Adverse Reactions

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Abuse, Misuse, and Addiction [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2 , 9.3) ] Hypersensitivity to amphetamine, or other components of EVEKEO ODT [see Contraindications (4) ] Hypertensive Crisis When Used Concomitantly with Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.1) ] Risks to Patients with Serious Cardiac Disease [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Increased Blood Pressure and Heart Rate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Psychiatric Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Seizures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Long-Term Suppression of Growth in Pediatric Patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Peripheral Vasculopathy, including Raynaud's Phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Serotonin Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] Motor and Verbal Tics, and Worsening of Tourette's Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥4% and at a rate at least twice placebo) in pediatric patients are: decreased appetite and insomnia. ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Arbor Pharmaceuticals, LLC at 1-800-461-7449 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 clinical practice. Study 1 was conducted with EVEKEO tablets (i.e., not the ODT formulation) in children ages 6 to 12 years who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4 th edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for ADHD. This study began with an 8-week, open-label, dose-optimization phase followed by a 2-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, crossover phase. Adverse reactions reported in > 5% of patients (N=105; doses of 10 to 40 mg/day) during the open-label phase included: decreased appetite (28%), infections (22%), abdominal pain (15%), irritability (14%), headache (13%), nausea (6%), vomiting (6%), affect lability (includes mood swings; 9%), tachycardia (9%), insomnia (10%), fatigue (10%),and dry mouth (6%). During the open-label phase, six patients discontinued due to adverse reactions: irritability (n=3), affect lability (n=1), initial insomnia (n=1), and rash (n=1). Table 1 lists the adverse reactions reported during the double-blind, cross-over phase. No patient discontinued the study for an adverse reaction during the double-blind crossover phase. Because of the trial design (an initial 8-week, open-label, active treatment phase), the adverse reaction rates described in the double-blind phase are lower than expected in clinical practice. Table 1: Adverse Reactions Reported in ≥ 2%, and > Placebo, of EVEKEO-Treated Pediatric Patients (6 to 12 Years) During the Double-Blind Cross-Over Weeks. Drug exposures and placebo exposures from cross-over were combined for analysis.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Cardiovascular: Palpitations, tachycardia, elevation of blood pressure, sudden death, myocardial infarction. There have been isolated reports of cardiomyopathy associated with chronic amphetamine use. Central Nervous System: Psychotic episodes at recommended doses, overstimulation, irritability, restlessness, dizziness, insomnia, euphoria, mood swings, aggression, anger, logorrhea, dermatillomania, dyskinesia, dysphoria, tremor, fatigue, headache, exacerbation of motor and verbal tics and Tourette's syndrome Gastrointestinal: Dry mouth, unpleasant taste, constipation, nausea, intestinal ischemia, other gastrointestinal disturbances, anorexia, and weight loss. Allergic: Urticaria, rash, hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and anaphylaxis. Serious skin rashes, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported. Endocrine: Impotence, changes in libido, and frequent or prolonged erections. Skin : Alopecia. Vascular Disorders : Raynaud's phenomenon. Musculoskeletal: Rhabdomyolysis.

Chemical Structure

Dosage And Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Administer in the morning with or without food or liquid. ( 2.2 ) Recommended starting dosage is 5 mg once or twice daily. If necessary, administer an additional dose after 4 to 6 hours. Titrate the dosage in increments of 5 mg at weekly intervals. ( 2.2 ) Only in rare cases will it be necessary to exceed a total of 40 mg daily. ( 2.2 ) Place the whole tablet on tongue and allow to disintegrate in saliva, so that it can be swallowed. ( 2.3 ) Do not substitute for other amphetamine products on a milligram-per-milligram basis because of different amphetamine salt compositions and differing pharmacokinetic profiles. ( 2.4 ) 2.1 Pretreatment Screening Prior to treating patients with EVEKEO ODT, assess: for the presence of cardiac disease (i.e., perform a careful history, family history of sudden death or ventricular arrhythmia, and physical exam) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. the family history and clinically evaluate patients for motor or verbal tics or Tourette's syndrome before initiating EVEKEO ODT [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ]. 2.2 Recommended Dosage Administer EVEKEO ODT orally in the morning with or without food or liquid. The recommended starting dosage for pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age is 5 mg once or twice daily. If necessary, administer an additional dose after 4 to 6 hours. Titrate the dosage in increments of 5 mg at weekly intervals depending on response and tolerability. Only in rare cases will it be necessary to exceed a total of 40 mg daily. Amphetamine should be administered at the lowest effective dosage and dosage should be individually adjusted. 2.3 Administration Instructions Instruct the patient or caregiver on the following administration instructions: Do not remove the tablet from the blister pack until just prior to dosing. Do not store the tablet for future use. Use dry hands to open the blister. Remove the tablet by pushing it through the back of the foil-lined blister pack. As soon as the blister is opened, remove the tablet and place the tablet on the patient's tongue. Place the whole tablet on the tongue and allow it to disintegrate without chewing or crushing. The tablet will disintegrate in saliva so that it can be swallowed. No liquid is needed to take the tablet. The tablet can be actively moved around between the tongue and the roof of the mouth until it disintegrates. 2.4 Switching from Other Amphetamine Products Switching from EVEKEO to EVEKEO ODT can be done on a milligram-per-milligram basis. When switching from other amphetamine products, discontinue treatment and titrate with EVEKEO ODT using the titration schedule above. Do not substitute for other amphetamine products on a milligram-per-milligram basis because of different amphetamine salt compositions and differing pharmacokinetic profiles [see Description (11) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 2.5 Dosage Modifications Due to Drug Interactions Agents that alter urinary pH can impact urinary excretion and alter blood levels of amphetamine. Acidifying agents (e.g., ascorbic acid) decrease blood levels, while alkalinizing agents (e.g., sodium bicarbonate) increase blood levels. Adjust EVEKEO ODT dosage accordingly [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] .

