`
`Introduction and drug history: IC351 is a potent, competitive and reversible inhibitor of CGMP
`specific PDE type .5 for an indication of ED under IND 54,553. It is also currently being investigated for
`——- under IND 1 .__. Major toxicities are irreversible seminiferous testicular atrophy and vasculitis in
`dogs. The original submission by ICOS Corporation was placed on clinical hold because of vasculitis
`findings in dogs and the high daily clinical dose up to 100 mg.

`
`1.
`
`Recommendations
`
`II.
`
`A. Recommendation on Approvability: The preclinical studies conducted support the safety
`of the proposed dose of 20 mg of Cialis.
`
`B. Recommendation for Nonclinical Studies: The 2-year carcinogenicity studies in male rats,
`and male and female mice were conducted at doses below those recommended by the ICH
`guidelines (see Exectutive CAC minutes in appendex 1]) based on the AUC exposures for the 20
`mg human dose. The Committee recommended an additional alternative mouse carcinogenicity
`assay be conducted for Phase IV commitment unless the sponsor provided evidence for
`saturation of absorption by measuring either total radioactivity or metabolites.
`
`C. Recommendations on Labeling: Refer to the labeling comments.
`
`Summary of Nonclinical Findings '
`A. Brief Overview of Nonclinical Findings: Effective antihypertensive oral doses of
`lC35l were 1 mg/kg in the rat. Reduction in mean blood pressure occurred at doses from 20
`mg/kg without effects on heart/respiration rate in conscious dogs, but moderate tachycardia was
`seen in a dog (1/2) at 30 mg/kg and in both dogs at 100 mg/kg in another study. The
`cardiovascular effects were not observed in the repeated toxicity studies. IC351 potentiated atrial
`natriuretic factor (ANI-‘)—induced diuresis and natriuresis in rats at lower doses (0.1 mg/kg, i.v.)
`than those required for decreasing blood pressure. Slight-to~moderate ptosis and depression of
`the pinnal reflex were observed in rats given 200 mg/kg. lC35l did not cause death up to 2,000
`mg/kg (p.o.) in mice and rats in acute studies. Like other PDE5 inhibitors, the major findings of
`lC35l treatment in repeated dose studies are arteritis and testicular degeneration/auophy
`observed in multiple species. lC35l was not genotoxic and the carcinogenicity studies were
`negative although hepatocellular adenomas/carcinomas were observed with increased frequency
`in high dose male mice and rats. Reproductive and developmental studies: in mice and rats
`displayed no adverse effects on fertility at doses up to 1,000 mg/kg. Mice: were used for a second
`rodent species of embryo/fetal development studies since plasma exposure for rabbits was
`minimal. A NOAEL for maternal toxicity was established at 1,000 mg/kg; in mice and 200 mg/kg
`in rats (based on reduced body weight gain). A NOAEL for F1 developmental toxicity in the rat
`could not be identified due to significantly reduced postnatal survival in all dose groups from the
`combined segment I1/III study. Sponsor defined a NOAEL of 30 mg/kg from a subsequent study,
`which gives 9-fold exposure for the unbound parent drug (pregnant rat) to the human exposure at
`20 mg. lC35l is a mild ocular and dermal irritant in New Zealand White rabbits.
`
`B. Pharm acologic Activity: lC35l is a potent and selective inhibitor of PDE5 among the PDES
`tested in vitro. PDE5 is a major cGM.P-hydrolyzing enzyme in human cavemosal smooth muscle,
`and theinhibition of PDE5 by lC35l enhances relaxant effects of NO by stimulating CGMP
`levels. This leads to relaxation of penile resistance arteries and the smooth muscle to enhance the
`erectile response. lC35l strongly potentiated the inhibitory effects of sodium nitropnrsside (SNP)
`on human platelet aggregation with complete inhibition at 0.25 u.M, and on increased cGMP
`levels in human cavemosal smooth muscle, suggesting that the PDE5 inhibition by lC35l may
`lead to large increases in cGMP levels once activated. lC35l retains relatively low selectivity for
`PDE5 vs. human PDEI IA (abstract from Am. Coll. Clin. Pharmacol., VA, 2001), which was
`widely expressed in kidney, liver, pituitary/salivary glands and testis (PNAS 97: 3702, 2000).
`Thus, phannacological characterization of lC35l on human PDEI IA may provide additional
`information on the mechanism of lC35l.

