`USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
`ti.1
`Pregnancy
`Teratogenlc Effects.
`Pregnancy Category C: Reproduction studies performed with nepafenac
`in rabbits and rats at oral doses up to 10 mg/kg/day have revealed no
`evidence oiteratogenlcitydue to nepafenac, despite the induction of
`maternal toxicity. At this dose, the animal plasma exposure to nepafenac
`and amfenacwas approximately 70 and 630 times human plasma
`exposure at the teconrmeniied human topical ophthaimicdose for rats
`and 20and 100 times human plaslitaeaqr-usurelrrr rabbits, respectively. in
`rats, maternally toxic doses 2 I0 Irttyflttj were associated with dysiocia,
`increased postimpiantation loss, reduced fetal weights and growth, and
`reduced fetal survival.
`Nepafenac has been shown to cross the placental barrier in rats.There are
`no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because
`animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response,
`ILEVRO” (nepafenac ophthalmic suspension),0.3% should be used during
`pregnancy only iithe potential benelitlustiiies the potential risk to the
`fetus.
`Non-teratogenlc Effects.
`Because ofthe known effects ofprostagiandin biosynthesis inhibiting
`drugs on the fetal cardiovascularsystem (closure of the ductus arteriosus),
`the use of ILEVRO‘ (nepafenac ophthalmlcsuspension), 0.3% during late
`pregnancy should be avoided.

`DESCRIPTION
`|tEVRO“ (nepafenac ophthalmic suspension), 0.3% is a sterile, topical,
`nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) prodrug for ophthalmic use. Each
`ml of ILEVRO“ (nepafenac ophthalmlcsuspension), 0.3% contains 3 mg of
`nepafenac. Nepafenac is designated chemically as 2—amino—3-
`benzoylbenzeneacetamidewith an empirical fonnuia of C15il14N202.
`The structural formula of nepafenac is:
`0 N;
`
`NH;
`
`Nepafenac is a yellow crystalline powder.The molecular weight of
`nepafenac is 254.28.
`lLEVRO" (nepafenac ophthalmic suspension), 0.3% is supplied as a sterile,
`aqueous suspension with a pH approximately of 6.8.
`The osmolaiity of |iEVRO' (nepafenacophthalmlcsuspension), 0.3% is
`approximately 300 m0sm/kg.
`Each mi of |LEVRO" (nepafenac ophthalmlcsuspension), 0.3% contains:
`Active: nepafenac0.3% inactives: boricacid, propylene glycol, carbomer
`974P, sodium chloride, guargum, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, edetate
`disodium, benzaikonium chloride 0.005% (preservative), sodium
`hydroxide and/or hydrochloricacid to adiust pH and purified water, USP.

`Cl|NlCAl PHARMACOLOGY
`12.1
`Mechanism of Action
`After topical oculardosing, nepafenac penetrates the cornea and is
`converted by ocular tissue hydrolases to amfenac, a nonsteroidal
`anti-inflammatory drug. Nepafenac and amfenacare thoughtto inhibit
`the action ofprostaglandin H synthase (cyclooxygenasei, an enzyme
`required for prostaglandin production.

`NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGV
`Cardnogenesis,Mutagenesis,
`lmpalrrnentoffertility
`Nepafenac has not been evaluated in long-term carcinogenicity studies.
`increased chromosomal abenatlons were observed in Chinese hamster ovary
`cells exposed in vitro to nepafenac suspension. Nepafenac was not mutagenic
`in the Ames assay or in the mouse lymphomaforward mutation assay. Oral
`doses up to 5,000 mg/kg did not result in an increase in the formation of
`micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in viva in the mouse micronucleus
`assay in the bone marrow of mice.
`Nepafenac did not impair fertility when administered orally to male and
`female ratsat 3 mg/kg.

`(liNi(itl STUDIES
`in two double masked, randomized clinical trials in which patients were closed
`daily beginning one day prior to cataract surgery, continued on the day of
`surgery and for the first two weeks of the postoperative period, |L[VRO'
`(nepafenacophthalmlcsuspension), 0.3% demonstrated superior clinical
`efficacy compared to its vehlde in treating postoperative pain and
`inflammation.
`Treatment effect over vehicle for resolution ofocular pain occurred as early

`inflammation was significantly better than vehicle in both studies at day
