`49 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
`50 Mechanism of Action
`51
`Sirolimus inhibits T lymphocyte activation and proliferation that occurs in response to
`antigenic and cytokine (Interleukin [IL ]-2, IL-4, and IL-15) stimulation by a mechanism that
`52
`is distinct from that of other immunosuppressants. Sirolimus also inhibits antibody
`53
`54
`production. In cells, sirolimus binds to the immunophilin, FK Binding Protein-12 (FKBP-
`55
`12), to generate an immunosuppressive complex. The sirolimus:FKBP-12 complex has no
`56
`effect on cakineurin activity. This complex binds to and inhibits the activation of the
`57 mammalian Target OfRapamycin (mTOR), a key regulatory kinase. This inhibition
`58
`suppresses cytokine-driven T-cell proliferation, inhibiting the progression from the G 1 to the
`S phase of the cell cycle.

`78 Absorption
`
`Studies in experimental models show that sirolimus prolongs allograft (kidney, heart, skin,
`islet, small bowel, pancreatico-duodenal, and bone marrow) survival in mice, rats, pigs,
`and/or primates. Sirolimus reverses acute rejection of heart and kidney allografts in rats and
`prolonged the graft survival in presensitized rats. In some studies, the immunosuppressive
`effect of sirolimus lasted up to 6 months after discontinuation of therapy. This tolerization
`effect is alloantigen specific.
`
`ln rodent models of autoimmune disease, sirolimus suppresses immune-mediated events
`associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, collagen-induced arthritis, autoimmune type I
`diabetes, autoimmune myocarditis, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, graft-versus-host
`disease, and autoimmune uveoretinitis.
`
`Pbarmacokinetics
`Sirolimus pharmacokinetic activity has been determined following oral administration in
`healthy subjects, pediatric dialysis patients, hepatically-impaired patients, and renal
`transplant patients.

`(
`
`FoJlowing administration of Rapamune® Oral Solution, sirolimus is rapidly absorbed, with a
`mean time-to-peak concentration (lma,) of approximately 1 hour after a single dose in healthy
`subjects and approximately 2 hours after multiple oral doses in renal transplant recipients.
`The systemic availability of sirolimus was estimated to be approximately 14 % after the
`administration of Rapamune Oral Solution. The mean bioavailability of sirolimus after
`administration of the tablet is about 27% higher relative to the oral solution. Sirolimus oral
`tablets are not bioequivalent to the oral solution; however, clinical equivalence has been
`demonstrated at the 2-mg dose level. (See Clinical Studies and Dosage and Administration).
`Sirolimus concentrations, following the administration of Rapamune Oral Solution to stable
`renal transplant patients, are dose proportional between 3 and 12 mg/m2
`•
`
`Food effects: In 22 healthy volunteers receiving Rapamune Oral Solution, a high-fat meal
`( 1.88 kcal, 54. 7% fat) altered the bioavailability characteristics of sirolimus. Compared to
`fasting, a 34% decrease in the peak blood sirolimus concentration (CmaJ, a 3.5-fold increase
`in the time-to-peak concentration (\nax}, and a 35% increase in total exposure (AUC) was
`observed. After administration ofRapamune Tablets and a high-fat meal in 24 healthy
`volunteers, Cm.ax• lmax• and AUC showed increases of 65%, 32%, and 23%, respectively. To
`minimize variability, both Rapamune Oral Solution and Tablets should be taken consistently
`with or without food (See DOSAGE AND ADMINJSTRA TION).
`
`Distribution
`The mean (± SD) blood-to-plasma ratio of sirolimus was 36 (± 17 .9) in stable renal allograft
`recipients, indicating that sirolimus is extensively partitioned into formed blood elements.
`The mean volume of distribution {V5/F) of sirolimus is 12 ± 7.52 L/kg. Sirolimus is
`extensively bound (approximately 92%) to human plasma proteins. In man, the binding of
`sjrolimus was shown mainly to be associated with serum albumin (97%), a 1-acid
`glycoprotein, and lipoproteins.
`
`Metabolism
`Sirolimus is a substrate for both cytochrome P450 IIIA4 (CYP3A4) and P-glycoprotein.
`Sirolimus is extensively metabolized by 0-demethylation and/or hydroxylation. Seven (7)
`major metabolites, including hydroxy, demethyl, and hydroxydemethyl, are identifiable in
`whole blood. Some of these metabolites are also detectable in plasma, fecal, and urine
`samples. Glucuronide and sulfate conjugates are not present in any of the biologic matrices.
`Sirolimus is the major component in human whole blood and contributes to more than 90%
`of the immunosuppressive activity.
`
`Excretion
`After a single dose of [1"C]sirolimus in healthy volunteers, the majority (91 %) of
`radioactivity was recovered from the feces, and only a minor amount (2.2%) was excreted in
`unne.

