Precautions for Omlonti

Pigmentation

Omlonti (omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution) 0.002%, is a prodrug of omidenepag, a relatively selective EP2 receptor agonist. Pigmentation is expected to increase as long as omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution is administered. The pigmentation change is due to increased melanin content in the melanocytes rather than to an increase in the number of melanocytes. After discontinuation of Omlonti, pigmentation of the iris is likely to be permanent, while pigmentation of the periorbital tissue and eyelash changes are likely to be reversible in most patients. Patients who receive prostaglandin analogs, including Omlonti, should be informed of the possibility of increased pigmentation, including permanent changes. The long-term effects of increased pigmentation are not known.

Iris color change may not be noticeable for several months to years. Typically, the brown pigmentation around the pupil spreads concentrically towards the periphery of the iris and the entire iris or parts of the iris become more brownish. Neither nevi nor freckles of the iris appear to be affected by treatment. While treatment with Omlonti (omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution), 0.002% can be continued in patients who develop noticeably increased iris pigmentation, these patients should be examined regularly [see Patient Counseling Information].

Eyelash Changes

Omlonti may gradually change eyelashes and vellus hair in the treated eye. These changes include increased length, thickness, and the number of lashes or hairs. Eyelash changes are usually reversible upon discontinuation of treatment.

Ocular Inflammation

Ocular inflammation has been reported in patients taking Omlonti. Omlonti should be used with caution in patients with active ocular inflammation, including iritis/uveitis.

Macular Edema

Macular edema, including cystoid macular edema, has been reported during clinical trials in patients with pseudophakia receiving Omlonti. Omlonti should be used with caution in aphakic patients, in pseudophakic patients, or in patients with known risk factors for macular edema.

Risk Of Contamination And Potential Injury To The Eye

Advise patients to avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or any surface, as this may contaminate the solution. Advise patients to not touch the tip to their eye to avoid the potential for injury to the eye.

Patient Counseling Information

Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Instructions for Use).

Potential For Pigmentation

Patients should be advised about the potential for increased brown pigmentation of the iris, which may be permanent. Patients should also be informed about the possibility of eyelid skin darkening, which is usually reversible after discontinuation of Omlonti.

Potential For Eyelash Changes

Patients should also be informed of the possibility of eyelash and vellus hair changes in the treated eye during treatment with Omlonti. These changes may result in a disparity between eyes in length, thickness, pigmentation, number of eyelashes or vellus hairs, and/or direction of eyelash growth. Eyelash changes are usually reversible upon discontinuation of treatment.

Handling The Container

Advise patients to avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or any surface, as this may contaminate the solution. Advise patients to not touch the tip to their eye to avoid the potential for injury to the eye. The product should be refrigerated before opening, and once it is opened, it can be stored at room temperature for up to 31 days. [see HOW SUPPLIED/Storage And Handling].

When To Seek Physician Advice

Advise patients that if they develop a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma, infection, or inflammation), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, they should immediately seek their physician’s advice concerning the continued use of Omlonti.

Use With Contact Lenses

Contact lenses should be removed prior to administration of the solution. Lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes after administration.

Use with Other Ophthalmic Drugs Advise patients that if more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least five (5) minutes apart [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment  Of Fertility

Carcinogenesis

Lifetime rodent studies have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of omidenepag isopropyl or omidenepag.

In rats dosed by subcutaneous injection daily for 26 weeks, nephroblastoma and a spermatic cord tumor were found at 0.003 mg/kg/day (33 times the RHOD based on the estimated area under the curve [AUC]). Mammary adenocarcinoma and pituitary pars distalis adenomas were observed at 0.03 mg/kg/day (319 fold the RHOD based on the estimated AUC).

Mutagenesis

Omidenepag was not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test and the in vivo mouse micronucleus test. Omidenepag isopropyl was positive (mutagenic and clastogenic) without metabolic activation in the in vitro mouse lymphoma forward mutation assay. [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].

Impairment Of Fertility

In a rat fertility and early embryonic development study, daily subcutaneous doses of omidenepag isopropyl did not affect male or female fertility at doses up to 1 mg/kg/day (2,452 times the MRHOD based on estimated plasma Cmax).

The rabbit embryofetal development study administered omidenepag isopropyl to pregnant rabbits beginning on gestation day 6, covering the period of implantation [see Use In Specific Populations]. Preimplantation losses were observed at 0.8 mg/kg/day (3,696 times the MRHOD based on estimated plasma Cmax). The NOAEL for rabbit preimplantation loss was 0.08 mg/kg/day (256 times the MHROD based on estimated plasma Cmax) [see Use In Specific Populations].

Use In Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Risk Summary

There are no available data on the use of Omlonti in pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, subcutaneous administration of omidenepag isopropyl to pregnant rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis produced fetal skeletal anomalies at a dose of 24 times the clinical dose, based on estimated plasma Cmax. Omidenepag isopropyl was not teratogenic in rats when administered subcutaneously at 1 mg/kg/day, 2,452 times the clinical dose, based on estimated plasma Cmax (see Data).

