6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the label: Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis Suppression and Other Adverse Endocrine Effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Allergic Contact Dermatitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] The most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥1%) are application site pain and headache. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Mayne Pharma at 1-844-825-8500 or contact FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In randomized, multicenter, vehicle-controlled clinical trials, 351 adults with plaque psoriasis were treated with LEXETTE twice daily for up to two weeks (up to approximately 50 grams per week). Table 1 presents selected adverse reactions that occurred in at least 1% of subjects. Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥ 1% of Subjects through Week 2 HBP Foam N=351 Vehicle Foam N=353 Adverse Reaction % % Application site burning/stinging 12% 15% Application site pain 1% <1% Headache 1% <1% Skin atrophy (n=1) and telangiectasia (n=2) were reported with LEXETTE, but not with vehicle foam. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience Because the 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. The following local adverse reactions have been reported with topical corticosteroids: folliculitis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, secondary infection, irritation, striae, and miliaria. They may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings and higher potency corticosteroids, such as halobetasol propionate.

11 DESCRIPTION LEXETTE is a hydroethanolic aerosol foam that contains a corticosteroid, halobetasol propionate intended for topical use. The chemical name of halobetasol propionate is 21-chloro-6α, 9-difluoro-11β, 17-dihydroxy-16β-methylpregna-1, 4-diene-3,20-dione 17-propionate. Halobetasol propionate is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 484.96 and a molecular formula of C 25 H 31 ClF 2 O 5 . It has the following structural formula: It is practically insoluble in water and freely soluble in dichloromethane and in acetone. Each gram of LEXETTE contains 0.5 mg of halobetasol propionate in a white to off-white foam base consisting of alcohol (specially denatured alcohol [SDA]), benzoic acid, cetostearyl alcohol, emulsifying wax, polyoxyl 20 cetostearyl ether, propylene glycol and purified water. LEXETTE is dispensed from an aluminum can pressurized with a hydrocarbon (isobutane and propane) propellant. Chemical Structure

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Shake can prior to use. Apply LEXETTE as a thin uniform film to the affected skin twice daily for up to two weeks. Rub in gently. Wash hands after applying the product. Discontinue therapy when control is achieved. If no improvement is seen within two weeks, reassessment of the diagnosis may be necessary. Treatment beyond two weeks is not recommended and the total dosage should not exceed 50 grams per week because of the potential for the drug to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Do not use with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician. Avoid use on the face, groin, or axillae. Avoid contact with eyes. LEXETTE is for topical use only. LEXETTE is not for ophthalmic, oral, or intravaginal use. Shake before use. ( 2 ) Apply LEXETTE as a thin uniform film to the affected skin twice daily for up to two weeks. Rub in gently. ( 2 ) Do not use more than 50 grams per week. ( 2 ) Discontinue LEXETTE when control is achieved. ( 2 ) If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassess diagnosis. ( 2 ) Treatment beyond 2 consecutive weeks is not recommended. ( 2 ) Do not use with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician. ( 2 ) Avoid use on the face, groin, or axillae.

