PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.
8.4Pediatric Use. VIVJOA is contraindicated in females of reproductive potential. Based on animal studies, VIVJOA may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman or potential harm to the breastfed infant. The drug exposure window of approximately 690 days (based on times the half-life of oteseconazole) precludes adequate mitigation of the embryo-fetal toxicity risks associated with VIVJOA use [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.2, 8.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] The safety and effectiveness of VIVJOA have not been established in pre-menarchal pediatric females.

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.
6ADVERSE REACTIONS. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (incidence 2%) were headache and nausea. 6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Mycovia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-855-299-0637 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.. 6.1Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of one drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.A total of 580 patients were treated with VIVJOA in three clinical trials (Trial 1, Trial 2, and Trial 3) [see Clinical Studies (14)] Patients in the clinical trials were women with RVVC who received VIVJOA treatment for 12 weeks. The mean age of the patient population was 34 years (range:16-78 years), with 84% of patients aged 18-44 years and 16% of patients aged 45 years and older. Although females of reproductive potential were included in the clinical safety data, VIVJOA is contraindicated in females of reproductive potential due to the risk of embryo-fetal toxicity [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3, 8.4)] The clinical trials population was 75% (435/580) White, 17% (96/580) Black or African American, 6% (36/580) Asian, and 2% (13/580) Other women. Fifteen percent (86/580) of all women were Hispanic/Latino. Patients enrolled in the induction and maintenance phases of the clinical trials were treated with different VIVJOA dosage regimens versus comparators [see Clinical Studies (14)] The adverse reaction that led to discontinuation in of 580 (0.2 %) VIVJOA-treated patients was allergic dermatitis. Overall, similar percentages of serious adverse reactions and adverse reactions leading to drug discontinuation were reported across the VIVJOA and comparator patient dosing groups.The most frequently reported adverse reactions (incidence >2%) among VIVJOA-treated patients in Trial 1, Trial and Trial were headache (includes headache, migraines, sinus headaches) (7.4%) and nausea (3.6%).. Other Adverse ReactionsThe following selected adverse reactions occurred in <2% of patients receiving VIVJOA in Trial 1, Trial and Trial 3:Laboratory investigations: Increased blood creatine phosphokinase Gastrointestinal disorders: Dyspepsia Vascular disorders: Hot flush Renal and urinary disorders: Dysuria Reproductive system and breast disorders: Menorrhagia (includes genital hemorrhage, menorrhagia; menometrorrhagia; uterine hemorrhage, vaginal hemorrhage) metrorrhagia; vulvovaginal irritation (includes vulvovaginal burning sensation, vulvovaginal discomfort, and vulvovaginal pain) Laboratory investigations: Increased blood creatine phosphokinase Gastrointestinal disorders: Dyspepsia Vascular disorders: Hot flush Renal and urinary disorders: Dysuria Reproductive system and breast disorders: Menorrhagia (includes genital hemorrhage, menorrhagia; menometrorrhagia; uterine hemorrhage, vaginal hemorrhage) metrorrhagia; vulvovaginal irritation (includes vulvovaginal burning sensation, vulvovaginal discomfort, and vulvovaginal pain) Laboratory Findings. Elevations in Creatine PhosphokinaseSerum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) (an indirect marker of muscle injury/necrosis) elevations greater than or equal to 10 times the upper limit of normal were observed in 11 (1.9%) patients treated with VIVJOA versus (0.7%) patients in the comparator groups during the VIVJOA clinical trials. The elevations were transient.

ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.
