ONYDA XR

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ONYDA XR is indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as monotherapy and as adjunctive therapy to central nervous system (CNS) stimulant medications in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )]. ONYDA XR is a centrally acting alpha 2 -adrenergic agonist indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as monotherapy or as adjunctive therapy to central nervous system (CNS) stimulant medications in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Starting dosage is 0.1 mg of ONYDA XR orally once daily at bedtime with or without food. Dosage may be increased in increments of 0.1 mg per day at weekly intervals. Maximum recommended dosage is 0.4 mg once daily at bedtime. ( 2.1 ) Do not substitute ONYDA XR for other clonidine products on a mg-per-mg basis because of differing pharmacokinetic profiles. ( 2.3 ) When discontinuing, taper the dose in decrements of no more than 0.1 mg every 3 to 7 days to avoid rebound hypertension. ( 2.4 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The starting dosage of ONYDA XR is 0.1 mg orally once daily at bedtime with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Titrate the dose of ONYDA XR in increments of 0.1 mg per day at weekly intervals depending on clinical response up to the maximum recommended dosage of 0.4 mg once daily at bedtime. Doses of ONYDA XR higher than 0.4 mg once daily were not evaluated in clinical trials for ADHD and are not recommended. When ONYDA XR is added to a CNS stimulant, adjust the dose of the CNS stimulant depending on the clinical response to ONYDA XR. 2.2 Administration Instructions Instruct patients to read the “Instructions for Use” for complete administration instructions. Use the oral dosing dispenser and bottle adapter provided with ONYDA XR. Ensure that the bottle adapter is firmly inserted into the bottle before first use and keep the adapter in place for the duration of the usage of the bottle. Gently shake ONYDA XR with a smooth up and down motion (to avoid foaming) for at least 10 seconds before each administration. For the bottles of 30 mL and 60 mL, discard any unused ONYDA XR 30 days after first opening the bottle. For the 120 mL bottle, discard any unused ONYDA XR 60 days after first opening the bottle. 2.3 Switching from Other Clonidine Products For patients switching from another clonidine product, discontinue that treatment, and titrate with ONYDA XR using the titration schedule [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] . Do not substitute for other clonidine products on a milligram-per-milligram basis because of differing pharmacokinetic profiles [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. 2.4 Discontinuation When discontinuing ONYDA XR, taper the total daily dose in decrements of no more than 0.1 mg every 3 to 7 days to avoid rebound hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. 2.5 Missed Doses If a dose of ONYDA XR is missed, skip that dose and take the next dose as scheduled. Do not take more than the prescribed total daily amount of ONYDA XR in any 24-hour period.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypotension/bradycardia: Titrate slowly and monitor vital signs frequently in patients at risk for hypotension, heart block, bradycardia, syncope, cardiovascular disease, vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, or chronic renal failure. Measure heart rate and blood pressure prior to initiation of therapy, following dose increases, and periodically while on therapy. Avoid concomitant use of drugs with additive effects unless clinically indicated. Advise patients to avoid becoming dehydrated or overheated. ( 5.1 ) Somnolence/Sedation: Has been observed with clonidine. Consider the potential for additive sedative effects with CNS depressant drugs. Caution patients against operating heavy equipment or driving until they know how they respond to ONYDA XR ( 5.2 ) Cardiac Conduction Abnormalities: May worsen sinus node dysfunction and atrioventricular (AV) block, especially in patients taking other sympatholytic drugs. Titrate slowly and monitor vital signs frequently. ( 5.5 ) 5.1 Hypotension/Bradycardia Treatment with ONYDA XR can cause dose-related decreases in blood pressure and heart rate [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. Measure heart rate and blood pressure prior to initiation of therapy, following dose increases, and periodically while on therapy. Titrate ONYDA XR slowly in patients with a history of hypotension, and those with underlying conditions that may be worsened by hypotension and bradycardia; e.g., heart block, bradycardia, cardiovascular disease, vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, or chronic renal failure. In patients who have a history of syncope or may have a condition that predisposes them to syncope, such as hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, or dehydration, advise patients to avoid becoming dehydrated or overheated. Monitor blood pressure and heart rate, and adjust dosages accordingly in patients treated concomitantly with antihypertensives or other drugs that can reduce blood pressure or heart rate or increase the risk of syncope [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] . 5.2 Sedation and Somnolence Somnolence and sedation were commonly reported adverse reactions in clinical studies with clonidine hydrochloride extended-release tablets. In patients that completed 5 weeks of therapy in a controlled, fixed dose pediatric monotherapy study, 31% of patients treated with 0.4 mg/day and 38% treated with 0.2 mg/day versus 4% of placebo treated patients reported somnolence as an adverse reaction. In patients that completed 5 weeks of therapy in a controlled flexible dose pediatric adjunctive to stimulants study, 19% of patients treated with clonidine hydrochloride extended-release tablets plus a stimulant versus 7% treated with placebo plus a stimulant reported somnolence. Before using ONYDA XR with other centrally active depressants (such as phenothiazines, barbiturates, or benzodiazepines), consider the potential for additive sedative effects [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] . Caution patients against operating heavy equipment or driving until they know how they respond to treatment with ONYDA XR. Advise patients to avoid use with alcohol. 5.3 Rebound Hypertension Abrupt discontinuation of ONYDA XR can cause rebound hypertension. In adults with hypertension, sudden cessation of clonidine extended-release formulation treatment in the 0.2 to 0.6 mg per day range resulted in reports of headache, tachycardia, nausea, flushing, warm feeling, brief lightheadedness, tightness in chest, and anxiety. In adults with hypertension, sudden cessation of treatment with immediate-release clonidine has, in some cases, resulted in symptoms such as nervousness, agitation, headache, and tremor accompanied or followed by a rapid rise in blood pressure and elevated catecholamine concentrations in the plasma. Pediatric patients with gastrointestinal illnesses that lead to vomiting may result in missed doses of ONYDA XR, increasing the risk for rebound hypertension. No studies evaluating abrupt discont…

