ANNEX ISUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCTLevetiracetam SUN 100 mg/ml concentrate for solution for infusion2.QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITIONEach ml contains 100 mg of levetiracetam.Each 5 ml vial contains 500 mg of levetiracetam.Excipients:Each vial contains 57 mg of sodium (11.4 mg/ml).For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1.3.PHARMACEUTICAL FORMConcentrate for solution for infusion (sterile concentrate).Clear, colourless concentrate.4.CLINICAL PARTICULARS4.1Therapeutic indicationsLevetiracetam SUN is indicated as monotherapy in the treatment of partial onset seizures with or without secondary generalisation in patients from 16 years of age with newly diagnosed epilepsy.Levetiracetam SUN is indicated as adjunctive therapy-in the treatment of partial onset seizures with or without secondary generalisation in adults and children from 4 years of age with epilepsy-in the treatment of myoclonic seizures in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy-in the treatment of primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age with Idiopathic Generalised Epilepsy.Levetiracetam SUN concentrate is an alternative for patients when oral administration is temporarily not feasible.4.2Posology and method of administrationPosologyMonotherapy for adults and adolescents from 16 years of ageThe recommended starting dose is 250 mg twice daily which should be increased to an initial therapeutic dose of 500 mg twice daily after two weeks. The dose can be further increased by 250 mg twice daily every two weeks depending upon the clinical response. The maximum dose is 1500 mg twice daily.Add-on therapy for adults (≥18 years) and adolescents (12 to 17 years) weighing 50 kg or moreThe initial therapeutic dose is 500 mg twice daily. This dose can be started on the first day of treatment.Depending upon the clinical response and tolerability, the daily dose can be increased up to 1,500 mg twice daily. Dose changes can be made in 500 mg twice daily increases or decreases every two to four weeks.Duration of treatmentSpecial populationsElderly (65 years and older)Adjustment of the dose is recommended in elderly patients with compromised renal function (see "Renal impairment" below).Renal impairmentThe daily dose must be individualised according to renal function.For adult patients, refer to the following table and adjust the dose as indicated. To use this dosing table, an estimate of the patient's creatinine clearance (CLcr) in ml/min is needed. The CLcr in ml/min may be estimated from serum creatinine (mg/dl) determination, for adults and adolescents weighting 50 kg or more, the following formula:[140-age (years)] x weight (kg)CLcr (ml/min) = -------------------------------------- (x 0.85 for women)72 x serum creatinine (mg/dl)Then CLcr is adjusted for body surface area (BSA) as follows:CLcr (ml/min)CLcr (ml/min/1.73 m2) = -------------------------------- x 1.73BSA subject (m2)Dosing adjustment for adult and adolescents patients weighing more than 50 kg with impaired renal functionGroup Creatinine clearance Dose and frequency(ml/min/1.73 m2)Normal > 80 500 to 1,500 mg twice dailyMild 50-79 500 to 1,000 mg twice daily Moderate 30-49 250 to 750 mg twice dailySevere < 30 250 to 500 mg twice dailyEnd-stage renal disease patients -- 500 to 1,000 mg once daily (2) undergoing dialysis (1)(1)A 750 mg loading dose is recommended on the first day of treatment with levetiracetam.(2)Following dialysis, a 250 to 500 mg supplemental dose is recommended.For children with renal impairment, levetiracetam dose needs to be adjusted based on the renal function as levetiracetam clearance is related to renal function. This recommendation is based on a study in adult renally impaired patients.The CLcr in ml/min/1.73 m2 may be estimated from serum creatinine (mg/dl) determination using, for young adolescents and children using the following formula (Schwartz formula):Height (cm) x ksCLcr (ml/min/1.73 m2) = -------------------------------------------Serum Creatinine (mg/dl)ks= 0.55 in Children to less than 13 years and in adolescent female; ks= 0.7 in adolescent male Dosing adjustment for children and adolescents patients weighing less than 50 kg with impaired renal functionlevetiracetam. (2) Following dialysis, a 5 to 10 mg/kg (0.05 to 0.10 ml/kg) supplemental dose is recommended. Hepatic impairment No dose adjustment is needed in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. In patients with severe hepatic impairment, the creatinine clearance may underestimate the renal insufficiency. Therefore a 50 % reduction of the daily maintenance dose is recommended when the creatinine clearance is < 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2. Paediatric population The physician should prescribe the most appropriate pharmaceutical form, presentation and strength according to age, weight and dose. Monotherapy The safety and efficacy of Levetiracetam SUN in children below and adolescents 16 years as monotherapy treatment have not been established. There are no data available. Add-on therapy for children aged 4 to 11 years and adolescents (12 to 17 years) weighing less than 50 kg The initial therapeutic dose is 10 mg/kg twice daily. Depending upon the clinical response and tolerability, the dose can be increased up to 30 mg/kg twice daily. Dose changes should not exceed increases or decreases of 10 mg/kg twice daily every two weeks. The lowest effective dose should be used. Dose in children 50 kg or greater is the same as in adults. (2) Dose in children and adolescents 50 kg or more is the same as in adults.Add-on therapy for infants and children less than 4 yearsThe safety and efficacy of Levetiracetam SUN concentrate for solution for infusion in infants and children less than 4 years have not been established.Currently available data are described in sections 4.8, 5.1, and 5.2 but no recommendation on a posology can be made.Method of administrationConversion to or from oral to intravenous administration can be done directly without titration. The total daily dose and frequency of administration should be maintained.Levetiracetam SUN concentrate is for intravenous use only and the recommended dose must be diluted in at least 100 ml of a compatible diluent and administered intravenously as a 15-minute intravenous infusion (see section 6.6).4.3ContraindicationsHypersensitivity to the active substance or other pyrrolidone derivatives or to any of the excipients.4.4Special warnings and precautions for useDiscontinuationIn accordance with current clinical practice, if levetiracetam has to be discontinued it is recommended to withdraw it gradually (e.g. in adults and adolescents weighing more than 50 kg: 500 mg decreases twice daily every two to four weeks; in children and adolescents weighting less than 50 kg: dose decrease should not exceed 10 mg/kg twice daily every two weeks).Renal insufficiencyThe administration of levetiracetam to patients with renal impairment may require dose adjustment. In patients with severely impaired hepatic function, assessment of renal function is recommended before dose selection (see section 4.2).SuicideSuicide, suicide attempt, suicidal ideation and behaviour have been reported in patients treated with anti-epileptic agents (including levetiracetam). A meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials of anti-epileptic medicinal products has shown a small increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviour. The mechanism of this risk is not known.Therefore patients should be monitored for signs of depression and/or suicidal ideation and behaviours and appropriate treatment should be considered. Patients (and caregivers of patients) should be advised to seek medical advice should signs of depression and/or suicidal ideation or behaviour emerge. Paediatric populationon learning, intelligence, growth, endocrine function, puberty and childbearing potential in children remain unknown.Excipientsinto consideration by patients on a controlled sodium diet.4.5Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interactionAntiepileptic medicinal productsinfluence the serum concentrations of existing antiepileptic medicinal products (phenytoin,carbamazepine, valproic acid, phenobarbital, lamotrigine, gabapentin and primidone) and that these antiepileptic medicinal products did not influence the pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam.As in adults, there is no evidence of clinically significant medicinal product interactions in paediatric patients receiving up to 60 mg/kg/day levetiracetam.A retrospective assessment of pharmacokinetic interactions in children and adolescents with epilepsy(4 to 17 years) confirmed that adjunctive therapy with orally administered levetiracetam did not influence the steady-state serum concentrations of concomitantly administered carbamazepine and valproate. However, data suggested a 20% higher levetiracetam clearance in children taking enzyme-inducing antiepileptic medicinal products. Dose adjustment is not required.ProbenecidProbenecid (500 mg four times daily), a renal tubular secretion blocking agent, has been shown to inhibit the renal clearance of the primary metabolite but not of levetiracetam. Nevertheless, the concentration of this metabolite remains low. It is expected that other medicinal products excreted by active tubular secretion could also reduce the renal clearance of the metabolite. The effect of levetiracetam on probenecid was not studied and the effect of levetiracetam on other actively secreted medicinal products, e.g. NSAIDs, sulfonamides and methotrexate, is unknown.Oral contraceptives and other pharmacokinetics interactionsLevetiracetam 1,000 mg daily did not influence the pharmacokinetics of oral contraceptives (ethinyl-estradiol and levonorgestrel); endocrine parameters (luteinizing hormone and progesterone) were not modified. Levetiracetam 2,000 mg daily did not influence the pharmacokinetics of digoxin and warfarin; prothrombin times were not modified. Co-administration with digoxin, oral contraceptives and warfarin did not influence the pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam.AlcoholNo data on the interaction of levetiracetam with alcohol are available.4.6Fertility,pregnancy and lactationPregnancyThere are no adequate data available from the use of levetiracetam in pregnant women. Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). The potential risk for human is unknown. Levetiracetam is not recommended during pregnancy and in women of childbearing potential not using contraception unless clearly necessary.As with other antiepileptic medicinal products, physiological changes during pregnancy may affect levetiracetam concentration. Decrease in levetiracetam plasma concentrations has been observed during pregnancy. This decrease is more pronounced during the third trimester (up to 60% of baseline concentration before pregnancy). Appropriate clinical management of pregnant women treated with levetiracetam should be ensured. Discontinuation of antiepileptic treatments may result in exacerbation of the disease which could be harmful to the mother and the foetus.BreastfeedingHowever, if levetiracetam treatment is needed during breastfeeding, the benefit/risk of the treatment should be weighed considering the importance of breastfeeding.Fertilitypotential risk for human is unknown.4.7Effects on ability to drive and use machinesNo studies on the effects on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed.Due to possible different individual sensitivity, some patients might experience somnolence or other central nervous system related symptoms, especially at the beginning of treatment or following a doseincrease. Therefore, caution is recommended in those patients when performing skilled tasks, e.g. driving vehicles or operating machinery. Patients are advised not to drive or use machines until it is established that their ability to perform such activities is not affected.4.8Undesirable effectsSummary of the safety profileThe adverse event profile presented below is based on the analysis of pooled placebo-controlled clinical trials with all indications studied, with a total of 3,416 patients treated with levetiracetam. These data are supplemented with the use of levetiracetam in corresponding open-label extension studies, as well as post-marketing experience. The most frequently reported adverse reactions were nasopharyngitis, somnolence, headache, fatigue and dizziness. The safety profile of levetiracetam is generally similar across age groups (adult and paediatric patients) and across the approved epilepsy indications. Since there was limited exposure for levetiracetam intravenous use and since oral and intravenous formulations are bioequivalent, the safety information of levetiracetam intravenous will rely on levetiracetam oral use.Tabulated list of adverse reactionsAdverse reactions reported in clinical studies (adults, adolescents, children and infants > 1 month) and from post-marketing experience are listed in the following table per System Organ Class and per frequency. The frequency is defined as follows: very common (≥1/10); common (≥ 1/100 to <1/10); uncommon: (≥ 1/1,000 to <1/100); rare (≥ 1/10,000 to <1/1,000) and very rare (<1/10,000).MedDRA SOC Frequency categoryUncommonMedDRA SOC Frequency categoryDescription of selected adverse reactionsThe risk of anorexia is higher when topiramate is coadministered with levetiracetam.In several cases of alopecia, recovery was observed when levetiracetam was discontinued. Paediatric populationIn patients aged 1 month to less than 4 years, a total of 190 patients have been treated with levetiracetam in placebo-controlled and open label extension studies. Sixty (60) of these patients were treated with levetiracetam in placebo-controlled studies. In patients aged 4-16 years, a total of 645 patients have been treated with levetiracetam in placebo-controlled and open label extension studies. 