Tedizolid Phosphate

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE SIVEXTRO is an oxazolidinone antibacterial indicated for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) caused by designated susceptible microorganisms in adult and pediatric patients (at least 26 weeks gestational age and weighing at least 1 kg) ( 1.1 ) Usage to Reduce Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of SIVEXTRO and other antibacterial drugs, SIVEXTRO should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. 1.1 Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections SIVEXTRO ® is indicated for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) caused by susceptible isolates of the following gram-positive microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant [MRSA] and methicillin-susceptible [MSSA] isolates), Streptococcus pyogenes , Streptococcus agalactiae , Streptococcus anginosus Group (including Streptococcus anginosus , Streptococcus intermedius , and Streptococcus constellatus ), and Enterococcus faecalis , in adult and pediatric patients (at least 26 weeks gestational age and weighing at least 1 kg). 1.2 Usage to Reduce Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of SIVEXTRO and other antibacterial drugs, SIVEXTRO should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

Each 200 mg vial must be reconstituted with Sterile Water for Injection and subsequently diluted with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. SIVEXTRO vials contain no antimicrobial preservatives and are intended for single dose only. Discard any unused portion. Preparation of SIVEXTRO for Injection Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. The contents of the vial should be reconstituted using aseptic technique as follows: Note: To minimize foaming, AVOID vigorous agitation or shaking of the vial during or after reconstitution. For Adults and Pediatric Patients Weighing at Least 35 kg: Reconstitute the SIVEXTRO vial with 4 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to provide a concentration of 50 mg/mL in each vial. Gently swirl the contents and let the vial stand until the cake has completely dissolved and any foam disperses. Inspect the vial to ensure the solution contains no particulate matter and no cake or powder remains attached to the sides of the vial. If necessary, invert the vial to dissolve any remaining powder and swirl gently to prevent foaming. The reconstituted solution is clear and colorless to pale-yellow in color; the total time from reconstitution to the end of administration should not exceed 24 hours at either room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Tilt the upright vial and insert a syringe with appropriately sized needle into the bottom corner of the vial and remove 4 mL of the reconstituted solution for the 200 mg dose. Do not invert the vial during extraction. The reconstituted solution must be further diluted in 250 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Slowly inject the required volume of reconstituted solution as determined in Step 2 into a 250 mL bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Invert the bag gently to mix. Do NOT shake the bag as this may cause foaming. For Pediatric Patients Weighing Less than 35 kg: Reconstitute the SIVEXTRO vial with 4 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to provide a concentration of 50 mg/mL in each vial. Gently swirl the contents and let the vial stand until the cake has completely dissolved and any foam disperses. Inspect the vial to ensure the solution contains no particulate matter and no cake or powder remains attached to the sides of the vial. If necessary, invert the vial to dissolve any remaining powder and swirl gently to prevent foaming. The reconstituted solution is clear and colorless to pale-yellow in color; the total time from reconstitution to the end of administration should not exceed 24 hours at either room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Prepare a stock solution (100 mL of 0.8 mg/mL tedizolid phosphate): Tilt the upright vial and insert a syringe with appropriately sized needle into the bottom corner of the vial and remove 1.6 mL of the reconstituted solution and add it to an infusion bag containing 98.4 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Do not invert the vial during extraction. Prepare the required volume of stock solution for infusion: Refer to Table 4 to convert the dose in mg to the appropriate volume of stock solution to be administered. Transfer this volume of stock solution to an adequately sized infusion bag or infusion syringe. It may be necessary to round to the nearest graduation mark of an appropriately sized syringe for smaller volumes. The total time from reconstitution to the end of administration should not exceed 24 hours at either room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F).

