Indications and Usage

openFDA Drug Labeling

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ARNUITY ELLIPTA is indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma in adult and pediatric patients aged 5 years and older. Limitations of Use ARNUITY ELLIPTA is NOT indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm. ARNUITY ELLIPTA is an inhaled corticosteroid indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma in adult and pediatric patients aged 5 years and older. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use: Not indicated for relief of acute bronchospasm. ( 1 , 5.2 )

Dosage and Administration

openFDA Drug Labeling

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • For oral inhalation only. ( 2.1 ) • Maintenance treatment of asthma in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older: The starting dosage, 1 actuation of ARNUITY ELLIPTA 100 mcg or ARNUITY ELLIPTA 200 mcg once daily, is based on prior asthma therapy and disease severity. ( 2.2 ) • Maintenance treatment of asthma in pediatric patients aged 5 to 11 years: 1 actuation of ARNUITY ELLIPTA 50 mcg once daily. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Administration • Administer 1 actuation of ARNUITY ELLIPTA once daily by oral inhalation. • After inhalation, the patient should rinse his/her mouth with water without swallowing to help reduce the risk of oropharyngeal candidiasis. • ARNUITY ELLIPTA should be used at the same time every day. Do not use ARNUITY ELLIPTA more than 1 time every 24 hours. • The maximum benefit may not be achieved for up to 2 weeks or longer after starting treatment. Individual patients may experience a variable time to onset and degree of symptom relief. No dosage adjustment is required for geriatric patients, patients with renal impairment, or patients with mild hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 2.2 Recommended Dosage Adult and Pediatric Patients Aged 12 Years and Older The recommended starting dosage for adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older not on an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) is fluticasone furoate 100 mcg (1 actuation of ARNUITY ELLIPTA 100 mcg) once daily by oral inhalation. • For other adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older, the recommended starting dosage should be based on previous asthma drug therapy and disease severity. • For adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older who do not respond to ARNUITY ELLIPTA 100 mcg after 2 weeks of therapy, replacement with ARNUITY ELLIPTA 200 mcg may provide additional asthma control. • The maximum recommended dosage in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older is ARNUITY ELLIPTA 200 mcg once daily. • If asthma symptoms arise in the period between doses, an inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonist (rescue medicine, e.g., albuterol) should be used for immediate relief. • If a previously effective dosage regimen of ARNUITY ELLIPTA fails to provide adequate improvement in asthma control, the therapeutic regimen should be re-evaluated and additional therapeutic options (e.g., replacing the current strength of ARNUITY ELLIPTA with a higher strength, initiating an ICS and long-acting beta 2 -agonist [LABA] combination product, initiating oral corticosteroids) should be considered. • After asthma stability has been achieved, it is desirable to titrate to the lowest effective dosage to help reduce the possibility of adverse reactions. Pediatric Patients Aged 5 to 11 Years The recommended dosage for pediatric patients aged 5 to 11 years is fluticasone furoate 50 mcg (1 actuation of ARNUITY ELLIPTA 50 mcg) once daily by oral inhalation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] .

Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Candida albicans infection of the mouth and pharynx may occur. Monitor patients periodically. Advise the patient to rinse his/her mouth with water without swallowing after inhalation to help reduce the risk. ( 5.1 ) • Do not use for relief of acute symptoms. Patients require immediate re-evaluation during rapidly deteriorating asthma. ( 5.2 ) • Potential worsening of infections (e.g., existing tuberculosis; fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections; ocular herpes simplex). Use with caution in patients with these infections. More serious or even fatal course of chickenpox or measles can occur in susceptible patients. ( 5.3 ) • Risk of impaired adrenal function when transferring from systemic corticosteroids. Wean patients slowly from systemic corticosteroids if transferring to ARNUITY ELLIPTA. ( 5.4 ) • Hypercorticism and adrenal suppression may occur with very high dosages or at the regular dosage in susceptible individuals. If such changes occur, discontinue ARNUITY ELLIPTA slowly. ( 5.5 ) • If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, discontinue ARNUITY ELLIPTA and institute alternative therapy. ( 5.7 ) • Assess for decrease in bone mineral density initially and periodically thereafter. ( 5.9 ) • Monitor growth of pediatric patients. ( 5.10 ) • Glaucoma and cataracts may occur with long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids. Consider referral to an ophthalmologist in patients who develop ocular symptoms or use ARNUITY ELLIPTA long term. ( 5.11 ) 5.1 Oropharyngeal Candidiasis ARNUITY ELLIPTA contains fluticasone furoate, an ICS. Localized infections of the mouth and pharynx with Candida albicans have occurred in subjects treated with orally inhaled drug products containing fluticasone furoate. When such an infection develops, it should be treated with appropriate local or systemic (i.e., oral) antifungal therapy while treatment with ARNUITY ELLIPTA continues. In some cases, therapy with ARNUITY ELLIPTA may need to be interrupted. Advise the patient to rinse his/her mouth with water without swallowing following administration of ARNUITY ELLIPTA to help reduce the risk of oropharyngeal candidiasis. 5.2 Acute Asthma Episodes ARNUITY ELLIPTA is not indicated for the relief of acute symptoms, i.e., as rescue therapy for treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm. ARNUITY ELLIPTA has not been studied in the relief of acute symptoms and extra doses should not be used for that purpose. Acute symptoms should be treated with an inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonist. Instruct patients to contact their healthcare providers immediately if episodes of asthma not responsive to bronchodilators occur during the course of treatment with ARNUITY ELLIPTA. During such episodes, patients may require therapy with oral corticosteroids. 5.3 Immunosuppression and Risk of Infections Persons who are using drugs that suppress the immune system, such as corticosteroids, including ARNUITY ELLIPTA, are more susceptible to infections than healthy individuals. Chickenpox and measles can have a more serious or even fatal course in susceptible children or adults using corticosteroids. In such children or adults who have not had these diseases or been properly immunized, particular care should be taken to avoid exposure. How the dose, route, and duration of corticosteroid administration affect the risk of developing a disseminated infection is not known. The safety and effectiveness of ARNUITY ELLIPTA have not been established in pediatric patients less than 5 years of age and ARNUITY ELLIPTA is not indicated for use in this population. The contribution of the underlying disease and/or prior corticosteroid treatment to the risk is also not known. If a patient is exposed to chickenpox, prophylaxis with varicella zoster immune globulin (VZIG) or pooled intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) may be indicated. If a patient is exposed to measles, prophylaxis with pooled intramuscular immunoglobulin (IG) may be indicated. (See the Prescribing In …

Adverse Reactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Systemic and local corticosteroid use may result in the following: • Oropharyngeal Candidiasis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Immunosuppression and Risk of Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] • Hypercorticism and Adrenal Suppression [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] • Reduction in BMD [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )] • Growth Effects in Pediatrics [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] • Glaucoma and Cataracts [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )] Most common adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of adult and pediatric subjects aged 12 years and older are nasopharyngitis, bronchitis, upper respiratory tract infection, and headache. ( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions reported in ≥3% of pediatric subjects aged 5 to 11 years are pharyngitis, bronchitis, and viral infection. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact GlaxoSmithKline at 1-888-825-5249 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adult and Pediatric Subjects Aged 12 Years and Older The safety of ARNUITY ELLIPTA was evaluated in 10 double-blind, parallel-group, controlled trials (7 with placebo) of 8 to 76 weeks’ duration that enrolled 6,219 subjects with asthma. Doses of fluticasone furoate studied ranged from 25 to 800 mcg. ARNUITY ELLIPTA 100 mcg was studied in 1,663 subjects, and ARNUITY ELLIPTA 200 mcg was studied in 608 subjects. Subject ages ranged from 12 to 84 years, 65% were female, and 75% were Caucasian. In these trials, the proportion of subjects who discontinued study treatment early due to adverse reactions was 2% for subjects treated with both ARNUITY ELLIPTA 100 mcg and ARNUITY ELLIPTA 200 mcg and ≤1% for placebo-treated subjects. Serious adverse events, whether considered drug-related or not by the investigators, that occurred in more than 1 subject and in a greater percentage of subjects treated with ARNUITY ELLIPTA than placebo included hypertension, abscess, breast cancer, traumatic limb amputation, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intervertebral disc protrusion; all events occurred at rates ≤1%. The incidence of adverse reactions associated with ARNUITY ELLIPTA 100 mcg is shown in Table 1 and is based on one 24-week trial (Trial 1) in adult and pediatric subjects aged 12 years and older with asthma. Table 1. Adverse Reactions with ARNUITY ELLIPTA 100 mcg with ≥3% Incidence and More Common than Placebo (Trial 1, Intent-to-Treat Population) Adverse Reaction ARNUITY ELLIPTA 100 mcg (n = 114) % Placebo (n = 115) % Nasopharyngitis 8 5 Bronchitis 7 6 Upper respiratory tract infection 6 5 Headache 6 4 Pharyngitis 4 3 Sinusitis 4 <1 Toothache 3 <1 Gastroenteritis viral 3 0 Oral candidiasis 3 0 Oropharyngeal candidiasis 3 0 Oropharyngeal pain 3 0 The incidence of adverse reactions associated with ARNUITY ELLIPTA 200 mcg is shown in Table 2 and is based on one 24-week trial (Trial 3) in adult and pediatric subjects aged 12 years and older with asthma.

