NUZOLVENCE

NUZOLVENCE is indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea due to Neisseria gonorrhoeae in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older, weighing at least 35 kg [see Clinical Studies (14)].

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of NUZOLVENCE and other antibacterial drugs, NUZOLVENCE should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible 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.

Obtain a pregnancy test in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with NUZOLVENCE [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

NUZOLVENCE must be mixed with water before administering. Do not mix NUZOLVENCE with other liquids or sprinkle on food. Do not take NUZOLVENCE in the dry form. Administer the entire dose within 15 minutes of mixing. If the dose is not administered within 15 minutes of mixing, a new dose of NUZOLVENCE must be prepared [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

The recommended dose of NUZOLVENCE in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older weighing at least 35 kg is 3 grams (g) (one packet) administered as a single dose orally.

See Table 1 for instructions on whether to administer NUZOLVENCE with or without food based on body weight [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

• NUZOLVENCE must be mixed with water before administering.
• Do not mix NUZOLVENCE with other liquids or sprinkle on food.
• Accurately measure 60 mL of water into the provided mixing container.
• Add the entire contents of one unit-dose packet of NUZOLVENCE to the mixing container and immediately secure the provided lid onto the mixing container. Shake vigorously for at least 60 seconds. Continue to shake until all granules are suspended and there is a uniform suspension.
• Once NUZOLVENCE is mixed to achieve a uniform suspension, administer the entire contents of the mixing container immediately.
• To ensure the full dose of NUZOLVENCE is consumed, add an additional 60 mL of water to the same mixing container, shake, and administer the entire additional 60 mL of water.
• Administer the entire dose within 15 minutes of mixing. If the dose is not administered within 15 minutes of mixing, a new dose of NUZOLVENCE must be prepared.
• See the Instructions for Use for additional details on the preparation and administration of NUZOLVENCE for oral suspension.

Based on data from animal studies, NUZOLVENCE may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant female at clinically relevant doses. Reproductive and developmental toxicity studies at AUC exposures 1.6-fold (mice) and 8.5-fold (rats) the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of zoliflodacin administered to pregnant rodents during organogenesis resulted in fetal malformations (exencephaly) and increased embryo-fetal loss [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Advise pregnant females about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to NUZOLVENCE. Avoid use of NUZOLVENCE during pregnancy. Obtain a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with NUZOLVENCE in females of reproductive potential [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

Based on data from an animal toxicity study, the risk of early pregnancy loss may be increased in female partners of males treated with NUZOLVENCE. A reduced number of live embryos and increased number of embryonic losses were observed in untreated female rats mated with male rats administered zoliflodacin at exposures approximately 3.9-times the clinical exposure at the MRHD for 4 weeks.

Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception for at least 3 months after administration of NUZOLVENCE. [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

Based on findings from animal studies, NUZOLVENCE may cause testicular toxicity and impair male fertility. In repeat-dose toxicity studies, rats and dogs administered zoliflodacin for durations of 2 days to 4 weeks at AUC exposures 3- to 11-times the MRHD experienced minimal to moderate decreased spermatogenesis and testicular histopathological changes. In rats, loss of male rat fertility was no longer observed 4 weeks after the last dose; however, testicular histopathological changes in rats and dogs were only partially reversible after 2 to 3 months [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. An evaluation of spermatogenesis has not been conducted in humans.

Advise males that NUZOLVENCE may cause testicular toxicity and impair male fertility [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash and pruritus, have been reported in patients receiving NUZOLVENCE [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. NUZOLVENCE is contraindicated in patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to NUZOLVENCE [see Contraindications (4)]. Before therapy with NUZOLVENCE is instituted, carefully inquire about previous hypersensitivity reactions to NUZOLVENCE.

If an allergic reaction to NUZOLVENCE occurs, institute appropriate supportive measures.

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile.

C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDI. Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDI must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibacterial drug use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDI has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents.

If CDI is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibacterial drug use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial drug treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.

Prescribing NUZOLVENCE in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria [see Indications and Usage (1.2)].

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 782 patients received a 3 g dose of zoliflodacin across all phases of clinical trials.

