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. Adults In clinical trials (Studies 1, 2, and 3), a total of 1212 patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis received Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg. This included 783 patients who received Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg in the 2-year placebo-controlled trials (Studies 1 and 3) and 429 patients who received Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg in the 1-year active-controlled trial (Study 2). The overall exposure in the controlled trials was equivalent to 1716 person-years. Approximately 1000 patients received at least 2 years of treatment with Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg. In all clinical studies, including uncontrolled extension studies, the exposure to Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg was approximately 4119 person-years. In placebo-controlled trials, the most frequent adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 10% and greater than placebo) for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg were headache, liver transaminase elevation, diarrhea, cough, influenza, sinusitis, back pain, abdominal pain, and pain in extremity. Adverse events that led to treatment discontinuation and occurred in more than 1% of patients taking Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg, were serum transaminase elevations (4.7% compared to 1% on placebo) and basal cell carcinoma (1% compared to 0.5% on placebo). Table 1 lists adverse reactions in clinical studies in adults that occurred in ≥ 1% of Fingolimod-treated patients and ≥ 1% higher rate than for placebo. Table 1: Adverse Reactions Reported in Adult Studies 1 and 3 (Occurring in ≥ 1% of Patients and Reported for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg at ≥ 1% Higher Rate Than for Placebo) Adverse drug reactions Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg N = 783 % Placebo N = 773 % Infections Influenza 11 8 Sinusitis 11 8 Bronchitis 8 5 Herpes zoster 2 1 Tinea versicolor 2 < 1 Cardiac disorders Bradycardia 3 1 Nervous system disorders Headache 25 24 Migraine 6 4 Gastrointestinal disorders Nausea 13 12 Diarrhea 13 10 Abdominal pain 11 10 General disorders and administration-site conditions Asthenia 2 1 Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders Back pain 10 9 Pain in extremity 10 7 Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders Alopecia 3 2 Actinic keratosis 2 1 Investigations Liver transaminase elevations (ALT/GGT/AST) 15 4 Blood triglycerides increased 3 1 Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders Cough 12 11 Dyspnea 9 7 Eye disorders Vision blurred 4 2 Vascular disorders Hypertension 8 4 Blood and lymphatic system disorders Lymphopenia 7 < 1 Leukopenia 2 < 1 Neoplasms benign, malignant, and unspecified (including cysts and polyps) Skin papilloma 3 2 Basal cell carcinoma 2 1 Abbreviations: ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transferase; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transferase. Adverse reactions of seizure, dizziness, pneumonia, eczema, and pruritus were also reported in Studies 1 and 3, but did not meet the reporting rate criteria for inclusion in Table 1 (difference was less than 1%). Adverse reactions with Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg in Study 2, the 1-year active-controlled (versus interferon beta-1a) study were generally similar to those in Studies 1 and 3. Vascular Events Vascular events, including ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, and peripheral arterial occlusive disease were reported in premarketing clinical trials in patients who received Fingolimod Capsules doses (1.25 mg to 5 mg) higher than recommended for use in MS. Similar events have been reported with Fingolimod Capsules in the postmarketing setting although a causal relationship has not been established. Seizure Cases of seizures, including status epilepticus, have been reported with the use of Fingolimod Capsules in clinical trials and in the postmarketing setting in adults [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . In adult clinical trials, the rate of seizures was 0.9% in Fingolimod-treated patients and 0.3% in placebo-treated patients. It is unknown whether these events were related to the effects of multiple sclerosis alone, to Fingolimod Capsules, or to a combination of both. Pediatric Patients 10 Years of Age and Older In the controlled pediatric trial (Study 4), the safety profile in pediatric patients receiving Fingolimod Capsules 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg daily was similar to that seen in adult patients. In the pediatric study, cases of seizures were reported in 5.6% of Fingolimod-treated patients and 0.9% of interferon beta-1a-treated patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)]. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of Fingolimod Capsules. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: Hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia Hepatobiliary Disorders: Liver injury [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Infections : Infections including cryptococcal infections [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] , human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, including papilloma, dysplasia, warts and HPV-related cancer [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] , progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: Arthralgia, myalgia Nervous System Disorders: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.6 )] , seizures, including status epilepticus [ see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] Neoplasms, Benign, Malignant, and Unspecified (including cysts and polyps): melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (including mycosis fungoides) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 )] Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.14 )]

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Assessments are required prior to initiating Fingolimod Capsules ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage for adults and pediatric patients (10 years of age and older) weighing more than 40 kg: 0.5 mg orally once-daily, with or without food. ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) Recommended dosage for pediatric patients (10 years of age and above) weighing less than or equal to 40 kg: 0.25 mg orally once-daily, with or without food. ( 2.2 , 2.3 ). First-Dose Monitoring (including reinitiation after discontinuation greater than 14 days and dose increases): Observe all patients for bradycardia for at least 6 hours; monitor pulse and blood pressure hourly. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) prior to dosing and at end of observation period required. ( 2.4 ) Monitor until resolution if heart rate < 45 beats per minute (bpm) in adults, < 55 bpm in patients aged 12 years and above, or < 60 bpm in pediatric patients aged 10 to below 12 years, atrioventricular (AV) block, or if lowest postdose heart rate is at the end of the observation period. ( 2.4 ) Monitor symptomatic bradycardia with ECG until resolved. Continue overnight if intervention is required; repeat first-dose monitoring for second dose. ( 2.4 ) Observe patients overnight if at higher risk of symptomatic bradycardia, heart block, prolonged QTc interval, or if taking drugs with known risk of torsades de pointes. ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) Cardiac Evaluation Obtain a cardiac evaluation in patients with certain preexisting conditions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Prior to starting treatment, determine whether patients are taking drugs that could slow heart rate or atrioventricular (AV) conduction [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 ), Drug Interactions ( 7.5 )]. Complete Blood Count (CBC) Review results of a recent CBC [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ), Drug Interactions ( 7.6 )]. Serum Transaminases (ALT and AST) and Total Bilirubin Levels Prior to starting treatment with Fingolimod Capsules (i.e., within 6 months), obtain serum transaminases [alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transferase (AST)] and total bilirubin levels [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )]. Prior Medications If patients are taking antineoplastic, immunosuppressive, or immune-modulating therapies, or if there is a history of prior use of these drugs, consider possible unintended additive immunosuppressive effects before initiating treatment with Fingolimod Capsules [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ), Drug Interactions ( 7.4 )]. Vaccinations Test patients for antibodies to varicella zoster virus (VZV) before initiating Fingolimod Capsules; VZV vaccination of antibody-negative patients is recommended prior to commencing treatment with Fingolimod Capsules [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . It is recommended that pediatric patients if possible, complete all immunizations in accordance with current immunization guidelines prior to initiating Fingolimod Capsules therapy. 