Clinical Pharmacology:
12 clinical pharmacology 12.1 mechanism of action cyclosporine is an immunosuppressive agent when administered systemically. in patients whose tear production is presumed to be suppressed due to ocular inflammation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca, cyclosporine emulsion is thought to act as a partial immunomodulator. the exact mechanism of action is not known. 12.3 pharmacokinetics blood cyclosporine a concentrations were measured using a specific high pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry assay. blood concentrations of cyclosporine, in all the samples collected, after topical administration of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion, 0.05%, twice daily, in humans for up to 12 months, were below the quantitation limit of 0.1 ng/ml. there was no detectable drug accumulation in blood during 12 months of treatment with cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion, 0.05%.

Nonclinical Toxicology:

Clinical Studies:
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. in clinical trials, the most common adverse reaction following the use of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion, 0.05% was ocular burning (17%). other reactions reported in 1% to 5% of patients included conjunctival hyperemia, discharge, epiphora, eye pain, foreign body sensation, pruritus, stinging, and visual disturbance (most often blurring).
14 clinical studies four multicenter, randomized, adequate and well-controlled clinical studies were performed in approximately 1,200 patients with moderate to severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca. cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion, 0.05% demonstrated statistically significant increases in schirmer wetting of 10 mm versus vehicle at six months in patients whose tear production was presumed to be suppressed due to ocular inflammation. this effect was seen in approximately 15% of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion, 0.05%-treated patients versus approximately 5% of vehicle-treated patients. increased tear production was not seen in patients currently taking topical anti-inflammatory drugs or using punctal plugs. no increase in bacterial or fungal ocular infections was reported following administration of cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion, 0.05%.
