XPHOZAH 20 mg Tenapanor 20 mg Tablet, Film Coated, 60-count

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Tenapanor is essentially non-absorbed systemically, with plasma concentrations below the limit of quantification (less than 0.5 ng/mL) following oral administration [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Therefore, maternal use is not expected to result in fetal exposure to the drug. The available data on XPHOZAH exposure from a small number of pregnant women have not identified any drug associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.

In reproduction studies with tenapanor in pregnant rats and rabbits, no adverse fetal effects were observed in rats at 0.2 times the maximum recommended human dose and in rabbits at doses up to 15 times the maximum recommended human dose (based on body surface area) [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for women with CKD on dialysis with hyperphosphatemia is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.

In the United States 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. Animal Data In an embryofetal development study in rats, tenapanor was administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at dose levels of 1, 10 and 30 mg/kg/day. Tenapanor doses of 10 and 30 mg/kg/day were not tolerated by the pregnant rats and was associated with mortality and moribundity with body weight loss.

The 10 and 30 mg/kg dose group animals were sacrificed early, and the fetuses were not examined for intrauterine parameters and fetal morphology. No adverse fetal effects were observed in rats at 1 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.2 times the maximum recommended human dose) and in rabbits at doses up to 45 mg/kg/day (approximately 15 times the maximum recommended human dose, based on body surface area). In a pre- and post-natal developmental study in mice, tenapanor at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (approximately 16.5 times the maximum recommended human dose, based on body surface area) had no effect on pre- and post-natal development.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary Tenapanor and its major metabolite, M1, were not detected in the breast milk of lactating women ( see Data ). In adults, concentrations of tenapanor were below the limit of quantitation in plasma following multiple doses of tenapanor [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Maternal use of XPHOZAH is not expected to result in exposure to tenapanor or its major metabolite in breastfed infants.

There is no information on the effects of tenapanor or M1 on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for XPHOZAH and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from XPHOZAH or from the underlying maternal condition. Data A clinical lactation study was conducted in seven healthy adult women who were 22 to 37 years of age.

Following oral administration of tenapanor 50 mg twice daily for 3 days, the concentrations of tenapanor and its major metabolite were below the limit of quantitation (<1 ng/mL and <1 ng/mL) in all breast milk samples collected over 24 hours post dosing.

8.4Pediatric Use Risk Summary XPHOZAH is contraindicated in patients less than 6 years of age. In nonclinical studies, deaths occurred in young juvenile rats (less than 1-week old rats; approximate human age-equivalent of less than 2 years of age) and in older juvenile rats (approximate human age-equivalent of 2 years of age) following oral administration of tenapanor, as described below in Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data. The safety and effectiveness of XPHOZAH in pediatric patients have not been established.

In nonclinical studies, deaths occurred in young juvenile rats (less than 1-week old rats; approximate human age-equivalent of less than 2 years of age) and in older juvenile rats (approximate human age-equivalent of 2 years of age) following oral administration of tenapanor, as described below in Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data. The safety and effectiveness of XPHOZAH in pediatric patients have not been established.

Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data In a 21-day oral dose range finding toxicity study in juvenile rats, tenapanor was administered to neonatal rats (post-natal day (PND) 5) at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg/day. Tenapanor was not tolerated in male and female pups and the study was terminated on PND 16 due to mortalities and decreased body weight (24% to 29% reduction in females at the respective dose groups and 33% reduction in males in the 10 mg/kg/day group, compared to control). In a second dose range finding study, tenapanor doses of 0.1, 0.5, 2.5, or 5 mg/kg/day were administered to neonatal rats from PND 5 through PND 24.

Treatment-related mortalities were observed at 0.5, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg/day doses. These premature deaths were observed as early as PND 8, with majority of deaths occurring between PND 15 and 25. In the 5 mg/kg/day group, mean body weights were 47% lower for males on PND 23 and 35% lower for females on PND 22 when compared to the controls.

Slightly lower mean tibial lengths (5% to 11%) were noted in males and females in the 0.5, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg/day dose groups on PND 25 and correlated with the decrements in body weight noted in these groups. Lower spleen, thymus, and/or ovarian weights were noted at the 0.5, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg/day doses. Tenapanor-related gastrointestinal distension and microscopic bone findings of increased osteoclasts, eroded bone, and/or decreased bone in sternum and/or femorotibial joint were noted in males and females in the 0.5, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg/day dose groups.

In juvenile rats administered tenapanor at 0.03, 0.1, or 0.3 mg/kg/day on PND 5 through PND 61, treatment-related mortalities were observed at 0.3 mg/kg/day. Lower mean body weight gains were noted in the 0.3 mg/kg/day group males and females compared to the control group primarily during PND 12–24 but continuing sporadically during the remainder of the dosing period; corresponding lower mean food consumption was noted in this group during PND 21–33. As a result, mean body weights were up to 15.8% and 16.8% lower in males and females, respectively, compared to the control group; the greatest difference was on PND 24 for males and PND 21 for females.

Mean body weight in the 0.3 mg/kg/day group males was only 3.9% lower than the control group on PND 61. There were no tenapanor-related effects on mean body weights, body weight gains, or food consumption in the 0.03 and 0.1 mg/kg/day group males and females. A dosage level of 0.1 mg/kg/day was considered to be the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for juvenile toxicity of tenapanor [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].

In a 21-day oral dose range finding study in older (weaned) juvenile rats administered tenapanor at 0.1, 1, or 5 mg/kg/day on PND 21 through PND 41 (approximate human age-equivalent of 2 to 12 years of age), treatment-related mortalities or moribundities were observed during the first two days of the study in the 1 mg/kg/day males and the 5 mg/kg/day males and females. Watery feces, decreased food consumption, and lower mean body weight were also observed in the 1 and 5 mg/kg/day groups. In weaned juvenile rats administered tenapanor at 0.1, 0.3, and 0.7 (males) or 1 (females) mg/kg/day on PND 21 through PND 80, no mortalities were observed.

Significant decreases in mean body weights were observed in the 0.3 and 0.7 mg/kg/day males throughout the dosing period (up to 20.3% lower than control) and in the 1 mg/kg/day females between PND 23 to…

8.5Geriatric Use Of 1010 adult patients with CKD on dialysis randomized and treated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized withdrawal clinical trials for XPHOZAH (TEN-02-201 and TEN-02-301) as well as a third randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (TEN-02-202) for XPHOZAH in combination with phosphate binders, 282 (28%) were 65 years of age and older. Clinical studies of XPHOZAH did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and older to determine whether they respond differently than younger patients.