13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In an oral carcinogenicity study, Sprague Dawley rats were administered doses of 0.5, 1.5, or mg/kg/day oteseconazole once daily for up to 90 weeks. The high dose was initially reduced from to mg/kg/day in males due to excess mortality. Incidences of hemorrhage were increased in the adrenals, brain, coagulating gland, ears, epididymides, head, heart, lung, nose, pancreas, pharynx, prostate, seminal vesicles, spinal cord, testes, thymus, and bladder of male Crl:CD (R)(SD) rats (after 77 weeks of dosing at about times the MRHD based on AUC comparisons). There were no increases in the incidence of hemorrhage in rats after 26 weeks at mg/kg. The clinical relevance of these findings after very high doses (5 to times the MRHD) for the lifetime of the rat remains unclear.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. CarcinogenesisThere was no increase in the incidence of tumors following daily oral administration of oteseconazole to Tg.rasH2 mice for months at doses of mg/kg/day (males) and 15 mg/kg/day (females), which are up to and 10 times, respectively, the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons.In an oral carcinogenicity study, Sprague Dawley rats were administered doses of 0.5, 1.5, or mg/kg/day oteseconazole once daily for up to 90 weeks. The high dose was initially reduced from to mg/kg/day due to excess mortality in males and reduced body weight in females. In males, an increase in the incidence in Leydig cell adenomas of the testes and thyroid follicular cell adenomas/carcinomas (combined) were increased at >=1.5 mg/kg/day (similar to the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons). In females, thyroid follicular cell adenomas and carcinomas (combined) were increased at >=1.5 mg/kg/day (similar to the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons) and thyroid carcinomas were increased at to mg/kg/day (5 times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons). The Leydig and thyroid findings are of uncertain relevance to humans.. MutagenesisOteseconazole was negative in the bacterial reverse mutation assay, in vitro chromosomal aberration assay and micronucleus assay in rats. Impairment of FertilityMale rats were administered daily oral doses of 0, 0.5, 3, or 10 mg/kg/day oteseconazole beginning 42 days prior to pairing with untreated females, through the mating and post-mating period until euthanasia on Day 76 of treatment followed by 12-week recovery period. There were no effects on reproductive and/or fertility parameters at the time of mating at 10 mg/kg/day (7 times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons). Increased incidences of abnormal sperm were observed at mg/kg/day and sperm counts were reduced at 10 mg/kg/day. Although fertility was unaffected, sperm concentration remained reduced at the end of the recovery period.Female rats were administered daily oral doses of 0, 1.5, 5, or 25 mg/kg/day oteseconazole beginning 28 days prior to cohabitation with untreated males, continuing throughout mating and through gestational day 7. Although there were no effects on estrous cyclicity, effects on reproductive and fertility parameters were observed at 25 mg/kg/day in the presence of maternal toxicity (11 times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1Mechanism of Action. Oteseconazole is an antifungal drug [see Microbiology (12.4)] . 12.2Pharmacodynamics. Oteseconazole exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response are unknown.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyAt times the maximum exposures for the recommended dose, VIVJOA does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.. 12.3Pharmacokinetics. The AUC of oteseconazole increased approximately dose proportionally while the max increased less than dose proportionally over dose range of 20 mg (0.13 times the lowest recommended dose) to 320 mg (0.53 times the highest recommended dose). The pharmacokinetic parameters of oteseconazole associated with the administration of the recommended dosing regimen of VIVJOA are presented in Table 1. Table 1: Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters of OteseconazolePK Parameter Following repeat dose administration of VIVJOA at the approved recommended dosage for RVVC at the end of treatment. Mean (+- SD)C max (ug/mL) 2.8 (1.25)AUC 24h (hug/mL) 64.2 (29.4)C min (ug/mL) 2.5 (1.19). AbsorptionThe time to peak plasma concentrations of oteseconazole was approximately to 10 hours.. Effect of FoodAdministration of VIVJOA with high-fat, high-calorie meal (800-1000 Calories; 50% fat) increased max and AUC 0-72h by 45% and 36%, but no significant differences were observed with low-fat, low-calorie meal. DistributionThe central volume of distribution of oteseconazole is approximately 423 L. Oteseconazole is 99.5-99.7% bound to plasma proteins. Animal studies indicated that oteseconazole exposures in vaginal tissue are comparable to plasma exposures.. EliminationThe median terminal half-life of oteseconazole is approximately 138 days.. MetabolismOteseconazole does not undergo significant metabolism.. ExcretionFollowing oral administration of radiolabeled oteseconazole, approximately 56% of the radiolabeled dose was recovered in feces primarily through biliary excretion and 26% was recovered in urine.. Specific PopulationsThere were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of oteseconazole based on sex, race/ethnicity or mild to moderate renal impairment.. Drug Interaction Studies. BCRP substrates: Oteseconazole increased the max and AUC 0-24h of rosuvastatin, BCRP substrate, by 118% and 114%, respectively . Other Drugs: No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of the following drugs were observed when co-administered with oteseconazole: Midazolam (sensitive CYP3A4 substrate), ethinyl estradiol (CYP3A4 substrate), norethindrone (CYP3A4 substrate), or digoxin (P-gp substrate). 