Anticholinergic

Dosing in kidney impairment

Renal Impairment No dosage adjustment is required in patients with renal impairment. Monitor for systemic antimuscarinic side effects in COPD patients with severe renal impairment. [see Clinical Pharmacology ] .

Dosing in liver impairment

Hepatic Impairment The systemic exposure of revefenacin is unchanged while that of its active metabolite is increased in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment. The safety of YUPELRI has not been evaluated in COPD patients with mild-to-severe hepatic impairment. YUPELRI is not recommended in patients with any degree of hepatic impairment. [see Clinical Pharmacology ] .

Label text (4 paragraphs)

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Anticholinergics: May interact additively with concomitantly used anticholinergic medications. Avoid administration of YUPELRI with other anticholinergic-containing drugs. ( 7.1 ) • Transporter-related drug interactions: Coadministration of YUPELRI with OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 inhibitors (e.g. rifampicin, cyclosporine, etc.) may lead to an increase in exposure of the active metabolite. Therefore, coadministration with YUPELRI is not recommended. ( 7.2 , 12.3 )

7.1 Anticholinergics There is potential for an additive interaction with concomitantly used anticholinergic medicines. Therefore, avoid coadministration of YUPELRI with other anticholinergic-containing drugs as this may lead to an increase in anticholinergic adverse effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3 , 5.4 )] .

7.2 Transporter-Related Drug Interactions OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 inhibitors (e.g. rifampicin, cyclosporine, etc.) could lead to an increase in systemic exposure of the active metabolite. Therefore, coadministration with YUPELRI is not recommended [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Drug Interaction Studies Revefenacin and Cytochrome P450 Neither revefenacin nor its active metabolite inhibits the following cytochrome P450 isoforms: CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5. Neither revefenacin nor its active metabolite induces CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4/5. Revefenacin and Efflux Transporters Revefenacin is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP.

Neither revefenacin nor its active metabolite is an inhibitor of these efflux transporters. Revefenacin and Uptake Transporters The active metabolite of revefenacin is a substrate of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Neither revefenacin nor its active metabolite is an inhibitor of the uptake transporters OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2.

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled studies with YUPELRI in pregnant women. Women should be advised to contact their physician if they become pregnant while taking YUPELRI. In animal reproduction studies, subcutaneous administration of revefenacin to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis produced no evidence of fetal harm at respective exposures approximately 209 times the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) (on an area under the curve [AUC] basis) (see Data ) . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is 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 Animal Data In an embryo‑fetal development study in pregnant rats dosed during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6 to 17, revefenacin was not teratogenic and did not affect fetal survival at exposures up to 209 times the MRHD (based upon summed AUCs for revefenacin and its active metabolite at maternal subcutaneous doses up to 500 mcg/kg/day).

In an embryo‑fetal development study in pregnant rabbits dosed during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 7 to 19, revefenacin was not teratogenic and did not affect fetal survival at exposures up to 694 times the MRHD (based upon summed AUCs for revefenacin and its active metabolite at maternal subcutaneous doses up to 500 mcg/kg/day). Placental transfer of revefenacin and its active metabolite was observed in pregnant rabbits.

In a pre- and postnatal development (PPND) study in pregnant rats dosed during the periods of organogenesis and lactation from gestation day 6 to lactation day 20, revefenacin had no adverse developmental effects on pups at exposures up to 196 times the MRHD (based upon summed AUCs for revefenacin and its active metabolite at maternal subcutaneous doses up to 500 mcg/kg/day).
