Adverse Reactions with Neffy in Pediatric Subjects 4 Years of Age and Older Weighing 15 kg or Greater

A single-arm clinical pharmacology study (Study 5) in pediatric subjects 4 to 17 years of age who weigh 15 kg or greater with type I allergy without anaphylaxis was conducted to assess the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) of neffy 1 mg and 2 mg [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2, 12.3)]. Pediatric subjects (n=21) who weigh 30 kg or greater received one nasal dose of neffy 2 mg and common adverse reactions reported in these subjects include nasal discomfort (19%), intranasal paresthesia (19%), rhinorrhea (19%), sneezing (14%), epistaxis (10%), rhinalgia (10%), paresthesia (10%), fatigue (10%), and feeling jittery (10%). Pediatric subjects (n=21) who weigh 15 to less than 30 kg received one nasal dose of neffy 1 mg and common adverse reactions reported in these subjects include nasal congestion (19%), upper respiratory tract congestion (14%), dry throat (10%), nasal dryness (10%), and paresthesia (10%).

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.4 Pediatric Use

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

The safety and effectiveness of neffy for emergency treatment of type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been established in pediatric patients aged 4 years and older who weigh 15 kg or greater. Use of neffy for this indication is supported by extrapolation from the clinical pharmacology studies in adults that compared the PK/PD profile of neffy to epinephrine injection products with established safety and effectiveness for this indication and clinical pharmacology data (Study 5) in pediatric patients aged 4 years and older who weigh 15 kg or greater [see Adverse Reactions (6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2, 12.3)].

The safety and effectiveness of neffy have not been established in pediatric patients less than 4 years of age and who weigh less than 15 kg.
