`FULL PRESCRIBING INFORIVIATION
`
`1
`INDICAT'IONS AND USAGE
`RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion is indicated to increase tear production in patients whose tear production is
`presumed to be suppressed due to ocular inflammation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Increased tear
`production was not seen in patients currently taking topical anti-inflammatory drugs or using punctal plugs.
`
`2
`
`DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`
`Invert the unit dose vial a few times to obtain a uniform, white, opaque emulsion before using. Instill one drop
`of RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion twice a day in each eye approximately 12 hours apart. RESTASIS® can
`be used concomitantly with artificial tears, allowing a 15 minute interval between products. Discard vial
`immediately after use.
`
`3
`
`DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
`
`Ophthalmic emulsion containing cyclosporine 0.5 mg/mL
`
`4
`CONTRAINDICATIONS
`RESTASIS® is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in
`the formulation.
`
`5
`
`WARNIINTGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`
`Potential for Eye Injury and Contamination
`5.1
`To avoid the potential for eye injury and contamination, be careful not to touch the vial tip to your eye or other
`surfaces.
`
`5.2
`Use with Contact Lenses
`RESTASIS® should not be administered while wearing contact lenses. Patients with decreased tear production
`typically should not wear contact lenses. If contact lenses are worn, they should be removed prior to the
`administration of the emulsion. Lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes following administration of RESTASIS®
`ophthahnic emulsion.
`

`
`ADVERSE REACTIONS
`
`Clinical Trials Experience
`6.1
`Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, 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 practice.
`
`In clinical trials, the most common adverse reaction following the use of RESTASIS® was ocular burning
`(17%).
`
`Other reactions reported in 1% to 5% of patients included conjunctival hyperemia, discharge, epiphora, eye
`pain, foreign body sensation, pruritus, stinging, and visual disturbance (most often blurring).
`
`Post-marketing Experience
`6.2
`The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of RESTASIS®. Because these
`reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably
`estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
`
`2
`
`APOTEX 1043, pg. 2
`
`2
`
`

`

`Reported reactions have included: hypersensitivity (including eye swelling, urticaria, rare cases of severe
`angioedema, face swelling, tongue swelling, pharyngeal edema, and dyspnea); and superficial injluy of the eye
`(from the vial tip touching the eye during administration).
`

`
`USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
`
`8.1
`
`Pregnancy
`
`Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category C
`
`Adverse effects were seen in reproduction studies in rats and rabbits only at dose levels toxic to dams. At toxic
`doses (rats at 30 mg/kg/day and rabbits at 100 mg/kg/day), cyclosporine oral solution, USP, was embryo- and
`fetotoxic as indicated by increased pre- and postnatal mortality and reduced fetal weight together with related
`skeletal retardations. These doses are 5,000 and 32,000 times greater (normalized to body surface area),
`respectively, than the daily human dose of one drop (approximately 28 mcL) of 0.05% RESTASIS® twice daily
`into each eye of a 60 kg person (0.001 mg/kg/day), assuming that the entire dose is absorbed. No evidence of
`embryofetal toxicity was observed in rats or rabbits receiving cyclosporine at oral doses up to 17 mg/kg/day or
`30 mg/kg/day, respectively, during organogenesis. These doses in rats and rabbits are approximately 3,000 and
`10,000 times greater (normalized to body surface area), respectively, than the daily human dose.
`
`Offspring of rats receiving a 45 mg/kg/day oral dose of Cyclosporine fi'om Day 15 of pregnancy until Day 21
`postpartum, a maternally toxic level, exhibited an increase in postnatal mortality; this dose is 7,000 times
`greater than the daily human topical dose (0.001 mg/kg/day) normalized to body surface area assuming that the
`entire dose is absorbed. No adverse events were observed at oral doses up to 15 mg/kg/day (2,000 times greater
`than the daily human
`dose).
`
`There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of RESTASIS® in pregnant women. RESTASIS® should be
`administered to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
`
`Nursing Mothers
`8.3
`Cyclosporine is known to be excreted in human milk following systemic administration, but excretion in human
`milk after topical treatment has not been investigated. Although blood concentrations are undetectable after
`topical administration of RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion, caution should be exercised when RESTASIS® is
`administered to a nursing woman.
`
`8.4
`Pediatric Use
`The safety and efficacy of RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion have not been established in pediatric patients
`below the age of 16.
`
`8.5
`
`Geriatric Use
`
`No overall difference in safety or effectiveness has been observed between elderly and younger patients.
`
`11
`DESCRIPTION
`RESTASIS® (Cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion) 0.05% contains a topical immunomodulator with anti-
`inflammatory effects. Cyclosporine’s chemical name is Cyclo[[(E)-(2S,3R,4R)-3 -hydroxy-4~methyl—2-
`(methylamino)-6-octenoyl] -L-2-aminobutyryl-N-methylglycyl-N-methyl-L-1eucyl-L-valyl-N-methyl-L-leucyb

