Description

11 DESCRIPTION RYALTRIS is a metered-dose manual nasal spray unit containing an aqueous suspension of a fixed‑dose combination of a histamine-1 (H1) receptor inhibitor (olopatadine hydrochloride) and a corticosteroid (mometasone furoate monohydrate). Olopatadine hydrochloride is a white, sparingly water‑soluble crystalline powder. The chemical name for olopatadine hydrochloride is 2‑[(11Z)-11-[3-(dimethylamino)propylidene]-6H-benzo[c][1]benzoxepin-2-yl]acetic acid hydrochloride. It has a molecular weight of 373.88, and its molecular formula is C 21 H 23 NO 3

  • HCl with the following chemical structure: Mometasone furoate monohydrate is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid having the chemical name [(8S,9R,10S,11S,13S,14S,16R,17R)-9-chloro-17-(2-chloroacetyl)-11-hydroxy-10,13,16-trimethyl-3-oxo-6,7,8,11,12,14,15,16-octahydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl] furan-2-carboxylate;hydrate and the following chemical structure: Mometasone furoate monohydrate is a white powder, with an empirical formula of C 27 H 30 C l2 O 6
  • H 2 O and a molecular weight of 539.45. It is practically insoluble in water; slightly soluble in methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol; soluble in acetone and chloroform; and freely soluble in tetrahydrofuran. Its partition coefficient between octanol and water is >5000. RYALTRIS is a nasal spray containing an isotonic aqueous suspension of olopatadine hydrochloride (equivalent to 0.6% w/v olopatadine base) and mometasone furoate monohydrate (equivalent to 0.025% w/w mometasone furoate on the anhydrous basis). After initial priming (6 sprays), each metered spray delivers 100 microliters of suspension containing 665 mcg of olopatadine hydrochloride (equivalent to 600 mcg olopatadine base) and 25 mcg of mometasone furoate. RYALTRIS also contains benzalkonium chloride, carboxymethyl cellulose sodium, dibasic sodium phosphate heptahydrate, edetate disodium, hydrochloric acid, microcrystalline cellulose, glycerin, polysorbate 80, sodium chloride, sodium...

Adults and Pediatric Patients 12 Years of Age and Older The pooled RYALTRIS safety population reflects exposure to RYALTRIS at 2 sprays (2 sprays deliver a total of 1,330 mcg of olopatadine hydrochloride and 50 mcg of mometasone furoate) in each nostril twice daily in a total of 1189 patients from Studies 1 and 2 [see Clinical Studies (14)] and from three additional placebo and/or active-controlled studies in patients with allergic rhinitis. One placebo controlled study was a 52-week safety study. In this study, 393 patients were exposed to RYALTRIS for one year, and no new safety signals were observed. The RYALTRIS safety population described below reflects exposure to RYALTRIS at 2 sprays (2 sprays deliver a total of 1,330 mcg of olopatadine hydrochloride and 50 mcg of mometasone furoate) in each nostril twice daily for two weeks duration in a total of 789 patients, including 596 patients from Studies 1 and 2 [see Clinical Studies (14)], and 36 and 157 from two additional placebo and active-controlled studies in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. The demographics of the RYALTRIS-treated patients were 12 to 81 years of age (mean age of 40 years; 67% female; 81% White, 15% Black/African American and 3% Other). Table 1 lists adverse reactions from the safety population reported with frequencies ≥1% and more frequently than placebo in patients treated with RYALTRIS. Somnolence was reported in <1% (2 of 789) of patients treated with RYALTRIS and no patients treated with placebo.

  • Drug Interactions

    7 DRUG INTERACTIONS No formal drug-drug interaction studies have been performed with RYALTRIS. The drug interactions of the combination are expected to reflect those of the individual components [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.1 Central Nervous System Depressants Concurrent use of RYALTRIS with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants should be avoided because somnolence and impairment of central nervous system performance may occur [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . 7.2 Inhibitors of Cytochrome P450 3A4 Studies have shown that mometasone furoate, a component of RYALTRIS, is primarily and extensively metabolized to multiple metabolites. In vitro studies have confirmed the primary role of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 in the metabolism of this compound. Concomitant administration of CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of, and increase the mometasone furoate plasma concentration and potentially increase the risk for adverse reactions. Caution should be exercised when considering the coadministration of RYALTRIS with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

    Contraindications

    4 CONTRAINDICATIONS RYALTRIS is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any ingredients of RYALTRIS. Hypersensitivity reactions, including wheezing, has occurred after nasal administration of mometasone furoate [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )]. Patients with known hypersensitivity to any ingredients of RYALTRIS, including mometasone furoate. ( 4 )

    Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on RYALTRIS or mometasone furoate use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Postmarketing experience with antihistamines, with similar mechanism of action to olopatadine, have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. However, there are no published human data specific to olopatadine. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with RYALTRIS. However, animal reproduction studies are available for olopatadine hydrochloride and mometasone furoate. Oral administration of olopatadine hydrochloride to pregnant rats and rabbits caused a decrease in the number of live fetuses at maternal doses approximately 120 and 1600 times the maximum recommended human daily intranasal dose (MRHDID) on a mg/m 2 basis, respectively (see Data) . In animal reproduction studies with pregnant mice, rats, or rabbits, mometasone furoate caused increased fetal malformations and decreased fetal survival and growth following administration of doses that produced exposures approximately 1 to 16 times the MRHDID on a mcg/m 2 or AUC basis (see Data) . However, experience with oral corticosteroids suggests that rodents are more prone to teratogenic effects from corticosteroid exposure than humans. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data No reproductive toxicology studies were conducted with RYALTRIS; however, studies are available for olopatadine hydrochloride and mometasone furoate, as described below. Olopatadine...

    Overdosage

    10 OVERDOSAGE RYALTRIS contains both olopatadine hydrochloride and mometasone furoate; therefore, the risks associated with overdosage for the individual components described below apply to RYALTRIS. Olopatadine Hydrochloride: Symptoms of antihistamine overdose may include drowsiness in adults and children. Agitation and restlessness, followed by drowsiness in children. Should overdose occur, symptomatic or supportive treatment is recommended. Mometasone Furoate: Chronic overdosage with any corticosteroid may result in signs or symptoms of hypercorticism [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] .
