6 Adverse Reactions

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

(Subsection title revised; Additions and/or revisions underlined)

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

(PLLR conversion)

Risk Summary

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of IZBA administration in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk.

In animal reproduction studies, subcutaneous (SC) administration of travoprost to pregnant mice and rats throughout the period of organogenesis produced embryo-fetal lethality, spontaneous abortion, and premature delivery at potentially clinically relevant doses.

Advise pregnant women of a potential risk to a fetus. Because animal reproductive studies are not always predictive of human response, IZBA® should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown; however, in the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects is 2%-4% and of miscarriage is 15%-20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.

Data

Animal Data

An embryo-fetal study was conducted in pregnant rats administered travoprost once daily by SC injection from gestation Day 6 to 17 to target the period of organogenesis. At 10 mcg/kg [81 times the maximum recommended human ocular dose (MRHOD), based on plasma Cmax)], travoprost was teratogenic in rats, evidenced by an increase in the incidence of skeletal malformations as well as external and visceral malformations, including fused sternebrae, domed head, and hydrocephaly. Travoprost caused post- implantation loss at 10 mcg/kg. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for post-implantation loss was 3 mcg/kg (24 times the MRHOD, based on estimated plasma Cmax). The maternal NOAEL was 10 mcg/kg.

An embryo-fetal study was conducted in pregnant mice administered travoprost once daily by SC injection from gestation Day 6 to 11, to target the period of organogenesis. At 1 mcg/kg (8.1 times the MRHOD, based on plasma Cmax), travoprost caused post-implantation loss and decreased fetal weight. The NOAEL for embryo- fetal toxicity was 0.3 mcg/kg (2.4 times the MRHOD, based on estimated plasma Cmax). The maternal NOAEL was 1 mcg/kg.

Pre/postnatal studies were conducted in rats administered travoprost once daily by SC injection from gestation Day 7 (early embryonic period) to postnatal Day 21 (end of lactation period). At doses of greater than or equal to 0.12 mcg/kg/day (0.97 times the MRHOD, based on estimated plasma Cmax), adverse pregnancy outcomes (embryo-fetal lethality, abortion, early delivery), low birth weight, and developmental delays were observed. The NOAEL for adverse pregnancy outcomes, low birth weight, and developmental delay was 0.1 mcg/kg (0.81 times the MRHOD, based on estimated plasma Cmax). The NOAEL for maternal toxicity was 0.72 mcg/kg (5.8 times the MRHOD, based on estimated plasma Cmax).

8.2 Lactation

(PLLR conversion)

Risk Summary

There are no data on the effects of travoprost on the breastfed child or milk production. It is not known if travoprost is present in human milk following ophthalmic administration. A study in lactating rats demonstrated that radiolabeled travoprost and/or its metabolites were transferred into milk following SC administration.

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for use IZBA and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed child from use of IZBA.