Do not administer as an intravenous push or bolus. Do not mix SIVEXTRO for Injection with other drugs when administering. It is not intended for intra-arterial, intramuscular, intrathecal, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. The intravenous bag containing the reconstituted and diluted intravenous solution should be inspected visually for particulate matter prior to administration. Discard if visible particles are observed. The resulting solution is clear and colorless to pale-yellow in color. After reconstitution and dilution, SIVEXTRO for Injection is to be administered via intravenous infusion using a total time of 1 hour. The total time from reconstitution to the end of administration of SIVEXTRO for Injection should not exceed 24 hours at either room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Discard unused portion. 2.6 Compatible Intravenous Solutions SIVEXTRO is compatible with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP and 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Limited data are available on the compatibility of SIVEXTRO for Injection with other intravenous substances, additives or other medications and they should not be added to SIVEXTRO single-dose vials or infused simultaneously. If the same intravenous line is used for sequential infusion of several different drugs, the line should be flushed before and after infusion of SIVEXTRO with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. 2.7 Incompatibilities SIVEXTRO for Injection is incompatible with any solution containing divalent cations (e.g., Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ), including Lactated Ringer’s Injection and Hartmann’s Solution.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Serotonin Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Clostridioides difficile -Associated Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥2%) in adult patients are nausea, headache, diarrhea, infusion- or injection-related adverse reactions, vomiting, and dizziness. ( 6.1 ) The most common adverse reactions (>2%) in pediatric patients (12 years to less than 18 years of age) are phlebitis and increased hepatic transaminases. ( 6.1 ) The most common adverse reactions (>2%) in pediatric patients (less than 12 years of age) are infusion- or injection-related adverse reactions and vomiting.

Clinical Trials Experience in Adult Patients Adverse reactions were evaluated for 1425 adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO in two Phase 2 and four Phase 3 clinical trials (three Phase 3 trials for 6 days of therapy and one Phase 3 trial for 7-21 days of therapy). The median age of adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO in the Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials was 44 years, ranging between 17 and 94 years old. The majority of adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO were male (66%) and White (67%). Serious Adverse Reactions and Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation in Adults Serious adverse reactions occurred in 37/1425 (2.6%) of adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO and in 25/1000 (2.5%) of adult patients treated with the comparator. SIVEXTRO was discontinued due to an adverse reaction in 14/1425 (1%) of adult patients and the comparator was discontinued due to an adverse reaction in 13/1000 (1.3%) of adult patients. Most Common Adverse Reactions in Adults The most common adverse reactions in adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO were nausea (7.1%), headache (4.5%), diarrhea (3.6%), vomiting (2.7%), and dizziness (1.6%). The median time of onset of adverse reactions was 5 days for both SIVEXTRO and linezolid with 12% occurring on the second day of treatment in both treatment groups. Table 5 lists selected adverse reactions occurring in at least 2% of adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO in clinical trials. Table 5: Selected Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥2% of Adult Patients Receiving SIVEXTRO in the Pooled Phase 3 ABSSSI Clinical Trials Adverse Reactions Pooled Phase 3 ABSSSI Clinical Trials SIVEXTRO (200 mg oral/intravenous once daily for 6 days) (N=1037) Linezolid (600 mg oral/intravenous twice daily for 10 days) (N=1000) Gastrointestinal Disorders Nausea 7% 10% Diarrhea 4% 5% Vomiting 3% 5% Nervous System Disorder Headache 5% 5% Dizziness 2% 2% Infusion- or Injection-Related Adverse Reactions Includes adverse reactions in the following body system or organ classes: General disorders and administration site conditions, infections and infestations, injury, poisoning and procedural complications, and vascular disorders, including but not limited to, phlebitis, injection- or infusion-site pain, injection- or infusion-site swelling, injection-site reaction, injection-site erythema, injection-site induration, and infusion-related reaction. 4% 2% The following selected adverse reactions were reported in SIVEXTRO-treated adult patients at a rate of less than 2% in these clinical trials: Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: anemia Cardiovascular: palpitations, tachycardia Eye Disorders: asthenopia, vision blurred, visual impairment, vitreous floaters Immune System Disorders: drug hypersensitivity Infections and Infestations: Clostridioides difficile colitis, oral candidiasis, vulvovaginal mycotic infection Investigations: hepatic transaminases increased (ALT increased, AST increased), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) increased, white blood cell count decreased Nervous System Disorders: hypoesthesia, paresthesia, VII th nerve paralysis Psychiatric Disorders: insomnia Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: pruritus, urticaria, dermatitis Vascular Disorders: flushing, hypertension Laboratory Parameters Hematology laboratory abnormalities that were determined to be potentially clinically significant in the pooled Phase 3 ABSSSI clinical trials are provided in Table 6 .

