Dosing in kidney impairment
Renal Impairment Patients with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60 to <90 mL/min) showed higher systemic exposures to trospium chloride and xanomeline, the components of COBENFY, compared to subjects with normal renal function. However, in the adequate and well-controlled clinical studies, the safety profiles in patients with mild renal impairment were similar to those observed in patients with normal renal function (eGFR ≥90 mL/min).
Therefore, the recommended dosage in patients with mild renal impairment is the same as the recommended dosage for patients with normal renal function. Use of COBENFY is not recommended in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (eGFR<60 mL/min) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.8) and Clinical Pharmacology ] .
Dosing in liver impairment
Recommended Testing and Monitoring Prior to Initiation and During Treatment with COBENFY
Assess liver enzymes and bilirubin prior to initiating COBENFY and as clinically indicated during treatment [see Contraindications and Warnings and Precautions (5.2 , 5.3) ] .
Assess heart rate at baseline and as clinically indicated during treatment [see Warnings and Precautions ] .
Preparation and administration
Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of COBENFY is as follows:
The recommended starting dosage is one 50 mg/20 mg capsule (contains 50 mg of xanomeline and 20 mg of trospium chloride) orally twice daily for at least two days.
Increase the dosage to one 100 mg/20 mg capsule (contains 100 mg of xanomeline and 20 mg of trospium chloride) orally twice daily for at least five days.
The dosage may be increased to one 125 mg/30 mg capsule (contains 125 mg of xanomeline and 30 mg of trospium chloride) orally twice daily based on patient tolerability and response [see Clinical Studies ] .
Maximum recommended dosage is 125 mg/30 mg orally twice daily. Administer COBENFY orally at least one hour before a meal or at least two hours after a meal [see Clinical Pharmacology ] . Do not open the capsules.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Drugs Eliminated by Active Tubular Secretion: Monitor for increased frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions related to COBENFY and to drugs eliminated by active tubular secretion. ( 7.1 ) • Strong CYP2D6 Inhibitors: Monitor for increased frequency and/or severity of COBENFY-related adverse reactions. ( 7.1 ) • Sensitive Substrates of CYP3A4 or P-glycoprotein: Monitor for increased frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions from these substrates. ( 7.1 ) • Antimuscarinic Drugs: Monitor for increased frequency or severity of anticholinergic adverse reactions. ( 7.2 )
7.1 Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with COBENFY Table 2 displays clinically significant drug interactions with COBENFY. Table 2: Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with COBENFY Strong Inhibitors of CYP2D6 Clinical Implication: CYP2D6 contributes significantly to the metabolism of xanomeline, a component of COBENFY. Concomitant use of COBENFY with strong CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase plasma concentrations of xanomeline, which may increase the frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions from COBENFY [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .
Prevention or Management: Monitor patients for increased frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions related to COBENFY in patients taking COBENFY with strong inhibitors of CYP2D6. Drugs Eliminated by Active Tubular Secretion Clinical Implication: Concomitant use of COBENFY with drugs that are eliminated by active tubular secretion may increase plasma concentrations of trospium a component of COBENFY, and/or the concomitantly used drug due to competition for this elimination pathway, which may increase the frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions from COBENFY or the drug eliminated by active tubular secretion [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .
Prevention or Management: Monitor patients for increased frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions related to COBENFY and adverse reactions related to drugs eliminated by active tubular secretion in patients concomitantly receiving such drugs. Oral Drugs That Are Sensitive Substrates of CYP3A4 Clinical Implication: Xanomeline, a component of COBENFY, transiently inhibits CYP3A4 locally in the gut but not systemically. Concomitant use of COBENFY with oral drugs that are sensitive substrates of CYP3A4 may result in increased plasma concentrations of the oral drugs that are sensitive substrates of CYP3A4.
This may increase the frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions from such substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Prevention or Management: Monitor patients for increased frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions related to oral drugs that are sensitive substrates of CYP3A4 in patients taking COBENFY with such substrates. Oral Drugs That Are Substrates of P-glycoprotein Clinical Implication: Xanomeline, a component of COBENFY, transiently inhibits P-glycoprotein locally in the gut but not systemically.
Concomitant use of COBENFY with oral drugs that are substrates of P-glycoprotein may result in increased plasma concentrations of the oral drugs that are substrates of P-glycoprotein, which may increase the frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions from such substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Prevention or Management: Monitor patients for increased frequency and/or severity of adverse reactions related to oral drugs that are narrow therapeutic index substrates of P-glycoprotein in patients taking COBENFY with such substrates.
7.2 Other Antimuscarinic Drugs Concomitant use of COBENFY with other antimuscarinic drugs that produce anticholinergic adverse reactions (e.g., dry mouth, constipation) may increase the frequency and/or severity of such effects. Monitor patients for increased frequency and/or severity of anticholinergic adverse reactions when COBENFY is used concomitantly with other antimuscarinic drugs.
7.3 Effects on Absorption of Drugs COBENFY may potentially alter the absorption of some concomitantly administered drugs due to anticholinergic effects on gastrointestinal motility. Dosage adjustment of concomitant medications may be necessary based on clinical response and tolerability.

Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors outcomes in women exposed to psychiatric medications, including COBENFY, during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to advise patients to register by calling 1-866-961-2388 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/research/pregnancyregistry/atypicalantipsychotic/ . Risk Summary There are no available data on COBENFY use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother associated with untreated schizophrenia ( see Clinical Considerations ).
In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of xanomeline alone or in combination with trospium chloride during the period of organogenesis or during pregnancy and lactation caused maternal toxicities of adverse clinical signs, decreased body weight, weight gain and food consumption, and/or maternal death. At these maternally toxic doses, embryofetal and developmental toxicities included decreased fetal and neonatal weight, stillborn pups, and/or neonatal deaths.
The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of xanomeline or xanomeline/trospium chloride combination for maternal, embryofetal, and/or developmental toxicity is equal to or higher than the xanomeline and trospium chloride dose at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 250/60 mg xanomeline/trospium chloride, based on mg/m 2 body surface area (BSA) (see Data). The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of major birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S.
general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-associated maternal and/or embryofetal risk There is a risk to the pregnant patient from untreated schizophrenia, including increased risk of relapse, hospitalization, and suicide. Schizophrenia is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, including preterm birth. It is not known if this is a direct result of the illness or other comorbid factors.
Data Animal Data Pregnant rats were orally treated during the period of organogenesis with 150 mg/kg/day xanomeline alone, 100 mg/kg/day trospium chloride alone, or xanomeline/trospium chloride combination at 30/25, 75/50, and 150/100 mg/kg/day, respectively. Xanomeline alone and the high dose combination caused…
