(6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-855-224-0233, or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the 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. Acute and Chronic Hyperammonemia due to NAGS Deficiency In a retrospective case series of 23 NAGS deficiency patients treated with Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension, 17 of the 23 patients reported an adverse reaction.
The most common adverse reactions (occurring in ≥ 13% of patients) were vomiting, abdominal pain, pyrexia, tonsillitis, anemia, diarrhea, ear infection, infections, nasopharyngitis, hemoglobin decreased, and headache. Table 1 summarizes adverse reactions occurring in 2 or more patients treated with Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension. Table 1: Adverse Reactions Reported in ≥ 2 Patients with NAGS deficiency Treated with Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension in the Retrospective Case Series Adverse Reaction Number of Patients (N) (%) Vomiting 6 (26) Abdominal pain 4 (17) Pyrexia 4 (17) Tonsillitis 4 (17) Anemia 3 (13) Diarrhea 3 (13) Ear infection 3 (13) Infections 3 (13) Nasopharyngitis 3 (13) Hemoglobin decreased 3 (13) Headache 3 (13) Dysgeusia 2 (9) Asthenia 2 (9) Hyperhidrosis 2 (9) Influenza 2 (9) Pneumonia 2 (9) Weight decreased 2 (9) Anorexia 2 (9) Somnolence 2 (9) Rash 2 (9)
6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Although rare case reports of Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes, untreated NAGS deficiency can result in irreversible neurologic damage and death in pregnant women [see Clinical Considerations]. In an animal reproduction study, decreased survival and growth occurred in offspring born to rats that received carglumic acid at a dose approximately 38 times the maximum reported human maintenance dose.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, miscarriage, 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.
Clinical Considerations Disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk Pregnant women with urea cycle disorders may experience an increase in catabolic stress which can trigger a hyperammonemic crisis both in the intrapartum and in the post-partum (3-14 days post-partum) periods. Maternal complications related to hyperammonemic crisis can include neurological impairment, coma and in some cases death. Data Animal Data No effects on embryo-fetal development were observed in pregnant rats treated with up to 2000 mg/kg/day (approximately 38 times the maximum reported human maintenance dose [100 mg/kg/day] based on AUC [area under the plasma concentration-time curve]) from two weeks prior to mating through organogenesis or in pregnant rabbits treated with up to 1000 mg/kg/day (approximately 6 times the maximum reported human maintenance dose [100 mg/kg/day] based on AUC) during organogenesis.
In a pre-and post-natal developmental study, female rats received oral carglumic acid from organogenesis through lactation at doses of 500 mg/kg/day and 2000 mg/kg/day. Decreased growth of offspring was observed at 500 mg/kg/day and higher (approximately 38 times the maximum reported human maintenance dose [100 mg/kg/day] based on AUC), and reduction in offspring survival during lactation was observed at 2000 mg/kg/day (approximately 38 times the maximum reported human maintenance dose [100 mg/kg/day] based on AUC).
No effects on physical and sexual development, learning and memory, or reproductive performance were observed through maturation of the surviving offspring at maternal doses up to 2000 mg/kg/day. The high dose (2000 mg/kg/day) produced maternal toxicity (impaired weight gain and approximately 10% mortality).
8.2Lactation Risk Summary It is not known whether carglumic acid is present in human milk. There are no available data on the effects of carglumic acid on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. Carglumic acid is present in milk from treated rats.
When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension for the treatment of pediatric patients (birth to 17 years of age) with acute or chronic hyperammonemia due to NAGS deficiency have been established, and the information on these uses are discussed throughout the labeling. There are insufficient data to determine if there is a difference in clinical or biochemical responses between adult and pediatric patients treated with Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Carglumic acid is a synthetic structural analogue of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) which is produced from glutamate and acetyl-CoA in a reaction catalyzed by N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS), a mitochondrial liver enzyme. NAG acts as the essential allosteric activator of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS 1), a mitochondrial liver enzyme which catalyzes the first reaction of the urea cycle. The urea cycle, whose role is the disposition of ammonia, includes a series of biochemical reactions in the liver resulting in the conversion of ammonia into urea, which is then excreted through the urine.
Carglumic acid acts as a CPS1 activator, improves or restores the function of the urea cycle, and facilitates ammonia detoxification and urea production.
12.2Pharmacodynamics In a retrospective review of the clinical course in 23 patients with NAGS deficiency, carglumic acid reduced plasma ammonia levels within 24 hours when administered with and without concomitant ammonia lowering therapies. No dose-response relationship has been identified. Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of carglumic acid was evaluated in a Phase 1, randomized study in 76 healthy volunteers.
The study suggests a lack of clinically relevant QT prolongation effect at the highest therapeutic dose level (250 mg/kg/day).
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of carglumic acid in healthy subjects following an intravenous (IV) infusion over 2 hours at 8 mg/kg or an oral administration at 100 mg/kg are summarized in Table 3. Table 3 : Mean (SD) Pharmacokinetic Parameter Values of Carglumic Acid in Healthy Subjects PK parameter IV infusion 8mg/kg (N=10) Oral 100 mg/kg (N=12) C max (ng/mL) 8613 (558) 3284 (321) T max (hr) # 2 (1-2) 3 (2-4) AUC (ng*hr/mL) 24501 (1613) 31426 (2150) T 1/2 (hr) 31 (3) 25 (2) CL (L/hr/kg) 0.34 (0.02) N/A V d (L/kg) 15 (1) N/A # Median (range); N/A, not applicable Absorption Following an oral administration of Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension 100 mg/kg in healthy subjects, the absolute bioavailability was approximately 10%.
Distribution Carglumic acid is not bound to plasma proteins. Elimination Carglumic acid is predominantly excreted by the kidneys as unchanged product. Metabolism A proportion of carglumic acid may be metabolized by the intestinal bacterial flora.
The likely end product of carglumic acid metabolism is carbon dioxide, eliminated through the lungs. Excretion Following an oral administration of radiolabeled Carglumic acid tablets for oral suspension at 100 mg/kg, 9% of the dose is excreted unchanged in the urine and up to 60% of the dose is recovered unchanged in the feces. Specific Populations Patients with Renal Impairment The pharmacokinetics of carglumic acid in subjects with renal impairment were compared with healthy subjects with normal renal function following oral administration of a single dose of carglumic acid tablet for oral suspension 40 mg/kg or 80 mg/kg.
The Cmax and AUC0-t of carglumic acid are summarized in Table 4. The geometric mean ratio (90% CI) of Cmax in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment relative to those in their matched control subjects with normal renal function were approximately 1.3 (0.95, 1.86), 2.0 (1.62, 2.50), and 4.4 (3.11, 6.28), respectively. The geometric mean ratio (90% CI) of AUC0-t in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment relative to those in their matched control subjects with normal renal function were approximately 1.4 (1.09, 1.73), 2.8 (2.27, 3.47), and 6.9 (5.21, 9.24), respectively [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
