Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer mLPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.

ℹ️
No price is published for this exact package yet. CMS surveys NADAC per package size, so a different pack of the same drug often has one.
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

🚨 Boxed Warning ~3 min read ▾

WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS, MORTALITY, MALIGNANCY, MAJOR ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS, and THROMBOSIS SERIOUS INFECTIONS Patients treated with tofacitinib oral solution are at increased risk for developing serious bacterial, fungal, viral, and opportunistic infections, including tuberculosis (TB), that may lead to hospitalization or death [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Most patients who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids.

Reported infections included: Active TB, which may present with pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease. Patients should be tested for latent TB before tofacitinib oral solution use and during therapy. Treatment for latent infection should be initiated prior to tofacitinib oral solution use.

Invasive fungal infections, including cryptococcosis and pneumocystosis. Patients with invasive fungal infections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease. Bacterial, viral, including herpes zoster, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens.

The risks and benefits of tofacitinib oral solution treatment should be carefully considered prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infection. Patients should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after tofacitinib oral solution treatment, including the possible development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB infection prior to initiating therapy. If a serious infection develops, interrupt tofacitinib oral solution until the infection is controlled [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .

MORTALITY In a large, randomized, postmarketing safety study in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular (CV) risk factor comparing XELJANZ tablets 5 mg or 10 mg twice a day to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers, a higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden CV death, was observed with XELJANZ tablets 5 mg or 10 mg twice a day [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . A tofacitinib oral solution 10 mg twice daily dosage is not recommended for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or polyarticular course juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pcJIA) [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] .

MALIGNANCIES Malignancies, including lymphomas and solid tumors, have occurred in patients treated with XELJANZ tablets and other Janus kinase inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. In RA patients, a higher rate of malignancies (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)) was observed in patients treated with XELJANZ tablets 5 mg or 10 mg twice a day compared with TNF blockers [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Lymphomas and lung cancers were observed at a higher rate in patients treated with XELJANZ tablets 5 mg or 10 mg twice a day in RA patients compared to those treated with TNF blockers.

Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk. MAJOR ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor, treated with XELJANZ tablets 5 mg or 10 mg twice daily, had a higher rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke), compared to those treated with TNF blockers. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk.

Discontinue tofacitinib oral solution in patients that have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] . THROMBOSIS Thrombosis, including pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, and arterial thrombosis have occurred in patients treated with XELJANZ tablets and other Janus kinase inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. Many of these events were serious and some resulted in death.

RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor treated with XELJ… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

( 5. 10)

5.1Serious Infections Serious and sometimes fatal infections may occur with tofacitinib oral solution. Serious and sometimes fatal infections due to bacterial, mycobacterial, invasive fungal, viral, or other opportunistic pathogens have been reported in patients receiving tofacitinib. The most common serious infections reported with tofacitinib included pneumonia, urinary tract infection, cellulitis, herpes zoster, bronchitis, septic shock, diverticulitis, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, and sepsis.

Among opportunistic infections, tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, esophageal candidiasis, pneumocystosis, multi−dermatomal herpes zoster, cytomegalovirus infections, BK virus infection, and listeriosis were reported with tofacitinib. Some patients have presented with disseminated rather than localized disease, and were often taking concomitant immunomodulating agents such as methotrexate or corticosteroids. Other serious infections that were not reported in clinical studies may also occur (e.g., coccidioidomycosis).

Avoid use of tofacitinib oral solution in patients with an active, serious infection, including localized infections. The risks and benefits of treatment should be considered prior to initiating tofacitinib oral solution in patients: with chronic or recurrent infection who have been exposed to tuberculosis with a history of a serious or an opportunistic infection who have resided or traveled in areas of endemic tuberculosis or endemic mycoses; or with underlying conditions that may predispose them to infection. Closely monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with tofacitinib oral solution.

