  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Hematological Effects

    Methemoglobinemia

    Cases of methemoglobinemia, with resultant hospitalization, have been reported postmarketing in association with twice daily dapsone gel, 5%, treatment. Patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency or congenital or idiopathic methemoglobinemia are more susceptible to drug-induced methemoglobinemia. Avoid use of dapsone gel, 7.5% in those patients with congenital or idiopathic methemoglobinemia.

    Signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia may be delayed some hours after exposure. Initial signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia are characterized by a slate grey cyanosis seen in e.g., buccal mucous membranes, lips, and nail beds. Advise patients to discontinue dapsone gel, 7.5% and seek immediate medical attention in the event of cyanosis.

    Dapsone can cause elevated methemoglobin levels particularly in conjunction with methemoglobin-inducing agents [see Drug Interactions (7.4)].

    Hemolysis

    Oral dapsone treatment has produced dose-related hemolysis and hemolytic anemia. Individuals with glucose-6 -phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are more prone to hemolysis with the use of certain drugs. G6PD deficiency is most prevalent in populations of African, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean ancestry.

    In clinical trials, there was no evidence of clinically relevant hemolysis or hemolytic anemia in subjects treated with topical dapsone. Some subjects with G6PD deficiency using dapsone gel, 5%, twice daily developed laboratory changes suggestive of hemolysis [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].

    Discontinue dapsone gel, 7.5%, if signs and symptoms suggestive of hemolytic anemia occur. Avoid use of dapsone gel, 7.5% in patients who are taking oral dapsone or antimalarial medications because of the potential for hemolytic reactions. Combination of dapsone gel, 7.5%, with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) may increase the likelihood of hemolysis in patients with G6PD deficiency [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

    5.2 Peripheral Neuropathy

    Peripheral neuropathy (motor loss and muscle weakness) has been reported with oral dapsone treatment. No events of peripheral neuropathy were observed in clinical trials with topical dapsone treatment.

    5.3 Skin Reactions

    Skin reactions (toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema multiforme, morbilliform and scarlatiniform reactions, bullous and exfoliative dermatitis, erythema nodosum, and urticaria) have been reported with oral dapsone treatment. These types of skin reactions were not observed in clinical trials with topical dapsone treatment.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    6.1 Clinical Studies 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 practice.

    A total of 2,161 subjects were treated with dapsone gel, 7.5%, for 12 weeks in 2 controlled clinical trials. The population ranged in age from 12 years to 63 years, was 56% female, and 58% Caucasian. Adverse drug reactions that were reported in at least 0.9% of subjects treated with dapsone gel, 7.5% appear in Table 1 below.

    		 11 (0.5%)

    6.2 Experience with Oral Use of Dapsone

    Although not observed in the clinical trials with topical dapsone, serious adverse reactions have been reported with oral use of dapsone, including agranulocytosis, hemolytic anemia, peripheral neuropathy (motor loss and muscle weakness), and skin reactions (toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema multiforme, morbilliform and scarlatiniform reactions, bullous and exfoliative dermatitis, erythema nodosum, and urticaria).

    6.3 Postmarketing Experience

    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.

    The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of topical dapsone: methemoglobinemia, rash (including erythematous rash, application site rash) and swelling of face (including lip swelling, eye swelling).

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    No formal drug-drug interaction studies were conducted with dapsone gel, 7.5%.

    7.1 Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole

    A drug-drug interaction study evaluated the effect of the use of dapsone gel, 5% in combination with double strength (160 mg/800 mg) trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX). During co-administration, systemic levels of TMP and SMX were essentially unchanged, however, levels of dapsone and its metabolites increased in the presence of TMP/SMX. The systemic exposure from dapsone gel, 7.5% is expected to be about 1% of that from the 100 mg oral dose, even when co-administered with TMP/SMX.

    7.2 Topical Benzoyl Peroxide

    Topical application of dapsone gel followed by benzoyl peroxide in patients with acne vulgaris may result in a temporary local yellow or orange discoloration of the skin and facial hair.

    7.3 Drug Interactions with Oral Dapsone

    Certain concomitant medications (such as rifampin, anticonvulsants, St. John's wort) may increase the formation of dapsone hydroxylamine, a metabolite of dapsone associated with hemolysis. With oral dapsone treatment, folic acid antagonists such as pyrimethamine have been noted to possibly increase the likelihood of hematologic reactions.

