DESCRIPTION SECTION.

11 DESCRIPTION. Noxivent(TM) (nitric oxide gas) is drug administered by inhalation. Nitric oxide, the active substance in Noxivent(TM), is pulmonary vasodilator. Noxivent(TM) is gaseous blend of nitric oxide and nitrogen (0.08% and 99.92%, respectively for 800 ppm; 0.01% and 99.99%, respectively for 100 ppm). Noxivent(TM) is supplied in aluminum cylinders as compressed gas under high pressure (2000) pounds per square inch gauge [psig]).The structural formula of nitric oxide (NO) is shown below:. formula.

HOW SUPPLIED SECTION.

16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING. Noxivent(TM) (nitric oxide) is available in the following sizes: Size AD Portable aluminum cylinders containing 362 liters at STP of nitric oxide gas in 800 ppm concentration in nitrogen (delivered volume 323 liters) (NDC 59579-102-02) Size AQ Aluminum cylinders containing 2154 liters at STP of nitric oxide gas in 800 ppm concentration in nitrogen (delivered volume 2082 liters) (NDC 59579-102-01) Size AD Portable aluminum cylinders containing 362 liters at STP of nitric oxide gas in 100 ppm concentration in nitrogen (delivered volume 323 liters) (NDC 59579-101-02) Size AQ Aluminum cylinders containing 2154 liters at STP of nitric oxide gas in 100 ppmconcentration in nitrogen (delivered volume 2082 liters) (NDC 59579-101-01)Store at 25C (77F) with excursions permitted between 15-30C (59-86F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].All regulations concerning handling of pressure vessels must be followed. Protect the cylinders from shocks, falls, oxidizing and flammable materials, moisture, and sources of heat or ignition.Occupational ExposureThe exposure limit set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for nitric oxide is 25 ppm, and for NO2 the limit is ppm.

INDICATIONS & USAGE SECTION.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Noxivent(TM) is vasodilator indicated to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in term and near-term (>34 weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension in conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate agents.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of FertilityNo evidence of carcinogenic effect was apparent, at inhalation exposures up to the recommended dose (20 ppm), in rats for 20 hr/day for up to two years. Higher exposures have not been investigated.Nitric oxide has demonstrated genotoxicity in Salmonella (Ames Test), human lymphocytes, and after in vivo exposure in rats. There are no animal or human studies to evaluate nitric oxide for effects on fertility.

OVERDOSAGE SECTION.

10 OVERDOSAGE. Overdosage with Noxivent(TM) is manifest by elevations in methemoglobin and pulmonary toxicities associated with inspired NO2. Elevated NO2 may cause acute lung injury. Elevations in methemoglobin reduce the oxygen delivery capacity of the circulation. In clinical studies, NO2 levels >3 ppm or methemoglobin levels >7% were treated by reducing the dose of, or discontinuing, nitric oxide. Methemoglobinemia that does not resolve after reduction or discontinuation of therapy can be treated with intravenous vitamin C, intravenous methylene blue, or blood transfusion, based upon the clinical situation.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. Rebound: Abrupt discontinuation of Noxivent(TM) may lead to worsening oxygenation and increasing pulmonary artery pressure (5.1).Methemoglobinemia: Methemoglobin increases with the dose of nitric oxide; following discontinuation or reduction of nitric oxide, methemoglobin levels return to baseline over period of hours (5.2).Elevated NO2 Levels: Monitor NO2 levels (5.3).Heart Failure: In patients with pre-existing left ventricular dysfunction, Noxivent(TM) may increase pulmonary capillary wedge pressure leading to pulmonary edema (5. 4).
