6 Adverse Reactions

Newly added subsection:

6.3 Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse events have been identified during postmarketing use of EXTINA Foam:

Gastrointestinal disorders: Cheilitis

General disorders and administration site conditions: Application site pain and application site burn Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Skin burning sensation and erythema

Because these events 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 exposure.

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

PLLR conversion; as below:

Risk Summary

There are no available data on EXTINA Foam use in pregnant women to identify a drug-associated risk of birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. No reproductive studies in animals have been performed with EXTINA Foam. In animal reproduction studies with pregnant mice, rats and rabbits both embryotoxic and developmental effects (structural abnormalities) were observed following oral dosing of ketoconazole during organogenesis. Assuming equivalent systemic absorption of topical and oral ketoconazole doses and an EXTINA Foam maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 grams (equivalent to 160 mg ketoconazole), embryotoxic effects were observed at 0.8 to 2.4 times the MRHD and developmental effects were observed at 4.8 times the MRHD.

The 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 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

Data

Animal Data

The animal multiples of human exposure calculations are based on body surface area (BSA) comparisons of oral doses administered to animals and an EXTINA Foam maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 grams (equivalent to 2.67 mg ketoconazole/kg/day for a 60 kg individual or 98.8 mg ketoconazole/m2/day).

Embryofetal development studies have been conducted in mice, rats and rabbits with orally administered ketoconazole. When orally administered to mice on gestational days 6 through 18 (covering the period of organogenesis), ketoconazole was embryotoxic (25 mg/kg and higher; 0.8 times the MRHD based on BSA comparisons) with a high incidence of resorptions, increased number of stillbirths and delayed parturition. Delays in maturation were also observed. There was no evidence of maternal toxicity or malformations at up to 50 mg/kg (1.5 times the MRHD based on BSA comparisons). No treatment related developmental effects were observed at 10 mg/kg (0.3 times the MRHD based on BSA comparisons).

In the presence of maternal toxicity in rats, orally administered ketoconazole was both embryotoxic (40 mg/kg and higher; 2.4 times the MRHD based on BSA comparisons), including increased resorbed fetuses and stillbirths, and teratogenic (80 mg/kg and higher; 4.8 times the MRHD based on BSA comparisons), including syndactylia, oligodactylia, waved ribs and cleft palate. Additionally, 100 mg/kg (6 times the MRHD based on BSA comparisons) ketoconazole orally administered on a single day during gestation (gestational days 9 through 12) was embryotoxic (increased resorptions). This same oral dose given on gestation day 12, 13, 14 or 15 induced external malformations including cleft palate, micromelia and digital anomalies (brachydactyly, ectrodactyly, syndactyly).

In pregnant rabbits orally administered ketoconazole, evidence of embryotoxicity (increased resorptions) was observed at 10 mg/kg (1.2 times the MRHD based on BSA comparisons) and higher and an increased incidence of skeletal abnormalities was observed at 40 mg/kg (4.8 times the MRHD based on BSA comparisons).

8.2 Lactation

PLLR conversion; as below:

Risk Summary

There is no information available on the presence of ketoconazole in human milk, or the effects on the

breastfed child, or the effects on milk production after topical application of EXTINA Foam to women who are breastfeeding. In animal studies ketoconazole was found in milk following oral administration. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for EXTINA Foam and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from EXTINA Foam or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

PLLR conversion; as below:

Infertility

In animal fertility studies in rats and dogs, administration of oral doses of ketoconazole between 3-day and 3-month periods resulted in infertility that was reversible.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Addition of the following sentence:

Clinical trials of EXTINA Foam did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently than younger subjects.

17 PCI/PI/MG (Patient Counseling Information/Patient Information/Medication Guide)

PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Instruct patients on a proper use of EXTINA Foam

    •  Instruct a patient to contact a health care provider if the area of application shows signs of increased irritation and report any signs of adverse reactions.