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS ONYDA XR is contraindicated in patients with a history of a hypersensitivity reaction to clonidine. Reactions have included generalized rash, urticaria, and angioedema [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6 )]. History of a hypersensitivity reaction to clonidine. Reactions have included generalized rash, urticaria, angioedema. ( 4 )

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS The interactions of ONYDA XR with co-administration of other drugs have not been studied. The drug interaction data provided in this section is based on oral immediate-release clonidine formulations. Table 5 displays clinically important drug interactions with ONYDA XR. Table 5: Clinically Important Drug Interactions with ONYDA XR Antihypertensive drugs Clinical Implication Concomitant use of antihypertensive drugs with clonidine potentiates the hypotensive effects of clonidine. Intervention Monitor blood pressure and heart rate, and adjust dosage of ONYDA XR accordingly in patients treated concomitantly with antihypertensives [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . CNS depressants Clinical Implication Concomitant use of CNS depressants with clonidine potentiates the sedating effects [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Intervention Avoid concomitant use of CNS depressants with ONYDA XR. Drugs that affect sinus node function or AV node conduction (e.g., digitalis, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers) Clinical Implication Concomitant use of drugs that affect sinus node function or AV node conduction with clonidine potentiate bradycardia and risk of AV block [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . Intervention Avoid concomitant use of drugs that affect sinus node function or AV node conduction with ONYDA XR. Tricyclic antidepressants Clinical Implication Concomitant use of tricyclic antidepressants with clonidine can increase blood pressure and may counteract the hypotensive effects of clonidine. Intervention Monitor blood pressure and adjust dosage of ONYDA XR as needed. CNS Depressants: Clonidine may potentiate the CNS-depressive effects of alcohol, barbiturates or other sedating drugs. ( 7 ) Tricyclic Antidepressants: May reduce the hypotensive effect of clonidine. ( 7 ) Drugs Known to Affect Sinus Node Function or AV Nodal Conduction: Avoid use of ONYDA XR with agents known to affect sinus node function or AV nodal conduction (e.g., digitalis, calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers) due to a potential for additive effects such as bradycardia and AV block. ( 7 ) Antihypertensive drugs: Use caution when coadministered with ONYDA XR. ( 7 )

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ADHD medications, including ONYDA XR, during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to advise patients to register by calling the National Pregnancy Registry for Psychiatric Medications at 1-866-961-2388 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/adhd-medications/ . Risk Summary Prolonged experience with clonidine in pregnant women over several decades, based on published literature, including controlled trials, a retrospective cohort study and case reports, have not identified a drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, and adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal embryofetal studies, increased resorptions were seen in rats and mice administered oral clonidine hydrochloride from implantation through organogenesis at 10 and 5 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) given to adolescents on a mg/m 2 basis. No developmental effects were seen in rabbits administered oral clonidine hydrochloride during organogenesis at doses up to 3 times the MRHD (see Data ). 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, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Oral administration of clonidine hydrochloride to pregnant rabbits during the period of embryo/fetal organogenesis at doses of up to 80 mcg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the oral maximum recommended daily dose [MRHD] of 0.4 mg/day given to adolescents on a mg/m 2 basis) produced no developmental effects. In pregnant rats, however, doses as low as 15 mcg/kg/day (1/3 the MRHD given to adolescents on a mg/m 2 basis) were associated with increased resorptions in a study in which dams were treated continuously from 2 months prior to mating and throughout gestation. Increased resorptions were not associated with treatment at the same or at higher dose levels (up to 3 times the MRHD) when treatment of the dams was restricted to gestation days 6-15. Increases in resorptions were observed in both rats and mice at 500 mcg/kg/day (10 and 5 times the MRHD in rats and mice, respectively) or higher when the animals were treated on gestation days 1-14; 500 mcg/kg/day was the lowest dose employed in this study.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Infertility Findings in animal studies revealed that ONYDA XR may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )].

The safety of ONYDA XR for the treatment of ADHD in pediatric patients 6 years and older is based upon adequate and well-controlled studies of clonidine hydrochloride extended-release tablets (referred to as “clonidine hydrochloride extended-release” in this section). The safety results of these adequate and well-controlled studies of clonidine hydrochloride extended-release tablets are presented below. Two clonidine hydrochloride extended-release ADHD clinical studies (Study 1 and Study 2) evaluated 256 patients in two 8-week placebo-controlled studies. A third clonidine hydrochloride extended-release ADHD clinical study (Study 3) evaluated 135 pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age in a 40-week placebo-controlled randomized‑withdrawal study. Study 1: Fixed-dose clonidine hydrochloride extended-release Monotherapy Study 1 was a short-term, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of two fixed doses (0.2 mg/day or 0.4 mg/day) of clonidine hydrochloride extended-release in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age who met DSM-IV criteria for ADHD hyperactive or combined inattentive/hyperactive subtypes. Most Common Adverse Reactions (incidence of ≥ 5% and at least twice the rate of placebo): somnolence, fatigue, irritability, insomnia, nightmare, constipation, dry mouth. Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation of clonidine hydrochloride extended-release: Five patients (7%) in the low dose group (0.2 mg), 15 patients (20%) in the high dose group (0.4 mg), and 1 patient in the placebo group (1%) reported adverse reactions that led to discontinuation. The most common adverse reactions that led to discontinuation were somnolence and fatigue. Commonly observed adverse reactions (incidence of ≥2% in either active treatment group and greater than the rate on placebo) during the treatment period are listed in Table 1 .