Interrupt tofacitinib oral solution if a patient develops a serious infection, an opportunistic infection, or sepsis. In patients who develop a new infection during treatment with tofacitinib oral solution, promptly complete diagnostic testing appropriate for an immunocompromised patient; initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy, and monitor the patients closely. Caution is also recommended in patients with a history of chronic lung disease, or in those who develop interstitial lung disease, as they may be more prone to infections.

Risk of infection may be higher with increasing degrees of lymphopenia and consideration should be given to lymphocyte counts when assessing individual patient risk of infection. Discontinuation and monitoring criteria for lymphopenia are recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. Tuberculosis Evaluate and test patients for latent or active tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to and per applicable guidelines during administration of tofacitinib oral solution.

Consider anti-TB therapy prior to administration of tofacitinib oral solution in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with a negative test for latent TB but who have risk factors for TB infection. Consultation with a physician with expertise in the treatment of TB is recommended to aid in the decision about whether initiating anti-TB therapy is appropriate for an individual patient. Monitor patients close… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🤒 Adverse Reactions ~3 min read ▾

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Serious Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Increased Risk of Mortality [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Malignancy and Lymphoproliferative Disorders [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Gastrointestinal Perforations [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Hypoglycemia in Patients with Diabetes [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)] Laboratory Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] Most common adverse reactions are: PsA: Reported in ≥2% of adult patients treated with XELJANZ tablets monotherapy or in combination with DMARDs: upper respiratory tract infection (URI), nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, and headache.

( 6.1 ) PcJIA : Consistent with common adverse reactions reported in adult patients with RA. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc., at 1-800-818-4555 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not predict the rates observed in a broader patient population in clinical practice. The clinical studies described in this subsection were conducted using XELJANZ tablets (referred to as “XELJANZ tablets” in this subsection of labeling) and/or tofacitinib oral solution.

Adverse Reactions in Adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis In RA Safety Study 1, 1,455 adults were treated with XELJANZ tablets 5 mg twice daily, 1,456 adults were treated with 10 mg twice daily, and 1,451 adults were treated with a TNF blocker for a median of 4 years [see Clinical Studies (14.6) ] . The safety of XELJANZ tablets was also evaluated in two Phase 2 and five Phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trials in patients with RA. In these trials, adults were randomized to receive: XELJANZ tablets (monotherapy) 5 mg twice daily (292 patients) or 10 mg twice daily (306 patients), In combination with DMARDs (including methotrexate), XELJANZ tablets 5 mg twice daily (1,044 patients) or 10 mg twice daily (1,043 patients and Placebo (809 patients).

All seven trials included provisions for patients taking placebo to receive treatment with XELJANZ tablets at Month 3 or Month 6 either by patient response (based on uncontrolled disease activity) or by design, so that adverse events cannot always be unambiguously attributed to a given treatment. Therefore, some analyses that follow include patients who changed treatment by design or by patient response from placebo to XELJANZ tablets in both the placebo and XELJANZ tablets group of a given interval. Comparisons between placebo and XELJANZ tablets groups were based on the first 3 months of exposure, and comparisons between XELJANZ tablets 5 mg twice daily and XELJANZ tablets 10 mg twice daily were based on the first 12 months of exposure.

The long-term safety population includes all adults with RA who participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (including earlier development phase studies) and then participated in one of two long-term safety studies.

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary The available data with XELJANZ Tablets/tofacitinib oral solution and XELJANZ XR (extended-release tablets) from a pregnancy exposure registry that enrolled 11 exposed pregnant females, pharmacovigilance, and published literature are insufficient to draw conclusions about a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and the fetus associated with RA and UC in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations) . In animal reproduction studies, fetocidal and teratogenic effects were noted when pregnant rats and rabbits received tofacitinib during the period of organogenesis at exposures multiples of 73-times and 6.3-times the maximum recommended dose of 10 mg twice daily, respectively.

Further, in a peri- and post-natal study in rats, tofacitinib resulted in reductions in live litter size, postnatal survival, and pup body weights at exposure multiples of approximately 73-times the recommended dosage of 5 mg twice daily and approximately 36 times the maximum recommended dosage of 10 mg twice daily, respectively (see Data) . The background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.

