`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2036 - 0002
`
`

`
`5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`
`5.1 Angioedema
`
`Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue and/or larynx has been reported with oxybutynin. In some
`
`cases, angioedema occurred after the first dose. Angioedema associated with upper airway
`
`swelling may be life—threatening. lf involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs,
`
`oxybutynin should be promptly discontinued and appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary
`
`to ensure a patent airway should be promptly provided.
`
`5.2 Central Nervous System Effects
`
`Oxybutynin is associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) effects [see
`
`Adverse Reactions (6)]. A variety of CNS anticholinergic effects have been reported, including
`
`hallucinations, agitation, confusion and somnolence. Patients should be monitored for signs of
`
`anticholinergic CNS effects, particularly in the first few months after beginning treatment or
`
`increasing the dose. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know
`
`how DITROPAN XL affects them. If a patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects, dose
`
`reduction or drug discontinuation should be considered.
`
`DITROPAN XL® should be used with caution in patients with preexisting dementia treated with
`cholinesterase inhibitors due to the risk of aggravation of symptoms.
`
`5.3 Worsening of Symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis

`
`DITROPAN XL
`
`should be used with caution in patients with myasthcnia gravis due to the risk
`
`of symptom aggravation.
`
`5.4 Urinary Retention
`
`DTTROPAN XL® should be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant
`bladder outflow obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention [see Com‘raindi'cazi'on.s* (4)] .
`
`5.5 Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions
`
`DITROPAN XLW should be administered with caution to patients with gastrointestinal
`obstructive disorders because of the risk of gastric retention [see C0ntrai'na’i'cati0n.s' (4)].
`
`DITROPAN XL'R', like other anticholinergic drugs, may decrease gastrointestinal motility and
`
`should be used with caution in patients with conditions such as ulcerative colitis and intestinal
`
`atony.
`
`DITROPAN XL® should be used with caution in patients who have gastroesophageal reflux
`and/or who are concurrently taking drugs (such as bisphosphonates) that can cause or exacerbate
`
`esophagitis.
`
`As with any other nondeformable material, caution should be used when administering
`DITROPAN Xlfm to patients with preexisting severe gastrointestinal narrowing (pathologic or
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2036 - 0003
`
`

`
`iatrogenic). There have been rare reports of obstructive symptoms in patients with known
`
`strictures in association with the ingestion of other drugs in nondeformable controlled-release
`formulations.
`
`6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
`
`6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
`
`Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates
`
`observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials
`
`of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
`
`The safety and effieaey of DITROPAN XL (5 to 30 mg/day) was evaluated in 774 adult subjects
`
`who participated in five double—blind, controlled clinical
`
`trials.
`
`In four of the five studies,
`
`Ditropan IR (5 to 20 mg/day in 199 subjects) was an active comparator. Adverse reactions
`
`reported by 2 1% of subjects are shown in Table 1.

`
`

`
`7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
`
`The concomitant use of oxybutynin with other anticholinergic drugs or with other agents which
`
`produce dry mouth, constipation, somnolence (drowsiness), and/or other anticholinergic—like
`
`effects may increase the frequency and/or severity of such effects.
`
`Anticholinergic agents may potentially alter the absorption of some concomitantly administered
`
`drugs due to anticholinergic effects on gastrointestinal motility. This may be of concern for drugs
`
`with a narrow therapeutic index.
`
`Mean oxybutynin chloride plasma concentrations were approximately 2 fold higher when
`DITROPAN XL® was administered with ketoconazole, a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor. Other
`
`inhibitors of the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme system, such as antimycotic agents (e.g.,
`
`itraconazole and miconazole) or macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin and clarithromycin),
`
`may alter oxybutynin mean pharmacokinetic parameters (i.e., Cm“ and AUC). The clinical
`
`relevance of such potential interactions is not known. Caution should be used when such drugs
`are co—administered.
`
`8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
`
`8.1 Pregnancy
`
`Pregnancy Category B. There are no adequate and well—controlled studies using DITROPAN
`XLW in pregnant women. DITROPAN XLW should be used during pregnancy only if the
`
`potential benefit to the patient outweighs the risk to the patient and fetus. Women who become
`pregnant during DITROPAN XL"° treatment are encouraged to contact their physician.
`
`Risk Summary
`
`Based on animal data, oxybutynin is predicted to have a low probability ofincreasing the risk of
`
`adverse developmental effects above background risk.
`
`Animal Data
`
`Reproduction studies with oxybutynin chloride in the mouse, rat, hamster, and rabbit showed no
`
`evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the animal fetus.
`
`8.3 Nursing Mothers
`
`It is not known whether oxybutynin is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted
`in human milk, caution should be exercised when DITROPAN XLW is administered to a nursing
`woman.
`
`8.4 Pediatric Use
`
`The safety and efficacy of DITROPAN Xljh were studied in 60 children in a 24-week,
`open—label, non—randomized trial. Patients were aged 6-15 years, all had symptoms of detrusor
`
`overactivity in association with a neurological condition (eg, spina bifida), all used clean
`
`intermittent catheterization, and all were current users of oxybutynin chloride. Study results
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2036 - 0007
`
`