10 OVERDOSAGE Topically applied LEXETTE can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to produce systemic effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Corticosteroids play a role in cellular signaling, immune function, inflammation, and protein regulation; however, the precise mechanism of action in plaque psoriasis is unknown. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Vasoconstrictor Assay A vasoconstrictor assay in healthy patients with LEXETTE indicated that the formulation is in the super-high range of potency as compared to other topical corticosteroids; however, similar blanching scores do not necessarily imply therapeutic equivalence. Hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis suppression The potential for hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis (HPA-axis) suppression was evaluated in the following two studies. In both studies, the criteria for HPA-axis suppression was a serum cortisol level of less than or equal to 18 micrograms per deciliter 30 minutes after stimulation with cosyntropin (adrenocorticotropic hormone, ACTH). In the first study, LEXETTE was applied to 25 adult subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis involving a mean body surface area of 18.4%. A mean dose of 3.7 g of LEXETTE was applied twice daily for two weeks and produced laboratory evidence of HPA axis suppression in 6 of 25 (24%) subjects. All subjects returned to normal HPA axis function at follow-up at least 4 weeks after stopping the treatment. In the second study, LEXETTE was applied to 24 subjects 12 to less than 18 years of age with stable plaque psoriasis with a mean percent BSA of 15.1% (range of 11% to 23%). The mean dose of LEXETTE used was 3.1 grams, which was applied twice daily for two weeks. In the study, 24 subjects completed the study, and 23 subjects had evaluable ACTH stimulation tests. HPA axis suppression was observed in 6 of the 23 subjects (26.1%), and all subjects returned to normal HPA axis function at follow-up at least 4 weeks after stopping the treatment. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors, including the vehicle, the integrity of the epidermal barrier, and the use of occlusive dressings. Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin may increase percutaneous absorption. In the HPA-axis and pharmacokinetic study, as described above in Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) , pharmacokinetics was evaluated in a subgroup of 23 adult subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis following twice daily treatment for 14 days. Plasma concentration of halobetasol propionate (HBP) was measurable in all subjects and steady state was achieved by Day 14. The mean (± standard deviation) C max concentration for HBP on Day 14 was 199.7 ± 217.3 pg/mL, with the corresponding median T max value of 1 hour (range 0 – 12 hours); mean area under the halobetasol propionate concentration versus time curve over the dosing interval (AUC t ) was 1434.9 ± 1310.6 pg∙h/mL. In the HPA axis study in subjects 12 to less than 18 years [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] , trough plasma concentrations of HBP were measured on Day 8 and Day 15 in 23 subjects following twice daily treatment for 14 days. On Day 8, nine (9) of the 23 evaluable subjects had morning trough concentrations of halobetasol propionate in plasma that were above the quantifiable limit (≥20.0 pg/mL); mean halobetasol concentration was 154.6 ± 308.67 pg/mL. Similarly, on Day 15, nine (9) of the 23 evaluable subjects had morning trough concentrations of halobetasol propionate above the quantifiable limit; mean halobetasol concentration was 59.9 ± 90.15 pg/mL. Of the 9 subjects with quantifiable plasma concentrations at Day 15, seven (7) also had quantifiable plasma concentrations at Day 8.

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Long-term animal studies have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of halobetasol propionate. In a 90-day repeat-dose toxicity study in rats, topical administration of LEXETTE at dose concentrations from 0.005% to 0.05% or from 0.011 to 0.11 mg/kg/day of halobetasol propionate resulted in a toxicity profile consistent with long-term exposure to corticosteroids including adrenal atrophy, histopathological changes in several organ systems indicative of severe immune suppression, and opportunistic fungal and bacterial infections. A no observable adverse effect level could not be determined in this study. Although the clinical relevance of the findings in animals to humans is not clear, sustained glucocorticoid-related immune suppression may increase the risk of infection and possibly the risk of carcinogenesis. Halobetasol propionate was not found to be genotoxic in the Ames/Salmonella assay, in the Chinese hamster CHO/HGPRT assay, in the mouse micronucleus test, in the sister chromatid exchange test in somatic cells of the Chinese hamster, or in the chromosome aberration test in somatic cells of Chinese hamsters. Positive mutagenicity effects were observed in two genotoxicity assays: Chinese hamster nuclear anomaly test and mouse lymphoma gene mutation assay in vitro. Studies in the rat following oral administration at dose levels up to 0.05 mg/kg/day indicated no impairment of fertility or general reproductive performance.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES LEXETTE was evaluated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled studies (Study 1 [NCT02368210] and Study 2 [NCT02742441]). These studies were conducted in 560 subjects 18 years of age and older with plaque psoriasis involving between 2% and 12% body surface area. Baseline disease severity was determined using a static, five-level Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scale, on which a subject scored either moderate or severe. Overall, approximately 60% of subjects were male and approximately 90% were Caucasian. Subjects applied LEXETTE or vehicle to all affected areas twice daily for up to 14 consecutive days. The primary measure of efficacy was Overall Treatment Success, defined as the proportion of subjects who were cleared or almost cleared with at least a two-grade improvement from baseline at Week 2 (end of treatment) based on the IGA. The studies also evaluated treatment success for the individual signs of psoriasis (plaque elevation, scaling, and erythema) at the end of treatment. Table 2 presents these results.