The background risks in the U.S. general population of major birth defects and miscarriages are 2 to 4% and 15 to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk: Published data suggest that increased disease activity is associated with the risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with RA or UC. Adverse pregnancy outcomes include preterm delivery (before 37 weeks of gestation), low birth weight (less than 2,500 grams) infants, and small for gestational age at birth.

Data Animal In a rat embryofetal developmental study, in which pregnant rats received tofacitinib during organogenesis, tofacitinib was teratogenic at exposure levels approximately 146 times the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 73 times the maximum recommended dose of 10 mg twice daily (on an AUC basis at oral doses of 100 mg/kg/day in rats). Teratogenic effects consisted of external and soft tissue malformations of anasarca and membranous ventricular septal defects, respectively; and skeletal malformations or variations (absent cervical arch; bent femur, fibula, humerus, radius, scapula, tibia, and ulna; sternoschisis; absent rib; misshapen femur; branched rib; fused rib; fused sternebra; and hemicentric thoracic centrum).

In addition, there was an increase in post-implantation loss, consisting of early and late resorptions, resulting in a reduced number of viable fetuses. Mean fetal body weight was reduced. No developmental toxicity was observed in rats at exposure levels approximately 58 times the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 29 times the maximum recommended dose of 10 mg twice daily (on an AUC basis at oral doses of 30 mg/kg/day in pregnant rats).

In a rabbit embryofetal developmental study in which pregnant rabbits received tofacitinib during the period of organogenesis, tofacitinib was teratogenic at exposure levels approximately 13 times the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 6.3 times the maximum recommended dose of 10 mg twice daily (on an AUC basis at oral doses of 30 mg/kg/day in rabbits) in the absence of signs of maternal toxicity. Teratogenic effects included thoracogastroschisis, omphalocele, membranous ventricular septal defects, and cranial/skeletal malformations (microstomia, microphthalmia), mid-line and tail defects.

In addition, there was an increase in post-implantation loss associated with late resorptions. No developmental toxicity was observed in rabbits at exposure levels approximately 3 ti… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

8.5Geriatric Use Of the 3,315 adults who were enrolled in clinical trials with RA, a total of 505 patients were 65 years of age and older, including 71 patients 75 years and older. The frequency of serious infection among XELJANZ tablets-treated patients 65 years of age and older was higher than among those adults under the age of 65. Of the 783 XELJANZ tablet-treated patients in clinical trials of patients with PsA, a total of 72 (9.2%) patients were 65 years of age and older, including 2 (0.3%) patients 75 years and older.

These clinical studies did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and older with PsA to determine if they respond differently from younger adult patients.

🆘 Overdosage 122 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE There is no specific antidote for overdose with tofacitinib oral solution. In case of an overdose, it is recommended that the patient be monitored for signs and symptoms of adverse reactions. In a study in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis, plasma tofacitinib concentrations declined more rapidly during the period of hemodialysis and dialyzer efficiency, calculated as dialyzer clearance/blood flow entering the dialyzer, was high [mean (SD) = 0.73 (0.15)].

However, due to the significant non-renal clearance of tofacitinib, the fraction of total elimination occurring by hemodialysis was small, and thus, limits the value of hemodialysis for treatment of overdose with tofacitinib. Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Tofacitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. JAKs are intracellular enzymes which transmit signals arising from cytokine or growth factor-receptor interactions on the cellular membrane to influence cellular processes of hematopoiesis and immune cell function. Within the signaling pathway, JAKs phosphorylate and activate Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STATs) which modulate intracellular activity including gene expression.

Tofacitinib modulates the signaling pathway at the point of JAKs, preventing the phosphorylation and activation of STATs. JAK enzymes transmit cytokine signaling through pairing of JAKs (e.g., JAK1/JAK3, JAK1/JAK2, JAK1/TyK2, JAK2/JAK2). Tofacitinib inhibited the in vitro activities of JAK1/JAK2, JAK1/JAK3, and JAK2/JAK2 combinations with IC50 of 406, 56, and 1377 nM, respectively.

