Indications and Usage:

1 indications and usage acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen is a daily wear, daily disposable etafilcon a drug-eluting contact lens for prevention ocular itch due to allergic conjunctivitis and correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in aphakic and/or phakic patients who do not have red eye(s), are suitable for contact lens wear and do not have more than 1 d of astigmatism. the lens contains an h 1 histamine receptor antagonist for the prevention of ocular itch due to allergic conjunctivitis. the prevention of itch has been demonstrated to last through 12 hours in clinical trials; however, the lens may be worn for longer than 12 hours in a single day. acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen is a daily wear, daily disposable etafilcon a drug-eluting contact lens packaged with an h 1 histamine receptor antagonist, indicated for the prevention ocular itch due to allergic conjunctivitis and correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in aphakic
and/or phakic patients who do not have red eye(s), are suitable for contact lens wear and do not have more than 1 d of astigmatism. ( 1 )

Warnings and Cautions:

5 warnings and precautions corneal ulcer: remove lenses ( 5.1 ) contact lens related complications: remove lenses ( 5.2 ) chemical exposures: flush eyes with water ( 5.3 ) acanthamoeba keratitis: do not wear while swimming ( 5.4 ) 5.1 corneal ulcers acuvue theravision with ketotifen should not be inserted if the patient has corneal epithelial breakdown, corneal ulceration, dry eye disease, injury or abnormality that affects the eyelids or anterior segment of the eye. contact lens wear may worsen these conditions and lead to sight threatening complications. if a patient experiences eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, or redness of the eye, the patient should be instructed to immediately remove the lenses, and promptly contact the eye care professional. studies have shown that when daily wear users wear their lenses overnight, the risk of ulcerative keratitis is greater than among those who do not wear them overnight. contact lens wearers who are smokers have a higher inci
dence of corneal ulcers than nonsmokers. 5.2 contact lens-related complications acuvue theravision with ketotifen should not be used to treat or prevent lens-related symptoms including irritation, discomfort or redness. acuvue theravision with ketotifen insertion could result in serious injury if a patient is experiencing these symptoms. patients should be cautioned that proper use and care of contact lenses and lens care products are essential for the safe use of these products. if patients experience symptoms of contact lens intolerance or keratitis, the lens(es) should be immediately removed. 5.3 chemical exposures if chemicals of any kind (household products, gardening solutions, laboratory chemicals, etc.) are splashed into the eyes, the patient should: flush eyes immediately with water and immediately contact the eye care professional or visit a hospital emergency room without delay. 5.4 acanthamoeba keratitis acuvue theravision with ketotifen should not be worn while swimming or in hot tubs. the lens should not be rinsed in water from the tap. tap water contains many impurities that can contaminate or damage the lenses and may lead to eye infection or injury. contact lens wear in these settings increases the risk of sight threatening eye infections from microorganisms. 5.5 backup spectacles eye care professionals should instruct the patient to always have a functional pair of spectacles with a current prescription available to use if the patient becomes unable to wear contact lenses, or in circumstances where contact lens wear is not advised. 5.6 eye protection patients should be advised to notify the employer of being a contact lens wearer. some jobs may require the use of eye protection equipment or may require that the patient not wear contact lenses. 5.7 concomitant use of eye drops or eye medications eye drops or eye medications containing benzalkonium chloride should not be used simultaneously with acuvue® theravision™ with ketotifen. wait at least 10 minutes after eye drop application before inserting lenses.

Dosage and Administration:

2 dosage and administration insert one lens per eye per day. discard lens after a single day's use. ( 2.1 ) lenses should be removed prior to sleeping. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 general dosing information one acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen should be inserted per eye per day. discard lens after a single day's use. acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen may be worn beyond twelve hours for vision correction. lenses should be removed prior to sleeping. the maximum daily wearing time should be determined by the eye care professional based upon the patient's individual response to contact lenses. patients tend to over wear the lenses initially. the eye care professional should emphasize the importance of adhering to the initial maximum daily wearing time. regular checkups, as determined by the eye care professional, are also extremely important. eye drops containing benzalkonium chloride should not be used simultaneously with this product. patients should wait 10 minutes after applying
eye drop with benzalkonium chloride before inserting or reinserting lenses. if the lens sticks (stops moving), the patient should be instructed to remove the lens. a few drops of non-preserved sterile saline solution may be applied directly to the eye to assist with removal. if non-movement of the lens continues after a few minutes, the patient should immediately consult their eye care professional. do not use contact lens cleaning and disinfectant solutions with acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen. 2.2 contact lens fitting information see the acuvue® theravision™ with ketotifen fitting instruction guide for professional fitting instructions and information.

Clinical Pharmacology:

12 clinical pharmacology 12.1 mechanism of action device component in its hydrated state, the lens when placed on the cornea, acts as a refracting medium to focus light rays on the retina to correct refractive ametropia for as long as the lens is worn (up to 24 hours while awake). drug component ketotifen fumarate, a benzocycloheptathiophene derivative, is a h 1 receptor antagonist that stabilizes mast cells and prevents eosinophil accumulation. this action prevents the onset of ocular allergic itch allowing for continued lens wear during episodes of allergen exposure and has been demonstrated to last through 12 hours.

Clinical Studies:

14 clinical studies the safety and efficacy of acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen was assessed in two double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical conjunctival allergen challenge (cac) studies (cr-4483 and cr-4484) and two 12-week safety studies (cr-4490 and cr-4539). patients in these studies had allergic conjunctivitis induced by an ocular allergen challenge and refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) suitable for contact lens wear without more than 1.00 d of astigmatism. a total of 244 patients (488 eyes) were evaluate in the cac studies. a total of 491 subjects were exposed to acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen over a period of 12 weeks in the safety studies. these four studies demonstrated that acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen was safe and more effective than placebo (1 • day acuvue ® ) in preventing ocular itching in patients with allergic conjunctivitis. acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen reduced ocular itching with
in 3 minutes and the response was sustained for up to 12 hours after lens insertion. visual acuity was comparable between acuvue ® theravision™ with ketotifen and 1•day acuvue ® . not all refractive powers, design configurations, or lens parameters available were tested in clinical investigation of the lenses. therefore, when selecting an appropriate lens design, the eye care professional should consider all characteristics of the lens that can affect lens performance and ocular health, including oxygen permeability, wettability, central and peripheral thickness and optic zone diameter. the potential impact of these factors on the patient's ocular health should be carefully weighed against the patient's need for refractive correction and prevention of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis; therefore, the continuing ocular health of the patient and lens performance on the eye should be carefully monitored by the prescribing eye care professional.