The safety of NUZOLVENCE was evaluated in a phase 3, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multicenter, multinational trial (NCT03959527) (Trial 1). In total, 927 patients with suspected uncomplicated gonorrhea due to N. gonorrhoeae were randomized (2:1) and treated with either a single oral 3 g dose of NUZOLVENCE (N=619) or a combination of a single 500 mg intramuscular dose of ceftriaxone and a single 1 g oral dose of azithromycin (N=308) [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients were eligible for enrollment if they were ≥12 years old and ≥35 kg. The majority (98%) of patients were adults (≥18 years); 14 patients were 15 to 18 years old: 12/619 (1.9%) in the NUZOLVENCE arm and 2/308 (0.6%) in the ceftriaxone and azithromycin arm. South Africa had the highest proportion of enrolled patients (46%), followed by Thailand (29%), the United States (17%), and the European Union (8%). The majority of patients treated with NUZOLVENCE were male (88%). Patients identified as Black or African American (56%), Asian (31%), White (11%), American Indian or Alaska Native (1%), or Other (1%). A total of 3% of patients treated with NUZOLVENCE identified as Hispanic or Latino and 22% were living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

Serious Adverse Reactions and Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation:

There were no serious adverse reactions or adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation or death.

Common Adverse Reactions:

Table 2 lists adverse reactions occurring in ≥2% of patients receiving NUZOLVENCE in Trial 1.

Headache: In Trial 1, headache was reported in 61/619 (10%) of patients receiving NUZOLVENCE; headache severity was mild in 8% of patients and moderate in 2%.

Laboratory Abnormalities

Laboratory abnormalities that occurred at a frequency of 2% or greater in Trial 1 are provided in Table 3.

Neutropenia: In Trial 1, 41/609 (7%) and 30/609 (5%) patients developed neutropenia from 4 to 8 days and from 27 to 33 days following NUZOLVENCE administration, respectively. Of these 71 patients, 25% were living with HIV and 8% had unknown HIV status. No patients required treatment for neutropenia.

Leukopenia: In Trial 1, 54/609 (9%) of patients developed leukopenia following NUZOLVENCE administration; 16% of these patients were living with HIV and 11% had unknown HIV status. No patients required treatment for leukopenia.

Other Adverse Reactions Associated with NUZOLVENCE in Trial 1

Adverse reactions occurring in less than 2% of patients receiving NUZOLVENCE in Trial 1 (Safety Population), are presented below:

Blood and lymphatic system disorders: Thrombocytopenia, monocyte count decreased, hemoglobin decreased

Cardiac disorders: Palpitations

Gastrointestinal disorders: Vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, abdominal distension, flatulence

Vascular disorders: Hot flush

Moderate and Strong CYP3A4 Inducers

Concomitant use of moderate or strong inducers of CYP3A4 with NUZOLVENCE is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4)]. Zoliflodacin is a CYP3A4 substrate. Moderate and strong CYP3A4 inducers are predicted to result in decreased plasma concentrations of zoliflodacin and may reduce NUZOLVENCE efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Risk Summary

Based on findings from animal studies, NUZOLVENCE may cause fetal malformations or increased embryo-fetal loss when administered to a pregnant female. In pregnant mice, repeat oral administration of zoliflodacin during organogenesis was associated with fetal malformations (exencephaly) and increased embryo-fetal loss at AUC exposures 1.6-fold the MRHD and decreased fetal weights at 2.9-fold the MRHD. In pregnant rats, zoliflodacin administration resulting in AUC exposures 8.5-fold the MRHD increased embryo-fetal loss, and exposures 3.2-fold the MRHD decreased fetal weights. There was no effect on embryo-fetal survival at exposures 5.5-fold the MRHD to zoliflodacin in pregnant rats. When zoliflodacin was administered to rats throughout pregnancy, parturition, and lactation, no effects on pup survival, birth weight, or growth were observed at maternal exposures up to 2.4-fold the MRHD (see Data).

There are no human data on NUZOLVENCE use in pregnancy to evaluate the drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.

Advise pregnant females about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to NUZOLVENCE [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.3)].