However, the relevance of specific JAK combinations to therapeutic effectiveness is not known.

12.2Pharmacodynamics Treatment with tofacitinib was associated with dose-dependent reductions of circulating CD16/56+ natural killer cells, with estimated maximum reductions occurring at approximately 8 to 10 weeks after initiation of therapy. These changes generally resolved within 2 to 6 weeks after discontinuation of treatment. Treatment with tofacitinib was associated with dose-dependent increases in B cell counts.

Changes in circulating T-lymphocyte counts and T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+) were small and inconsistent. The clinical significance of these changes is unknown. Total serum IgG, IgM, and IgA levels after 6-month dosing in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were lower than in patients who received placebo; however, changes were small and not dose-dependent.

After treatment with tofacitinib in patients with RA, rapid decreases in serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were observed and maintained throughout dosing. Changes in CRP observed with tofacitinib treatment do not reverse fully within 2 weeks after discontinuation, indicating a longer duration of pharmacodynamic activity compared to the pharmacokinetic half-life. Similar changes in T cells, B cells, and serum CRP have been observed in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) although reversibility was not assessed.

Total serum immunoglobulins were not assessed in patients with active PsA.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Following oral administration of XELJANZ tablets and tofacitinib oral solution, peak plasma concentrations were reached within 0.5 hour to 1 hour, elimination half-life was about 3 hours and a dose-proportional increase in systemic exposure was observed in the therapeutic dosage range. Steady state concentrations were achieved in 24 to 48 hours with negligible accumulation after twice daily administration. Absorption Tofacitinib The absolute oral bioavailability of tofacitinib is 74%.

Coadministration of tofacitinib with a high-fat meal resulted in no changes in AUC while C max was reduced by 32%. In clinical trials, tofacitinib was administered without regard to meals [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Distribution After intravenous administration, the volume of distribution was 87 L.

The protein binding of tofacitinib is approximately 40%. Tofacitinib binds predominantly to albumin and does not appear to bind to a1-acid glycoprotein. Tofacitinib distributes equally between red blood cells and plasma.

Metabolism and Excretion Clearance mechanisms for tofacitinib are approximately 70% hepatic metabolism and 30% renal excretion of the parent drug. The metabolism of tofacitinib is primarily mediated by CYP3A4 with minor contribution from CYP2C19. In a human radiolabeled study, more than 65% of the total circulating radioactivity was accounted for by unchanged tofacitinib, with the remaining 35% attributed to 8 metabolites, each accounting for less than 8% of total radioactivity.

Medication Guide MEDICATION GUIDE Tofacitinib (toe-fa-sye-ti-nib) Oral Solution What is the most important information I should know about tofacitinib oral solution? Tofacitinib oral solution may cause serious side effects including: 1. Serious infections.

Tofacitinib oral solution is a medicine that affect your immune system. Tofacitinib oral solution can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. Some people can have serious infections while taking tofacitinib oral solution, including tuberculosis (TB), and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that can spread throughout the body.

Some people have died from these infections. Your healthcare provider should test you for TB before starting tofacitinib oral solution and during treatment. Your healthcare provider should monitor you closely for signs and symptoms of TB infection during treatment with tofacitinib oral solution.

You should not start taking tofacitinib oral solution if you have any kind of infection unless your healthcare provider tells you it is okay. You may be at a higher risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster). Before starting tofacitinib oral solution, tell your healthcare provider if you: think you have an infection or have symptoms of an infection such as: fever, sweating, or chills muscle aches cough shortness of breath blood in phlegm weight loss warm, red, or painful skin or sores on your body diarrhea or stomach pain burning when you urinate or urinating feeling very tired more often than normal are being treated for an infection. get a lot of infections or have infections that keep coming back. have diabetes, chronic lung disease, HIV, or a weak immune system.

People with these conditions have a higher chance for infections. have TB, or have been in close contact with someone with TB. live or have lived, or have traveled to certain parts of the country (such as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and the Southwest) where there is an increased chance for getting certain kinds of fungal infections (histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis). These infections may happen or become more severe if you take tofacitinib oral solution. Ask your healthcare provider if you do not know if you have lived in an area where these infections are common. have or have had hepatitis B or C.

