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.XERAVA was evaluated in active-controlled clinical trials (Trial 1, Trial 2, and Trial 3) in adults with cIAI. These trials included two Phase trials (Trial and Trial 2) and one Phase trial (Trial 3, NCT01265784). The Phase trials included 520 patients treated with XERAVA and 517 patients treated with comparator antibacterial drugs (ertapenem or meropenem). The median age of patients treated with XERAVA was 56 years, ranging between 18 and 93 years old; 30% were age 65 years and older. Patients treated with XERAVA were predominantly male (57%) and Caucasian (98%). The XERAVA-treated population included 31% obese patients (BMI >= 30 kg/m 2) and 8% with baseline moderate to severe renal impairment (calculated creatinine clearance 15 to less than 60 mL/min). Among the trials, 66 (13%) of patients had baseline moderate hepatic impairment (Child Pugh B); patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh C) were excluded from the trials. Adverse Reactions Leading to DiscontinuationTreatment discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2% (11/520) of patients receiving XERAVA and 2% (11/517) of patients receiving the comparator. The most commonly reported adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of XERAVA were related to gastrointestinal disorders.Most Common Adverse ReactionsAdverse reactions occurring at 3% or greater in patients receiving XERAVA were infusion site reactions, nausea, and vomiting.Table lists adverse reactions occurring in >= 1% of patients receiving XERAVA and with incidences greater than the comparator in the Phase cIAI clinical trials. similar adverse reaction profile was observed in the Phase cIAI clinical trial (Trial 3).Table 1.

ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.
13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In repeated dose toxicity studies in rats, dogs and monkeys, lymphoid depletion/atrophy of lymph nodes, spleen and thymus, decreased erythrocytes, reticulocytes, leukocytes, and platelets (dog and monkey), in association with bone marrow hypocellularity, and adverse gastrointestinal effects (dog and monkey) were observed with eravacycline. These findings were reversible or partially reversible during recovery periods of to weeks.Bone discoloration, which was not fully reversible over recovery periods of up to weeks, was observed in rats and monkeys after 13 weeks of dosing and in the juvenile rat study after dosing over post-natal days 21-70.Intravenous administration of eravacycline has been associated with histamine response in rat and dog studies.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity studies with eravacycline have not been conducted. However, there has been evidence of oncogenic activity in rats in studies with the related antibacterial drugs, oxytetracycline (adrenal and pituitary tumors) and minocycline (thyroid tumors). Eravacycline was not genotoxic in standard battery of assays, including an in vitro mammalian cell mutation assay, an in vitro clastogenicity assay, and an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.There are no human data on the effect of eravacycline on fertility. Eravacycline did not affect mating or fertility in male rats following intravenous administration at dose approximating clinical dose of 0.65 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.5 times the clinical exposure, based on AUC determined in separate study), however, eravacycline administration at higher doses was associated with adverse reactions on male fertility and spermatogenesis that were at least partially reversible after 70-day recovery period (1 spermatogenic cycle). Decreased sperm counts, abnormal sperm morphology, and reduced sperm motility were observed with testicular effects (impaired spermiation and sperm maturation). There were no adverse reactions on mating or fertility in female rats administered intravenous eravacycline at dose approximating clinical dose of 3.2 mg/kg/day (approximately 18 times the clinical exposure based on AUC determined in separate study in unmated females).Decreased sperm counts and eravacycline-related lesions noted in the testes and epididymides were seen in general toxicology studies in rats and were reversible. These findings were anticipated effects for tetracycline-class compound.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Eravacycline is an antibacterial drug [see Microbiology 12.4)] . 12.2 Pharmacodynamics The AUC divided by the MIC of eravacycline has been shown to be the best predictor of activity. Based on the flat exposure-response relationship observed in clinical studies, eravacycline exposure achieved with the recommended dosage regimen appears to be on the plateau of the exposure-response curve. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyThe effect of XERAVA on the QTc interval was evaluated in Phase randomized, placebo and positive controlled, double-blind, single-dose, crossover thorough QTc study in 60 healthy adult subjects. At the 1.5 mg/kg single dose (1.5 times the maximum approved recommended dose), XERAVA did not prolong the QTc interval to any clinically relevant extent.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Following single-dose intravenous administration, eravacycline AUC and max increase approximately dose-proportionally over doses from mg/kg to mg/kg (3 times the approved dose). The mean exposure of eravacycline after single and multiple intravenous infusions (approximately 60 minutes) of mg/kg administered to healthy adults every 12 hours is presented in Table 2. There is approximately 45% accumulation following intravenous dosing of mg/kg every 12 hours.Table Mean (%CV) Plasma Exposure of Eravacycline After Single and Multiple Intravenous Dose in Healthy AdultsAbbreviations: max maximum observed plasma concentration, CV coefficient of variation; AUC 0-12 area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time to 12 hours. AUC of day equals AUC 0-12 after the first dose of eravacycline. AUC of day 10 equals steady state AUC 0-12. Exposure [Arithmetic Mean (%CV)]C max (ng/mL) AUC 0-12 (ngh/mL) Day 12125 (15)4305 (14) Day 101825 (16)6309 (15) DistributionProtein binding of eravacycline to human plasma proteins increases with increasing plasma concentrations, with 79% to 90% (bound) at plasma concentrations ranging from 100 to 10,000 ng/mL. The volume of distribution at steady-state is approximately 321 L. EliminationThe mean elimination half-life is 20 hours. MetabolismEravacycline is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4- and FMO-mediated oxidation. ExcretionFollowing single intravenous dose of radiolabeled eravacycline 60 mg, approximately 34% of the dose is excreted in urine and 47% in feces as unchanged eravacycline (20% in urine and 17% in feces) and metabolites.Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of eravacycline were observed based on age (18-86 years), sex, and race.Patients with Renal Impairment The geometric least square mean max for eravacycline was increased by 8.8% for subjects with end stage renal disease (ESRD) versus healthy subjects with 90% CI -19.4, 45.2. The geometric least square mean AUC 0-inf for eravacycline was decreased by 4.0% for subjects with ESRD versus healthy subjects with 90% CI -14.0, 12.3 [see Use in Specific Populations 8.7)] Patients with Hepatic Impairment Eravacycline max was 13.9%, 16.3%, and 19.7% higher in subjects with mild (Child-Pugh Class A), moderate (Child-Pugh Class B), and severe (Child-Pugh Class C) hepatic impairment versus healthy subjects, respectively. Eravacycline AUC 0-inf was 22.9%, 37.9%, and 110.3% higher in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment versus healthy subjects, respectively [see Dosage and Administration 2.2) and Use in Specific Populations 8.6)] Drug Interaction StudiesClinical StudiesConcomitant use of rifampin (strong CYP3A4/3A5 inducer) decreased eravacycline AUC by 35% and increased eravacycline clearance by 54% [see Dosage and Administration 2.3) and Drug Interactions 7.1)] Concomitant use of itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased eravacycline max by 5% and AUC by 32%, and decreased eravacycline clearance by 32%. In Vitro Studies Eravacycline is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 3A4/5. Eravacycline is not an inducer of CYP1A2, 2B6, or 3A4. Eravacycline is not substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), bile salt export pump (BSEP), organic anion transporter peptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3, organic ion transporter (OAT)1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, multidrug and toxin extrusion (protein) (MATE)1, or MATE2-K transporters. Eravacycline is not an inhibitor of BCRP, BSEP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, MATE1, or MATE2-K transporters.. 12.4 Microbiology Mechanism of ActionEravacycline is fluorocycline antibacterial within the tetracycline class of antibacterial drugs. Eravacycline disrupts bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit thus preventing the incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains.In general, eravacycline is bacteriostatic against gram-positive bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis); however, in vitro bactericidal activity has been demonstrated against certain strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. ResistanceEravacycline resistance in some bacteria is associated with upregulated, non-specific intrinsic multidrug-resistant (MDR) efflux, and target-site modifications such as to the 16s rRNA or certain 30S ribosomal proteins (e.g., S10).The C7 and C9 substitutions in eravacycline are not present in any naturally occurring or semisynthetic tetracyclines and the substitution pattern imparts microbiological activities including in vitro activity against gram-positive and gram-negative strains expressing