Indications And Usage

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE EVEKEO ODT is indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age. EVEKEO ODT is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age. ( 1 )

Abuse

9.2 Abuse EVEKEO ODT has a high potential for abuse and misuse which can lead to the development of a substance use disorder, including addiction [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . EVEKEO ODT can be diverted for non-medical use into illicit channels or distribution. Abuse is the intentional non-therapeutic use of a drug, even once, to achieve a desired psychological or physiological effect. Misuse is the intentional use, for therapeutic purposes, of a drug by an individual in a way other than prescribed by a health care provider or for whom it was not prescribed. Drug addiction is a cluster of behavioral, cognitive, and physiological phenomena that may include a strong desire to take the drug, difficulties in controlling drug use (e.g., continuing drug use despite harmful consequences, giving a higher priority to drug use than other activities and obligations), and possible tolerance or physical dependence. Misuse and abuse of amphetamine may cause increased heart rate, respiratory rate, or blood pressure; sweating; dilated pupils; hyperactivity; restlessness; insomnia; decreased appetite; loss of coordination; tremors; flushed skin; vomiting; and/or abdominal pain. Anxiety, psychosis, hostility, aggression, and suicidal or homicidal ideation have also been observed with CNS stimulants abuse and/or misuse. Misuse and abuse of CNS stimulants, including EVEKEO ODT, can result in overdose and death [see Overdosage (10) ] , and this risk is increased with higher doses or unapproved methods of administration, such as snorting or injection.

Controlled Substance

9.1 Controlled Substance EVEKEO ODT contains amphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance.

Dependence

9.3 Dependence Physical Dependence EVEKEO ODT may produce physical dependence. Physical dependence is a state that develops as a result of physiological adaptation in response to repeated drug use, manifested by withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug. Withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or dose reduction following prolonged use of CNS stimulants including EVEKEO ODT include dysphoric mood; depression; fatigue; vivid, unpleasant dreams; insomnia or hypersomnia; increased appetite; and psychomotor retardation or agitation. Tolerance EVEKEO ODT may produce tolerance. Tolerance is a physiological state characterized by a reduced response to a drug after repeated administration (i.e., a higher dose of a drug is required to produce the same effect that was once obtained at a lower dose).

Drug Abuse And Dependence

Withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or dose reduction following prolonged use of CNS stimulants including EVEKEO ODT include dysphoric mood; depression; fatigue; vivid, unpleasant dreams; insomnia or hypersomnia; increased appetite; and psychomotor retardation or agitation. Tolerance EVEKEO ODT may produce tolerance. Tolerance is a physiological state characterized by a reduced response to a drug after repeated administration (i.e., a higher dose of a drug is required to produce the same effect that was once obtained at a lower dose).

