The overall safety of micafungin for injection was assessed in 520 healthy volunteers and 3417 adult and pediatric patients who received single or multiple doses of micafungin for injection across 50 clinical trials, including the invasive candidiasis, esophageal candidiasis and prophylaxis trials. The doses of micafungin for injection administered included doses above and below the recommended doses [ see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 )] and ranged from 0.75 mg/kg to 15 mg/kg in pediatric patients and 12.5 mg to 150 mg/day or greater in adults. Clinical Trials Experience in Adults In clinical trials with micafungin for injection, 2497/2748 (91%) adult patients experienced at least one adverse reaction. Candidemia and Other Candida Infections In a randomized, double-blind trial for the treatment of candidemia and other Candida infections, adverse reactions occurred in 183/200 (92%) and 171/193 (89%) patients in the micafungin for injection 100 mg/day, and caspofungin (70 mg loading dose followed by 50 mg/day dose) treatment groups, respectively. Selected adverse reactions occurring in 5% or more of the patients and more frequently in the micafungin for injection treatment group, are shown in Table 3 . Table 3. Selected During IV Treatment + 3 days. Adverse Reactions in Adult Patients with Candidemia and Other Candida Infections Adverse Reactions by System Organ Class Within a system organ class, patients may experience more than 1 adverse reactions Micafungin for Injection 100 mg n (%) Caspofungin 70 mg loading dose on day 1 followed by 50 mg/day thereafter (caspofungin). n (%) Number of Patients 200 193 Gastrointestinal Disorders 81 (41) 76 (39) Diarrhea 15 (8) 14 (7) Vomiting 18 (9) 16 (8) Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders 77 (39) 73 (38) Hypoglycemia 12 (6) 9 (5) Hyperkalemia 10 (5) 5 (3) General Disorders/Administration Site Conditions 59 (30) 51 (26) Investigations 36 (18) 37 (19) Blood Alkaline Phosphatase Increased 11 (6) 8 (4) Cardiac Disorders 35 (18) 36 (19) Atrial Fibrillation 5 (3) 0 Patient base: all randomized patients who received at least 1 dose of trial drug.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Monitor for sirolimus, itraconazole or nifedipine toxicity, and dosage of sirolimus, itraconazole or nifedipine should be reduced, if necessary. ( 7 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 Inhibitors Co-administration of Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection with cyclosporine, itraconazole, voriconazole and fluconazole did not alter the pharmacokinetics of micafungin. CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 Inducer Co-administration of Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection with rifampin and ritonavir did not alter the pharmacokinetics of micafungin. Co-administration of Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection with Other Drugs Co-administration of Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), amphotericin B, tacrolimus, prednisolone, sirolimus and nifedipine did not alter the pharmacokinetics of micafungin. 7.2 Effect of Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection on Other Drugs CYP3A4 Substrates There was no effect of single or multiple doses of micafungin for injection on cyclosporine, tacrolimus, prednisolone, voriconazole and fluconazole pharmacokinetics. Sirolimus AUC was increased by 21% with no effect on C max in the presence of steady-state micafungin for injection compared with sirolimus alone. Nifedipine AUC and C max were increased by 18% and 42%, respectively, in the presence of steady-state micafungin for injection compared with nifedipine alone. Itraconazole AUC and C max were increased by 22% and 11%, respectively. Patients receiving sirolimus, nifedipine, and itraconazole in combination with micafungin for injection should be monitored for sirolimus, nifedipine, and itraconazole toxicity and the sirolimus, nifedipine, and itraconazole dosage should be reduced if necessary. UDP-Glycosyltransferase Substrate Co-administration of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) with micafungin for injection did not alter the pharmacokinetics of MMF.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Based on animal data, Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection may cause fetal harm. Advise pregnant women of the risk to the fetus. ( 8.1 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies, Micafungin for Injection may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman (see Data) . There is insufficient human data on the use of micafungin for injection in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, intravenous administration of micafungin sodium to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis at doses four times the maximum recommended human dose resulted in visceral abnormalities and increased abortion (see Data) . Advise pregnant women of the risk to the fetus. 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 In an embryo-fetal toxicity study in pregnant rabbits, intravenous administration of micafungin sodium during organogenesis (days 6 to 18 of gestation) resulted in fetal visceral abnormalities and abortion at 32 mg/kg, a dose equivalent to four times the recommended human dose based on body surface area comparisons. Visceral abnormalities included abnormal lobation of the lung, levocardia, retrocaval ureter, anomalous right subclavian artery, and dilatation of the ureter. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of micafungin in human milk, the effects on the breast-fed infant or the effects on milk production . Micafungin was present in the milk of lactating rats following intravenous administration. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection, and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed child from Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection, or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection is indicated in pediatric patients for whom appropriate dosing with this formulation can be achieved. Because of the limitations of the available strengths and administration requirements (i.e., administration of fractional doses is not recommended) of Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection, and to avoid unintentional overdose, this product is not recommended for use if a dose of Micafungin in Sodium Chloride Injection that does not equal 50 mg, 100 mg, or 150 mg is required, and an alternative formulation of micafungin should be considered [ see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.4 )]. Pediatric Patients 4 Months of Age and Older The safety and effectiveness of micafungin for injection for the treatment of esophageal candidiasis, candidemia, acute disseminated candidiasis, Candida peritonitis and abscesses, esophageal candidiasis, and for prophylaxis of Candida infections in patients undergoing HSCT have been established in pediatric patients 4 months of age and older. Use of micafungin for these indications and in this age group is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adult and pediatric patients with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients 4 months of age and older [ see Indications and Usage (1) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , and Clinical Studies (14) ] . Pediatric Patients Younger than 4 Months of Age Treatment of Candidemia, Acute Disseminated Candidiasis, Candida Peritonitis and Abscesses Without Meningoencephalitis and/or Ocular Dissemination in Pediatric Patients Younger Than 4 Months of Age The sa …
