MESNEX

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling. • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Dermatological Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Benzyl Alcohol Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Laboratory Test Interferences [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Use in Patients with a History of Adverse Reactions to Thiol Compounds [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] The most common adverse reactions (> 10%) when MESNEX is given with ifosfamide are nausea, vomiting, constipation, leukopenia, fatigue, fever, anorexia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, granulocytopenia, diarrhea, asthenia, abdominal pain, headache, alopecia, and somnolence. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Baxter Healthcare at 1-866-888-2472, or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. MESNEX adverse reaction data are available from four Phase 1 studies in which single intravenous doses of 600-1200 mg MESNEX injection without concurrent chemotherapy were administered to a total of 53 healthy volunteers and single oral doses of 600-2400 mg of MESNEX tablets were administered to a total of 82 healthy volunteers. The most frequently reported side effects (observed in two or more healthy volunteers) for healthy volunteers receiving single doses of MESNEX injection alone were headache, injection site reactions, flushing, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, somnolence, diarrhea, anorexia, fever, pharyngitis, hyperesthesia, influenza-like symptoms, and coughing. In two Phase 1 multiple-dose studies where healthy volunteers received MESNEX tablets alone or intravenous MESNEX followed by repeated doses of MESNEX tablets, flatulence and rhinitis were reported. In addition, constipation was reported by healthy volunteers who had received repeated doses of intravenous MESNEX. Additional adverse reactions in healthy volunteers receiving MESNEX alone included injection site reactions, abdominal pain/colic, epigastric pain/burning, mucosal irritation, lightheadedness, back pain, arthralgia, myalgia, conjunctivitis, nasal congestion, rigors, paresthesia, photophobia, fatigue, lymphadenopathy, extremity pain, malaise, chest pain, dysuria, pleuritic pain, dry mouth, dyspnea, and hyperhidrosis. In healthy volunteers, MESNEX was commonly associated with a rapid (within 24 hours) decrease in lymphocyte count, which was generally reversible within one week of administration. Because MESNEX is used in combination with ifosfamide or ifosfamide-containing chemotherapy regimens, it is difficult to distinguish the adverse reactions which may be due to MESNEX from those caused by the concomitantly administered cytotoxic agents. Adverse reactions reasonably associated with MESNEX administered intravenously and orally in four controlled studies in which patients received ifosfamide or ifosfamide-containing regimens are presented in Table 3.

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS MESNEX is contraindicated in patients known to be hypersensitive to mesna or to any of the excipients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. • Known hypersensitivity to mesna or to any of the excipients, including benzyl alcohol. ( 4 )