2.2 Important Administration Instructions Patients who initiate Fingolimod Capsules, and those who reinitiate treatment after discontinuation for longer than 14 days, require first-dose monitoring . This monitoring is also recommended when the dose is increased in pediatric patients [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 , 2.5 )]. Fingolimod Capsules can be taken with or without food. 2.3 Recommended Dosage In adults and pediatric patients 10 years of age and older weighing more than 40 kg, the recommended dosage of Fingolimod Capsules is 0.5 mg orally once-daily. Fingolimod doses higher than 0.5 mg are associated with a greater incidence of adverse reactions without additional benefit. 2.4 First-Dose Monitoring Initiation of Fingolimod Capsules treatment results in a decrease in heart rate, for which monitoring is recommended [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )]. Prior to dosing and at the end of the observation period, obtain an electrocardiogram (ECG) in all patients. First 6-Hour Monitoring Administer the first dose of Fingolimod Capsules in a setting in which resources to appropriately manage symptomatic bradycardia are available. Monitor all patients for 6 hours after the first dose for signs and symptoms of bradycardia with hourly pulse and blood pressure measurement. Additional Monitoring After 6-Hour Monitoring Continue monitoring until the abnormality resolves if any of the following is present (even in the absence of symptoms) after 6 hours: the heart rate 6 hours postdose is less than 45 beats per minute (bpm) in adults, less than 55 bpm in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older, or less than 60 bpm in pediatric patients 10 or 11 years of age; the heart rate 6 hours postdose is at the lowest value postdose suggesting that the maximum pharmacodynamic effect on the heart may not have occurred; the ECG 6 hours postdose shows new onset second degree or higher atrioventricular (AV) block. If postdose symptomatic bradycardia occurs, initiate appropriate management, begin continuous ECG monitoring, and continue monitoring until the symptoms have resolved if no pharmacological treatment is required. If pharmacological treatment is required, continue monitoring overnight and repeat 6-hour monitoring after the second dose. Overnight Monitoring Continuous overnight ECG monitoring in a medical facility should be instituted: in patients that require pharmacologic intervention for symptomatic bradycardia. In these patients, the first-dose monitoring strategy should be repeated after the second dose of Fingolimod Capsules; in patients with some preexisting heart and cerebrovascular conditions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] ; in patients with a prolonged QTc interval before dosing or during 6-hour observation, or at additional risk for QT prolongation, or on concurrent therapy with QT prolonging drugs with a known risk of torsades de pointes [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ), Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )]; in patients receiving concurrent therapy with drugs that slow heart rate or AV conduction [see Drug Interactions ( 7.5 )]. 2.5 Monitoring After Reinitiation of Therapy Following Discontinuation When restarting Fingolimod Capsules after discontinuation for more than 14 days after the first month of treatment, perform first-dose monitoring, because effects on heart rate and AV conduction may recur on reintroduction of Fingolimod Capsules treatment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )]. The same precautions (first-dose monitoring) as for initial dosing are applicable. Within the first 2 weeks of treatment, first-dose procedures are recommended after interruption of 1 day or more; during Weeks 3 and 4 of treatment, first-dose procedures are recommended after treatment interruption of more than 7 days.

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Fingolimod Capsules are indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease, in patients 10 years of age and older. Fingolimod Capsules are sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease, in patients 10 years of age and older.

10 OVERDOSAGE Fingolimod Capsules can induce bradycardia as well as AV conduction blocks (including complete AV block). The decline in heart rate usually starts within 1 hour of the first dose and is maximal within 6 hours in most patients [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . In case of Fingolimod Capsules overdosage, observe patients overnight with continuous ECG monitoring in a medical facility, and obtain regular measurements of blood pressure [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] . Neither dialysis nor plasma exchange results in removal of fingolimod from the body.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Systemic Ketoconazole: Monitor during concomitant use. ( 7.2 , 12.3 ) Vaccines: Avoid live attenuated vaccines during, and for 2 months after stopping Fingolimod treatment. ( 5.2 , 7.3 ) 7.1 QT Prolonging Drugs Fingolimod Capsules has not been studied in patients treated with drugs that prolong the QT interval. Drugs that prolong the QT interval have been associated with cases of torsades de pointes in patients with bradycardia. Since initiation of Fingolimod Capsules treatment results in decreased heart rate and may prolong the QT interval, patients on QT prolonging drugs with a known risk of torsades de pointes (e.g., citalopram, chlorpromazine, haloperidol, methadone, erythromycin) should be monitored overnight with continuous ECG in a medical facility [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . 7.2 Ketoconazole The blood levels of fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate are increased by 1.7-fold when used concomitantly with ketoconazole. Patients who use Fingolimod Capsules and systemic ketoconazole concomitantly should be closely monitored, as the risk of adverse reactions is greater. 7.3 Vaccines Fingolimod Capsules reduces the immune response to vaccination. Vaccination may be less effective during and for up to 2 months after discontinuation of treatment with Fingolimod Capsules [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . Avoid the use of live attenuated vaccines during and for 2 months after treatment with Fingolimod Capsules because of the risk of infection. It is recommended that pediatric patients, if possible, be brought up to date with all immunizations in agreement with current immunization guidelines prior to initiating Fingolimod Capsules therapy. 7.4 Antineoplastic, Immunosuppressive, or Immune-Modulating Therapies Antineoplastic, immune-modulating, or immunosuppressive therapies, (including corticosteroids) are expected to increase the risk of immunosuppression, and the risk of additive immune system effects must be considered if these therapies are coadministered with Fingolimod Capsules. When switching from drugs with prolonged immune effects, such as natalizumab, teriflunomide or mitoxantrone, the duration and mode of action of these drugs must be considered to avoid unintended additive immunosuppressive effects when initiating Fingolimod Capsules [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . 7.5 Drugs That Slow Heart Rate or Atrioventricular Conduction (e.g., beta blockers or diltiazem) Experience with Fingolimod Capsules in patients receiving concurrent therapy with drugs that slow the heart rate or AV conduction (e.g., beta blockers, digoxin, or heart rate-slowing calcium channel blockers, such as diltiazem or verapamil) is limited. Because initiation of Fingolimod Capsules treatment may result in an additional decrease in heart rate, concomitant use of these drugs during Fingolimod Capsules initiation may be associated with severe bradycardia or heart block. Seek advice from the physician prescribing these drugs regarding the possibility to switch to drugs that do not slow the heart rate or atrioventricular conduction before initiating Fingolimod Capsules. Patients who cannot switch should have overnight continuous ECG monitoring after the first dose [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . 