8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Pregnancy Exposure Registry

There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK or VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling 1-866-609-1612 or visiting https://voqueznapregnancyregistry.com/.

8.2 Lactation

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Risk Summary Vonoprazan:

Data from a clinical lactation study indicate that vonoprazan is present in human breast milk in amounts less than 0.03% of the administered maternal dose. Assuming an infant body weight of 6 kg and an exclusively breastfed infant, the estimated mean daily infant dose was less than 0.3% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose (see Data). There are no data on the effects of vonoprazan on the breastfed child or the effects on milk production. In animal studies, liver injury occurred in offspring from pregnant and lactating rats administered oral vonoprazan at AUC exposures approximately equal to and greater than the MRHD (see Data).

Risk and Benefit Statement for VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK or VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK:

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK or VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK or VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK or from the underlying maternal condition.

Clinical Considerations

Monitor infants exposed to clarithromycin or amoxicillin through breast milk for diarrhea, vomiting or rash.

Data

Human Data Vonoprazan

Concentrations of vonoprazan were measured in breast milk from 15 healthy lactating women following administration of vonoprazan 20 mg once daily (not an approved dosage for VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK) (N=5) or twice daily (N=10) for 4 days (not an approved duration for VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK).

Following administration of a 20 mg vonoprazan twice daily dosage regimen, the mean average concentration (Cavg) of vonoprazan in breast milk at steady state was 13.3 ng/mL. The estimated mean total amount of vonoprazan present in breast milk over 24 hours was 0.009 mg. Assuming an infant body weight of 6 kg and an exclusively breastfed infant, the estimated mean daily infant dose was 0.0015 mg/kg/day, representing 0.27% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose.

Following administration of a 20 mg vonoprazan once daily regimen (not an approved dosage for VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK), the mean average concentration (Cavg) of vonoprazan in breast milk at steady state was 7.55 ng/mL. The estimated mean total amount of vonoprazan present in breast milk over 24 hours was 0.0024 mg. Assuming an infant body weight of 6 kg and an exclusively breastfed infant, the estimated mean daily infant dose was 0.0004 mg/kg/day, representing 0.13% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose.
