1.1 Adult Overactive Bladder

Toviaz is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) in adults with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency.

1.2 Pediatric Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity

Toviaz is indicated for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with a body weight greater than 25 kg.

2.1 Recommended Dosage for Adult Patients With OAB

The recommended starting dosage of Toviaz in adults is 4 mg orally once daily. Based upon individual response and tolerability, increase to the maximum dosage of Toviaz 8 mg once daily. For administration instructions, see Dosage and Administration (2.6).

2.2 Recommended Dosage for Pediatric Patients Aged 6 Years and Older With NDO

2.3 Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients With Renal Impairment

The recommended dosage of Toviaz in adult patients with renal impairment is described in Table 1 [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)]. For administration instructions, see Dosage and Administration (2.6).

2.4 Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients With Renal Impairment

2.5 Toviaz Dosage Modifications Due to Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors

2.6 Administration Instructions

Swallow Toviaz whole with liquid. Do not chew, divide, or crush. Take with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

5.1 Angioedema

Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with Toviaz. In some cases, angioedema occurred after the first dose; however, cases have been reported to occur hours after the first dose or after multiple doses. Angioedema associated with upper airway swelling may be life-threatening.

Toviaz is contraindicated in patients with a known or suspected hypersensitivity to Toviaz or any of its ingredients [see Contraindications (4)]. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, Toviaz should be promptly discontinued and appropriate therapy and/or measures to ensure a patent airway should be promptly provided.

5.2 Urinary Retention in Adult Patients With Bladder Outlet Obstruction

The use of Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic drugs, in patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction, including patients with urinary retention, may result in further urinary retention and kidney injury. The use of Toviaz is not recommended in patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction, and is contraindicated in patients with urinary retention [see Contraindications (4) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

5.3 Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility

Toviaz is associated with decreased gastric motility. Toviaz is contraindicated in patients with gastric retention [see Contraindications (4)]. The use of Toviaz is not recommended in patients with decreased gastrointestinal motility, such as those with severe constipation.

5.4 Worsening of Narrow-Angle Glaucoma

Toviaz can worsen controlled narrow-angle glaucoma. Toviaz is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma [see Contraindications (4)]. Toviaz should be used with caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma.

5.5 Central Nervous System Effects

Toviaz is associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) adverse reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. A variety of CNS anticholinergic effects have been reported, including headache, dizziness, and somnolence. Patients should be monitored for signs of anticholinergic CNS effects, particularly after beginning treatment or increasing the dose. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how Toviaz affects them. If a patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects, Toviaz dose reduction or discontinuation should be considered.

5.6 Worsening of Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms

Toviaz should be used with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis due to the risk of worsening of symptoms of the disease.

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.

6.2 Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Toviaz. Because these 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.

Cardiac disorders: Palpitations

Central nervous system disorders: Dizziness, headache, somnolence

Eye disorders: Blurred vision

Gastrointestinal disorders: Hypoaesthesia oral

General disorders and administrative site conditions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema with airway obstruction, face edema

Psychiatric disorders: Confusional state

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Urticaria, pruritus

7.1 Antimuscarinic Drugs

Coadministration of Toviaz with other antimuscarinic agents that produce dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, and other anticholinergic pharmacological effects may increase the frequency and/or severity of such effects. Anticholinergic agents may potentially alter the absorption of some concomitantly administered drugs due to anticholinergic effects on gastrointestinal motility.

7.2 CYP3A4 Inhibitors

Doses of Toviaz greater than 4 mg are not recommended in adult patients taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and clarithromycin [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. The Toviaz dose in pediatric patients taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is recommended to be reduced to 4 mg once daily in patients >35 kg and is not recommended in patients weighing greater than 25 kg and up to 35 kg [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

In a study in adults, coadministration of the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole with fesoterodine led to approximately a doubling of the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT), the active metabolite of fesoterodine. Compared with CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers not taking ketoconazole, further increases in the exposure to 5-HMT were observed in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers taking ketoconazole [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

There is no clinically relevant effect of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. Following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor fluconazole 200 mg twice a day for 2 days, the average (90% confidence interval) increase in Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine was approximately 19% (11%–28%) and 27% (18%–36%) respectively. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., erythromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem, verapamil and grapefruit juice).

