  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    1.1 Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis

    Ferric citrate tablets are indicated for the control of serum phosphorus levels in adult patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis.

    1.2 Iron Deficiency Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis

    Ferric citrate tablets are indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis.

  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    2.1 Dosage for Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis

    The recommended starting dose is 2 tablets, swallowed whole, 3 times per day with meals. Ferric citrate tablets must not be chewed or crushed because it may cause discoloration of mouth and teeth. Monitor serum phosphorus levels and titrate the ferric citrate tablets dose in decrements or increments of 1 to 2 tablets per day as needed to maintain serum phosphorus at target levels, up to a maximum dose of 12 tablets daily. Dose can be titrated at 1-week or longer intervals.

    In a clinical trial, patients required an average of 8 to 9 tablets a day to control serum phosphorus levels.

    2.2 Dosage for Iron Deficiency Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis

    The recommended starting dose is 1 tablet, swallowed whole, 3 times per day with meals. Ferric citrate tablets must not be chewed or crushed because it may cause discoloration of mouth and teeth. Titrate the dose of ferric citrate tablets as needed to achieve and maintain hemoglobin at target levels, up to a maximum dose of 12 tablets daily.

    In a clinical trial in patients with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis (CKD-NDD), patients required an average of 5 tablets per day to increase hemoglobin levels.

  • 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

    Tablets: Ferric Citrate Tablets 210 mg ferric iron, equivalent to 1 g ferric citrate, film-coated, peach-colored, and oval-shaped tablet debossed with “KX52.”

  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Ferric citrate tablets are contraindicated in patients with iron overload syndromes (e.g., hemochromatosis) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Iron Overload

    Iron absorption from ferric citrate tablets may lead to excessive elevations in iron stores. Increases in serum ferritin and transferrin saturation (TSAT) levels were observed in clinical trials. In a 56-week safety and efficacy trial evaluating the control of serum phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis in which concomitant use of intravenous iron was permitted, 55 (19%) of patients treated with ferric citrate tablets had a ferritin level >1500 ng/mL as compared with 13 (9%) of patients treated with active control.

    Assess iron parameters (e.g., serum ferritin and TSAT) prior to initiating ferric citrate tablets and monitor iron parameters while on therapy [see Contraindications (4), Overdosage (10) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. Patients receiving intravenous iron may require a reduction in dose or discontinuation of intravenous iron therapy.

    5.2 Risk of Overdosage in Children Due to Accidental Ingestion

    Accidental ingestion and resulting overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6 years of age [see Overdosage (10)]. Advise patients of the risks to children and to keep ferric citrate tablets out of the reach of children.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    6.1 Clinical Trials 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 adverse reaction rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

    Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis

    A total of 289 patients were treated with ferric citrate tablets and 149 patients were treated with active control (sevelamer carbonate and/or calcium acetate) during the 52-week, randomized, open-label, active control phase of a trial in patients on dialysis. A total of 322 patients were treated with ferric citrate tablets for up to 28 days in three short-term trials. Across these trials, 557 unique patients were treated with ferric citrate tablets; dosage regimens in these trials ranged from 210 mg to 2,520 mg of ferric iron per day, equivalent to 1 to 12 tablets of ferric citrate.

    Adverse reactions reported in more than 5% of patients treated with ferric citrate tablets in these trials included diarrhea (21%), discolored feces (19%), nausea (11%), constipation (8%), vomiting (7%), and cough (6%).

    During the 52-week, active-control period, 61 patients (21%) on ferric citrate tablets discontinued study drug because of an adverse reaction, as compared to 21 patients (14%) in the active control arm. Patients who were previously intolerant to any of the active control treatments (calcium acetate and sevelamer carbonate) were not eligible to enroll in the study. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions were the most common reason for discontinuing ferric citrate tablets (14%).

    Iron Deficiency Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis

    Across two trials, 190 patients with CKD-NDD were treated with ferric citrate tablets. This included a study of 117 patients treated with ferric citrate tablets and 116 patients treated with placebo in a 16-week, randomized, double-blind period and a study of 75 patients treated with ferric citrate tablets and 73 treated with placebo in a 12-week randomized double-blind period. Dosage regimens in these trials ranged from 210 mg to 2,520 mg of ferric iron per day, equivalent to 1 to 12 tablets of ferric citrate.

    Adverse reactions reported in at least 5% of patients treated with ferric citrate tablets in these trials are listed in Table 1.

    Oral medications not listed in Table 2

    There are no empirical data on avoiding drug interactions between ferric citrate tablets and most concomitant oral drugs. For oral medications where a reduction in the bioavailability of that medication would have a clinically significant effect on its safety or efficacy, consider separation of the timing of the administration of the two drugs. The duration of separation depends upon the absorption characteristics of the medication concomitantly administered, such as the time to reach peak systemic levels and whether the drug is an immediate release or an extended release product. Consider monitoring clinical responses or blood levels of concomitant medications that have a narrow therapeutic range.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    There are no available data on ferric citrate tablet use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted using ferric citrate tablets. Skeletal and encephalic malformation was observed in neonatal mice when ferric gluconate was administered intraperitoneally to gravid dams on gestation days 7-9. However, oral administration of other ferric or ferrous compounds to gravid CD1-mice and Wistar-rats caused no fetal malformation.