certain tetracycline-specific resistance mechanism(s) [i.e., efflux mediated by tet(A), tet(B), and tet(K); ribosomal protection as encoded by tet(M) and tet(Q)]. Activity of eravacycline was demonstrated in vitro against Enterobacteriaceae in the presence of certain beta-lactamases, including extended spectrum -lactamases, and AmpC. However, some beta-lactamase-producing isolates may confer resistance to eravacycline via other resistance mechanisms. The overall frequency of spontaneous mutants in the gram-positive organisms tested was in the range of 10 -9 to 10 -10 at times the eravacycline Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). Multistep selection of gram-negative strains resulted in 16- to 32-times increase in eravacycline MIC for one isolate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, respectively. The frequency of spontaneous mutations in K. pneumoniae was 10 -7 to 10 -8 at times the eravacycline MIC. Interaction with Other AntimicrobialsIn vitro studies have not demonstrated antagonism between XERAVA and other commonly used antibacterial drugs for the indicated pathogens. Antimicrobial ActivityXERAVA has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections [see Indications and Usage 1)] Aerobic bacteria Gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus faecalis Enterococcus faecium Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus anginosus group Gram-negative bacteria Citrobacter freundii Enterobacter cloacae Escherichia coli Klebsiella oxytoca Klebsiella pneumoniae Anaerobic bacteria Gram-positive bacteria Clostridium perfringens Gram-negative bacteria Bacteroides caccae Bacteroides fragilis Bacteroides ovatus Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron Bacteroides uniformis Bacteroides vulgatus Parabacteroides distasonis The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown. At least 90 percent of the following bacteria exhibit an in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) less than or equal to the susceptible breakpoint for eravacycline against isolates of similar genus or organism group. However, the efficacy of eravacycline in treating clinical infections caused by these bacteria has not been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.Aerobic bacteria Gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus salivarius group Gram-negative bacteria Citrobacter koseri Enterobacter aerogenes Susceptibility Test MethodsFor specific information regarding susceptibility test interpretive criteria, and associated test methods and quality control standards recognized by FDA for this drug, please see https://www.fda.gov/STIC.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.2 Complicated Urinary Tract Infections (cUTI) in Adults Two randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, clinical trials (Trial 4, NCT01978938, and Trial 5, NCT03032510) evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-daily intravenous eravacycline for the treatment of patients with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI). Trial included an optional switch from IV to oral therapy with eravacycline. The trials did not demonstrate the efficacy of XERAVA for the combined endpoints of clinical cure and microbiological success in the microbiological intent-to-treat (micro-ITT) population at the test-of-cure visit [see Indications and Usage 1)] . 14.1 Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections in Adults. total of 1,041 adults hospitalized with cIAI were enrolled in two Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multinational, multicenter trials (Trial 1, NCT01844856, and Trial 2, NCT02784704). These studies compared XERAVA (1 mg/kg intravenous every 12 hours) with either ertapenem (1 every 24 hours) or meropenem (1 every hours) as the active comparator for to 14 days of therapy. Complicated intra-abdominal infections included appendicitis, cholecystitis, diverticulitis, gastric/duodenal perforation, intra-abdominal abscess, perforation of intestine, and peritonitis.The microbiologic intent-to-treat (micro-ITT) population, which included all patients who had at least one baseline intra-abdominal pathogen, consisted of 846 patients in the two trials. Populations in Trial and Trial were similar. The median age was 56 years and 56% were male. The majority of patients (95%) were from Europe; 5% were from the United States. The most common primary cIAI diagnosis was intra-abdominal abscess(es), occurring in 60% of patients. Bacteremia at baseline was present in 8% of patients.Clinical cure was defined as complete resolution or significant improvement of signs or symptoms of the index infection at the Test of Cure (TOC) visit which occurred 25 to 31 days after randomization. Selected clinical responses were reviewed by Surgical Adjudication Committee. Table presents the clinical cure rates in the micro-ITT population.

INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS SECTION.
