`
`PRECAUTIONS
`GENERAL
`Patients should be adequately hydrated prior to the infusion
`and blood pressure should be monitored during the infusion.
`ETHYOL should be administered as a IS-minute infusion
`(See DOSAGE and ADMINISTRATION).
`The safety of ETHYOL administration has not been estab(cid:173)
`lished in elderly patients, or patients with preexisting cardi(cid:173)
`ovasCular or cerebrovascular conditions such as ischemic
`heart disease, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, or his(cid:173)
`tory of stroke or transient ischemic attacks. ETHYO~ should
`be used with particular care in these and other patients 10
`whom the common ETHYOL adverse effects of nausea/vom·
`iting and hypotension may be more likely to have serious
`consequences.
`Drug Interactions
`There are no known drug interactions with ETHYOL. How(cid:173)
`ever special consideration should be given to the administra(cid:173)
`tion ~fETHYOL in patients receiving antihypertensive med(cid:173)
`ications or other drugs that could potentiate hypotension.
`Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis and Impairment of Fertility
`No long term animal studies have been performed to evalu(cid:173)
`ate the carcinogenic potential of ETHYOL." ETHYOL was
`negative in the Ames test and in the mouse mi~~onl;lcleus
`test. The free thiol metabolite, however, was posItive 10 the
`Ames test with S9 microsomal fraction in the TA1535 Salmo(cid:173)
`nella typhimurium strain and at the TK locus in the mouse
`L5178Y cell assay. The metabolite was negative in the mouse
`micronucleus test and negative for clastogenicity in human
`lymphocytes.
`Pregnancy
`Pregnancy Category C. ETHYOL (amifostine) has been
`shown to be embryotoxic in rabbits at doses of 50 mg/kg,
`approximately sixty percent of the recommended dose 10
`humans on a body surface area basis. There are no adequate
`and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. ETHYOL
`should be used during pregnancy only ifthe potential benefit
`justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
`Nursing Mothers
`No information is available on the excretion of ETHYOL or
`its metabolites into human milk. Because many drugs are
`excreted in human milk and because ofthe potential for ad(cid:173)
`verse reactions in nursing infants. it is recommended that
`breast feeding be discontinued if the mother is treated with
`ETHYOL.
`
`ADVERSE REACTIONS
`ETHYOL produced a transient reduction in blood pressure
`in 62% of patients treated. The mean time of onset was 14
`minutes into the IS-minute period ofETHYOL infusion, and
`the mean duration was 6 minutes. In some cases, the infusion
`had to be prematurely terminated due to a more pronounced
`drop in systolic blood pressure. In general, the blood pressure
`returned to normal within 5-15 minutes. Fewer than 3% of
`patients discontinued ETHYOL due to blood pressure reduc(cid:173)
`tions. Short term, reversible loss of consciousness has been
`reported rarely. Blood pressure reductions during ETHYOL
`administration have not been reported to cause long~term
`CNS, cardiovascular or renal sequelae, but clinical studies
`performed to date have not evaluated the safety of ETHYOL
`in elderly patients or patients with pre-existing cardiovascu(cid:173)
`lar or cerebrovascular conditions.
`Hypotension that requires interruption of the ETHYOL
`Infusion should be treated with fluid infusion and postural
`management of the patient (supine or Trendelenburg posi(cid:173)
`tion). If the blood pressure returns to normal within 5 min(cid:173)
`utes and the patient is asymptomatic, the infusion may be
`restarted, so that the full dose of ETHYOL can be adminis(cid:173)
`tered.
`Nausea and/or vomiting occur frequently after amifostine
`infusion and may be severe. In the ovarian cancer random~
`ized study, the incidence of severe nausea/vomiting on day. 1
`of cyclophosphamide-dsplatin chemotherapy was 10':0 10
`patients who did not receive ETHYOL, and 19% In patients
`who did receive ETHYOL. Other effects which have been
`described during or following ETHYOL infusion are flush(cid:173)
`ing/feeling of warmth, chills/feeling of coldness, dizziness,
`somnolence, hiccupa and sneezing. These effects have not
`generally precluded the completion of chemotherapy.
`Decrease in serum calcium concentrations is a known phar(cid:173)
`macological effect of ETHYOL. At the recommended doses,
`clinically significant hypocalcemia has occurred rarely
`«1%).
`Allergic reactions, ranging from mild skin rashes to rigors,
`have occurred rarely « 1 %). There has been no reported
`occurrence of anaphylaxis with ETHYOL.
