptives: Tolterodine immediate release mg (2 mg bid) had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of an oral contraceptive (ethinyl estradiol 30 mcg/levo-norgestrel 150 mcg) as evidenced by the monitoring of ethinyl estradiol and levo-norgestrel over 2 month period in healthy female volunteers.Diuretics: Coadministration of tolterodine immediate release up to mg (4 mg bid) for up to 12 weeks with diuretic agents, such as indapamide, hydrochlorothiazide, triamterene, bendroflumethiazide, chlorothiazide, methylchlorothiazide, or furosemide, did not cause any adverse electrocardiographic (ECG) effects.Effect of tolterodine on other drugs metabolized by Cytochrome P450 enzymes: Tolterodine immediate release does not cause clinically significant interactions with other drugs metabolized by the major drug-metabolizing CYP enzymes. In vivo drug-interaction data show that tolterodine immediate release does not result in clinically relevant inhibition of CYP1A2, 2D6, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4 as evidenced by lack of influence on the marker drugs caffeine, debrisoquine, S-warfarin, and omeprazole. In vitro data show that tolterodine immediate release is competitive inhibitor of CYP2D6 at high concentrations (Ki 1.05 uM), while tolterodine immediate release as well as the 5-HMT are devoid of any significant inhibitory potential regarding the other isoenzymes.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. Tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, mg were evaluated in 29 patients in Phase dose-effect study. Tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, mg were evaluated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence and frequency in randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, double-blind, Phase 3, 12 week study. total of 507 patients received tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, mg once daily in the morning and 508 received placebo. The majority of patients were Caucasian (95%) and female (81%), with mean age of 61 years (range, 20 to 93 years). In the study, 642 patients (42%) were 65 to 93 years of age.

(7.6). 7.1 Potent CYP2D6 Inhibitors. Fluoxetine, potent inhibitor of CYP2D6 activity, significantly inhibited the metabolism of tolterodine immediate release in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers, resulting in 4.8 fold increase in tolterodine AUC. There was 52% decrease in Cmax and 20% decrease in AUC of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT), the pharmacologically active metabolite of tolterodine [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.1)]. The sums of unbound serum concentrations of tolterodine and 5-HMT are only 25% higher during the interaction. No dose adjustment is required when tolterodine and fluoxetine are co-administered [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.3)].. 7.2 Potent CYP3A4 Inhibitors. Ketoconazole (200 mg daily), potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, increased the mean Cmax and AUC of tolterodine by and 2.5 fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers.For patients receiving ketoconazole or other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, clarithromycin, or ritonavir, the recommended dose of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules is mg once daily [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (2.2) and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.3)].. 7.3 Other Interactions.

GERIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.5 Geriatric Use. No overall differences in safety were observed between the older and younger patients treated with tolterodine.In multiple-dose studies in which tolterodine immediate release mg (2 mg bid) was administered, serum concentrations of tolterodine and of 5-HMT were similar in healthy elderly volunteers (aged 64 through 80 years) and healthy young volunteers (aged less than 40 years). In another clinical study, elderly volunteers (aged 71 through 81 years) were given tolterodine immediate release or mg (1 or mg bid). Mean serum concentrations of tolterodine and 5-HMT in these elderly volunteers were approximately 20% and 50% higher, respectively, than concentrations reported in young healthy volunteers. However, no overall differences were observed in safety between older and younger patients on tolterodine in the Phase 3, 12 week, controlled clinical studies; therefore, no tolterodine dosage adjustment for elderly patients is recommended.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. Tolterodine acts as competitive antagonist of acetylcholine at postganglionic muscarinic receptors. Both urinary bladder contraction and salivation are mediated via cholinergic muscarinic receptors.After oral administration, tolterodine is metabolized in the liver, resulting in the formation of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT), the major pharmacologically active metabolite. 5-HMT, which exhibits an antimuscarinic activity similar to that of tolterodine, contributes significantly to the therapeutic effect. Both tolterodine and 5-HMT exhibit high specificity for muscarinic receptors, since both show negligible activity or affinity for other neurotransmitter receptors and other potential cellular targets, such as calcium channels.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenicity studies with tolterodine were conducted in mice and rats. At the maximum tolerated dose in mice (30 mg/kg/day), female rats (20 mg/kg/day), and male rats (30 mg/kg/day), exposure margins were approximately to times, times, and 11 times the clinical exposure to the pharmacologically active components of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules (based on AUC of tolterodine and its 5-HMT metabolite). At these exposure margins, no increase in tumors was found in either mice or rats.No mutagenic or genotoxic effects of tolterodine were detected in battery of in vitro tests, including bacterial mutation assays (Ames test) in strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in strains of Escherichia coli, gene mutation assay in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, and chromosomal aberration tests in human lymphocytes. Tolterodine was also negative in vivo in the bone marrow micronucleus test in the mouse.In female mice treated for weeks before mating and during gestation with 20 mg/kg/day (about to 12 times the clinical exposure via AUC), neither effects on reproductive performance or fertility were seen. In male mice, dose of 30 mg/kg/day did not induce any adverse effects on fertility.