In the Phase 3 trials, clinically significant changes in these parameters were generally similar for both treatment arms (see Table 6 ). In postmarketing experience, thrombocytopenia has been reported in patients treated with SIVEXTRO. In one postmarketing report, patients who experienced thrombocytopenia were treated with tedizolid for a median duration of 26.5 days. A duration of treatment beyond 6 days is not approved . Peripheral and Optic Neuropathy Peripheral and optic neuropathy have been described in patients treated with another member of the oxazolidinone class for longer than 28 days. In Phase 3 trials in adults, reported adverse reactions for peripheral neuropathy and optic nerve disorders were similar between both treatment arms (peripheral neuropathy 1.2% vs. 0.7% for tedizolid phosphate and linezolid, respectively; optic nerve disorders 0.3% vs. 0.1%, respectively). Clinical Trials Experience in Pediatric Patients SIVEXTRO was evaluated in 166 pediatric patients with ABSSSI in two randomized, active-controlled clinical trials, including one in patients aged 12 years to less than 18 years and one in patients aged 4 months to less than 12 years (Pediatric Trial 1 and Pediatric Trial 2, respectively). Additionally, SIVEXTRO was evaluated in 47 pediatric patients less than 2 years of age with a suspected or confirmed gram-positive bacterial infection in an open-label clinical trial (pediatric Trial 3). Pediatric Trial 1 Adverse Reactions Pediatric Trial 1 was a randomized, active-controlled, single-blind clinical trial that enrolled pediatric patients aged 12 to less than 18 years with ABSSSI. A total of 91 pediatric patients were treated with IV and/or oral SIVEXTRO 200 mg for 6 days and 29 patients were treated with a comparator agent for 10 days. The majority of pediatric patients treated with SIVEXTRO were male (64%) and white (88%). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 1/91 (1%) of pediatric patients treated with SIVEXTRO and in none of the 29 patients treated with the comparator. Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation occurred in 1 (1%) pediatric patient in the SIVEXTRO arm and in none in the comparator arm. The most common adverse reactions occurring in those receiving SIVEXTRO in Pediatric Trial 1 were phlebitis (3%), increased hepatic transaminases (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase) (3%), anemia (1%), and vomiting (1%).

A total of 75 patients were treated with IV and/or oral SIVEXTRO for 6 to 10 days and 25 were treated with a comparator agent for 10 to 14 days. The oral suspension formulation (currently not an approved formulation) was used in the clinical trial for those receiving oral therapy [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. The majority of patients treated with SIVEXTRO were male (53%) and white (77%), with a median age of 7 years and range of 0.3 to 11 years. The most common adverse reactions occurring in >2% of patients receiving SIVEXTRO in Pediatric Trial 2 were infusion- or injection-related adverse reactions (including catheter site pain, catheter occlusion, infusion site extravasation, phlebitis; 5%), and vomiting (4%). Potentially clinically significant laboratory abnormalities in Pediatric Trial 2 included one patient treated with SIVEXTRO who developed thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 100 × 10 3 /mm 3 . Pediatric Trial 3 Pediatric Trial 3 was an open-label, pharmacokinetic and safety trial enrolling 47 pediatric patients less than 2 years of age as follows: ages 28 days to less than 2 years (N=14), term neonates from birth to less than 28 days (N=16), and pre-term neonates (gestational age ≥ 26 weeks) from birth to less than 28 days (N=17). In this single-arm trial, 39 patients aged less than 2 years with a suspected or confirmed gram-positive bacterial infection received a single-dose of IV or oral SIVEXTRO and 8 patients aged less than 28 days with a suspected or confirmed gram-positive bacterial infection received multiple doses of IV SIVEXTRO for 3 days. The majority of patients were male (62%) and white (55%), with a median age of 16 days (range 1 day to 608 days). The safety profile observed in this pediatric population was similar to that observed in Pediatric Trials 1 and 2. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of SIVEXTRO. 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. Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders : thrombocytopenia Nervous system disorders : serotonin syndrome

