5 警告和注意事项
5.1 致畸胎效应
5.1致畸胎效应
A. Seysara,像其他四环素类,当给予至一位妊娠妇女可能致胎儿危害。如妊娠期间Seysara被使用或如患者当服用Seysara时成为妊娠,患者应被告知对胎儿潜在风险和治疗应被立即地停止。
B. 牙发育期间(妊娠的第二和第三个三个月,婴儿期,和儿童期至年龄8岁)四环素-类药物的使用可能致牙永久变色(黄-灰-棕)。这个不良反应是更常见这些药物长期使用期间,但重复的短期疗程后曽被观察到。还曽报道釉质发育不全。
C. 所有四环素类形成一个稳定的钙复合物在任何骨-形成组织中。在人早产儿给予口服四环素在剂量25 mg/kg每6小时曽被观察到一个减低在腓骨生长率。这个反应被显示是可逆性当药物被终止。动物研究的结果表明四环素类跨越胎盘,被发现在胎儿组织中,和可能致对发育中胎儿骨骼发育的延迟。在动物妊娠伴随母体毒性中用Seysara治疗曽被注意胚胎毒性的证据[见在特殊人群中使用(8.1)]。
5.2艰难梭菌[Clostridium difficile]伴腹泻(抗菌素伴结肠炎)
与接近所有抗微生物药,曽报道艰难梭菌伴腹泻(CDAD)和在严重程度可能范围从轻度腹泻至致命性结肠炎。用抗微生物药治疗改变结肠正常细菌菌群丛导致潜在艰难梭菌[C. difficile]过度生长。
艰难梭菌产生毒素 A和B它们对CDAD发展有贡献。艰难梭菌的高毒素[Hypertoxin]产生株致增加患病率和死亡率,因为这些感染可能是对抗微生物治疗难治性和可能需要结肠切除术colectomy]。
CDAD谨慎对待关于驾驶车辆或使用危险机械。治疗期间这些症状可能消失和当药物被终止时消失。
5.4 颅内高压
颅内高压在成年和青少年曽被伴随四环素类的使用。临床表现包括头痛,视力模糊和乳头水肿。尽管治疗的终止后,颅内高压的体征和症状解决,后遗症可能性例如视力丧失可能是永久或严重存在。育龄的妇女她是过重有一个更大风险发生颅内高压。用四环素类治疗开始前患者应被询问对视力障碍。异维甲酸[isotretinoin]和Seysara的同时使用应被避免因为异维甲酸,一种合成的retinoid,是也已知引起颅内高压[见药物相互作用(7.1)]。如治疗期间发生视力障碍,患者应被核查乳头水肿。
5.5 光敏感
光敏感表现被一个夸张晒伤反应曽被观察到在有些个体服用四环素类。患者应被减小化[minimize]或避免暴露至自然或人工阳光(晒黑床[tanning beds]或UVA/B治疗)当使用 Seysara。如患者需要在室外当使用Seysara时,他们应穿戴宽松衣服保护皮肤免受阳光暴露和与他们的医生探讨其他阳光保护措施。
5.6 抗药细菌的发展
在使用Seysara患者可能发生对四环素类抗性的细菌。因为Seysara的使用期间发生发展药物-抗性细菌的潜能,它只应在有适应证时使用。.
