5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Ultraviolet Light and Environmental Exposure
Exposure to sunlight, including sunlamps, should be minimized during the use of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel. Patients with high levels of sun exposure and those with inherent sensitivity to sun should exercise particular caution. Use of sunscreen products and protective apparel (e.g., hat) are recommended when exposure cannot be avoided. Weather extremes, such as wind or cold, may be irritating to patients under treatment with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel.
5.2 Local Cutaneous Reactions
Erythema, scaling, dryness, and stinging/burning may be experienced with use of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel. These are most likely to occur during the first four weeks of treatment, are mostly mild to moderate in intensity, and usually lessen with continued use of the medication. Irritant and allergic contact dermatitis may occur. Depending upon the severity of these adverse reactions, patients should be instructed to use a moisturizer, reduce the frequency of the application of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel, or discontinue use. The product should not be applied to cuts, abrasions, eczematous or sunburned skin. As with other retinoids, use of “waxing” as a depilatory method should be avoided on skin treated with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel.
Avoid concomitant use of other potentially irritating topical products (medicated or abrasive soaps and cleansers, soaps and cosmetics that have strong skin-drying effect and products with high concentrations of alcohol, astringents, spices, or limes).
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
6.1 Clinical Studies Experience
Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. During the Phase 3 clinical trial, 217 subjects were exposed to Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel. A total of 197 subjects with acne vulgaris, 12 years and older, were treated once daily for 12 weeks. Adverse reactions reported within 12 weeks of treatment in at least 1% of subjects treated with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel and for which the rate with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel exceeded the rate for the vehicle gel are presented in Table 1:
| Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 0.3%/2.5% (N=217) | Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, 0.1%/2.5% (N=217) | Vehicle Gel (N=69) |
|
| Skin irritation | 4% | <1% | 0% |
| Eczema | 1% | 0% | 0% |
| Dermatitis atopic | 1% | 0% | 0% |
| Skin burning sensation | 1% | 0% | 0% |
Local tolerability evaluations presented in Table 2, were conducted at each study visit in the clinical trial by assessment of erythema, scaling, dryness, and stinging/burning, which peaked at Week 1 of therapy and decreased thereafter.

6.2 Post-Marketing Experience
There is no post-marketing experience with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel, a similar drug containing 0.1% adapalene and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredients: eyelid edema, sunburn, blister, pain of skin, pruritus, swelling face, conjunctivitis, skin discoloration, rash, eczema, throat tightness and allergic contact dermatitis. 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.
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
No formal drug-drug interaction studies were conducted with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel.
Concomitant topical acne therapy should be used with caution because a possible cumulative irritancy effect may occur, especially with the use of peeling, desquamating, or abrasive agents.
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1 Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category C. There are no well-controlled trials in pregnant women treated with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with the combination gel. Furthermore, such studies are not always predictive of human response; therefore, Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the risk to the fetus.
No teratogenic effects were observed in rats treated with oral doses of 0.15 to 5.0 mg adapalene/kg/day, up to 8 times (mg/m2/day) the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 2 grams of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel. However, teratogenic changes were observed in rats and rabbits when treated with oral doses of ≥ 25 mg adapalene/kg/day representing 41 and 81 times MRHD, respectively. Findings included cleft palate, microphthalmia, encephalocele, and skeletal abnormalities in rats; and umbilical hernia, exophthalmos, and kidney and skeletal abnormalities in rabbits.
Dermal teratology studies conducted in rats and rabbits at doses of 0.6-6.0 mg adapalene/kg/day (9.7-19.5 times MRHD) exhibited no fetotoxicity and only minimal increases in supernumerary ribs in both species and delayed ossification in rabbits.
8.3 Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether adapalene or benzoyl peroxide is excreted in human milk following use of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel is administered to a nursing woman.
11 DESCRIPTION
Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) gel, 0.3%/2.5% is a white to very pale yellow, opaque gel for topical use containing adapalene 0.3% and benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. Adapalene, a synthetic retinoid, is a naphthoic acid derivative with retinoid-like properties. The chemical name for adapalene is (6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-methoxyphenyl]-2-naphthoic acid). It has the following structural formula:
Adapalene:
Molecular formula: C28H28O3 Molecular weight: 412.5
Benzoyl Peroxide is a highly lipophilic oxidizing agent that localizes in both bacterial and keratinocyte cell membranes. The chemical name for benzoyl peroxide is dibenzoyl peroxide. It has the following structural formula:
Benzoyl Peroxide:
Molecular formula: C14H10O4 Molecular weight: 242.23
Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel contains the following inactive ingredients: acrylamide/sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer, docusate sodium, edetate disodium, glycerin, isohexadecane, poloxamer 124, polysorbate 80, propylene glycol, purified water, and sorbitan oleate.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Adapalene
Adapalene binds to specific retinoic acid nuclear receptors but does not bind to cytosolic receptor protein. Biochemical and pharmacological profile studies have demonstrated that adapalene is a modulator of cellular differentiation, keratinization and inflammatory processes. However, the significance of these findings with regard to the mechanism of action of adapalene for the treatment of acne is unknown.
Benzoyl peroxide
Benzoyl peroxide is an oxidizing agent with bactericidal and keratolytic effects.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
A pharmacokinetic study was conducted in 26 adult and adolescent subjects (12 to 33 years of age) with severe acne vulgaris who were treated with once-daily applications during a 4-week period with, on average, 2.3 grams/day (range 1.6-3.1 grams/day) of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel applied as a thin layer to the face, shoulders, upper chest, and upper back.
