Indications and Usage

openFDA Drug Labeling

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Lanreotide Injection is a somatostatin analog indicated for: the long-term treatment of acromegalic patients who have had an inadequate response to or cannot be treated with surgery and/or radiotherapy. ( 1.1 ) the treatment of adult patients with unresectable, well- or moderately- differentiated, locally advanced or metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) to improve progression-free survival. ( 1.2 ) the treatment of adults with carcinoid syndrome; when used, it reduces the frequency of short-acting somatostatin analog rescue therapy. ( 1.3 ) 1.1 Acromegaly Lanreotide Injection is indicated for the long-term treatment of acromegalic patients who have had an inadequate response to surgery and/or radiotherapy, or for whom surgery and/or radiotherapy is not an option. The goal of treatment in acromegaly is to reduce growth hormone (GH) and insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels to normal. 1.2 Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Lanreotide Injection is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable, well or moderately differentiated, locally advanced or metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) to improve progression-free survival. 1.3 Carcinoid Syndrome Lanreotide Injection is indicated for the treatment of adults with carcinoid syndrome; when used, it reduces the frequency of short-acting somatostatin analog rescue therapy.

Dosage and Administration

openFDA Drug Labeling

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Administration ( 2.1 ): For deep subcutaneous injection only. Intended for administration by a healthcare provider. Administer in the superior external quadrant of the buttock. Alternate injection sites. Recommended Dosage ( 2.1 ) Acromegaly : 90 mg every 4 weeks for 3 months. Adjust thereafter based on GH and/or IGF-1 levels. See full prescribing information for titration regimen. GEP-NETs : 120 mg every 4 weeks. Carcinoid Syndrome : 120 mg every 4 weeks. If patients are already being treated with Lanreotide Injection for GEP-NET, do not administer an additional dose for carcinoid syndrome. Dosage Adjustment : See full prescribing information for dosage adjustment in patients with acromegaly and renal or hepatic impairment. ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage Acromegaly The recommended starting dosage of Lanreotide Injection is 90 mg given via the deep subcutaneous route, at 4-week intervals for 3 months. After 3 months, the Lanreotide injection dosage may be adjusted as follows: GH greater than 1 ng/mL to less than or equal to 2.5 ng/mL, IGF-1 normal, and clinical symptoms controlled: maintain dosage at 90 mg every 4 weeks. GH greater than 2.5 ng/mL, IGF-1 elevated, and/or clinical symptoms uncontrolled: increase dosage to 120 mg every 4 weeks. GH less than or equal to 1 ng/mL, IGF-1 normal, and clinical symptoms controlled: reduce dosage to 60 mg every 4 weeks. Thereafter, the dosage should be adjusted according to the response of the patient as judged by a reduction in serum GH and/or IGF-1 levels; and/or changes in symptoms of acromegaly. Patients who are controlled on Lanreotide Injection 60 or 90 mg may be considered for an extended dosing interval of Lanreotide Injection 120 mg every 6 or 8 weeks. GH and IGF-1 levels should be obtained 6 weeks after this change in dosing regimen to evaluate persistence of patient response. Continued monitoring of patient response with dosage adjustments for biochemical and clinical symptom control, as necessary, is recommended. Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (GEP-NETs) The recommended dosage of Lanreotide Injection is 120 mg administered every 4 weeks by deep subcutaneous injection. Carcinoid Syndrome The recommended dosage of Lanreotide Injection is 120 mg administered every 4 weeks by deep subcutaneous injection. If patients are already being treated with Lanreotide Injection for GEP-NETs, do not administer an additional dose for the treatment of carcinoid syndrome. 2.2 Dosage Adjustment in Renal Impairment Acromegaly The recommended starting dosage of Lanreotide Injection in acromegalic patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance (CLcr) less than 60 mL/min) is 60 mg via the deep subcutaneous route at 4-week intervals for 3 months followed by dosage adjustment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )]. 2.3 Dosage Adjustment in Hepatic Impairment Acromegaly The recommended starting dosage of Lanreotide Injection in acromegalic patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C) is 60 mg via the deep subcutaneous route at 4-week intervals for 3 months followed by dosage adjustment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 )] . 2.4 Important Preparation and Administration Instructions The following instructions explain how to inject Lanreotide Injection: Read all instructions carefully before starting the injection. Follow this procedure exactly, as it may differ from your past experience.

Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Cholelithiasis and Complications of Cholelithiasis: Monitor periodically. Discontinue if complications of cholelithiasis are suspected. Gallstones may occur; consider periodic monitoring. ( 5.1 ) Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia: Glucose monitoring is recommended and antidiabetic treatment adjusted accordingly. ( 5.2 , 7.1 ) Cardiovascular Abnormalities: Decrease in heart rate may occur. Use with caution in at-risk patients. ( 5.3 ) Thyroid Function Abnormalities: Decreases in thyroid function may occur; perform tests where clinically indicated. ( 5.4 ) Steatorrhea and Malabsorption of Dietary Fats: New onset steatorrhea, stool discoloration, loose stools, abdominal bloating, and weight loss may occur. If new occurrence or worsening of these symptoms are reported, evaluate for potential pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. ( 5.6 ) 5.1 Cholelithiasis and Complications of Cholelithiasis Lanreotide Injection may reduce gallbladder motility and lead to gallstone formation; therefore, patients may need to be monitored periodically [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . There have been postmarketing reports of cholelithiasis (gallstones) resulting in complications, including cholecystitis, cholangitis, and pancreatitis, and requiring cholecystectomy in patients taking Lanreotide Injection. If complications of cholelithiasis are suspected, discontinue Lanreotide Injection and treat appropriately. 5.2 Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia Pharmacological studies in animals and humans show that lanreotide, like somatostatin and other somatostatin analogs, inhibits the secretion of insulin and glucagon. Hence, patients treated with Lanreotide Injection may experience hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Blood glucose levels should be monitored when lanreotide treatment is initiated, or when the dose is altered, and antidiabetic treatment should be adjusted accordingly [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. 5.3 Cardiovascular Abnormalities The most common overall cardiac adverse reactions observed in three pooled Lanreotide Injection cardiac studies in patients with acromegaly were sinus bradycardia (12/217, 5.5%), bradycardia (6/217, 2.8%), and hypertension (12/217, 5.5%) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. In 81 patients with baseline heart rates of 60 beats per minute (bpm) or greater treated with Lanreotide Injection in Study 3, the incidence of heart rate less than 60 bpm was 23% (19/81) as compared to 16% (15/94) of placebo treated patients; 10 patients (12%) had documented heart rates less than 60 bpm on more than one visit. The incidence of documented episodes of heart rate less than 50 bpm as well as the incidence of bradycardia reported as an adverse event was 1% in each treatment group. Initiate appropriate medical management in patients who develop symptomatic bradycardia. In patients without underlying cardiac disease, Lanreotide Injection may lead to a decrease in heart rate without necessarily reaching the threshold of bradycardia. In patients suffering from cardiac disorders prior to Lanreotide Injection treatment, sinus bradycardia may occur. Care should be taken when initiating treatment with Lanreotide Injection in patients with bradycardia. 5.4 Thyroid Function Abnormalities Slight decreases in thyroid function have been seen during treatment with lanreotide in acromegalic patients, though clinical hypothyroidism is rare (less than 1%). Thyroid function tests are recommended where clinically indicated. 5.5 Monitoring: Laboratory Tests Acromegaly: Serum GH and IGF-1 levels are useful markers of the disease and the effectiveness of treatment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )]. 5.6 Steatorrhea and Malabsorption of Dietary Fats New onset steatorrhea, stool discoloration and loose stools have been reported in patients receiving somatostatin analogs, including lanreotide injection. Somatostatin analogs reversibly inhibit secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile acids, which may result in mal …

Adverse Reactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Cholelithiasis and Complications of Cholelithiasis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Cardiovascular Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Thyroid Function Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Steatorrhea and Malabsorption of Dietary Fats [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Most common adverse reactions are: Acromegaly : (>5%): diarrhea, cholelithiasis, abdominal pain, nausea and injection site reactions. ( 6.1 ) GEP-NET : (>10%): abdominal pain, musculoskeletal pain, vomiting, headache, injection site reaction, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and cholelithiasis. ( 6.1 ) Carcinoid Syndrome : (≥5% and at least 5% greater than placebo): headache, dizziness and muscle spasm. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Cipla Ltd. Inc. at 1-866-604-3268 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 to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of Lanreotide Injection was established from adequate and well-controlled studies of another lanreotide injection product [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Adverse reactions observed in these adequate and well-controlled studies are described below. Acromegaly The data described below reflect exposure to lanreotide injection in 416 acromegalic patients in seven studies. One study was a fixed-dose pharmacokinetic study. The other six studies were open-label or extension studies, one had a placebo-controlled, run-in period, and another had an active control. The population was mainly White (329/353, 93%) with a median age of 53 years of age (range 19 to 84 years). Fifty-four subjects (13%) were age 66 to 74 and 18 subjects (4.3%) were 75 years of age and older. Patients were evenly matched for sex (205 males and 211 females). The median average monthly dose was 91.2 mg (e.g., 90 mg injected via the deep subcutaneous route every 4 weeks) over 385 days with a median cumulative dose of 1290 mg. Of the patients reporting acromegaly, severity at baseline (N=265), serum GH levels were less than 10 ng/mL for 69% (183/265) of the patients and 10 ng/mL or greater for 31% (82/265) of the patients. The most commonly reported adverse reactions reported by greater than 5% of patients who received lanreotide (N=416) in the overall pooled safety studies in acromegaly patients were gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, flatulence, vomiting, loose stools), cholelithiasis, and injection site reactions. Tables 1 and 2 present adverse reaction data from clinical studies with lanreotide in acromegalic patients. The tables include data from a single clinical study and pooled data from seven clinical studies. Adverse Reactions in Parallel Fixed-Dose Phase of Study 1 The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse reactions for lanreotide injection 60, 90, and 120 mg by dose as reported during the first 4 months (fixed-dose phase) of Study 1 [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] are provided in Table 1.

