Drug Interactions:

7 drug interactions antihypertensive drugs: monitor blood pressure. adjust dosage of antihypertensive drug as needed. ( 7 ) 7.1 clinically important drug interactions maoi inhibitors do not administer quillivant xr concomitantly with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (maois) or within 14 days after discontinuing maoi treatment. concomitant use of maois and cns stimulants can cause hypertensive crisis. potential outcomes include death, stroke, myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, ophthalmological complications, eclampsia, pulmonary edema, and renal failure. antihypertensive drugs quillivant xr may decrease the effectiveness of drugs used to treat hypertension. monitor blood pressure and adjust the dosage of the hypertensive drug as needed [see warnings and precautions ( 5.3 )]. risperidone combined use of methylphenidate with risperidone when there is a change, whether an increase or decrease, in dosage of either or both medications, may increase the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (eps
). monitor for signs of eps.

Boxed Warning:

Warning: abuse and dependence cns stimulants, including quillivant xr, other methylphenidate-containing products, and amphetamines, have a high potential for abuse and dependence. assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing, and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy [see warnings and precautions ( 5.1 ), drug abuse and dependence ( 9.2 , 9.3 )]. warning: abuse and dependence see full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. cns stimulants, including quillivant xr, have a high potential for abuse and dependence ( 5.1 , 9.2 , 9.3 ) assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing, and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy ( 5.1 , 9.2 )

Indications and Usage:

1 indications and usage quillivant xr is indicated for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) [see clinical studies ( 14 )]. quillivant xr is a central nervous system (cns) stimulant indicated for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd). ( 1 )

Warnings and Cautions:

5 warnings and precautions serious cardiovascular reactions: sudden death has been reported in association with cns stimulants at recommended doses in children and adolescents with structural cardiac abnormalities or other serious heart problems. in adults, sudden death, stroke, and myocardial infarction have been reported. avoid use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious heart arrhythmias, or coronary artery disease. ( 5.2 ) blood pressure and heart rate increases: monitor blood pressure and pulse. consider the benefits and risks in patients for whom an increase in blood pressure or heart rate would be problematic. ( 5.3 ) psychiatric adverse reactions: use of cns stimulants may cause psychotic or manic symptoms in patients with no prior history, or exacerbation of symptoms in patients with pre-existing psychiatric illness. evaluate for bipolar disorder prior to quillivant xr use. ( 5.4 ) priapism: cases of painful and prolonged penile erectio
ns and priapism have been reported with methylphenidate products. immediate medical attention should be sought if signs or symptoms of prolonged penile erections or priapism are observed. ( 5.5 ) peripheral vasculopathy, including raynaud’s phenomenon: cns stimulants used to treat adhd are associated with peripheral vasculopathy, including raynaud’s phenomenon. careful observation for digital changes is necessary during treatment with adhd stimulants. ( 5.6 ) long-term suppression of growth: monitor height and weight at appropriate intervals in pediatric patients. ( 5.7 ) 5.1 potential for abuse and dependence cns stimulants, including quillivant xr, other methylphenidate-containing products, and amphetamines, have a high potential for abuse and dependence. assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing, and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy [see drug abuse and dependence ( 9.2 , 9.3 )]. 5.2 serious cardiovascular reactions stroke and myocardial infarction have occurred in adults treated with cns stimulants at recommended doses. sudden death has occurred in children and adolescents with structural cardiac abnormalities and other serious cardiac problems, and in adults taking cns stimulants at recommended doses for adhd. avoid use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious cardiac arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, or other serious cardiac problems. further evaluate patients who develop exertional chest pain, unexplained syncope, or arrhythmias during treatment with quillivant xr. 5.3 blood pressure and heart rate increases cns stimulants cause an increase in blood pressure (mean increase approximately 2 to 4 mm hg) and heart rate (mean increase approximately 3 to 6 bpm). individuals may have larger increases. monitor all patients for hypertension and tachycardia. 5.4 psychiatric adverse reactions exacerbation of pre-existing psychosis cns stimulants may exacerbate symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder in patients with a pre-existing psychotic disorder. induction of a manic episode in patients with bipolar disorder cns stimulants may induce a manic or mixed episode in patients. prior to initiating treatment, screen patients for risk factors for developing a manic episode (e.g., comorbid or history of depressive symptoms or a family history of suicide, bipolar disorder, or depression). new psychotic or manic symptoms cns stimulants, at recommended doses, may cause psychotic or manic symptoms (e.g., hallucinations, delusional thinking, or mania) in patients without a prior history of psychotic illness or mania. if such symptoms occur, consider discontinuing quillivant xr. in a pooled analysis of multiple short-term, placebo-controlled studies of cns stimulants, psychotic or manic symptoms occurred in approximately 0.1% of cns stimulant-treated patients, compared to 0 in placebo-treated patients. 5.5 priapism prolonged and painful erections, sometimes requiring surgical intervention, have been reported with methylphenidate products in both pediatric and adult patients. priapism was not reported with drug initiation but developed after some time on the drug, often subsequent to an increase in dose. priapism has also appeared during a period of drug withdrawal (drug holidays or during discontinuation). patients who develop abnormally sustained or frequent and painful erections should seek immediate medical attention. 5.6 peripheral vasculopathy, including raynaud’s phenomenon cns stimulants, including quillivant xr, used to treat adhd are associated with peripheral vasculopathy, including raynaud’s phenomenon. signs and symptoms are usually intermittent and mild; however, very rare sequelae include digital ulceration and/or soft tissue breakdown. effects of peripheral vasculopathy, including raynaud’s phenomenon, were observed in post-marketing reports at different times and at therapeutic doses in all age groups throughout the course of treatment. signs and symptoms generally improve after reduction in dose or discontinuation of drug. careful observation of digital changes is necessary during treatment with adhd stimulants. further clinical evaluation (e.g., rheumatology referral) may be appropriate for certain patients. 5.7 long-term suppression of growth cns stimulants have been associated with weight loss and slowing of growth rate in pediatric patients. careful follow-up of weight and height in pediatric patients ages 7 to 10 years who were randomized to either methylphenidate or nonmedication treatment groups over 14 months, as well as in naturalistic subgroups of newly methylphenidate-treated and nonmedication-treated pediatric patients over 36 months (to the ages of 10 to 13 years), suggests that consistently medicated pediatric patients (i.e., treatment for 7 days per week throughout the year) have a temporary slowing in growth rate (on average, a total of about 2 cm less growth in height and 2.7 kg less growth in weight over 3 years), without evidence of growth rebound during this period of development. closely monitor growth (weight and height) in pediatric patients treated with cns stimulants, including quillivant xr. patients who are not growing or gaining height or weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted.

