Use in Specific Population:

8 use in specific populations 8.1 pregnancy risk summary there are no randomized clinical trials of oral or topical roflumilast in pregnant women. in animal reproduction studies, roflumilast administered orally to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis produced no fetal structural abnormalities at doses up to 9 and 8 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd), respectively. roflumilast induced post-implantation loss in rats at oral doses greater than or equal to 3 times the mrhd. roflumilast induced stillbirth and decreased pup viability in mice at oral doses 5 and 15 times the mrhd, respectively. roflumilast has been shown to adversely affect pup post-natal development when dams were treated with an oral dose 15 times the mrhd during pregnancy and lactation periods in mice (see data ) . the 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 bir
th defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations labor and delivery zoryve should not be used during labor and delivery. there are no human studies that have investigated effects of zoryve on preterm labor or labor at term; however, animal studies showed that oral roflumilast disrupted the labor and delivery process in mice. data animal data in an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats were dosed orally during the period of organogenesis with up to 1.8 mg/kg/day roflumilast (9 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). no evidence of structural abnormalities or effects on survival rates were observed. roflumilast did not affect embryo-fetal development at a maternal oral dose of 0.2 mg/kg/day (equivalent to the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). in a fertility and embryo-fetal development study, male rats were dosed orally with up to 1.8 mg/kg/day roflumilast for 10 weeks and females for 2 weeks prior to pairing and throughout the organogenesis period. roflumilast induced pre- and post-implantation loss at maternal oral doses greater than or equal to 0.6 mg/kg/day (3 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). roflumilast did not cause fetal structural abnormalities at maternal oral doses up to 1.8 mg/kg/day (9 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). in an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, pregnant does were dosed orally with 0.8 mg/kg/day roflumilast during the period of organogenesis. roflumilast did not cause fetal structural abnormalities at the maternal oral doses of 0.8 mg/kg/day (8 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). in pre- and post-natal developmental studies in mice, dams were dosed orally with up to 12 mg/kg/day roflumilast during the period of organogenesis and lactation. roflumilast induced stillbirth and decreased pup viability at maternal oral doses greater than 2 mg/kg/day and 6 mg/kg/day, respectively (5 and 15 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis, respectively). roflumilast induced delivery retardation in pregnant mice at maternal oral doses greater than 2 mg/kg/day (5 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). roflumilast decreased pup rearing frequencies at a maternal oral dose of 6 mg/kg/day during pregnancy and lactation (15 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). roflumilast also decreased survival and forelimb grip reflex and delayed pinna detachment in mouse pups at a maternal oral dose of 12 mg/kg/day (29 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). 8.2 lactation risk summary there is no information regarding the presence of zoryve in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. roflumilast and/or its metabolites are excreted into the milk of lactating rats (see data ) . when a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will present in human milk. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for zoryve and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from zoryve or from the underlying maternal condition. clinical considerations to minimize potential exposure to the breastfed infant via breast milk, use zoryve on the smallest area of skin and for the shortest duration possible while breastfeeding. advise breastfeeding women not to apply zoryve directly to the nipple and areola to avoid direct infant exposure. data animal data roflumilast and/or its metabolite concentrations measured 8 hours after an oral dose of 1 mg/kg given to lactating rats were 0.32 and 0.02 mcg/g in the milk and pup liver, respectively. 8.4 pediatric use the safety and effectiveness of zoryve have been established in pediatric patients ages 12 years and older for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. use of zoryve in this age group is supported by data from two 8-week vehicle-controlled safety and efficacy trials which included 14 adolescent patients aged 12 to 17 years, of whom 8 received zoryve. eighteen adolescent patients were treated with zoryve in open-label trials of 2- and 24-weeks duration. the adverse reaction profile was similar to that observed in adults [see adverse reactions (6.1) , clinical pharmacology (12.3) , and clinical studies (14) ] . the safety and effectiveness of zoryve in pediatric patients below the age of 12 years have not been established. 8.5 geriatric use of the 881 subjects with psoriasis exposed to zoryve or vehicle for up to 8 weeks in 2 controlled clinical trials, 106 were 65 years of age or older. no overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the geriatric and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. based on available data for roflumilast, no adjustment of dosage in geriatric patients is warranted [see clinical pharmacology (12.3) ] . 8.6 hepatic impairment oral roflumilast 250 mcg once daily for 14 days was studied in subjects with hepatic impairment. the auc and c max values of roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide were increased in subjects with moderate (child-pugh b) hepatic impairment. zoryve is contraindicated in patients with moderate to severe liver impairment (child-pugh b or c) [see contraindications (4) , use in specific populations (8.6) , and clinical pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Description:

