Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Sulfate salts provide sulfate anions, which are poorly absorbed. The osmotic effect of unabsorbed sulfate anions and the associated cations causes water to be retained within the gastrointestinal tract. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics No formal pharmacodynamic studies have been conducted with Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption and Elimination After administration of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution in six healthy subjects, the time at which serum sulfate reached its highest point (T max ) was approximately 17 hours after the first dose or approximately 5 hours after the second dose, and then declined with a half-life of 8.5 hours. Excretion Fecal excretion was the primary route of sulfate elimination. Specific Populations Patients with Renal Impairment The disposition of sulfate after ingestion of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution was studied in patients (N=6) with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance of 30 to 49 mL/min). In patients with moderate renal impairment, mean AUC was 54% higher and mean C max was 44% higher, than healthy subjects. The mean sulfate concentrations in healthy subjects and in patients with moderate renal impairment returned to their respective baselines by Day 6 after dose initiation. Urinary excretion of sulfate over 30 hours after the first dose was approximately 16% lower in patients with moderate renal impairment than in healthy subjects. These differences are not considered clinically meaningful. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The disposition of sulfate after ingestion of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution was studied in patients (N=6) with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh grades A and B). Systemic exposure of serum sulfate (AUC and C max ) was similar between healthy subjects and patients with hepatic impairment. The mean sulfate concentrations in healthy subjects and in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment returned to their respective baselines by Day 6 after dose initiation. Urinary excretion of sulfate over 30 hours after the first dose was similar between patients with hepatic impairment and healthy subjects.

Animal Pharmacology And Or Toxicology

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology The sulfate salts of sodium, potassium, and magnesium contained in Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution were administered orally (gavage) to rats and dogs up to 28 days up to a maximum daily dose of 5 grams/kg/day (approximately 0.9 and 3 times for rats and dogs, respectively, the recommended human dose of 44 grams/day or 0.89 grams/kg based on the body surface area). In rats, the sulfate salts caused diarrhea and electrolyte and metabolic changes, including hypochloremia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, lower serum osmolality, and high serum bicarbonate. Significant renal changes included increased fractional sodium excretion, increased urinary sodium and potassium excretion, and alkaline urine in both males and females. In addition, creatinine clearance was significantly decreased in females at the highest dose. No microscopic renal changes were seen. In dogs, the sulfate salts caused emesis, excessive salivation, excessive drinking of water, and abnormal excreta (soft and/or mucoid feces and/or diarrhea) and increased urine pH and sodium excretion.

    Clinical Studies

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES Adults The colon cleansing efficacy of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution was evaluated in a randomized, single-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study in adult patients scheduled to have a colonoscopy. There were 363 adult patients included in the efficacy analysis. Patients ranged in age from 20 to 84 years (mean age 55 years) and 54% were female. Race distribution was 86% Caucasian, 9% African-American, and 5% other. Patients were randomized to one of the following two colon preparation regimens: Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution or a marketed polyethylene glycol (PEG) plus electrolytes bowel preparation. In the Study Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution was administered as a split-dose (two-day) regimen. The PEG bowel prep was also given as a split-dose preparation according to its labeled instructions. Patients receiving Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution were limited to a light breakfast followed by clear liquids on the day prior to the day of colonoscopy; patients receiving the PEG bowel prep were allowed to have a normal breakfast and a light lunch, followed by clear liquids. The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with successful colon cleansing as assessed by the colonoscopists, who were not informed about the type of preparation received, as shown in Table 3. In the study, no clinically or statistically significant differences were seen between the group treated with Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution and the group treated with the PEG bowel prep. Table 3: Proportion of Adult Patients with Successful Colon Cleansing Response Rates 1 Responders were patients whose colon preparations were graded excellent (no more than small bits of adherent feces/fluid) or good (small amounts of feces or fluid not interfering with the exam) by the colonoscopist. 2 Does not equal difference in tabled responder rates due to rounding effects.

The majority of patients were female (57%), white (78%), and of non-Hispanic or non-Latino ethnicity (91%). The mean age was 14 years. The median body weight was 60 kg (range 32 to 155 kg). Patients were randomized to Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 6-ounce doses), Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses) or oral PEG solution. Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 6-ounce doses) did not demonstrate additional treatment benefit and more patients reported gastrointestinal adverse reactions compared to Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses); therefore, Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 6-ounce doses) is not recommended for pediatric patients 12 years of age and older [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] . Patients in the Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses) group took the preparation in a “split-dose” regimen, where the first dose was taken the evening before colonoscopy, with the second dose taken the morning of the exam. Patients in the control group took the preparation according to its approved labeling on the evening before colonoscopy. Patients in the Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses) were allowed to have a light breakfast on the day before colonoscopy, followed by clear liquids until the colonoscopy is completed the following day. Patients in the control group subjects were permitted only clear liquids on the day prior to colonoscopy until completion of the colonoscopy the following day. The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with successful colon cleansing as assessed by the colonoscopists, who were not informed about the type of preparation received. The percentage of responders and the associated 95% confidence intervals for the Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses) and Oral PEG solution are shown in Table 4. Efficacy was similar between patients who weighed 65 kg or more (n=12) and those patients who weighed less than 65 kg (n=15) in the Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses) arm. Table 4: Proportion of Pediatric Patients 12 Years to 16 Years of Age with Successful Colon Cleansing Response Rates 1 Responders were patients whose colon preparations were graded excellent (no more than small bits of adherent feces/fluid) or good (small amounts of feces or fluid not interfering with the exam) by the colonoscopist. 2 Does not equal difference in tabled responder rates due to rounding effects.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 375 patients who received Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution in clinical trials, 94 (25%) were 65 years of age or older, and 25 (7%) were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution, administered as the recommended split-dose (2-day) regimen, were observed between geriatric patients and younger patients. Geriatric patients reported more vomiting when Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution was given as a one-day preparation (not a recommended regimen). Elderly patients are more likely to have decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function and may be more susceptible to adverse reactions resulting from fluid and electrolyte abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Oral Solution (two 4.5-ounce doses) have been established for cleansing of the colon as a preparation for colonoscopy in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older.
