5 Warnings and Precautions

5.1 Local Adverse Reactions

Discontinue treatment if irritation or sensitivity develops with the use of NAFTIN Cream. Direct patients to contact their physician if these conditions develop following use of NAFTIN Cream. (Additions and/or revisions underlined)

6 Adverse Reactions

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

  During clinical trials, 903 subjects were exposed to naftifine 1% and 2% cream formulations. A total of 564 subjects with interdigital tinea pedis, tinea cruris, or tinea corporis were treated with NAFTIN Cream.

  … In a third randomized, vehicle-controlled trial, 116 pediatric subjects with tinea corporis were treated with NAFTIN Cream. The population was aged ?2 to <18 years (mean age of 9 years), predominantly male (61%), 47% White, 51% Black or African American, 92% Hispanic or Latino, and infected with tinea corporis. NAFTIN Cream was topically applied once daily for 2 weeks to all affected body surface areas with tinea corporis plus a ½ inch margin of healthy skin surrounding the affected lesions. The incidence of adverse reactions in the NAFTIN Cream treated population was not significantly different than in the vehicle treated population.

.  In two  open-label pediatric pharmacokinetics and safety trials, 49 pediatric subjects 2 to less than 18 years of age with interdigital tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis received NAFTIN Cream…

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

PLLR Conversion:

Risk Summary

  There are no available data with NAFTIN Cream in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage.  In animal reproduction studiesa, no adverse effects on embryofetal development were seen at oral doses administered during the period of organogenesis up to 18 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) in pregnant rats or subcutaneous doses administered during the period of organogenesis up to 2 times the MRHD in pregnant rats or 4 times the MRHD in pregnant rabbits.

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

 Data

Animal Data

Systemic embryofetal development studies were conducted in rats and rabbits. For the comparison of animal to human doses based on body surface area comparison (mg/m2), the MRHD is set at 8 g 2% cream per day (2.67 mg/kg/day for a 60 kg individual).

Oral doses of 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day naftifine hydrochloride were administered during the period of organogenesis to pregnant female rats. No treatment- related effects on embryofetal development were noted at doses up to 300 mg/kg/day ( 18 times MRHD). Subcutaneous doses of 10 and 30 mg/kg/day naftifine hydrochloride were administered during the period of organogenesis to pregnant female rats. No treatment-related effects on embryofetal development were noted at 30 mg/kg/day (2 times MRHD). Subcutaneous doses of 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg/day naftifine hydrochloride were administered during the period of organogenesis to 18 pregnant female rabbits. No treatment related effects on embryofetal development were noted at 30 mg/kg/day ( 4 times MRHD).

A peri- and post-natal development study was conducted in rats. Oral doses of 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day naftifine hydrochloride were administered to female rats from gestational day 14 to lactation day 21. Reduced body weight gain of females during gestation and of the offspring during lactation was noted at 300 mg/kg/day (18 times MRHD). No developmental toxicity was noted at 100 mg/kg/day ( 6  times MRHD).

8.2 Lactation

PLLR Conversion:

Risk Summary

There is no information available on the presence of NAFTIN Cream in human milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of NAFTIN Cream to an infant during lactation; therefore, the development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for NAFTIN cream and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from NAFTIN cream or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4 Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of NAFTIN Cream have been established in pediatric patients age 12 and above with interdigital tinea pedis and tinea cruris and age 2 and above with tinea corporis.

Use of NAFTIN Cream in these age groups is supported by evidence from adequate and well controlled studies in adults and children, with additional safety and PK data from two open label trials conducted in  49 pediatric subjects exposed to NAFTIN Cream.

Safety and effectiveness of Naftin Cream in the treatment of tinea cruris and interdigital tinea pedis in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age have not been established. Safety and effectiveness of Naftin Cream in the treatment of tinea corporis in pediatric patients less than 2 years of age have not been established.