11 DESCRIPTION MESNEX (mesna) is a detoxifying agent to inhibit the hemorrhagic cystitis induced by ifosfamide. The active ingredient, mesna, is a synthetic sulfhydryl compound designated as sodium-2-mercaptoethane sulfonate with a molecular formula of C 2 H 5 NaO 3 S 2 and a molecular weight of 164.18. Its structural formula is as follows: HS–CH 2 –CH 2 SO 3 –Na + MESNEX injection is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, aqueous solution of clear and colorless appearance in clear glass multidose vials for intravenous administration. MESNEX injection contains 100 mg/mL mesna, 0.25 mg/mL edetate disodium and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment. MESNEX injection multidose vials also contain 10.4 mg/mL of benzyl alcohol as a preservative. The solution has a pH range of 7.5-8.5. MESNEX tablets are white, oblong, scored biconvex film-coated tablets with the imprint M4. They contain 400 mg mesna. The excipients are calcium phosphate, cornstarch, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, povidone, simethicone, and titanium dioxide.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION MESNEX may be given on a fractionated dosing schedule of three bolus intravenous injections or a single bolus injection followed by two oral administrations of MESNEX tablets as outlined below. The dosing schedule should be repeated on each day that ifosfamide is administered. When the dosage of ifosfamide is adjusted, the ratio of MESNEX to ifosfamide should be maintained. ( 2 ) Intravenous Dosing Schedule: 0 Hours 4 Hours 8 Hours Ifosfamide 1.2 g/m 2 -- -- MESNEX injection 240 mg/m 2 240 mg/m 2 240 mg/m 2 Intravenous and Oral Dosing Schedule: 0 Hours 2 Hours 6 Hours Ifosfamide 1.2 g/m 2 -- -- MESNEX injection 240 mg/m 2 -- -- MESNEX tablets -- 480 mg/m 2 480 mg/m 2 Maintain sufficient urinary output, as required for ifosfamide treatment, and monitor urine for the presence of hematuria. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Intravenous Dosing MESNEX may be given on a fractionated dosing schedule of three bolus intravenous injections as outlined below. MESNEX injection is given as intravenous bolus injections in a dosage equal to 20% of the ifosfamide dosage weight by weight (w/w) at the time of ifosfamide administration and 4 and 8 hours after each dose of ifosfamide. The total daily dose of MESNEX is 60% of the ifosfamide dose. The recommended dosing schedule is outlined below in Table 1. Table 1. Recommended Intravenous Dosing Schedule 0 Hours 4 Hours 8 Hours Ifosfamide 1.2 g/m 2 – – MESNEX injection The dosing schedule should be repeated on each day that ifosfamide is administered. When the dosage of ifosfamide is increased or decreased, the ratio of MESNEX to ifosfamide should be maintained. 240 mg/m 2 240 mg/m 2 240 mg/m 2 2.2 Intravenous and Oral Dosing MESNEX may be given on a fractionated dosing schedule of a single bolus injection followed by two oral administrations of MESNEX tablets as outlined below. MESNEX injection is given as intravenous bolus injections in a dosage equal to 20% of the ifosfamide dosage (w/w) at the time of ifosfamide administration. MESNEX tablets are given orally in a dosage equal to 40% of the ifosfamide dose 2 and 6 hours after each dose of ifosfamide. The total daily dose of MESNEX is 100% of the ifosfamide dose. The recommended dosing schedule is outlined in Table 2. Table 2. Recommended Intravenous and Oral Dosing Schedule 0 Hours 2 Hours 6 Hours Ifosfamide 1.2 g/m 2 – – MESNEX injection The dosing schedule should be repeated on each day that ifosfamide is administered. When the dosage of ifosfamide is increased or decreased, the ratio of MESNEX to ifosfamide should be maintained. 240 mg/m 2 – – MESNEX tablets – 480 mg/m 2 480 mg/m 2 The efficacy and safety of this ratio of intravenous and oral MESNEX has not been established as being effective for daily doses of ifosfamide higher than 2 g/m 2 . Patients who vomit within two hours of taking oral MESNEX should repeat the dose or receive intravenous MESNEX. 2.3 Monitoring for Hematuria Maintain adequate hydration and sufficient urinary output, as required for ifosfamide treatment, and monitor urine for the presence of hematuria. If severe hematuria develops when MESNEX is given according to the recommended dosage schedule, dosage reductions or discontinuation of ifosfamide therapy may be required. 2.4 Preparation for Intravenous Administration and Stability Preparation Determine the volume of MESNEX injection for the intended dose. Dilute the volume of MESNEX injection for the dose in any of the following fluids to obtain a final concentration of 20 mg/mL: • 5% Dextrose Injection, USP • 5% Dextrose and 0.2% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP • 5% Dextrose and 0.33% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP • 5% Dextrose and 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP • 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP • Lactated Ringer’s Injection, USP Stability The MESNEX injection multidose vials may be stored and used for up to 8 days after initial puncture. Store diluted solutions at 25°C (77°F). Use diluted solutions within 24 hours. Do not mix MESNEX injection with epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, carboplatin, and nitrogen mustard. The benzyl alcohol contained in MESNEX injection vials can reduce the stability of ifosfamide. Ifosfamide and MESNEX may be mixed in the same bag provided the final concentration of ifosfamide does not exceed 50 mg/mL. Higher concentrations of ifosfamide may not be compatible with MESNEX and may reduce the stability of ifosfamide. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit. Any solutions which are discolored, hazy, or contain visible particulate matter should not be used.

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE MESNEX is indicated as a prophylactic agent in reducing the incidence of ifosfamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis. Limitation of Use: MESNEX is not indicated to reduce the risk of hematuria due to other pathological conditions such as thrombocytopenia. MESNEX is a cytoprotective agent indicated as a prophylactic agent in reducing the incidence of ifosfamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis. ( 1 ) Limitation of Use: MESNEX is not indicated to reduce the risk of hematuria due to other pathological conditions such as thrombocytopenia. ( 1 )