12.3 Pharmacokinetics Tedizolid phosphate is a prodrug that is converted by phosphatases to tedizolid, the microbiologically active moiety, following oral and intravenous administration. Only the pharmacokinetic profile of tedizolid is discussed further due to negligible systemic exposure of tedizolid phosphate following oral and intravenous administration. Following multiple once-daily oral or intravenous administration, steady-state concentrations are achieved within approximately three days with tedizolid accumulation of approximately 30% (tedizolid half-life of approximately 12 hours). Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of tedizolid following oral and intravenous administration of 200 mg once daily tedizolid phosphate in adults are shown in Table 8 . Table 8: Mean (Standard Deviation) Tedizolid Pharmacokinetic Parameters Following Single and Multiple Oral and Intravenous Administration of 200 mg Once-Daily Tedizolid Phosphate in Adults Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Tedizolid C max , maximum concentration; T max , time to reach C max ; AUC, area under the concentration-time curve; CL, systemic clearance; CL/F, apparent oral clearance Oral Intravenous Single Dose Steady State Single Dose Steady State C max (mcg/mL) 2.0 (0.7) 2.2 (0.6) 2.3 (0.6) 3.0 (0.7) T max (hr) Median (range) 2.5 (1.0 - 8.0) 3.5 (1.0 - 6.0) 1.1 (0.9 - 1.5) 1.2 (0.9 - 1.5) AUC (mcg ∙ hr/mL) AUC is AUC 0- ∞ (AUC from time 0 to infinity) for single-dose administration and AUC 0-24 (AUC from time 0 to 24 hours) for multiple-dose administration 23.8 (6.8) 25.6 (8.5) 26.6 (5.2) 29.2 (6.2) CL or CL/F (L/hr) 7.5 (2.3) 6.9 (1.7) 6.4 (1.2) 5.9 (1.4) Absorption Peak plasma tedizolid concentrations are achieved within approximately 3 hours following oral administration of the oral tablet under fasting conditions or at the end of the 1 hour intravenous infusion of tedizolid phosphate. The absolute bioavailability of the oral tablet is approximately 91% and no dosage adjustment is necessary between intravenous and oral administration. Tedizolid phosphate (oral tablet) may be administered with or without food as total systemic exposure (AUC 0-∞ ) is unchanged between fasted and fed (high-fat, high-calorie) conditions. Distribution Protein binding of tedizolid to human plasma proteins is approximately 70 to 90%. The mean steady state volume of distribution of tedizolid in healthy adults following a single intravenous dose of tedizolid phosphate 200 mg ranged from 67 to 80 L (approximately twice total body water). Tedizolid penetrates into the interstitial space fluid of adipose and skeletal muscle tissue with exposure similar to free drug exposure in plasma. Elimination Metabolism Other than tedizolid, which accounts for approximately 95% of the total radiocarbon AUC in plasma, there are no other significant circulating metabolites in humans. There was no degradation of tedizolid in human liver microsomes indicating tedizolid is unlikely to be a substrate for hepatic CYP450 enzymes. In vitro studies showed that conjugation of tedizolid is mediated via multiple sulfotransferase (SULT) isoforms (SULT1A1, SULT1A2, and SULT2A1). Excretion Following single oral administration of 14C-labeled tedizolid phosphate under fasted conditions in adult healthy volunteers, the majority of elimination occurred via the liver, with 82% of the radioactive dose recovered in feces and 18% in urine, primarily as a non-circulating and microbiologically inactive sulfate conjugate. Most of the elimination of tedizolid (>85%) occurs within 96 hours. Less than 3% of the tedizolid phosphate-administered dose is excreted in feces and urine as unchanged tedizolid. Specific Populations Based on the population pharmacokinetic analysis, there are no clinically relevant demographic or clinical patient factors (including age, gender, race, ethnicity, weight, body mass index, and measures of renal or liver function) that impact the pharmacokinetics of tedizolid. Patients with Hepatic Impairment Following administration of a single 200 mg oral dose of SIVEXTRO, no clinically meaningful changes in mean tedizolid C max and AUC 0- ∞ were observed in adult patients with moderate (n=8) or severe (n=8) hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B and