5.7重复感染[Superinfection]/潜能对微生物过度生长
如同用其他抗菌素制剂,Seysara的使用可能导致非易感性有机体,包括真菌的过度生长,如发生重复感染,Seysara应被终止和开始适当治疗。
6 不良反应
6.1 临床试验经验
因为临床试验是在广泛地不同条件下进行,在一个药物临床试验观察到的不良反应率不能被直接地与另一个药物的临床试验中率比较和可能不反映在实践中观察到率。
总共1064受试者和1069受试者有中度至严重寻常痤疮[acne vulgaris]分别被用Seysara和安慰剂治疗共12周在3项对照临床试验。唯一不良药物反应被报道在至少1%的受试者为恶心,Seysara (3.1%)相比较安慰剂(2.0%)。
以下附加的不良药物反应发生在低于1%的女性Seysara受试者: 外阴阴道真菌感染(0.8%)和阴道念珠菌病(0.6%)。
7 药物相互作用
7.1 其他药物对Seysara的影响
口服维甲酸
四环素类可能致增加的颅内压如同口服维甲酸,包括异维甲酸和阿维A [acitretin][见警告和注意事项(5.4)]。避免Seysara与口服维甲酸的共同给药。
抗酸剂和离子制备物
共同给药 与抗酸剂含铝,钙或镁,铋碱式水杨酸盐,和含-铁制剂可能损害Seysara的吸收,与其他四环素类相似, SEYSARA与含铝,钙或镁的分开给,铋碱式水杨酸盐,和含铁制剂,它们可能减低它的疗效。
7.2 Seysara对其他药物的影响
青霉素
与其他四环素相似,Seysara可能干扰青霉素的杀菌作用。避免Seysara与青霉素的共同给药。
抗凝剂
与其他四环素类相似,Seysara可能抑制血浆凝血酶原活性,它可能增加出血的风险在患者是用抗凝治疗。当与Seysara共同给药与适当时,减低抗凝剂剂量。
P-糖蛋白(P-gp)底物
Seysara的同时使用,可能增加同时地给药的P-gp底物(如地高辛)的浓度。监视药物是P-gp底的毒性而且可能需要剂量减低,当与Seysara同时地给予时[见临床药理学(12.3)]。
口服激素避孕药
Seysara对含炔雌醇[ethinyl estradiol]和醋酸炔诺酮[norethindrone acetate]的口服避孕药的疗效没有临床上意义的影响[见临床药理学(12.3)]。
8 在特殊人群中使用
8.1妊娠
风险总结
Seysara,像四环素类药物,可能致胎儿危害,牙永久变色,和骨生长的可逆性抑制作用当妊娠期间给药[见警告和注意事项(5.1)和在特殊人群中使用(8.4)]。可得到的有限人数据不能充分告知对出生缺陷或流产一个药物-关联风险。四环素类已知跨越胎盘屏障;所以,Seysara可能被转运从母亲至发育胎儿。在动物生殖研究中,当器官形成阶段期间口服给于妊娠大鼠在剂量1.4倍最大推荐人剂量(MRHD)的150 mg/day (根据AUC比较),sarecycline诱发在胎儿中骨骼畸形。当用sarecycline给药继续至哺乳阶段,在子代生存减低,子代体重,和植入部位在子代雌性中活胚胎发生在一个剂量3 倍MRHD (根据AUC比较) [见数据]。妊娠期间来自Seysara使用对胎儿潜在风险胜过对母亲潜在获益; 所以,妊娠被认识到时,妊娠患者应立即终止。
所有妊娠有出生缺陷,丢失,或其他不良结局的背景风险。不知道对适应证人群重大出生缺陷和流产估算的背景风险。在美国一般人群中,重大出生缺陷和在临床上认可妊娠中流产估算的背景风险分别为2%至4%和15%至20%。
数据
动物数据
在大鼠中一项胚胎胎儿发育研究,sarecycline被给予至妊娠大鼠在口服剂量至500 mg/kg/day器官形成期的阶段期间。在母体体重,胎儿体重和窝大小减低和增加再吸发生数和植入后丢失发生在500 mg/kg/day (7倍 MRHD 根据AUC比较)。骨骼畸形(弯曲前肢,后肢,和肩胛骨)发生在所有剂量水平(≥ 50 mg/kg/day,根据AUC比较1.4倍MRHD)。
在兔中一项胚胎胎儿发育研究中,sarecycline被给予至妊娠兔在口服剂量至150 mg/kg/day器官形成期阶段期间。过量母体毒性(死亡率/患病率/流产) 发生在150 mg/kg/day (5倍MRHD 根据AUC比较)和这个剂量组被早期终止。母体患病率也发生在100 mg/kg/day (根据AUC比较0.6倍MRHD)。无显著胚胎胎儿毒性或畸形被观察到在剂量至100 mg/kg/day (根据AUC比较0.6倍MRHD)。
在大鼠一项围产期[pre-和post-natal]发育研究,sarecycline被给予至母体大鼠在口服剂量至400 mg/kg/day器官形成的阶段期间至哺乳。过量窝毒性(窝丢失和死胎)发生在400 mg/kg/day (根据AUC比较8倍MRHD),它导致母兽在分娩的早期终止。在母兽哺乳阶段期间体重和食物耗量减低发生在150 mg/kg/day(根据AUC比较3倍MRHD)。在子代生存和子代体重减低在断奶和生产阶段期间,和减低在植入部位和活胚胎在雌性子代发生在150 mg/kg/day (根据AUC比较3倍MRHD)。未观察到显著母体或发育毒性在50 mg/kg/day (根据AUC比较1.4 倍MRHD)。
8.2 哺乳
风险总结
四环素类被排泄在人乳汁。因为对严重骨和牙发育的不良反应对在哺乳婴儿来自四环素-类抗菌素潜能,忠告建议用Seysara治疗一个妇女不要哺乳喂养[见警告和注意事项(5.1)].