12.4Microbiology. Mechanism of Action:Oteseconazole is an azole metalloenzyme inhibitor targeting the fungal sterol, 14 demethylase (CYP51), an enzyme that catalyzes an early step in the biosynthetic pathway of ergosterol, sterol required for fungal cell membrane formation and integrity. Inhibition of CYP51 results in the accumulation of 14-methylated sterols, some of which are toxic to fungi. Through the inclusion of tetrazole metal-binding group, oteseconazole has lower affinity for human CYP enzymes.. Resistance:The potential for increases in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) to oteseconazole has been evaluated in vitro including specific mechanisms of resistance Increases in oteseconazole MIC were associated with upregulation of the efflux pumps CDR1, MDR1, and the azole target, lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase (CYP51). Against certain Candida spp. oteseconazole maintained meaningful in vitro activity against clinical isolates that were resistant to fluconazole. Antimicrobial Activity:The following in vitro data is available, but their clinical significance is unknown. Oteseconazole has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following microorganisms associated with RVVC [see Indications and Usage (1.1)] Candida albicansCandida glabrataCandida kruseiCandida parapsilosisCandida tropicalisCandida lusitaniaeCandida dubliniensis.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES. Overview of the Clinical StudiesA total of 656 adults and post-menarchal pediatric females with RVVC (defined as >=3 episodes of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in 12-month period) were randomized in two multicenter, multinational, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials: Trial (NCT03562156) and Trial (NCT03561701). total of 219 adults and post-menarchal pediatric females with RVVC were randomized in multicenter, double-blind trial [Trial (NCT03840616)]. Although females of reproductive potential were included in the clinical efficacy data, VIVJOA is contraindicated in females of reproductive potential due to the risk of embryo-fetal toxicity [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3, 8.4)] . Trial and Trial 2Trial and Trial were both randomized, placebo-controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of VIVJOA in the reduction of RVVC. Both trials consisted of two phases: an open-label induction phase and an 11-week maintenance phase. Patients received three sequential doses of 150 mg of fluconazole (every 72 hours) on Days, 1, and during the induction phase. Patients returned 14 days after the first dose of fluconazole and if the acute VVC episode was resolved (vulvovaginal signs and symptoms score 3) they were randomized (2:1) to receive either 150 mg of VIVJOA or placebo for days followed by 11 weekly doses in the maintenance phase.In Trial 1, total of 483 patients were enrolled in the induction phase with 326 patients entering the maintenance phase with 217 patients randomized to VIVJOA and 109 patients randomized to placebo. total of 182 patients (84%) in the VIVJOA group and 91 patients (83%) in the placebo group completed the trial. The mean age of patients was 34 years old (range 17-78 years old) with 85% of patients aged 18-44 years and 15% of patients aged 45 years and older. Patients were 72% White, 13% Black or African American, 14% Asian, and 8% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.In Trial 2, total of 425 patients were enrolled into the induction phase with 330 patients entering the maintenance phase with 220 subjects randomized to VIVJOA and 110 patients randomized to placebo. total of 191 patients (87%) in the VIVJOA group and 91 patients (83%) in the placebo group completed the trial. The mean age of patients was 34 years old (range 18-73 years old) with 85% of patients aged 18-44 years and 15% of patients aged 45 years and older. Patients were 89% White, 10% Black or African American and 15% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.For both Trial and Trial 2, efficacy was assessed by the proportion of patients with >=1 culture-verified acute VVC episode (positive fungal culture for Candida species associated with clinical signs and symptoms score of >=3) during the Maintenance Phase through Week 48. Evaluation of clinical signs and symptoms included erythema (redness), edema (swelling), excoriation (skin picking), itching, burning and irritation. Since treatment for acute VVC was allowed to be provided to patient if it was deemed to be clinically needed when the patient had signs and symptoms score >= and positive KOH test, the proportion of patients with >=1 culture-verified acute VVC episode or who took medication known to treat VVC during the Maintenance Phase through Week 48 is also presented. VIVJOA was superior to placebo with reference to the proportion of patients with >=1 culture-verified acute VVC episode through Week 48 (Table 2) or the proportion of patients with >=1 culture-verified acute VVC episode or who took medication known to treat VVC during the Maintenance Phase through Week 48. For both Trial and Trial 2, the average percentage of patients was lower in the VIVJOA groups compared with the placebo group (Table 2).Table 2: Trial and Efficacy Endpoints: ITT PopulationTrial 1Trial 2VIVJOA (N=217) Placebo (N=109) VIVJOA (N=218) Placebo (N=108) Abbreviations: ITT=Intent-to-Treat (Population); VVC=vulvovaginal candidiasis.Proportion of Patients with >=1 Culture-verified Acute VVC Episode (Day through Week 48) Average %.