After starting tofacitinib oral solution, call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of an infection. Tofacitinib oral solution can make you more likely to get infections or make worse any infection that you have. 2.

Increased risk of death in people 50 years of age and older who have at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor and are taking XELJANZ 5 mg or 10 mg twice daily. 3. Cancer and immune system problems.

Tofacitinib oral solution may increase your risk of certain cancers by changing the way your immune system works. Lymphoma and other cancers including skin cancers can happen in people taking tofacitinib oral solution. People taking XELJANZ 5 mg twice daily or XELJANZ 10 mg twice daily have a higher risk of certain cancers including lymphoma and lung cancer, especially if you are a current or past smoker.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had any type of cancer. 4.

The pharmacologic activity of tofacitinib is attributed to the parent molecule. Pharmacokinetics in Patients with RA, PsA, AS, and UC Population pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses indicated that PK characteristics were similar between patients with RA, PsA, ankylosing spondylitis, and UC. The coefficient of variation (%) in AUC of tofacitinib were generally similar across different disease patients, ranging from 22% to 34%.

Specific Populations Covariate evaluation as part of population PK analyses in adult patient populations indicated no clinically relevant change in tofacitinib exposure, after accounting for differences in renal function (i.e., creatinine clearance) between patients, based on age, weight, biological sex and race (Figure 1). An approximately linear relationship between body weight and volume of distribution was observed, resulting in higher peak (C max ) and lower trough (C min ) concentrations in lighter patients. However, this difference is not considered to be clinically relevant.

Covariate evaluation as part of population PK analyses in pediatric patients with pcJIA, including PsA, identified body weight significantly impacting tofacitinib exposure, which supports weight-based dosing in this population. There were no identified clinically significant differences in tofacitinib exposure with different age, biological sex, racial, or pcJIA or PsA disease severity groups. The effect of renal and hepatic impairment and other intrinsic factors on the PK of tofacitinib is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Impact of Intrinsic Factors on Tofacitinib Pharmacokinetics Note: Reference values for weight, age, biological sex, and race comparisons are 70 kg, 55 years, male, and white, respectively; reference groups for renal and hepatic impairment data are patients with normal renal and hepatic function. Renal function was estimated using creatinine clearance by Cockcroft-Gault method and hepatic function was estimated using Child-Pugh scoring method. In patients with end-stage renal disease maintained on hemodialysis, mean AUC was approximately 40% higher compared with historical healthy subject data, consistent with approximately 30% contribution of renal clearance to the total clearance of tofacitinib [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] .

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

14.2Clinical Studies in Psoriatic Arthritis The psoriatic arthritis (PsA) clinical development program with XELJANZ tablets (referred to as “XELJANZ tablets” in this subsection of labeling) included 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in 816 adults with active PsA (Studies PsA-I and PsA-II). Trial Designs and Population All patients had active PsA for at least 6 months based upon the Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR), at least 3 tender/painful joints and at least 3 swollen joints, and active plaque psoriasis.

Patients randomized and treated across the 2 clinical trials represented different PsA subtypes at screening, including <5 joints or asymmetric involvement (21%), ≥5 joints involved (90%), distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint involvement (61%), arthritis mutilans (8%), and spondylitis (19%). Patients in these clinical trials had a diagnosis of PsA for a mean (SD) of 7.7 (7.2) years. At baseline, 80% and 53% of patients had enthesitis and dactylitis, respectively.

At baseline, all patients were required to receive treatment with a stable dose of a nonbiologic DMARD (79% received methotrexate, 13% received sulfasalazine, 7% received leflunomide, 1% received other nonbiologic DMARDs). In both clinical trials, the primary endpoints were the ACR20 response and the change from baseline in HAQ-DI at Month 3. Study PsA-I was a 12-month clinical trial in 422 patients who had an inadequate response to a nonbiologic DMARD (67% and 33% were inadequate responders to 1 nonbiologic DMARD and ≥2 nonbiologic DMARDs, respectively) and who were naïve to treatment with a TNF blocker.