8.3 生殖潜能的女性和男性
不孕不育
在尝试怀孕男性避免使用Seysara。在大鼠中一项生育力研究,sarecycline不良地影响精子生成当口服给予至雄性大鼠在一个剂量8倍MRHD (根据AUC比较) [见非临床毒理学(13.1)]。
8.4 儿童使用
在9岁和以上儿童患者,Seysara的安全性和有效性曽被确定对非-结节性寻常痤疮中度至严重炎症病变的治疗[见药代动力学 (12.3)和临床研究(14)]。
尚未确定在低于年龄9岁以下儿童患者Seysara的安全性和有效性。低于8岁不建议四环素-类抗菌素的使用由于对牙齿变色潜能[见警告和注意事项(5.1)]。
8.5 老年人使用
Seysara的临床研究没有包括充分数量的年龄 65和以上受试者以确定他们是否反应不同于较年轻受试者。
10 药物过量
在药物过量的病例中,终止药物,对症地治疗,和开始支持性措施。透析不能改变血清半衰期和因此在药物过量的治疗病例中不会是获益。

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
SEYSARA is contraindicated in persons who have shown hypersensitivity to any of the tetracyclines.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
A. SEYSARA, like other tetracyclines, can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If SEYSARA is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking SEYSARA, the
patient should be informed of the potential hazard to the fetus and treatment should be stopped immediately.
B. The use of drugs of the tetracycline-class during tooth development (second and third trimesters of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown). This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of these drugs, but has been observed following repeated short-term courses. Enamel hypoplasia has also been reported.
C. All tetracyclines form a stable calcium complex in any bone-forming tissue. A decrease in fibula growth rate has been observed in premature human infants given oral tetracycline in doses of 25 mg/kg every 6 hours. This reaction was shown to be reversible when the drug was discontinued. Results of animal studies indicate that tetracyclines cross the placenta, are found in fetal tissues, and can cause retardation of skeletal development on the developing fetus. Evidence of embryotoxicity has been noted in animals treated with SEYSARA during pregnancy in association with maternal toxicity[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
5.2 Clostridium difficileAssociated Diarrhea (Antibiotic Associated Colitis)
Clostridium difficileassociated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to potential overgrowth ofC. difficile.
C. difficileproduces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin producing strains ofC. difficilecause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents.
If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed againstC. difficileshould be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment ofC. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
5.3 Central Nervous System EffectsCentral nervous system side effects including light-headedness, dizziness or vertigo have been reported with tetracycline use. Patients who experience these symptoms should be cautioned about driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery. These symptoms may disappear during therapy and may disappear when the drug is discontinued.
5.4 Intracranial HypertensionIntracranial hypertension in adults and adolescents has been associated with the use of tetracyclines. Clinical manifestations include headache, blurred vision and papilledema. Although signs and symptoms of intracranial hypertension resolve after discontinuation of treatment, the possibility for sequelae such as visual loss that may be permanent or severe exists. Women of childbearing age who are overweight have a greater risk for developing intracranial hypertension. Patients should be questioned for visual disturbances prior to initiation of treatment with tetracyclines. Concomitant use of isotretinoin and SEYSARA should be avoided because isotretinoin, a systemic retinoid, is also known to cause intracranial hypertension[see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. If visual disturbance occurs during treatment, patients should be checked for papilledema.
5.5 PhotosensitivityPhotosensitivity manifested by an exaggerated sunburn reaction has been observed in some individuals taking tetracyclines. Patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight (tanning beds or UVA/B treatment) while using SEYSARA. If patients need to be outdoors while using SEYSARA, they should
wear loose-fitting clothes that protect skin from sun exposure and discuss other sun protection measures with their physician.
