Adverse Reactions

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2%) are local skin reactions, application site pruritus, and application site pain. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Almirall, at 1-866-665-2782 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 clinical practice. Two double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trials were conducted in 702 adult subjects with actinic keratosis on the face or scalp. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to KLISYRI or vehicle. Subjects enrolled in the trials had 4 to 8 clinically typical, visible, and discrete AK lesions in a contiguous area of 25 cm 2 on the face or scalp. Subjects had an average age of 70 years (range 45 to 96 years) and were predominantly Caucasian (99%), male (87%), with Fitzpatrick skin types I or II (72%) and actinic keratosis on the face (68%) or scalp (32%). Treatment groups were comparable across all demographics and baseline characteristics, including AK lesion count and distribution on the face or scalp. In the controlled trials, local skin reactions (LSRs) were collected independent of adverse events. Local skin reactions including erythema, flaking/scaling, crusting, swelling, vesiculation/pustulation, erosions/ulcerations were assessed by the investigators using a grading scale of 0 = absent, 1 = mild (slightly, barely perceptible), 2 = moderate (distinct presence), and 3 = severe (marked, intense). The percentages of subjects with the maximal post-baseline grades for each local skin reaction greater than baseline by treatment group are provided in Table 1 . LSRs were mostly mild to moderate in degree ( Table 1 ).

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Tirbanibulin is a microtubule inhibitor. The mechanism of action of KLISYRI for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis is unknown. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamics of tirbanibulin in the treatment of actinic keratosis is unknown. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption Following topical treatment of a mean daily dose of 138 mg (range: 54 to 295 mg) of KLISYRI to a 25 cm 2 contiguous area of the face or balding scalp, once daily for 5 consecutive days, the steady-state concentration of tirbanibulin was achieved by 72 hours with a mean±SD trough concentration (C trough ) of 0.11±0.08 ng/mL. On Day 5, systemic exposure to tirbanibulin was low with a mean±SD maximum plasma concentration (C max ) of 0.34±0.30 ng/mL and 0.18±0.10 ng/mL, and a mean±SD area under the plasma concentration from time zero to 24 hours (AUC 24 ) of 5.0±3.9 h*ng/mL and 3.2±1.9 h*ng/mL, in subjects who received the face and scalp topical treatment, respectively. The median time to reach C max (T max ) was ~7 hours. Distribution Plasma protein binding of tirbanibulin is 88% and is independent of concentrations in the range of 0.01 to 10 µg/mL. Elimination Metabolism Following topical treatment with KLISYRI to adult subjects with actinic keratosis, the plasma concentrations of KX2-5036 and KX2-5163, two pharmacologically inactive metabolites, were detectable with the highest plasma concentrations of 0.09 ng/mL and 0.12 ng/mL, respectively. The in vitro study indicated that incubation of 1 or 10 µM tirbanibulin with human hepatocytes generated KX2-5036, KX-5163 and other unidentified metabolites. In vitro, tirbanibulin is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4, and to a lesser extent, CYP2C8. Excretion Excretion of tirbanibulin has not been fully characterized in humans. Drug Interactions Clinical Studies No clinical studies evaluating the drug interaction potential of KLISYRI have been conducted. In Vitro Studies CYP Enzymes: Tirbanibulin and the metabolite KX2-5036 directly or time-dependently inhibited CYP 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 3A4 with an IC 50 value of >17 µM. Tirbanibulin up to 1 µM (431.5 ng/mL) and the metabolite KX2-5036 up to 3 µM (1024 ng/mL) did not induce CYP 1A2, 2B6, or 3A4. These findings suggest that KLISYRI has no clinically meaningful effect on the PK of drugs metabolized by CYP 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 3A4. Drug Transporters: Neither tirbanibulin nor the metabolite KX2-5036 was a substrate of MDR1, BCRP, BSEP, MRP2, MATE1, MATE2-K, OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1 or OCT2. Tirbanibulin and the metabolite KX2-5036 inhibited MATE1, MATE2-K, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1 and/or OCT2 with an IC 50 value of >1 µM. The results suggest that KLISYRI has no clinically meaningful effect on the PK of drugs mediated by MATE1, MATE2-K, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1 and OCT2.

