1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE OPSYNVI is a combination of macitentan, an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), and tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, indicated for chronic treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO Group I) in adult patients of WHO functional class (FC) II–III. ( 1.1 ) Individually, macitentan reduces the risk of clinical worsening events and hospitalization, and tadalafil improves exercise ability. ( 1.1 , 14 ) 1.1 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension OPSYNVI is the combination of macitentan and tadalafil indicated for the chronic treatment of adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO Group I and WHO Functional Class (FC) II–III). Individually, macitentan reduces the risk of clinical worsening events and hospitalization, and tadalafil improves exercise ability [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION One 10 mg/20 mg or 10 mg/40 mg tablet taken orally once daily with or without food. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage OPSYNVI is taken orally once daily with or without food. Swallow the tablets whole, with water. Do not cut, crush, or chew tablets. If the patient misses a dose of OPSYNVI, tell the patient to take it as soon as possible and then take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Tell the patient not to take two doses at the same time if a dose has been missed. For patients who are treatment-naïve to any PAH specific therapy or transitioning from ERA monotherapy The recommended starting dose of OPSYNVI is one 10 mg/20 mg tablet taken orally once daily with or without food for one week. If tolerated, up titrate OPSYNVI to one 10 mg/40 mg tablet taken orally once daily with or without food as the maintenance dose. For patients transitioning from PDE5 inhibitor monotherapy or PDE5 inhibitor and ERA therapy in combination The recommended dose of OPSYNVI is one 10 mg/40 mg tablet taken orally once daily. 2.2 Pregnancy Testing in Females of Reproductive Potential Exclude pregnancy before initiating treatment with OPSYNVI in females of reproductive potential [see Boxed Warning , Contraindications (4.1) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ].

3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS OPSYNVI is available as: 10 mg/20 mg Pink Oblong Film-coated "1020" on one side and "MT" on the other side 10 mg/40 mg White to almost-white Oblong Film-coated "1040" on one side and "MT" on the other side Film-coated tablets: Macitentan 10 mg and tadalafil 20 mg ( 3 ) Macitentan 10 mg and tadalafil 40 mg ( 3 )