5.6 Development of Drug Resistant BacteriaBacterial resistance to tetracyclines may develop in patients using SEYSARA. Because of the potential for drug-resistant bacteria to develop during the use of SEYSARA, it should only be used as indicated.
5.7 Superinfection/Potential for Microbial OvergrowthAs with other antibiotic preparations, use of SEYSARA may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi. If superinfection occurs, SEYSARA should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
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.
A total of 1064 subjects and 1069 subjects with moderate to severe acne vulgaris were treated with SEYSARA and placebo, respectively, for 12 weeks in 3 controlled clinical trials. The only adverse drug reaction that was reported in at least 1% of subjects was nausea, SEYSARA (3.1%) versus placebo (2.0%).
The following additional adverse drug reactions occurred in less than 1% of female SEYSARA subjects: vulvovaginal mycotic infection (0.8%) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (0.6%).
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on SEYSARA
Oral Retinoids
Tetracyclines may cause increased intracranial pressure as do oral retinoids, including isotretinoin and acitretin
[see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. Avoid coadministration of SEYSARA with oral retinoids.
Antacids and Iron Preparations
Coadministration with antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium, bismuth subsalicylate, and iron- containing preparations may impair absorption of SEYSARA, similar to other tetracyclines, which may decrease its efficacy. Separate dosing of SEYSARA from antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium, bismuth subsalicylate, and iron-containing preparations.
7.2 Effect of SEYSARA on Other Drugs
Penicillin
Similar to other tetracycline, SEYSARA may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin. Avoid coadministration of SEYSARA with penicillin.
Anticoagulants
Similar to other tetracyclines, SEYSARA may depress plasma prothrombin activity, which may increase the risk of bleeding in patients who are on anticoagulant therapy. Decrease anticoagulant dosage when coadministered with SEYSARA as appropriate.
P-Glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates
Concomitant use of SEYSARA may increase concentrations of concomitantly administered P-gp substrates (e.g. digoxin). Monitor for toxicities of drugs that are P-gp substrates and may require dosage reduction when given concurrently with SEYSARA[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Oral Hormonal Contraceptives
There is no clinically significant effect of SEYSARA on the efficacy of oral contraceptives containing ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone acetate[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Risk Summary
SEYSARA, like tetracycline class drugs, may cause fetal harm, permanent discoloration of teeth, and reversible inhibition of bone growth when administered during pregnancy[see Warnings and Precautions(5.1)and Use in Specific Populations(8.4)]. The limited available human data are not sufficient to inform a drug-
associated risk for birth defects or miscarriage. Tetracyclines are known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, SEYSARA may be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. In animal reproduction studies, sarecycline induced skeletal malformations in fetuses when orally administered to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at a dose 1.4 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 150 mg/day (based on AUC comparison). When dosing with sarecycline continued through the period of lactation, decreases in offspring survival, offspring body weight, and implantation sites and viable embryos in offspring females occurred at a dose 3 times the MRHD (based on AUC comparison)[see Data]. The potential risk to the fetus outweighs the potential benefit to the mother from SEYSARA use during pregnancy; therefore, pregnant patients should discontinue SEYSARA as soon as pregnancy is recognized.
All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. 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 embryofetal developmental study in rats, sarecycline was administered to pregnant rats at oral doses up to 500 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Decreases in maternal body weight, fetal body weight and litter size and increases in the number of resorption and postimplantation loss occurred at 500 mg/kg/day (7 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Skeletal malformations (bent forelimb, hindlimb, and scapula) occurred at all dose levels (≥ 50 mg/kg/day, 1.4 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).
In an embryofetal developmental study in rabbits, sarecycline was administered to pregnant rabbits at oral doses up to 150 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Excessive maternal toxicity (mortality/moribundity/abortion) occurred at 150 mg/kg/day (5 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison) and this dose group was terminated early. Maternal moribundity also occurred at 100 mg/kg/day (0.6 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). No significant embryofetal toxicity or malformations were observed at doses up to 100 mg/kg/day (0.6 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).