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Cyclosporine : Lanreotide Injection may decrease the absorption of cyclosporine. Dosage adjustment of cyclosporine may be needed. ( 7.2 ) Bromocriptine : Lanreotide Injection may increase the absorption of bromocriptine. ( 7.3 ) Bradycardia-Inducing Drugs (e.g., beta-blockers) : Lanreotide Injection may decrease heart rate. Dosage adjustment of the coadministered drug may be necessary. ( 7.3 ) 7.1 Insulin and Oral Hypoglycemic Drugs Lanreotide, like somatostatin and other somatostatin analogs, inhibits the secretion of insulin and glucagon. Therefore, blood glucose levels should be monitored when Lanreotide Injection treatment is initiated or when the dose is altered, and antidiabetic treatment should be adjusted accordingly [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . 7.2 Cyclosporine Concomitant administration of cyclosporine with Lanreotide Injection may decrease the absorption of cyclosporine, and therefore, may necessitate adjustment of cyclosporine dose to maintain therapeutic drug concentrations. [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] 7.3 Bromocriptine Limited published data indicate that concomitant administration of a somatostatin analog and bromocriptine may increase the absorption of bromocriptine [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.4 Bradycardia-Inducing Drugs Concomitant administration of bradycardia-inducing drugs (e.g., beta-blockers) may have an additive effect on the reduction of heart rate associated with lanreotide. Dosage adjustments of concomitant drugs may be necessary. 7.5 Drug Metabolism Interactions The limited published data available indicate that somatostatin analogs may decrease the metabolic clearance of compounds known to be metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, which may be due to the suppression of growth hormone. Since it cannot be excluded that Lanreotide Injection may have this effect, avoid other drugs mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 and which have a low therapeutic index (e.g., quinidine, terfenadine). Drugs metabolized by the liver may be metabolized more slowly during Lanreotide Injection treatment and dose reductions of the concomitantly administered medications should be considered [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 6 months after the last dose. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Limited available data based on postmarketing case reports with Lanreotide Injection use in pregnant women are not sufficient to determine a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, decreased embryo/fetal survival was observed in pregnant rats and rabbits at subcutaneous doses 5- and 2-times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 120 mg, respectively (see Data) . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations 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 A reproductive study in pregnant rats given 30 mg/kg of lanreotide by subcutaneous injection every 2 weeks (5 times the human dose, based on body surface area comparisons) resulted in decreased embryo/fetal survival. A study in pregnant rabbits given subcutaneous injections of 0.45 mg/kg/day (2 times the human therapeutic exposures at the maximum recommended dose of 120 mg, based on comparisons of relative body surface area) shows decreased fetal survival and increased fetal skeletal/ soft tissue abnormalities. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There is no information available on the presence of lanreotide in human milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. Studies show that lanreotide acetate administered subcutaneously passes into the milk of lactating rats; however, due to specifies- specific differences in lactation physiology, animal data may not reliably predict drug levels in human milk . Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from Lanreotide Injection, including effects on glucose metabolism and bradycardia, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with Lanreotide Injection and for 6 months (6 half-lives) following the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Infertility Females Based on results from animal studies conducted in female rats, Lanreotide Injection may reduce fertility in females of reproductive potential [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )]. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Lanreotide Injection in pediatric patients have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between elderly patients with acromegaly compared with younger patients and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. Studies 3 and 4, conducted in patients with neuroendocrine tumors, did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. 8.6 Renal Impairment Acromegaly Lanreotide has been studied in patients with end-stage renal function on dialysis, but has not been studied in patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. It is recommended that patients with moderate or severe renal impairment receive a starting dose of lanreotide of 60 mg. Caution should be exercised when considering patients with moderate or severe renal impairment for an extended dosing interval of Lanreotide Injection …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action Lanreotide, the active component of Lanreotide Injection, is an octapeptide analog of natural somatostatin. The mechanism of action of lanreotide is believed to be similar to that of natural somatostatin.