A postmarketing descriptive pregnancy safety study is available for NUZOLVENCE. If exposure occurs during pregnancy, pregnant females or their healthcare providers should report the pregnancy to Entasis Therapeutics at 1-800-651-3861.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss or other adverse outcomes. 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

In pregnant mice, repeat oral administration of zoliflodacin at 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg/day during organogenesis (gestation days [GD] 5-16) was associated with fetal exencephaly at and above doses of 500 mg/kg/day (AUC exposures equal to or greater than 1.6-fold the MRHD). Increased implant losses occurred at 500 mg/kg/day, and decreased fetal weights occurred at 1000 mg/kg/day (AUC exposures 2.9-fold the MRHD). No adverse embryo-fetal effects were observed at 250 mg/kg/day (AUC exposure 0.6-fold the MRHD).

In female rats, repeat oral administration of zoliflodacin at 200, 500, or 1000 mg/kg/day from at least 2 weeks prior to mating through organogenesis (GD 16), decreased pregnancy rates and reduced embryo-fetal survival occurred at 1000 mg/kg/day (AUC exposures 8.5-fold the MRHD), without fetal malformations. No effect on embryo-fetal survival occurred at 500 mg/kg/day (AUC exposures 5.5-fold the MRHD). Across all dose levels, decreased fetal weights and delayed skeletal ossification were observed.

In pregnant rats, repeat oral administration of zoliflodacin from GD 6 through lactation Day 20 at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (maternal AUC exposures 2.4-fold the MRHD at the end of gestation), resulted in no maternal toxicity or adverse effects on prenatal or postnatal offspring survival or growth. In offspring evaluated at 8-9 weeks, increased motor activity occurred in males and females at 200 mg/kg/day and in females at 100 mg/kg/day (maternal AUC exposures 1.4-fold MRHD at the end of gestation). At both dose levels, maternal AUC exposures were below clinical exposures at the end of lactation. Results of learning and memory assessments were indeterminate due to limitations of the study design.

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of zoliflodacin in either human or animal milk, effects on the breastfed infant, or effects on milk production. If NUZOLVENCE is present in breast milk, intestinal flora alteration in the breastfed infant could occur. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for NUZOLVENCE and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from NUZOLVENCE or from the underlying maternal condition.

Based on animal studies, NUZOLVENCE may cause fetal malformations when administered to a pregnant female at clinically relevant doses. Additionally, based on data from an animal study, the risk of early pregnancy loss may be increased in partners of males treated with NUZOLVENCE [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

Pregnancy Testing

Obtain a pregnancy test in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with NUZOLVENCE [see Dosage and Administration (2.1), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), and Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Contraception

Males

Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception for at least 3 months after their single-dose treatment of NUZOLVENCE [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

Infertility

Males

Based on data from repeat-dose animal toxicity and fertility studies, NUZOLVENCE may cause testicular toxicity and impair male fertility [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

The safety and effectiveness of NUZOLVENCE for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea have been established in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older, weighing at least 35 kg [see Indications and Usage (1.1]. Use of NUZOLVENCE in this pediatric population is supported by clinical, microbiological and safety data from an adequate and well-controlled trial (Trial 1) in adults and pediatric patients with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea and additional pharmacokinetic data in adult patients. In Trial 1, 12 patients aged 16 to <18 years, weighing 46 to 76.2 kg, received a single 3 g dose of NUZOLVENCE [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Clinical Studies (14)].

The safety and effectiveness of NUZOLVENCE in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age or weighing less than 35 kg have not been established.

Clinical studies of NUZOLVENCE did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently than younger patients.

NUZOLVENCE is an antibacterial drug [see Microbiology (12.4)].

The ratio of the unbound plasma zoliflodacin area under the concentration-time curve from time of dosing extrapolated to infinity to the zoliflodacin MIC (fAUC_0-inf/MIC) is the best predictor of efficacy based on in vitro models of infection.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

A thorough QTc study of single oral doses of zoliflodacin 2 g and 4 g (not approved doses of NUZOLVENCE) was conducted in 72 healthy subjects aged 18 to 45 years. A concentration-dependent increase in QTc interval was observed in the thorough QTc study. Based on the observed relationship, clinically significant QTc interval prolongation is not expected at the maximum recommended single dose of NUZOLVENCE.