7.6 Laboratory Test Interaction Because Fingolimod Capsules reduces blood lymphocyte counts via redistribution in secondary lymphoid organs, peripheral blood lymphocyte counts cannot be utilized to evaluate the lymphocyte subset status of a patient treated with Fingolimod Capsules. A recent CBC should be available before initiating treatment with Fingolimod Capsules.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Fingolimod is metabolized by sphingosine kinase to the active metabolite, fingolimod-phosphate. Fingolimod-phosphate is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator, and binds with high affinity to sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors 1, 3, 4, and 5. Fingolimod-phosphate blocks the capacity of lymphocytes to egress from lymph nodes, reducing the number of lymphocytes in peripheral blood. The mechanism by which fingolimod exerts therapeutic effects in multiple sclerosis is unknown, but may involve reduction of lymphocyte migration into the central nervous system. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Heart Rate and Rhythm Fingolimod causes a transient reduction in heart rate and AV conduction at treatment initiation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Heart rate progressively increases after the first day, returning to baseline values within 1 month of the start of chronic treatment. Autonomic responses of the heart, including diurnal variation of heart rate and response to exercise, are not affected by fingolimod treatment. Fingolimod treatment is not associated with a decrease in cardiac output. Potential to Prolong the QT Interval In a thorough QT interval study of doses of 1.25 or 2.5 mg fingolimod at steady-state, when a negative chronotropic effect of fingolimod was still present, fingolimod treatment resulted in a prolongation of QTc, with the upper boundary of the 90% confidence interval (CI) of 14 msec. There is no consistent signal of increased incidence of QTc outliers, either absolute or change from baseline, associated with fingolimod treatment. In MS studies, there was no clinically relevant prolongation of the QT interval, but patients at risk for QT prolongation were not included in clinical studies. Immune System Effects on Immune Cell Numbers in the Blood In a study in which 12 adult subjects received Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg daily, the lymphocyte count decreased to approximately 60% of baseline within 4 to 6 hours after the first dose. With continued daily dosing, the lymphocyte count continued to decrease over a 2-week period, reaching a nadir count of approximately 500 cells/mcL or approximately 30% of baseline. In a placebo-controlled study in 1272 MS patients (of whom 425 received fingolimod 0.5 mg daily and 418 received placebo), 18% (N = 78) of patients on fingolimod 0.5 mg reached a nadir of < 200 cells/mcL on at least 1 occasion. No patient on placebo reached a nadir of < 200 cells/mcL. Low lymphocyte counts are maintained with chronic daily dosing of Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg daily. Chronic fingolimod dosing leads to a mild decrease in the neutrophil count to approximately 80% of baseline. Monocytes are unaffected by fingolimod. Peripheral lymphocyte count increases are evident within days of stopping fingolimod treatment and typically normal counts are reached within 1 to 2 months. Effect on Antibody Response Fingolimod Capsules reduces the immune response to vaccination, as evaluated in 2 studies. In the first study, the immunogenicity of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV-23) immunization were assessed by IgM and IgG titers in a steady-state, randomized, placebo-controlled study in healthy adult volunteers. Compared to placebo, antigen-specific IgM titers were decreased by 91% and 25% in response to KLH and PPV-23, respectively, in subjects on Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg. Similarly, IgG titers were decreased by 45% and 50%, in response to KLH and PPV-23, respectively, in subjects on Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg daily compared to placebo. The responder rate for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg as measured by the number of subjects with a > 4-fold increase in KLH IgG was comparable to placebo and 25% lower for PPV-23 IgG, while the number of subjects with a > 4-fold increase in KLH and PPV-23 IgM was 75% and 40% lower, respectively, compared to placebo. The capacity to mount a skin delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to Candida and tetanus toxoid was decreased by approximately 30% in subjects on Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg daily, compared to placebo. Immunologic responses were further decreased with fingolimod 1.25 mg (a dose higher than recommended in MS) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . In the second study, the immunogenicity of Northern hemisphere seasonal influenza and tetanus toxoid vaccination was assessed in a 12-week steady-state, randomized, placebo-controlled study of Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg in adult multiple sclerosis patients (n = 136). The responder rate 3 weeks after vaccination, defined as seroconversion or a ≥ 4-fold increase in antibody directed against at least 1 of the 3 influenza strains, was 54% for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg and 85% in the placebo group. The responder rate 3 weeks after vaccination, defined as seroconversion or a ≥ 4-fold increase in antibody directed against tetanus toxoid was 40% for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg and 61% in the placebo group. Pulmonary Function Single fingolimod doses ≥ 5 mg (10-fold the recommended dose) are associated with a dose-dependent increase in airway resistance. In a 14-day study of 0.5, 1.25, or 5 mg/day, fingolimod was not associated with impaired oxygenation or oxygen desaturation with exercise or an increase in airway responsiveness to methacholine. Subjects on fingolimod treatment had a normal bronchodilator response to inhaled beta-agonists. In a 14-day placebo-controlled study of adult patients with moderate asthma, no effect was seen for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg (recommended dose in MS). A 10% reduction in mean FEV1 at 6 hours after dosing was observed in adult patients receiving fingolimod 1.25 mg (a dose higher than recommended for use in MS) on Day 10 of treatment. Fingolimod 1.25 mg was associated with a 5-fold increase in the use of rescue short-acting beta-agonists. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption The T max of fingolimod is 12 to 16 hours. The apparent absolute oral bioavailability is 93%. Food intake does not alter C max or (AUC) of fingolimod or fingolimod-phosphate. Therefore, Fingolimod Capsules may be taken without regard to meals. Steady-state blood concentrations are reached within 1 to 2 months following once-daily administration and steady-state levels are approximately 10-fold greater than with the initial dose. Distribution Fingolimod highly (86%) distributes in red blood cells. Fingolimod-phosphate has a smaller uptake in blood cells of < 17%. Fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate are > 99.7% protein bound. Fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate protein binding is not altered by renal or hepatic impairment. Fingolimod is extensively distributed to body tissues with a volume of distribution of about 1200 ± 260 L. Metabolism The biotransformation of fingolimod in humans occurs by 3 main pathways: by reversible stereoselective phosphorylation to the pharmacologically active (S)-enantiomer of fingolimod-phosphate, by oxidative biotransformation catalyzed mainly by the cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) and possibly other CYP4F isoenzymes with subsequent fatty acid-like degradation to inactive metabolites, and by formation of pharmacologically inactive non-polar ceramide analogs of fingolimod. Inhibitors or inducers of CYP4F2 and possibly other CYP4F isozymes might alter the exposure of fingolimod or fingolimod-phosphate. In vitro studies in hepatocytes indicated that CYP3A4 may contribute to fingolimod metabolism in the case of strong induction of CYP3A4. Following single oral administration of [ 14 C] fingolimod, the major fingolimod-related components in blood, as judged from their contribution to the AUC up to 816 hours post-dose of total radiolabeled components, are fingolimod itself (23.3%), fingolimod-phosphate (10.3%), and