NURSING MOTHERS SECTION.


8.2 Lactation. Risk Summary There is no information on the presence of tolterodine or its 5-HMT metabolite in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Based on limited data, tolterodine is excreted into the milk in mice in low amounts (see Data). The development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules or from the underlying maternal condition. Animal Data The use of radiolabeled tolterodine in pregnant mice produced milk: plasma ratios that ranged between 0.0 and 0.7.

OVERDOSAGE SECTION.


10 OVERDOSAGE. Overdosage with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules can potentially result in severe central anticholinergic effects and should be treated accordingly.ECG monitoring is recommended in the event of overdosage. In dogs, changes in the QT interval (slight prolongation of 10% to 20%) were observed at suprapharmacologic dose of 4.5 mg/kg, which is about 68 times higher than the recommended human dose. In clinical trials of normal volunteers and patients, QT interval prolongation was observed with tolterodine immediate release at doses up to mg (4 mg bid) and higher doses were not evaluated [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.9) and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.2)].A 27-month-old child who ingested to tolterodine immediate release mg tablets was treated with suspension of activated charcoal and was hospitalized overnight with symptoms of dry mouth. The child fully recovered.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.4 Pediatric Use. The effectiveness of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules has not been established in pediatric patients.Efficacy was not established in two randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 12-week studies that enrolled 710 pediatric patients (486 on tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, 224 on placebo) aged to 10 years with urinary frequency and urge incontinence. The percentage of patients with urinary tract infections was higher in patients treated with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules (6.6%) compared to patients who received placebo (4.5%). Aggressive, abnormal, and hyperactive behavior and attention disorders occurred in 2.9% of children treated with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules compared to 0.9% of children treated with placebo.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Tolterodine has pronounced effect on bladder function. Effects on urodynamic parameters before and and hours after single 6.4 mg dose of tolterodine immediate release were determined in healthy volunteers. The main effects of tolterodine at and hours were an increase in residual urine, reflecting an incomplete emptying of the bladder, and decrease in detrusor pressure. These findings are consistent with an antimuscarinic action on the lower urinary tract.Cardiac ElectrophysiologyThe effect of mg BID and mg BID of tolterodine tartrate immediate release (tolterodine IR) tablets on the QT interval was evaluated in 4 way crossover, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg QD) study in healthy male (N=25) and female (N=23) volunteers aged 18 to 55 years. Study subjects [approximately equal representation of CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (EMs) and poor metabolizers (PMs)] completed sequential day periods of dosing with moxifloxacin 400 mg QD, tolterodine mg BID, tolterodine mg BID, and placebo. The mg BID dose of tolterodine IR (two times the highest recommended dose) was chosen because this dose results in tolterodine exposure similar to that observed upon coadministration of tolterodine mg BID with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers [see DRUG INTERACTIONS (7.2)]. QT interval was measured over 12-hour period following dosing, including the time of peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of tolterodine and at steady state (Day of dosing).Table summarizes the mean change from baseline to steady state in corrected QT interval (QTc) relative to placebo at the time of peak tolterodine (1 hour) and moxifloxacin (2 hour) concentrations. Both Fridericias (QTcF) and population-specific (QTcP) method were used to correct QT interval for heart rate. No single QT correction method is known to be more valid than others. QT interval was measured manually and by machine, and data from both are presented. The mean increase of heart rate associated with 4 mg/day dose of tolterodine in this study was 2.0 beats/minute and 6.3 beats/minute with mg/day tolterodine. The change in heart rate with moxifloxacin was 0.5 beats/minute.Table 2.