Zoliflodacin, as single doses, generally displayed dose-proportional increases in exposure up to 800 mg (0.27 times the recommended dosage). Increases above 800 mg led to slightly less than dose-proportional increases in exposure up to 4 g (1.3 times the recommended dosage).

The pharmacokinetic properties of zoliflodacin in healthy subjects are displayed in Table 4.

The predicted zoliflodacin exposure parameters in adult patients with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea are presented in Table 5.

Effect of Food

Following administration of the 3 g dose of NUZOLVENCE with a moderate-to-high-fat meal, zoliflodacin C_max was increased by approximately 1.5-fold and the AUC_0-inf was increased by approximately 1.5- to 2-fold. With a high-fat, high-calorie meal (consisting of approximately 884 kcal, 55% fat, 29% carbohydrates, 16% protein), the fed vs. fasted ratios of adjusted geometric means (90% CI) AUC_0-inf and C_max were 2.01 (1.85, 2.18) and 1.52 (1.39-1.67), respectively. With a moderate-fat, moderate-calorie meal (consisting of approximately 462 kcal, [39% fat, 51% carbohydrates, and 10% protein), the fed vs. fasted ratios of adjusted geometric means (90%CI) AUC_0-inf and C_max were 1.53 (1.45, 1.61) and 1.49 (1.38, 1.61), respectively.

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of zoliflodacin were observed based on age (18 to 55 years old), sex, and race (White 61%, Black 28%, Asian 8%).

Body Weight

There is an inverse relationship between body weight and zoliflodacin exposure. Simulations were conducted under moderate-fat/moderate-calorie conditions similar to Trial 1 (e.g., meals with 400-500 calories, < 50% fat) to inform dosing conditions. Considering both the weight and food effects, patients weighing 35 kg to less than 50 kg should take NUZOLVENCE on an empty stomach and patients weighing 50 kg or more should take NUZOLVENCE with food [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. There are no clinical data in patients weighing less than 35 kg.

Pediatric Patients

There are no pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients. Using modeling and simulation, the recommended dosage with administration based on weight is expected to result in comparable plasma exposures of zoliflodacin in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older and weighing at least 35 kg as observed in healthy adults [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].

Drug Interaction Studies

Clinical Studies and Model Informed Approaches

In a clinical drug-drug interaction study in 18 healthy subjects, the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (and P-gp inhibitor) itraconazole, administered as a 400 mg loading dose followed by 200 mg once daily for 6 days, increased zoliflodacin systemic exposure (AUC_0-inf) by approximately 1.4-fold with minimal changes in peak concentrations (C_max) of zoliflodacin, when zoliflodacin was administered under fasted conditions. Co-administration with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is unlikely to translate to a clinically significant safety risk relative to NUZOLVENCE administered alone.

Co-administration of zoliflodacin with CYP3A4 inducers, rifampin and efavirenz, is predicted to reduce the geometric mean zoliflodacin exposure (AUC_0-inf) by approximately 56 and 41%, respectively [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.1)].

In Vitro Studies

Clearance of zoliflodacin via metabolism by CYP- and non-CYP-mediated pathways is the major clearance mechanism for zoliflodacin.

CYP phenotyping studies indicated that CYP-mediated metabolism of zoliflodacin is via CYP3A4 (68%), with lesser contributions from CYP1A2 (14%), CYP2C9 (10%), CYP2C8 (5%), and CYP2C19 (2.7%). Enzymes for the non-CYP metabolism have not been identified.

Zoliflodacin inhibited CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 at IC₅₀ values that were approximately 14- to 28-fold higher than the anticipated unbound therapeutic plasma concentrations (total concentrations 2.5 to 5-fold higher). Zoliflodacin was not an inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4 in inducible human hepatocyte-like HepaRG cells at clinically relevant concentrations.

Zoliflodacin is a substrate for P-gp and BCRP and possible substrate for OATP1B1/3.

Zoliflodacin is not an inhibitor for OCT2, MATE1, MATE2K at clinically relevant concentrations. Zoliflodacin is an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3.