10 OVERDOSAGE There is no known antidote for MESNEX. In a clinical trial, 11 patients received intravenous MESNEX 10 mg/kg to 66 mg/kg per day for 3 to 5 days. Patients also received ifosfamide or cyclophosphamide. Adverse reactions included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever. An increased rate of these adverse reactions has also been found in oxazaphosphorine-treated patients receiving ≥80 mg MESNEX per kg per day intravenously compared with patients receiving lower doses or hydration treatment only. Postmarketing, administration of 4.5 g to 6.9 g of MESNEX resulted in hypersensitivity reactions including mild hypotension, shortness of breath, asthma exacerbation, rash, and flushing.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS No clinical drug interaction studies have been conducted with MESNEX.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Mesna reacts chemically with the urotoxic ifosfamide metabolites, acrolein and 4-hydroxy-ifosfamide, resulting in their detoxification. The first step in the detoxification process is the binding of mesna to 4-hydroxy-ifosfamide forming a non-urotoxic 4-sulfoethylthioifosfamide. Mesna also binds to the double bonds of acrolein and to other urotoxic metabolites and inhibits their effects on the bladder. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption Following oral administration, peak plasma concentrations were reached within 1.5 to 4 hours and 3 to 7 hours for free mesna and total mesna (mesna plus dimesna and mixed disulfides), respectively. Oral bioavailability averaged 58% (range 45 to 71%) for free mesna and 89% (range 74 to 104%) for total mesna based on plasma AUC data from 8 healthy volunteers who received 1200 mg oral or intravenous doses. Food does not affect the urinary availability of orally administered MESNEX. Distribution Mean apparent volume of distribution (V d ) for mesna is 0.652 ± 0.242 L/kg after intravenous administration which suggests distribution to total body water (plasma, extracellular fluid, and intracellular water). Metabolism Analogous to the physiological cysteine-cystine system, mesna is rapidly oxidized to its major metabolite, mesna disulfide (dimesna). Plasma concentrations of mesna exceed those of dimesna after oral or intravenous administration. Excretion Following intravenous administration of a single 800 mg dose, approximately 32% and 33% of the administered dose was eliminated in the urine in 24 hours as mesna and dimesna, respectively. Mean plasma elimination half-lives of mesna and dimesna are 0.36 hours and 1.17 hours, respectively. Mesna has a plasma clearance of 1.23 L/h/kg.

Patient Information MESNEX (MES-nex) (mesna) tablets MESNEX (MES-nex) (mesna) injection What is the most important information I should know about MESNEX? MESNEX can cause serious allergic reactions and skin reactions. These serious reactions can happen the first time you are treated with MESNEX or after several months of treatment with MESNEX. Stop treatment with MESNEX and go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you develop any of the symptoms listed below: • fever • swelling of your face, lips, mouth, or tongue • trouble breathing or wheezing • itching • burning • skin rash or hives • skin redness or swelling • skin blisters or peeling • feel lightheaded or faint • feel like your heart is racing • nausea • vomiting • joint or muscle aches • mouth sores See “ What are the possible side effects of MESNEX? ” for more information about side effects. What is MESNEX? MESNEX is a prescription medicine used to reduce the risk of inflammation and bleeding of the bladder (hemorrhagic cystitis) in people who receive ifosfamide (a medicine used to treat cancer). MESNEX is not for use to reduce the risk of blood in the urine (hematuria) due to other medical conditions. Do not take MESNEX tablets or receive MESNEX by intravenous (IV) infusion if you are allergic to mesna or any of the ingredients in MESNEX. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in MESNEX. Before you take or receive MESNEX, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: • are allergic to any medicines • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Females who are able to become pregnant: o Your healthcare provider will verify if you are pregnant or not before you start treatment with MESNEX and ifosfamide. o You should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with MESNEX and ifosfamide and for 6 months after the last dose. o Tell your healthcare provider if you become pregnant during treatment with MESNEX and ifosfamide. Males with female partners who are able to become pregnant should use effective birth control during treatment with MESNEX and ifosfamide and for 3 months after the last dose. You should also read the ifosfamide Prescribing Information for important pregnancy, contraception, and infertility information. • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if MESNEX passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose of MESNEX or ifosfamide. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. How will I receive MESNEX? • MESNEX is given on the same day that you receive ifosfamide. • MESNEX can be given by an intravenous (IV) infusion into a vein or tablets taken by mouth. • You will receive MESNEX in one of two ways: o MESNEX intravenous (IV) infusion into a vein at the time you receive ifosfamide and 4 and 8 hours after you receive ifosfamide, OR o MESNEX intravenous (IV) infusion into a vein at the time you receive ifosfamide and MESNEX tablets taken by mouth 2 and 6 hours after you receive ifosfamide. • Take MESNEX tablets at the exact times and the exact dose your healthcare provider tells you to take it. • During treatment with MESNEX intravenous (IV) infusion or MESNEX tablets, you should drink 4 to 8 cups of liquid (1 to 2 liters) each day. • Tell your healthcare provider if you: o vomit within 2 hours of taking MESNEX tablets by mouth o miss a dose of MESNEX tablets o have pink or red colored urine What are the possible side effects of MESNEX? MESNEX may cause serious side effects, including: See “What is the most important information I should know about MESNEX?” • MESNEX that is given by intravenous (IV) infusion contains the preservative benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol has been shown to cause serious side effects and death in premature newborns and low-birth weight babies. Avoid use of MESNEX injection in premature newborns and low birth weight infants. MESNEX tablets do not contain benzyl alcohol. The most common side effects of MESNEX when given with ifosfamide include: • nausea • vomiting • constipation • decreased white blood cell count • tiredness • fever • decreased appetite • decreased platelet count • decreased red blood cell count • diarrhea • weakness • stomach (abdomen) pain • headache • hair loss • sleepiness These are not all the possible side effects of MESNEX. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. How should I store MESNEX tablets? • Store MESNEX tablets at room temperature between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Keep MESNEX and all medicines out of the reach of children.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Intravenous MESNEX Hemorrhagic cystitis produced by ifosfamide is dose dependent (Table 4). At a dose of 1.2 g/m 2 ifosfamide administered daily for 5 days, 16 to 26% of the patients who received conventional uroprophylaxis (high fluid intake, alkalinization of the urine, and the administration of diuretics) developed hematuria (>50 RBC per hpf or macrohematuria) (Studies 1, 2, and 3). In contrast, none of the patients who received mesna injection together with this dose of ifosfamide developed hematuria (Studies 3 and 4). In two randomized studies, (Studies 5 and 6), higher doses of ifosfamide, from 2 g/m 2 to 4 g/m 2 administered for 3 to 5 days, produced hematuria in 31 to 100% of the patients. When MESNEX was administered together with these doses of ifosfamide, the incidence of hematuria was less than 7%. Table 4.