`
`
`C. Nonclinical Safety Issues Relevant to Clinical Use:
`1.
`Testicular degeneration/atrophy were observed with increased incidence in the 3-month
`toxicity study and the carconogenicity study in mice and in the 3-, 6- and 12-month toxicity
`studies in dogs with no/low safety margin at a NOAEL compared to the proposed human dose of
`20 mg. The findings are likely to be irreversible since the incidence was observed during the
`recovery in the 3- and 6-month dog studies. In men, there were no clinically significant effects on
`semen parameters up to 6 months with a clinical dose of 20 mg (#H6D-MC-LVCZ).
`
`Vasculitis findings should be interpreted cautiously since the relevance to humans and the
`2.
`pathogenic mechanism of drug-related vascular lesions in animals are poorly understood, and the
`specific biomarkers are not identified. IC351 treatment increased the incidence of vasculitis in
`mice, rats and dogs but the effects varied considerably between studies. in a 13-week study in
`mice, there was hemorrhage in mesenteric lymph nodes in the high dose group (400 mg/kg,
`approximately 9 times the maximum human exposure of unbound drug). In another 3-month
`study, there was minimal vasculitis in the high dose group receiving 800 mg/kg (7 times the
`maximum human exposure; exposure estimates varied between and within studies). In Wistar rats,
`vasculitis occurred in a number of tissues with slight/rninimal severity. In general, the incidence
`was only slightly higher in treated groups than in controls. These effects were seen at exposures
`anywhere from 2X (mesenteric phlebitis) to 33X the maximum human exposure. In dogs, findings
`of arteritis occurred in l and 6 month studies. Effects included perivascular inflammation in the '
`lungs, increased incidence of coronary arterial lesions and marked disseminated arteritis. These
`findings occurred in the absence of elevated heart rate and resulted in the drug being placed on
`clinical hold. The study pathologist, \ ¥——- concluded "the high incidence of arteritis that has
`been associated with high doses of IC351 in the 6-month dog study, and the predominance of
`arterial changes in the mid- and high-dose groups in the 1-month study are strongly suggestive of
`a treatment related change or treatment related exacerbation of the spontaneous polyarteritis". In
`general, drug effects were seen at exposures between 5 and 16 fold in the: 1-month study, and
`between 29 and 54 times in the 6-month study (as measured by mean AUC of unbound drug) the
`maximum human exposure. Due to the concerns about vasculitis, the Division requested a 12-
`month toxicology study in dogs. This study was essentially negative at exposures of 3-33 times
`the maximum human exposure but there was marked neutropenia/thrombocytopenia indicative of
`type I11 irnmunopathy in two dogs (exposures 14 and 18X human exposure). The high dose dog
`did have perivasculitis in -the circumflex branch of the Iefi coronary artery with clinical signs of
`fever, anorexia and lethargy. In humans, symptoms of hypersensitivity such as myalgia, infection
`and back pain were the most frequently reported adverse events associated with IC351. The
`sponsor concluded that neither back pain nor myalgia was associated with inflammatory or
`myopathic etiologies based on a clinical study, which measured erythrocyte sedimentation rate
`and serum creatinine kinase.
`
`In dogs, direct measurements of arttrial diameter, vascular resistance or blood flow were not
`conducted to determine if exaggerated hemodynarnic effects were associated with the vasculitis
`(clinical data indicate that combined treatment with antihypertensive drugs generally reduced the
`episode of myalgia and backpain). In the safety pharmacology studies, moderate tachycardia (40-
`60 bpm) was observed in dogs at doses 230 mg/kg (1/2 at 30 mg/kg & 2/2'. at 100 mg/kg). The _
`effective antihypertensive dose in rats is 1 mg/kg, po. In conscious dogs, single oral doses of 20
`and 200 mg/kg produced slight reductions in mean blood pressure without effects on heart rate or
`respiration rate. In the l-month study (D20863), the high dose produced a moderate decrease in
`heart rate with some vasculitis in the lung, spinal cord and thymus. In a 6-month study (D2l235),
`there were no drug-related changes in ECG but there was increased incidence and severity of
`arteritis with clinical signs in the high dose dogs. It seems that IC351 can induce vascular changes
`in the absence of any sigr‘1i;ficant effect on cardiac function.