Dosage and Administration:

2 dosage and administration before administering the dose, vigorously shake bottle for at least 10 seconds. ( 2.2 ) may be taken with or without food. ( 2.3 ) for patients 6 years and above, recommended starting dose is 20 mg given orally once daily in the morning. dosage may be increased weekly in increments of 10 mg to 20 mg per day. daily dosage above 60 mg is not recommended. ( 2.2 ) reconstitution instructions for the pharmacist: tap bottle until powder flows freely. remove bottle cap, add specified amount of water for reconstitution. insert bottle adapter into neck of bottle. replace bottle cap. shake with vigorous back and forth motion for at least 10 seconds to prepare suspension. ( 2.6 ) 2.1 pre-treatment screening prior to treating children, adolescents, and adults with cns stimulants including quillivant xr, assess for the presence of cardiac disease (i.e., perform a careful history, family history of sudden death or ventricular arrhythmia, and physical exam) [see warnings a
nd precautions ( 5.2 )]. assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing, and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy. maintain careful prescription records, educate patients about abuse, monitor for signs of abuse and overdose, and periodically re-evaluate the need for quillivant xr use [see boxed warning , warnings and precautions ( 5.1 ), drug abuse and dependence ( 9 )]. 2.2 general dosing information before administering the dose, vigorously shake the bottle of quillivant xr for at least 10 seconds, to ensure that the proper dose is administered. the recommended starting dose of quillivant xr for patients 6 years and above is 20 mg once daily in the morning. the dose may be titrated weekly in increments of 10 mg to 20 mg. daily doses above 60 mg have not been studied and are not recommended. as with any cns stimulant, during titration of quillivant xr, the prescribed dose should be adjusted, if necessary, until a well‑tolerated, therapeutic dose is achieved. pharmacologic treatment of adhd may be needed for extended periods. health care providers should periodically re-evaluate the long-term use of quillivant xr, and adjust dosage as needed. patients should be advised to avoid alcohol while taking quillivant xr [see clinical pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. 2.3 administration instructions quillivant xr should be orally administered once daily in the morning with or without food [see clinical pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. 2.4 switching from other methylphenidate products if switching from other methylphenidate products, discontinue that treatment, and titrate with quillivant xr using the above titration schedule. do not substitute for other methylphenidate products on a milligram-per-milligram basis, because of different methylphenidate base compositions and differing pharmacokinetic profiles [see description ( 11 ), clinical pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. 2.5 dose reduction and discontinuation if paradoxical aggravation of symptoms or other adverse effects occur, reduce dosage, or, if necessary, discontinue the drug. quillivant xr should be periodically discontinued to assess the child’s condition. if improvement is not observed after appropriate dosage adjustment over a one-month period, the drug should be discontinued. 2.6 reconstitution instructions for the pharmacist quillivant xr is supplied as a powder for oral suspension which must be reconstituted with water prior to dispensing. preparation instructions: tap bottle until powder flows freely. remove bottle cap, and add specified amount of water to the bottle (see table 1 below). fully insert bottle adapter into neck of bottle [see instructions for use , figures f and g] . replace bottle cap. shake with vigorous back and forth motion for at least 10 seconds to prepare suspension. table 1: product reconstitution instructions amount of drug in bottle amount of water to add to bottle final reconstituted volume (yield) 300 mg 53 ml 60 ml 600 mg 105 ml 120 ml 750 mg 131 ml 150 ml 900 mg 158 ml 180 ml store reconstituted quillivant xr at 25ºc (77ºf); excursions permitted from 15º to 30ºc (59º to 86ºf). dispense in original packaging (bottle in carton) with bottle adapter inserted and with enclosed oral dosing dispenser. quillivant xr is stable for up to 4 months after reconstitution.