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Pregnancy ( 4.1 ) Hypersensitivity ( 4.2 ) Concomitant Organic Nitrates ( 4.3 ) Concomitant Guanylate Cyclase (GC) Stimulators ( 4.4 ) 4.1 Pregnancy OPSYNVI may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. OPSYNVI is contraindicated in females who are pregnant. Macitentan was consistently shown to have teratogenic effects when administered to animals. If OPSYNVI is used during pregnancy, advise the patient of the potential risk to a fetus [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . 4.2 Hypersensitivity OPSYNVI is contraindicated in patients with a history of a hypersensitivity reaction to macitentan, tadalafil, or any component of the product. Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. Stevens-Johnson syndrome and exfoliative dermatitis have been reported with tadalafil [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ]. 4.3 Concomitant Organic Nitrates OPSYNVI is contraindicated in patients who are using any form of organic nitrate, either regularly or intermittently. Do not use nitrates within 48 hours of the last dose of OPSYNVI. Tadalafil potentiates the hypotensive effect of nitrates. This potentiation is thought to result from the combined effects of nitrates and tadalafil on the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. 4.4 Concomitant Guanylate Cyclase (GC) Stimulators Coadministration of GC stimulators such as riociguat with OPSYNVI is contraindicated. Tadalafil may potentiate the hypotensive effects of GC stimulators.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Clinically significant adverse reactions that appear in other sections of the labeling include: Hypersensitivity [see Contraindications (4.2) ] Embryo-fetal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Hypotension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Decrease in Hemoglobin [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Visual Loss [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) and Patient Counseling Information (17) ] Hearing loss [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Fluid Retention [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] Prolonged Erection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.11) ] Most common adverse reactions (≥10%) are edema/fluid retention, anemia, and headache/migraine. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Janssen at 1-800-526-7736 (1-800-JANSSEN) 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 overall safety profile of OPSYNVI is based on data from a double-blind, active-controlled, phase 3 clinical study (A DUE) and an open-label extension study, in patients with PAH [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . In the double-blind portion of the study, a total of 107 patients were treated with OPSYNVI 10 mg/40 mg, 35 patients were treated with 10 mg macitentan monotherapy, and 44 patients were treated with 40 mg tadalafil monotherapy. The duration of exposure to OPSYNVI during the double-blind portion was 16 weeks. The most common adverse reactions (occurring in ≥ 10% of the OPSYNVI-treated patients) from the double-blind study data were edema/fluid retention (21%), anemia (19%), and headache/migraine (18%). The incidence of treatment discontinuations due to adverse events among patients receiving OPSYNVI in the double-blind phase of the study was 8%. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were anemia and hemoglobin decreased (2% grouped) and peripheral edema and peripheral swelling (2% grouped). Table 3 presents adverse reactions seen in patients treated for 16 weeks during the double-blind portion of A DUE. Table 3: Adverse Reactions Occurring in 3% or More of Patients Treated with OPSYNVI During the 16-week Double-blind Study Portion of A DUE Adverse Reaction OPSYNVI N=107 % Macitentan Monotherapy N=35 % Tadalafil Monotherapy N=44 % Edema/fluid retention 21 14 16 Anemia 19 3 2 Headache 18 17 14 Abdominal pain 7 3 14 Hypotension 7 0 0 Myalgia 6 0 5 Nasopharyngitis 6 3 0 Nausea 6 0 7 Increased uterine bleeding 5 0 0 Back pain 5 3 9 Flushing 4 6 0 Vomiting 4 0 5 Palpitations 4 3 5 Pain in extremity 3 0 7 Epistaxis 3 0 0 One-hundred eighty-five patients received OPSYNVI in the double-blind or open-label phase of the study. The median exposure to OPSYNVI during the combined double-blind/open-label extension was 59.9 weeks with a mean exposure of 63.2 weeks. Adverse reactions from the combined double-blind/open-label study data were similar to those observed in the double-blind study. The following adverse reactions have been reported during clinical trials with the individual components of OPSYNVI but were not observed in 3% or more of subjects treated with OPSYNVI in the A DUE clinical trial: Macitentan: bronchitis, pharyngitis, transaminases increased, influenza, urinary tract infection. Tadalafil: lower respiratory tract infection, prolonged erections, gastroesophageal reflux disease, vision blurred, tinnitus, swelling face, chest pain. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience Additional adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of tadalafil. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is generally not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug e …

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A4 Inducers/Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use ( 7.2 , 7.3 ) Moderate Dual or Combined CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use ( 7.4 ) 7.1 Nitrates Administration of nitrates within 48 hours after the last dose of OPSYNVI is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4.3) ] . 7.2 Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Strong inducers of CYP3A4 such as rifampin significantly reduce macitentan exposure. Use of OPSYNVI with strong CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 7.3 Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors like ketoconazole increase exposure to both macitentan and tadalafil. Avoid concomitant use of OPSYNVI with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ritonavir, ketoconazole and itraconazole. Use other PAH treatment options when strong CYP3A4 inhibitors are needed [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 7.4 Moderate Dual or Combined CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 Inhibitors Concomitant use of moderate dual inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 such as fluconazole is predicted to increase macitentan exposure approximately 4-fold. Avoid concomitant use of OPSYNVI with moderate dual inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 (such as fluconazole and amiodarone) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Concomitant treatment of both a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor and moderate CYP2C9 inhibitor with OPSYNVI should also be avoided [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 7.5 Alpha-Blockers PDE5 inhibitors, including tadalafil, and alpha-adrenergic blocking agents are both vasodilators with blood-pressure-lowering effects. In patients who are taking alpha 1 blockers, concomitant administration of tadalafil may lead to symptomatic hypotension in some patients. Therefore, the combination of OPSYNVI and doxazosin is not recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. 7.6 Antihypertensives PDE5 inhibitors, including tadalafil, are mild systemic vasodilators. Clinical pharmacology studies were conducted to assess the effect of tadalafil on the potentiation of the blood–pressure–lowering effects of selected antihypertensive medications (amlodipine, angiotensin II receptor blockers, bendroflumethiazide, enalapril, and metoprolol). Small reductions in blood pressure occurred following coadministration of tadalafil with these agents compared with placebo [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. 7.7 Alcohol Both alcohol and tadalafil, a PDE5 inhibitor, act as mild vasodilators. When mild vasodilators are taken in combination, blood-pressure–lowering effects of each individual compound may be increased. Substantial consumption of alcohol (e.g., 5 units or greater) in combination with OPSYNVI can increase the potential for orthostatic signs and symptoms, including increase in heart rate, decrease in standing blood pressure, dizziness, and headache. Tadalafil (10 mg or 20 mg) did not affect alcohol plasma concentrations and alcohol did not affect tadalafil plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ].