Although Study PsA-1 included patients who are TNF blocker ­naïve, tofacitinib oral solution is not approved for use in TNF blocker-naïve patients [see Indications and Usage (1.2) ]. Patients were randomized in a 2:2:2:1:1 ratio to receive XELJANZ tablets 5 mg twice daily, XELJANZ tablets 10 mg twice daily, adalimumab 40 mg subcutaneously once every 2 weeks, placebo to XELJANZ tablets 5 mg twice daily treatment sequence, or placebo to XELJANZ tablets 10 mg twice daily treatment sequence, respectively; study drug was added to background nonbiologic DMARD treatment.

At the Month 3 visit, all patients randomized to placebo treatment were switched in a blinded fashion to a predetermined XELJANZ tablets dosage of 5 mg or 10 mg twice daily. Study PsA-I was not designed to demonstrate non-inferiority or superiority to adalimumab. Study PsA-II was a 6-month clinical trial in 394 patients who had an inadequate response to at least 1 approved TNF blocker (66%, 19%, and 15% were inadequate responders to 1 TNF blocker, 2 TNF blockers and ≥3 TNF blockers, respectively).

Patients were randomized in a 2:2:1:1 ratio to receive XELJANZ tablets 5 mg twice daily, XELJANZ tablets 10 mg twice daily, placebo to XELJANZ tablets 5 mg twice daily treatment sequence, or placebo to XELJANZ tablets 10 mg twice daily treatment sequence, respectively; study drug was added to background nonbiologic DMARD treatment. At the Month 3 visit, placebo patients were switched in a blinded fashion to a predetermined XELJANZ tablets dosage of 5 mg or 10 mg twice daily as in Study PsA-I. Although other dosages have been studied, the recommended dosage of tofacitinib oral solution is 5 mg twice daily.

A tofacitinib oral solution 10 mg twice daily dosage is not recommended for treatment of PsA. Clinical Response At Month 3, patients treated with XELJANZ tablets 5 mg twice daily had higher (p≤ 0.05) response rates versus placebo for ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 in Study PsA-I and for ACR20 and ACR50 in Study PsA-II; ACR70 response rates were also higher for XELJANZ tablets 5 mg twice daily versus placebo in Study PsA-II, although the differences versus placebo were not statistically significant (p> 0.05) (Tables 14 and 15).

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility In a 39-week toxicology study in monkeys, tofacitinib at exposure levels approximately 6 times the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 3 times the 10 mg twice daily dose (on an AUC basis at oral doses of 5 mg/kg twice daily) produced lymphomas. No lymphomas were observed in this study at exposure levels 1 times the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 0.5 times the 10 mg twice daily dose (on an AUC basis at oral doses of 1 mg/kg twice daily).

The carcinogenic potential of tofacitinib was assessed in 6-month rasH2 transgenic mouse carcinogenicity and 2-year rat carcinogenicity studies. Tofacitinib, at exposure levels approximately 34 times the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 17 times the 10 mg twice daily dose (on an AUC basis at oral doses of 200 mg/kg/day) was not carcinogenic in mice. In the 24-month oral carcinogenicity study in Sprague-Dawley rats, tofacitinib caused benign Leydig cell tumors, hibernomas (malignancy of brown adipose tissue), and benign thymomas at doses greater than or equal to 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 42 times the exposure levels at the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 21 times the 10 mg twice daily dose on an AUC basis).

The relevance of benign Leydig cell tumors to human risk is not known. Tofacitinib was not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay. It was positive for clastogenicity in the in vitro chromosome aberration assay with human lymphocytes in the presence of metabolic enzymes, but negative in the absence of metabolic enzymes.