8.4 pediatric use the safety and effectiveness of quillivant xr have been established in pediatric patients ages 6 to 17 years. use of quillivant xr in pediatric patients 6 to 12 years of age is supported by one adequate and well-controlled study [see clinical studies ( 14 )]. use in 12 to 17 year old's is supported by the adequate and well-controlled studies of quillivant xr in younger pediatric patients and additional pharmacokinetic data in adolescents, along with safety information from other methylphenidate‑containing products. the long-term efficacy of methylphenidate in pediatric patients has not been established. safety and efficacy in pediatric patients below the age of 6 years have not been established. long term suppression of growth growth should be monitored during treatment with cns stimulants, including quillivant xr. children who are not growing or gaining weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted [see warnings and precautions ( 5.7 )]. juveni
le animal data rats treated with methylphenidate early in the postnatal period through sexual maturation demonstrated a decrease in spontaneous locomotor activity in adulthood. a deficit in acquisition of a specific learning task was observed in females only. the doses at which these findings were observed are at least 6 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) on a mg/m 2 basis. in the study conducted in young rats, methylphenidate was administered orally at doses of up to 100 mg/kg/day for 9 weeks, starting early in the postnatal period (postnatal day 7) and continuing through sexual maturity (postnatal week 10). when these animals were tested as adults (postnatal weeks 13 to 14), decreased spontaneous locomotor activity was observed in males and females previously treated with 50 mg/kg/day (approximately 6 times the maximum recommended human dose [mrhd] on a mg/m 2 basis) or greater, and a deficit in the acquisition of a specific learning task was observed in females exposed to the highest dose (12 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). the no effect level for juvenile neurobehavioral development in rats was 5 mg/kg/day (half the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). the clinical significance of the long-term behavioral effects observed in rats is unknown.

Geriatric Use:

8.5 geriatric use quillivant xr has not been studied in patients over the age of 65 years.

Overdosage:

10 overdosage consult with a certified poison control center (1-800-222-1222) for up-to-date guidance and advice on the management of overdosage with methylphenidate. signs and symptoms of acute methylphenidate overdosage, resulting principally from overstimulation of the cns and from excessive sympathomimetic effects, may include the following: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, anxiety, agitation, tremors, hyperreflexia, muscle twitching, convulsions (may be followed by coma), euphoria, confusion, hallucinations, delirium, sweating, flushing, headache, hyperpyrexia, tachycardia, palpitations, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, hypotension, tachypnea, mydriasis, dryness of mucous membranes, and rhabdomyolysis.

dependence:

9.3 dependence tolerance tolerance (a state of adaptation in which exposure to a drug results in a reduction of the drug’s desired and/or undesired effects over time) can occur during chronic therapy with cns stimulants including quillivant xr. dependence physical dependence (a state of adaptation manifested by a withdrawal syndrome produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, or administration of an antagonist) can occur in patients treated with cns stimulants including quillivant xr. withdrawal symptoms after abrupt cessation following prolonged high-dosage administration of cns stimulants include dysphoric mood; fatigue; vivid, unpleasant dreams; insomnia or hypersomnia; increased appetite; and psychomotor retardation or agitation.