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION. Serious Allergic ReactionsAdvise patients that allergic reactions, including serious allergic reactions, could occur and that serious reactions require immediate treatment. Ask patient about any previous hypersensitivity reactions to antibacterial drugs including tetracycline or other allergens [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1)] Tooth Discoloration and Inhibition of Bone GrowthAdvise patients that XERAVA, like other tetracycline-class drugs, may cause permanent tooth discoloration of deciduous teeth and reversible inhibition of bone growth when administered during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Advise patients that they should tell their healthcare provider right away if they become pregnant [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2, 5.3) and Use in Specific Populations 8.1, 8.4)] LactationAdvise women not to breastfeed during treatment with XERAVA and for days after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations 8.2)] DiarrheaDiarrhea is common problem caused by antibacterial drugs, including XERAVA, which usually ends when the antibacterial drug is discontinued. Sometimes after starting treatment with antibacterial drug, patients can develop watery and bloody stools (with or without stomach cramps and fever) which may be sign of more serious intestinal infection, even as late as or more months after having taken the last dose of the antibacterial drug. If this occurs, instruct patients to contact their healthcare provider as soon as possible [see Warnings and Precautions 5.4)] Tetracycline Class Adverse ReactionsInform patients that XERAVA is similar to tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs and may have similar adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions 5.5)] Overgrowth of Non-susceptible MicroorganismsInform patients that antibacterial drugs including XERAVA may promote the overgrowth of non-susceptible microorganisms, including fungi [see Warnings and Precautions 5.6)] Antibacterial ResistanceInform patients that antibacterial drugs including XERAVA should only be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (for example, the common cold). When XERAVA is prescribed to treat bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be taken exactly as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may (1) decrease the effectiveness of the immediate treatment and (2) increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by XERAVA or other antibacterial drugs in the future [see Warnings and Precautions 5.7)].

LACTATION SECTION.
8.2 Lactation Risk Summary. It is not known whether XERAVA is excreted in human breast milk. Eravacycline (and its metabolites) is excreted in the milk of lactating rats (see Data) Tetracyclines are excreted in human milk; however, the extent of absorption of tetracyclines, including eravacycline, by the breastfed infant is not known. There are no data on the effects of XERAVA on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Because there are other antibacterial drug options available to treat cIAI in lactating women and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions, including tooth discoloration and inhibition of bone growth, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with XERAVA and for days (based on half-life) after the last dose. Data. Animal DataEravacycline (and its metabolites) was excreted in the milk of lactating rats on post-natal day 15 following intravenous administration of 3, 5, and 10 mg/kg/day eravacycline.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.
12.1 Mechanism of Action Eravacycline is an antibacterial drug [see Microbiology 12.4)].
Citing DrugCentral © 2024. License
MICROBIOLOGY SECTION.
12.4 Microbiology Mechanism of ActionEravacycline is fluorocycline antibacterial within the tetracycline class of antibacterial drugs. Eravacycline disrupts bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit thus preventing the incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains.In general, eravacycline is bacteriostatic against gram-positive bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis); however, in vitro bactericidal activity has been demonstrated against certain strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. ResistanceEravacycline resistance in some bacteria is associated with upregulated, non-specific intrinsic multidrug-resistant (MDR) efflux, and target-site modifications such as to the 16s rRNA or certain 30S ribosomal proteins (e.g., S10).The C7 and C9 substitutions in eravacycline are not present in any naturally occurring or semisynthetic tetracyclines and the substitution pattern imparts microbiological activities including in vitro activity against gram-positive and gram-negative strains expressing certain tetracycline-specific resistance mechanism(s) [i.e., efflux mediated by tet(A), tet(B), and tet(K); ribosomal protection as encoded by tet(M) and tet(Q)]. Activity of eravacycline was demonstrated in vitro against Enterobacteriaceae in the presence of certain beta-lactamases, including extended spectrum -lactamases, and AmpC. However, some beta-lactamase-producing isolates may confer resistance to eravacycline via other resistance mechanisms. The overall frequency of spontaneous mutants in the gram-positive organisms tested was in the range of 10 -9 to 10 -10 at times the eravacycline Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). Multistep selection of gram-negative strains resulted in 16- to 32-times increase in eravacycline MIC for one isolate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, respectively. The frequency of spontaneous mutations in K. pneumoniae was 10 -7 to 10 -8 at times the eravacycline MIC. Interaction with Other AntimicrobialsIn vitro studies have not demonstrated antagonism between XERAVA and other commonly used antibacterial drugs for the indicated pathogens. Antimicrobial ActivityXERAVA has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections [see Indications and Usage 1)] Aerobic bacteria Gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus faecalis Enterococcus faecium Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus anginosus group Gram-negative bacteria Citrobacter freundii Enterobacter cloacae Escherichia coli Klebsiella oxytoca Klebsiella pneumoniae Anaerobic bacteria Gram-positive bacteria Clostridium perfringens Gram-negative bacteria Bacteroides caccae Bacteroides fragilis Bacteroides ovatus Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron Bacteroides uniformis Bacteroides vulgatus Parabacteroides distasonis The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown. At least 90 percent of the following bacteria exhibit an in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) less than or equal to the susceptible breakpoint for eravacycline against isolates of similar genus or organism group. However, the efficacy of eravacycline in treating clinical infections caused by these bacteria has not been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.Aerobic bacteria Gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus salivarius group Gram-negative bacteria Citrobacter koseri Enterobacter aerogenes Susceptibility Test MethodsFor specific information regarding susceptibility test interpretive criteria, and associated test methods and quality control standards recognized by FDA for this drug, please see https://www.fda.gov/STIC.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity studies with eravacycline have not been conducted. However, there has been evidence of oncogenic activity in rats in studies with the related antibacterial drugs, oxytetracycline (adrenal and pituitary tumors) and minocycline (thyroid tumors). Eravacycline was not genotoxic in standard battery of assays, including an in vitro mammalian cell mutation assay, an in vitro clastogenicity assay, and an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.There are no human data on the effect of eravacycline on fertility. Eravacycline did not affect mating or fertility in male rats following intravenous administration at dose approximating clinical dose of 0.65 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.5 times the clinical exposure, based on AUC determined in separate study), however, eravacycline administration at higher doses was associated with adverse reactions on male fertility and spermatogenesis that were at least partially reversible after 70-day recovery period (1 spermatogenic cycle). Decreased sperm counts, abnormal sperm morphology, and reduced sperm motility were observed with testicular effects (impaired spermiation and sperm maturation). There were no adverse reactions on mating or fertility in female rats administered intravenous eravacycline at dose approximating clinical dose of 3.2 mg/kg/day (approximately 18 times the clinical exposure based on AUC determined in separate study in unmated females).Decreased sperm counts and eravacycline-related lesions noted in the testes and epididymides were seen in general toxicology studies in rats and were reversible. These findings were anticipated effects for tetracycline-class compound.. 13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In repeated dose toxicity studies in rats, dogs and monkeys, lymphoid depletion/atrophy of lymph nodes, spleen and thymus, decreased erythrocytes, reticulocytes, leukocytes, and platelets (dog and monkey), in association with bone marrow hypocellularity, and adverse gastrointestinal effects (dog and monkey) were observed with eravacycline. These findings were reversible or partially reversible during recovery periods of to weeks.Bone discoloration, which was not fully reversible over recovery periods of up to weeks, was observed in rats and monkeys after 13 weeks of dosing and in the juvenile rat study after dosing over post-natal days 21-70.Intravenous administration of eravacycline has been associated with histamine response in rat and dog studies.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.
8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of XERAVA in pediatric patients have not been established. Due to the adverse effects of the tetracycline-class of drugs, including XERAVA on tooth development and bone growth, use of XERAVA in pediatric patients less than years of age is not recommended [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1, 5.2)].

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics The AUC divided by the MIC of eravacycline has been shown to be the best predictor of activity. Based on the flat exposure-response relationship observed in clinical studies, eravacycline exposure achieved with the recommended dosage regimen appears to be on the plateau of the exposure-response curve. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyThe effect of XERAVA on the QTc interval was evaluated in Phase randomized, placebo and positive controlled, double-blind, single-dose, crossover thorough QTc study in 60 healthy adult subjects. At the 1.5 mg/kg single dose (1.5 times the maximum approved recommended dose), XERAVA did not prolong the QTc interval to any clinically relevant extent.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics Following single-dose intravenous administration, eravacycline AUC and max increase approximately dose-proportionally over doses from mg/kg to mg/kg (3 times the approved dose). The mean exposure of eravacycline after single and multiple intravenous infusions (approximately 60 minutes) of mg/kg administered to healthy adults every 12 hours is presented in Table 2. There is approximately 45% accumulation following intravenous dosing of mg/kg every 12 hours.Table Mean (%CV) Plasma Exposure of Eravacycline After Single and Multiple Intravenous Dose in Healthy AdultsAbbreviations: max maximum observed plasma concentration, CV coefficient of variation; AUC 0-12 area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time to 12 hours. AUC of day equals AUC 0-12 after the first dose of eravacycline. AUC of day 10 equals steady state AUC 0-12.