Tofacitinib was negative in the in vivo rat micronucleus assay and in the in vitro CHO-HGPRT assay and the in vivo rat hepatocyte unscheduled DNA synthesis assay. In rats, tofacitinib at exposure levels approximately 17 times the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 8.3 times the 10 mg twice daily dose (on an AUC basis at oral doses of 10 mg/kg/day) reduced female fertility due to increased post-implantation loss. There was no impairment of female rat fertility at exposure levels of tofacitinib equal to the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 0.5 times the 10 mg twice daily dose (on an AUC basis at oral doses of 1 mg/kg/day).

Tofacitinib exposure levels at approximately 133 times the recommended dose of 5 mg twice daily, and approximately 67 times the 10 mg twice daily dose (on an AUC basis at oral doses of 100 mg/kg/day) had no effect on male fertility, sperm motility, or sperm concentration.

Instructions for Use INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Tofacitinib (toe-fa-sye-ti-nib) Oral Solution Read this Instructions for Use before you start taking tofacitinib oral solution and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.

Important information about measuring tofacitinib oral solution: Always use the oral dosing syringe that comes with tofacitinib oral solution to measure and take your prescribed dose. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist to show you how to measure your prescribed dose if you are not sure. How should I store tofacitinib oral solution?

Store tofacitinib oral solution at room temperature, 20º to 25ºC (68º to 77ºF); excursions permitted to 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F). Always store tofacitinib oral solution in the original bottle and carton to protect from light. Keep tofacitinib and all medicines out of the reach of children.

Use tofacitinib oral solution within 60 days of opening the bottle. Throw away (discard) remaining tofacitinib oral solution after 60 days. To help you remember when to throw away your bottle of tofacitinib oral solution, you can write the date when you first start to use it on the carton and below: Date of first use ____ / ____ / ____.

Before each use: Wash your hands with soap and water and place the items from the carton on a clean, flat surface. Each carton of tofacitinib oral solution contains: 1 press-in bottle adapter 1 bottle of tofacitinib oral solution 1 oral dosing syringe Step 1. Remove bottle from carton Open the carton and remove the bottle of tofacitinib oral solution.

Step 2. Open bottle Open the bottle by pushing down on the child-resistant cap and turning it to the left (counter-clockwise) as shown. Remove the seal off the top of the bottle (first time only).

Do not throw away the child-resistant cap. Note: The bottle does not need to be shaken before use. Step 3.

Insert press-in bottle adapter (first time only) Remove the press-in bottle adapter and oral dosing syringe from the plastic overwrap. With the bottle on a flat surface, push the ribbed end of the press-in bottle adapter all the way into the neck of the bottle with your thumbs while holding the bottle firmly. Note: Do not remove the press-in bottle adapter from the bottle after it is inserted.

Step 4. Remove air from oral dosing syringe Push the oral dosing syringe plunger all the way down to the tip of the syringe barrel to remove excess air. Step 5.

Insert the oral dosing syringe Insert the oral dosing syringe tip into the upright bottle through the opening of the press-in bottle adapter until it is firmly in place. Step 6. Withdraw dose from bottle With the oral dosing syringe in place, turn the bottle upside down.

Pull down on the plunger until the bottom of the plunger is even with the markings on the oral dosing syringe for your prescribed dose of oral solution. If you see air bubbles in the oral dosing syringe, fully push the plunger in so that the oral solution flows back into the bottle. Then withdraw your prescribed dose of oral solution.

Step 7. Remove oral dosing syringe Turn the bottle upright and place the bottle on a flat surface. Remove the oral dosing syringe from the press-in bottle adapter and bottle by pulling straight up on the oral dosing syringe barrel.

Step 8. Check the dose Check that the correct dose was drawn up into the oral dosing syringe. If the dose is not correct, insert the oral dosing syringe tip firmly into the press-in bottle adapter.

Fully push in the plunger so that the oral solution flows back into the bottle. Repeat Step 6 and Step 7. Step 9.

Take the dose of tofacitinib oral solution Place the tip of the oral dosing syringe into the inside of the cheek. Slowly push the plunger all the way down to give all of the medicine in the oral dosing syringe. Make sure there is time to swallow the medicine.

Step 10. Close the bottle Close the bottle tight… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