11 description zoryve (roflumilast) cream, 0.3% is a white to off-white cream for topical use. the active ingredient, roflumilast, is a phosphodiesterase 4 (pde4) inhibitor. roflumilast is described chemically as 3-cyclopropylmethoxy- n -(3,5-dichloropyridin-4-yl)-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzamide. the empirical formula is c 17 h 14 cl 2 f 2 n 2 o 3, and the molecular weight is 403.21. the structural formula is represented below: roflumilast is practically insoluble in water and hexane, sparingly soluble in ethanol, and freely soluble in acetone. each gram of zoryve contains 3 mg of roflumilast in a cream base containing ceteareth-10 phosphate, cetearyl phosphate, cetostearyl alcohol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, hexylene glycol, isopropyl palmitate, methylparaben, propylparaben, purified water, sodium hydroxide, and white petrolatum. hydrochloric acid may have been added to adjust ph. chemical structure

Clinical Pharmacology:

12 clinical pharmacology 12.1 mechanism of action roflumilast and its active metabolite (roflumilast n-oxide) are inhibitors of pde4. roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide inhibition of pde4 (a major cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic amp) metabolizing enzyme) activity leads to accumulation of intracellular cyclic amp. the specific mechanism(s) by which roflumilast exerts its therapeutic action is not well defined. 12.2 pharmacodynamics pharmacodynamics of zoryve in the treatment of plaque psoriasis is unknown. 12.3 pharmacokinetics absorption the pharmacokinetics of zoryve was investigated in 18 adult and 6 adolescent (13 to 16 years of age) subjects with plaque psoriasis and a mean ± sd body surface area (bsa) involvement of 26.8 ± 6.80% and 13.0 ± 3.58% in adults and adolescents, respectively. in this study, on average, subjects applied 3 to 6.5 g of zoryve once daily for 15 days. plasma concentrations of roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide (see metabolism ) were qu
antifiable in all but two subjects at day 15. following application of zoryve, the plasma concentration versus time profile was relatively flat, generally with a peak-to-trough ratio less than 2. in adults, the mean ± sd systemic exposure (auc 0-24 ) was 72.7 ± 53.1 and 628 ± 648 h∙ng/ml for roflumilast and the n-oxide metabolite, respectively. in adolescents, the mean ± sd auc 0-24 was 25.1 ± 24.0 and 140 ± 179 h∙ng/ml for roflumilast and the n-oxide metabolite, respectively. distribution plasma protein binding of roflumilast and its n-oxide metabolite is approximately 99% and 97%, respectively. metabolism roflumilast is extensively metabolized via phase i (cytochrome p450) and phase ii (conjugation) reactions. the n-oxide metabolite is the only major metabolite observed in the plasma of humans. following oral administration, roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide account for the majority (87.5%) of total dose administered in plasma. roflumilast was not detectable in urine, while roflumilast n-oxide was only a trace metabolite (less than 1%). other conjugated metabolites such as roflumilast n-oxide glucuronide and 4-amino-3,5-dichloropyridine n-oxide were detected in urine. while roflumilast is three times more potent than roflumilast n-oxide at inhibition of the pde4 enzyme in vitro , the plasma auc of roflumilast n-oxide on average is approximately 8-fold greater than the plasma auc of roflumilast following topical administration. a similar ratio was observed following intravenous administration, whereas following oral administration the n-oxide metabolite circulated on average about 10-fold higher than the parent. elimination the plasma clearance after short-term intravenous infusion of roflumilast is on average about 9.6 l/h. following topical administration, the half-lives of roflumilast and the n-oxide metabolite were 4.0 and 4.6 days, respectively. hepatic impairment no studies were conducted with topical roflumilast in subjects with hepatic impairment; however, oral roflumilast 250 mcg once daily for 14 days was studied in subjects with mild to moderate hepatic impairment classified as child-pugh a and b (8 subjects in each group). the auc of roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide were increased by 51% and 24%, respectively, in child-pugh a subjects and by 92% and 41%, respectively, in child-pugh b subjects, as compared to age-, weight-, and gender-matched healthy subjects. the c max of roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide were increased by 3% and 26%, respectively, in child-pugh a subjects and by 26% and 40%, respectively, in child-pugh b subjects, as compared to healthy subjects. oral roflumilast 500 mcg has not been studied in hepatically impaired patients. zoryve is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe liver impairment (child-pugh b or c) [see contraindications (4) ] . renal impairment no studies were conducted with topical roflumilast in subjects with renal impairment. in 12 subjects with severe renal impairment no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide were observed following oral administration. special populations following topical administration, no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide were observed based on age (12 to 88 years), sex, race, or ethnicity. drug interactions clinical studies since a major step in roflumilast metabolism is the n-oxidation of roflumilast to roflumilast n-oxide by cyp3a4 and cyp1a2, drug interaction studies were performed with oral roflumilast and systemic inhibitors of cyp3a4 and cyp1a2. erythromycin: in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy volunteers, the coadministration of cyp3a4 inhibitor erythromycin (500 mg three times daily for 13 days) with a single oral dose of 500 mcg roflumilast resulted in 40% and 70% increase in c max and auc for roflumilast, respectively, and a 34% decrease and a 4% increase in c max and auc for roflumilast n-oxide, respectively. ketoconazole: in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy volunteers, the coadministration of a strong cyp3a4 inhibitor ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily for 13 days) with a single oral dose of 500 mcg roflumilast resulted in 23% and 99% increase in c max and auc for roflumilast, respectively, and a 38% reduction and 3% increase in c max and auc for roflumilast n-oxide, respectively. fluvoxamine: in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy volunteers, the coadministration of dual cyp 3a4/1a2 inhibitor fluvoxamine (50 mg daily for 14 days) with a single oral dose of 500 mcg roflumilast showed a 12% and 156% increase in roflumilast c max and auc along with a 210% decrease and 52% increase in roflumilast n-oxide c max and auc, respectively. enoxacin: in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy volunteers, the coadministration of dual cyp 3a4/1a2 inhibitor enoxacin (400 mg twice daily for 12 days) with a single oral dose of 500 mcg roflumilast resulted in an increased c max and auc of roflumilast by 20% and 56%, respectively. roflumilast n-oxide c max was decreased by 14% while roflumilast n-oxide auc was increased by 23%. cimetidine: in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy volunteers, the coadministration of a dual cyp 3a4/1a2 inhibitor cimetidine (400 mg twice daily for 7 days) with a single dose of 500 mcg oral roflumilast resulted in a 46% and 85% increase in roflumilast c max and auc; and a 4% decrease in c max and 27% increase in auc for roflumilast n-oxide, respectively. oral contraceptives containing gestodene and ethinyl estradiol: in an open-label crossover study in 20 healthy adult volunteers, coadministration of a single oral dose of roflumilast with repeated doses of a fixed combination oral contraceptive containing 0.075 mg gestodene and 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol to steady state caused a 38% increase and 12% decrease in c max of roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide, respectively. roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide aucs were increased by 51% and 14%, respectively. in vitro studies cytochrome p450 (cyp) enzymes: in vitro studies suggest that the biotransformation of roflumilast to its n-oxide metabolite is mediated by cyp1a2 and 3a4. based on further in vitro results in human liver microsomes, therapeutic plasma concentrations of roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide do not inhibit cyp1a2, 2a6, 2b6, 2c8, 2c9, 2c19, 2d6, 2e1, 3a4/5, or 4a9/11; therefore, there is a low probability of relevant interactions with substances metabolized by these p450 enzymes. in addition, in vitro studies demonstrated no induction of the cyp1a2, 2a6, 2c9, 2c19, or 3a4/5 and only a weak induction of cyp2b6 by roflumilast.