In a pre- and post-natal developmental study in rats, sarecycline was administered to maternal rats at oral doses up to 400 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis through lactation. Excessive litter toxicity (litter loss and stillbirth) occurred at 400 mg/kg/day (8 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison), which led to early termination of dams at parturition. Decreases in body weight and food consumption of dams during the lactation period occurred at 150 mg/kg/day (3 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Decreases in offspring survival and offspring body weight during the preweaning and growth period, and decreases in implantation sites and viable embryos in female offspring occurred at 150 mg/kg/day (3 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). No significant maternal or developmental toxicity was observed at 50 mg/kg/day (1.4 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).
Risk Summary
Tetracyclines are excreted in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions on bone and tooth development in nursing infants from tetracycline-class antibiotics, advise a woman that breastfeeding is not recommended with SEYSARA therapy[see Warnings and Precautions(5.1)].
8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive PotentialInfertility
Avoid using SEYSARA in males who are attempting to conceive a child. In a fertility study in rats, sarecycline adversely affected spermatogenesis when orally administered to male rats at a dose 8 times the MRHD (based on AUC comparison)[see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].
8.4 Pediatric UseThe safety and effectiveness of SEYSARA have been established in pediatric patients 9 years of age and older for the treatment of moderate to severe inflammatory lesions of non-nodular acne vulgaris[seePharmacokinetics (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14)].
Safety and effectiveness of SEYSARA in pediatric patients below the age of 9 years has not been established. Use of tetracycline-class antibiotics below the age of 8 is not recommended due to the potential for tooth discoloration[see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
8.5 Geriatric UseClinical studies of SEYSARA did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.
10 OVERDOSAGE
In case of overdosage, discontinue medication, treat symptomatically, and institute supportive measures. Dialysis does not alter serum half-life and thus would not be of benefit in treating cases of overdose.
11 DESCRIPTION
SEYSARA (sarecycline) tablets are a tetracycline class drug for oral administration. Sarecycline hydrochloride is chemically described as (4S,4aS,5aR,12aS)-4-(dimethylamino)-3,10,12,12a-tetrahydroxy-7-[(methoxy- (methyl)-amino)- methyl]-1,11-dioxo-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydrotetracene-2-carboxamide monohydrochloride with an empirical formula of C24H29N3O8.HCl and a molecular weight of 523.96.
The structural formula is represented below:
SEYSARA tablets contain 64.5 mg, 107.5 mg, and 161.2 mg of sarecycline hydrochloride equivalent to 60 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg sarecycline respectively. Inactive ingredients in the tablet formulations are: microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, sodium starch glycolate, and sodium stearyl fumarate. The yellow film
coating contains D&C yellow #10 aluminium lake, iron oxide yellow, methacrylic acid copolymer type C, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium bicarbonate, talc, and titatnium dioxide.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The mechanism of action of SEYSARA in treating acne vulgaris is not known.
12.2 PharmacodynamicsThe pharmacodynamics of SEYSARA for the treatment of acne vulgaris are unknown.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
At approximately 3 times the maximum recommended dose, SEYSARA did not prolong the QT interval to a clinically relevant extent.
12.3 PharmacokineticsIncreasing the SEYSARA dose from 60 to 150 mg once daily in healthy subjects resulted in a slightly less than proportional increase in sarcyeline steady-state Cmax and AUCtau. A mean accumulation ratio of sarecycline ranges from 1.5 to 1.6 fold with repeated dosing. Steady-state of sarecycline was reached by Day 7.
Absorption
The median time to peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of sarecycline is 1.5 to 2.0 hours.
Effect of Food
Coadministration with a high-fat (approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal), high-calorie (800 to 1000 Kcal) meal that included milk delayed Tmax by approximately 0.53 hour and decreased sarecycline Cmax by 31% and AUC by 27%.
Distribution
Protein binding of sarecycline is 62.5% to 74.7% in vitro. The mean apparent volume of distribution of sarecycline at steady-state ranges from 91.4 L to 97.0 L.
Elimination
The mean apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of sarecycline at steady state is approximately 3 L/h. The mean elimination half-life of sarecycline is 21 to 22 hours.
Metabolism
Metabolism of sarecycline by enzymes in human liver microsomes is minimal (< 15%) in vitro. Minor metabolites resulting from non-enzymic epimerization, O-/N-demethylation, hydroxylation, and desaturation have been found.
Excretion
After a single 100 mg oral dose of radiolabeled sarecycline, 42.6% of the dose was recovered in feces (14.9% as unchanged) and 44.1% in urine (24.7% as unchanged).