The volume of distribution at steady-state is approximately 321 L. EliminationThe mean elimination half-life is 20 hours. MetabolismEravacycline is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4- and FMO-mediated oxidation. ExcretionFollowing single intravenous dose of radiolabeled eravacycline 60 mg, approximately 34% of the dose is excreted in urine and 47% in feces as unchanged eravacycline (20% in urine and 17% in feces) and metabolites.Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of eravacycline were observed based on age (18-86 years), sex, and race.Patients with Renal Impairment The geometric least square mean max for eravacycline was increased by 8.8% for subjects with end stage renal disease (ESRD) versus healthy subjects with 90% CI -19.4, 45.2. The geometric least square mean AUC 0-inf for eravacycline was decreased by 4.0% for subjects with ESRD versus healthy subjects with 90% CI -14.0, 12.3 [see Use in Specific Populations 8.7)] Patients with Hepatic Impairment Eravacycline max was 13.9%, 16.3%, and 19.7% higher in subjects with mild (Child-Pugh Class A), moderate (Child-Pugh Class B), and severe (Child-Pugh Class C) hepatic impairment versus healthy subjects, respectively. Eravacycline AUC 0-inf was 22.9%, 37.9%, and 110.3% higher in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment versus healthy subjects, respectively [see Dosage and Administration 2.2) and Use in Specific Populations 8.6)] Drug Interaction StudiesClinical StudiesConcomitant use of rifampin (strong CYP3A4/3A5 inducer) decreased eravacycline AUC by 35% and increased eravacycline clearance by 54% [see Dosage and Administration 2.3) and Drug Interactions 7.1)] Concomitant use of itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased eravacycline max by 5% and AUC by 32%, and decreased eravacycline clearance by 32%. In Vitro Studies Eravacycline is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 3A4/5. Eravacycline is not an inducer of CYP1A2, 2B6, or 3A4. Eravacycline is not substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), bile salt export pump (BSEP), organic anion transporter peptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3, organic ion transporter (OAT)1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, multidrug and toxin extrusion (protein) (MATE)1, or MATE2-K transporters. Eravacycline is not an inhibitor of BCRP, BSEP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, MATE1, or MATE2-K transporters.

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary. XERAVA, like other tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs, may cause discoloration of deciduous teeth and reversible inhibition of bone growth when administered during the second and third trimester of pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1, 5.2), Data, Use in Specific Populations 8.4)] The limited available data with XERAVA use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriages. Animal studies indicate that eravacycline crosses the placenta and is found in fetal plasma; doses greater than approximately 3- and 2.8- times the clinical exposure, based on AUC in rats and rabbits, respectively, administered during the period of organogenesis, were associated with decreased ossification, decreased fetal body weight, and/or increased post-implantation loss [see Data] The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.. Data. Animal DataEmbryo-fetal development studies in rats and rabbits reported no treatment-related effects at approximately and 2.8 times the clinical exposure (based on AUC). Dosing was during the period of organogenesis, i.e., gestation days 7-17 in rats and gestation days 7-19 in rabbits. Higher doses, approximately 8.6 and 6.3 times the clinical exposure (based on AUC) in rats and rabbits, respectively, were associated with fetal effects including increased post-implantation loss, reduced fetal body weights, and delays in skeletal ossification in both species, and abortion in the rabbit.A peri-natal and post-natal rat toxicity study demonstrated that eravacycline crosses the placenta and is found in fetal plasma following intravenous administration to the dams. This study did not demonstrate anatomical malformations, but there were early decreases in pup weight that were later comparable to controls and non-significant trend toward increased stillbirths or dead pups during lactation. F1 males from dams treated with 10 mg/kg/day eravacycline that continued to fertility testing had decreased testis and epididymis weights at approximately post-natal day 111 that may have been at least partially related to lower body weights in this group.Tetracyclines cross the placenta, are found in fetal tissues, and can have toxic effects on the developing fetus (often related to retardation of skeletal development). Evidence of embryotoxicity also has been noted in animals treated early in pregnancy.