The effect of tolterodine mg/day was not as large as that observed after four days of therapeutic dosing with the active control moxifloxacin. However, the confidence intervals overlapped.Tolterodines effect on QT interval was found to correlate with plasma concentration of tolterodine. There appeared to be greater QTc interval increase in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers than in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers after tolterodine treatment in this study.This study was not designed to make direct statistical comparisons between drugs or dose levels. There has been no association of Torsade de Pointes in the international post-marketing experience with tolterodine tartrate tablets or tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.7)].

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Absorption: In study with 14C-tolterodine solution in healthy volunteers who received 5 mg oral dose, at least 77% of the radiolabeled dose was absorbed. Cmax and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) determined after dosage of tolterodine immediate release are dose-proportional over the range of to mg. Based on the sum of unbound serum concentrations of tolterodine and 5-HMT (active moiety), the AUC of tolterodine extended release mg daily is equivalent to tolterodine immediate release mg (2 mg bid). Cmax and Cmin levels of tolterodine extended release are about 75% and 150% of tolterodine immediate release, respectively. Maximum serum concentrations of tolterodine extended release are observed to hours after dose administration.Effect of Food: There is no effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of tolterodine extended release.Distribution: Tolterodine is highly bound to plasma proteins, primarily 1-acid glycoprotein. Unbound concentrations of tolterodine average 3.7% +- 0.13% over the concentration range achieved in clinical studies. 5-HMT is not extensively protein bound, with unbound fraction concentrations averaging 36% +- 4.0%. The blood to serum ratio of tolterodine and 5-HMT averages 0.6 and 0.8, respectively, indicating that these compounds do not distribute extensively into erythrocytes. The volume of distribution of tolterodine following administration of 1.28 mg intravenous dose is 113 +- 26.7 L.Metabolism: Tolterodine is extensively metabolized by the liver following oral dosing. The primary metabolic route involves the oxidation of the 5-methyl group and is mediated by the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and leads to the formation of pharmacologically active metabolite, 5-HMT. Further metabolism leads to formation of the 5-carboxylic acid and N-dealkylated 5-carboxylic acid metabolites, which account for 51% +- 14% and 29% +- 6.3% of the metabolites recovered in the urine, respectively.Variability in Metabolism: subset of individuals (approximately 7% of Caucasians and approximately 2% of African Americans) are poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, the enzyme responsible for the formation of 5-HMT from tolterodine. The identified pathway of metabolism for these individuals (poor metabolizers) is dealkylation via cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) to N-dealkylated tolterodine. The remainder of the population is referred to as extensive metabolizers. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that tolterodine is metabolized at slower rate in poor metabolizers than in extensive metabolizers; this results in significantly higher serum concentrations of tolterodine and in negligible concentrations of 5-HMT.Excretion: Following administration of 5 mg oral dose of 14C-tolterodine solution to healthy volunteers, 77% of radioactivity was recovered in urine and 17% was recovered in feces in days. Less than 1% (<2.5% in poor metabolizers) of the dose was recovered as intact tolterodine, and 5% to 14% (<1% in poor metabolizers) was recovered as 5-HMT.A summary of mean (+- standard deviation) pharmacokinetic parameters of tolterodine extended release and 5-HMT in extensive (EM) and poor (PM) metabolizers is provided in Table 3. These data were obtained following single and multiple doses of tolterodine extended release administered daily to 17 healthy male volunteers (13 EM, PM).Table 3.