Carcinogenesis And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility No studies have been performed to evaluate the potential of tirbanibulin to induce carcinogenesis. Tirbanibulin was negative in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Tirbanibulin was positive in an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, an in vitro mouse lymphoma assay with L5178/TK +/- cells, and an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats. Tirbanibulin was assessed for effects on fertility or reproductive function in rats. Reproductive performance of rats was unaffected by oral doses of tirbanibulin up to 4 mg/kg/day (94 times the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis) in males and 1 mg/kg/day (60 times the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis) in females. However, oral administration of 4 mg/kg/day of tirbanibulin to male rats adversely affected spermatogenesis, including reduced sperm count and motility, and increased observations of morphologically abnormal sperm. No effects on sperm were observed in males treated at 2 mg/kg/day (47 times the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis).

What is KLISYRI?

KLISYRI is a prescription medicine used on the skin to treat actinic keratosis on the face or scalp.

It is not known if KLISYRI is safe and effective in children less than 18 years of age.

Before using KLISYRI, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  • are being treated or have been treated for actinic keratosis with any other medicine, procedure, or surgery. You should not use KLISYRI until your skin has healed from other treatments.
  • have other skin problems in the treatment area.
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if KLISYRI can harm your unborn baby.
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if KLISYRI passes into your breast milk. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby during treatment with KLISYRI.
  • Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements.

    How should I use KLISYRI?

  • Use KLISYRI as your healthcare provider tells you to. KLISYRI is for skin use only.
  • Apply KLISYRI to evenly cover the treatment area(s) on the face or scalp 1 time a day for 5 days in a row (consecutive) using 1 single dose packet with each application. Do not apply KLISYRI to other areas.
  • Do not use more KLISYRI than you need to cover the treatment area. Using too much KLISYRI, or using it too often, or for too long can increase your chances of having a severe skin reaction or other side effects.
  • Do not cover the treatment area with a dressing after application of KLISYRI. Irritation of the skin may happen if a dressing is applied to the treatment area.

    Clinical Studies

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES Actinic Keratosis of the Face or Scalp Two double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trials (NCT03285477 and NCT03285490) were conducted with 702 adult subjects with actinic keratosis on the face or scalp. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to KLISYRI or vehicle. Subjects enrolled had 4 to 8 clinically typical, visible, and discrete AK lesions in a contiguous area of 25 cm 2 on the face or scalp. Subjects had an average age of 70 years (range 45 to 96 years), were predominantly Caucasian (99%), male (87%), with Fitzpatrick skin types I or II (72%) and actinic keratosis on the face (68%) or scalp (32%). Treatment groups were comparable across all demographics and baseline characteristics, including AK lesion count and distribution on the face or scalp. Subjects received 5 consecutive days of once daily treatment with either KLISYRI (353) or vehicle control (349) to the treatment field. Subjects with complete (100%) clearance of AK lesions in the treatment area at Day 57 returned to the clinic for recurrence assessment every 3 months for a total of 12 months post-Day 57. The primary efficacy endpoint was complete (100%) clearance of AK lesions in the treatment area, defined as the proportion of subjects at Day 57 with no clinically visible AK lesions in the treatment area and the secondary endpoint was partial (≥75%) clearance of AK lesions in the treatment area. Results from both studies are presented below. Table 3 Complete (100%) AK Clearance Rates on Day 57 for the Two Phase 3 Studies (Intent to Treat [ITT] Population a.