233 of these patients were treated with levetiracetam in placebo-controlled studies. In both these paediatric age ranges, these data are supplemented with the post-marketing experience of the use of levetiracetam.The adverse event profile of levetiracetam is generally similar across age groups and across the approved epilepsy indications. Safety results in paediatric patients in placebo-controlled clinical studies were consistent with the safety profile of levetiracetam in adults except for behavioural and psychiatric adverse reactions which were more common in children than in adults. In children and adolescents aged 4 to 16 years, vomiting (very common, 11.2%), agitation (common, 3.4%), mood swings (common, 2.1%), affect lability (common, 1.7%), aggression (common, 8.2%), abnormal behaviour (common, 5.6%), and lethargy (common, 3.9%) were reported more frequently than in other age ranges or in the overall safety profile. In infants and children aged 1 month to less than 4 years, irritability (very common, 11.7%) and coordination abnormal (common, 3.3%) were reported morefrequently than in other age groups or in the overall safety profile.A double-blind, placebo-controlled paediatric safety study with a non-inferiority design has assessed the cognitive and neuropsychological effects of levetiracetam in children 4 to 16 years of age with partial onset seizures. It was concluded that levetiracetam was not different (non inferior) from placebo with regard to the change from baseline of the Leiter-R Attention and Memory, Memory Screen Composite score in the per-protocol population. Results related to behavioural and emotional functioning indicated a worsening in levetiracetam treated patients on aggressive behaviour as measured in a standardized and systematic way using a validated instrument (CBCL – Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist).However subjects, who took levetiracetam in the long-term open label follow-up study, did not experience a worsening, on average, in their behavioural and emotional functioning; in particular measures of aggressive behavior were not worse than baseline.4.9 OverdoseSymptomsSomnolence, agitation, aggression, depressed level of consciousness, respiratory depression and coma were observed with levetiracetam overdoses.Management of overdoseThere is no specific antidote for levetiracetam. Treatment of an overdose will be symptomatic and may include haemodialysis. The dialyser extraction efficiency is 60 % for levetiracetam and 74 % for the primary metabolite.5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES5.1 Pharmacodynamic propertiesPharmacotherapeutic group: antiepileptics, other antiepileptics, ATC code: N03AX14.The active substance, levetiracetam, is a pyrrolidone derivative (S-enantiomer ofα-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetamide), chemically unrelated to existing antiepileptic active substances.Mechanism of actionThe mechanism of action of levetiracetam still remains to be fully elucidated but appears to be different from the mechanisms of current antiepileptic medicinal products. In vitro and in vivo experiments suggest that levetiracetam does not alter basic cell characteristics and normal neurotransmission.In vitro studies show that levetiracetam affects intraneuronal Ca2+ levels by partial inhibition of N-type Ca2+ currents and by reducing the release of Ca2+ from intraneuronal stores. In addition, it partially reverses the reductions in GABA- and glycine-gated currents induced by zinc and -carbolines. Furthermore, levetiracetam has been shown in in vitro studies to bind to a specific site in rodent brain tissue. This binding site is the synaptic vesicle protein 2A, believed to be involved in vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter exocytosis. Levetiracetam and related analogues show a rank order of affinity for binding to the synaptic vesicle protein 2A which correlates with the potency of their anti-seizure protection in the mouse audiogenic model of epilepsy. This finding suggests that the interaction between levetiracetam and the synaptic vesicle protein 2A seems to contribute to the antiepileptic mechanism of action of the medicinal product.Pharmacodynamic effectsLevetiracetam induces seizure protection in a broad range of animal models of partial and primary generalised seizures without having a pro-convulsant effect. The primary metabolite is inactive. In man, an activity in both partial and generalised epilepsy conditions (epileptiform discharge/ photoparoxysmal response) has confirmed the broad spectrum pharmacological profile of levetiracetam.Clinical efficacy and safetyAdjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial onset seizures with or without secondary generalisation in adults, adolescents and children from 4 years of age with epilepsy:In adults, levetiracetam efficacy has been demonstrated in 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled studies at 1000 mg, 2000 mg, or 3000 mg/day, given in 2 divided doses, with a treatment duration of up to 18 weeks. In a pooled analysis, the percentage of patients who achieved 50% or greater reduction from baseline in the partial onset seizure frequency per week at stable dose (12/14 weeks) was of 27.7%, 31.6% and 41.3% for patients on 1000, 2000 or 3000 mg levetiracetam respectively and of 12.6% for patients on placebo.Paediatric populationIn paediatric patients (4 to 16 years of age), levetiracetam efficacy was established in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, which included 198 patients and had a treatment duration of 14 weeks. In this study, the patients received levetiracetam as a fixed dose of 60 mg/kg/day (with twice a day dosing).44.6% of the levetiracetam treated patients and 19.6% of the patients on placebo had a 50% or greater reduction from baseline in the partial onset seizure frequency per week. With continued long-term treatment, 11.4% of the patients were seizure-free for at least 6 months and 7.2% were seizure-free for at least 1 year.Monotherapy in the treatment of partial onset seizures with or without secondary generalisation in patients from 16 years of age with newly diagnosed epilepsy.Efficacy of levetiracetam as monotherapy was established in a double-blind, parallel group, non-inferiority comparison to carbamazepine controlled release (CR) in 576 patients 16 years of age or older with newly or recently diagnosed epilepsy. The patients had to present with unprovoked partial seizures or with generalized tonic-clonic seizures only. The patients were randomized to carbamazepine CR 400 – 1200 mg/day or levetiracetam 1000 – 3000 mg/day, the duration of the treatment was up to 121 weeks depending on the response.Six-month seizure freedom was achieved in 73.0% of levetiracetam-treated patients and 72.8% of carbamazepine-CR treated patients; the adjusted absolute difference between treatments was 0.2% (95% CI: -7.8 8.2). More than half of the subjects remained seizure free for 12 months (56.6% and 58.5% of subjects on levetiracetam and on carbamazepine CR respectively).In a study reflecting clinical practice, the concomitant antiepileptic medication could be withdrawn in a limited number of patients who responded to levetiracetam adjunctive therapy (36 adult patients out of 69).Adjunctive therapy in the treatment of myoclonic seizures in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy.Levetiracetam efficacy was established in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 16 weeks duration, in patients 12 years of age and older suffering from idiopathic generalized epilepsy with myoclonic seizures in different syndromes. The majority of patients presented with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.In this study, levetiracetam, dose was 3000 mg/day given in 2 divided doses.58.3% of the levetiracetam treated patients and 23.3% of the patients on placebo had at least a 50% reduction in myoclonic seizure days per week. With continued long-term treatment, 28.6% of the patients were free of myoclonic seizures for at least 6 months and 21.0% were free of myoclonic seizures for at least 1 year.Adjunctive therapy in the treatment of primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age with idiopathic generalised epilepsy.Levetiracetam efficacy was established in a 24-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study which included adults, adolescents and a limited number of children suffering from idiopathic generalized epilepsy with primary generalized tonic-clonic (PGTC) seizures in different syndromes (juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, juvenile absence epilepsy, childhood absence epilepsy, or epilepsy with Grand Mal seizures on awakening). In this study, levetiracetam dose was 3000 mg/day for adults and adolescents or 60 mg/kg/day for children, given in 2 divided doses.72.2% of the levetiracetam treated patients and 45.2% of the patients on placebo had a 50% or greater decrease in the frequency of PGTC seizures per week. With continued long-term treatment, 47.4% of the patients were free of tonic-clonic seizures for at least 6 months and 31.5% were free of tonic-clonic seizures for at least 1 year.5.2 Pharmacokinetic propertiesThe pharmacokinetic profile has been characterized following oral administration. A single dose of 1500 mg levetiracetam diluted in 100 ml of a compatible diluent and infused intravenously over 15 minutes is bioequivalent to 1500 mg levetiracetam oral intake, given as three 500 mg tablets.The intravenous administration of doses up to 4000 mg diluted in 100 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride infused over 15 minutes and doses up to 2500 mg diluted in 100 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride infused over 5 minutes was evaluated. The pharmacokinetic and safety profiles did not identify any safety concerns.Levetiracetam is a highly soluble and permeable compound. The pharmacokinetic profile is linear with low intra- and inter-subject variability. There is no modification of the clearance after repeated administration. The time independent pharmacokinetic profile of levetiracetam was also confirmed following 1500 mg intravenous infusion for 4 days with b.i.d dosing.There is no evidence for any relevant gender, race or circadian variability. The pharmacokinetic profile is comparable in healthy volunteers and in patients with epilepsy.Adults and adolescentsDistributionPeak plasma concentration (C max) observed in 17 subjects following a single intravenous dose of 1500 mg infused over 15 minutes was 51 ± 19 μg/mL (arithmetic average ± standard deviation).No tissue distribution data are available in humans.Neither levetiracetam nor its primary metabolite are significantly bound to plasma proteins (< 10 %). The volume of distribution of levetiracetam is approximately 0.5 to 0.7 l/kg, a value close to the total body water volume.BiotransformationLevetiracetam is not extensively metabolised in humans. The major metabolic pathway (24 % of the dose) is an enzymatic hydrolysis of the acetamide group. Production of the primary metabolite, ucbL057, is not supported by liver cytochrome P450 isoforms. Hydrolysis of the acetamide group was measurable in a large number of tissues including blood cells. The metabolite ucb L057 is pharmacologically inactive.Two minor metabolites were also identified. One was obtained by hydroxylation of the pyrrolidone ring (1.6 % of the dose) and the other one by opening of the pyrrolidone ring (0.9 % of the dose). Other unidentified components accounted only for 0.6 % of the dose.No enantiomeric interconversion was evidenced in vivo for either levetiracetam or its primary metabolite.In vitro, levetiracetam and its primary metabolite have been shown not to inhibit the major human liver cytochrome P450 isoforms (CYP3A4, 2A6, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1 and 1A2), glucuronyl transferase (UGT1A1 and UGT1A6) and epoxide hydroxylase activities. In addition, levetiracetam does not affect the in vitro glucuronidation of valproic acid.In human hepatocytes in culture, levetiracetam had little or no effect on CYP1A2, SULT1E1 or UGT1A1. Levetiracetam caused mild induction of CYP2B6 and CYP3A4. The in vitro data and in vivo interaction data on oral contraceptives, digoxin and warfarin indicate that no significant enzyme induction is expected in vivo. Therefore, the interaction of levetiracetam with other substances, or vice versa, is unlikely.EliminationThe plasma half-life in adults was 7±1 hours and did not vary either with dose, route of administration or repeated administration. The mean total body clearance was 0.96 ml/min/kg.The major route of excretion was via urine, accounting for a mean 95 % of the dose (approximately 93 % of the dose was excreted within 48 hours). Excretion via faeces accounted for only 0.3 % of the dose.The cumulative urinary excretion of levetiracetam and its primary metabolite accounted for 66 % and 24 % of the dose, respectively during the first 48 hours.The renal clearance of levetiracetam and ucb L057 is 0.6 and 4.2 ml/min/kg respectively indicating that levetiracetam is excreted by glomerular filtration with subsequent tubular reabsorption and that the primary metabolite is also excreted by active tubular secretion in addition to glomerular filtration. Levetiracetam elimination is correlated to creatinine clearance.ElderlyIn the elderly, the half-life is increased by about 40 % (10 to 11 hours). This is related to the decrease in renal function in this population (see section 4.2).Renal impairmentThe apparent body clearance of both levetiracetam and of its primary metabolite is correlated to the creatinine clearance. It is therefore recommended to adjust the maintenance daily dose of levetiracetam, based on creatinine clearance in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment (see section 4.2).In anuric end-stage renal disease adult subjects the half-life was approximately 25 and 3.1 hours during interdialytic and intradialytic periods, respectively.The fractional removal of levetiracetam was 51 % during a typical 4-hour dialysis session.Hepatic impairmentIn subjects with mild and moderate hepatic impairment, there was no relevant modification of the clearance of levetiracetam. In most subjects with severe hepatic impairment, the clearance of levetiracetam was reduced by more than 50 % due to a concomitant renal impairment (see section 4.2).Peadiatric populationChildren (4 to 12 years)。