`
`demonstrated that administration of DITROPAN XLERJ 5 to 20 mg/day was associated with an
`
`increase from baseline in mean urine volume per catheterization from 108 mL to 136 mL, an
`
`increase from baseline in mean urine volume after morning awakening from 148 mL to 189 mL,
`
`and an increase from baseline in the mean percentage of catheterizations without a leaking
`
`episode from 34% to 51%.
`
`Urodynamic results were consistent with clinical results. Administration of DITROPAN XL®
`
`resulted in an increase from baseline in mean maximum cystometric capacity from 185 mL to
`
`254 mL, a decrease from baseline in mean detrusor pressure at maximum cystometric capacity
`
`from 44 cm H20 to 33 cm H20, and a reduction in the percentage of patients demonstrating
`
`uninhibited detrusor contractions (of at least 15 cm H20) from 60% to 28%.
`
`The pharmacokinetics of DITROPAN XLLR" in these patients were consistent with those reported
`for adults [See Clinical Plzarmacology (./2.3)].
`
`DITROPAN XL® is not recommended in pediatric patients who cannot swallow the tablet whole
`
`without chewing, dividing, or crushing, or in children under the age off).
`
`8.5 Geriatric Use
`
`The rate and severity of anticholincrgic effects reported by patients less than 65 years old and
`those 65 years and older were similar. The pharmacokinetics of DITROPAN XL® were similar
`
`in all patients studied (up to 78 years of age).
`
`8.6 Renal Impairment
`
`There were no studies conducted with DITROPAN XL® in patients with renal impairment.
`
`8.? Hepatic Impairment
`
`There were no studies conducted with DITROPAN XL® in patients with hepatic impairment.
`
`10 OVE RDOSAGE
`
`The continuous release of oxybutynin from DITROPAN XL“ should be considered in the
`treatment of overdosage. Patients should be monitored for at least 24 hours. Treatment should be
`
`symptomatic and supportive. Activated charcoal as well as a cathartic may be administered.
`
`Overdosage with oxybutynin chloride has been associated with anticholincrgic effects including
`
`central nervous system excitation, flushing, fever, dehydration, cardiac arrhythmia, vomiting,
`
`and urinary retention.
`
`Ingestion of 100 mg oxybutynin chloride in association with alcohol has been reported in a
`
`13-year-old boy who experienced memory loss, and a 34-year-old woman who developed stupor,
`
`followed by disorientation and agitation on awakening, dilated pupils, dry skin, cardiac
`
`arrhythmia, and retention of urine. Both patients fully recovered with symptomatic treatment.