    An overdose of iron in pregnant women may carry a risk for spontaneous abortion, gestational diabetes and fetal malformation.

    The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

    Clinical Considerations

    The effect of ferric citrate tablets on the absorption of vitamins and other nutrients has not been studied in pregnant women. Requirements for vitamins and other nutrients are increased in pregnancy.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    There are no human data regarding the effect of ferric citrate in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Data from rat studies have shown the transfer of iron into milk by divalent metal transporter-1 (DMT-1) and ferroportin-1 (FPN-1). Hence, there is a possibility of infant exposure when ferric citrate tablets are administered to a nursing woman. The development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for ferric citrate tablets and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from ferric citrate tablets or from the underlying maternal condition.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and efficacy of ferric citrate tablets have not been established in pediatric patients.

    Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data

    In animal studies, greater gastrointestinal toxicity was observed when ferric citrate was administered by gavage as compared to administration with solid food. Because ferric citrate tablets are recommended to be taken with meals and patients under 6 months of age are unlikely to be eating solid food, they may be at greater risk of gastrointestinal toxicity.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Clinical studies of ferric citrate tablets included 292 subjects aged 65 years and older (104 subjects aged 75 years and older). Overall, the clinical study experience has not identified any obvious differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients in the tolerability or efficacy of ferric citrate tablets.

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    No data are available regarding overdose of ferric citrate tablets in patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, the maximum dose studied was 2,520 mg ferric iron (12 tablets of ferric citrate) per day. Iron absorption from ferric citrate tablets may lead to excessive elevations in iron stores, especially when concomitant intravenous iron is used [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

    In clinical trials, one case of elevated iron in the liver as confirmed by biopsy was reported in a patient on dialysis administered intravenous iron and ferric citrate tablets.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    Ferric citrate, a phosphate binder and iron replacement product, is known chemically as iron (+3), x (1, 2, 3-propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-), y (H2O).

    Chemical Formula

    Ferric citrate 210 mg ferric iron tablets for oral administration, equivalent to 1 g ferric citrate, are film-coated, peach-colored, and oval-shaped tablets debossed with “KX52.” The inactive ingredients are pregelatinized starch and calcium stearate. In addition, the film-coating contains the following inactive ingredients: hypromellose, titanium dioxide, triacetin, and FD&C Yellow #6/Sunset Yellow FCF Aluminum Lake, FD&C Red #40/Allura Red AC Aluminum Lake, and FD&C Blue #2/Indigo Carmine Aluminum Lake.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis

    Ferric iron binds dietary phosphate in the GI tract and precipitates as ferric phosphate. This compound is insoluble and is excreted in the stool. By binding phosphate in the GI tract and decreasing absorption, ferric citrate lowers the phosphate concentration in the serum.

    Iron Deficiency Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis

    Ferric iron is reduced from the ferric to the ferrous form by ferric reductase in the GI tract. After transport through the enterocytes into the blood, oxidized ferric iron circulates bound to the plasma protein transferrin, and can be incorporated into hemoglobin.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis

    Ferric citrate tablets reduce serum phosphorus levels and has also been shown to increase serum iron parameters, including ferritin, iron and TSAT. In dialysis patients treated with ferric citrate tablets for hyperphosphatemia in a 52-week study in which intravenous iron could also be administered, mean (SD) ferritin levels rose from 593 (293) ng/mL to 895 (482) ng/mL, mean (SD) TSAT levels rose from 31% (11) to 39% (17) and mean (SD) iron levels rose from 73 (29) mcg/dL to 88 (42) mcg/dL. In contrast, in patients treated with active control, these parameters remained relatively constant [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions 5.1)].

    Iron Deficiency Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis

    Ferric citrate tablets may increase hemoglobin levels and has also been shown to reduce serum phosphorus levels. In chronic kidney disease patients not on dialysis treated with ferric citrate tablets for iron deficiency anemia in a 16-week placebo-controlled study, mean (SD) phosphorus levels decreased from 4.23 (0.91) mg/dL at baseline to 3.72 (0.60) mg/dL. In comparison, in patients treated with placebo control, mean (SD) phosphorus levels decreased from 4.12 (0.68) mg/dL at baseline to 3.87 (0.68) mg/dL.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Absorption and Distribution

    Formal pharmacokinetic studies have not been performed with ferric citrate tablets. Examination of serum iron parameters has shown that there is systemic absorption of iron from ferric citrate tablets [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].

    Drug Interaction Studies

    In vitro

    Of the drugs screened for an interaction with ferric citrate in vitro, only doxycycline showed the potential for interaction with at least 70% decrease in its concentration. This interaction can be avoided by spacing the administration of doxycycline and ferric citrate [see Drug Interactions (7)].