The KEPPRA dosing regimen depends on the indication, age group, dosage form (tablets or oral solution), and renal function.Prescribe the oral solution for pediatric p atients with body weight ≤ 20 kg. Prescribe the oral solution or tablets for pediatric patients with body weight above 20 kg.When using the oral solution in pediatric patients, dosing is weight-based (mg per kg) using a calibrated measuring device (not a household teaspoon or tablespoon).KEPPRA tablets should be swallowed whole. KEPPRA tablets should not be chewed or crushed.2.2 Partial Onset SeizuresAdults 16 Years and OlderIn clinical trials, daily doses of 1000 mg, 2000 mg, and 3000 mg, given as twice-daily dosing were shown to be effective. Although in some studies there was a tendency toward greater response with higher dose [see Clinical Studies (14.1)], a consistent increase in response with increased dose has not been shown.Treatment should be initiated with a daily dose of 1000 mg/day, given as twice-daily dosing (500 mg twice daily). Additional dosing increments may be given (1000 mg/day additional every 2 weeks) to a maximum recommended daily dose of 3000 mg. Doses greater than 3000 mg/day have been used in open-label studies for periods of 6 months and longer. There is no evidence that doses greater than 3000 mg/day confer additional benefit.Pediatric Patients1 Month to < 6 MonthsTreatment should be initiated with a daily dose of 14 mg/kg in 2 divided doses (7 mg/kg twice daily). The daily dose should be increased every 2 weeks by increments of 14 mg/kg to the recommended daily dose of 42 mg/kg(21 mg/kg twice daily). In the clinical trial, the mean daily dose was 35 mg/kg in this age group. Theeffectiveness of lower doses has not been studied.6 Months to <4 Years:Treatment should be initiated with a daily dose of 20 mg/kg in 2 divided doses (10 mg/kg twice daily). The daily dose should be increased in 2 weeks by an increment of 20 mg/kg to the recommended daily dose of 50 mg/kg (25 mg/kg twice daily). If a patient cannot tolerate a daily dose of 50 mg/kg, the daily dose may be reduced. In the clinical trial, the mean daily dose was 47 mg/kg in this age group.4 Years to < 16 YearsTreatment should be initiated with a daily dose of 20 mg/kg in 2 divided doses (10 mg/kg twice daily). The daily dose should be increased every 2 weeks by increments of 20 mg/kg to the recommended daily dose of 60 mg/kg (30 mg/kg twice daily). If a patient cannot tolerate a daily dose of 60 mg/kg, the daily dose may be reduced. In the clinical efficacy trial, the mean daily dose was 44 mg/kg. The maximum daily dose was 3000 mg/day.For KEPPRA tablet dosing in pediatric patients weighing 20 to 40 kg, treatment should be initiated with a daily dose of 500 mg given as twice daily dosing (250 mg twice daily). The daily dose should be increased every 2 weeks by increments of 500 mg to a maximum recommended daily dose of 1500 mg (750 mg twice daily).For KEPPRA tablet dosing in pediatric patients weighing more than 40 kg, treatment should be initiated with a daily dose of 1000 mg/day given as twice daily dosing (500 mg twice daily). The daily dose should be increased every 2 weeks by increments of 1000 mg/day to a maximum recommended daily dose of 3000 mg (1500 mg twice daily).KEPPRA Oral Solution Weight-Based Dosing Calculation For Pediatric PatientsThe following calculation should be used to determine the appropriate daily dose of oral solution for pediatric patients:Daily dose (mg/kg/day) x patient weight (kg)Total daily dose (mL/day) = ----------------------------------------­100 mg/mL2.3 Myoclonic Seizures in Patients 12 Years of Age and Older with Juvenile Myoclonic EpilepsyTreatment should be initiated with a dose of 1000 mg/day, given as twice-daily dosing (500 mg twice daily). Dosage should be increased by 1000 mg/day every 2 weeks to the recommended daily dose of 3000 mg. The effectiveness of doses lower than 3000 mg/day has not been studied.2.4 Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic SeizuresAdults 16 Years and OlderTreatment should be initiated with a dose of 1000 mg/day, given as twice-daily dosing (500 mg twice daily). Dosage should be increased by 1000 mg/day every 2 weeks to the recommended daily dose of 3000 mg. The effectiveness of doses lower than 3000 mg/day has not been adequately studied.Pediatric Patients Ages 6 to <16 YearsTreatment should be initiated with a daily dose of 20 mg/kg in 2 divided doses (10 mg/kg twice daily). The daily dose should be increased every 2 weeks by increments of 20 mg/kg to the recommended daily dose of 60 mg/kg (30 mg/kg twice daily). The effectiveness of doses lower than 60 mg/kg/day has not been adequately studied. Patients with bo dy weight ≤20 kg should be dosed with oral solution. Patients with body weight above 20 kg can be dosed with either tablets or oral solution [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. Only whole tablets should be administered.2.5 Adult Patients with Impaired Renal FunctionKEPPRA dosing must be individualized according to the patient’s renal function status. Recommended doses and adjustment for dose for adults are shown in Table 1. In order to calculate the dose recommended forpatients with renal impairment, creatinine clearance adjusted for body surface area must be calculated. To do this an estimate of the patient’s creatinine clearance (CLcr) in mL/min must first be calculated using the following formula:[140-age (years)] x weight (kg) (x 0.85-----------------------------------------for femaleCLcr=72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL) patients)Then CLcr is adjusted for body surface area (BSA) as follows:CLcr (mL/min)CLcr (mL/min/1.73m2)= ----------------------------x 1.73BSA subject (m2)Table 1: Dosing Adjustment Regimen For Adult Patients With Impaired Renal FunctionGroup Creatinine Clearance(mL/min/1.73m2)Dosage (mg) FrequencyNormal > 80 500 to 1,500 Every 12 hoursMild 50 – 80 500 to 1,000 Every 12 hoursModerate 30 – 50 250 to 750 Every 12 hoursSevere ESRD patients < 30---­250 to 500500 to 1,0001Every 12 hoursEvery 24 hours1using dialysis1 Following dialysis, a 250 to 500 mg supplemental dose is recommended.3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHSKEPPRA 250 mg tablets are blue, oblong-shaped, scored, film-coated, and debossed with "ucb 250" on one side.KEPPRA 500 mg tablets are yellow, oblong-shaped, scored, film-coated, and debossed with "ucb 500" on one side.KEPPRA 750 mg tablets are orange, oblong-shaped, scored, film-coated, and debossed with "ucb 750" on one side.KEPPRA 1000 mg tablets are white, oblong-shaped, scored, film-coated, and debossed with “ucb 1000” on one side.KEPPRA 100 mg/mL oral solution is a clear, colorless, grape-flavored liquid.4 CONTRAINDICATIONSNone.5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS5.1 Psychiatric ReactionsIn some patients KEPPRA causes behavioral abnormalities. The incidences of behavioral abnormalities in the myoclonic and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizure studies were comparable to those of the adult and pediatric partial onset seizure studies.A total of 13.3% of adult KEPPRA-treated patients and 37.6% of pediatric KEPPRA-treated patients (4 to 16years of age) compared to 6.2% and 18.6% of adult and pediatric placebo patients respectively, experienced non-psychotic behavioral symptoms (reported as aggression, agitation, anger, anxiety, apathy, depersonalization, depression, emotional lability, hostility, hyperkinesias, irritability, nervousness, neurosis, and personalitydisorder). A randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study was performed to assess the neurocognitive and behavioral effects of KEPPRA as adjunctive therapy in pediatric patients (4 to 16 years of age). The results from an exploratory analysis indicated a worsening in KEPPRA-treated patients on aggressive behavior (one of eight behavior dimensions) as measured in a standardized and systematic way using a validated instrument, the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/6-18).In pediatric patients 1 month to < 4 years of age, irritability was reported in 11.7% of the KEPPRA-treated patients compared to 0% of placebo patients.A total of 1.7% of adult KEPPRA-treated patients discontinued treatment due to behavioral adverse events, compared to 0.2% of placebo patients. The treatment dose was reduced in 0.8% of adult KEPPRA-treated patients and in 0.5% of placebo patients. Overall, 10.9% of KEPPRA-treated pediatric patients experienced behavioral symptoms associated with discontinuation or dose reduction, compared to 6.2% of placebo patients. One percent of adult KEPPRA-treated patients, 2% of children 4 to 16 years of age, and 17% of children 1 month to <4 years of age experienced psychotic symptoms, compared to 0.2%, 2%, and 5% respectively, in the placebo patients. In the controlled study that assessed the neurocognitive and behavioral effects of KEPPRA in pediatric patients 4 to 16 years of age, 1 (1.6%) KEPPRA-treated patient experienced paranoia compared to no placebo patients. There were 2 (3.1%) KEPPRA-treated patients that experienced confusional state compared to no placebo patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].Two (0.3%) adult KEPPRA-treated patients were hospitalized and their treatment was discontinued due to psychosis. Both events, reported as psychosis, developed within the first week of treatment and resolved within 1 to 2 weeks following treatment discontinuation. There was no difference between drug and placebo-treated patients in the incidence of the pediatric patients who discontinued treatment due to psychotic and non-psychotic adverse reactions.The above psychiatric signs and symptoms should be monitored.5.2 Suicidal Behavior and IdeationAntiepileptic drugs (AEDs), including KEPPRA, increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication. Patients treated with any AED for any indication should be monitored for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behavior.Pooled analyses of 199 placebo-controlled clinical trials (mono-and adjunctive therapy) of 11 different AEDs showed that patients randomized to one of the AEDs had approximately twice the risk (adjusted Relative Risk 1.8, 95% CI:1.2, 2.7) of suicidal thinking or behavior compared to patients randomized to placebo. In these trials, which had a median treatment duration of 12 weeks, the estimated incidence rate of suicidal behavior or ideation among 27,863 AED-treated patients was 0.43%, compared to 0.24% among 16,029 placebo-treated patients, representing an increase of approximately one case of suicidal thinking or behavior for every 530 patients treated. There were four suicides in drug-treated patients in the trials and none in placebo-treated patients, but the number is too small to allow any conclusion about drug effect on suicide.The increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior with AEDs was observed as early as one week after starting drug treatment with AEDs and persisted for the duration of treatment assessed. Because most trials included in the analysis did not extend beyond 24 weeks, the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior beyond 24 weeks could not be assessed.The risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior was generally consistent among drugs in the data analyzed. The finding of increased risk with AEDs of varying mechanisms of action and across a range of indications suggests that the risk applies to all AEDs used for any indication. The risk did not vary substantially by age (5-100 years) in the clinical trials analyzed. Table 2 shows absolute and relative risk by indication for all evaluated AEDs.Table 2: Risk by indication for antiepileptic drugs in the pooled analysisIndication PlaceboPatients withEvents Per1000Patients DrugPatients withEvents Per1000PatientsRelative Risk:Incidence of Eventsin DrugPatients/Incidencein Placebo PatientsRisk Difference:Additional DrugPatients withEvents Per 1000PatientsEpilepsy 1.0 3.4 3.5 2.4Psychiatric 5.7 8.5 1.5 2.9Other 1.0 1.8 1.9 0.9Total 2.4 4.3 1.8 1.9The relative risk for suicidal thoughts or behavior was higher in clinical trials for epilepsy than in clinical trials for psychiatric or other conditions, but the absolute risk differences were similar for the epilepsy and psychiatric indications.Anyone considering prescribing KEPPRA or any other AED must balance the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors with the risk of untreated illness. Epilepsy and many other illnesses for which AEDs are prescribed are themselves associated with morbidity and mortality and an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Should suicidal thoughts and behavior emerge during treatment, the prescriber needs to consider whether the emergence of these symptoms in any given patient may be related to the illness being treated.Patients, their caregivers, and families should be informed that AEDs increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior and should be advised of the need to be alert for the emergence or worsening of the signs and symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts, behavior, or thoughts about self-harm. Behaviors of concern should be reported immediately to healthcare providers.5.3 Somnolence and FatigueIn some patients, KEPPRA causes somnolence and fatigue. The incidences of somnolence and fatigue provided below are from controlled adult partial onset seizure studies. In general, the incidences of somnolence and fatigue in the pediatric partial onset seizure studies, and in pediatric and adult myoclonic and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizure studies were comparable to those of the adult partial onset seizure studies.In controlled trials of adult patients with epilepsy experiencing partial onset seizures, 14.8% of KEPPRA-treated patients reported somnolence, compared to 8.4% of placebo patients. There was no clear dose response up to 3000 mg/day. In a study where there was no titration, about 45% of patients receiving 4000 mg/day reported somnolence. The somnolence was considered serious in 0.3% of the treated patients, compared to 0% in the placebo group. About 3% of KEPPRA-treated patients discontinued treatment due to somnolence, compared to 0.7% of placebo patients. In 1.4% of treated patients and in 0.9% of placebo patients the dose was reduced, while 0.3% of the treated patients were hospitalized due to somnolence.In controlled trials of adult patients with epilepsy experiencing partial onset seizures, 14.7% of KEPPRA-treated patients reported asthenia, compared to 9.1% of placebo patients. Treatment was discontinued due to asthenia in 0.8% of treated