`
`OVERDOSAGE
`In clinical trials, the maximum single dose of ETHYOL was
`1300 mg/m2. No information is available on single doses
`higher than this in adults. In the setting of a clinical trial,
`
`.. children have received single ETHYOL doses of up to 2700
`mg/m2 with no unexpected effects. Multiple infusions (up to
`three) of 740-910 mg/m2 doses of ETHYOL have i>e<1n ae!'
`ministered within a 24·hour period under study conditioru.
`without unexpected effects. Administration of ETHYOL at
`2 and 4 hours after the initial dose has not led to increased or
`cumulative side effects, such as increased nausea and vomi~
`ing or hypotension. The most likely symptom of overdosage
`is hypotension, which should be managed by infusion of nor(cid:173)
`mal saline and other supportive measures, as clinically indi,
`cated.
`DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`In adults, the recommended starting dose of ETHYOL is
`910 mg/m2 administered once daily as a IS-minute i.v. infu(cid:173)
`sion, starting 30 minutes prior to chemotherapy.
`The IS-minute infusion is better tolerated than more ex(cid:173)
`tended infusions. Further reductions in infusion times have
`not been systematically investigated.
`The infusion of ETHYOL should be interrupted if the sys(cid:173)
`tolic blood pressure det:reases significaritly from the baseline
`value as listed in the guideline below:

`full dose of ETHYOL cannot be administered, the dose of
`ETHYOL for subsequent cycles should be 740 mg/m2.
`Only limited experience is available for the usage of
`ETHYOL in children or elderly patients (more than 70 years
`ofage).
`It is recommended that antiemetic medication, including
`dexamethasone 20 mg i.v. and a serotonin 5HT3 receptor
`antagonist, be administered prior to and in conjunction with
`ETHYOL. Additional antiemetics may be required based on
`the chemotherapy drugs administered.

`DESCRIPTION
`The Testoderm ® Testosterone TranOOermal System is d~

`CLINICAL pHARMACOLOGY
`restoderm® releases teStosterone, the priinary endogenoUs
`androgenic hormone. Epdogenous androgens, including te&:
`tosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), are responsible for.,
`the normal growth and development of the male·sex org8ll!',
`and for maintenance of secondary. sex characteristics .. Th~.
`effects include th.e growth and maturation of prostate, se",,::
`nal vesicles; penis, and scrotum; the development of malo,
`· hair distriilution, such as facial, pubic, chest, and axillary,
`· Iiair; laryngeal enlargement, vocal chord thickening, alter:
`ations in hQdy musculature, and fat distnbution .. DHT .ilI
`necessary for the normal development!,f secondary sex char:
`acteristics.
`Drugs in this class also cause retention of nitrogen, sodium,
`potassium, phoSphorus, and decreased urinary excretion of;
`calcium. Androgens have been reported to increase protein,
`anabolism and decrease protein catabolism. Nitrogen bal-,
`ance is improved only when there is sufficient intake of cal'"
`. ries and protein.
`Androgens are responsible for the growth spurt of OOoles(cid:173)
`cence and for the eventual termination of linear growth
`brought about by fusion of the epiphyseal growth centers. In,
`children, exogenous androgens accelerate linear growtH'
`rates but may cause a disproportionate advancement in bone'
`maturation. Use over long periods may result in fusion ofth._
`epiphyseal growth centers and termination of the growth'
`process. Androgens havebeen reported to stimulate the pro-.
`duction of red blood cells by enhancing the production of
`erythropoietin.
`. ,
`During exogenous administration of androgens, endogeno~
`testosterone release may be inhibited through feedback inhi-,
`bition of pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH). At large doses' .
`of exogenous androgens, spermatogenesis may also be sup(cid:173)
`pressed through feedback inhibition of pituitary follicle(cid:173)
`stimulating hormone (FSH).
`There is a lack of substantial evidence that androgens

`
`Pharmacokinetics
`Endogenous total testosterone serum concentrations in nor(cid:173)
`mal malo. follow a diurnal pattern. Young men and old men
`have slightly different patterns (Figure A). Dai4yapplication
`of Testoderm® approximates the natural endogenous pat(cid:173)
`tern of serum testosterone of normal males. Following place(cid:173)
`ment ofTestoderm ® on scrotal skin, the serum testosterone
`concentration rises to a maximum at 2 to 4 hours and returns
`toward baseline within approximately 2 hours after system
`removal. Serum levels reach a plateau at 3 to 4 weeks.
