VEVYE

VEVYE indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. VEVYE (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1% is a calcineurin inhibitor immunosuppressant indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. ( 1 )

VEVYE is a sterile, clear, colorless non-aqueous ophthalmic solution packaged in multiple-dose eye drop bottles delivering single drops of approximately 0.01 mL volume. Each unit contains 2 mL of VEVYE in a 5 mL transparent squeezable polypropylene bottle with a transparent polyethylene tip and a white polyethylene cap with tamper-evident ring. NDC 82667-900-02 Storage and Handling Do not use if tamper-evident ring attached to the white cap is not intact. After first opening the tamper-evident ring of the cap remains on the bottle neck. Retain the cap and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Store at 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not freeze or refrigerate. After opening, VEVYE can be used until the expiration date on the bottle.

Instill one drop of VEVYE twice a day in each eye approximately 12 hours apart. ( 2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage Instill one drop of VEVYE twice a day in each eye approximately 12 hours apart. 2.2 Administration Instructions Wash hands before using. Gently pull the lower eyelid downward. Tip the bottle upside down over the eye to allow one drop to dispense on its own into the eye. If a drop does not dispense after a few seconds, gently apply slight pressure to the sides of the bottle while holding over the eye. Note: You may not feel the drop falling into your eye. If VEVYE is used with other eye drops, a 15-minute interval between products should occur.

None. None. ( 4 )

Care should be taken to not touch the eye or other surfaces with the bottle tip to avoid potential for eye injury and/or contamination. ( 5.1 ) 5.1 Potential for Eye Injury and Contamination To avoid the potential for eye injury and/or contamination, patients should not touch the bottle tip to the eye or other surfaces. 5.2 Use with Contact Lenses VEVYE should not be administered while wearing contact lenses. If contact lenses are worn, they should be removed prior to administration of the solution. Lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes following administration of VEVYE ophthalmic solution.

Advise patients to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Instructions for Use). Risk of Contamination Advise patients to wash their hands well before each use. Advise patients not to allow the dropper tip to touch the eye or any other surface, as this may contaminate the solution [see Warning and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Contact Lens Wear Contact lenses should be removed prior to instillation of VEVYE and may be reinserted 15 minutes following administration [see Warning and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .

Carcinogenesis Evaluation of the potential carcinogenicity of cyclosporine was conducted in male and female mice and rats. In a 78-week oral (diet) mouse study, at doses of 1, 4, and 16 mg/kg/day, evidence of a statistically significant trend was found for lymphocytic lymphomas in females, and the incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas in mid -dose males significantly exceeded the control value. In a 24-month oral (diet) rat study, conducted at 0.5, 2, and 8 mg/kg/day, pancreatic islet cell adenomas significantly exceeded the control rate in the low dose level. The hepatocellular carcinomas and pancreatic islet cell adenomas were not dose related. The low doses in mice and rats were approximately 120 times higher than the maximum recommended human ophthalmic dose (0.67 mcg/kg/day), normalized to body surface area. Mutagenesis In genetic toxicity tests, cyclosporine has not been found to be mutagenic/genotoxic in the Ames Test, the V79 HGPRT Test, the micronucleus test in mice and Chinese hamsters, the chromosome-aberration tests in Chinese hamster bone-marrow, the mouse dominant lethal assay, and the DNA-repair test in sperm from treated mice. Cyclosporine was positive in an in vitro sister chromatid exchange (SCE) assay using human lymphocytes. Impairment of Fertility Oral administration of cyclosporine to rats for 12 weeks (male) and 2 weeks (female) prior to mating produced no adverse effects on fertility at doses up to 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 3,600 times higher than the maximum recommended human ophthalmic dose).

Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of VEVYE administration in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of cyclosporine to pregnant rats or rabbits did not produce teratogenicity at clinically relevant doses VEVYE doses are approximately 4,700 times lower than recommended oral doses, with blood concentrations being undetectable after topical administration. Data Animal Data Oral administration of cyclosporine oral solution to pregnant rats or rabbits was teratogenic at maternally toxic doses of 30 mg/kg/day in rats and 100 mg/kg/day in rabbits, as indicated by increased pre- and postnatal mortality, reduced fetal weight and skeletal retardations. These doses (normalized to body weight) were approximately 7,250 and 48,000 times higher than the daily maximum recommended human ophthalmic dose (MRHOD) of 0.67 mcg/kg/day, respectively. No adverse embryofetal effects were observed in rats or rabbits receiving cyclosporine during organogenesis at oral doses up to 17 mg/kg/day or 30 mg/kg/day, respectively (approximately 4,100 and 14,500 times higher than the MRHOD, respectively). An oral dose of 45 mg/kg/day cyclosporine (approximately 10,900 times higher than MRHOD) administered to rats from Day 15 of pregnancy until Day 21 postpartum produced maternal toxicity and an increase in postnatal mortality in offspring. No adverse effects in mothers or offspring were observed at oral doses of up to 15 mg/kg/day (3600 times greater than MRHOD).

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 18 years have not been established.

No overall difference in safety or effectiveness has been observed between elderly and younger patients.

The most common adverse reaction following the use of VEVYE were instillation site reactions (8%).

In clinical trials with 738 subjects receiving at least 1 dose of VEVYE, the most common adverse reactions were instillation site reactions (8%) and temporary decreases in visual acuity (3%).