`203 CLINICAL STUDIES
`Rapamune~ Oral Solution: The saf~ty and efficacy of Rapamune~ Oral Solution for the
`204
`205
`prevention of organ rejection following renal transplantation were assessed in two
`206
`randomized, double-blind, multicenter, controlled trials. These studies compared two dose
`levels ofRapamune Oral Solution (2 mg and 5 mg, once daily) with azathioprine (Study 1)
`207
`
`Race: In large phase III trials using Rapamune Oral Solution and cycJosporine oral solution
`(MODIFIED) (eg, Neoral~Oral Solution) and/or cyclosporine capsules (MODIFIED) (e.g.,
`Neoral~ Soft Gelatin Capsules), there were no significant differences in mean trough
`siroliMus concentrations over time between black (n = 139) and non-black (n = 724) patients
`during the first 6 months after transplantation at sirolimus doses of 2 mg/day and 5 mg/day.
`Similarly, after administration of Rapamune Tablets (2 mg/day) in a phase Ill trial, mean
`sirolimus trough concentrations over 6 months were not significantly different among black
`(n = 51) and non-black (n = 128) patients.

`or placebo (Study 2) when administered in combination with cycJosporine and
`corticosteroids. Study 1 was conducted in the United States at 38 sites. Seven hundred
`nineteen (719) patients were enroJled in this trial and randomized foJlowing transplantation;
`284 were randomized to receive Rapamune Oral Solution 2 mg/day, 274 were randomized to
`receive Rapamune Oral Solution 5 mg/day, and 161 to receive azathioprine 2-3 mg/kg/day.
`Study 2 was conducted in Au~.n1lia, Canada, Europe, and the United States, at a total of 34
`sites. Five hundred seventy-six (576) patients were enrolled in this trial and randomized
`before transplantation; 227 were randomized to receive Rapamune Oral Solution 2 mg/day,
`219 were randomized to receive Rapamune Oral Solution 5 mg/day, and 130 to receive
`placebo. In both studies, the use of antilymphocyte antibody induction therapy was
`prohibited. In both studies, the primary efficacy endpoint was the rate of efficacy failure in
`the first 6 months after transplantation. Efficacy failure was defined as the first occurrence
`of an acute rejection episode ( confinned by biopsy), graft loss, or death.
`
`The tables below summarize the results of the primary efficacy analyses from these trials.
`Rapamune Oral Solution, at doses of 2 mg/day and 5 mg/day, significantly reduced the
`incidence of efficacy failure (statistical1y significant at the <0.025 level; nominal
`significance level adjusted for multiple [2] dose comparisons) at 6 months following
`transplantation compared to both azathioprine and placebo.

`
`Mean glomerular filtration rates (GFR) at one year post transplant were caJculated by using
`the NankivelJ equation for alJ subjects in Studies 1 and 2 who had serum creatinine
`measured at 12 months. In Studies I and 2 mean GFR, at 12 months, were lower in patients
`treated with cycJosporine and Rapamune Oral Solution compared to those treated with
`cycJosporine and the respective azathioprine or placebo control.
`
`Within each treatment group in Studies l and 2, mean GFR at one year post transplant was
`lower in patients who experienced at least l episode of biopsy-proven acute rejection,
`compared to those who did not.
`
`Renal function should be monitored and appropriate adjustment of the immunosuppression
`regimen should be considered in patients with elevated serum creatinine levels (see
`PRECAUTIONS).
`
`Rapamune® Tablets: The safety and efficacy ofRapamune Oral Solution and Rapamune
`Tablets for the prevention of organ rejection following renal transplantation were compared
`in a randomized multicenter controJied trial (Study 3). This study compared a single dose
`level (2 mg, once daily) ofRapamune Oral Solution and Rapamune Tablets when
`administered in combination with cycJosporine and corticosteroids. The study was
`conducted at 30 centers in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Four hundred seventy(cid:173)
`seven (477) patients were enrolled in this study and randomized before transplantation; 238
`patients were randomized to receive Rapamune Oral Solution 2 mg/day and 239 patients
`were randomized to receive Rapamune Tablets 2 mg/day. In this study, the use of
`antilympr..ocyte antibody induction therapy was prohibited. The primary efficacy endpoint
`was the rate of efficacy failure in the first 3 months after transplantation. Efficacy failure
`was defined as the first occurrence of an acute rejection episode (confirmed by biopsy), graft
`Joss, or death.
`
`The table below summarizes the result of the primary efficacy analysis at 3 months from this
`trial. The overa11 rate of efficacy failure in the tablet treatment group was equivalent to the
`rate in the oral solution treatment group.