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): Use with caution. May cause systemic corticosteroid effects. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Inhibitors of Cytochrome P450 3A4 Fluticasone furoate is a substrate of CYP3A4. Concomitant administration of the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole increases the systemic exposure to fluticasone furoate. Caution should be exercised when considering the coadministration of ARNUITY ELLIPTA with ketoconazole and other known strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Hepatic impairment: Fluticasone furoate systemic exposure may increase in patients with moderate or severe impairment. Monitor for systemic corticosteroid effects. ( 8.6 , 12.3 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are insufficient data on the use of ARNUITY ELLIPTA in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk (see Clinical Considerations ). In animal reproduction studies, fluticasone furoate administered by inhalation to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis produced no fetal structural abnormalities. The highest fluticasone furoate doses in the rat and rabbit studies were 4 times and 1 time, respectively, the maximum recommended human daily inhalation dose (MRHDID) (see Data .). The estimated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryofetal Risk: In women with poorly or moderately controlled asthma, there is an increased risk of several perinatal outcomes such as pre-eclampsia in the mother and prematurity, low birth weight, and small for gestational age in the neonate. Pregnant women should be closely monitored and medication adjusted as necessary to maintain optimal control of asthma. Data Animal Data: Fluticasone Furoate : In 2 separate embryofetal developmental studies, pregnant rats and rabbits received fluticasone furoate during the period of organogenesis at doses up to approximately 4 and 1 times, respectively, the MRHDID (on a mcg/m 2 basis at maternal inhalation doses up to 91 and 8 mcg/kg/day, respectively). No evidence of structural abnormalities in fetuses was observed in either species. In a perinatal and postnatal developmental study in rats, dams received fluticasone furoate during late gestation and lactation periods at doses up to approximately 1 time the MRHDID (on a mcg/m 2 basis at maternal inhalation doses up to 27 mcg/kg/day). No evidence of effects on offspring development was observed. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There is no information available on the presence of fluticasone furoate in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Low concentrations of other ICS have been detected in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for ARNUITY ELLIPTA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from fluticasone furoate or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ARNUITY ELLIPTA for maintenance treatment of asthma have been established in pediatric patients aged 5 years and older. Use of ARNUITY ELLIPTA for this indication in patients 12 years of age and older is supported by evidence from 4 adequate and well-controlled trials in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. Use of ARNUITY ELLIPTA for this indication in patients 5 to 11 years of age is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled trial in patients 5 to 11 years of age [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ), Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), and Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . The safety and effectiveness of ARNUITY ELLIPTA have not been established in pediatric patients less than 5 years of age. Effects on Growth Orally inhaled corticosteroids may cause a reduction in growth velocity when administered to pediatric patients. A reduction of growth velocity in these patients may occur as a result of poorly controlled asthma or from use of corticosteroids, including ICS. The effects of long-term treatment of pediatric patients with ICS, including fluticasone furoate, on final adult height are not known. Controlled clinical trials have shown that ICS may cause a reduction in growth in children. In these trials, the mean reduction in g …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action Fluticasone furoate is a synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid with anti‐inflammatory activity. Fluticasone furoate has been shown in vitro to exhibit a binding affinity for the human glucocorticoid receptor that is approximately 29.9 times that of dexamethasone and 1.7 times that of fluticasone propionate. The clinical relevance of these findings is unknown. The precise mechanism through which fluticasone furoate affects asthma symptoms is not known. Inflammation is an important component in the pathogenesis of asthma. Corticosteroids have been shown to have a wide range of actions on multiple cell types (e.g., mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes) and mediators (e.g., histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, cytokines) involved in inflammation. Specific effects of fluticasone furoate demonstrated in in vitro and in vivo models included activation of the glucocorticoid response element, inhibition of pro-inflammatory transcription factors such as NFkB, and inhibition of antigen-induced lung eosinophilia in sensitized rats. These anti-inflammatory actions of corticosteroids may contribute to their efficacy. Though effective for the treatment of asthma, corticosteroids may not affect symptoms immediately. Individual patients will experience a variable time to onset and degree of symptom relief. Maximum benefit may not be achieved for 1 to 2 weeks or longer after starting treatment. When corticosteroids are discontinued, asthma stability may persist for several days or longer. Trials in subjects with asthma have shown a favorable ratio between topical anti-inflammatory activity and systemic corticosteroid effects with recommended doses of orally inhaled fluticasone furoate. This is explained by a combination of a relatively high local anti-inflammatory effect, negligible oral systemic bioavailability (approximately 1.3%), and the minimal pharmacological activity of the metabolites detected in man.