patients as compared to 0.5% of placebo patients. In 0.5% of treated patients and in 0.2% of placebo patients the dose was reduced due to asthenia.Somnolence and asthenia occurred most frequently within the first 4 weeks of treatment.Patients should be monitored for these signs and symptoms and advised not to drive or operate machinery until they have gained sufficient experience on KEPPRA to gauge whether it adversely affects their ability to drive or operate machinery.5.4 Serious Dermatological ReactionsSerious dermatological reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have been reported in both children and adults treated with levetiracetam. The median time of onset is reported to be 14 to 17 days, but cases have been reported at least four months after initiation of treatment. Recurrence of the serious skin reactions following rechallenge with levetiracetam has also been reported. Keppra should be discontinued at the first sign of a rash, unless the rash is clearly not drug-related. If signs or symptoms suggest SJS/TEN, use of this drug should not be resumed and alternative therapy should be considered.5.5 Coordination DifficultiesCoordination difficulties were only observed in the adult partial onset seizure studies. A total of 3.4% of adult KEPPRA-treated patients experienced coordination difficulties, (reported as either ataxia, abnormal gait, or incoordination) compared to 1.6% of placebo patients. A total of 0.4% of patients in controlled trials discontinued KEPPRA treatment due to ataxia, compared to 0% of placebo patients. In 0.7% of treated patients and in 0.2% of placebo patients the dose was reduced due to coordination difficulties, while one of the treated patients was hospitalized due to worsening of pre-existing ataxia. These events occurred most frequently within the first 4 weeks of treatment.Patients should be monitored for these signs and symptoms and advised not to drive or operate machinery until they have gained sufficient experience on KEPPRA to gauge whether it could adversely affect their ability to drive or operate machinery.5.6 Withdrawal SeizuresAntiepileptic drugs, including KEPPRA, should be withdrawn gradually to minimize the potential of increased seizure frequency.5.7 Hematologic AbnormalitiesPartial Onset SeizuresAdultsMinor, but statistically significant, decreases compared to placebo in total mean RBC count (0.03 x 106/mm3), mean hemoglobin (0.09 g/dL), and mean hematocrit (0.38%), were seen in KEPPRA-treated patients in controlled trials.A total of 3.2% of treated and 1.8% of placebo patients had at least one possibly significant (≤2.8 x 109/L) decreased WBC, and 2.4% of treated and 1.4% of placebo patients had at least one possibly significant (≤1.0 x 109/L) decreased neutrophil count. Of the treated patients with a low neutrophil count, all but one rose towards or to baseline with continued treatment. No patient was discontinued secondary to low neutrophil counts. Pediatric Patients 4 Years to < 16 YearsStatistically significant decreases in WBC and neutrophil counts were seen in KEPPRA-treated patients as compared to placebo. The mean decreases from baseline in the KEPPRA-treated group were -0.4 × 109/L and ­0.3 × 109/L, respectively, whereas there were small increases in the placebo group. Mean relative lymphocyte counts increased by 1.7% in KEPPRA-treated patients, compared to a decrease of 4% in placebo patients (statistically significant).In the controlled trial, more KEPPRA-treated patients had a possibly clinically significant abnormally low WBC value (3.0% KEPPRA-treated versus 0% placebo), however, there was no apparent difference between treatment groups with respect to neutrophil count (5.0% KEPPRA-treated versus 4.2% placebo). No patient was discontinued secondary to low WBC or neutrophil counts.In the controlled cognitive and neuropsychological safety study, two subjects (6.1%) in the placebo group and 5 subjects (8.6%) in the KEPPRA-treated group had high eosinophil count values that were possibly clinically significant (≥10% or ≥0.7X109/L).Juvenile Myoclonic EpilepsyAlthough there were no obvious hematologic abnormalities observed in patients with JME, the limited number of patients makes any conclusion tentative. The data from the partial seizure patients should be considered to be relevant for JME patients.5.8 Blood Pressure IncreasesIn a randomized, placebo-controlled study in patients aged 1 month to <4 years of age, a significantly higher risk of at least one measured increase in diastolic blood pressure was observed in the KEPPRA-treated patients (17%) compared to the placebo-treated patients (2%). There was no overall difference in mean diastolic blood pressure between the treatment groups. This disparity between the KEPPRA and placebo treatment groups was not observed in the studies of older children or in adults.5.9 Seizure Control During PregnancyPhysiological changes may gradually decrease plasma levels of levetiracetam throughout pregnancy. This decrease is more pronounced during the third trimester. It is recommended that patients be monitored carefully during pregnancy. Close monitoring should continue through the postpartum period especially if the dose was changed during pregnancy.6 ADVERSE REACTIONSThe following adverse reactions are discussed in more details in other sections of labeling:•Psychiatric Symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]•Suicidal Behavior and Ideation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]•Somnolence and Fatigue [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]•Serious Dermatological Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]•Coordination Difficulties [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]•Withdrawal Seizures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]•Hematologic Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)]•Blood Pressure Increases [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)]•Seizure Control During Pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)]6.1 Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause 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.The prescriber should be aware that the adverse reaction incidence figures in the following tables, obtained when KEPPRA was added to concurrent AED therapy, cannot be used to predict the frequency of adverse reactions in the course of usual medical practice where patient characteristics and other factors may differ from those prevailing during clinical trials. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be directly compared with figures obtained from other clinical investigations involving different treatments, uses, or investigators. An inspection of these frequencies, however, does provide the prescriber with one basis to estimate the relative contribution of drug and non-drug factors to the adverse reaction incidences in the population studied.Partial Onset SeizuresAdults。

精力病反响KEPPRA导致一些患者行动平常.在肌阵挛和原发性全身强直性阵挛发生发火研讨中,行动平常的产生率与成人部分性发生发火研讨中的产生率具有可比性.非精力病行动症状(报导如进击.冲动.恼怒.焦炙.情感淡漠.损掉人道.情感不稳.敌意.易激愤和神经质):KEPPRA治疗的成人患者(13.3%),安慰剂组(6.2%).因行动不良事宜而停滞治疗:KEPPRA治疗的成人患者(1.7%),安慰剂组(0.2%);剂量削减:KEPPRA治疗的成人患者(0.8%),安慰剂组(0.5%).精力病症状:KEPPRA治疗的成人患者(1%),安慰剂组(0.2%).住院:KEPPRA治疗的成人患者,2例患者因精力病住院(0.3%)并停滞治疗.2个事宜,报导为精力病,第1周产生,1~2周内停滞治疗.需监测以上精力病征兆和症状.5.2 嗜睡和疲惫KEPPRA导致一些患者嗜睡和疲惫.以下嗜睡和疲惫的产生率来自于成人部分性发生发火对比研讨.总之,肌阵挛和原发性强直性研讨中嗜睡和疲惫的产生率与成人部分性发生发火研讨中的产生率具有可比性.在部分性发生发火的癫痫成人患者的对比研讨中,报导嗜睡,左乙拉西坦治疗相干的患者14.8%,安慰剂组8.4%.剂量达3000mg/kg 无明显的剂量反响.研讨中无滴定剂量,服用4000mg/kg的患者,约45%报导嗜睡.轻微嗜睡,治疗组0.3%,安慰剂组0%.因嗜睡停滞治疗的患者,左乙拉西坦组约3%,安慰剂组0.7%.因嗜睡剂量削减的患者,治疗组1.4%,安慰剂组0.9%.因嗜睡住院的患者,治疗组0.3%.在部分性发生发火的癫痫成人患者的对比实验中,报导疲惫:治疗组14.7%,安慰剂组9.1%.因疲惫停滞治疗:治疗组0.8%,安慰剂组0.5%.因疲惫削减剂量:治疗组0.5%,安慰剂组0.2%.治疗的前4周最罕有的不良反响是嗜睡和疲惫.需监测患者的这些征兆和症状,在未充分获得关于左乙拉西坦是否会影响患者开车或操纵机械装备的才能的经验前,建议患者不要开车或操纵机械装备.5.3 轻微皮肤病反响已有患者报导运用左乙拉西坦治疗产生轻微皮肤病反响,包含Stevens-Johnson分解征(SJS)和中毒性表皮坏逝世松解症(TEN).开端的中位时光14~17天,均在开端治疗后至少4个月才报导.也有从新运用左乙拉西坦后轻微皮肤反响复发的报导.当消失一个疹时,除非与药物无关,不然停滞运用左乙拉西坦.假如标明为SJS/TEN的征兆或5症状时,不得从新运用该药物并斟酌其他治疗办法.5.4 调和艰苦调和艰苦(报导如共济掉调.平常步态或动作掉调)仅在部分性发生发火的成人患者的研讨中不雅察到,左乙拉西坦组3.4%,安慰剂组1.6%.在对比实验中,因共济掉调处止治疗:左乙拉西坦组0.4%,安慰剂组0%;因调和艰苦削减剂量:治疗组(0.7%)和安慰剂组(0.2%)个中治疗组的一例患者因以往的共济掉调恶化而住院治疗.这些事宜为治疗前4周内最罕有的不良反响.需监测患者的这些征兆和症状,在充分未获得关于左乙拉西坦是否会影响患者开车或操纵机械装备的才能的经验前,建议患者不要开车或操纵机械装备.5.5 撤药痉挛抗癫痫药物,包含KEPPRA,需逐渐削减以削减增长发生发火频率的可能性.5.6 血液学平常部分性发生发火在对比临床研讨中,与安慰剂比,可见左乙拉西坦治疗患者的总平均RBC数(0.03x106/mm3).平均血红蛋白(0.09g/dL)和平均血细胞比容(0.38%)微量削减,但有统计学意义.WBC明显降低(≤2.8 x109/L),左乙拉西坦组(3.2%),安慰剂组(1.8%);中性白细胞数明显降低(≤1.0x109/L),至少有一个可能的意义,左乙拉西坦组(2.4%),安慰剂组(1.4%).左乙拉西坦治疗的患者中性粒细胞数低,中断治疗除1破例其余均升高或达基线值,无患者因继发于中性粒细胞少而停滞治疗.青少年肌阵挛性癫痫固然JME患者无明显的血液学平常,但患者数目有限得出实验性结论.以为起源于部分性发生发火患者的数据与JME患者相干.5.7 怀胎时代掌握发生发火怀胎时代的心理变更可逐渐降低左乙拉西坦的血浆程度,怀胎晚期降低尤为明显.怀胎时代需当心监测,假如在怀胎时代剂量产生转变时,产后期应中断亲密监测. 6 不良反响以下不良反响在其他章节有具体评论辩论:•精力病反响[见警告与留意事项(5.1)]•嗜睡和疲惫[见警告与留意事项(5.2)]•轻微皮肤病反响[见警告与留意事项(5.3)]•调和艰苦[见警告与留意事项(5.4)]6•撤药痉挛[见警告与留意事项(5.5)]•血液学平常[见警告与留意事项(5.6)]•怀胎时代掌握发生发火[见警告与留意事项(5.7)]6.1 临床经验因为临床实验是在一个变更的前提下进行的,药物临床实验中不雅察的不良反响产生率不克不及直接与其他药物临床实验的不良反响产生率比拟较,它可能不克不及反应现实中药物的不良反响产生率.KEPPRA打针剂的不良反响包含KEPPRA片剂和口服液报导的全体不良反响.静脉打针KEPPRA的剂量(滴注15min)与口服KEPPRA的剂量相当,两者的Cmax.Cmin和全身吐露量也相当.处方医师需留意以下表格所列不良反响的产生率,包含KEPPRA作为AED治疗的帮助药物时,在通例医疗实践中,患者特点及其他身分可能都不合于临床实验中罕有的,是以医师不克不及猜测不良反响的产生率.同样地,所引用的频率不克不及直接与其他临床监测到的数据比拟较,因为其他临床监测中涉及到治疗.运用和研讨对象都不合.尽管如斯,在种群研讨中,这些数据仍可以作为处方医师评估药物或非药物与不良反响产生率相干性的一个根据. 部分性发生发火在部分性发生发火的成人患者服用KEPPRA片剂的对比临床研讨中,患者合用KEPPRA与其他AEDs,最罕有且产生率高于安慰剂的不良反响:嗜睡.疲惫.沾染和眩晕.部分性发生发火的成人患者最罕有的不良反响为疲惫.嗜睡和眩晕,重要产生在治疗的前4周内.表4列出了在安慰剂对比研讨中,运用左乙拉西坦片治疗的成人癫痫患者,产生率至少为1%且高于安慰剂组的不良反响.在这些研讨中,左乙拉西坦或安慰剂作为AED治疗的帮助药物,不良反响常为轻中度.表4:在成人部分性发生发火的安慰剂对比.添加研讨中(KEPPRA

本研讨小而不克不及精确描写可能导致停滞治疗的不良反响的特点,估计导致停滞治疗的不良反响可能与其他癫痫实验类似(见表5和7).别的,以下为其他掌握优越的KEPPRA成人研讨中所见的不良反响:均衡障碍.留意力的干扰.湿疹.记忆缺点.肌痛和视觉隐约.性别.年纪和种族以下为左乙拉西坦上市后的不良反响,这些不良反响来自不肯定人群大小的自觉陈述,是以也不大可能评估其产生频率或肯定与药物的相干性.除上述列出的不良反响 [见不良反响(6.1)]外,以下不良反响均为上市后全球所报导的,依次为:肝功效测试平常.跳舞徐动症.活动障碍.多形性红斑.肝功效虚弱.肝炎.低钠血症.白细胞削减.肌无力.中性粒细胞削减.胰腺炎.全血细胞削减(经判定一些病例为骨髓克制).惊骇发生发火.血小板削减和体重降低,也有报导脱发,大多半不良反响停滞运用左乙拉西坦后恢复. 7药物互相感化左乙拉西坦及其重要代谢物与其它经肝酶P450亚型.环氧物酶.UDP-葡萄苷酸化10酶.pg蛋白或肾小管渗出的药物合用,无明显的药代学互相感化[见临床药理学(12.3)].8特别人群8.1 怀胎怀胎时代KEPPRA程度可能降低[见警告与留意事项(5.7)].怀胎分类C在怀胎妇女中尚无充足且掌握优越的研讨,在动物研讨中,左乙拉西坦具有明显的发育毒性,包含致畸感化,剂量与人体治疗剂量类似或更高.怀胎时代,仅当对胎儿的潜在获益高于潜在风险时运用左乙拉西坦.雌性大鼠怀胎和哺乳时代,赐与左乙拉西坦剂量≥350mg/kg/d(按体概况积比mg/m2推算相当于人体最大推举剂量3000mg[MRHD]),增长幼崽骨骼畸形和子女出生前或出生后的智力发育迟缓的几率,剂量为1800mg/kg/d(按体概况积比mg/m2推算相当于MRHD的6倍)增长幼崽逝世亡率和子女行动转变.剂量为70mg/kg/d(按体概况积比mg/m2推算相当于MRHD的0.2倍)对发育无影响.该研讨所用剂量对母体无明显毒性.怀胎家兔在器官形成期给药,左乙拉西坦的剂量≥600mg/kg/d(按mg/m2推算相当于MRHD的4倍),可见胚胎—胎仔逝世亡率增长和胎仔骨骼平常产生,剂量为1800mg/kg/d(按mg/m2推算相当于MRHD的12倍)时,可见胎仔体重降低,胎仔畸形产生率增长,并可见母体毒性.剂量为200mg/kg/d(按mg/m2推算相当于MRHD)对发育无影响.怀胎大鼠在器官形成期给药,剂量为3600mg/kg/d(按mg/m2推算相当于MRHD的12倍),可见胎仔体重降低和胎仔骨骼变异产生率增长.剂量为1200mg/kg/d(按mg/m2推算相当于MRHD的4倍)对发育无影响,本研讨未见母体毒性.大鼠在怀胎第3期和全部哺乳期给药,剂量达1800mg/kg/d(按mg/m2推算相当于MRHD的6倍)对发育和母体无不良影响.怀胎登记为供给更多关于怀胎妇女子宫吐露于左乙拉西坦的信息,请求医师推举怀胎患者服用KEPPRA入组NAAED怀胎登记体系,德律风(888)233-2334进行登记.为获得更多关于左乙拉西坦对妊妇的安然及其今后健康的影响的材料,UCB公司树立了KEPPRA怀胎登记体系.为确保海外患者可以登录该体系,患者或者其护理人员皆可经由过程拨打免税德律风(888)537-7734进行登记.8.2 阵痛和临蓐尚不清晰左乙拉西坦对阵痛和临蓐的影响.8.3 哺乳左乙拉西坦可渗出到人体乳汁中.因为左乙拉西坦对哺乳婴儿消失潜在轻微不良反11应,需衡量利弊停滞哺乳或停滞用药,特别要斟酌药物对母亲的重要性.8.4 儿童患者尚未肯定左乙拉西坦打针液对16岁以下患者的安然性和有用性.8.5 老年患者左乙拉西坦临床研讨的全体患者,个中347例患者为65岁及以上.老年个别与年青个别之间的安然性无差别.在癫痫对比研讨中,因为老年患者数目少,不克不及充分评估左乙拉西坦对这些患者的有用性.左乙拉西坦经肾脏渗出,该药物对肾功效伤害患者的不良反响风险可能更大.因为老年患者肾功效降低的可能性更大,是以选择剂量时需当心谨严,并细心监测肾功效[见临床药理学(12.3)].8.6 肾功效伤害患者左乙拉西坦在肾功效伤害患者的清除率降低,且与肌酐清除率相干[见临床药理学(12.3)].推举肾功效伤害患者调剂剂量,透析后要填补剂量[见剂量与给药办法(2.6)]. 10 过量10.1 人体急性过量的征兆.症状和实验室检讨成果在临床进展研讨中,已知口服左乙拉西坦最高剂量为6000mg/d,除嗜睡外,无其他不良反响.上市后过量运用左乙拉西坦可见嗜睡.激愤.进击.意识压制.呼吸克制和晕厥的病例.10.2 过量治理过量服用KEPPRA后没有特异性解毒剂,假如有解释,不接收的药物应当经由过程吐逆或者洗胃来清除,一般在服用药物之前都应当浏览留意事项.一般支撑疗法包含性命体征的监测以及患者临床状况的不雅察.当过量服用KEPPRA时,要与毒药掌握认证中间接洽并获取药物过量治理的最新信息.在尺度透析进程中清除了左乙拉西坦(4h约50%),是以可以斟酌用于药物过量的病例.固然透析尚未用于过量病例,但它可经由过程患者的临床状况或肾功效轻微伤害的患者标明.11性状KEPPRA打针剂是一种用于静脉打针的无色无菌澄清的抗癫痫液体系体例剂(100mg/mL).左乙拉西坦是单一对映异构体,化学名称:(-)-(S)-α-乙基-2-氧-1-吡咯烷乙酰胺,分子式:C8H14N2O2,分子量:170.21.左乙拉西坦的化学构造与其他抗癫痫药物的构造12无关,构造式如下:左乙拉西坦为白色至类白色结晶性粉末,微臭,苦味.极易溶于水(104.0g/100mL).易溶于氯仿(65.3g/100mL)及甲醇(53.6g/100mL),溶于乙醇(16.5g/100mL),略溶于乙腈(5.7g/100mL),几乎不溶于正己烷.1mLKEPPRA打针液含100mg左乙拉西坦,一次性运用的5mL小瓶中含500mg左乙拉西坦.打针用水.45mg氯化钠.冰醋酸和8.2mg三水合醋酸钠缓冲溶液,pH约为5.5.KEPPRA打针剂静脉滴注前必须稀释[见剂量与给药办法(2.1)].12 临床药理学尚不清晰左乙拉西坦确实的感化机制,在多个癫痫发生发火动物模子中评估了左乙拉西坦的抗癫痫感化.左乙拉西坦对电流或多种化学惊厥剂最大刺激引诱的单纯癫痫发生发火无克制造用,并在亚最大刺激和阈值实验中仅显示微弱的活性.但对毛果芸喷鼻碱和红藻氨基酸引诱的局灶性发生发火继发的全身性发生发火不雅察到呵护感化,这两种化学致惊厥剂能模拟一些人伴继发性全身发生发火的庞杂部分性发生发火的特点.左乙拉西坦对庞杂部分性发生发火的大鼠点燃模子的点燃进程和点燃状况均具有克制造用.这些动物模子对人体特定癫痫的猜测价值尚不明白.体内.体外实验显示:左乙拉西坦克制海马癫痫样突发放电,而对正常的神经元高兴性无影响,提醒左乙拉西坦可能选择性地克制癫痫样突发放电超同步性和癫痫发生发火的传播.左乙拉西坦在浓度高达10μM时,对多种已知受体无亲和力,如苯并二氮卓类.GABA.甘氨酸.NMDA.再摄取位点和第二信使体系.别的,体外实验显示左乙拉西坦对神经源电压门控的钠离子通道或T-型钙电流无影响,左乙拉西坦其实不直接易化GABA能神经传递,但体外研讨显示左乙拉西坦对造就的神经元GABA和甘氨酸门控电流负调控活性有反抗感化,并部分克制神经元N-型钙电流.在大鼠脑组织中发明左乙拉西坦可饱和和立体选择性的神经元结合位点,实验数据标明该结合位点为突触小泡蛋白SV2A,SV2A介入小泡胞吞感化的调控.固然左乙拉西坦结合到突触小泡蛋白SV2A 的分子意义尚不清晰,但左乙拉西坦及其相干类似物对SV2A的亲和力有强弱之分,在听觉性发生发火小鼠中,与其施展抗发生发火效能的才能有相干性,标明左乙拉西坦的抗癫痫感化机制可能与SV2A蛋白的互相感化有关.1312.2 药效动力学对QTc间期的影响在52例健康自愿者进行的一项随机.双盲阳性对比(莫西沙星400mg)和安慰剂对比交叉研讨(1000mg或5000mg)中评估了KEPPRA对QTc延伸的影响.经最大的安慰剂调剂以及基线校订的QTc,90%CI上限低于10ms,是以,没有证据标明本品明显延伸QTc.12.3 药代动力学剂量相当的左乙拉西坦打针液(静滴15min)和口服左乙拉西坦,Cmax.Cmin和全身吐露量相当.左乙拉西坦的药动学研讨包含健康成年个别.成人和儿童癫痫患者.老年患者及肾功效和肝功效伤害患者.概述口服左乙拉西坦后快速几乎完整接收,左乙拉西坦打针液和片剂生物等效.左乙拉西坦呈线性代谢和非时变性,个别内和个别间差别小.左乙拉西坦与血浆蛋白结合率低(<10%),散布容积接近于体液.66%的药物以原型经肾脏渗出,重要代谢门路是经由过程水解酶的乙酰胺化(给药剂量的24%),不经肝脏细胞色素P450代谢.代谢物无药理活性,也是经肾脏渗出.血浆半衰期约为6~8h.在老年(重要与肾脏清除率伤害有关)和肾功效伤害患者中延伸.散布在17例健康自愿者中进行左乙拉西坦打针液和口服的生物等效性研讨,左乙拉西坦1500mg稀释至100mL0.9%灭菌溶液中,滴注时光>15min,滴注速度为滴注停滞时血浆浓度与口服雷同剂量的达峰时光(Tmax)类似,成果显示左乙拉西坦1500mg静脉滴注相当于3 x 500mg口服片剂.左乙拉西坦1500mg静滴,中断4天,BID,药代动力学与时光无关.稳态时,AUC(0-12)相当于单次剂量的AUCinf.左乙拉西坦及其重要代谢物与血浆蛋白结合率低(<10%),与蛋白结合位点竞争性药物不大可能产生具有临床意义的互相感化.代谢人体内左乙拉西坦不完整代谢,重要代谢门路经由过程水解酶的乙酰胺化而不经肝酶P450,生成羧酸代谢物,ucb L057(给药剂量的24%),重要代谢物在动物癫痫发生发火模子中无活性.2种较少的代谢产品经判定是羟化的2-氧代-吡咯烷环(给药剂量的2%)和5位开环的2-氧代-吡咯烷(给药剂量的1%).左乙拉西坦或其重要代谢物均无手性翻转. 清除14成人体中左乙拉西坦血浆半衰期为7±1h,其实不因给药剂量不合,给药门路或反复给药而转变.给药剂量的66%经肾脏以原型渗出,。

The daily dosage may be adjusted in increments of 1000 mg every 2 weeks to a maximum recommended daily dose of 3000 mg.2.1 Adult Patients With Impaired Renal FunctionKEPPRA XR dosing must be individualized according to the patient's renal function status. Recommended doses and adjustment for dose for adults are shown in Table 1. To use this dosing table, an estimate of the patient's creatinine clearance (CLcr) in mL/min is needed. CLcr in mL/min may be estimated from serum creatinine (mg/dL) determination using the following formula:[140-age (years)] x weight (kg)CLcr = ---------------------------------------------- x 1 0.8572 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)1.