Overdosage

10 OVERDOSAGE Clinical Effects of Overdose Overdose of CNS stimulants is characterized by the following sympathomimetic effects: Cardiovascular effects including tachyarrhythmias, and hypertension or hypotension. Vasospasm, myocardial infarction, or aortic dissection may precipitate sudden cardiac death. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy may develop. CNS effects including psychomotor agitation, confusion, and hallucinations. Serotonin syndrome, seizures, cerebral vascular accidents, and coma may occur. Life-threatening hyperthermia (temperatures greater than 104°F) and rhabdomyolysis may develop. Overdose Management Consider the possibility of multiple drug ingestion. D-amphetamine is not dialyzable. Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Acidifying and Alkalinizing Agents : Agents that alter GI and urinary pH can alter blood levels of amphetamine. Acidifying agents (GI and urinary) can decrease amphetamine blood levels, while alkalinizing agents (GI and urinary) can increase amphetamine blood levels. Adjust EVEKEO ODT dosage accordingly. ( 2.5 , 7.1 ) 7.1 Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with Amphetamines Table 2: Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with Amphetamines MAO Inhibitors (MAOI) Clinical Impact MAOI antidepressants slow amphetamine metabolism, increasing amphetamines effect on the release of norepinephrine and other monoamines from adrenergic nerve endings causing headaches and other signs of hypertensive crisis. Toxic neurological effects and malignant hyperpyrexia can occur, sometimes with fatal results. Intervention Do not administer EVEKEO ODT during or within 14 days following the administration of MAOI [see Contraindications (4) ] . Serotonergic Drugs Clinical Impact The concomitant use of EVEKEO ODT and serotonergic drugs increases the risk of serotonin syndrome. Intervention Initiate with lower doses and monitor patients for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome, particularly during EVEKEO ODT initiation or dosage increase. If serotonin syndrome occurs, discontinue EVEKEO ODT and concomitant serotonergic drug(s) [see Warnings and Precautions 5.8 ] . Alkalinizing Agents Clinical Impact May increase exposure to amphetamine and exacerbate the action of amphetamine. Intervention Caution should be taken when co-administering EVEKEO ODT and gastrointestinal and urinary alkalinizing agents. Acidifying Agents Clinical Impact Lower blood levels and efficacy of amphetamines. Intervention Increase dose of EVEKEO ODT based on clinical response. Tricyclic Antidepressants Clinical Impact May enhance the activity of tricyclic or sympathomimetic agents causing sustained increases in the concentration of d- amphetamine in the brain; cardiovascular effects can be potentiated. Intervention Monitor frequently and adjust EVEKEO ODT dose or use alternative therapy based on clinical response. CYP2D6 Inhibitors Clinical Impact The concomitant use of EVEKEO ODT and CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase the exposure of EVEKEO ODT compared to the use of the drug alone and increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Intervention Initiate with lower doses and monitor patients for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome particularly during EVEKEO ODT initiation and after a dosage increase. If serotonin syndrome occurs, discontinue EVEKEO ODT and the CYP2D6 inhibitor. Alternatively, consider using a drug that does not inhibit CYP2D6 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) and Overdosage (10) ] . 7.2 Drug-Laboratory Test Interactions Amphetamines can cause a significant elevation in plasma corticosteroid levels. This increase is greatest in the evening. Amphetamines may interfere with urinary steroid determinations.

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Amphetamines are non-catecholamine sympathomimetic amines with central nervous system (CNS) stimulant activity. The mode of therapeutic action in ADHD is not known. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Amphetamines block the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space. EVEKEO ODT is a 1:1 racemic mixture of d - and l -amphetamine. The l-isomer is more potent than the d-isomer in cardiovascular activity while the d-isomer is more potent than the l-isomer in causing CNS excitatory effects. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Amphetamine demonstrates linear pharmacokinetics over the dose range of 5 to 40 mg. Absorption Following a single-dose oral administration of Evekeo ODT 20 mg disintegrated/dissolved in the oral cavity in healthy subjects in a crossover study, exposures (C max and AUC) to d- and l-amphetamine were comparable to that after administration of equal dose of immediate-release amphetamine sulfate tablets (Evekeo) tablets swallowed intact with water. Median (range) T max of d- and l- amphetamine was reached at approximately 3.5 (2-8) hours and 3.0 (1 -6) hours after administration without water and with water, respectively. Effect of Food Administration of food (a high fat meal) does not affect the observed AUC and C max of d- and l- amphetamine after single-dose oral administration of EVEKEO ODT (20 mg) in healthy adults who allowed the tablet to be disintegrated/dissolved in their oral cavity prior to swallowing without water. Median (range) T max increased from 2.5 (1.5 – 6) hours to 4.5 (2.5 – 8.0) hours when administration without compared to with food. Elimination Amphetamine undergoes both hepatic and renal elimination. The plasma elimination half-life of d- and l- amphetamine averaged 10.0 and about 11.7 hours in healthy adult volunteers. Metabolism Amphetamine d- and l- enantiomers are highly metabolized largely by two primary oxidative pathways, one via CYP2D6 to produce active metabolite 4-hydroxyamphetamine, and the other by oxidative deamination. CYP2D6 is one of several enzymes involved in the biotransformation of amphetamine. Excretion Amphetamine is renally eliminated in a pH-dependent manner. The renal excretion rate of unchanged amphetamine at a urine pH of 6.6 averages 70% versus 17% - 43% at urine pH of >6.7.