Specific Populations
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of sarecycline were observed based on age (11 to 73 years), weight (42 to 133 kg), sex, renal impairment, or mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child Pugh A to B). The effect of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) on sarecycline pharmacokinetics has not been assessed.
Drug Interaction Studies
Clinical Studies
Coadministration of SEYSARA with a combination oral contraceptive, ethinyl estradiol (EE) 20 mcg plus norethindrone (NE) acetate 1 mg, increased EE Cmax by 14% and AUCtau by 11%, and increased NE Cmax by 18% and AUCtau by 23%.
Coadministration of a single dose of SEYSARA 150 mg resulted in a 26% increase in Cmax of digoxin, a P-gp substrate.
In Vitro Studies
Sarecycline is not a substrate for P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, or OATP1B3.
Sarecycline is a P-gp inhibitor. Sarecycline does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4/5 isozymes, and does not inhibit OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT2, OAT1, OAT3, or BCRP.
Sarecycline does not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4/5 isozymes.
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
In a 2-year oral mouse carcinogenicity study and a 2-year oral rat carcinogenicity study, no drug-related neoplasms were observed in male mice at oral doses of sarecycline up to 100 mg/kg/day (approximately equal to the MRHD based on AUC comparison) or in female mice at doses up to 60 mg/kg/day (approximately equal to the MRHD based on AUC comparison), or in rats at doses up to 200/100 mg/kg/day (dose reduced from 200 to 100 mg/kg/day due to increased mortality; 8 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).
Sarecycline was not mutagenic or clastogenic in a series of in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity studies, including a bacteria reverse mutation (Ames) assay, an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in CHO cells, the L5178Y/TK+/- Mouse Lymphoma Assay, and an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats.
In a fertility and early embryonic development study in rats, sarecycline was administered to both male and female rats at oral doses up to 400 mg/kg/day prior to pairing and through the mating and postmating period. Female fertility was not affected at doses up to 400 mg/kg/day (8 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). In sperm evaluation, decreased sperm motility, decreased sperm count and concentration, and an increase in percent abnormal sperm occurred at 400 mg/kg/day (8 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Male fertility was not affected at doses up to 150 mg/kg/day (4 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
The safety and efficacy of once daily SEYSARA was assessed in two 12-week multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies (Study 1 [NCT02320149] and Study 2 [NCT02322866]). Efficacy was assessed in a total of 2002 subjects 9 years of age and older. Overall, 57% were female, 78% were Caucasian, 15% were Black or African American and 51% were adults (18 to 45 years of age). Subjects were randomized to receive either SEYSARA or placebo once daily.
The two co-primary efficacy endpoints were:
· Percentage of subjects with Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) success: a score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) and 2-point decrease from baseline on IGA score at Week 12.
· Absolute reduction from baseline in inflammatory lesion counts at Week 12.
The results at Week 12 are presented in the following table.

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information). Patients taking SEYSARA should receive the following information and instructions:
· SEYSARA should not be used by pregnant women or women attempting to conceive a child[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
· Advise a woman that breast feeding is not recommended during SEYSARA therapy.
· Advise patients thatC. difficilecolitis can occur with antibiotic therapy. If patients develop watery or bloody stools, they should seek medical attention.
· Advise patients that intracranial hypertension can occur with tetracycline therapy. If patients experience headache or blurred vision, they should seek medical attention.
· Patients who experience central nervous system symptoms should be cautioned about driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery while on SEYSARA therapy. Patients should seek medical help for persistent central nervous system symptoms.
· Photosensitivity manifested by an exaggerated sunburn reaction has been observed in some individuals taking tetracyclines. Advise patients to minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight (tanning beds or UVA/B treatment) while using SEYSARA. If patients need to be outdoors while using SEYSARA, they should wear loose-fitting clothes that protect skin from sun exposure and discuss other sun protection measures with their physician. Treatment should be discontinued at the first evidence of skin erythema.
· Advise patients that because of the potential for drug-resistant bacteria to develop during the use of SEYSARA, take SEYSARA as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may decrease the effectiveness of the current treatment course and increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by other antibacterial drugs in the future.
· Advise patients to drink fluids liberally along with SEYSARA to reduce the risk of esophageal irritation and ulceration[see Dosage and Administration (2)].