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed ( 8.2 ) Renal Impairment: Avoid use in patients with creatinine clearance 15–29 mL/min ( 8.6 ) Hepatic Impairment: Do not initiate in patients with severe hepatic impairment ( 8.7 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on data from animal reproduction studies, OPSYNVI is contraindicated during pregnancy. Macitentan, a component of OPSYNVI, may cause embryo-fetal toxicity, including birth defects and fetal death, when administered to a pregnant female. Available data from postmarketing reports and published literature over decades of use with ERAs in the same class as OPSYNVI have not identified an increased risk of major birth defects; however, these data are limited. Methodological limitations of these postmarketing reports and published literature include lack of a control group; limited information regarding dose, duration, and timing of drug exposure; and missing data. These limitations preclude establishing a reliable estimate of the risk of adverse fetal and neonatal outcomes with maternal ERA use. Macitentan was teratogenic in rabbits and rats at all doses tested. Available data from a randomized controlled trial, observational studies, and case series with tadalafil use in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In tadalafil animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed with oral administration of tadalafil to pregnant rats and mice during organogenesis at exposures 7 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg/day (see Data ) . There are risks to the mother and the fetus associated with PAH in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ) . If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus [see Contraindications (4.1) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population 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 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk In patients with PAH, pregnancy is associated with an increased rate of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, including heart failure, stroke, spontaneous abortion, intrauterine growth restriction, premature labor, and preterm birth. Data Animal Data Macitentan In both rabbits and rats, there were cardiovascular and mandibular arch fusion abnormalities. Administration of macitentan to female rats from late pregnancy through lactation caused reduced pup survival and impairment of the male fertility of the offspring at all dose levels tested. Tadalafil Tadalafil and/or its metabolites cross the placenta, resulting in fetal exposure in rats. Animal reproduction studies showed no evidence of teratogenicity, embryotoxicity, or fetotoxicity when tadalafil was given to pregnant rats or mice at unbound tadalafil exposures up to 7 times the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg/day during organogenesis based on AUC. In one of two perinatal/postnatal developmental studies in rats, a reduction of postnatal pup survival was observed at dose levels of 60, 200 and 1000 mg/kg. The no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) for developmental toxicity was 30 mg/kg, which provided maternal exposure to unbound tadalafil concentrations approximately 5 times the exposure at the MRHD based on AUC. Signs of maternal toxicity occurred at doses greater than 200 mg/kg/day, which produced AUCs greater than 8 times the exposure at the MRHD. Surviving offspring had normal development and reproductive performance. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no da …