C) compared to 8 matched healthy control subjects. No dose adjustment is necessary for patients with hepatic impairment. Patients with Renal Impairment Following administration of a single 200 mg intravenous dose of SIVEXTRO to 8 adult subjects with severe renal impairment defined as eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , the C max was essentially unchanged and AUC 0- ∞ was decreased by less than 10% compared to 8 matched healthy control adult subjects. Hemodialysis does not result in meaningful removal of tedizolid from systemic circulation, as assessed in subjects with end-stage renal disease (eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ). No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with renal impairment or patients on hemodialysis. Geriatric Patients The pharmacokinetics of tedizolid were evaluated in a Phase 1 study conducted in elderly healthy volunteers (age 65 years and older, with at least 5 subjects at least 75 years old; n=14) compared to younger control subjects (25 to 45 years old; n=14) following administration of a single oral dose of SIVEXTRO 200 mg. There were no clinically meaningful differences in tedizolid C max and AUC 0- ∞ between elderly subjects and younger control subjects. No dosage adjustment of SIVEXTRO is necessary in elderly patients. Male and Female Patients The impact of gender on the pharmacokinetics of SIVEXTRO was evaluated in clinical trials of adult healthy males and females and in a population pharmacokinetics analysis. The pharmacokinetics of tedizolid were similar in males and females. No dosage adjustment of SIVEXTRO is necessary based on gender. Pediatric Patients The pharmacokinetics of tedizolid was evaluated in clinical studies in pediatric patients from birth (includes neonates who are at least 26 weeks gestational age and weighing at least 1 kg) to less than 18 years of age (N=249). Compared to adult patients, tedizolid exposures are higher in pediatric patients (12 to <18 years of age, mean weight: 59.7 kg, weight range: 28 kg to 126 kg in Pediatric Trial 1) following multiple dose administration of a once daily dose of 200 mg IV or oral SIVEXTRO (geometric mean C max 3.1 vs. 2.0 mcg/mL, AUC 24h 28.6 vs. 21.0 mcg*h/mL); however, this increase in exposure is not considered clinically significant. The predicted steady state mean pharmacokinetic parameters of tedizolid by the pediatric weight-based dosage in Table 2 and Table 3 are shown in Table 9 .

Neither SIVEXTRO nor tedizolid detectably inhibited or induced the metabolism of selected CYP enzyme substrates, suggesting that drug-drug interactions based on oxidative metabolism are unlikely. Membrane Transporters Coadministration of multiple oral doses of SIVEXTRO (200 mg once daily) increased the C max and AUC of rosuvastatin (10 mg single oral dose), a known BCRP substrate, by approximately 55% and 70%, respectively, in healthy adult subjects [see Drug Interactions (7) ] . No clinically relevant interactions are expected to occur with drug efflux transporter P-gp and drug uptake transporters OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1, and OCT2 based on in vitro studies. Monoamine Oxidase Inhibition Tedizolid is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) in vitro . The interaction with MAO inhibitors could not be evaluated in Phase 2 and 3 trials, as subjects taking such medications were excluded from the trials. Adrenergic Agents Two placebo-controlled crossover studies were conducted to assess the potential of 200 mg oral SIVEXTRO at steady state to enhance pressor responses to pseudoephedrine and tyramine in healthy adults. No meaningful changes in blood pressure or heart rate were seen with pseudoephedrine. The median tyramine dose required to cause an increase in systolic blood pressure of ≥30 mmHg from pre-dose baseline was 325 mg with SIVEXTRO compared to 425 mg with placebo. Palpitations were reported in 21/29 (72.4%) adult subjects exposed to SIVEXTRO compared to 13/28 (46.4%) exposed to placebo in the tyramine challenge study. Serotonergic Agents In Phase 3 trials, subjects taking serotonergic agents including antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, and serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT1) receptor agonists (triptans), meperidine, or buspirone were excluded [see Drug Interactions (7) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
