8 Use in Specific Populations

8.4 Pediatric Use

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

The safety and effectiveness of AQNEURSA for the treatment of NPC have been established in 23 pediatric patients weighing greater than or equal to 15 kg in Trial 1. Use of AQNEURSA for this indication is supported by evidence from one adequate and well-controlled study in adults and pediatric patients weighing greater than or equal to 15 kg with additional pharmacokinetic data from 40 adults and 17 pediatric patients who participated in two open-label studies [see Clinical Studies (14.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

The safety and effectiveness of AQNEURSA for the treatment of ataxia in patients with A-T have been established in 47 pediatric patients weighing greater than or equal to 15 kg in Trial 2 [see Clinical Studies (14.2)].

The safety and effectiveness of AQNEURSA have not been established in pediatric patients weighing < 15 kg.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

NPC and A-T are largely diseases of pediatric and young adult patients. Clinical studies of AQNEURSA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.