    Clinical Studies

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES The safety and effectiveness of EVEKEO ODT for the treatment of ADHD has been established based on an adequate and well-controlled study of immediate-release amphetamine sulfate (EVEKEO). Below is a description of this study and its results. Study 1 (NCT01986062) was conducted with EVEKEO tablets in children ages 6 to 12 years who met DSM-IV-TR criteria for ADHD. Following 8 weeks of open-label dose optimization, patients were randomly assigned to continue their optimized dose of EVEKEO (10 to 40 mg/day in divided doses) or placebo for 1 week. After 1 week, patients crossed-over to receive the alternate treatment. At the end of each treatment week, efficacy assessments were conducted at 0.75, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours post-dose using the Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) rating scale. SKAMP is a 13-item teacher-rated scale that assesses manifestations of ADHD in a classroom setting. The SKAMP-Combined score was obtained by summing items 1 through 13. The primary efficacy outcome assessed by the SKAMP-Combined score at 2 hours postdose was statistically significantly better in EVEKEO treatment compared to placebo (Table 3). Key secondary efficacy endpoints were the time-to-onset and duration-of-effect of EVEKEO using SKAMP-Combined scores. SKAMP-Combined scores were statistically significantly better for patients in the EVEKEO treatment group compared to patients in the placebo treatment group beginning at 0.75 hours post-dose and at each assessment through 10 hours post-dose. (Figure 1).

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use EVEKEO ODT has not been studied in patients over the age of 65 years.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of EVEKEO ODT have been established in pediatric patients 6 years and older. Use of EVEKEO ODT is based on one adequate and well-controlled study with another immediate-release amphetamine sulfate product (EVEKEO) in pediatric patients 6 to 12 years [see Clinical Studies (14) ], along with dosing and safety information for other amphetamine products. The safety and efficacy in pediatric patients less than 6 years have not been established. Long-Term Growth Suppression Growth should be monitored during treatment with stimulants, including EVEKEO ODT. Pediatric patients aged 6 to 17 years who are not growing or gaining weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ADHD medications, including EVEKEO ODT, during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the National Pregnancy Registry for Psychostimulants at 1-866-961-2388 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/othermedications/. Risk Summary Available data from published epidemiologic studies and postmarketing reports on use of prescription amphetamine in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including premature delivery and low birth weight, have been seen in infants born to mothers taking amphetamines during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ) . Dextroamphetamine sulfate has been shown to have embryotoxic effects when administered to A/Jax mice and C57BL mice in doses approximately 6 times the maximum human dose. Embryotoxic effects were not seen in New Zealand white rabbits. 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 miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Amphetamines, such as EVEKEO ODT, cause vasoconstriction and thereby decrease placental perfusion. In addition, amphetamines can stimulate uterine contractions, increasing the risk of premature delivery. Infants born to mothers taking amphetamines during pregnancy have an increased risk of premature delivery and low birth weight. Monitor infants born to mothers taking amphetamines for symptoms of withdrawal such as feeding difficulties, irritability, agitation, and excessive drowsiness.

Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including premature delivery and low birth weight, have been seen in infants born to mothers taking amphetamines during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ) . Dextroamphetamine sulfate has been shown to have embryotoxic effects when administered to A/Jax mice and C57BL mice in doses approximately 6 times the maximum human dose. Embryotoxic effects were not seen in New Zealand white rabbits. 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 miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Amphetamines, such as EVEKEO ODT, cause vasoconstriction and thereby decrease placental perfusion. In addition, amphetamines can stimulate uterine contractions, increasing the risk of premature delivery. Infants born to mothers taking amphetamines during pregnancy have an increased risk of premature delivery and low birth weight. Monitor infants born to mothers taking amphetamines for symptoms of withdrawal such as feeding difficulties, irritability, agitation, and excessive drowsiness. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary Based on limited case reports in published literature, amphetamine ( d- or dl ) is present in human milk at relative infant doses of 2% to 13.8% of the maternal weight-adjusted dosage and a milk/plasma ratio ranging between 1.9 and 7.5. There are no reports of adverse effects on the breastfed infant. Long-term neurodevelopmental effects on infants from amphetamine exposure are unknown. It is possible that large dosages of amphetamine might interfere with milk production, especially in women whose lactation is not well established. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, advise patients that breast feeding is not recommended during treatment with EVEKEO ODT. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of EVEKEO ODT have been established in pediatric patients 6 years and older. Use of EVEKEO ODT is based on one adequate and well-controlled study with another immediate-release amphetamine sulfate product (EVEKEO) in pediatric patients 6 to 12 years [see Clinical Studies (14) ], along with dosing and safety information for other amphetamine products. The safety and efficacy in pediatric patients less than 6 years have not been established. Long-Term Growth Suppression Growth should be monitored during treatment with stimulants, including EVEKEO ODT. Pediatric patients aged 6 to 17 years who are not growing or gaining weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 8.5 Geriatric Use EVEKEO ODT has not been studied in patients over the age of 65 years.
