6.1Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in 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. The adverse reaction information from clinical trials does, however, provide a basis for identifying the adverse reactions that appear to be related to drug use and estimating their relative rates. During a controlled clinical trial conducted in the United States, patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis were treated with Terconazole Vaginal Cream, 0.8% for 3 days (n=231) or Terazol®3 for 3 days (n=229) [see Clinical Studies (14)].
Table 1 lists the adverse reactions occurring in ≥2% of patients receiving Terconazole Vaginal Cream in the trial. The therapy-related discontinuation rate was 2.0% for Terconazole Vaginal Cream. The adverse reaction most frequently causing discontinuation of Terconazole Vaginal Cream therapy was vulvovaginal itching (0.7%).

Photosensitivity reactions were not observed in U.S. and foreign clinical trials in patients who were treated with other terconazole formulations (i.e., terconazole suppositories or vaginal cream, 0.8%).

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on Terconazole Vaginal Cream use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Available data from observational studies with terconazole use in pregnancy are insufficient to identify a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies with oral terconazole, no adverse development effects were observed at clinically relevant systemic exposures (see Data).
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. 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 There was no evidence of malformations when terconazole was administered orally in rats, or rabbits. There was a delay in fetal ossification at an oral dose of 10 mg/kg/day in rats. Higher doses resulted in decreased litter size, decreased number of viable young and reduced fetal weight in rats.
There was also a delay in ossification and an increase incidence of skeletal variants. The dose of 10 mg/kg/day resulted in a mean peak plasma level of terconazole in pregnant rats of 0.176 mcg/mL which exceeds by 30 times the mean peak plasma level (0.006 mcg/mL) seen in normal subjects after intravaginal administration of terconazole vaginal cream 0.8%. This safety assessment does not account for possible exposure of the fetus through direct transfer to terconazole from the irritated vagina by diffusion across amniotic membranes.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of terconazole in human milk, the effect on the breast-fed infant or on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Terconazole Vaginal Cream and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed infant from Terconazole Vaginal Cream or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Terconazole Vaginal Cream have not been established in female pediatric patients for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis.
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of Terconazole Vaginal Cream did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Terconazole is an antifungal agent [see Microbiology ( 12.4 )] .
12.3Pharmacokinetics Following intravaginal administration of Terconazole Vaginal Cream, 0.8% in adult females, absorption ranged from 5-8% in three hysterectomized subjects and 12-16% in two non-hysterectomized subjects with tubal ligations. Following daily intravaginal administration of 0.8% terconazole 40 mg (0.8% cream x 5 g) for seven days to healthy female subjects, plasma concentrations were low and gradually rose to a daily peak (mean of 5.9 ng/mL or 0.006 mcg/mL) at 6.6 hours. Results from similar studies in female patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis indicate that the slow rate of absorption, the lack of accumulation, and the mean peak plasma concentration of terconazole was not different from that observed in healthy females.
The absorption characteristics of terconazole vaginal cream, 0.8% in pregnant or non-pregnant patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis were also similar to those found in healthy subjects. Following oral (30 mg) administration of 14 C-labelled terconazole, the mean half-life of elimination from the blood for the parent terconazole was 6.9 hours (range 4.0-11.3). Terconazole is extensively metabolized; the plasma AUC for terconazole compared to the AUC for total radioactivity was 0.6%.
Total radioactivity was eliminated from the blood with a mean elimination half-life of 52.2 hours (range 44-60). Excretion of radioactivity was both by renal (32-56%) and fecal (47- 52%) routes. In vitro , terconazole is highly protein bound (94.9%) and the degree of binding is independent of drug concentration.
12.4Microbiology Mechanism of Action Terconazole inhibits the enzyme cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase which leads to inhibition of ergosterol synthesis, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane Activity in vitro Terconazole exhibits fungicidal activity in vitro against Candida albicans . Drug Resistance Studies showed no development of resistance to terconazole during successive passages of C. albicans . However, the clinical significance of such an effect is not known.

🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of Terconazole Vaginal Cream, 0.8% in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis in adult women was evaluated in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled non-inferiority trial comparing Terconazole Vaginal Cream, 0.8% for 3 days (n=231) to another preparation of terconazole vaginal cream 0.8% active comparator for 3 days (n=229). The modified intent-to-treat population (randomized patients who received treatment and had a positive baseline culture for Candida) consisted of 140 Terconazole Vaginal Cream, 0.8% patients and 153 active comparator patients.
Therapeutic cure defined as clinical and mycological cure was assessed at Visit 3 (Day 21-30). Table 2 shows the therapeutic, clinical and mycological cure rates in this trial. The therapeutic cure rate at Visit 3 was 67.1% for the terconazole group and 52.3% for the active comparator group (95% confidence interval about the 14.8% difference in therapeutic cure rate: 3.0% to 26.6%).

Impairment of Fertility No impairment of fertility occurred when female rats were administered terconazole orally up to 40 mg/kg/day (about 10 times the recommended intravaginal human dose based on body surface area comparisons) for a three-month period.