inactive metabolites [M3 carboxylic acid metabolite (8.3%), M29 ceramide metabolite (8.9%), and M30 ceramide metabolite (7.3%)]. Elimination Fingolimod blood clearance is 6.3 ± 2.3 L/h, and the average apparent terminal half-life (t 1/2 ) is 6 to 9 days. Blood levels of fingolimod-phosphate decline in parallel with those of fingolimod in the terminal phase, yielding similar half-lives for both. After oral administration, about 81% of the dose is slowly excreted in the urine as inactive metabolites. Fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate are not excreted intact in urine but are the major components in the feces with amounts of each representing less than 2.5% of the dose. Specific Populations Pediatric Patients The median fingolimod-phosphate (fingolimod-P) concentration in pediatric MS patients aged 10 to less than 18 years was 1.10 ng/mL, as compared to 1.35 ng/mL in adult MS patients. Geriatric Patients The mechanism for elimination and results from population pharmacokinetics suggest that dose adjustment would not be necessary in elderly patients. However, clinical experience in patients aged above 65 years is limited. Gender Gender has no clinically significant influence on fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate pharmacokinetics. Race The effects of race on fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate pharmacokinetics cannot be adequately assessed due to a low number of non-white patients in the clinical program. Renal Impairment In adult patients with severe renal impairment, fingolimod C max and AUC are increased by 32% and 43%, respectively, and fingolimod-phosphate C max and AUC are increased by 25% and 14%, respectively, with no change in apparent elimination half-life. Based on these findings, the Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg dose is appropriate for use in adult with renal impairment. Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg are appropriate for use in pediatric patients with renal impairment. The systemic exposure of 2 metabolites (M2 and M3) is increased by 3- and 13-fold, respectively. The toxicity of these metabolites has not been fully characterized. A study in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment has not been conducted. Hepatic Impairment In subjects with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A, B, and C), no change in fingolimod C max was observed, but fingolimod AUC 0-∞ was increased respectively by 12%, 44%, and 103%. In patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C), fingolimod-phosphate C max was decreased by 22% and AUC 0-96 hours was decreased by 29%. The pharmacokinetics of fingolimod-phosphate was not evaluated in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. The apparent elimination half-life of fingolimod is unchanged in subjects with mild hepatic impairment, but is prolonged by about 50% in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) should be closely monitored, as the risk of adverse reactions is greater [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . No dose adjustment is needed in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A and B). Drug Interactions Ketoconazole The coadministration of ketoconazole (a potent inhibitor of CYP3A and CYP4F) 200 mg twice-daily at steady-state and a single dose of fingolimod 5 mg led to a 70% increase in AUC of fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate. Patients who use Fingolimod Capsules and systemic ketoconazole concomitantly should be closely monitored, as the risk of adverse reactions is greater [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 )] . Carbamazepine The coadministration of carbamazepine (a potent CYP450 enzyme inducer) 600 mg twice-daily at steady-state and a single dose of fingolimod 2 mg decreased blood concentrations (AUC) of fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate by approximately 40%. The clinical impact of this decrease is unknown. Other strong CYP450 enzyme inducers, e.g., rifampicin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and St. John’s wort, may also reduce AUC of fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate. The clinical impact of this potential decrease is unknown. Potential of Fingolimod and Fingolimod-phosphate to Inhibit the Metabolism of Comedications In vitro inhibition studies using pooled human liver microsomes and specific metabolic probe substrates demonstrate that fingolimod has little or no capacity to inhibit the activity of the following CYP enzymes: CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4/5, or CYP4A9/11 (fingolimod only), and similarly fingolimod-phosphate has little or no capacity to inhibit the activity of CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4 at concentrations up to 3 orders of magnitude of therapeutic concentrations. Therefore, fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate are unlikely to reduce the clearance of drugs that are mainly cleared through metabolism by the major CYP isoenzymes described above. Potential of Fingolimod and Fingolimod-phosphate to Induce its Own and/or the Metabolism of Comedications Fingolimod was examined for its potential to induce human CYP3A4, CYP1A2, CYP4F2, and MDR1 (P-glycoprotein) mRNA and CYP3A, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP4F2 activity in primary human hepatocytes. Fingolimod did not induce mRNA or activity of the different CYP enzymes and MDR1 with respect to the vehicle control; therefore, no clinically relevant induction of the tested CYP enzymes or MDR1 by fingolimod are expected at therapeutic concentrations. Fingolimod-phosphate was also examined for its potential to induce mRNA and/or activity of human CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A, CYP4F2, CYP4F3B, and CYP4F12. Fingolimod-phosphate is not expected to have clinically significant induction effects on these enzymes at therapeutic doses of fingolimod. In vitro experiments did not provide an indication of CYP induction by fingolimod-phosphate. Transporters Based on in vitro data, fingolimod as well as fingolimod-phosphate are not expected to inhibit the uptake of comedications and/or biologics transported by the organic anion transporting polypeptides OATP1B1, OATP1B3, or the sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP). Similarly, they are not expected to inhibit the efflux of comedications and/or biologics transported by the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), the bile salt export pump (BSEP), the multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2), or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) at therapeutic concentrations. Oral Contraceptives The coadministration of fingolimod 0.5 mg daily with oral contraceptives (ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel) did not elicit any clinically significant change in oral contraceptives exposure. Fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate exposure were consistent with those from previous studies. No interaction studies have been performed with oral contraceptives containing other progestagens; however, an effect of fingolimod on their exposure is not expected. Cyclosporine The pharmacokinetics of single-dose fingolimod was not altered during coadministration with cyclosporine at steady-state, nor was cyclosporine steady-state pharmacokinetics altered by fingolimod. These data indicate that Fingolimod Capsules is unlikely to reduce or increase the clearance of drugs cleared mainly by CYP3A4. Potent inhibition of transporters MDR1 (P-gp), MRP2, and OATP-1B1 does not influence fingolimod disposition. Isoproterenol, Atropine, Atenolol, and Diltiazem Single-dose fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate exposure was not altered by coadministered isoproterenol or atropine. Likewise, the single-dose pharmacokinetics of fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate and the steady-state pharmacokinetics of both atenolol and diltiazem were unchanged during the coadministration of the latter 2 drugs individually with fingolimod. Population Pharmacokinetics Analysis A population pharmacokinetics evaluation performed in MS patients did not provide evidence for a significant effect of fluoxetine and paroxetine (strong CYP2D6 inhibitors) on fingolimod or fingolimod-phosphate predose concentrations. In addition, the following commonly coprescribed substances had no clinically relevant effect (< 20%) on fingolimod or fingolimod-phosphate predose concentrations: baclofen, gabapentin, oxybutynin, amantadine, modafinil, amitriptyline, pregabalin, and corticosteroids.