Description:

11 description quillivant xr is a powder that, after reconstitution with water, forms an extended-release oral suspension formulation of methylphenidate intended for once daily oral administration. quillivant xr contains approximately 20% immediate-release and 80% extended-release methylphenidate. after reconstitution, quillivant xr is available in a 25 mg per 5 ml (5 mg per ml) extended-release oral suspension. methylphenidate hcl is a central nervous system (cns) stimulant. the chemical name is methyl α-phenyl-2-piperidineacetate hydrochloride, and its structural formula is shown in figure 1. figure 1: methylphenidate hcl structure c 14 h 19 no 2 •hci mol. wt. 269.77 methylphenidate hcl is a white, odorless crystalline powder. its solutions are acid to litmus. it is freely soluble in water and in methanol, soluble in alcohol, and slightly soluble in chloroform and in acetone. quillivant xr also contains the following inactive ingredients: sodium polystyrene sulfonate, povidone, triacetin, polyvinyl acetate, sucrose, anhydrous trisodium citrate, anhydrous citric acid, sodium benzoate, sucralose, poloxamer 188, corn starch, xanthan gum, talc, banana flavor, and silicon dioxide. figure 1. methylphenidate hcl structure

Clinical Pharmacology:

12 clinical pharmacology 12.1 mechanism of action methylphenidate hcl is a central nervous system (cns) stimulant. 12.2 pharmacodynamics methylphenidate is a racemic mixture comprised of the d- and l- isomers. the d- isomer is more pharmacologically active than the l ‑ isomer. the mode of therapeutic action in adhd is not known. methylphenidate blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increases the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space. 12.3 pharmacokinetics absorption following a single, 60 mg oral dose of quillivant xr in 28 healthy adult subjects in a crossover study under fasting conditions, d- methylphenidate ( d- mph) mean (± sd) peak plasma concentrations of 13.6 (± 5.8) ng/ml occurred at a median time of 5 hours after dosing (figure 2). the relative bioavailability of quillivant xr compared to methylphenidate ir oral solution (2x30 mg, q6h) is 95%. figure 2: mean d- methylphenidate plasma concentration-time

Nonclinical Toxicology:

13 nonclinical toxicology 13.1 carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility carcinogenesis in a lifetime carcinogenicity study carried out in b6c3f1 mice, methylphenidate caused an increase in hepatocellular adenomas and, in males only, an increase in hepatoblastomas, at a daily dose of approximately 60 mg/kg/day. this dose is approximately 4 times the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/m 2 basis. hepatoblastoma is a relatively rare rodent malignant tumor type. there was no increase in total malignant hepatic tumors. the mouse strain used is sensitive to the development of hepatic tumors, and the significance of these results to humans is unknown. methylphenidate did not cause any increase in tumors in a lifetime carcinogenicity study carried out in f344 rats; the highest dose used was approximately 45 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 5 times the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/m 2 basis. mutagenesis methylphenidate was not mutagenic in the in vitro ames reverse mut
ation assay or in the in vitro mouse lymphoma cell forward mutation assay. sister chromatid exchanges and chromosome aberrations were increased, indicative of a weak clastogenic response, in an in vitro assay in cultured chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells. methylphenidate was negative in an in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay. impairment of fertility methylphenidate did not impair fertility in male or female mice that were fed diets containing the drug in an 18-week continuous breeding study. the study was conducted at doses of up to 160 mg/kg/day, approximately 8-fold the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/m 2 basis.

Clinical Studies:

14 clinical studies the efficacy of quillivant xr was evaluated in a laboratory classroom study conducted in 45 pediatric patients (ages 6 to 12 years) with adhd. patients in the trial met diagnostic and statistical manual of mental diseases, 4th edition (dsm-iv ® ) criteria for adhd. the study began with an open-label dose optimization period (4 to 6 weeks) with an initial quillivant xr dose of 20 mg once daily in the morning. the dose could be titrated weekly in increments of 10 or 20 mg until a therapeutic dose or the maximum dose of 60 mg/day was reached. at the end of the dose optimization period, approximately 5% of subjects were receiving 20 mg/day; 39%, 30 mg/day; 31%, 40 mg/day; 10%, 50 mg/day; and 15%, 60 mg/day. subjects then entered a 2-week randomized, double-blind, crossover treatment with the individually optimized dose of quillivant xr or placebo. at the end of each week, school teachers and raters evaluated the attention and behavior of the subjects in a laboratory
classroom using the swanson, kotkin, agler, m-flynn, and pelham (skamp) rating scale. the primary efficacy endpoint was the skamp-combined score at 4 hours post-dosing. the key secondary efficacy endpoints were the skamp-combined scores at 0.75, 2, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dosing. results from the first double-blind, placebo-controlled week of the study are summarized in figure 3. skamp-combined scores were statistically significantly lower (improved) at all time points (0.75, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 hours) post-dosing with quillivant xr compared to placebo. figure 3: absolute skamp-combined score after treatment with quillivant xr or placebo during period 1. figure 3 figure 3