Patients treated with any AED for any indication should be monitored for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behavior.Pooled analyses of 199 placebo-controlled clinical trials (mono- and adjunctive therapy) of 11 different AEDs showed that patients randomized to one of the AEDs had approximately twice the risk (adjusted Relative Risk 1.8, 95% CI:1.2, 2.7) of suicidal thinking or behavior compared to patients randomized to placebo. In these trials, which had a median treatment duration of 12 weeks, the estimated incidence rate of suicidal behavior or ideation among 27,863 AED-treated patients was 0.43%, compared to 0.24% among 16,029 placebo-treated patients, representing an increase of approximately one case of suicidal thinking or behavior for every 530 patients treated. There were four suicides in drug-treated patients in the trials and none in placebo-treated patients, but the number is too small to allow any conclusion about drug effect on suicide.The increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior with AEDs was observed as early as one week after starting drug treatment with AEDs and persisted for the duration of treatment assessed. Because most trials included in the analysis did not extend beyond 24 weeks, the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior beyond 24 weeks could not be assessed.The risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior was generally consistent among drugs in the data analyzed. The finding of increased risk with AEDs of varying mechanisms of action and across a range of indications suggests that the risk applies to all AEDs used for any indication. The risk did not vary substantially by age (5-100 years) in the clinical trials analyzed. Table 2 shows absolute and relative risk by indication for all evaluated AEDs.Table 2 Risk by indication for antiepileptic drugs in the pooled analysisIndication Placebo Patients withEvents Per 1000 PatientsDrug Patients withEvents Per 1000 PatientsRelative Risk: Incidenceof Events in DrugPatients/Incidence inPlacebo PatientsRisk DifferenceAdditional DrugPatients with Events Per1000 Patients Epilepsy 1.0 3.4 3.5 2.4Psychiatric 5.7 8.5 1.5 2.9Other 1.0 1.8 1.9 0.9Total 2.4 4.3 1.8 1.9The relative risk for suicidal thoughts or behavior was higher in clinical trials for epilepsy than in clinical trials for psychiatric or other conditions, but the absolute risk differences were similar for the epilepsy and psychiatric indications.Anyone considering prescribing KEPPRA XR or any other AED must balance the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior with the risk of untreated illness. Epilepsy and many other illnesses for which AEDs are prescribed are themselves associated with morbidity and mortality and an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Should suicidal thoughts and behavior emerge during treatment, the prescriber needs to consider whether the emergence of these symptoms in any given patient may be related to the illness being treated. Patients, their caregivers, and families should be informed that AEDs increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior and should be advised of the need to be alert for the emergence or worsening of the signs and symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts, behavior, or thoughts about self-harm. Behaviors of concern should be reported immediately to healthcare providers.5.2 Neuropsychiatric Adverse ReactionsKEPPRA XR TabletsIn some patients experiencing partial onset seizures, KEPPRA XR causes somnolence, dizziness, and behavioral abnormalities.In the KEPPRA XR double-blind, controlled trial in patients experiencing partial onset seizures, 7.8% of KEPPRA XR-treated patients experienced somnolence compared to 2.5% of placebo-treated patients. Dizziness was reported in 5.2% of KEPPRA XR-treated patients compared to 2.5% of placebo-treated patients.A total of 6.5% of KEPPRA XR-treated patients experienced non-psychotic behavioral disorders (reported as irritability and aggression) compared to 0% of placebo-treated patients. Irritability was reported in 6.5% of KEPPRA XR-treated patients. Aggression was reported in 1.3% of KEPPRA XR-treated patients.No patient discontinued treatment or had a dose reduction as a result of these adverse reactions.The number of patients exposed to KEPPRA XR was considerably smaller than the number of patients exposed to immediate-release KEPPRA tablets in controlled trials. Therefore, certain adverse reactions observed in the immediate-release KEPPRA controlled trials may also occur in patients receiving KEPPRA XR.Immediate-Release KEPPRA TabletsIn controlled trials of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets in patients experiencing partial onset seizures, immediate-release KEPPRA causes the occurrence of central nervous system adverse reactions that can be classified into the following categories: 1) somnolence and fatigue, 2) coordination difficulties, and 3) behavioral abnormalities.In controlled trials of adult patients with epilepsy experiencing partial onset seizures, 14.8% of immediate-release KEPPRA-treated patients reported somnolence, compared to 8.4% of placebo patients. There was no clear dose response up to 3000 mg/day.In controlled trials of adult patients with epilepsy experiencing partial onset seizures, 14.7% of treated patients reported asthenia, compared to 9.1% of placebo patients.A total of 3.4% of immediate-release KEPPRA-treated patients experienced coordination difficulties, (reported as either ataxia, abnormal gait, or incoordination) compared to 1.6% of placebo patients.Somnolence, asthenia and coordination difficulties occurred most frequently within the first 4 weeks of treatment.In controlled trials of patients with epilepsy experiencing partial onset seizures, 5 (0.7%) immediate-release KEPPRA-treated patients experienced psychotic symptoms compared to 1 (0.2%) placebo patient.A total of 13.3% of immediate-release KEPPRA patients experienced other behavioral symptoms (reported as aggression, agitation, anger, anxiety, apathy, depersonalization, depression, emotional lability, hostility, irritability, etc.) compared to 6.2% of placebo patients.5.3 Withdrawal SeizuresAntiepileptic drugs, including KEPPRA XR, should be withdrawn gradually to minimize the potential of increased seizure frequency.5.4 Hematologic AbnormalitiesAlthough there were no obvious hematologic abnormalities observed in treated patients in the KEPPRA XR controlled study, the limited number of patients makes any conclusion tentative. The data from the partial seizure patients in the immediate-release KEPPRA controlled studies should be considered to be relevant for KEPPRA XR-treated patients.In controlled trials of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets in patients experiencing partial onset seizures, minor, but statistically significant, decreases compared to placebo in total mean RBC count (0.03 x 106/mm3), mean hemoglobin (0.09 g/dL), and mean hematocrit (0.38%), were seen in immediate-release KEPPRA-treated patients. A total of 3.2% of treated and 1.8% of placebo patients had at least one possibly significant (≤2.8 x 109/L) decreased WBC, and 2.4% of treated and 1.4% of placebo patients had at least one possibly significant (≤1.0 x 109/L) decreased neutrophil count. Of the treated patients with a low neutrophil count, all but one rose towards or to baseline with continued treatment. No patient was discontinued secondary to low neutrophil counts.5.5 Hepatic AbnormalitiesThere were no meaningful changes in mean liver function tests (LFT) in the KEPPRA XR controlled trial. No patients were discontinued from the controlled trial for LFT abnormalities.There were no meaningful changes in mean liver function tests (LFT) in controlled trials of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets in adult patients; lesser LFT abnormalities were similar in drug and placebo-treated patients in controlled trials (1.4%). No patients were discontinued from controlled trials for LFT abnormalities except for 1 (0.07%) adult epilepsy patient receiving open treatment.5.6 Laboratory TestsAlthough effects on laboratory tests were not clinically significant with KEPPRA XR treatment, it is expected that the data from immediate-release KEPPRA tablets controlled studies would be considered relevant for KEPPRA XR-treated patients.Although most laboratory tests are not systematically altered with immediate-release KEPPRA treatment, there have been relatively infrequent abnormalities seen in hematologic parameters and liver function tests.6 ADVERSE REACTIONS6.1 Clinical Studies ExperienceBecause 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.The prescriber should be aware that the adverse reaction incidence figures in the following table, obtained when KEPPRA XR was added to concurrent AED therapy, cannot be used to predict the frequency of adverse experiences in the course of usual medical practice where patient characteristics and other factors may differ from those prevailing during clinical studies. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be directly compared with figures obtained from other clinical investigations involving different treatments, uses, or investigators. An inspection of these frequencies, however, does provide the prescriber with one basis to estimate the relative contribution of drug and non-drug factors to the adverse reaction incidences in the population studied.KEPPRA XR TabletsIn the well-controlled clinical study using KEPPRA XR in patients with partial onset seizures, the most frequently reported adverse reactions in patients receiving KEPPRA XR in combination with other AEDs, not seen at an equivalent frequency among placebo-treated patients, were irritability and somnolence.Table 3 lists treatment-emergent adverse reactions that occurred in at least 5% of epilepsy patients treated with KEPPRA XR participating in the placebo-controlled study and were numerically more common than in patients treated with placebo. In this study, either KEPPRA XR or placebo was added to concurrent AED therapy. Adverse reactions were usually mild to moderate in intensity. Table 3: Incidence (%) Of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Reactions In The Placebo-Controlled, Add-On Study By Body System (Adverse Reactions Occurred In At Least 5% Of KEPPRA XR-Treated Patients And Occurred More Frequently Than Placebo-Treated Patients)Body System/ Adverse Reaction KEPPRA XR(N=77)%Placebo(N=79)%Gastrointestinal DisordersNausea 5 3Infections and InfestationsInfluenza 8 4Nasopharyngitis 7 5Nervous System DisordersSomnolence 8 3Dizziness 5 3Psychiatric DisordersIrritability 7 0 Discontinuation Or Dose Reduction In The KEPPRA XR Well-Controlled Clinical StudyIn the well-controlled clinical study using KEPPRA XR, 5.2% of patients receiving KEPPRA XR and 2.5% receiving placebo discontinued as a result of an adverse event. The adverse reactions that resulted in discontinuation and that occurred more frequently in KEPPRA XR-treated patients than in placebo-treated patients were asthenia, epilepsy, mouth ulceration, rash and respiratory failure. Each of these adverse reactions led to discontinuation in a KEPPRA XR-treated patient and no placebo-treated patients. Comparison Of Gender, Age And RaceThere are insufficient data for KEPPRA XR to support a statement regarding the distribution of adverse experience reports by gender, age and race.Table 4 lists the adverse reactions seen in the well-controlled studies of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets in adult patients experiencing partial onset seizures. Although the pattern of adverse reactions in the KEPPRA XR study seems somewhat different from that seen in partial onset seizure well-controlled studies for immediate-release KEPPRA tablets, this is possibly due to the much smaller number of patients in this study compared to the immediate-release tablet studies. The adverse reactions for KEPPRA XR are expected to be similar to those seen with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets.Immediate-Release KEPPRA TabletsIn well-controlled clinical studies of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets as adjunctive therapy to other AEDs in adults with partial onset seizures, the most frequently reported adverse reactions, not seen at an equivalent frequency among placebo-treated patients, were somnolence, asthenia, infection and dizziness.Table 4 lists treatment-emergent adverse reactions that occurred in at least 1% of adult epilepsy patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets participating in placebo-controlled studies and were numerically more common than in patients treatedwith placebo. In these studies, either immediate-release KEPPRA tablets or placebo was added to concurrent AED therapy. Adverse reactions were usually mild to moderate in intensity.Table 4: Incidence (%) Of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Reactions In Placebo-Controlled, Add-On Studies In Adults Experiencing Partial Onset Seizures By Body System (Adverse Reactions Occurred In At Least 1% Of Immediate-Release KEPPRA-Treated Patients And Occurred More Frequently Than Placebo-Treated Patients)Body System/ Adverse Reaction Immediate-release KEPPRA(N=769)%Placebo(N=439)%Body as a WholeAsthenia 15 9Headache 14 13Infection 13 8Pain 7 6Digestive SystemAnorexia 3 2Nervous SystemSomnolence 15 8Dizziness 9 4Depression 4 2Nervousness 4 2Ataxia 3 1Vertigo 3 1Amnesia 2 1Anxiety 2 1Hostility 2 1Paresthesia 2 1Emotional Lability 2 0Respiratory SystemPharyngitis 6 4Rhinitis 4 3Cough Increased 2 1Sinusitis 2 1Special SensesDiplopia 2 1In addition, the following adverse reactions were seen in other well-controlled studies of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets: balance disorder, disturbance in attention, eczema, hyperkinesia, memory impairment, myalgia, personality disorders, pruritus, and vision blurred.6.2 Postmarketing ExperienceIn addition to the adverse reactions listed above for immediate-release KEPPRA tablets [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], the following adverse events have been identified during postapproval use of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets. Because these events 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. The listing is alphabetized: abnormal liver function test, hepatic failure, hepatitis, leukopenia, neutropenia, pancreatitis, pancytopenia (with bone marrow suppression identified in some of these cases), thrombocytopenia and weight loss. Alopecia has been reported with immediate-release KEPPRA use; recovery was observed in majority of cases where immediate-release KEPPRA was discontinued.7 DRUG INTERACTIONS7.1 General InformationIn vitro data on metabolic interactions indicate that KEPPRA XR is unlikely to produce, or be subject to, pharmacokinetic interactions. Levetiracetam and its major metabolite, at concentrations well above C max levels achieved within the therapeutic dose range, are neither inhibitors of nor high affinity substrates for human liver cytochrome P450 isoforms, epoxide hydrolase or UDP-glucuronidation enzymes. In addition, levetiracetam does not affect the in vitro glucuronidation of valproic acid.Levetiracetam circulates largely unbound (<10% bound) to plasma proteins; clinically significant interactions with other drugs through competition for protein binding sites are therefore unlikely.Potential pharmacokinetic interactions were assessed in clinical pharmacokinetic studies (phenytoin, valproate, oral contraceptive, digoxin, warfarin, probenecid) and through pharmacokinetic screening with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets in the placebo-controlled clinical studies in epilepsy patients. The following are the results of these studies. The potential for drug interactions for KEPPRA XR is expected to be essentially the same as that with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets.7.2 PhenytoinImmediate-release KEPPRA tablets (3000 mg daily) had no effect on the pharmacokinetic disposition of phenytoin in patients with refractory epilepsy. Pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam were also not affected by phenytoin.7.3 ValproateImmediate-release KEPPRA tablets (1500 mg twice daily) did not alter the pharmacokinetics of valproate in healthy volunteers. Valproate 500 mg twice daily did not modify the rate or extent of levetiracetam absorption or its plasma clearance or urinary excretion. There also was no effect on exposure to and the excretion of the primary metabolite, ucb L057.7.4 Other Antiepileptic DrugsPotential drug interactions between immediate-release KEPPRA tablets and other AEDs (carbamazepine, gabapentin, lamotrigine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone and valproate) were also assessed by evaluating the serum concentrations of levetiracetamand these AEDs during placebo-controlled clinical studies. These data indicate that levetiracetam does not influence the plasma concentration of other AEDs and that these AEDs do not influence the pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam.7.5 Oral ContraceptivesImmediate-release KEPPRA tablets (500 mg twice daily) did not influence the pharmacokinetics of an oral contraceptive containing 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg levonorgestrel, or of the luteinizing hormone and progesterone levels, indicating that impairment of contraceptive efficacy is unlikely. Coadministration of this oral contraceptive did not influence the pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam.7.6 DigoxinImmediate-release KEPPRA tablets (1000 mg twice daily) did not influence the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (ECG) of digoxin given as a 0.25 mg dose every day. Coadministration of digoxin did not influence the pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam.7.7 WarfarinImmediate-release KEPPRA tablets (1000 mg twice daily) did not influence the pharmacokinetics of R and S warfarin. Prothrombin time was not affected by levetiracetam. Coadministration of warfarin did not affect the pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam.7.8 ProbenecidProbenecid, a renal tubular secretion blocking agent, administered at a dose of 500 mg four times a day, did not change the pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam 1000 mg twice daily. C ss max of the metabolite, ucb L057, was approximately doubled in the presence of probenecid while the fraction of drug excreted unchanged in the urine remained the same. Renal clearance of ucb L057 in the presence of probenecid decreased 60%, probably related to competitive inhibition of tubular secretion of ucb L057. The effect of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets on probenecid was not studied.8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS8.1 PregnancyPregnancy Category CThere are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. In animal studies, levetiracetam produced evidence of developmental toxicity, including teratogenic effects, at doses similar to or greater than human therapeutic doses. KEPPRA XR should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. As with other antiepileptic drugs, physiological changes during pregnancy may affect levetiracetam concentration. There have been reports of decreased levetiracetam concentration during pregnancy. Discontinuation of antiepileptic treatments may result in disease worsening, which can be harmful to the mother and the fetus.Oral administration of levetiracetam to female rats throughout pregnancy and lactation led to increased incidences of minor fetal skeletal abnormalities and retarded offspring growth pre- and/or postnatally at doses ≥350 mg/kg/day (approximately equivalent to the maximum recommended human dose of 3000 mg [MRHD] on a mg/m2 basis) and with increased pup mortality and offspring behavioral alterations at a dose of 1800 mg/kg/day (6 times the MRHD on a mg/m2 basis). The developmental no effect dose was 70 mg/kg/day (0.2 times the MRHD on a mg/m2 basis). There was no overt maternal toxicity at the doses used in this study.Oral administration of levetiracetam to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in increased embryofetal mortality and increased incidences of minor fetal skeletal abnormalities at doses ≥600 mg/kg/day (approximately 4 times MRHD on a mg/m2 basis) and in decreased fetal weights and increased incidences of fetal malformations at a dose of 1800 mg/kg/day (12 times the MRHD on a mg/m2 basis). The developmental no effect dose was 200 mg/kg/day (1.3 times the MRHD on a mg/m2 basis). Maternal toxicity was also observed at 1800 mg/kg/day.When levetiracetam was administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis, fetal weights were decreased and the incidence of fetal skeletal variations was increased at a dose of 3600 mg/kg/day (12 times the MRHD). 