12.1 Mechanism of Action Fingolimod is metabolized by sphingosine kinase to the active metabolite, fingolimod-phosphate. Fingolimod-phosphate is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator, and binds with high affinity to sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors 1, 3, 4, and 5. Fingolimod-phosphate blocks the capacity of lymphocytes to egress from lymph nodes, reducing the number of lymphocytes in peripheral blood. The mechanism by which fingolimod exerts therapeutic effects in multiple sclerosis is unknown, but may involve reduction of lymphocyte migration into the central nervous system.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics Heart Rate and Rhythm Fingolimod causes a transient reduction in heart rate and AV conduction at treatment initiation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Heart rate progressively increases after the first day, returning to baseline values within 1 month of the start of chronic treatment. Autonomic responses of the heart, including diurnal variation of heart rate and response to exercise, are not affected by fingolimod treatment. Fingolimod treatment is not associated with a decrease in cardiac output. Potential to Prolong the QT Interval In a thorough QT interval study of doses of 1.25 or 2.5 mg fingolimod at steady-state, when a negative chronotropic effect of fingolimod was still present, fingolimod treatment resulted in a prolongation of QTc, with the upper boundary of the 90% confidence interval (CI) of 14 msec. There is no consistent signal of increased incidence of QTc outliers, either absolute or change from baseline, associated with fingolimod treatment. In MS studies, there was no clinically relevant prolongation of the QT interval, but patients at risk for QT prolongation were not included in clinical studies. Immune System Effects on Immune Cell Numbers in the Blood In a study in which 12 adult subjects received Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg daily, the lymphocyte count decreased to approximately 60% of baseline within 4 to 6 hours after the first dose. With continued daily dosing, the lymphocyte count continued to decrease over a 2-week period, reaching a nadir count of approximately 500 cells/mcL or approximately 30% of baseline. In a placebo-controlled study in 1272 MS patients (of whom 425 received fingolimod 0.5 mg daily and 418 received placebo), 18% (N = 78) of patients on fingolimod 0.5 mg reached a nadir of < 200 cells/mcL on at least 1 occasion. No patient on placebo reached a nadir of < 200 cells/mcL. Low lymphocyte counts are maintained with chronic daily dosing of Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg daily. Chronic fingolimod dosing leads to a mild decrease in the neutrophil count to approximately 80% of baseline. Monocytes are unaffected by fingolimod. Peripheral lymphocyte count increases are evident within days of stopping fingolimod treatment and typically normal counts are reached within 1 to 2 months. Effect on Antibody Response Fingolimod Capsules reduces the immune response to vaccination, as evaluated in 2 studies. In the first study, the immunogenicity of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV-23) immunization were assessed by IgM and IgG titers in a steady-state, randomized, placebo-controlled study in healthy adult volunteers. Compared to placebo, antigen-specific IgM titers were decreased by 91% and 25% in response to KLH and PPV-23, respectively, in subjects on Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg. Similarly, IgG titers were decreased by 45% and 50%, in response to KLH and PPV-23, respectively, in subjects on Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg daily compared to placebo. The responder rate for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg as measured by the number of subjects with a > 4-fold increase in KLH IgG was comparable to placebo and 25% lower for PPV-23 IgG, while the number of subjects with a > 4-fold increase in KLH and PPV-23 IgM was 75% and 40% lower, respectively, compared to placebo. The capacity to mount a skin delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to Candida and tetanus toxoid was decreased by approximately 30% in subjects on Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg daily, compared to placebo. Immunologic responses were further decreased with fingolimod 1.25 mg (a dose higher than recommended in MS) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . In the second study, the immunogenicity of Northern hemisphere seasonal influenza and tetanus toxoid vaccination was assessed in a 12-week steady-state, randomized, placebo-controlled study of Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg in adult multiple sclerosis patients (n = 136). The responder rate 3 weeks after vaccination, defined as seroconversion or a ≥ 4-fold increase in antibody directed against at least 1 of the 3 influenza strains, was 54% for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg and 85% in the placebo group. The responder rate 3 weeks after vaccination, defined as seroconversion or a ≥ 4-fold increase in antibody directed against tetanus toxoid was 40% for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg and 61% in the placebo group. Pulmonary Function Single fingolimod doses ≥ 5 mg (10-fold the recommended dose) are associated with a dose-dependent increase in airway resistance. In a 14-day study of 0.5, 1.25, or 5 mg/day, fingolimod was not associated with impaired oxygenation or oxygen desaturation with exercise or an increase in airway responsiveness to methacholine. Subjects on fingolimod treatment had a normal bronchodilator response to inhaled beta-agonists. In a 14-day placebo-controlled study of adult patients with moderate asthma, no effect was seen for Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg (recommended dose in MS). A 10% reduction in mean FEV1 at 6 hours after dosing was observed in adult patients receiving fingolimod 1.25 mg (a dose higher than recommended for use in MS) on Day 10 of treatment. Fingolimod 1.25 mg was associated with a 5-fold increase in the use of rescue short-acting beta-agonists.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption The T max of fingolimod is 12 to 16 hours. The apparent absolute oral bioavailability is 93%. Food intake does not alter C max or (AUC) of fingolimod or fingolimod-phosphate. Therefore, Fingolimod Capsules may be taken without regard to meals. Steady-state blood concentrations are reached within 1 to 2 months following once-daily administration and steady-state levels are approximately 10-fold greater than with the initial dose. Distribution Fingolimod highly (86%) distributes in red blood cells. Fingolimod-phosphate has a smaller uptake in blood cells of < 17%. Fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate are > 99.7% protein bound. Fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate protein binding is not altered by renal or hepatic impairment. Fingolimod is extensively distributed to body tissues with a volume of distribution of about 1200 ± 260 L. Metabolism The biotransformation of fingolimod in humans occurs by 3 main pathways: by reversible stereoselective phosphorylation to the pharmacologically active (S)-enantiomer of fingolimod-phosphate, by oxidative biotransformation catalyzed mainly by the cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) and possibly other CYP4F isoenzymes with subsequent fatty acid-like degradation to inactive metabolites, and by formation of pharmacologically inactive non-polar ceramide analogs of fingolimod. Inhibitors or inducers of CYP4F2 and possibly other CYP4F isozymes might alter the exposure of fingolimod or fingolimod-phosphate. In vitro studies in hepatocytes indicated that CYP3A4 may contribute to fingolimod metabolism in the case of strong induction of CYP3A4. Following single oral administration of [ 14 C] fingolimod, the major fingolimod-related components in blood, as judged from their contribution to the AUC up to 816 hours post-dose of total radiolabeled components, are fingolimod itself (23.3%), fingolimod-phosphate (10.3%), and inactive metabolites [M3 carboxylic acid metabolite (8.3%), M29 ceramide metabolite (8.9%), and M30 ceramide metabolite (7.3%)]. Elimination Fingolimod blood clearance is 6.3 ± 2.3 L/h, and the average apparent terminal half-life (t 1/2 ) is 6 to 9 days. Blood levels of fingolimod-phosphate decline in parallel with those of fingolimod in the terminal phase, yielding similar half-lives for both. After oral administration, about 81% of the dose is slowly excreted in the urine as inactive metabolites. Fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate are not excreted intact in urine but are the major components in the feces with amounts of each representing less than 2.5% of the dose. Specific Populations Pediatric Patients The median fingolimod-phosphate (fingolimod-P) concentration in pediatric MS patients aged 10 to less than 18 years was 1.10 ng/mL, as compared to 1.35 ng/mL in adult MS patients. Geriatric Patients The mechanism for elimination and results from population pharmacokinetics suggest that dose adjustment would not be necessary in elderly patients. However, clinical experience in patients aged above 65 years is limited. Gender Gender has no clinically significant influence on fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate pharmacokinetics. Race The effects of race on fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate pharmacokinetics cannot be adequately assessed due to a low number of non-white patients in the clinical program. Renal Impairment In adult patients with severe renal impairment, fingolimod C max and AUC are increased by 32% and 43%, respectively, and fingolimod-phosphate C max and AUC are increased by 25% and 14%, respectively, with no change in apparent elimination half-life. Based on these findings, the Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg dose is appropriate for use in adult with renal impairment. Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg are appropriate for use in pediatric patients with renal impairment. The systemic exposure of 2 metabolites (M2 and M3) is increased by 3- and 13-fold, respectively. The toxicity of these metabolites has not been fully characterized. A study in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment has not been conducted. Hepatic Impairment In subjects with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A, B, and C), no change in fingolimod C max was observed, but fingolimod AUC 0-∞ was increased respectively by 12%, 44%, and 103%. In patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C), fingolimod-phosphate C max was decreased by 22% and AUC 0-96 hours was decreased by 29%. The pharmacokinetics of fingolimod-phosphate was not evaluated in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. The apparent elimination half-life of fingolimod is unchanged in subjects with mild hepatic impairment, but is prolonged by about 50% in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) should be closely monitored, as the risk of adverse reactions is greater [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . No dose adjustment is needed in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A and B). Drug Interactions Ketoconazole The coadministration of ketoconazole (a potent inhibitor of CYP3A and CYP4F) 200 mg twice-daily at steady-state and a single dose of fingolimod 5 mg led to a 70% increase in AUC of fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate. Patients who use Fingolimod Capsules and systemic ketoconazole concomitantly should be closely monitored, as the risk of adverse reactions is greater [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 )] . Carbamazepine The coadministration of carbamazepine (a potent CYP450 enzyme inducer) 600 mg twice-daily at steady-state and a single dose of fingolimod 2 mg decreased blood concentrations (AUC) of fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate by approximately 40%. The clinical impact of this decrease is unknown. Other strong CYP450 enzyme inducers, e.g., rifampicin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and St. John’s wort, may also reduce AUC of fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate. The clinical impact of this potential decrease is unknown. Potential of Fingolimod and Fingolimod-phosphate to Inhibit the Metabolism of Comedications In vitro inhibition studies using pooled human liver microsomes and specific metabolic probe substrates demonstrate that fingolimod has little or no capacity to inhibit the activity of the following CYP enzymes: CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4/5, or CYP4A9/11 (fingolimod only), and similarly fingolimod-phosphate has little or no capacity to inhibit the activity of CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4 at concentrations up to 3 orders of magnitude of therapeutic concentrations. Therefore, fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate are unlikely to reduce the clearance of drugs that are mainly cleared through metabolism by the major CYP isoenzymes described above. Potential of Fingolimod and Fingolimod-phosphate to Induce its Own and/or the Metabolism of Comedications Fingolimod was examined for its potential to induce human CYP3A4, CYP1A2, CYP4F2, and MDR1 (P-glycoprotein) mRNA and CYP3A, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP4F2 activity in primary human hepatocytes. Fingolimod did not induce mRNA or activity of the different CYP enzymes and MDR1 with respect to the vehicle control; therefore, no clinically relevant induction of the tested CYP enzymes or MDR1 by fingolimod are expected at therapeutic concentrations. Fingolimod-phosphate was also examined for its potential to induce mRNA and/or activity of human CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A, CYP4F2, CYP4F3B, and CYP4F12. Fingolimod-phosphate is not expected to have clinically significant induction effects on these enzymes at therapeutic doses of fingolimod. In vitro experiments did not provide an indication of CYP induction by fingolimod-phosphate. Transporters Based on in vitro data, fingolimod as well as fingolimod-phosphate are not expected to inhibit the uptake of comedications and/or biologics transported by the organic anion transporting polypeptides OATP1B1, OATP1B3, or the sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP).

Oral Contraceptives The coadministration of fingolimod 0.5 mg daily with oral contraceptives (ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel) did not elicit any clinically significant change in oral contraceptives exposure. Fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate exposure were consistent with those from previous studies. No interaction studies have been performed with oral contraceptives containing other progestagens; however, an effect of fingolimod on their exposure is not expected. Cyclosporine The pharmacokinetics of single-dose fingolimod was not altered during coadministration with cyclosporine at steady-state, nor was cyclosporine steady-state pharmacokinetics altered by fingolimod. These data indicate that Fingolimod Capsules is unlikely to reduce or increase the clearance of drugs cleared mainly by CYP3A4. Potent inhibition of transporters MDR1 (P-gp), MRP2, and OATP-1B1 does not influence fingolimod disposition. Isoproterenol, Atropine, Atenolol, and Diltiazem Single-dose fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate exposure was not altered by coadministered isoproterenol or atropine. Likewise, the single-dose pharmacokinetics of fingolimod and fingolimod-phosphate and the steady-state pharmacokinetics of both atenolol and diltiazem were unchanged during the coadministration of the latter 2 drugs individually with fingolimod. Population Pharmacokinetics Analysis A population pharmacokinetics evaluation performed in MS patients did not provide evidence for a significant effect of fluoxetine and paroxetine (strong CYP2D6 inhibitors) on fingolimod or fingolimod-phosphate predose concentrations.

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology Lung toxicity was observed in 2 different strains of rats and in dogs and monkeys. The primary findings included increase in lung weight, associated with smooth muscle hypertrophy, hyperdistention of the alveoli, and/or increased collagen. Insufficient or lack of pulmonary collapse at necropsy, generally correlated with microscopic changes, was observed in all species. In rats and monkeys, lung toxicity was observed at all oral doses tested in chronic studies. The lowest doses tested in rats (0.05 mg/kg/day in the 2-year carcinogenicity study) and monkeys (0.5 mg/kg/day in the 39-week toxicity study) are similar to and approximately 20 times the RHD on a mg/m 2 basis, respectively. In the 52-week oral study in monkeys, respiratory distress associated with ketamine administration was observed at doses of 3 and 10 mg/kg/day; the most affected animal became hypoxic and required oxygenation. As ketamine is not generally associated with respiratory depression, this effect was attributed to fingolimod. In a subsequent study in rats, ketamine was shown to potentiate the bronchoconstrictive effects of fingolimod. The relevance of these findings to humans is unknown.

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Oral carcinogenicity studies of fingolimod were conducted in mice and rats. In mice, fingolimod was administered at oral doses of 0, 0.025, 0.25, and 2.5 mg/kg/day for up to 2 years. The incidence of malignant lymphoma was increased in males and females at the mid and high dose. The lowest dose tested (0.025 mg/kg/day) is less than the RHD of 0.5 mg/day on a body surface area (mg/m 2 ) basis. In rats, fingolimod was administered at oral doses of 0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.5, and 2.5 mg/kg/day. No increase in tumors was observed. The highest dose tested (2.5 mg/kg/day) is approximately 50 times the RHD on a mg/m 2 basis. Fingolimod was negative in a battery of in vitro (Ames, mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase, chromosomal aberration in mammalian cells) and in vivo (micronucleus in mouse and rat) assays. When fingolimod was administered orally (0, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg/day) to male and female rats prior to and during mating, and continuing to Day 7 of gestation in females, no effect on fertility was observed up to the highest dose tested (10 mg/kg), which is approximately 200 times the RHD on a mg/m 2 basis.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Oral carcinogenicity studies of fingolimod were conducted in mice and rats. In mice, fingolimod was administered at oral doses of 0, 0.025, 0.25, and 2.5 mg/kg/day for up to 2 years.