In study to assess the effect of fluoxetine on the pharmacokinetics of tolterodine immediate release and its metabolites, it was observed that fluoxetine significantly inhibited the metabolism of tolterodine immediate release in extensive metabolizers, resulting in 4.8 fold increase in tolterodine AUC. There was 52% decrease in Cmax and 20% decrease in AUC of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT, the pharmacologically active metabolite of tolterodine). Fluoxetine thus alters the pharmacokinetics in patients who would otherwise be CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers of tolterodine immediate release to resemble the pharmacokinetic profile in poor metabolizers. The sums of unbound serum concentrations of tolterodine immediate release and 5-HMT are only 25% higher during the interaction. No dose adjustment is required when tolterodine and fluoxetine are co-administered.Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors: The effect of 200 mg daily dose of ketoconazole on the pharmacokinetics of tolterodine immediate release was studied in healthy volunteers, all of whom were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. In the presence of ketoconazole, the mean Cmax and AUC of tolterodine increased by 2- and 2.5-fold, respectively. Based on these findings, other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors may also lead to increases of tolterodine plasma concentrations.For patients receiving ketoconazole or other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, miconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir, the recommended dose of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules is mg daily [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (2.3)].Warfarin: In healthy volunteers, coadministration of tolterodine immediate release mg (2 mg bid) for days and single dose of warfarin 25 mg on day had no effect on prothrombin time, Factor VII suppression, or on the pharmacokinetics of warfarin.Oral Contraceptives: Tolterodine immediate release mg (2 mg bid) had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of an oral contraceptive (ethinyl estradiol 30 mcg/levo-norgestrel 150 mcg) as evidenced by the monitoring of ethinyl estradiol and levo-norgestrel over 2 month period in healthy female volunteers.Diuretics: Coadministration of tolterodine immediate release up to mg (4 mg bid) for up to 12 weeks with diuretic agents, such as indapamide, hydrochlorothiazide, triamterene, bendroflumethiazide, chlorothiazide, methylchlorothiazide, or furosemide, did not cause any adverse electrocardiographic (ECG) effects.Effect of tolterodine on other drugs metabolized by Cytochrome P450 enzymes: Tolterodine immediate release does not cause clinically significant interactions with other drugs metabolized by the major drug-metabolizing CYP enzymes. In vivo drug-interaction data show that tolterodine immediate release does not result in clinically relevant inhibition of CYP1A2, 2D6, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4 as evidenced by lack of influence on the marker drugs caffeine, debrisoquine, S-warfarin, and omeprazole. In vitro data show that tolterodine immediate release is competitive inhibitor of CYP2D6 at high concentrations (Ki 1.05 uM), while tolterodine immediate release as well as the 5-HMT are devoid of any significant inhibitory potential regarding the other isoenzymes.

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryThere are no available data with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risks. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of tolterodine and its 5-HMT metabolite to pregnant mice during organogenesis did not produce adverse developmental outcomes at doses approximately to 12 times the clinical exposure at dose of 20 mg/kg/day; however, higher doses produced adverse developmental outcomes (see Data).In the U.S. general population, the estimated background rate of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.DataAnimal DataNo anomalies or malformations were observed after oral administration of tolterodine to pregnant mice during organogenesis at approximately to 12 times the clinical exposure to the pharmacologically active components of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules (based on the AUC of tolterodine and its 5-HMT metabolite at dose of 20 mg/kg/day). At 14 to 18 times the clinical exposure (doses of 30 to 40 mg/kg/day) in mice, tolterodine was embryo-lethal, caused reduced fetal weight, and increased the incidence of fetal abnormalities (cleft palate, digital abnormalities, intra-abdominal hemorrhage, and various skeletal abnormalities, primarily reduced ossification). Pregnant rabbits administered tolterodine subcutaneously at about 0.3 to 2.5 times the clinical exposure (dose of 0.8 mg/kg/day) did not show any embryotoxicity or teratogenicity.