`Hypogonadal men using Testoderm ® therapy have trough
`serum testosterone concentrations that are about 15% of
`peak levels. The testosterone levels achieved with Tes(cid:173)
`toderm® therapy generally'are within the range for normal
`men (see also Clinical Studies). The typical pattern achieved
`with nominal testosterone delivery of 6 mg/day from Tes(cid:173)
`toderm ® is shown in Figure B. Scrotal skin is at least five
`times more permeable to testosterone than other skin sites.
`Testoderm® will not produce adequate serum testosterone
`concentration if it is applied to nongenital skin.

`Figure B.- Serum concentration of testosterone (mean ± sm
`while wearing a Testoderm® system or placebo (n=301.
`Systems were applied at 0 hours and removed at 22 hours.
`There is considerable variation in the half-life of testoste(cid:173)
`rone as reported in the literature, ranging from 10 to 100
`minutes.
`Circulating teatosterone is chiefly bound in the serum to sex
`hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin. The albu(cid:173)
`min-bound fraction of testosterone easily dissociates from
`albumin and is presumed to be bioactive. The portion of tes(cid:173)
`tosterone bound to SHBG is not considered biologically ac(cid:173)
`tive. The amount of SHBG in the serum and the total,testos(cid:173)
`terone' level will determine the distribution of bioactive and
`nonbioactive androgen. SHBG-binding capacity is high in
`prepubertal children, declines during puberty and adulthood
`and increases again during the later decades of life.
`Testosterone is a substrate for conversion to an active metat>.:
`olite dihydrotestosterone (DHT>.
`Abo,ut 90 percent of a dose of testosterone given intramuscu(cid:173)
`larly is excreted in the urine as glucuronic and sulfuric acid
`conjugates of testosterone and its metabolites; about 6 per(cid:173)
`cent of a dose is excreted in the feces, mostly in theiinconju'(cid:173)
`gated form. Inactivation of testosterone occurS primarily in
`the liver. TestOsterone is metsbolized to various 17-keto ste(cid:173)
`roids through two different pathways, and the major actiye
`metabolites are estradiol and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
`Normal concentrations of estradiol in men are 0.8 to 3.5 ng/
`dL. DHT concentrations in normal male serum are 30 to 85
`ng/dL. DHT binds with greater affinity to SHBG than does,
`~tosterone. In reproductive tissues, DHT is further metabo(cid:173)
`lized to 3-alpha and 3-beta androstenediol.
`In many tissues the activity of testosterone appears to de(cid:173)
`pend on reduction to dihydrotestosterone, which binds to
`cytosol receptor proteins. The steroid-receptor complex is
`transported to the nucleus where it initiates transcription
`and cellular changes related to androgen action.
`'
`Clinical Studies
`After at least 3 weeks of Testoderm® therapy when steady
`state is obtained, 30 hypogonadal men treated with 6 mg/d
`systems for 22 hours daily achieved mean maximum serum
`tes~terone concentrations of 593 ng/ dL at 2 to 4 hours post(cid:173)
`appl!cation. Sixty percent of the patients achieved individual
`lllaXlmal 'testosterone concentrations > 500 ng/ dL. The
`mean 24-hour steady-state A UC (area under the curve) value
`was 9132, ng/ dL. The mean DHT serum concentrations
`
`ranged from 134 to 162 ng/dL. Normal levels of testosterone
`have been maintained in patients who have worn the sys(cid:173)
`tems for up to six years. DHT levels also remain stable. The
`increase in serum testosterone concentration is proportional
`to the size of the system.
`The variability of total testosterone concentrations among
`patients receiving Testoderm® treatment had a coefficient
`of variation from 35% to 49%. The coefficient of variation of
`totsl testosterone concentrati9ns within individual patients
`was 30% to 41%. This variability is comparable to the values
`reported in the literatUre for both normal and hypogonadal
`men.
`In two 12-week clinical studies in 72 hypogonadal men,
`Testoderm® therapy produced positive effects on mood and
`sexual behavior: By 5 weeks, 45 patients not previously
`treated with Testoderm® showed statistically significant
`increases in sexual activity. Compared to baseline. mean
`sexual events per week increased for sexual intercourse (0.3
`to 0.8), orgasm (0.4 to 1.21, waking erections (1.0 to 3.5), and
`spontaneous erections <0.4 to 2.8).