`
`Cyclosporine is a fine white powder. RESTASIS® appears as a white opaque to slightly translucent
`homogeneous emulsion. It has an osmolality of 230 to 320 mOsmo1/kg and a pH of 6.5-8.0. Each mL of
`RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion contains: Active: cyclosporine 0.05%. Inactives: glycerin; castor oil;
`polysorbate 80; carbomer copolymer type A; purified water; and sodium hydroxide to adjust pH.
`
`12
`
`CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
`
`12.1
`
`Mechanism of Action
`
`Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressive agent when administered systemically.
`
`In patients whose tear production is presumed to be suppressed due to ocular inflammation associated with
`keratoconjunctivitis sicca, cyclosporine emulsion is thought to act as a partial immunomodulator. The exact
`mechanism of action is not known.
`
`12.3
`
`Pliarmacokinetics
`
`Blood cyclosporine A concentrations were measured using a specific high pressure liquid chromatography-mass
`spectrometry assay. Blood concentrations of cyclosporine, in all the samples collected, afler topical
`administration of RESTASIS® 0.05%, twice daily, in humans for up to 12 months, were below the quantitation
`limit of 0.1 ng/mL. There was no detectable drug accumulation in blood during 12 months of treatment with
`RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion.
`
`13
`
`NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
`
`Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
`13.1
`Carcinogenesis: Systemic carcinogenicity studies were carried out in male and female mice and rats. In the 78-
`week oral (diet) mouse study, at doses of 1, 4, and 16 mg/kg/day, evidence of a statistically significant trend
`was found for lymphocytic lymphomas in females, and the incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas in mid-dose
`males significantly exceeded the control value.
`
`In the 24-month oral (diet) rat study, conducted at 0.5, 2, and 8 mg/kg/day, pancreatic islet cell adenomas
`significantly exceeded the control rate in the low dose level. The hepatocellular carcinomas and pancreatic islet
`cell adenomas were not dose related. The low doses in mice and rats are approximately 80 times greater
`(normalized to body surface area) than the daily human dose of one drop (approximately 28 mcL) of 0.05%
`RESTASIS® twice daily into each eye of a 60 kg person (0.001 mg/kg/day), assuming that the entire dose is
`absorbed.
`
`Mutagenesis: Cyclosporine has not been found to be mutagenicfgenotoxic in the Ames Test, the V79-HGPRT
`Test, the micronucleus test in mice and Chinese hamsters, the chromosome-aberration tests in Chinese hamster
`

`
`

`

`bone-marrow, the mouse dominant lethal assay, and the DNA—repair test in sperm from treated mice. A study
`analyzing sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induction by cyclosporine using human lymphocytes in vitro gave
`indication of a positive effect (i.e., induction of SCE).
`
`Impairment ofFertility: No impairment in fertility was demonstrated in studies in male and female rats
`receiving oral doses of cyclosporine up to 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 2,000 times the human daily dose of
`0.001 mg/kg/day normalized to body surface area) for 9 weeks (male) and 2 weeks (female) prior to mating.
`
`14
`
`CLINICAL STUDIES
`
`Four multicenter, randomized, adequate and well-controlled clinical studies were performed in approximately
`1,200 patients with moderate to severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca. RESTASIS® demonstrated statistically
`significant increases in Schirmer wetting of 10 mm versus vehicle at six months in patients whose tear
`production was presumed to be suppressed due to ocular inflammation. This effect was seen in approximately
`15% of RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion-treated patients versus approximately 5% of vehicle-treated patients.
`Increased tear production was not seen in patients currently taking topical anti-inflammatory drugs or using
`punctal plugs.
`
`No increase in bacterial or fungal ocular infections was reported following administration of RESTASIS®.
`