Pregnant rabbits administered tolterodine subcutaneously at about 0.3 to 2.5 times the clinical exposure (dose of 0.8 mg/kg/day) did not show any embryotoxicity or teratogenicity.. 8.2 Lactation. Risk Summary There is no information on the presence of tolterodine or its 5-HMT metabolite in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Based on limited data, tolterodine is excreted into the milk in mice in low amounts (see Data). The development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules or from the underlying maternal condition. Animal Data The use of radiolabeled tolterodine in pregnant mice produced milk: plasma ratios that ranged between 0.0 and 0.7.. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The effectiveness of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules has not been established in pediatric patients.Efficacy was not established in two randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 12-week studies that enrolled 710 pediatric patients (486 on tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, 224 on placebo) aged to 10 years with urinary frequency and urge incontinence. The percentage of patients with urinary tract infections was higher in patients treated with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules (6.6%) compared to patients who received placebo (4.5%). Aggressive, abnormal, and hyperactive behavior and attention disorders occurred in 2.9% of children treated with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules compared to 0.9% of children treated with placebo.. 8.5 Geriatric Use. No overall differences in safety were observed between the older and younger patients treated with tolterodine.In multiple-dose studies in which tolterodine immediate release mg (2 mg bid) was administered, serum concentrations of tolterodine and of 5-HMT were similar in healthy elderly volunteers (aged 64 through 80 years) and healthy young volunteers (aged less than 40 years). In another clinical study, elderly volunteers (aged 71 through 81 years) were given tolterodine immediate release or mg (1 or mg bid). Mean serum concentrations of tolterodine and 5-HMT in these elderly volunteers were approximately 20% and 50% higher, respectively, than concentrations reported in young healthy volunteers. However, no overall differences were observed in safety between older and younger patients on tolterodine in the Phase 3, 12 week, controlled clinical studies; therefore, no tolterodine dosage adjustment for elderly patients is recommended.. 8.6 Renal Impairment. Renal impairment can significantly alter the disposition of tolterodine immediate release and its metabolites. In study conducted in patients with creatinine clearance between 10 and 30 mL/min, tolterodine and 5-HMT levels were approximately to fold higher in patients with renal impairment than in healthy volunteers. Exposure levels of other metabolites of tolterodine (e.g., tolterodine acid, N-dealkylated tolterodine acid, N-dealkylated tolterodine, and N-dealkylated hydroxy tolterodine) were significantly higher (10 to 30 fold) in renally impaired patients as compared to the healthy volunteers. The recommended dose for patients with severe renal impairment (CCr: 10 to 30 mL/min) is tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, mg daily. Patients with CCr<10 mL/min have not been studied and use of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules in this population is not recommended [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (2.2) and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.6)]. Tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules have not been studied in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment [CCr 30 to 80 mL/min].. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment. Liver impairment can significantly alter the disposition of tolterodine immediate release. In study of tolterodine immediate release conducted in cirrhotic patients (Child-Pugh Class and B), the elimination half-life of tolterodine immediate release was longer in cirrhotic patients (mean, 7.8 hours) than in healthy, young, and elderly volunteers (mean, to hours). The clearance of orally administered tolterodine immediate release was substantially lower in cirrhotic patients (1.0 +- 1.7 L/h/kg) than in the healthy volunteers (5.7 +- 3.8 L/h/kg). The recommended dose for patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class or B) is tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, mg once daily. Tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules are not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (2.2) and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.6)].