The effect of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. cimetidine) was not examined; it is not expected to be in excess of the effect of moderate inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

7.3 CYP3A4 Inducers

No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP3A4 inducers, such as rifampin and carbamazepine. Following induction of CYP3A4 by coadministration of rifampin 600 mg once a day, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine decreased by approximately 70% and 75%, respectively, after oral administration of Toviaz 8 mg. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite was not changed.

7.4 CYP2D6 Inhibitors

The interaction with CYP2D6 inhibitors was not tested clinically. In poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, representing a maximum CYP2D6 inhibition, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively.

No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP2D6 inhibitors.

7.5 Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450

In vitro data indicate that at therapeutic concentrations, the active metabolite of fesoterodine does not have the potential to inhibit or induce Cytochrome P450 enzyme systems [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

7.6 Oral Contraceptives

In the presence of fesoterodine, there are no clinically significant changes in the plasma concentrations of combined oral contraceptives containing ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

7.7 Warfarin

A clinical study has shown that fesoterodine 8 mg once daily has no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics or the anticoagulant activity (PT/INR) of warfarin 25 mg. Standard therapeutic monitoring for warfarin should be continued [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

7.8 Drug-Laboratory Test Interactions

Interactions between Toviaz and laboratory tests have not been studied.

8.1 Pregnancy

8.2 Lactation

8.4 Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of Toviaz have been established for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in pediatric patients aged 6 years and older and weighing greater than 25 kg. The information on this use is discussed throughout labeling. Use of Toviaz for treatment of NDO is supported by evidence from a randomized, open-label trial with an initial 12-week efficacy phase followed by a 12-week safety extension phase in pediatric patients from 6 years to 17 years of age (Study 3) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14.2)]. Study results demonstrated that treatment with Toviaz 4 mg and 8 mg daily resulted in improvements from baseline to Week 12 in maximum cystometric bladder capacity (MCBC) for patients weighing greater than 25 kg [see Clinical Studies (14.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. The most commonly reported adverse reactions in patients who received Toviaz 4 mg or 8 mg in Study 3 (≥2%) were diarrhea, UTI, dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, weight increase and headache [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Mean increases from baseline in heart rate were reported with both the 4 mg and 8 mg daily doses of Toviaz, with larger mean increases reported in pediatric patients who received the 8 mg daily dose [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

The safety and effectiveness of Toviaz have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 6 years of age or weighing 25 kg or less.

8.5 Geriatric Use

No dose adjustment is recommended for the elderly. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine are not significantly influenced by age.

Of the 1,567 patients who received Toviaz 4 mg or 8 mg orally once daily in Phase 2 and 3, placebo-controlled, efficacy and safety studies for OAB, 515 (33%) were 65 years of age or older, and 140 (9%) were 75 years of age or older. No overall difference in effectiveness was observed between patients younger than 65 years of age and those 65 years of age or older in these studies. However, the incidence of antimuscarinic adverse reactions, including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, increase in residual urine, dizziness (8 mg only) and urinary tract infection, was higher in patients 75 years of age and older as compared to younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14.1) and Adverse Reactions (6)].

8.6 Renal Impairment

In adult patients with severe renal impairment (CLCR <30 mL/min), Cmax and AUC are increased 2.0- and 2.3-fold, respectively. Doses of Toviaz greater than 4 mg are not recommended in adult patients with severe renal impairment. In patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (CLCR ranging from 30–80 mL/min), Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased up to 1.5- and 1.8-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.3 )].

The recommended dosage of Toviaz in pediatric patients weighing greater than 25 kg and up to 35 kg with mild-to-moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 89 mL/min/1.73m2) is 4 mg once daily and Toviaz is not recommend in those with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73m2). In pediatric patients weighing greater than 35 kg with mild-to-moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 89 mL/min/1.73m2), the recommended starting dosage of Toviaz is 4 mg orally once daily, with increase to the recommended dosage of Toviaz 8 mg orally once daily, and in those with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73m2) the recommended dose is 4 mg once daily [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.4)].