Trial 3Trial was randomized, double-blind trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of VIVJOA versus fluconazole and placebo in adults and post-menarchal pediatric females with RVVC. The trial consisted of two phases: induction and maintenance.During the induction phase, patients received 1050 mg of VIVJOA over two days (600 mg [4x150mg] on Day and 450 mg [3x150mg] on Day 2) or three sequential doses of 150 mg of fluconazole (every 72 hours) on Days, 1, and 7. Patients returned 14 days after the first dose and moved to the maintenance phase if the acute VVC episode was resolved. During the maintenance phase, patients received 150 mg VIVJOA weekly or placebo weekly for 11 weeks.A total of 219 patients were randomized (2:1) into the induction phase: 147 to VIVJOA and 72 to fluconazole/placebo. One patient in the VIVJOA group did not receive drug therefore 146 patients received VIVJOA. total of 112 patients (76%) in the VIVJOA group and 55 patients (76%) in the fluconazole/placebo group completed the trial.The mean age of patients was 35 years (range 16-78) with 80% of patients aged 18-44 years and 19% of patients aged 45 years and older. Patients were 59% White, 34% Black or African American, 1% Asian and 26% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. The trial was conducted completely in the United States.Efficacy was assessed by the proportion of patients with >=1 culture verified acute VVC episode during the maintenance phase (post-randomization through Week 50) or who failed clearing their infection during the induction phase. recurring acute VVC episode was defined as positive culture for Candida species and clinical signs and symptoms score of >=3. Evaluation of clinical signs and symptoms included erythema(redness), edema (swelling), excoriation (skin picking), itching, burning and irritation. Additionally, the proportion of patients with >=1 culture verified acute VVC episode or who took medication known to treat VVC during the maintenance phase (post-randomization through Week 50) or who failed clearing their infection during the induction phase is presented. VIVJOA was superior to fluconazole/placebo in the proportion of patients with >=1 culture-verified recurring acute VVC episode during the maintenance phase (post randomization through Week 50) or failed clearing their infection during the induction phase and the proportion of patients with >=1 culture-verified recurring acute VVC episode or took VVC medication known to treat VVC during the maintenance phase (post randomization through Week 50) or who failed clearing their infection during the induction phase.

LACTATION SECTION.
8.2Lactation. Risk SummaryVIVJOA is contraindicated in lactating women and females of reproductive potential. There are no data on the presence of oteseconazole in human or animal milk or data on the effects of oteseconazole on milk production. There were no reported adverse effects in breastfed infants following maternal exposure to oteseconazole during lactation; however, given the limited duration of follow-up of the oteseconazole-exposed infants during the post-natal period, no conclusions can be drawn from these data [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Ocular abnormalities were observed in pre and postnatal study in the offspring of rats administered oteseconazole from Gestation Day through Lactation Day 20 at doses approximately 3.5 times the recommended human dose based on AUC comparisons [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. The relationship between the observed animal findings and breastfed infants is unknown.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.