MEDICATION GUIDE Fingolimod (fin-GOL-i-mod) Capsules Read this Medication Guide before you start taking Fingolimod Capsules and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. If you are the parent of a child who is being treated with Fingolimod Capsules, the following information applies to your child. This information does not take the place of talking to your doctor about your medical condition or your treatment. What is the most important information I should know about Fingolimod Capsules? Fingolimod Capsules may cause serious side effects, including: 1. Slow heart rate (bradycardia or bradyarrhythmia) when you start taking Fingolimod Capsules. Fingolimod Capsules can cause your heart rate to slow down, especially after you take your first dose. You will have a test, called an electrocardiogram (ECG), to check the electrical activity of your heart before you take your first dose of Fingolimod Capsules. All adults and children will be observed by a healthcare professional for at least 6 hours after taking their first dose of Fingolimod Capsules. Children should also be observed by a healthcare professional for at least 6 hours after taking their first dose of 0.5 mg of Fingolimod Capsules when switching from the 0.25 mg dose. After you take your first dose of Fingolimod Capsules, and after a child takes their first dose of 0.5 mg of Fingolimod Capsules when switching from the 0.25 mg dose: Your pulse and blood pressure should be checked every hour. You should be observed by a healthcare professional to see if you have any serious side effects. If your heart rate slows down too much, you may have symptoms, such as: dizziness tiredness feeling like your heart is beating slowly or skipping beats chest pain If you have any of the symptoms of slow heart rate, they will usually happen during the first 6 hours after your first dose of Fingolimod Capsules. Symptoms can happen up to 24 hours after you take your first Fingolimod Capsules dose. 6 hours after you take your first dose of Fingolimod Capsules you will have another ECG. If your ECG shows any heart problems or if your heart rate is still too low or continues to decrease, you will continue to be observed. If you have any serious side effects after your first dose of Fingolimod Capsules, especially those that require treatment with other medicines, you will stay in the medical facility to be observed overnight. You will also be observed for any serious side effects for at least 6 hours after you take your second dose of Fingolimod Capsules the next day. If you have certain types of heart problems, or if you are taking certain types of medicines that can affect your heart, you will be observed overnight after you take your first dose of Fingolimod Capsules.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Adults The efficacy of Fingolimod Capsules was demonstrated in 2 studies that evaluated once-daily doses of Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg and 1.25 mg in patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). Both studies included patients who had experienced at least 2 clinical relapses during the 2 years prior to randomization or at least 1 clinical relapse during the 1 year prior to randomization, and had an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score from 0 to 5.5. Study 1 was a 2-year randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with RRMS who had not received any interferon-beta or glatiramer acetate for at least the previous 3 months and had not received any natalizumab for at least the previous 6 months. Neurological evaluations were performed at screening, every 3 months and at time of suspected relapse. MRI evaluations were performed at screening, Month 6, Month 12, and Month 24. The primary endpoint was the annualized relapse rate. Median age was 37 years, median disease duration was 6.7 years and median EDSS score at baseline was 2. Patients were randomized to receive Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg (N = 425), 1.25 mg (N = 429), or placebo (N = 418) for up to 24 months. Median time on study drug was 717 days on 0.5 mg, 715 days on 1.25 mg, and 719 days on placebo. The annualized relapse rate was significantly lower in patients treated with Fingolimod Capsules than in patients who received placebo. The secondary endpoint was the time to 3-month confirmed disability progression as measured by at least a 1-point increase from baseline in EDSS (0.5-point increase for patients with baseline EDSS of 5.5) sustained for 3 months. Time to onset of 3-month confirmed disability progression was significantly delayed with Fingolimod Capsules treatment compared to placebo. The 1.25 mg dose resulted in no additional benefit over the Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg dose. The results for this study are shown in Table 2 and Figure 1. Table 2: Clinical and MRI Results of Study 1 Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg N = 425 Placebo N = 418 p-value Clinical endpoints Annualized relapse rate (primary endpoint) 0.18 0.40 < 0.001 Percentage of patients without relapse 70% 46% < 0.001 Hazard ratio ‡ of disability progression (95% CI) 0.70 (0.52, 0.96) 0.02 MRI endpoint Mean (median) number of new or newly enlarging T2 lesions over 24 months 2.5 (0) 9.8 (5.0) < 0.001 Mean (median) number of T1 Gd-enhancing lesions at Month 24 0.2 (0) 1.1 (0) < 0.001 Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval. All analyses of clinical endpoints were intent-to-treat. MRI analysis used evaluable dataset. ‡ Hazard ratio is an estimate of the relative risk of having the event of disability progression on Fingolimod Capsules as compared to placebo. Figure 1: Time to 3-Month Confirmed Disability Progression – Study 1 (ITT population) Study 2 was a 1-year randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled study in patients with RRMS who had not received any natalizumab in the previous 6 months. Prior therapy with interferon-beta or glatiramer acetate up to the time of randomization was permitted. Neurological evaluations were performed at screening, every 3 months, and at the time of suspected relapses. MRI evaluations were performed at screening and at Month 12. The primary endpoint was the annualized relapse rate. Median age was 36 years, median disease duration was 5.9 years, and median EDSS score at baseline was 2. Patients were randomized to receive Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg (N = 431), 1.25 mg (N = 426), or interferon beta-1a, 30 mcg via the intramuscular route (IM) once-weekly (N = 435) for up to 12 months. Median time on study drug was 365 days on Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg, 354 days on 1.25 mg, and 361 days on interferon beta-1a IM. The annualized relapse rate was significantly lower in patients treated with Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg than in patients who received interferon beta-1a IM. The key secondary endpoints were number of new and newly enlarging T2 lesions and time to onset of 3-month confirmed disability progression as measured by at least a 1-point increase from baseline in EDSS (0.5-point increase for those with baseline EDSS of 5.5) sustained for 3 months. The number of new and newly enlarging T2 lesions was significantly lower in patients treated with Fingolimod Capsules than in patients who received interferon beta-1a IM. There was no significant difference in the time to 3-month confirmed disability progression between Fingolimod Capsules and interferon beta-1a-treated patients at 1 year. The 1.25 mg dose resulted in no additional benefit over the Fingolimod Capsules 0.5 mg dose. The results for this study are shown in Table 3.

All analyses of clinical endpoints were intent-to-treat. MRI analysis used evaluable dataset. ‡ Hazard ratio is an estimate of the relative risk of having the event of disability progression on Fingolimod Capsules as compared to control. Pooled results of study 1 and study 2 showed a consistent and statistically significant reduction of annualized relapse rate compared to comparator in subgroups defined by gender, age, prior MS therapy, and disease activity. Figure 1 Time to 3-month Confirmed Disability Progression – Study 1 (ITT population) 14.2 Pediatric Patients (10 to less than 18 Years of Age) Study 4 (NCT 01892722) evaluated the efficacy of once-daily oral doses of fingolimod 0.25 mg or fingolimod 0.5 mg in pediatric patients 10 to less than 18 years of age with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Study 4 was a 215-patient, double-blind, randomized, clinical trial that compared fingolimod to intramuscular interferon beta-1a. Prior therapy with interferon-beta, dimethyl fumarate, or glatiramer acetate up to the time of randomization was permitted. The study included patients who had experienced at least 1 clinical relapse during the year prior or 2 relapses during the 2 years prior to screening, or evidence of 1 or more Gd-enhancing lesions on MRI within 6 months prior to randomization, and had an EDSS score from 0 to 5.5. Neurological evaluations were scheduled at screening, every 3 months, and at the time of suspected relapses. MRI evaluations were performed at screening and every 6 months throughout the study. The primary endpoint was the annualized relapse rate. At baseline, the median age was 16 years, median disease duration since first symptom was 1.5 years, and median EDSS score was 1.5. One patient received no study drug and is excluded from the analysis of efficacy. Median duration of exposure to study drug was 634 days in the fingolimod group (n = 107) and 547 days in the interferon beta-1a group (n = 107). In the fingolimod group, 6.5% of patients did not complete the study, compared to 18.5% in the interferon beta-1a group. The primary endpoint, the annualized relapse rate (ARR), was significantly lower in patients treated with fingolimod (0.122) than in patients who received interferon beta-1a (0.675). Relative reduction in ARR was 81.9%. The annualized rate of the number of new or newly enlarged T2 lesions up to Month 24 (key secondary endpoint) was significantly lower in patients treated with fingolimod, as was the number of Gd-enhancing T1 lesions per scan up to Month 24. Table 4 summarizes the results of Study 4.