Description

openFDA Drug Labeling

11 DESCRIPTION ARNUITY ELLIPTA is an inhalation powder drug product for delivery of fluticasone furoate (an ICS) to patients by oral inhalation. Fluticasone furoate, a synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid, has the chemical name (6α,11β,16α,17α)-6,9-difluoro-17-{[(fluoro-methyl)thio]carbonyl}-11-hydroxy-16-methyl-3-oxoandrosta-1,4-dien-17-yl 2-furancarboxylate and the following chemical structure: Fluticasone furoate is a white powder with a molecular weight of 538.6, and the empirical formula is C 27 H 29 F 3 O 6 S. It is practically insoluble in water. ARNUITY ELLIPTA is a light grey and orange plastic inhaler containing a foil blister strip. Each blister on the strip contains a white powder blend of micronized fluticasone furoate (50, 100, or 200 mcg) and lactose monohydrate (12.45, 12.40, or 12.30 mg, respectively) for a total powder blend of 12.5 mg per blister. The lactose monohydrate contains milk proteins. After the inhaler is activated, the powder within the blister is exposed and ready for dispersion into the airstream created by the patient inhaling through the mouthpiece. Under standardized in vitro test conditions, ARNUITY ELLIPTA 50 mcg, ARNUITY ELLIPTA 100 mcg, and ARNUITY ELLIPTA 200 mcg delivers 46, 90, and 182 mcg, respectively, of fluticasone furoate per dose when tested at a flow rate of 60 L/min for 4 seconds. In adult subjects with asthma and a mean FEV 1 of 2.55 L/sec (range: 1.63 to 3.97 L/sec), mean peak inspiratory flow through the ELLIPTA inhaler was 103.2 L/min (range: 71.2 to 133.1 L/min). In pediatric subjects with asthma aged 5 to 11 years and a mean peak expiratory flow rate of 242 L/min (range: 130 to 420 L/min), mean peak inspiratory flow through the ELLIPTA inhaler was 51.8 L/min (range: 26.8 to 89.9 L/min). Therefore, the ELLIPTA inhaler is able to deliver the dose of fluticasone furoate in patients with asthma. The actual amount of drug delivered to the lung will depend on patient factors, such as inspiratory flow profile. fluticasone furoate chemical structure

10 OVERDOSAGE No human overdosage data have been reported for ARNUITY ELLIPTA. The potential for acute toxic corticosteroid effects following overdosage with ARNUITY ELLIPTA is low. Because of low systemic bioavailability (13.9%) and an absence of acute drug-related systemic findings in clinical trials, overdosage of fluticasone furoate is unlikely to require any treatment other than observation. If used at excessive doses for prolonged periods, systemic effects such as hypercorticism may occur [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . Single- and repeat-dose trials of fluticasone furoate at doses of 50 to 4,000 mcg have been studied in human subjects. Decreases in mean serum cortisol were observed at dosages of 500 mcg or higher given once daily for 14 days.