12.1Mechanism of Action. Oteseconazole is an antifungal drug [see Microbiology (12.4)].
Citing DrugCentral © 2024. License
MICROBIOLOGY SECTION.
12.4Microbiology. Mechanism of Action:Oteseconazole is an azole metalloenzyme inhibitor targeting the fungal sterol, 14 demethylase (CYP51), an enzyme that catalyzes an early step in the biosynthetic pathway of ergosterol, sterol required for fungal cell membrane formation and integrity. Inhibition of CYP51 results in the accumulation of 14-methylated sterols, some of which are toxic to fungi. Through the inclusion of tetrazole metal-binding group, oteseconazole has lower affinity for human CYP enzymes.. Resistance:The potential for increases in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) to oteseconazole has been evaluated in vitro including specific mechanisms of resistance Increases in oteseconazole MIC were associated with upregulation of the efflux pumps CDR1, MDR1, and the azole target, lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase (CYP51). Against certain Candida spp. oteseconazole maintained meaningful in vitro activity against clinical isolates that were resistant to fluconazole. Antimicrobial Activity:The following in vitro data is available, but their clinical significance is unknown. Oteseconazole has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following microorganisms associated with RVVC [see Indications and Usage (1.1)] Candida albicansCandida glabrataCandida kruseiCandida parapsilosisCandida tropicalisCandida lusitaniaeCandida dubliniensis. Candida albicans. Candida glabrata. Candida krusei. Candida parapsilosis. Candida tropicalis. Candida lusitaniae. Candida dubliniensis.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.
13NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. CarcinogenesisThere was no increase in the incidence of tumors following daily oral administration of oteseconazole to Tg.rasH2 mice for months at doses of mg/kg/day (males) and 15 mg/kg/day (females), which are up to and 10 times, respectively, the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons.In an oral carcinogenicity study, Sprague Dawley rats were administered doses of 0.5, 1.5, or mg/kg/day oteseconazole once daily for up to 90 weeks. The high dose was initially reduced from to mg/kg/day due to excess mortality in males and reduced body weight in females. In males, an increase in the incidence in Leydig cell adenomas of the testes and thyroid follicular cell adenomas/carcinomas (combined) were increased at >=1.5 mg/kg/day (similar to the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons). In females, thyroid follicular cell adenomas and carcinomas (combined) were increased at >=1.5 mg/kg/day (similar to the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons) and thyroid carcinomas were increased at to mg/kg/day (5 times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons). The Leydig and thyroid findings are of uncertain relevance to humans.. MutagenesisOteseconazole was negative in the bacterial reverse mutation assay, in vitro chromosomal aberration assay and micronucleus assay in rats. Impairment of FertilityMale rats were administered daily oral doses of 0, 0.5, 3, or 10 mg/kg/day oteseconazole beginning 42 days prior to pairing with untreated females, through the mating and post-mating period until euthanasia on Day 76 of treatment followed by 12-week recovery period. There were no effects on reproductive and/or fertility parameters at the time of mating at 10 mg/kg/day (7 times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons). Increased incidences of abnormal sperm were observed at mg/kg/day and sperm counts were reduced at 10 mg/kg/day. Although fertility was unaffected, sperm concentration remained reduced at the end of the recovery period.Female rats were administered daily oral doses of 0, 1.5, 5, or 25 mg/kg/day oteseconazole beginning 28 days prior to cohabitation with untreated males, continuing throughout mating and through gestational day 7. Although there were no effects on estrous cyclicity, effects on reproductive and fertility parameters were observed at 25 mg/kg/day in the presence of maternal toxicity (11 times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons).. 13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In an oral carcinogenicity study, Sprague Dawley rats were administered doses of 0.5, 1.5, or mg/kg/day oteseconazole once daily for up to 90 weeks. The high dose was initially reduced from to mg/kg/day in males due to excess mortality. Incidences of hemorrhage were increased in the adrenals, brain, coagulating gland, ears, epididymides, head, heart, lung, nose, pancreas, pharynx, prostate, seminal vesicles, spinal cord, testes, thymus, and bladder of male Crl:CD (R)(SD) rats (after 77 weeks of dosing at about times the MRHD based on AUC comparisons). There were no increases in the incidence of hemorrhage in rats after 26 weeks at mg/kg. The clinical relevance of these findings after very high doses (5 to times the MRHD) for the lifetime of the rat remains unclear.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.