8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical MS studies of Fingolimod Capsules did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently than younger patients. Fingolimod Capsules should be used with caution in patients aged 65 years and over, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, or renal, function and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of Fingolimod Capsules for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis in pediatric patients 10 to less than 18 years of age were established in one randomized, double-blind clinical study in 215 patients (Fingolimod Capsules n = 107; intramuscular interferon (IFN) beta-1a n = 108) [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. In the controlled pediatric study, the safety profile in pediatric patients (10 to less than 18 years of age) receiving Fingolimod Capsules 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg daily was similar to that seen in adult patients. In the pediatric study, cases of seizures were reported in 5.6% of fingolimod-treated patients and 0.9% of interferon beta-1a-treated patients. It is recommended that pediatric patients, if possible, complete all immunizations in accordance with current immunization guidelines prior to initiating Fingolimod Capsules therapy. Safety and effectiveness of Fingolimod Capsules in pediatric patients below the age of 10 years have not been established. Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data In a study in which fingolimod (0.3, 1.5, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to young rats from weaning through sexual maturity, changes in bone mineral density and persistent neurobehavioral impairment (altered auditory startle) were observed at all doses. Delayed sexual maturation was noted in females at the highest dose tested and in males at all doses. The bone changes observed in fingolimod-treated juvenile rats are consistent with a reported role of S1P in the regulation of bone mineral homeostasis. When fingolimod (0.5 or 5 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats from the neonatal period through sexual maturity, a marked decrease in T-cell dependent antibody response was observed at both doses. This effect had not fully recovered by 6 to 8 weeks after the end of treatment. Overall, a no-effect dose for adverse developmental effects in juvenile animals was not identified.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies, Fingolimod Capsules may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Data from prospective reports to the Gilenya Pregnancy Registry (GPR) are currently not sufficient to allow for an adequate assessment of the drug-associated risk for birth defects and miscarriage in humans. In oral studies conducted in rats and rabbits, fingolimod demonstrated developmental toxicity, including an increase in malformations (rats) and embryolethality, when given to pregnant animals. In rats, the highest no-effect dose was less than the recommended human dose of 0.5 mg/day on a body surface area (mg/m 2 ) basis. The most common fetal visceral malformations in rats were persistent truncus arteriosus and ventricular septal defect. The receptor affected by fingolimod (sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor) is known to be involved in vascular formation during embryogenesis (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the US 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. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. Clinical Considerations In females planning to become pregnant, Fingolimod Capsules should be stopped 2 months before planned conception. The possibility of severe increase in disability should be considered in women who discontinue or are considering discontinuation of Fingolimod Capsules because of pregnancy or planned pregnancy. In many of the cases in which increase in disability was reported after stopping Fingolimod Capsules, patients had stopped Fingolimod Capsules because of pregnancy or planned pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )] . Data Animal Data When fingolimod was orally administered to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis (0, 0.03, 0.1, and 0.3 mg/kg/day or 0, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg/day), increased incidences of fetal malformations and embryofetal deaths were observed at all but the lowest dose tested (0.03 mg/kg/day), which is less than the recommended human dose (RHD) on a mg/m 2 basis. Oral administration to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis (0, 0.5, 1.5, and 5 mg/kg/day) resulted in increased incidences of embryofetal mortality and fetal growth retardation at the mid and high doses. The no-effect dose for these effects in rabbits (0.5 mg/kg/day) is approximately 20 times the RHD on a mg/m 2 basis. When fingolimod was orally administered to female rats during pregnancy and lactation (0, 0.05, 0.15, and 0.5 mg/kg/day), pup survival was decreased at all doses and a neurobehavioral (learning) deficit was seen in offspring at the high dose. The low-effect dose of 0.05 mg/kg/day is similar to the RHD on a mg/m 2 basis.

The low-effect dose of 0.05 mg/kg/day is similar to the RHD on a mg/m 2 basis. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of fingolimod in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. Fingolimod is excreted in the milk of 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 Fingolimod Capsules and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Fingolimod Capsules or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing The pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential should be verified prior to starting treatment with Fingolimod Capsules [ see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Contraception Before initiation of Fingolimod Capsules treatment, females of reproductive potential should be counseled on the potential for a serious risk to the fetus and the need for effective contraception during treatment with Fingolimod Capsules [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Since it takes approximately 2 months to eliminate the compound from the body after stopping treatment, the potential risk to the fetus may persist and women should use effective contraception during this period [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 , 5.13 )] . 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of Fingolimod Capsules for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis in pediatric patients 10 to less than 18 years of age were established in one randomized, double-blind clinical study in 215 patients (Fingolimod Capsules n = 107; intramuscular interferon (IFN) beta-1a n = 108) [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. In the controlled pediatric study, the safety profile in pediatric patients (10 to less than 18 years of age) receiving Fingolimod Capsules 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg daily was similar to that seen in adult patients. In the pediatric study, cases of seizures were reported in 5.6% of fingolimod-treated patients and 0.9% of interferon beta-1a-treated patients. It is recommended that pediatric patients, if possible, complete all immunizations in accordance with current immunization guidelines prior to initiating Fingolimod Capsules therapy. Safety and effectiveness of Fingolimod Capsules in pediatric patients below the age of 10 years have not been established. Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data In a study in which fingolimod (0.3, 1.5, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to young rats from weaning through sexual maturity, changes in bone mineral density and persistent neurobehavioral impairment (altered auditory startle) were observed at all doses. Delayed sexual maturation was noted in females at the highest dose tested and in males at all doses. The bone changes observed in fingolimod-treated juvenile rats are consistent with a reported role of S1P in the regulation of bone mineral homeostasis. When fingolimod (0.5 or 5 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats from the neonatal period through sexual maturity, a marked decrease in T-cell dependent antibody response was observed at both doses. This effect had not fully recovered by 6 to 8 weeks after the end of treatment. Overall, a no-effect dose for adverse developmental effects in juvenile animals was not identified. 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical MS studies of Fingolimod Capsules did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently than younger patients. Fingolimod Capsules should be used with caution in patients aged 65 years and over, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, or renal, function and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment Because fingolimod, but not fingolimod-phosphate, exposure is doubled in patients with severe hepatic impairment, patients with severe hepatic impairment should be closely monitored, as the risk of adverse reactions may be greater [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. No dose adjustment is needed in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. 8.7 Renal Impairment The blood level of some Fingolimod Capsules metabolites is increased (up to 13-fold) in patients with severe renal impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . The toxicity of these metabolites has not been fully explored. The blood level of these metabolites has not been assessed in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment.