1200 mg/kg/day (4 times the MRHD) was a developmental no effect dose. There was no evidence of maternal toxicity in this study.Treatment of rats with levetiracetam during the last third of gestation and throughout lactation produced no adverse developmental or maternal effects at oral doses of up to 1800 mg/kg/day (6 times the MRHD on a mg/m2 basis).Pregnancy RegistriesTo provide information regarding the effects of in utero exposure to KEPPRA XR, physicians are advised to recommend that pregnant patients taking KEPPRA XR enroll in the North American Antiepileptic Drug (NAAED) pregnancy registry. This can be done by calling the toll free number 1-888-233-2334, and must be done by the patients themselves. Information on the registry can also be found at the website /.UCB, Inc. has established the UCB AED Pregnancy Registry to advance scientific knowledge about safety and outcomes in pregnant women being treated with all UCB antiepileptic drugs including KEPPRA XR. To ensure broad program access and reach, either a healthcare provider or the patient can initiate enrollment in the UCB AED Pregnancy Registry by calling (888) 537-7734 (toll free). 8.2 Labor And DeliveryThe effect of KEPPRA XR on labor and delivery in humans is unknown.8.3 Nursing MothersLevetiracetam is excreted in breast milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from KEPPRA XR, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.8.4 Pediatric UseSafety and effectiveness of KEPPRA XR in patients below the age of 16 years have not been established.8.5 Geriatric UseThere were insufficient numbers of elderly subjects in controlled trials of epilepsy to adequately assess the effectiveness of KEPPRA XR in these patients. It is expected that the safety of KEPPRA XR in elderly patients 65 and over would be comparable to the safety observed in clinical studies of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets.Of the total number of subjects in clinical studies of immediate-release levetiracetam, 347 were 65 and over. No overall differences in safety were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. There were insufficient numbers of elderly subjects in controlled trials of epilepsy to adequately assess the effectiveness of immediate-release KEPPRA in these patients.A study in 16 elderly subjects (age 61-88 years) with oral administration of single dose and multiple twice-daily doses of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets for 10 days showed no pharmacokinetic differences related to age alone.Levetiracetam is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.8.6 Use In Patients With Impaired Renal FunctionThe effect of KEPPRA XR on renally impaired patients was not assessed in the well-controlled study. However, it is expectedthat the effect on KEPPRA XR-treated patients would be similar to the effect seen in well-controlled studies of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets. Caution should be taken in dosing patients with moderate and severe renal impairment and in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The dosage should be reduced in patients with impaired renal function receiving KEPPRA XR [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Dosage and Administration (2.1)].Clearance of immediate-release levetiracetam is decreased in patients with renal impairment and is correlated with creatinine clearance.9 DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCEThe abuse and dependence potential of KEPPRA XR has not been evaluated in human studies.。

Zemplar™(paricalcitol injection)Fliptop VialDESCRIPTIONZemplar™ (paricalcitol injection) is a synthetically manufactured vitamin D analog. It is available as a sterile, clear, colorless, aqueous solution for intravenous injection. Each mL contains paricalcitol, 5 mcg; propylene glycol, 30% (v/v); and alcohol, 20% (v/v).Paricalcitol is a white powder chemically designated as19-nor-1a,3ß,25-trihydroxy-9,10-secoergosta-5(Z),7(E),22(E)-triene and has the following structural formula:Molecular weight is 416.65.CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGYMechanism of ActionParicalcitol is a synthetic vitamin D analog. Vitamin D and paricalcitol have been shown to reduce parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.PharmacokineticsDistributionThe pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol have been studied in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) requiring hemodialysis.Zemplar™ is administered as an intravenous bolus injection. Within two hours after administering doses ranging from 0.04 to 0.24 mcg/kg, concentrations of paricalcitol decreased rapidly; thereafter, concentrations of paricalcitol declined log-linearly with a mean half-life of about 15 hours. No accumulation of paricalcitol was observed with multiple dosing.EliminationIn healthy subjects, plasma radioactivity after a single 0.16 mcg/kg intravenous bolus dose of3H-paricalcitol (n=4) was attributed to parent drug. Paricalcitol was eliminated primarily by hepatobiliary excretion, as 74% of the radioactive dose was recovered in feces and only 16%was found in urine.MetabolismSeveral unknown metabolites were detected in both the urine and feces, with no detectable paricalcitol in the urine. These metabolites have not been characterized and have not been identified. Together, these metabolites contributed 51% of the urinary radioactivity and 59%of the fecal radioactivity.In vitro plasma protein binding of paricalcitol was extensive (>99.9%) and nonsaturable over the concentration range of 1 to 100 ng/mL.Paricalcitol Pharmacokinetic Characteristics in CRF Patients (0.24 mcg/kg dose) Parameter n Values (Mean ± SD) .C max (5 min. after bolus)6 1850 ± 664 (pg/mL)AUC0- 527382 ± 8230 (pg•hr/mL)CL5 0.72 ± 0.24 (L/hr)V ss5 6 ± 2 (L)Laboratory TestsIn placebo-controlled studies, paricalcitol reduced serum total alkaline phosphatase levels. Special PopulationsParicalcitol pharmacokinetics have not been investigated in special populations (geriatric, pediatric, hepatic insufficiency), or for drug-drug interactions. Pharmacokinetics were not gender-dependent.Clinical StudiesIn three 12-week, placebo-controlled, phase 3 studies in chronic renal failure patients on dialysis, the dose of Zemplar™ was started at 0.04 mcg/kg 3 times per week. The dose was increased by 0.04 mcg/kg every 2 weeks until intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels were decreased at least 30% from baseline or a fifth escalation brought the dose to 0.24 mcg/kg, or iPTH fell to less than 100 pg/mL, or the Ca x P product was greater than 75 within any 2 week period, or serum calcium became greater than 11.5 mg/dL at any time.Patients treated with Zemplar™ achieved a mean iPTH reduction of 30% within 6 weeks. In these studies, there was no significant difference in the incidence of hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia between Zemplar™ and placebo-treated patients. The results from these studies are as follows:Mean (SE) Change Group Baseline Mean From Baseline to (No. of Pts.)

Phosphorus Product placebo (n=38) 54 (26 – 77) -3.9 (2.3) .A long-term, open-label safety study of 164 CRF patients (mean dose of 7.5 mcg three times per week), demonstrated that mean serum Ca, P, and Ca x P remained within clinically appropriate ranges with PTH reduction (mean decrease of 323 pg/mL at 13 months).INDICATIONS AND USAGEZemplar™ is indicated for the prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic renal failure. Studies in patients with chronic renal failure show that Zemplar™ suppresses PTH levels with no significant difference in the incidence of hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia when compared to placebo. However, the serum phosphorus, calcium and calcium x phosphorus product (Ca x P) may increase when Zemplar™ is administered.CONTRAINDICATIONSZemplar™ should not be given to patients with evidence of vitamin D toxicity, hypercalcemia, or hypersensitivity to any ingredient in this product (see PRECAUTIONS, General).WARNINGSAcute overdose of Zemplar™ may cause hypercalcemia, and require emergency attention. During dose adjustment, serum calcium and phosphorus levels should be monitored closely (e.g., twice weekly). If clinically significant hypercalcemia develops, the dose should be reduced or interrupted. Chronic administration of Zemplar™ may place patients at risk ofhypercalcemia, elevated Ca x P product, and metastatic calcification. Signs and symptoms of vitamin D intoxication associated with hypercalcemia include:EarlyWeakness, headache, somnolence, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, constipation, muscle pain, bone pain, and metallic taste.LateAnorexia, weight loss, conjunctivitis (calcific),pancreatitis, photophobia, rhinorrhea, pruritus,hyperthermia, decreased libido, elevated BUN, hypercholesterolemia, elevated AST and ALT, ectopic calcification, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, somnolence, death, and, rarely, overt psychosis.Treatment of patients with clinically significant hypercalcemia consists of immediate dose reduction or interruption of Zemplar™ therapy and includes a low calcium diet, withdrawal of calcium supplements, patient mobilization, attention to fluid and electrolyte imbalances, assessment of electrocardiographic abnormalities (critical in patients receiving digitalis), and hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis against a calcium-free dialysate, as warranted. Serum calcium levels should be monitored frequently until normocalcemia ensues.Phosphate or vitamin D-related compounds should not be taken concomitantly with Zemplar™.PRECAUTIONSGeneral: Digitalis toxicity is potentiated by hypercalcemia of any cause, so caution should be applied when digitalis compounds are prescribed concomitantly with Zemplar™. Adynamic bone lesions may develop if PTH levels are suppressed to abnormal levels. Information for the Patient: The patient should be instructed that, to ensure effectiveness of Zemplar™ therapy, it is important to adhere to a dietary regimen of calcium supplementation and phosphorus restriction. Appropriate types of phosphate-binding compounds may be needed to control serum phosphorus levels in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), but excessive use of aluminum containing compounds should be avoided. Patients should also be carefully informed about the symptoms of elevated calcium.Essential Laboratory Tests:During the initial phase of medication, serum calcium and phosphorus should be determined frequently (e.g., twice weekly). Once dosage has been established, serum calcium and phosphorus should be measured at least monthly. Measurements of serum or plasma PTH are recommended every 3 months. An intact PTH (iPTH) assay is recommended for reliable detection of biologically active PTH in patients with CRF. During dose adjustment of Zemplar™, laboratory tests may be required more frequently.Drug Interactions:Specific interaction studies were not performed. Digitalis toxicity is potentiated by hypercalcemia of any cause, so caution should be applied when digitalis compounds are prescribed concomitantly with Zemplar™.Carcinogenesis,Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility:Long-term studies in animals to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of paricalcitol have not been completed. Paricalcitol did not exhibit genetic toxicity in vitro with or without metabolic activation in the microbial mutagenesis assay (Ames Assay), mouse lymphoma mutagenesis assay (L5178Y), or a human lymphocyte cell chromosomal aberration assay. There was also no evidence of genetic toxicity in an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. Zemplar™ had no effect on fertility (male or female) in rats at intravenous doses up to 20 mcg/kg/dose [equivalent to 13 times the highest recommended human dose (0.24 mcg/kg) based on surface area, mg/m2]. Pregnancy:Pregnancy Category C.Paricalcitol has been shown to cause minimal decreases in fetal viability (5%) when administered daily to rabbits at a dose 0.5 times the0.24mcg/kg human dose (based on surface area, mg/m2) and when administered to rats ata dose 2 times the 0.24 mcg/kg human dose (based on plasma levels of exposure). At the highest dose tested (20 mcg/kg 3 times per week in rats,13 times the 0.24 mcg/kg human dose based on surface area), there was a significant increase of the mortality of newborn rats at doses that were maternally toxic (hypercalcemia). No other effects on offspring development were observed. Paricalcitol was not teratogenic at the doses tested.There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Zemplar™ should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Nursing Mothers: It is not known whether paricalcitol is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Zemplar™ is administered to a nursing woman.Pediatric Use:Safety and efficacy of Zemplar™ in pediatric patients have not been established.Geriatric Use:Of the 40 patients receiving Zemplar™ in the three phase 3 placebo-controlled CRF studies, 10 patients were 65 years or over. In these studies, no overall differences in efficacy or safety were observed between patients 65 years or older and younger patients.ADVERSE REACTIONSZemplar™ has been evaluated for safety in clinical studies in 454 CRF patients.In four, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter studies, discontinuation of therapy due to any adverse event occurred in 6.5% of 62 patients treated with Zemplar™ (dosage titrated as tolerated, see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies) and 2.0% of 51 patients treated with placebo for one to three months. Adverse events occurring with greater frequency in the Zemplar™ group at a frequency of 2% or greater, regardless of causality, are presented in the following table:Adverse Event Incidence Rates for All Treated PatientsIn All Placebo-Controlled StudiesZemplar™ (n=62)Placebo (n=51)Adverse Event number of events, %number of events, % Overall7178 .Body as a WholeChills5 0Feeling unwell3 0Fever5 2Flu5 4Sepsis5 2Cardiovascular SystemPalpitation3 0Digestive SystemDry mouth3 2Gastrointestinal bleeding5 2Nausea 13 8Vomiting8 4Metabolic and Nutritional DisordersEdema7 0Nervous SystemLight-headedness5 2Respiratory SystemPneumonia5 0A patient who reported the same medical term more than once was counted only once for that medical term.Safety parameters (changes in mean Ca, P, Ca x P) in an open-label safety study up to 13 months in duration support the long-term safety of Zemplar™in this patient population.OVERDOSAGEOverdosage of Zemplar™ may lead to hypercalcemia (see WARNINGS).DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONThe currently accepted target range for iPTH levels in CRF patients is no more than 1.5 to 3 times the non-uremic upper limit of normal.The recommended initial dose of Zemplar™ is 0.04 mcg/kg to0.1mcg/kg(2.8 – 7 mcg) administered as a bolus dose no more frequently than every other day at any time during dialysis. Doses as high as 0.24 mcg/kg (16.8 mcg) have been safely administered.If a satisfactory response is not observed, the dose may be increased by 2 to 4 mcg at 2-to 4-week intervals. During any dose adjustment period, serum calcium and phosphorus levels should be monitored more frequently, and if an elevated calcium level or a Ca x P product greater than 75 is noted, the drug dosage should be immediately reduced or interrupted until these parameters are normalized. Then, Zemplar™ should be reinitiated at a lower dose. Doses may need to be decreased as the PTH levels decrease in response to therapy. Thus, incremental dosing must be individualized.The following table is a suggested approach in dose titration:Suggested Dosing GuidelinesPTH Level Zemplar™ Dosethe same or increasing increasedecreasing by <30% increasedecreasing by >30%, <60% maintaindecreasing by >60% decreaseone and one-half to threetimes upper limit of normal maintainParenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit.Discard unused portion.HOW SUPPLIEDZemplar™ (paricalcitol injection) 5 mcg/mL is supplied as1 and2 mL single-dose Fliptop Vials.List No. Volume/Container Concentration Total Content1658 1 mL/Fliptop Vial 5 mcg/mL 5 mcg1658 2 mL/Fliptop Vial 5 mcg/mL 10 mcgStore at 25°C (77°F).