Subjects with baseline value of 0 or 1 were excluded. 20/75 (27%) 3/76 (4%) 71/202 (35%) 20/203 (10%) Scaling 21/75 (28%) 4/76 (5%) 68/201 (34%) 20/204 (10%) Erythema 16/75 (21%) 2/76 (3%) 59/205 (29%) 17/204 (8%)

8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies with LEXETTE included 131 subjects aged 65 years and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and those younger than 65 years.

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LEXETTE in patients younger than 12 years of age have not been established; therefore, use in children younger than 12 years is not recommended. The safety and effectiveness of LEXETTE for the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis in subjects 12 to less than 18 years of age is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults and from one open-label safety study in 24 subjects aged 12 to less than 18 years. Subjects 12 to less than 18 years with stable plaque psoriasis covering a minimum of 10% of the total body surface area at baseline were treated twice daily for 2 weeks with LEXETTE. Hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis function (ACTH stimulation test) was evaluated in a subset of 23 subjects. After 2 weeks of treatment, 6 of 23 subjects (26.1%) experienced laboratory evidence of adrenal suppression (i.e., cortisol serum level of ≤18 µg/dL) that recovered upon retesting after at least 4 weeks of stopping the treatment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. Because of higher skin surface area to body mass ratios, pediatric patients are at a greater risk than adults of HPA axis suppression and Cushing's syndrome when they are treated with topical corticosteroids. They are therefore also at greater risk of adrenal insufficiency during or after withdrawal of treatment. Adverse reactions including striae have been reported with use of topical corticosteroids in infants and children [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. HPA axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children receiving topical corticosteroids. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include low plasma cortisol levels and an absence of response to ACTH stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on LEXETTE use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Published data report an increased risk of low birthweight with the use of greater than 300 grams of potent or very potent topical corticosteroid during a pregnancy. In animal reproduction studies, increased malformations, including cleft palate and omphalocele, were observed after oral administration of halobetasol propionate during organogenesis to pregnant rats and rabbits. No comparisons of animal exposure with human exposure may be calculated due to minimal systemic exposure in humans after topical administration of LEXETTE [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Human Data Multiple observational studies found no significant associations between maternal use of topical corticosteroids of any potency and congenital malformations, preterm delivery, or fetal mortality. However, when the dispensed amount of potent or very potent topical corticosteroid exceeded 300 g during the entire pregnancy, use was associated with an increase in low birth weight infants. Animal Data Halobetasol propionate has been shown to cause malformations in rats and rabbits when given orally during organogenesis at doses of 0.04 to 0.1 mg/kg/day in rats and 0.01 mg/kg/day in rabbits. Halobetasol propionate was embryotoxic in rabbits, but not in rats. Cleft palate was observed in both rats and rabbits. Omphalocele was seen in rats, but not in rabbits.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on LEXETTE use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Published data report an increased risk of low birthweight with the use of greater than 300 grams of potent or very potent topical corticosteroid during a pregnancy. In animal reproduction studies, increased malformations, including cleft palate and omphalocele, were observed after oral administration of halobetasol propionate during organogenesis to pregnant rats and rabbits. No comparisons of animal exposure with human exposure may be calculated due to minimal systemic exposure in humans after topical administration of LEXETTE [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Human Data Multiple observational studies found no significant associations between maternal use of topical corticosteroids of any potency and congenital malformations, preterm delivery, or fetal mortality. However, when the dispensed amount of potent or very potent topical corticosteroid exceeded 300 g during the entire pregnancy, use was associated with an increase in low birth weight infants. Animal Data Halobetasol propionate has been shown to cause malformations in rats and rabbits when given orally during organogenesis at doses of 0.04 to 0.1 mg/kg/day in rats and 0.01 mg/kg/day in rabbits. Halobetasol propionate was embryotoxic in rabbits, but not in rats. Cleft palate was observed in both rats and rabbits. Omphalocele was seen in rats, but not in rabbits. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of halobetasol propionate or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production after topical application to women who are breastfeeding. Systemically administered corticosteroids appear in human milk and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, or cause other untoward effects. It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for LEXETTE and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from LEXETTE or from the underlying maternal condition. Clinical Considerations Advise breastfeeding women not to apply LEXETTE directly to the nipple and/or areola to avoid direct infant exposure. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LEXETTE in patients younger than 12 years of age have not been established; therefore, use in children younger than 12 years is not recommended.