(5.4)Central Nervous System Effects: Somnolence has been reported with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules affect them (5.5)Myasthenia Gravis: use caution in patients with myasthenia gravis. (5.8)QT Prolongation: consider observations from the thorough QT study in clinical decisions to prescribe tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules to patients with known history of QT prolongation or to patients who are taking Class IA (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic medications. (5.9). Anaphylaxis and angioedema requiring hospitalization and emergency medical treatment have occurred with the first or subsequent doses of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules. (5.1). Urinary Retention: use caution in patients with clinically significant bladder outflow obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention. (5.2). Gastrointestinal Disorders: use caution in patients with gastrointestinal obstructive disorders or decreased gastrointestinal motility because of the risk of gastric retention. (5.3). Controlled Narrow-Angle Glaucoma: use caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma. (5.4). Central Nervous System Effects: Somnolence has been reported with tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules affect them (5.5). Myasthenia Gravis: use caution in patients with myasthenia gravis. (5.8). QT Prolongation: consider observations from the thorough QT study in clinical decisions to prescribe tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules to patients with known history of QT prolongation or to patients who are taking Class IA (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic medications. (5.9). 5.1 Angioedema. Anaphylaxis and angioedema requiring hospitalization and emergency medical treatment have occurred with the first or subsequent doses of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules. In the event of difficulty in breathing, upper airway obstruction, or fall in blood pressure, tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules should be discontinued and appropriate therapy promptly provided.. 5.2 Urinary Retention. Administer tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules with caution to patients with clinically significant bladder outflow obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention [see CONTRAINDICATIONS (4)].. 5.3 Gastrointestinal Disorders. Administer tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules with caution in patients with gastrointestinal obstructive disorders because of the risk of gastric retention.Tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules, like other antimuscarinic drugs, may decrease gastrointestinal motility and should be used with caution in patients with conditions associated with decreased gastrointestinal motility (e.g., intestinal atony) [see CONTRAINDICATIONS (4)].. 5.4 Controlled Narrow-Angle Glaucoma. Administer tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules with caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma [see CONTRAINDICATIONS (4)].. 5.5 Central Nervous System Effects. Tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules are associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) effects [see ADVERSE REACTIONS (6.2)] including dizziness and somnolence [see ADVERSE REACTIONS (6.1)]. Patients should be monitored for signs of anticholinergic CNS effects, particularly after beginning treatment or increasing the dose. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until the drugs effects have been determined. If patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects, dose reduction or drug discontinuation should be considered.. 5.6 Hepatic Impairment. The clearance of orally administered tolterodine immediate release was substantially lower in cirrhotic patients than in the healthy volunteers. For patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class or B), the recommended dose for tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules is mg once daily. Tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules are not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (2.2) and USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS (8.6)].. 5.7 Renal Impairment. Renal impairment can significantly alter the disposition of tolterodine and its metabolites. The dose of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules should be reduced to mg once daily in patients with severe renal impairment (CCr: 10 to 30 mL/min). Patients with CCr<10 mL/min have not been studied and use of tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules in this population is not recommended [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (2.2) and USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS (8.7)].. 5.8 Myasthenia Gravis. Administer tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis, disease characterized by decreased cholinergic activity at the neuromuscular junction. 5.9 Use in Patients with Congenital or Acquired QT Prolongation. In study of the effect of tolterodine immediate release tablets on the QT interval [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.2)], the effect on the QT interval appeared greater for mg/day (two times the therapeutic dose) compared to mg/day and was more pronounced in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers (PM) than extensive metabolizers (EMs). The effect of tolterodine mg/day was not as large as that observed after four days of therapeutic dosing with the active control moxifloxacin. However, the confidence intervals overlapped.These observations should be considered in clinical decisions to prescribe tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules to patients with known history of QT prolongation or to patients who are taking Class IA (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic medications. There has been no association of Torsade de Pointes in the international post-marketing experience with tolterodine tartrate tablets or tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules.