Data

Animal Data

An embryofetal development study was conducted in pregnant rabbits administered omidenepag isopropyl once daily by subcutaneous injection at 0.008, 0.08, or 0.8 mg/kg/day from gestation Day 6 to 18, a period which covers implantation and the period of organogenesis in rabbits. Fetal skeletal anomalies (thoracic misaligned centrum and hemivertebra, fused sternebra, absent rib) were observed at 0.008 mg/kg/day (24 times the maximum recommended human ocular dose [MRHOD], based on estimated plasma Cmax). Additional fetal skeletal anomalies were observed at 0.08 mg/kg (absent thoracic arch, fused rib) and 0.8 mg/kg (misaligned and misshapen cervical vertebrae), corresponding to 256 times and 3,696 times the MRHOD based on estimated plasma Cmax, respectively. Increases in preimplantation loss and post-implantation loss were observed at 0.8 mg/kg/day. The rabbit maternal, No Observed Adverse Effect Level [NOAEL] was 0.8 mg/kg/day.

An embryofetal development study was conducted in pregnant rats administered omidenepag isopropyl once daily by subcutaneous injection at 0.01, 0.1, or 1 mg/kg/day from gestation Day 6 to 17, to target the period of organogenesis. Omidenepag isopropyl was not found to have any effect on embryo-fetal development in rats at up to 1 mg/kg/day (2,452 times the MRHOD based on estimated plasma Cmax). The rat maternal NOAEL was 1 mg/kg/day. In a pre/postnatal development study, treatment of pregnant rats with omidenepag isopropyl subcutaneously from gestation day 6 to lactation day 20 at 0.01, 0.1, or 1 mg/kg/day resulted in no adverse effects. The NOAEL for pre- and postnatal development was 1 mg/kg/day (2,452 times the MRHOD based on estimated plasma Cmax).

Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of Omlonti in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. However, systemic exposure to omidenepag following topical ocular administration is low [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], and it is not known whether measurable levels of omidenepag would be present in maternal milk following topical ocular administration. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Omlonti and any unknown potential adverse effects on the breast-fed child from Omlonti.

Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential

Infertility

There are no data on the effects of Omlonti on human fertility. No impairment of fertility has been reported in animals receiving omidenepag isopropyl subcutaneously at doses up to 2,452 times the clinical dose based on estimated plasma Cmax [see Nonclinical Toxicology].

Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of Omlonti have not been established in pediatric patients.

Geriatric Use

No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and other adult patients.

Clinical Pharmacology for Omlonti

Mechanism Of Action

Omidenepag is a relatively selective EP2 receptor agonist which decreases intraocular pressure (IOP). The exact mechanism of action is unknown at this time. Elevated IOP represents a major risk factor for glaucomatous field loss. The higher the level of IOP, the greater the likelihood of optic nerve damage and visual field loss.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

Omlonti is absorbed through the cornea where prodrug omidenepag isopropyl is hydrolyzed to become biologically active metabolite, omidenepag. After once daily ocular administration of one drop of omidenepag isopropyl 0.0025% eye drops to both eyes in humans for 7 days, plasma concentrations of omidenepag reached Cmax at 10­15 minutes. Systemic exposure was similar between days 1 and 7, indicating no systemic accumulation.

Elimination

Metabolism

After topical ocular administration, omidenepag isopropyl is rapidly metabolized in the eye to omidenepag (active moiety) by carboxylesterase-1. The pharmacologically active form, omidenepag is further metabolized by liver through oxidation, N-dealkylation, glucuronidation, sulfate conjugation or taurine conjugation.

Excretion

In rats, 0.03% ¹⁴C-Omlonti was instilled in both eyes as a single dose (5 mcL/eye, 3 mcg/animal). By 168 hours after ocular instillation, 89% of the administered radioactive dose had been excreted. Specifically, 83% and 4% of the administered radioactive dose were excreted in the feces and urine, respectively, and radioactivity in expired air was below the lower limit of quantitation.

Animal Toxicology And/Or Pharmacology

Nasal cavity respiratory epithelium metaplasia was observed in cynomolgus monkeys receiving unilateral topical ocular instillations of omidenepag isopropyl at 0.003% (0.9 mcg/eye) [1.07 fold the MRHOD, based on ocular dose comparison]. In a 13-week monkey study, the 0.9 mcg/eye dose was associated with nasal cavity respiratory epithelial metaplasia, and increased nasal cavity goblet cell respiratory epithelium mucosa. In a 39-week monkey study, the 0.9 mcg/eye dose was associated with increased incidence and severity of nasal cavity respiratory epithelium metaplasia. These findings were present in both the treated side and untreated contralateral side, and they were also observed in the vehicle group [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].

Clinical Studies

Omlonti was evaluated in three randomized and controlled clinical trials in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension with average baseline IOP of 24-26 mm Hg. The double-masked treatment duration was 3 months in all 3 studies. The third study included a 9-month open-label treatment period following the 3-month double-masked treatment period.

In the three studies, IOP reductions were observed for all treatment arms. In the Omlonti arm, the reduction in IOP ranged from 5-7 mm Hg across all three studies. The corresponding reductions for the timolol and latanoprost arms were 5-7 mm Hg and 6-8 mm Hg, respectively.