`
`
`INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`Rapamune is indicated for the prophylaxis of organ rejection in patients receiving renal
`transplants. It is recommended that Rapamune be used in a regimen with cyclosporine and
`corticosteroids.
`
`3U2
`303
`304
`305
`306
`307
`308 CONTRAINDICATIONS
`309 Rapamune is contraindicated in patients with a hypersensitivity to sirolimus or its
`310
`derivatives or any component of the drug product.
`311
`312
`313 WARNINGS
`314
`. Increased susceptibiJity to infection and the possible development of lymphoma and other
`315 malignancies, particularly of the skin, may result from immunosuppression (see ADVERSE
`316 REACTIONS). Oversuppression of the immune system can also increase susceptibility to
`317
`infection including opportunistic infections, fatal infections, and sepsis. Only physicians
`318
`experienced in immunosuppressive therapy and management of organ transplant patients
`319
`should use Rapamune. Patients receiving the drug should be managed in facilities equipped
`320
`and staffed with adequate laboratory and supportive medical resources. The physician
`321
`responsible for maintenance therapy should have complete information requisite for the
`fo11ow-up of the patient.
`322
`323
`324 As usual for patients with increased risk for skin cancer, exposure to sunlight and UV light
`325
`should be limited by wearing protective clothing and using a sunscreen with a high
`326
`protection factor.
`32i
`328
`329
`330
`331
`In phase III studies, mean serum creatinine was increased and mean glomerular filtration rate
`332
`333 was decreased in patients treated with Rapamune and cyclosporine compared to those treated
`334 with cyclosporine and placebo or azathioprine controls (see CLINJCAL STUDIES). Rc.nal
`335
`function should be monitored during the administration of maintenance immunosuppression
`336
`regimens including Rapamune in combination with cyclosporine, and appropriate
`337
`adjustment of the immunosuppression regimen should be considered in patients with
`elevated serum creatinine h:vels. Caution should be exercised when using agents which are
`338
`339
`known to impair renal function (see PRECAUTIONS).
`340
`341
`In clinical trials, Rapamune has been administered concurrently with corticosteroids and
`342
`343 with the following formulations of cyclosporine:
`344
`345
`346
`
`Increased serum cholesterol and triglycerides, that may require treatment, occurred more
`frequently in patients treated with Rapamune compared to azathioprine or placebo controls.
`(see PRECAUTIONS).

`PRECAUTIONS
`356 General
`357 Raparnune is intended for ora] administration only.
`358
`· Lymphoce]e, a known surgical complication ofrena] transplantation, occurred significantly
`359
`360 more often in a dose-related fashion in Raparnune-treated patients. Appropriate post-
`361
`operative measures should be considered to minimize this complication.

`In pnase III cJinica] tria]s, in de novo rena] transplant recipients who began the study with
`373
`normal, fasting, total serum triglycerides (fasting serum triglycerides< 200 mg/dL), there
`374
`375 was an increased incidence ofhypertrig]yceridemia (fasting serum triglycerides> 500
`376 mg/dL) in patients receiving Raparnune® 2 mg and Raparnune® 5 mg compared to
`377
`azathioprine and placebo controls.
`378
`379
`380
`381
`382
`383 Rena] transplant patients have a higher prevalence of clinically significant hyper1ipidemia.
`384 Accordingly, the risk/benefit should be carefully considered in patients with established
`385
`hyper1ipidemia before initiating an imrnunosuppressive regimen including Raparnune.
`386
`387 Any patient who is administered Raparnune should be monitored for hyperJipidemia using
`388
`laboratory tests and ifhyperlipidemia is detected, subsequent interventions such as diet, ·
`389
`exercise, and lipid-lowering agents, as outlined by the National Cho]estero] Education
`390
`Program guidelines, should be initiated.
`
`In phase III c1inical trials, in de novo renal transplant recipients who began the study with
`normal, fasting, total serum cho]estero] (fasting serum cholesterol< 200 mg/dL), there was
`an increased incidence of hypercholestero]emia (fasting serum cho1estero1 > 240 mg/dL) in
`patients receiving both Rapamune® 2 mg and Rapamune® 5 mg compared to azathioprine
`and placebo controls.
`
`Lipids
`The use ofRapamune® in renal transplant patients was associated with increased serum
`cho1estero1 and triglycerides that may require treatment.
`
`Treatment of new-onset hypercho1estero1emia with Jipid-Jowering agents was required in 42
`-52% of patients enrolled in the Raparnune arms of the study compared to 16% of patients in
`the placebo arm and 22% of patients in the azathioprine arm.

`
`
`
`Renal Function
`Patients treated with cyclosporine and Rapamune were noted to have higher serum creatinine
`levels and lower glomerular filtration rates compared to patients treated with cyclosporine
`and placebo or azathioprine controls. Renal function should be monitored during the
`administration of maintenance immunosuppression regimens including Rapamtine in
`combination with cyclosporine, and appropriate adjustment of the immunosuppression
`regimen should be considered in patients with elevated serum creatinine levels. Caution
`should be exercised when using agents (eg, aminoglycosides, and amphotericin B) that are
`known to have a deleterious effect on renal function.
`
`391
`In the limited number of patients studied, the concomitant administration ofRapamune and
`392
`393 HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and/or fibrates appeared to be well tolerated. Nevertheless,
`394 . alJ patients administered Rapamune with cyclosporine, in conjunction with an HMG-CoA
`395
`reductase inhibitor, should be monitored for the development ofrhabdomyolysis.