Subjects who achieved 100% clearance of AK lesions in the treatment area at Day 57 continued to be followed for up to 12 months following Day 57 to determine the recurrence rate. Recurrence was defined as the proportion of subjects with any identified AK lesion (new or previous lesion) in the previously treated area who achieved 100% clearance at Day 57. Of the 174 subjects treated with KLISYRI who were followed, the recurrence rate at 12 months post Day 57 was 73%.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 353 subjects with AK treated with KLISYRI in the 2 controlled Phase 3 trials, 246 (70%) were 65 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of KLISYRI for actinic keratosis in subjects less than 18 years of age have not been established. Actinic keratosis is not a condition generally seen within the pediatric population.

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data with KLISYRI use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of tirbanibulin to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in an increased incidence of fetal deaths and malformations at a systemic exposure that was at least 74 times the exposure associated with the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). Oral administration of tirbanibulin to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced mean fetal weight and size at a systemic exposure that was 159 times the exposure associated with the MRHD ( see Data ). The 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 risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Tirbanibulin induced fetal deaths and external, visceral, and skeletal malformations when administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at doses greater than or equal to 1.25 mg/kg/day, which resulted in systemic exposures at least 74 times the exposure associated with the MRHD on an Area Under the Curve (AUC) comparison basis. Tirbanibulin had no apparent effects on fetal development in rats at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day, which resulted in systemic exposures 18 times the exposure associated with the MRHD. Tirbanibulin reduced mean fetal weight and size (crown-rump length) when administered orally to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis at a dose of 3 mg/kg/day, which resulted in a systemic exposure 159 times the exposure associated with the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis. Tirbanibulin had no apparent effects on fetal development in rabbits at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day, which resulted in systemic exposures 53 times the exposure associated with the MRHD. Tirbanibulin was assessed for effects on peri- and post-natal development of rats in a study that involved oral administration to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis through lactation at dosages up to 1.25 mg/kg/day. These dosages resulted in systemic exposures up to 74 times the exposure associated with the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis. No adverse effects on maternal function or developmental, neurobehavioral, or reproductive performance of offspring were observed.

    Use In Specific Populations

    8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data with KLISYRI use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of tirbanibulin to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in an increased incidence of fetal deaths and malformations at a systemic exposure that was at least 74 times the exposure associated with the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). Oral administration of tirbanibulin to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced mean fetal weight and size at a systemic exposure that was 159 times the exposure associated with the MRHD ( see Data ). The 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 risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Tirbanibulin induced fetal deaths and external, visceral, and skeletal malformations when administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at doses greater than or equal to 1.25 mg/kg/day, which resulted in systemic exposures at least 74 times the exposure associated with the MRHD on an Area Under the Curve (AUC) comparison basis. Tirbanibulin had no apparent effects on fetal development in rats at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day, which resulted in systemic exposures 18 times the exposure associated with the MRHD. Tirbanibulin reduced mean fetal weight and size (crown-rump length) when administered orally to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis at a dose of 3 mg/kg/day, which resulted in a systemic exposure 159 times the exposure associated with the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis. Tirbanibulin had no apparent effects on fetal development in rabbits at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day, which resulted in systemic exposures 53 times the exposure associated with the MRHD. Tirbanibulin was assessed for effects on peri- and post-natal development of rats in a study that involved oral administration to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis through lactation at dosages up to 1.25 mg/kg/day. These dosages resulted in systemic exposures up to 74 times the exposure associated with the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis. No adverse effects on maternal function or developmental, neurobehavioral, or reproductive performance of offspring were observed. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on lactational transfer of KLISYRI to human or animal milk. The effects of KLISYRI on the breastfed infant, or its effects on milk production, are unknown. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for KLISYRI and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from tirbanibulin or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of KLISYRI for actinic keratosis in subjects less than 18 years of age have not been established. Actinic keratosis is not a condition generally seen within the pediatric population. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 353 subjects with AK treated with KLISYRI in the 2 controlled Phase 3 trials, 246 (70%) were 65 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