Mechanism of Action:

12.1 mechanism of action roflumilast and its active metabolite (roflumilast n-oxide) are inhibitors of pde4. roflumilast and roflumilast n-oxide inhibition of pde4 (a major cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic amp) metabolizing enzyme) activity leads to accumulation of intracellular cyclic amp. the specific mechanism(s) by which roflumilast exerts its therapeutic action is not well defined.

Nonclinical Toxicology:

13 nonclinical toxicology 13.1 carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility long-term studies were conducted in hamsters and mice with roflumilast to evaluate its carcinogenic potential. in 2-year oral gavage carcinogenicity studies, roflumilast treatment resulted in dose-related, statistically significant increases in the incidence of undifferentiated carcinomas of nasal epithelium in hamsters at doses greater than or equal to 8 mg/kg/day (6 times the mrhd on an auc basis). the tumorigenicity of roflumilast appears to be attributed to a reactive metabolite of 4-amino-3,5-dichloropyridine n - oxide (adcp n-oxide). no evidence of tumorigenicity was observed in mice at roflumilast oral doses up to 12 and 18 mg/kg/day in females and males, respectively (6 and 8 times the mrhd, respectively, on an auc basis). in a 2-year dermal mouse carcinogenicity study, no evidence of carcinogenicity was observed at topical doses of roflumilast cream up to 1% applied at 2 ml/kg/day (2 times the
mrhd on an auc basis). roflumilast tested positive in an in vivo mouse micronucleus test, but negative in the following assays: the ames test, an in vitro chromosome aberration assay in human lymphocytes, an in vitro hprt assay with v79 cells, an in vitro micronucleus test with v79 cells, a dna adduct formation assay in rat nasal mucosa, liver and testes, and an in vivo mouse bone marrow chromosome aberration assay. roflumilast n-oxide was negative in the ames test and an in vitro micronucleus test with v79 cells. in a human spermatogenesis study, oral roflumilast 500 mcg had no effects on semen parameters or reproductive hormones during the 3-month treatment period and the following 3-month off-treatment period. in a fertility study, oral roflumilast decreased fertility rates in male rats at 1.8 mg/kg/day (9 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). the male rats also showed increases in the incidence of tubular atrophy, degeneration in the testis, and spermiogenic granuloma in the epididymides. no effect on rat fertility rate or male reproductive organ morphology was observed at 0.6 mg/kg/day (3 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis). in a female fertility study, no effect on fertility was observed up to the highest roflumilast dose of 1.5 mg/kg/day in rats (7 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis).