`
`MonoSol 1019-0006
`
`
`
`In dogs with drug blood levels below approximately 29 times the human exposure, vascular
`effects, if any, were minimal to slight. In one 28-day study, D20863, there were positive effects
`(perivascular inflammation in the lungs in 3/6 dogs vs. 0/6 in controls) at approximately the same
`exposure as men taking 20 mg. In the 12-month study, exposures at the high dose were up to 33
`times the human exposure to fi‘ee drug with essentially negative effects. lit is not known if humans
`are more or less sensitive to this effect than animals.
`
`.
`
`Although the data are not particularly convincing that the finding in animals is relevant to
`humans, hypersensitivity is the major manifestation of clinical drug-induced vasculitis. There
`were two dogs with symptoms of marked thrombocytopenia (14 and 18X the human exposure)
`indicative of type III immunopathy in the 12-month dog study and symptoms of back pain and
`myalgia as the most frequent adverse effects in men. Thus, it would seem to be prudent to include.
`in the label some infonnation on vasculitis in animals.

`
`‘:———-—-—————-’—r—'
`
`Primary pharmacodynamics:
`Mechanism of action: IC351 inhibits PDE5, a major cGMP-hydrolyzing enzyme in human
`cavemosal smooth muscle, and enhances relaxant effects of NO by stimulating CGMP levels. This leads
`to relaxation of penile resistance arteries and cavemosal trabecular smooth muscle (#00—00l0-1 l). »
`Drug activity related to proposed indication: IC351 enhances the erectile response by smooth
`muscle relaxation and inflow of blood into the penile tissues.
`
`0 Secondary pharmacodynamics: IC351 had no direct effect on human platelet aggregation but markedly
`potentiated the anti-aggregatory effect of soluble guanylyl cyclase activator sodium nitroprusside (SN?)
`in a dose-dependent manner (#97-002-14).
`
`Pharmacology summary: IC351 is a potent inhibitor of PDE5 among 10 PDEs (700- to 49,000-fold) in
`virro (#00-0006-l il). IC351 displays >l0,000-fold selectivity for PDE5 against PIDESA found in cardiac
`myocytes and 700-fold selectivity against PDE6 in photoreceptor. PDE5 was not present in human
`cardiac myocytes (#00-0009-1 l). The intermediate derivatives of IC351 (catechol and methylcatechol)
`and the methylcatechol glucuronide metabolite were 45- and 230-fold less potent than IC351 with some
`selectivity for PDE5. The major circulating metabolite in human plasma and urine, methylcatechol
`glucuronide, displays 13,000-fold less potency than IC351 as a PDE5 inhibitor, b-ut does not show
`selectivity. Sponsor stated that methylcatechol glucuronide would not have clinically significant effects
`on any of the human PDEs at concentrations achieved in human plasma following efficacious oral doses
`(#01 43007.1 1).
`
`Pharmacology conclusions: IC351 strongly potentiated the inhibitory effects of SN? on human platelet
`aggregation with complete inhibition at 0.25 11M, and increased cGMP levels in the presence of SNP in
`human cavemosal smooth muscle, suggesting that the PDE5 inhibition by IC351 may lead to large
`increases in CGMP levels once activated.
`
`II. SAFETY PHARMACOLOGY (see Reviews #1 for IND 54,553 ‘
`
`c.r——-——
`
`
`
`Safety pharmacology summary: IC351 produced emesis/tachycardia at 230 mg/kg (p.o.) in conscious
`dogs (1/2 at 30 mg/kg and 2/2 at 100 mg/kg) and ptosis/depression of the pinnal reflex at 200 mg/kg in
`rats. Decrease in mean arterial blood pressure was observed at 21 mg/kg (p.o.) in
`'
`hypertensive/normotensive rats and 220 mg/kg (p.o.) in conscious dogs. IC351 at cumulative i.v. doses of
`0.1 to 3 mg/kg produced dose-dependent decreases in blood pressure in anesthetized dogs secondary to
`decreased vascular resistance. Administration of IC351 to conscious guinea pigs at an oral dose of 400
`mg/kg produced significant reduction in heart rate and progressive bradycardia, concurrent with
`deteriorating clinical signs and weight loss resulting in death (#S2 1422). IC351 potentiated ANF-induced
`diuresis and natriuresis in rats at 0.1 mg/kg (i.v.). IC351 had affinity for the D2 receptor at l LLM.
`
`Safety pharmacology conclusions: The effective antihypertensive oral doses of IC351 were 1 mg/kg in
`the rat and 20 mg/kg in conscious dogs.
`'
`
`
`III. PHARIVIACOKINETICS (see Reviews #1/3/4 for IND 54,553