8.7 Hepatic Impairment

Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) have not been studied; therefore Toviaz is not recommended for use in these patients. In patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Fesoterodine is a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist. After oral administration, fesoterodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed by nonspecific esterases to its active metabolite, 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, which is responsible for the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine.

Muscarinic receptors play a role in contractions of urinary bladder smooth muscle. Inhibition of these receptors in the bladder is presumed to be the mechanism by which fesoterodine produces its effects.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

In a urodynamic study involving patients with involuntary detrusor contractions, the effects after the administration of fesoterodine on the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity were assessed. Administration of fesoterodine increased the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity in a dose-dependent manner. These findings are consistent with an antimuscarinic effect on the bladder.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

14.1 Adult Overactive Bladder

The efficacy of Toviaz extended-release tablets was evaluated in two, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week studies for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency. Entry criteria required that patients have symptoms of overactive bladder for ≥6-months duration, at least 8 micturitions per day, and at least 6 urinary urgency episodes or 3 urge incontinence episodes per 3-day diary period. Patients were randomized to a fixed dose of Toviaz 4 or 8 mg/day or placebo. In one of these studies, 290 patients were randomized to an active control arm (an oral antimuscarinic agent). For the combined studies, a total of 554 patients received placebo, 554 patients received Toviaz 4 mg/day, and 566 patients received Toviaz 8 mg/day. The majority of patients were Caucasian (91%) and female (79%) with a mean age of 58 years (range 19–91 years).

The primary efficacy endpoints were the mean change in the number of urge urinary incontinence episodes per 24 hours and the mean change in the number of micturitions (frequency) per 24 hours. An important secondary endpoint was the mean change in the voided volume per micturition.

Results for the primary endpoints and for mean change in voided volume per micturition from the two 12-week clinical studies of Toviaz are reported in Table 10.

Figures 1–4: The following figures show change from baseline over time in number of micturitions and urge urinary incontinence episodes per 24 h in the two studies.

A reduction in number of urge urinary incontinence episodes per 24 hours was observed for both doses as compared to placebo as early as two weeks after starting Toviaz therapy.

14.2 Pediatric Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity

The efficacy of Toviaz was evaluated in Study 3 (NCT01557244), a Phase 3, randomized, open-label study consisting of a 12-week efficacy phase followed by a 12-week safety extension phase in pediatric patients from 6 years to 17 years of age. Two cohorts were studied. Cohort 1 (patients weighing greater than 25 kg) received a fixed dose of Toviaz 4 mg or Toviaz 8 mg tablets orally once daily, or once daily. In the safety extension phase, patients randomized to the active comparator were switched to Toviaz 4 mg or Toviaz 8 mg once daily. For study inclusion, patients were required to have stable neurological disease and clinically or urodynamically-demonstrated NDO. Cohort 2 patients weighing less than 25 kg received an investigational fesoterodine formulation.

During the 12-week efficacy phase, 124 patients (69 males and 55 females) were randomized to receive Toviaz 4 mg (N=42), Toviaz 8 mg (N=42), or active comparator (N=40) orally once daily. The majority of patients were Caucasian (52%) or Asian (44%) with a mean age of 11 years (range 6 years to 17 years) and a mean weight of 42.8 kg (range 25.1 to 96.0 kg).

Store at 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F); excursions permitted between 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Protect from moisture.

Angioedema

Inform patients and/or their caregivers that Toviaz may cause angioedema, which could result in life-threatening airway obstruction. Advise patients and/or their caregivers to promptly discontinue Toviaz and seek immediate medical attention if they experience edema of the lips, tongue or laryngopharynx, or difficulty breathing.

Antimuscarinic Effects

Inform patients that Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic agents, may produce clinically significant adverse effects related to antimuscarinic pharmacological activity including constipation and urinary retention. Toviaz, like other antimuscarinics, may be associated with blurred vision, therefore, patients should be advised to exercise caution in decisions to engage in potentially dangerous activities until the drug's effects on the patient have been determined. Heat prostration (due to decreased sweating) can occur when Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic drugs, is used in a hot environment.

Alcohol

Patients should also be informed that alcohol may enhance the drowsiness caused by Toviaz, like other anticholinergic agents.