    7.4 Concomitant Use with Drugs that Induce Methemoglobinemia

    Concomitant use of dapsone gel, 7.5% with drugs that induce methemoglobinemia such as sulfonamides, acetaminophen, acetanilide, aniline dyes, benzocaine, chloroquine, dapsone, naphthalene, nitrates and nitrites, nitrofurantoin, nitroglycerin, nitroprusside, pamaquine, para‐aminosalicylic acid, phenacetin, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primaquine, and quinine may increase the risk for developing methemoglobinemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    There are no available data on dapsone gel, 7.5%, use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for adverse developmental outcomes. The systemic absorption of dapsone in humans following topical application is low relative to oral dapsone administration [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. In animal reproduction studies, oral doses of dapsone administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis that resulted in systemic exposures more than 400 times the systemic exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of dapsone gel, 7.5%, resulted in embryocidal effects. When orally administered to rats from the onset of organogenesis through the end of lactation at systemic exposures approximately 500 times the exposure at the MRHD, dapsone resulted in increased stillbirths and decreased pup weight [see Data].

    The estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

    Data

    Animal Data

    Dapsone has been shown to have an embryocidal effect in rats and rabbits when administered orally daily to females during organogenesis at dosages of 75 mg/kg/day and 150 mg/kg/day, respectively. These dosages resulted in systemic exposures that represented approximately 1,407 times [rats] and 425 times [rabbits] the systemic exposure observed in human females as a result of use of the MRHD of dapsone gel, 7.5%, based on AUC comparisons. These effects were probably secondary to maternal toxicity.

    Dapsone was assessed for effects on perinatal/postnatal pup development and postnatal maternal behavior and function in a study in which dapsone was orally administered to female rats daily beginning on the seventh day of gestation and continuing until the twenty-seventh day postpartum. Maternal toxicity (decreased body weight and food consumption) and developmental effects (increase in stillborn pups and decreased pup weight) were seen at a dapsone dose of 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 563 times the systemic exposure that is associated with the MRHD of dapsone gel, 7.5%, based on AUC comparisons). No effects were observed on the viability, physical development, behavior, learning ability, or reproductive function of surviving pups.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    There is no information regarding the presence of topical dapsone in breastmilk, the effects on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. Orally administered dapsone appears in human milk and could result in hemolytic anemia and hyperbilirubinemia especially in infants with G6PD deficiency. Systemic absorption of dapsone following topical application is low relative to oral dapsone administration.

    The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for dapsone gel, 7.5% and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from dapsone gel, 7.5% or from the underlying maternal condition.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and effectiveness of dapsone gel, 7.5% for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris have been established in patients 9 years of age and older. Use of dapsone gel, 7.5% in patients 9 years to 11 years of age for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials in 1,066 subjects 12 years of age and older and with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric subjects 9 years to 11 years of age from an open label study of 100 subjects with acne  [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

    The safety profile for dapsone gel, 7.5% in clinical trials was similar to the vehicle control group.

    Safety and effectiveness of dapsone gel, 7.5%, have not been established in pediatric patients below the age of 9 years.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Clinical trials of dapsone gel, 7.5% did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

    8.6 Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency

    Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency may be more prone to methemoglobinemia and hemolysis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

    Dapsone gel, 5% and vehicle were evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over design clinical study of 64 subjects with G6PD deficiency and acne vulgaris. Subjects were Black (88%), Asian (6%), Hispanic (2%) or of other racial origin (5%). Blood samples were taken at Baseline, Week 2, and Week 12 during both vehicle and dapsone gel, 5% treatment periods. Some of these subjects developed laboratory changes suggestive of hemolysis, but there was no evidence of clinically significant hemolytic anemia in this study [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    The mechanism of action of dapsone gel in treating acne vulgaris is not known.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    In a pharmacokinetic study, male and female subjects 16 years of age or older with acne vulgaris (N=19) applied 2 grams of dapsone gel, 7.5% to the face, upper chest, upper back and shoulders once daily for 28 days. Steady state for dapsone was reached within 7 days of dosing. On Day 28, the mean dapsone maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours post dose (AUC0-24h) were 13.0 ± 6.8 ng/mL and 282 ± 146 ng∙h/mL, respectively. The systemic exposure from dapsone gel, 7.5% is expected to be about 1% of that from a 100 mg oral dose.