After a 4-week treatment, 16 subjects (62%) had quantifiable adapalene plasma concentrations above the limit of quantification of 0.1 ng/mL, with a mean Cmax of 0.16 ± 0.08 ng/mL and a mean AUC0-24hr of 2.49 ± 1.21 ng.h/mL. The most exposed subject had adapalene Cmax and AUC0-24hr of 0.35 ng/mL and 6.41 ng.h/mL, respectively. Excretion of adapalene appears to be primarily by the biliary route.
Benzoyl peroxide is absorbed by the skin where it is converted to benzoic acid and eliminated in the urine.
13. NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
No carcinogenicity, photocarcinogenicity, genotoxicity, or fertility studies were conducted with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel.
Carcinogenicity studies with adapalene have been conducted in mice at topical doses of 0.4, 1.3, and 4.0 mg/kg/day (1.2, 3.9, 12 mg/m2/day), and in rats at oral doses of 0.15, 0.5, and 1.5 mg/kg/day (0.9, 3.0, and 9.0 mg/m2/day). In terms of body surface area, the highest dose levels are 3.2 (mice) and 2.4 (rats) the MRHD of 2 grams of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel. In the rat study, an increased incidence of benign and malignant pheochromocytomas reported in the adrenal medulla of male rats was observed.
No significant increase in tumor formation was observed in rodents topically treated with 15-25% benzoyl peroxide carbopol gel (6-10 times the concentration of benzoyl peroxide in Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel) for two years. Rats received maximum daily applications of 138 (males) and 205 (females) mg benzoyl peroxide/kg. In terms of body surface area, these levels are 27-40 times the MRHD. Similar results were obtained in mice topically treated with 25% benzoyl peroxide carbopol gel for 56 weeks followed by intermittent treatment with 15% benzoyl peroxide carbopol gel for rest of the 2 year study period, and in mice topically treated with 5% benzoyl peroxide carbopol gel for two years.
The role of benzoyl peroxide as a tumor promoter has been well established in several animal species. The significance of this finding in humans is unknown.
In a photocarcinogenicity study conducted with 5% benzoyl peroxide carbopol gel, no increase in UV-induced tumor formation was observed in hairless mice topically treated for 40 weeks.
No photocarcinogenicity studies were conducted with adapalene. However, animal studies have shown an increased tumorigenic risk with the use of pharmacologically similar drugs (e.g., retinoids) when exposed to UV irradiation in the laboratory or sunlight. Although the significance of these findings to humans is not clear, patients should be advised to avoid or minimize exposure to either sunlight or artificial irradiation sources.
Adapalene did not exhibit mutagenic or genotoxic effects in vitro (Ames test, Chinese hamster ovary cell assay, or mouse lymphoma TK assay) or in vivo (mouse micronucleus test).
Bacterial mutagenicity assays (Ames test) with benzoyl peroxide has provided mixed results; mutagenic potential was observed in a few but not in a majority of investigations. It has been shown to produce single-strand DNA breaks in human bronchial epithelial and mouse epidermal cells, caused DNA-protein cross-links in the human cells, and also induced a dose-dependent increase in sister chromatid exchanges in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
In rat oral studies, 20 mg adapalene/kg/day did not affect the reproductive performance and fertility of F0 males and females, or the growth, development and reproductive function of F1 offspring.
No fertility studies were conducted with benzoyl peroxide.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
The safety and efficacy of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel applied once daily for 12 weeks for the treatment of acne vulgaris were assessed in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study, comparing Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel to vehicle gel in subjects with acne vulgaris. The study also evaluated Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel, 0.1%/2.5%, a lower strength product than Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel, 0.3%/2.5%. In this study, 217 subjects were treated with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel 0.3%/2.5%, 217 subjects with Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide, gel, 0.1%/2.5% and 69 subjects with the vehicle gel.
Treatment response was defined as the percent of subjects who were rated “clear” or “almost clear” at Week 12 with at least a two-grade improvement based on the Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA), and mean absolute change from baseline at Week 12 in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesion counts. An IGA score of ‘Clear’ corresponded to clear skin with no inflammatory or non-inflammatory lesions. An IGA score of “almost clear” corresponded to a few scattered comedones and a few small papules.
At baseline, 50% of subjects were graded as “moderate” (IGA Grade 3) and 50% were graded as “severe” (IGA Grade 4) on the IGA scale. Subjects had an average of 98 (range 51-226) total lesions of which the mean number of inflammatory lesions was 38 (range: 20-99) and the mean number of non-inflammatory lesions was 60 (range 30-149). Subjects ranged in age from 12 to 57 years, with 273 (54%) of subjects 12 to 17 years of age. Approximately equal number of males (48%) and females (52%) were enrolled.
The IGA success rate, mean reduction, and percent reduction in acne lesion counts from baseline after 12 weeks of treatment are presented in the following table.
| Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 0.3%/2.5% (N=217) | Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, 0.1%/2.5% (N=217) * | Vehicle Gel (N=69) |
|
| IGA: two-grade improvement and "clear" or "almost clear" | 33.7% | 27.3% | 11.0% |
| Inflammatory lesions: mean absolute (percent) reduction | 27.8 (68.7%) | 26.5 (69.3%) | 13.2 (39.2%) |
| Non-inflammatory lesions: mean absolute (percent) reduction | 40.5 (68.3%) | 40.0 (68.0%) | 19.7 (37.4%) |
* This study was not designed or powered to compare the efficacy of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel to the lower strength Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel, 0.1%/2.5%, nor to compare the lower strength adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, 0.1%/2.5% to the vehicle control.
In subjects graded as “severe” (IGA Grade 4), efficacy was observed in the Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide group.