Study 7 was an open label, randomized, two-way crossover study comparing three intravenous doses with an initial intravenous dose followed by two oral doses of MESNEX in patients with cancer treated with ifosfamide at a dose of 1.2 g/m 2 to 2.0 g/m 2 for 3 to 5 days. Study 8 was a randomized, multicenter study in cancer patients receiving ifosfamide at 2.0 g/m 2 for 5 days. In both studies, development of grade 3 or 4 hematuria was the primary efficacy endpoint. The percent of patients developing hematuria in each of these studies is presented in Table 5. Table 5.

8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of MESNEX did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. The ratio of ifosfamide to MESNEX should remain unchanged.

8.4 Pediatric Use MESNEX injection contains the preservative benzyl alcohol which has been associated with serious adverse reactions and death when administered intravenously to premature neonates and low birth weight infants . Avoid use of MESNEX injection in premature neonates and low-birth weight infants [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ].

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary MESNEX is used in combination with ifosfamide or other cytotoxic agents. Ifosfamide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Refer to the ifosfamide prescribing information for more information on use during pregnancy. MESNEX injection contains the preservative benzyl alcohol. Because benzyl alcohol is rapidly metabolized by a pregnant woman, benzyl alcohol exposure in the fetus is unlikely [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.4)]. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are 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 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data MESNEX is used in combination with ifosfamide or other cytotoxic agents. Ifosfamide can cause fetal harm including embryo-fetal lethality. Refer to the ifosfamide prescribing information for more information on use during pregnancy. In embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of mesna to pregnant rats (500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 mg/kg) and rabbits (500 and 1000 mg/kg) during the period of organogenesis revealed no adverse developmental outcomes at doses approximately 10 times the maximum recommended total daily human equivalent dose based on body surface area.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Pregnancy: MESNEX in combination with ifosfamide can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of potential risk to a fetus. (8.1) • Lactation: Do not breastfeed. (8.2) • Females and Males of Reproductive Potential: Advise patients to use effective contraception. Verify pregnancy status prior to initiation of MESNEX in combination with ifosfamide. (8.3) • Pediatric use: In premature neonates and low-birth weight infants, avoid use of benzyl alcohol–containing solutions. (8.4) • Geriatric use: Dose selection should be cautious. (8.5) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary MESNEX is used in combination with ifosfamide or other cytotoxic agents. Ifosfamide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

Ifosfamide is excreted in breast milk. Refer to the ifosfamide prescribing information for more information on use during lactation. There are no data on the presence of mesna in human or animal milk, the effect on the breastfed child, or the effect on milk production. MESNEX injection contains the preservative benzyl alcohol. Because benzyl alcohol is rapidly metabolized by a lactating woman, benzyl alcohol exposure in the breastfed infant is unlikely. However, adverse reactions have occurred in premature neonates and low birth weight infants who received intravenously administered benzyl alcohol-containing drugs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.4)]. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose of MESNEX or ifosfamide. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential MESNEX is used in combination with ifosfamide or other cytotoxic agents. Ifosfamide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Refer to the ifosfamide prescribing information for more information on contraception and effects on fertility. Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of MESNEX in combination with ifosfamide. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with MESNEX in combination with ifosfamide and for 6 months after the last dose. Males Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with MESNEX in combination with ifosfamide and for 3 months after the last dose. 8.4 Pediatric Use MESNEX injection contains the preservative benzyl alcohol which has been associated with serious adverse reactions and death when administered intravenously to premature neonates and low birth weight infants . Avoid use of MESNEX injection in premature neonates and low-birth weight infants [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of MESNEX did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. The ratio of ifosfamide to MESNEX should remain unchanged. 8.6 Use in Patients with Renal Impairment No clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of MESNEX. 8.7 Use in Patients with Hepatic Impairment No clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of MESNEX.