Eravacycline (and its metabolites) is excreted in the milk of lactating rats (see Data) Tetracyclines are excreted in human milk; however, the extent of absorption of tetracyclines, including eravacycline, by the breastfed infant is not known. There are no data on the effects of XERAVA on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Because there are other antibacterial drug options available to treat cIAI in lactating women and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions, including tooth discoloration and inhibition of bone growth, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with XERAVA and for days (based on half-life) after the last dose. Data. Animal DataEravacycline (and its metabolites) was excreted in the milk of lactating rats on post-natal day 15 following intravenous administration of 3, 5, and 10 mg/kg/day eravacycline.. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Infertility. Based on animal studies, XERAVA can lead to impaired spermiation and sperm maturation, resulting in abnormal sperm morphology and poor motility. The effect is reversible in rats. The long-term effects of XERAVA on male fertility have not been studied [see Nonclinical Toxicology 13.1)] . 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of XERAVA in pediatric patients have not been established.

Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to tetracyclines. 5.1) Tooth Discoloration and Enamel Hypoplasia: The use of XERAVA during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy and childhood to the age of years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown) and enamel hypoplasia. 5.2, 8.1, 8.4) Inhibition of Bone Growth: The use of XERAVA during the second and third trimester of pregnancy, infancy and childhood up to the age of years may cause reversible inhibition of bone growth 5.3, 8.1, 8.4). Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea Evaluate if diarrhea occurs. 5.4) Hypersensitivity Reactions: Life-threatening hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions have been reported with tetracycline antibacterial drugs, including XERAVA. Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to tetracyclines. 5.1) Tooth Discoloration and Enamel Hypoplasia: The use of XERAVA during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy and childhood to the age of years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown) and enamel hypoplasia. 5.2, 8.1, 8.4) Inhibition of Bone Growth: The use of XERAVA during the second and third trimester of pregnancy, infancy and childhood up to the age of years may cause reversible inhibition of bone growth 5.3, 8.1, 8.4). Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea Evaluate if diarrhea occurs. 5.4) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Life-threatening hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions have been reported with XERAVA [see Adverse Reactions 6.1)] XERAVA is structurally similar to other tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs and should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs. Discontinue XERAVA if an allergic reaction occurs. 5.2 Tooth Discoloration and Enamel Hypoplasia The use of XERAVA during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy and childhood to the age of years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-grey-brown). This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the tetracycline class drugs, but it has been observed following repeated short-term courses. Enamel hypoplasia has also been reported with tetracycline class drugs. Advise the patient of the potential risk to the fetus if XERAVA is used during the second or third trimester of pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations 8.1, 8.4)] . 5.3 Inhibition of Bone Growth The use of XERAVA during the second and third trimester of pregnancy, infancy and childhood up to the age of years may cause reversible inhibition of bone growth. All tetracyclines form stable calcium complex in any bone-forming tissue. decrease in fibula growth rate has been observed in premature infants given oral tetracycline in doses of 25 mg/kg every hours. This reaction was shown to be reversible when the drug was discontinued. Advise the patient of the potential risk to the fetus if XERAVA is used during the second or third trimester of pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations 8.1, 8.4)] . 5.4 Clostridium difficile-Associated Diarrhea Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile. C. difficile produces toxins and which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibacterial drug use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents. If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibacterial drug use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial drug treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated. 5.6 Potential for Microbial Overgrowth XERAVA use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. If such infections occur, discontinue XERAVA and institute appropriate therapy.. 5.5 Tetracycline Class Adverse Reactions. XERAVA is structurally similar to tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs and may have similar adverse reactions. Adverse reactions including photosensitivity, pseudotumor cerebri, and anti-anabolic action which has led to increased BUN, azotemia, acidosis, hyperphosphatemia, pancreatitis, and abnormal liver function tests, have been reported for other tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs, and may occur with XERAVA. Discontinue XERAVA if any of these adverse reactions is suspected.. 5.7 Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria Prescribing XERAVA in the absence of proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria [see Indications and Usage 1.2)].