12.1 Mechanism of Action Macitentan Endothelin (ET)-1 and its receptors (ETA and ETB) mediate a variety of deleterious effects, such as vasoconstriction, fibrosis, proliferation, hypertrophy, and inflammation. In disease conditions such as PAH, the local ET system is upregulated and is involved in vascular hypertrophy and in organ damage. Macitentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist that inhibits the binding of ET-1 to both ETA and ETB receptors. Macitentan displays high affinity and sustained occupancy of the ET receptors in human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells. One of the metabolites of macitentan is also pharmacologically active at the ET receptors and is estimated to be about 20% as potent as the parent drug in vitro . The clinical impact of dual endothelin blockage is unknown. Tadalafil Tadalafil is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), the enzyme responsible for the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). PAH is associated with impaired release of nitric oxide by the vascular endothelium and consequent reduction of cGMP concentrations in the pulmonary vascular smooth muscle. PDE5 is the predominant phosphodiesterase in the pulmonary vasculature. Inhibition of PDE5 by tadalafil increases the concentrations of cGMP resulting in relaxation of pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells and vasodilation of the pulmonary vascular bed. Studies in vitro have shown that tadalafil is a selective inhibitor of PDE5. PDE5 is an enzyme found in corpus cavernosum, vascular smooth muscle, visceral smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, platelets, kidney, lung, and cerebellum. The effect of tadalafil is more potent on PDE5 than on other phosphodiesterases. Tadalafil is > 10,000-fold more potent for PDE5 than for PDE1, PDE2, PDE4 and PDE7, enzymes which are found in the heart, brain, blood vessels, liver, and other organs. Tadalafil is > 10,000-fold more potent for PDE5 than for PDE3, an enzyme found in the heart and blood vessels. This selectivity for PDE5 over PDE3 is important because PDE3 is an enzyme involved in cardiac contractility. Additionally, tadalafil is approximately 700-fold more potent for PDE5 than for PDE6, an enzyme which is found in the retina and is responsible for phototransduction. Tadalafil is also > 9,000-fold more potent for PDE5 than for PDE8, PDE9 and PDE10.

11 DESCRIPTION OPSYNVI ® is a single tablet combination containing two oral components used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension: macitentan, an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), and tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. Macitentan Macitentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist. The chemical name of macitentan is N-[5-(4-Bromophenyl)-6-[2-[(5-bromo-2-pyrimidinyl)oxy]ethoxy]-4- pyrimidinyl]-N'-propylsulfamide. It has a molecular formula of C 19 H 20 Br 2 N 6 O 4 S and a molecular weight of 588.27. Macitentan is achiral and has the following structural formula: Macitentan is a crystalline powder that is insoluble in water. In the solid state macitentan is very stable, is not hygroscopic, and is not light sensitive. Chemical Structure Tadalafil Tadalafil, an oral treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension, is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)–specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). Tadalafil has the empirical formula C 22 H 19 N 3 O 4 representing a molecular weight of 389.41. The structural formula is: The chemical designation is pyrazino[1 ́,2 ́:1,6]pyrido[3,4–b]indole-1,4-dione, 6-(1,3- benzodioxol-5-yl)-2,3,6,7,12,12a-hexahydro-2-methyl-, (6R,12aR)-. It is a crystalline solid that is practically insoluble in water and very slightly soluble in ethanol. Chemical Structure OPSYNVI OPSYNVI is available as 10 mg/20 mg macitentan/tadalafil and 10 mg/40 mg macitentan/tadalafil film-coated tablets for oral administration. Each OPSYNVI core tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: Hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose (low-substituted), lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polysorbate 80, povidone, sodium starch glycolate, sodium lauryl sulfate. OPSYNVI 10 mg/20 mg tablets are film-coated with a coating material containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow, lactose monohydrate, talc, titanium dioxide, and triacetin. OPSYNVI 10 mg/40 mg tablets are film-coated with a coating material containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose monohydrate, talc, titanium dioxide, and triacetin.

10 OVERDOSAGE In the event of an overdose, standard supportive measures should be taken, as required. Dialysis is unlikely to be effective because macitentan is highly protein-bound. Macitentan Macitentan has been administered as a single dose of up to and including 600 mg to healthy subjects (60 times the approved dosage). Adverse reactions of headache, nausea and vomiting were observed. Tadalafil Single doses of tadalafil up to 500 mg have been given to healthy male subjects, and multiple daily doses up to 100 mg have been given to male patients with erectile dysfunction. Adverse reactions were similar to those seen at lower doses. Doses greater than 40 mg have not been studied in patients with PAH. Hemodialysis contributes negligibly to tadalafil elimination.
