Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled studies on TRYPTYR in pregnant women. Systemic exposure to acoltremon from ocular administration is negligible [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Intravenous administration of acoltremon to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis did not produce embryofetal toxicity at 806- and 2151-fold the maximum recommended human ocular dose (MRHOD) of acoltremon on a mg/m 2 basis ( see Data ) . All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the US general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects is 2 to 4%, and of miscarriage is 15 to 20%, of clinically recognized pregnancies. Data Animal Data In embryofetal developmental studies in pregnant rats and rabbits dosed by intravenous injection daily during organogenesis from gestation days 6-17 and gestation days 7-19, respectively, no maternal or fetal toxicity was observed at 806- and 2151-fold the MRHOD of acoltremon on a mg/m 2 basis.

Adverse reactions (label)

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reaction was instillation site pain (50%). ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Alcon Laboratories, Inc. at 1-800-757-9780, or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical 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. In patients with dry eye disease, 766 patients received at least one dose of TRYPTYR in four randomized controlled clinical trials across 71 sites in the United States. The most common ocular adverse reaction observed in controlled clinical studies with TRYPTYR was instillation site pain (50%). Less than 1% of patients discontinued therapy due to burning or stinging sensation in the eyes.