`
`achieved at a median time of 2 hrs afler dosing. Steady-state plasma coiicentrations were attained by Day
`5 with doses of 10- or 20 mg/day with a tug of 17.5 hours.
`
`Absorption: Absorption of IC35 1 is generally rapid in rats and dogs with Tm of 1 to 2 hours and 6
`hours with oral administration of 10 mg/kg [“'C]-IC35 1, respectively. Repeated oral dosing caused a
`variable and prolonged T.;.,,, suggesting the possibility of absorption in the lower intestinal tract. Oral
`bioavailability at 10 mg/kg was 34-53% in rats and 10-18% in dogs. Plasma half-life afier oral
`administration in rats and dogs could not be calculated due to the limited number of data points and a
`prolonged absorptive phase.
`
`Distribution: An. oral dose of [“'C]lC351 (10 mg/kg) to rats revealed the highest concentrations of
`radioactivity in the stomach, GI tract, thyroid and lung. By 168 hrs after dosing, radioactive drug-related
`material was not detected in any tissues except for the liver. Exposure to pregnant rats on gestation Day
`18 caused the highest concentrations of radioactivity in maternal adrenal gland, preputial gland and liver
`at 8 hours post-dose. Parent and/or metabolites of IC351 were detected in the m.atemal placenta, and
`fetal adrenal gland, blood, brain, eye, kidney, liver & myocardimn with substantially low exposure at 8
`hours post-dose, indicating the placental transfer.
`
`Metabolism: IC351 is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4 in human liver. Unchanged IC351
`accounted for 26% in human plasma, indicating an extensive metabolism. In human feces, the majority of
`the radioactivity was associated with metabolites after 24 hours. In human, dog and mouse liver slices,
`the major metabolite was the methylcatechol glucuronide. Catechol glucuronide was the most abundant
`metabolite in rat liver.
`
`Excretion: Major route of elimination of a radiolabled dose (100 mg) was the feces with 61% and urine
`with 36% in human by 13 days. Elimination of radioactivity in feces at a single dose of 10 mg/kg was
`98% in rats, 84% in male dogs and 63% in female dogs. Only 50.1% of administered IC351 is excreted
`in maternal milk over a 3 to 24 hour period, suggesting that maternal milk is not a major route of
`elimination for IC351 and metabolites.
`
`Protein binding: In vitro plasma protein binding to mouse, rat, dog and human was determined to be
`85%, 92%, 87% and 94%, respectively.
`
`PK/TK summary: Plasma concentrations generally increased sub-proportionally to the increased dose
`in mice, rats and dogs. Exposure was higher after 1 to 3 months in rats and dogs, suggesting
`accumulation in the plasma. The plasma exposure in pregnant rats following daily oral dosing fi'om
`gestation Days 6 through 12 was also less than proportional to dose over the range of 60 to 1000 mg/kg
`with Tm of 4 to 112 hours. The only gender difference was a higher exposure in female rats, and is not
`marked in humans.

`
`PK/TK conclusions: Metabolism was the primary mechanism for clearance of 113351 fi'om the systemic
`circulation with similar routes of biotransformation in mice, rats, dogs and humans. The major route of
`excretion was via the feces in both rats and dogs, indicating incomplete oral absorption and biliary
`excretion of metabolites. Slight— to moderate increases in hepatic enzyme activity and/or CYP45O content
`were observed in mice, rats and dogs after oral doses of 2400 mg/kg, indicating lC35l as a inducer of
`CYP450 isoenzymes.