Mechanism of Action

Zoliflodacin is a spiropyrimidinetrione inhibitor of the bacterial type II topoisomerases (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV), which are required for DNA synthesis. Zoliflodacin binds within the cleaved DNA–gyrase complex, blocking re-ligation, and interacts with conserved amino acids in the gyrase B subunit.

Resistance

Resistance to spiropyrimidinetriones is associated with mutations in the bacterial type II topoisomerases (DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV) and efflux pumps. Zoliflodacin primarily targets DNA gyrase B in N. gonorrhoeae. Additionally, zoliflodacin shows reduced in vitro activity due to the up-regulation of efflux pumps such as MtrCDE, MacAB, and NorM. Resistance to zoliflodacin due to spontaneous mutations occurs at mutation frequencies of <5.2 × 10^-9 to <1.7 × 10^-8 at 8 times the MIC.

Cross-resistance has not been identified with other classes of antimicrobials, including penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, macrolides, fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines.

Interaction with Other Antimicrobials

In vitro studies showed no antagonism between zoliflodacin and other antimicrobial drugs including ceftriaxone, cefixime, ciprofloxacin, spectinomycin, gentamicin, and tetracycline.

Antimicrobial Activity

Zoliflodacin has been shown to be active against the following microorganisms both in vitro and in clinical infections [see Indications and Usage (1)]:

Gram-negative bacteria

• Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Susceptibility Test Methods

For specific information regarding susceptibility test interpretive criteria, and associated test methods and quality control standards recognized by FDA for this drug, please see www.fda.gov/STIC.

Carcinogenesis

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with zoliflodacin.

Mutagenesis

Zoliflodacin was not genotoxic in the mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) and rat in vivo micronucleus assay. In the Ames bacterial reverse mutation assay, zoliflodacin was mutagenic in the TA102 strain, consistent with its pharmacologic action as a bacterial topoisomerase II inhibitor.

Impairment of Fertility

Male Fertility

In male rats, once daily oral administration of zoliflodacin for 4 weeks resulted in dose-related effects on fertility. At 1000 mg/kg/day (exposures 8-fold the MRHD based on AUC), males were completely infertile. At 500 mg/kg/day (exposures 4-fold the MRHD) fertility was reduced by 31%, with decreased pregnancy rates and increased pre- and post-implantation loss. After a 29-day recovery period, full recovery of fertility was observed; however, minimal to mild testicular tubular degeneration persisted after a 57-days recovery period. No zoliflodacin-related effects on fertility or testicular histopathology were observed at 200 mg/kg/day (exposures 2.4-fold the MRHD).

In a non-GLP study in rats, minimal exfoliation of germinal epithelial cells/immature sperm was observed in the testes at 1000 mg/kg/day and in the epididymides at 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day following 14 days of dosing (exposures greater than or equal to 2.8-fold the MRHD). Similar minimal epididymal findings occurred after 2-days of dosing at 1000 and 2000 mg/kg/day (exposures at and above 4-fold the MRHD).

After 4 weeks of daily zoliflodacin administration in rats, minimal to mild testicular degeneration and cellular debris in the epididymides were observed at or above 500 mg/kg/day (exposures 7.2-fold the MRHD). The microscopic findings, at a dose equivalent to exposures 10.7-fold the MRHD, were partially reversed after a 3-month recovery period. No adverse effects were reported at 200 mg/kg/day (exposures 3.3-fold the MRHD).

In dogs, 4 weeks of daily zoliflodacin administration produced mild to moderate testicular degeneration and moderate epididymides cellular debris at and above 200 mg/kg/day (exposures 7.5-fold the MRHD). No adverse effects were reported at 100 mg/kg/day (exposures 2.3-fold the MRHD). Findings were not present after a 3-month recovery period, although minimal to mild decreased spermatogenesis persisted in 2 of 3 dogs administered 500 mg/kg/day (exposures 8.1-fold the MRHD).

Female Fertility

In female rats, oral administration of zoliflodacin at 1000 mg/kg/day (exposures 12.7-fold the MRHD, extrapolated from nonpregnant rats) for 2 weeks prior to mating reduced pregnancy rates. No effects on pregnancy rates or embryo-fetal survival were observed at 500 mg/kg/day (7.9-fold the MRHD).