`Changes in 'nonfasting serum lipid concentrations were ob(cid:173)
`served during Testoderm® therapy. By three months total
`cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol de(cid:173)
`creased an average of 8% and 13%, respectively. High-den(cid:173)
`sity lipoprotein cholesterol remained stable thereafter. Total
`cholesterol continued to decrease through two years. At the
`end of two years, the total cholesterollhigh-density lipopro(cid:173)
`tein cholesterol ratio was not different from pretreatment
`values.
`Composite results of all studies show elevated dihydrotestos(cid:173)
`terone concentrations and a change in the ratio of testoste(cid:173)
`rone to dihydrotestosterone (T/DHT) during treatment. The
`range in this ratio was 0.7-12.5, as compared with a ratio of
`3.6-15.2 in normal untreated men. The long-term effects of
`the change in this ratio are not known.
`Estradiol levels increased to the normal range with treat(cid:173)
`ment. Sporadic elevations of estradiol above the normal
`range for men were observed in 3 of 72 patients and these
`were not associated with feminizing side effects.
`INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`Testoderm® is indicated for replacement therapy in males
`for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of en(cid:173)
`dogenous testosterone:
`1. Primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired)-testicu(cid:173)
`lar failure due to cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion, orchi(cid:173)
`tis, vanishing testis syndrome, orchidectomy, Klinefelter's
`syndrome, chemotherapy, or toxic damage from alcohol or
`heavy metals. These men usually have low serum testoste(cid:173)
`rone levels and gonadotropins (FSH, LH) above the nor(cid:173)
`mal range.
`2. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (congenital or acquired)
`-idiopathic gonadotropin or LHRH deficiency or pitui(cid:173)
`tary-hypothalamic injury from tumors, trauma, or radia_
`tion. These men have low testosterone serum levels but
`have gonadotropins in the normal or low range.
`Testoderm® therapy has not been evaluated clinitally in
`males under 18 years of age.
`CONTRAINDICATIONS
`Androgens are contraindicated. in men with carcinoma of the
`breast or known or suspected carcinoma of the prostate.
`Testoderm® therapy has not been evaluated in women and
`must not be used in women. Testosterone may cause fetal
`harm.
`Testoderm® systems should not be used in patients with
`known hypersensitivity to any components of the system.
`WARNINGS
`Prolonged use of high doses of orally active 17-alpha-alkyl
`androgens (eg, methyltestosterone) has been associated with
`serious hepatic adverse effects (peliosis hepatitis, hepatic
`neoplasms, cholestatic hepatitis, and jaundice). Long-term
`therapy with testosterone enanthate, which elevates blood
`levels for prolonged periods, has produced mUltiple hepatic
`adenomas. Testosterone is not known to produce these
`adverse effects.
`Geriatric patients treated with androgens may be at an in(cid:173)
`creased risk for the development of prostatic hyperplasia
`and prostatic carcinoma (see PRECAUTIONS: Carcinogene(cid:173)
`sis, Mutagenesis, lmpairnlent of Fertility).
`Edema with Or without congestive heart failure may be a
`serious complication in patients with preexisting cardiac,
`renal, or hepatic disease. In addition to discontinuation of
`the drug, diuretic therapy may be required.
`Gynecomastia frequently develops and occasionally persists
`in patients being treated for hypogonadism.
`PRECAUTIONS
`Information for the Patient
`A booklet containing instructions for use of the Testoderm ®
`system is available.
`'
`The physician should instruct patients to report any of the
`following side effects of androgens:
`• Too frequent or persistent erections of the penis.
`• Any nausea, vomiting, changes in skin color or ankle
`swelling.
`
`PRODUCT INFORMATION/487
`
`Virilization of female partners has been reported with use of
`a topical testosterone solution. Percutaneous creams leave
`as much as 90 mg residual testosterone on the skin. The re(cid:173)
`sults from one study indicated that, after removal of a Tes(cid:173)
`toderm® system, the potential for transfer of testosterone to
`a sexual partner was 6 ~, 1I45th the daily endogenous tes(cid:173)
`tosterone production by the female body. Changes in body
`hair distribution or significant increase in acne of the female
`partner should be brought to the attention of a physician.
`Laboratory ·Tests
`1. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels should be checked peri(cid:173)
`odically (to detect polycythemia) in patients on long-term
`androgen therapy.
`2. Liver function, prostatic acid phosphatase, prostatic spe(cid:173)
`cific antigen, cholesterol, and high-density lipoproteins
`should be checked periodically.
