Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Weight Loss [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Vomiting [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] The most common adverse reactions (that occurred in at least 10% of DAYBUE-treated patients and at least 2% greater than in placebo) were diarrhea and vomiting. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 1-844-422-2342 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In controlled and uncontrolled trials in patients with Rett syndrome, 260 patients ages 2 to 40 years were treated with DAYBUE, including 109 patients treated for more than 6 months, 69 patients treated for more than 1 year, and 4 patients treated for more than 2 years. The safety of DAYBUE STIX has been established from an adequate, well-controlled study, and open-label studies of DAYBUE [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Below is a display of the adverse reactions of DAYBUE in these studies. Adult and Pediatric Patients with Rett Syndrome 5 Years of Age and Older The safety of DAYBUE was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week study of patients with Rett syndrome (Study 1) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . In Study 1, 93 patients received DAYBUE and 94 patients received placebo. All patients were female, 92% were White, and the mean age was 11 years (range 5 to 20 years). Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation of Treatment Eighteen patients (19%) receiving DAYBUE had adverse reactions that led to withdrawal from the study. The most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation of treatment with DAYBUE was diarrhea (15%). Common Adverse Reactions Adverse reactions that occurred in Study 1 in at least 5% of patients treated with DAYBUE and were at least 2% more frequent than in patients on placebo are presented in Table 5 . Table 5 Adverse Reactions in at Least 5% of Patients Treated with DAYBUE and at Least 2% Greater than Placebo in Study 1 Adverse Reaction DAYBUE (N=93) % Placebo (N=94) % Diarrhea 82 20 Vomiting 29 12 Fever 9 4 Seizure 9 6 Anxiety 8 1 Decreased appetite 8 2 Fatigue 8 2 Nasopharyngitis 5 1 Pediatric Patients with Rett Syndrome 2 to 4 Years of Age In an open-label study in pediatric patients 2 to 4 years of age with Rett syndrome, a total of 13 patients received DAYBUE for at least 12 weeks and 9 patients received DAYBUE for at least 6 months. Adverse reactions in pediatric patients 2 to 4 years of age treated with DAYBUE were similar to those reported in adult and pediatric patients 5 years of age and older with Rett syndrome in Study 1. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of DAYBUE. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Aspiration and aspiration pneumonia secondary to vomiting [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] .
Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Orally administered CYP3A and/or P-gp sensitive substrates for which a small change in substrate plasma concentration may lead to serious adverse reactions: closely monitor for adverse reactions with concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of DAYBUE and DAYBUE STIX on Other Drugs CYP3A and/or P-gp Substrates Closely monitor patients when DAYBUE or DAYBUE STIX is administered concomitantly with sensitive CYP3A and/or P-gp substrates where minimal increases in the plasma concentration of these substrates may lead to serious adverse reactions. Trofinetide, a weak inhibitor of CYP3A and an inhibitor of P-gp, increased the plasma concentrations of CYP3A and/or P-gp substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with these substrates.
Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risks associated with the use of DAYBUE or DAYBUE STIX in pregnant women. No adverse developmental effects were observed following oral administration of trofinetide to pregnant animals at doses associated with plasma exposures below those used clinically [see Animal Data ] . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Oral administration of trofinetide (0, 150, 450, or 1000 mg/kg twice daily; 0, 300, 900, or 2000 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development. At the highest dose tested, plasma exposure (AUC) was less than that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 12,000 mg twice daily (24,000 mg/day). Oral administration of trofinetide (0, 75, 150, or 300 mg/kg twice daily; 0, 150, 300, or 600 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development. At the highest dose tested, plasma exposure (AUC) was less than that in humans at the MRHD. Oral administration of trofinetide (0, 150, 450, or 1000 mg/kg twice daily; 0, 300, 900, or 2000 mg/kg/day) to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in no adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development. At the highest dose tested, plasma exposure (AUC) was less than that in humans at the MRHD.