左乙拉西坦注射液FDA说明书

Zemplar™(paricalcitol injection)Fliptop VialDESCRIPTIONZemplar™ (paricalcitol injection) is a synthetically manufactured vitamin D analog. It is available as a sterile, clear, colorless, aqueous solution for intravenous injection. Each mL contains paricalcitol, 5 mcg; propylene glycol, 30% (v/v); and alcohol, 20% (v/v).Paricalcitol is a white powder chemically designated as19-nor-1a,3ß,25-trihydroxy-9,10-secoergosta-5(Z),7(E),22(E)-triene and has the following structural formula:Molecular weight is 416.65.CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGYMechanism of ActionParicalcitol is a synthetic vitamin D analog. Vitamin D and paricalcitol have been shown to reduce parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.PharmacokineticsDistributionThe pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol have been studied in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) requiring hemodialysis.Zemplar™ is administered as an intravenous bolus injection. Within two hours after administering doses ranging from 0.04 to 0.24 mcg/kg, concentrations of paricalcitol decreased rapidly; thereafter, concentrations of paricalcitol declined log-linearly with a mean half-life of about 15 hours. No accumulation of paricalcitol was observed with multiple dosing.EliminationIn healthy subjects, plasma radioactivity after a single 0.16 mcg/kg intravenous bolus dose of3H-paricalcitol (n=4) was attributed to parent drug. Paricalcitol was eliminated primarily by hepatobiliary excretion, as 74% of the radioactive dose was recovered in feces and only 16%was found in urine.MetabolismSeveral unknown metabolites were detected in both the urine and feces, with no detectable paricalcitol in the urine. These metabolites have not been characterized and have not been identified. Together, these metabolites contributed 51% of the urinary radioactivity and 59%of the fecal radioactivity.In vitro plasma protein binding of paricalcitol was extensive (>99.9%) and nonsaturable over the concentration range of 1 to 100 ng/mL.Paricalcitol Pharmacokinetic Characteristics in CRF Patients (0.24 mcg/kg dose) Parameter n Values (Mean ± SD) .C max (5 min. after bolus)6 1850 ± 664 (pg/mL)AUC0- 527382 ± 8230 (pg•hr/mL)CL5 0.72 ± 0.24 (L/hr)V ss5 6 ± 2 (L)Laboratory TestsIn placebo-controlled studies, paricalcitol reduced serum total alkaline phosphatase levels. Special PopulationsParicalcitol pharmacokinetics have not been investigated in special populations (geriatric, pediatric, hepatic insufficiency), or for drug-drug interactions. Pharmacokinetics were not gender-dependent.Clinical StudiesIn three 12-week, placebo-controlled, phase 3 studies in chronic renal failure patients on dialysis, the dose of Zemplar™ was started at 0.04 mcg/kg 3 times per week. The dose was increased by 0.04 mcg/kg every 2 weeks until intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels were decreased at least 30% from baseline or a fifth escalation brought the dose to 0.24 mcg/kg, or iPTH fell to less than 100 pg/mL, or the Ca x P product was greater than 75 within any 2 week period, or serum calcium became greater than 11.5 mg/dL at any time.Patients treated with Zemplar™ achieved a mean iPTH reduction of 30% within 6 weeks. In these studies, there was no significant difference in the incidence of hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia between Zemplar™ and placebo-treated patients. The results from these studies are as follows:Mean (SE) Change Group Baseline Mean From Baseline to (No. of Pts.)

Phosphorus Product placebo (n=38) 54 (26 – 77) -3.9 (2.3) .A long-term, open-label safety study of 164 CRF patients (mean dose of 7.5 mcg three times per week), demonstrated that mean serum Ca, P, and Ca x P remained within clinically appropriate ranges with PTH reduction (mean decrease of 323 pg/mL at 13 months).INDICATIONS AND USAGEZemplar™ is indicated for the prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic renal failure. Studies in patients with chronic renal failure show that Zemplar™ suppresses PTH levels with no significant difference in the incidence of hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia when compared to placebo. However, the serum phosphorus, calcium and calcium x phosphorus product (Ca x P) may increase when Zemplar™ is administered.CONTRAINDICATIONSZemplar™ should not be given to patients with evidence of vitamin D toxicity, hypercalcemia, or hypersensitivity to any ingredient in this product (see PRECAUTIONS, General).WARNINGSAcute overdose of Zemplar™ may cause hypercalcemia, and require emergency attention. During dose adjustment, serum calcium and phosphorus levels should be monitored closely (e.g., twice weekly). If clinically significant hypercalcemia develops, the dose should be reduced or interrupted. Chronic administration of Zemplar™ may place patients at risk ofhypercalcemia, elevated Ca x P product, and metastatic calcification. Signs and symptoms of vitamin D intoxication associated with hypercalcemia include:EarlyWeakness, headache, somnolence, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, constipation, muscle pain, bone pain, and metallic taste.LateAnorexia, weight loss, conjunctivitis (calcific),pancreatitis, photophobia, rhinorrhea, pruritus,hyperthermia, decreased libido, elevated BUN, hypercholesterolemia, elevated AST and ALT, ectopic calcification, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, somnolence, death, and, rarely, overt psychosis.Treatment of patients with clinically significant hypercalcemia consists of immediate dose reduction or interruption of Zemplar™ therapy and includes a low calcium diet, withdrawal of calcium supplements, patient mobilization, attention to fluid and electrolyte imbalances, assessment of electrocardiographic abnormalities (critical in patients receiving digitalis), and hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis against a calcium-free dialysate, as warranted. Serum calcium levels should be monitored frequently until normocalcemia ensues.Phosphate or vitamin D-related compounds should not be taken concomitantly with Zemplar™.PRECAUTIONSGeneral: Digitalis toxicity is potentiated by hypercalcemia of any cause, so caution should be applied when digitalis compounds are prescribed concomitantly with Zemplar™. Adynamic bone lesions may develop if PTH levels are suppressed to abnormal levels. Information for the Patient: The patient should be instructed that, to ensure effectiveness of Zemplar™ therapy, it is important to adhere to a dietary regimen of calcium supplementation and phosphorus restriction. Appropriate types of phosphate-binding compounds may be needed to control serum phosphorus levels in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), but excessive use of aluminum containing compounds should be avoided. Patients should also be carefully informed about the symptoms of elevated calcium.Essential Laboratory Tests:During the initial phase of medication, serum calcium and phosphorus should be determined frequently (e.g., twice weekly). Once dosage has been established, serum calcium and phosphorus should be measured at least monthly. Measurements of serum or plasma PTH are recommended every 3 months. An intact PTH (iPTH) assay is recommended for reliable detection of biologically active PTH in patients with CRF. During dose adjustment of Zemplar™, laboratory tests may be required more frequently.Drug Interactions:Specific interaction studies were not performed. Digitalis toxicity is potentiated by hypercalcemia of any cause, so caution should be applied when digitalis compounds are prescribed concomitantly with Zemplar™.Carcinogenesis,Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility:Long-term studies in animals to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of paricalcitol have not been completed. Paricalcitol did not exhibit genetic toxicity in vitro with or without metabolic activation in the microbial mutagenesis assay (Ames Assay), mouse lymphoma mutagenesis assay (L5178Y), or a human lymphocyte cell chromosomal aberration assay. There was also no evidence of genetic toxicity in an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. Zemplar™ had no effect on fertility (male or female) in rats at intravenous doses up to 20 mcg/kg/dose [equivalent to 13 times the highest recommended human dose (0.24 mcg/kg) based on surface area, mg/m2]. Pregnancy:Pregnancy Category C.Paricalcitol has been shown to cause minimal decreases in fetal viability (5%) when administered daily to rabbits at a dose 0.5 times the0.24mcg/kg human dose (based on surface area, mg/m2) and when administered to rats ata dose 2 times the 0.24 mcg/kg human dose (based on plasma levels of exposure). At the highest dose tested (20 mcg/kg 3 times per week in rats,13 times the 0.24 mcg/kg human dose based on surface area), there was a significant increase of the mortality of newborn rats at doses that were maternally toxic (hypercalcemia). No other effects on offspring development were observed. Paricalcitol was not teratogenic at the doses tested.There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Zemplar™ should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Nursing Mothers: It is not known whether paricalcitol is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Zemplar™ is administered to a nursing woman.Pediatric Use:Safety and efficacy of Zemplar™ in pediatric patients have not been established.Geriatric Use:Of the 40 patients receiving Zemplar™ in the three phase 3 placebo-controlled CRF studies, 10 patients were 65 years or over. In these studies, no overall differences in efficacy or safety were observed between patients 65 years or older and younger patients.ADVERSE REACTIONSZemplar™ has been evaluated for safety in clinical studies in 454 CRF patients.In four, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter studies, discontinuation of therapy due to any adverse event occurred in 6.5% of 62 patients treated with Zemplar™ (dosage titrated as tolerated, see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies) and 2.0% of 51 patients treated with placebo for one to three months. Adverse events occurring with greater frequency in the Zemplar™ group at a frequency of 2% or greater, regardless of causality, are presented in the following table:Adverse Event Incidence Rates for All Treated PatientsIn All Placebo-Controlled StudiesZemplar™ (n=62)Placebo (n=51)Adverse Event number of events, %number of events, % Overall7178 .Body as a WholeChills5 0Feeling unwell3 0Fever5 2Flu5 4Sepsis5 2Cardiovascular SystemPalpitation3 0Digestive SystemDry mouth3 2Gastrointestinal bleeding5 2Nausea 13 8Vomiting8 4Metabolic and Nutritional DisordersEdema7 0Nervous SystemLight-headedness5 2Respiratory SystemPneumonia5 0A patient who reported the same medical term more than once was counted only once for that medical term.Safety parameters (changes in mean Ca, P, Ca x P) in an open-label safety study up to 13 months in duration support the long-term safety of Zemplar™in this patient population.OVERDOSAGEOverdosage of Zemplar™ may lead to hypercalcemia (see WARNINGS).DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONThe currently accepted target range for iPTH levels in CRF patients is no more than 1.5 to 3 times the non-uremic upper limit of normal.The recommended initial dose of Zemplar™ is 0.04 mcg/kg to0.1mcg/kg(2.8 – 7 mcg) administered as a bolus dose no more frequently than every other day at any time during dialysis. Doses as high as 0.24 mcg/kg (16.8 mcg) have been safely administered.If a satisfactory response is not observed, the dose may be increased by 2 to 4 mcg at 2-to 4-week intervals. During any dose adjustment period, serum calcium and phosphorus levels should be monitored more frequently, and if an elevated calcium level or a Ca x P product greater than 75 is noted, the drug dosage should be immediately reduced or interrupted until these parameters are normalized. Then, Zemplar™ should be reinitiated at a lower dose. Doses may need to be decreased as the PTH levels decrease in response to therapy. Thus, incremental dosing must be individualized.The following table is a suggested approach in dose titration:Suggested Dosing GuidelinesPTH Level Zemplar™ Dosethe same or increasing increasedecreasing by <30% increasedecreasing by >30%, <60% maintaindecreasing by >60% decreaseone and one-half to threetimes upper limit of normal maintainParenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit.Discard unused portion.HOW SUPPLIEDZemplar™ (paricalcitol injection) 5 mcg/mL is supplied as1 and2 mL single-dose Fliptop Vials.List No. Volume/Container Concentration Total Content1658 1 mL/Fliptop Vial 5 mcg/mL 5 mcg1658 2 mL/Fliptop Vial 5 mcg/mL 10 mcgStore at 25°C (77°F).

Recommended doses and adjustment for dose for adults are shown in Table 1. In order to calculate the dose recommended for patients with renal impairment, creatinine clearance adjusted for body surface area must be calculated.