12.3Pharmacokinetics. The AUC of oteseconazole increased approximately dose proportionally while the max increased less than dose proportionally over dose range of 20 mg (0.13 times the lowest recommended dose) to 320 mg (0.53 times the highest recommended dose). The pharmacokinetic parameters of oteseconazole associated with the administration of the recommended dosing regimen of VIVJOA are presented in Table 1. Table 1: Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters of OteseconazolePK Parameter Following repeat dose administration of VIVJOA at the approved recommended dosage for RVVC at the end of treatment. Mean (+- SD)C max (ug/mL) 2.8 (1.25)AUC 24h (hug/mL) 64.2 (29.4)C min (ug/mL) 2.5 (1.19). AbsorptionThe time to peak plasma concentrations of oteseconazole was approximately to 10 hours.. Effect of FoodAdministration of VIVJOA with high-fat, high-calorie meal (800-1000 Calories; 50% fat) increased max and AUC 0-72h by 45% and 36%, but no significant differences were observed with low-fat, low-calorie meal. DistributionThe central volume of distribution of oteseconazole is approximately 423 L. Oteseconazole is 99.5-99.7% bound to plasma proteins. Animal studies indicated that oteseconazole exposures in vaginal tissue are comparable to plasma exposures.. EliminationThe median terminal half-life of oteseconazole is approximately 138 days.. MetabolismOteseconazole does not undergo significant metabolism.. ExcretionFollowing oral administration of radiolabeled oteseconazole, approximately 56% of the radiolabeled dose was recovered in feces primarily through biliary excretion and 26% was recovered in urine.. Specific PopulationsThere were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of oteseconazole based on sex, race/ethnicity or mild to moderate renal impairment.. Drug Interaction Studies. BCRP substrates: Oteseconazole increased the max and AUC 0-24h of rosuvastatin, BCRP substrate, by 118% and 114%, respectively . Other Drugs: No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of the following drugs were observed when co-administered with oteseconazole: Midazolam (sensitive CYP3A4 substrate), ethinyl estradiol (CYP3A4 substrate), norethindrone (CYP3A4 substrate), or digoxin (P-gp substrate).

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1Pregnancy. Risk SummaryVIVJOA is contraindicated in females of reproductive potential and in pregnant women. Based on animal studies, VIVJOA may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. In addition, the drug exposure window of approximately 690 days (based on times the half-life of oteseconazole) precludes adequate mitigation of the embryo-fetal toxicity risks [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Ocular abnormalities were observed in pre and postnatal animal study in the offspring of rats administered oteseconazole from Gestation Day through Lactation Day 20 at doses about 3.5 times the recommended human dose based on AUC comparisons (see Data). The observed ocular abnormalities included cataracts, opacities, exophthalmos/buphthalmos, optic nerve/retinal atrophy, lens degeneration and hemorrhage. There are limited human data in pregnant women who were exposed to VIVJOA during the clinical trials; these data are insufficient to exclude potential risk of cataracts or other eye abnormalities in human infants.. Data. Animal DataRat and rabbit embryofetal development was assessed after oral administration of oteseconazole. There was no embryofetal toxicity or malformations at 40 mg/kg/day following administration of oteseconazole during organogenesis in pregnant rats at doses about 10 times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons. Abortions occurred in rabbits in the presence of maternal toxicity (reduced bodyweight gain with reduced food consumption) but there were no malformations at 15 mg/kg/day following administration of oteseconazole during organogenesis in pregnant rabbits about times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons.Ocular abnormalities including cataracts, opacities, exophthalmos/buphthalmos, optic nerve/retinal atrophy, lens degeneration and hemorrhage were observed in the offspring of rats administered oteseconazole from Gestation Day through Lactation Day 20 at 7.5 mg/kg day (about 3.5 times the recommended human dose based on AUC comparisons). There were no effects on pregnancy or parturition in these pre and postnatal studies at any dose.