`Drug Interactions
`1. Anticoagulants. C-17 substituted derivatives of testoste(cid:173)
`rone, such as methandrostenolone, have been reported to
`decrease the anticoagulant requirements of patients re~
`ceiving oral anticoagulants. Patients receiving oral antico(cid:173)
`agulant therapy require close monitoring, especially when
`androgens are started or stopped,
`'
`2. Oxyphenbutazone. Concurrent administration of oxy(cid:173)
`phenbutawne and androgens may result in elevated
`serum levels of oxyphenbutazone.
`3. Insulin. In diabetic patients the metabolic effects of andro(cid:173)
`gens may decrease blood glucose and, therefore, insulin
`requirements.
`.
`Drug/laboratory Test Interactions
`Androgens may decrease levels of thyroxin-binding globulin,
`resulting in decreased total T. serum levels and increased
`resin uptake of Ta and T •. Free thyroid hormone levels re(cid:173)
`main unchanged, however, and there is no clinical evidence
`of thyroid dysfunction.
`Carcinogenesis. Mutagenesis. Impairment of Fertility
`Animal Data. Testosterone has been tested by subeutane(cid:173)
`ous injection and implantation in mice and rats. In mice, the
`implant induced cervical-uterine tumors, which metasta(cid:173)
`sized in some cases. There is suggestive evidence that injec(cid:173)
`tion of testosterone into some strains of female mice in~
`creases their susceptibility to hepatoma. Testosterone is also'
`known to increase the number of tumors and decrease the

`ADVERSE REACTIONS
`Adverse Reactions with the Testoderm® system
`In clinical
`studies of 104 patients
`treated with
`Testoderm® the most commOn adverse effects reported
`were local effects. In US clinical trials, most of the 72 pa-,
`tients filling out a daily questionnaire reported scrotal itch(cid:173)
`ing, discomfort, or irritation at some time during therapy. Of
`all the daily questionnaire responses, 7% reported itching,
`4% discomfort, and 2% irritation. All topical reactions de(cid:173)
`creased with duration of use.
`The following adverse effects were reported in association
`with Testoderm® therapy in 104 patients using the product
`for up to three years; a causal relationship to Testoderm®
`treatment was not always determined. These effects are
`listed in decreasing order of occurrence with the number of
`patients reporting the effect in parentheses: Gynecomastia
`(5), acne (4), prostatitis/urinary tract infection (4), breast
`tenderness (3), stroke (2), memory loss (I), pupillary dilation
`(1), abnormal liver enzymes (1), scrotal cellulitis (1), deep
`vein phlebitis (1), benign prostatic hyperplasia (1), rectal
`mucosal lesion over prostate (1), hematuria/bladder cancer
`(II, papilloma on scrotum (1), and congestive heart failure (1).

`DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE
`Testoderm® is a Schedule III controlled substance under
`the Anabolic Steroids Control Act.
`With oral administration, it is not possible to achieve clini(cid:173)
`cally significant serum testosterone concentrations in the
`target organs using the testosterone in Testoderm ® due to
`extensive first-pass metabolism. The half-life of an 1M injec(cid:173)
`tion of testosterone is about 10 minutes.
`Because scrotal skin is at least five times more permeable to
`testosterone than other skin sites, Testoderm ® will not pro(cid:173)
`duce adequate serum testosterone concentrations if it is ap(cid:173)
`plied to nongenital skin.
`OVERDOSAGE
`There is one report of acute overdosage with testosterone
`enanthate: testosterone levels of up to 11,400 ng/dL were
`implicated in a cerebrovascular accident.
`DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`Patients should start therapy with a 6 mg/d system applied
`daily; if scrotal area is inadequate, a 4 mg/d system should be
`used. Testoderm® should be placed on clean, dry, scrotal
`skin. Scrotal hair should be dry-shaved for optimal skin con(cid:173)
`tact. Chemical depilatories should not be used (see Patient
`Information). Testoderm® should be worn 22-24 hours.
`After 3-4 weeks of daily system use, blood should be drawn
`2-4 hours after system application for determination of
`serum total testosterone. Because of variability in analytical
`values among diagnostic
`laboratories,
`this
`laboratory
`work and later analyses for assessing the effect of the
`Testoderm ® therapy should be performed at the same
`laboratory.
`If patients have not achieved desired results by the end of
`6-{l weeks of therapy with Testodeim®, another form of
`testosterone replacement therapy should be considered.