    Long-term safety studies were not conducted with dapsone gel, 7.5%, however, in a long-term clinical study of dapsone gel, 5% treatment (twice daily), periodic blood samples were collected up to 12 months to determine systemic exposure of dapsone and its metabolites in approximately 500 subjects. Based on the measurable dapsone concentrations from 408 subjects (M=192, F=216), obtained at Month 3, neither gender nor race appeared to affect the pharmacokinetics of dapsone. Similarly, dapsone exposures were approximately the same between the age groups of 12 years to 15 years (N=155) and those greater than or equal to 16 years (N=253). There was no evidence of increasing systemic exposure to dapsone over the study year in these subjects.

    In an open label safety and pharmacokinetic study in pediatric subjects 9 years to 11 years of age with acne vulgaris, a subset of subjects (N = 16) received once daily topical application of approximately 2 grams of dapsone gel, 7.5%, to the entire face, shoulders, upper chest and upper back for 8 days. On Day 8, the systemic concentrations were at or near steady state and the mean ± SD systemic concentration of dapsone at 10 hours post dose was 20 ± 12.5 ng/mL.

    12.4 Microbiology

    In Vivo Activity: No microbiology or immunology studies were conducted during dapsone gel, 7.5% clinical studies.

    Drug Resistance: No dapsone resistance studies were conducted during dapsone gel clinical studies therefore there are no data available as to whether dapsone treatment may have resulted in decreased susceptibility of Propionibacterium acnes, an organism associated with acne, or to other antimicrobials that may be used to treat acne. Therapeutic resistance to dapsone has been reported for Mycobacterium leprae, when patients have been treated with oral dapsone.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Dapsone was not carcinogenic to rats when orally administered to females for 92 weeks or males for 100 weeks at dose levels up to 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 340 times the systemic exposure observed in humans as a result of use of the MRHD of dapsone gel, 7.5%, based on AUC comparisons).

    No evidence of potential to induce carcinogenicity was observed in a dermal study in which dapsone gel was topically applied to Tg.AC transgenic mice for approximately 26 weeks. Dapsone concentrations of 3%, 5%, and 10% were evaluated; 3% material was judged to be the maximum tolerated dosage.

    Dapsone was negative in a bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), and was negative in a micronucleus assay conducted in mice. Dapsone was positive (clastogenic) in a chromosome aberration assay conducted with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.

    The effects of dapsone on fertility and general reproductive performance were assessed in male and female rats following oral dosing. Dapsone reduced sperm motility at dosages of 3 mg/kg/day or greater (approximately 22 times the systemic exposure that is associated with the MRHD of dapsone gel, 7.5%, based on AUC comparisons) when administered daily beginning 63 days prior to mating and continuing through the mating period. The mean numbers of embryo implantations and viable embryos were significantly reduced in untreated females mated with males that had been dosed at 12 mg/kg/day or greater (approximately 187 times the systemic exposure that is associated with the MRHD of dapsone gel, 7.5%, based on AUC comparisons), presumably due to reduced numbers or effectiveness of sperm, indicating impairment of fertility. When administered to female rats at a dosage of 75 mg/kg/day (approximately 1,407 times the systemic exposure that is associated with the MRHD of dapsone gel, 7.5%, based on AUC comparisons) for 15 days prior to mating and for 17 days thereafter, dapsone reduced the mean number of implantations, increased the mean early resorption rate, and reduced the mean litter size. These effects probably were secondary to maternal toxicity.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    The safety and efficacy of once daily use of dapsone gel, 7.5%, was assessed in two 12- week multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials. Efficacy was assessed in a total of 4,340 subjects 12 years of age and older. The majority of the subjects had moderate acne vulgaris, 20 to 50 inflammatory and 30 to 100 non-inflammatory lesions at baseline, and were randomized to receive either dapsone gel, 7.5% or vehicle.

    Treatment response was defined at Week 12 as the proportion of subjects who were rated "none" or "minimal" with at least a two-grade improvement from baseline on the Global Acne Assessment Score (GAAS), and mean absolute change from baseline in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesion counts. A GAAS score of "none" corresponded to no evidence of facial acne vulgaris. A GAAS score of "minimal" corresponded to a few non-inflammatory lesions (comedones) being present and to a few inflammatory lesions (papules/pustules) that may be present.

    The GAAS success rate, mean reduction, and percent reduction in acne lesion counts from baseline after 12 weeks of treatment are presented in the following table.