`
`Results: Treatment was suspended for one 100- & one 400 mg/kg female dogs between Days 140 and
`166 & from Days 196 through the end of the study due to marked neutropenia (1,610/1.1L for 100 mg/kg
`& 310/p.L for 400 mg/kg compared to reference 3,300 to 11,600/uL) with moderate thrombocytopenia
`(90,000/uL for 100 mg/kg & 226,000/pl. for 400 mg/kg compared to reference levels of 191,000 to
`442,000/uL), which was initially identified on Day 91. Severe neutropenia (170/1.1L), moderately
`decreased platelets (11 1,000/111.), hyperglobulinernia, minimal anemia, minimal eosinopenia and I ALP
`in the absence of clinical signs were present in the 100 mg/kg dog on Day 140. The other blood
`dyscrasias included minimal monocytopenia, lymphopenia & eosinopenia in both dogs, which the
`sponsor considered to be due to stress. Clinical signs of fever (105.4 °F), anorexia & lethargy followed by
`minimal neutropenia (2,930/p.L), anemia, severe monocytosis & slight hyperglobulinemia compatible
`with inflammation occurred in the 400 mg/kg dog on Day 128. Abdominal radiographs taken on Days
`128 & 288 excluded an occult inflammatory focus or splenic enlargement. Antibiotic therapy was
`initiated on Day 128 due to signs of inflammation (lbasophilia/Déhle bodies). After removal from
`antibiotics on Day 138, clinical signs returned to normal with severe neutropenia (200/pl.) & neutrophil
`alterations. The dog became febrile & developed neck pain/inappetence on Day 141 despite the
`reinstatement of antibiotic on Day 139. Additional aspirin & antibiotics were administered on Days 146
`through 154. Following drug removal (& antibiotic & supportive therapy in the 400 mg/kg) on Days 140
`(400 mg/kg) & 142 (100 mg/kg), dosing resumed on Days 161 (400 mg/kg) & 166 (100 mg/kg). Marked
`neutropenia (1,130/ttL for 100 mg/kg & 1,210/p.L for 400 mg/kg) and/or minimal thrombocytopenia
`developed within 8 days in the 400 mg/kg or within 10 days in the 100 mg/kg dog. These dogs were
`clinically asymptomatic until Days 195 when the 400 mg/kg dog developed clinical signs of
`stiffiiess/neck pain/anorexia, neutrophilia (10,250/11L), monocytosis & hyperglobulinernia
`Discontinuation of lC351 on Day 196 retunfed the neutrophil (Day 204 for 100 mg/kg & Dat 196 for 400
`mg/kg) and/or platelet counts (Day 208 for 100 mg/kg) within the reference interval & without clinical
`signs. Bone marrow aspirates and core biopsies from humerus taken from these 2 dogs on Day 196
`demonstrated no abnormalities but increased numbers of immature neutrophilic precursors and
`myeloid/megakaryocytic hyperplasia, which were less pronounced on Days 231 (100 mg/kg) or 285 (400
`mg/kg) and absent on Day 366. Sponsor considered the findings to be idiosyncratic and not a result of a
`direct compound~:related effect on early neutrophil precursors or on bone marrow. The high—dose female
`had a single focus of perivasculitis in the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery. The 100 mg/kg
`dog showed a pituitary neuroblastoma, which was considered to be spontaneous.

`
`epithelium was characterized by disassociation or vacuolation of seminiferous epithelium, mutinucleated
`cells, exfoliated germ cells, pyknotic sperrnatids, megalospermatids, attenuation or loss of cell layers,
`and/or increase in Leydig cells. Low numbers of tubules also had markedly enlarged cells of
`spermatogonia with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm & round nuclei with rarefaction of the chromatin.
`Scattered tubules had individual cell necrosis of the mitotic spermatocytes and/or elongating spermatids.
`Atrophy of the seminiferous epithelium was characterized by seminiferous tubules lined by only Sertoli
`cells and/or spermatogonia. Degeneration and atrophy were more pronounced in the periphery of the
`affected testes. These testes were decreased overall in diameter with obliteration of the lumen or
`
`1
`
`attenuation of the epithelium with increased intralurninal space compared to controls. Aspermia were
`also noted, which was considered secondary to decreased testicular sperm production.

`Table below summarizes the results for the rest of the animals except the 2 female dogs with marked
`, neutropenia. No drug—related arteritis lesions occurred in the present study, due perhaps to lower blood
`

`No dmg-related mortality was observed.
`Abnormal feces were more fi'equently observed in all treated groups. There was dose-dependent decrease
`in mean body weight in females, which was observed by 6 weeks after study initiation, & maintained
`without additional changes. WBC parameters of reticulocytes, neutrophils and monocytes were decreased
`from mid dose. lC35l produced slight dose-dependent increases in CYP45O content in males with
`increased liver weight. Increased adrenal weight was observed with enlarged/mutifocal agonal
`hemorrhage and multifocal accessory structure in a high dose male dog. Slightly increased incidence of
`hepatic leukocytosis/centrilobular pigmentation was found in the high dose group». Sponsor considered