`
`Oxybutynin chloride is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 393.9. It is readily
`
`soluble in water and acids, but relatively insoluble in alkalis.
`
`DITROPAN XL® also contains the following inert
`
`ingredients: butylated hydroxytoluene,
`
`cellulose acetate, hypromellose, lactose, magnesium stearatc, polyethylene glycol, polyethylene
`
`oxide, polysorbate 80, propylene glycol, sodium chloride, synthetic iron oxides and titanium
`dioxide.
`
`System Components and Performance
`DITROPAN XLQQ uses osmotic pressure to deliver oxybutynin chloride at a controlled rate over
`approximately 24 hours. The system, which resembles a conventional tablet in appearance,
`
`comprises an osmotieally active bilayer core surrounded by a semipermeable membrane. The
`
`bilayer core is composed of a drug layer containing the drug and excipients, and a push layer
`
`containing osmotieally active components. There is a precision—laser drilled orifice in the
`
`semipermeable membrane on the drug—layer side of the tablet. In an aqueous environment, such
`
`as the gastrointestinal tract, water permeates through the membrane into the tablet core, causing
`
`the drug to go into suspension and the push layer to expand. This expansion pushes the
`
`suspended drug out through the orifice. The semipermeable membrane controls the rate at which
`
`water permeates into the tablet core, which in turn controls the rate of drug delivery. The
`
`lumen is thus independent of pH or
`controlled rate of drug delivery into the gastrointestinal
`gastrointestinal motility. The function of DITROPAN XL® depends on the existence of an
`
`osmotic gradient between the contents of the bilayer core and the fluid in the gastrointestinal
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2036 - 0009
`
`

`
`tract. Since the osmotic gradient remains constant, drug delivery remains essentially constant.
`
`The biologically inert components of the tablet remain intact during gastrointestinal transit and
`are eliminated in the feces as an insoluble shell.
`
`12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
`
`12.1 Mechanism of Action
`
`Oxybutynin relaxes bladder smooth muscle. Oxybutynin chloride exerts a direct antispasmodic
`
`effect on smooth muscle and inhibits the muscarinic action of acetylcholine on smooth muscle.
`
`No blocking effects occur
`
`at
`
`skeletal neuromuscular
`
`junctions or autonomic ganglia
`
`(antinicotinic effects).
`
`Antimuscarinic
`
`activity
`
`resides
`
`predominantly
`
`in
`
`the
`
`R—isomer.
`
`A metabolite,
`
`desethyloxybutynin, has pharmacological activity similar to that of oxybutynin in in vitro
`studies.
`
`12.2 Pharmacodynamics
`
`In patients with conditions characterized by involuntary bladder contractions, cystometric studies
`
`have demonstrated that oxybutynin increases bladder
`
`(vesical) capacity, diminishes
`
`the
`
`frequency of uninhibited contractions of the detrusor muscle, and delays the initial desire to void.
`
`12.3 Pharmacokinetics
`
`Absorption
`
`Following the first dose of DITROPAN XLW, oxybutynin plasma concentrations rise for 4 to 6
`hours;
`thereafter
`steady concentrations are maintained for up to 24 hours, minimizing
`
`fluctuations between peak and trough concentrations associated with oxybutynin.
`
`The relative bioavailabilitics of R- and S-oxybutynin from DITROPAN XL‘/F“ are 156% and
`
`187%, respectively, compared with oxybutynin. The mean pharmacokinetic parameters for R-
`
`and S—oxybutynin are summarized in Table 2. The plasma concentration—time profiles for R- and
`
`S—oxybutynin are similar in shape; Figure 1 shows the profile for R—oxybutynin.

`are achieved by Day 3 of repeated
`Steady state oxybutynin plasma concentrations
`DITROPAN XL® dosing, with no observed drug accumulation or change in oxybutynin and
`
`desethyloxybutynin pharmacokinetic parameters.
`
`DITROPAN XL® steady state pharmacokinetics were studied in 19 children aged 5-15 years
`with detrusor overactivity associated with a neurological condition (e.g., spina bifida). The
`children were on DITROPAN XL® total daily dose ranging from 5 to 20 mg (0.10 to
`0.77 mg/kg). Sparse sampling technique was used to obtain serum samples. When all available
`data are normalized to an equivalent of 5 mg per day of DITROPAN XL®,
`the mean
`pharmacokinetic parameters derived for R- and S-oxybutynin and R- and S-desethyloxybutynin
`
`are summarized in Table 3. The plasma-time concentration profiles for R- and S-oxybutynin are
`
`similar in shape; Figure 2 shows the profile for R-oxybutynin when all available data are
`
`normalized to an equivalent of 5 mg per day.

