6 Adverse Reactions

6.2 Postmarketing Experience

Newly created subsection:

The following adverse reactions have been identified during postmarketing use of KERYDIN. 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 product exposure:

Hypersensitivity; contact allergy

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

PLLR conversion, additions and/or revisions underlined:

Risk Summary

There are no available data on KERYDIN use in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In oral animal reproductive studies, administration of tavaborole during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryofetal toxicity and malformations at 570 times the Maximum Recommended Human Dose (MRHD) based on Area Under the Curve (AUC) comparisons in rats and embryofetal toxicity at 155 times the MRHD based on AUC comparisons in rabbits. Embryofetal toxicity was noted following dermal administration in rabbits up to 36 times the MRHD based on AUC comparisons.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies carry some risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The background risk of major birth defects in the U.S. general population is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.

8.2 Lactation

PLLR conversion; newly created subsection:

Risk Summary

There is no information available on the presence of KERYDIN in human milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant or the effects of the drug on milk production after topical application of KERYDIN to women who are breastfeeding. KERYDIN is systemically absorbed. The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of KERYDIN to a breastfed infant. Therefore, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for KERYDIN and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from KERYDIN or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

The safety and efficacy of KERYDIN were established in patients 6 years of age and older. Use of

KERYDIN in these age groups is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of KERYDIN in adults with additional data from an open-label pharmacokinetics study of tavaborole in subjects 12 years to less than 17 years old.