    In vivo

    Six drug interaction studies (N=26-60/study) were conducted to establish the effects of ferric citrate tablets (administered as 3 x 2 g/day with meals) on the disposition of concomitantly orally administered clopidogrel, ciprofloxacin, digoxin, diltiazem, glimepiride and losartan in healthy subjects. With the exception of ciprofloxacin, ferric citrate tablets did not alter the systemic exposure of the tested drugs, as measured by the area under the curve (AUC) and Cmax of the tested drugs when either co-administered with ferric citrate tablets or given 2 hours later. Ferric citrate tablets decreased the relative bioavailability of concomitantly administered ciprofloxacin by approximately 45%. However, there was no interaction when ferric citrate tablets and ciprofloxacin were taken 2 hours apart. Consequently, ciprofloxacin should be taken at least 2 hours before or after ferric citrate tablets are dosed [see Drug Interactions (7)].

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Data from carcinogenesis studies have shown that ferric citrate is not carcinogenic in mice and rats when administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Ferric citrate was neither mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) nor clastogenic in the chromosomal aberration test in Chinese hamster fibroblasts.

    The potential for ferric citrate to impair reproductive performance or to cause fetal malformation has not been evaluated.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    14.1 Hyperphosphatemia in Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis

    The ability of ferric citrate tablets to lower serum phosphorus in patients with CKD on dialysis was demonstrated in randomized clinical trials: one 56-week, safety and efficacy trial, consisting of a 52-week active-controlled phase and a 4-week, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period, and one 4-week open-label trial of different fixed doses of ferric citrate tablets. Both trials excluded subjects who had an absolute requirement for aluminum containing drugs with meals.

    Study KRX-0502-304 (NCT 01191255)

    Study KRX-0502-304 was a long-term, randomized, controlled, safety and efficacy trial. After the 2-week washout period during which phosphate binders were held, patients with a mean serum phosphorus of 7.5 mg/dL during washout were randomized 2:1 to ferric citrate tablets (N=292) or active control (calcium acetate and/or sevelamer carbonate; N=149). The majority (>96%) of subjects were on hemodialysis. The starting dose of ferric citrate tablets was 6 tablets/day, divided with meals. The starting dose of active control was the patient’s dose prior to the washout period. The dose of phosphate binder was increased or decreased as needed to maintain serum phosphorus levels between 3.5 and 5.5 mg/dL, to a maximum of 12 tablets/day.

    As shown in the figure below, serum phosphorus levels declined following initiation of therapy. The phosphorus lowering effect was maintained over 52 weeks of treatment.

    Figure 1: Serum Phosphorus Control over 52 Weeks

    Figure 1: Serum Phosphorus Control over 52 Weeks

    Following completion of the 52-week active-controlled phase, ferric citrate tablets-treated patients were eligible to enter a 4-week placebo-controlled randomized withdrawal phase, in which patients were re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive ferric citrate tablets (N=96) or placebo (N=96). During the placebo-controlled period, the serum phosphorus concentration rose by 2.2 mg/dL on placebo relative to patients who remained on ferric citrate tablets.

    Study KRX-0502-305 (NCT 01074125)

    Following a 1- to 2-week washout from all phosphate-binding agents, 154 patients with hyperphosphatemia (mean serum phosphorus of 7.5 mg/dL) and CKD on dialysis were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1, 6, or 8 tablets/day of ferric citrate for 4 weeks. Ferric citrate tablets were administered with meals; subjects receiving 1 tablet/day were instructed to take it with their largest meal of the day, and subjects on 6 or 8 tablets/day took divided doses in any distribution with meals. Dose-dependent decreases in serum phosphorus were observed by Day 7 and remained relatively stable for the duration of treatment. The demonstrated reductions from baseline to Week 4 in mean serum phosphorus were significantly greater with 6 and 8 tablets/day than with 1 tablet/day (p<0.0001). Mean reduction in serum phosphorus at Week 4 was 0.1 mg/dL with 1 tablet/day, 1.9 mg/dL with 6 tablets/day, and 2.1 mg/dL with 8 tablets/day.

    14.2 Iron Deficiency Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis

    Study KRX-0502-306 (NCT 02268994)

    The efficacy of ferric citrate tablets for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients with CKD not on dialysis was demonstrated in a 24-week study consisting of a 16-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, efficacy period followed by an 8-week open-label safety extension period in which all patients remaining in the study, including the placebo group, received ferric citrate tablets. Patients with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2, who were intolerant of or have had an inadequate therapeutic response to oral iron supplements, with Hgb ≥9.0 g/dL and ≤11.5 g/dL, serum ferritin ≤200 ng/mL and TSAT ≤25% were enrolled. Patients were randomized to treatment with either ferric citrate tablets (n=117) or placebo (n=117). Dosing with ferric citrate tablets or placebo was initiated at 3 tablets/day with meals. Dose titration could occur at Weeks 4, 8 and 12 during Randomized Period, and at Weeks 18 and 20 during Safety Extension Period based on Hgb response. Use of oral or intravenous iron, erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) was not permitted at any time during the study.

    The mean age of the patients was 65 years (range 26 to 93); 63% were female, 69% Caucasian, 30% were African American and <2% were other races.

    The main efficacy outcome measure was the proportion of subjects achieving an increase in Hgb of ≥1.0 g/dL at any time point between baseline and the end of the 16-week Randomized Period.