`
`Food Effects
`
`The rate and extent of absorption and metabolism of oxybutynin are similar under fed and fasted
`conditions.
`
`Distribution
`
`Oxybutynin is widely distributed in body tissues following systemic absorption. The volume of
`
`distribution is 193 L after intravenous administration of 5 mg oxybutynin chloride. Both
`
`enantiomers of oxybutynin are highly bound (>99%) to plasma proteins. Both enantiomers of
`
`N-desethyloxybutynin are also highly bound (>97%) to plasma proteins. The major binding
`
`protein is alpha-l acid glycoprotein.
`
`Metabolism
`
`Oxybutynin is metabolized primarily by the cytochrome P450 enzyme systems, particularly
`
`CYP3A4 found mostly in the
`
`liver
`
`and gut wall.
`
`Its metabolic products
`
`include
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2036 - 0012
`
`

`
`phenylcyclohexylglycolic acid, which is pharmacologically inactive, and desethyloxybutynin,
`which is pharmacologically active. Following DITROPAN XLW administration, plasma
`concentrations of R— and S-desethyloxybutynin are 73% and 92%, respectively, of concentrations
`
`observed with oxybutynin.
`
`Excretion
`
`Oxybutynin is extensively metabolized by the liver, with less than 0.1% of the administered dose
`
`excreted unchanged in the urine. Also, less than 0.1% ofthe administered dose is excreted as the
`
`metabolite desethyloxybutynin.
`
`Dose Proportionality
`
`Pharmacokinetic parameters of oxybutynin and desethyloxybutynin (Chm, and AUC) following
`administration of5—2O mg of DITROPAN XL® are dose proportional.
`
`Use in Specific Populations
`Pediatric
`
`The pharmacokinetics of DITROPAN XL“ were evaluated in 19 children aged 5-15 years with
`detrusor overactivity associated with a neurological condition (e.g.,
`spina bifida). The
`pharmacokinetics of DITROPAN Xlfm in these pediatric patients were consistent with those
`
`reported for adults (see Tables 2 and 3, and Figures 1 and 2 above).
`
`Gender
`
`There are no significant differences in the pharmacokinctics of oxybutynin in healthy male and
`female volunteers following administration of DITROPAN XL®.
`
`Race
`
`there are no significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of
`that
`Available data suggest
`oxybutynin based on race in healthy volunteers following administration of DITROPAN XL”.
`
`13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
`
`13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
`
`A 24-month study in rats at dosages of oxybutynin chloride of 20, 80, and 160 mg/kg/day
`
`showed no evidence of carcinogenicity. These doses are approximately 6, 25, and 50 times the
`
`maximum human exposure, based on a human equivalent dose taking into account normalization
`
`of body surface area.
`
`Oxybutynin
`
`chloride
`
`showed
`
`no
`
`increase of mutagenic
`
`activity when
`
`tested
`
`in
`
`Schizosaccharomyces
`
`p()mpl1olicq'fiJi*mis',
`
`Saccharomyces
`
`cerev:'.s'i'ae,
`
`and
`
`Salmonella
`
`zfyphimufium test systems.
`
`Reproduction studies with oxybutynin chloride in the mouse, rat, hamster, and rabbit showed no
`
`evidence of impaired fertility.

`
`14 CLINICAL STUDIES
`
`DITROPAN XL® was evaluated for the treatment of patients with overactive bladder with
`symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency in three controlled efficacy
`
`studies. The majority of patients were Caucasian (89.0%) and female (91.9%) with a mean age of
`
`59 years (range, 18 to 98 years). Entry criteria required that patients have urge or mixed
`
`incontinence (with a predominance of urge) as evidenced by 2 6 urge incontinence episodes per
`
`week and 2 10 micturitions per day. Study 1 was a fixed-dose escalation design, whereas the
`
`other two studies used a dose-adjustment design in which each patient’s final dose was adjusted
`
`to a balance between improvement of incontinence symptoms and tolerability of side effects. All
`
`three studies included patients known to be responsive to oxybutynin or other anticholinergie
`
`medications, and these patients were maintained on a final dose for up to 2 weeks.
`
`The efficacy results for the three controlled trials are presented in the following tables and
`
`figures.