Irritability was reported in 6.5% of patients treated with KEPPRA XR.Aggression was reported in 1.3% of patients treated with KEPPRA XR.No patient discontinued treatment or had a dose reduction as a result of these adverse reactions.There is considerably less controlled clinical trial experience with KEPPRA XR than with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets, and some adverse reactions observed with immediate-release KEPPRA may not have been detected in KEPPRA XR clinical trials because of limited number of patients. These adverse reactions may however occur in patients receiving KEPPRA XR.Immediate-Release KEPPRA TabletsA total of 13.3% of adult patients and 37.6% of pediatric patients (4 to 16 years of age) treated with immediate-release KEPPRAexperienced non-psychotic behavioral symptoms (reported as aggression, agitation, anger, anxiety, apathy, depersonalization, depression, emotional lability, hostility, hyperkinesias, irritability, nervousness, neurosis, and personality disorder), compared to6.2% and 18.6% of adult and pediatric patients on placebo. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was performedto assess the neurocognitive and behavioral effects of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets as adjunctive therapy in pediatric patients (4 to 16 years of age). An exploratory analysis suggested a worsening in aggressive behavior in patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets in that study [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].A total of 1.7% of adult patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA discontinued treatment due to behavioral adverseevents, compared to 0.2% of patients on placebo. The treatment dose was reduced in 0.8% of adult patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA, compared to 0.5% of patients on placebo. Overall, 10.9% of pediatric patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA experienced behavioral symptoms associated with discontinuation or dose reduction, compared to6.2% of pediatric patients on placebo.One percent of adult patients and 2% of pediatric patients (4 to 16 years of age) treated with immediate-release KEPPRA experienced psychotic symptoms, compared to 0.2% and 2%, respectively, in adult and pediatric patients on placebo. In the controlled study that assessed the neurocognitive and behavioral effects of immediate-release KEPPRA in pediatric patients 4 to16 years of age, 1 (1.6%) patient treated with KEPPRA experienced paranoia, compared to no patients on placebo. There were 2(3.1%) patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA who experienced confusional state, compared to no patients on placebo[see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].Two (0.3%) adult patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA were hospitalized, and their treatment was discontinued due to psychosis. In both patients, the psychosis event developed within the first week of treatment, and resolved within 1 to 2 weeks following treatment discontinuation. There was no difference between drug and placebo-treated patients in the incidence of pediatric patients who discontinued treatment due to psychotic and non-psychotic adverse reactions.5.2 Suicidal Behavior and IdeationAntiepileptic drugs (AEDs), including KEPPRA XR, increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication. Patients treated with any AED for any indication should be monitored for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behavior.Pooled analyses of 199 placebo-controlled clinical trials (mono-and adjunctive therapy) of 11 different AEDs showed that patients randomized to one of the AEDs had approximately twice the risk (adjusted Relative Risk 1.8, 95% CI:1.2, 2.7) of suicidal thinking or behavior compared to patients randomized to placebo. In these trials, which had a median treatment duration of 12 weeks, the estimated incidence rate of suicidal behavior or ideation among 27,863 AED-treated patients was 0.43%, compared to0.24% among 16,029 placebo-treated patients, representing an increase of approximately one case of suicidal thinking or behaviorfor every 530 patients treated. There were four suicides in drug-treated patients in the trials and none in placebo-treated patients, but the number is too small to allow any conclusion about drug effect on suicide.The increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior with AEDs was observed as early as one week after starting drug treatment with AEDs and persisted for the duration of treatment assessed. Because most trials included in the analysis did not extend beyond 24 weeks, the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior beyond 24 weeks could not be assessed.The risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior was generally consistent among drugs in the data analyzed. The finding of increased risk with AEDs of varying mechanisms of action and across a range of indications suggests that the risk applies to all AEDs used for any indication. The risk did not vary substantially by age (5-100 years) in the clinical trials analyzed. Table 2 shows absolute and relative risk by indication for all evaluated AEDs.Table 2: Risk By Indication For Antiepileptic Drugs In The Pooled AnalysisIndication PlaceboPatients withEvents Per1000Patients DrugPatients withEvents Per1000PatientsRelative Risk:Incidence ofEvents in DrugPatients/Incidencein PlaceboPatientsRisk Difference:Additional DrugPatients with EventsPer 1000 PatientsEpilepsy 1.0 3.4 3.5 2.4Psychiatric 5.7 8.5 1.5 2.9Other 1.0 1.8 1.9 0.9Total 2.4 4.3 1.8 1.9The relative risk for suicidal thoughts or behavior was higher in clinical trials for epilepsy than in clinical trials for psychiatric or other conditions, but the absolute risk differences were similar for the epilepsy and psychiatric indications.Anyone considering prescribing KEPPRA XR or any other AED must balance the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior with the risk of untreated illness. Epilepsy and many other illnesses for which AEDs are prescribed are themselves associated with morbidity and mortality and an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Should suicidal thoughts and behavior emerge during treatment, the prescriber needs to consider whether the emergence of these symptoms in any given patient may be related to the illness being treated.Patients, their caregivers, and families should be informed that AEDs increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior and should be advised of the need to be alert for the emergence or worsening of the signs and symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts, behavior, or thoughts about self-harm. Behaviors of concern should be reported immediately to healthcare providers.5.3 Somnolence and FatiguePatients should be monitored for somnolence and fatigue, and be advised not to drive or operate machinery until they have gained sufficient experience on KEPPRA XR to gauge whether it adversely affects their ability to drive or operate machinery. In clinical trials of immediate-release KEPPRA, somnolence and asthenia occurred most frequently within the first 4 weeks of treatment.KEPPRA XR TabletsIn the KEPPRA XR double-blind, controlled trial in patients experiencing partial onset seizures, 7.8% of patients treated with KEPPRA XR experienced somnolence, compared to 2.5% of patients on placebo.No patient discontinued treatment or had a dose reduction as a result of these adverse reactions.There is considerably less controlled clinical trial experience with KEPPRA XR than with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets, and some adverse reactions observed with immediate-release KEPPRA may not have been detected in KEPPRA XR clinical trials because of limited number of patients. These adverse reactions may however occur in patients receiving KEPPRA XR. Immediate-Release KEPPRA TabletsIn general, the incidences of somnolence and fatigue in the pediatric partial onset seizure studies were comparable to those of the adult partial onset seizure studies.In controlled trials of adult patients with epilepsy experiencing partial onset seizures, 14.8% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA reported somnolence, compared to 8.4% of patients on placebo. There was no clear dose response up to 3000 mg/day. In a study in which there was no titration, about 45% of patients receiving 4000 mg/day reported somnolence. The somnolence was considered serious in 0.3% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA, compared to no patients on placebo. About 3% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA discontinued treatment due to somnolence, compared to 0.7% of patients on placebo. The dose was reduced due to somnolence in 1.4% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA and in 0.9% of patients on placebo, while 0.3% of the patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA were hospitalized due to somnolence.In controlled trials of adult patients with epilepsy experiencing partial onset seizures, 14.7% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA reported asthenia, compared to 9.1% of patients on placebo. Treatment was discontinued due to asthenia in 0.8% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA, compared to 0.5% of patients on placebo. The dose was reduced due to asthenia in 0.5% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA and in 0.2% of patients on placebo.5.4 Serious Dermatological ReactionsSerious dermatological reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have been reported in both children and adults treated with KEPPRA. The median time of onset is reported to be 14 to 17 days, but cases have been reported at least four months after initiation of treatment. Recurrence of the serious skin reactions following rechallenge with KEPPRA has also been reported. KEPPRA XR should be discontinued at the first sign of a rash, unless the rash is clearly not drug-related. If signs or symptoms suggest SJS/TEN, use of this drug should not be resumed and alternative therapy should be considered.5.5 Coordination DifficultiesPatients should be monitored for coordination difficulties and advised not to drive or operate machinery until they have gained sufficient experience on KEPPRA XR to gauge whether it could adversely affect their ability to drive or operate machinery.A total of 3.4% of adult patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA experienced coordination difficulties, (reported as either ataxia, abnormal gait, or incoordination), compared to 1.6% of patients on placebo. A total of 0.4% of patients in controlled trials discontinued immediate-release KEPPRA treatment due to ataxia, compared to no patients on placebo. In 0.7% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA and in 0.2% of patients on placebo, the dose was reduced due to coordination difficulties, while one of the treated patients was hospitalized due to worsening of pre-existing ataxia. These events occurred most frequently within the first 4 weeks of treatment.Coordination difficulties were not observed in the KEPPRA XR controlled trial. There is considerably less controlled clinical trial experience with KEPPRA XR than with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets, and some adverse reactions observed with immediate-release KEPPRA may not have been detected in KEPPRA XR clinical trials because of limited number of patients. These adverse reactions may however occur in patients receiving KEPPRA XR5.6 Withdrawal SeizuresAntiepileptic drugs, including KEPPRA XR, should be withdrawn gradually to minimize the potential of increased seizure frequency.5.7 Hematologic AbnormalitiesAlthough there were no obvious hematologic abnormalities observed in the KEPPRA XR controlled study, there is considerably less controlled clinical trial experience with KEPPRA XR than with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets, and some adverse reactions observed with immediate-release KEPPRA may not have been detected in KEPPRA XR clinical trials because of limited number of patients. These adverse reactions may however occur in patients receiving KEPPRA XR.In controlled trials, a minor but statistically significant decrease (compared to placebo) in total mean RBC count (0.03 x 106/mm3), mean hemoglobin (0.09 g/dL), and mean hematocrit (0.38%), was seen in adult patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA. A total of 3.2% of adult patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA, and 1.8% of patients on placebo had at least one possibly significant (≤2.8 x 109/L) decreased WBC, and 2.4% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA vs. 1.4% of patients on placebo had at least one possibly significant (≤1.0 x 109/L) decreased neutrophil count. Of the patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA with a low neutrophil count, all but one rose towards or to baseline with continued treatment. No patient was discontinued secondary to low neutrophil counts.6 In pediatric patients (4 to <16 years of age), statistically significant decreases in WBC and neutrophil counts were seen in patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA, as compared to placebo. The mean decreases from baseline in the immediate-release KEPPRA group were -0.4 × 109/L and -0.3 × 109/L, respectively, whereas there were small increases in the placebo group. A significant increase in mean relative lymphocyte counts was observed in 1.7% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA compared to a decrease of 4% in patients on placebo.In the controlled pediatric trial, a possibly clinically significant abnormal low WBC value was observed in 3% of patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA, compared to no patients on placebo. However, there was no apparent difference between treatment groups with respect to neutrophil count. No patient was discontinued secondary to low WBC or neutrophil counts.In the controlled pediatric cognitive and neuropsychological safety study, two subjects (6.1%) in the placebo group and 5 subjects (8.6%) in the immediate-release KEPPRA-treated group had high eosinophil count values that were possibly clinically significant (≥10%or≥0.7X109/L).5.8 Seizure Control During PregnancyPhysiological changes may gradually decrease plasma levels of levetiracetam throughout pregnancy. This decrease is more pronounced during the third trimester. It is recommended that patients be monitored carefully during pregnancy. Close monitoring should continue through the postpartum period especially if the dose was changed during pregnancy.ADVERSE REACTIONSThe following adverse reactions are discussed in more details in other sections of labeling:•Psychiatric Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]•Suicidal Behavior And Ideation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]•Somnolence And Fatigue [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]•Serious Dermatological Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]•Coordination Difficulties [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]•Withdrawal Seizures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]•Hematologic Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)]6.1 Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause 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.The prescriber should be aware that the adverse reaction incidence figures in the following table, obtained when KEPPRA XR was added to concurrent AED therapy, cannot be used to predict the frequency of adverse reactions in the course of usual medical practice where patient characteristics and other factors may differ from those prevailing during clinical trials. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be directly compared with figures obtained from other clinical investigations involving different treatments, uses, or investigators. An inspection of these frequencies, however, does provide the prescriber with one basis to estimate the relative contribution of drug and non-drug factors to the adverse reaction incidences in the population studied.KEPPRA XR TabletsIn the controlled clinical study using KEPPRA XR in patients with partial onset seizures (Study 1), the most frequently reported adverse reactions in patients receiving KEPPRA XR in combination with other AEDs, for events with rates greater than placebo, were irritability and somnolence.Table 3 lists adverse reactions that occurred in at least 5% of epilepsy patients treated with KEPPRA XR participating in the placebo-controlled study (Study 1) and were numerically more common than in patients treated with placebo. In this study, either KEPPRA XR or placebo was added to concurrent AED therapy. Adverse reactions were usually mild to moderate in intensity.

The adverse reactions that resulted in discontinuation and that occurred more frequently in KEPPRA XR-treated patients than in placebo-treated patients were asthenia, epilepsy, mouth ulceration, rash and respiratory failure. Each of these adverse reactions led to discontinuation in a KEPPRA XR-treated patient and no placebo-treated patients.Table 4 lists the adverse reactions seen in the controlled studies of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets in adult patients experiencing partial onset seizures. Although the pattern of adverse reactions in the KEPPRA XR study seems somewhat different from that seen in partial onset seizure controlled studies for immediate-release KEPPRA tablets, this is possibly due to the much smaller number of patients in this study compared to the immediate-release tablet studies. The adverse reactions for KEPPRA XR are expected to be similar to those seen with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets.Immediate-Release KEPPRA TabletsAdultsIn controlled clinical studies of immediate-release KEPPRA tablets as adjunctive therapy to other AEDs in adults with partial onset seizures, the most frequently reported adverse reactions, for events with rates greater than placebo, were somnolence, asthenia, infection and dizziness.Table 4 lists adverse reactions that occurred in at least 1% of adult epilepsy patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA tablets participating in placebo-controlled studies and were numerically more common than in patients treated with placebo. In these studies, either immediate-release KEPPRA tablets or placebo was added to concurrent AED therapy. Adverse reactions were usually mild to moderate in intensity.Table 4: Incidence (%) Of Adverse Reactions In Placebo-Controlled, Add-On Studies In Adults Experiencing Partial Onset Seizures By Body System (Adverse Reactions Occurred In At Least 1% Of Immediate-Release KEPPRA-Treated Patients And Occurred More Frequently Than Placebo-Treated Patients)Body System/Adverse Reaction Immediate-releaseKEPPRA(N=769)%Placebo(N=439)%Body as a WholeAsthenia 15 9Headache 14 13Infection 13 8Pain 7 6Digestive SystemAnorexia 3 2Nervous SystemSomnolence 15 8Dizziness 9 4Depression 4 2Nervousness 4 2Ataxia 3 1Vertigo 3 1Amnesia 2 1Anxiety 2 1Hostility 2 1Paresthesia 2 1Emotional Lability 2 0Respiratory SystemPharyngitis 6 4Rhinitis 4 3Cough Increased 2 1Sinusitis 2 1Special SensesDiplopia 2 1Pediatric Patients 4 Years to <16 YearsIn a pooled analysis of two controlled pediatric clinical studies in children 4 to 16 years of age with partial onset seizures, the adverse reactions most frequently reported with the use of immediate-release KEPPRA in combination with other AEDs, and with greater frequency than in patients on placebo, were fatigue, aggression, nasal congestion, decreased appetite, and irritability.Table 5 lists adverse reactions that occurred in at least 2% of pediatric patients treated with immediate-release KEPPRA and were more common than in pediatric patients on placebo. In these studies, either immediate-release KEPPRA or placebo was added to concurrent AED therapy.
