Drug Details [pdf]

  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    LYVISPAH is indicated for the treatment of spasticity resulting from multiple sclerosis, particularly for the relief of flexor spasms and concomitant pain, clonus, and muscular rigidity.

    LYVISPAH may also be of some value in patients with spinal cord injuries and other spinal cord diseases.

    Limitations of Use

    LYVISPAH is not indicated in the treatment of skeletal muscle spasm resulting from rheumatic disorders.

  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    2.1 Recommended Dosage

    Initiate LYVISPAH with a low dosage, preferably in divided doses, administered orally. The following gradually increasing dosage regimen is suggested, but should be adjusted based on clinical response and tolerability:

    5 mg three times a day for three days
    10 mg three times a day for three days
    15 mg three times a day for three days
    20 mg three times a day for three days

    Additional increases may be necessary up to the maximum recommended dosage of 80 mg daily (20 mg four times a day). Multiple packets or multiple strengths can be used to achieve the prescribed dosage.

    2.2 Administration Instructions

    The entire contents of the packet should be emptied into the mouth. The granules will dissolve in the mouth or can be swallowed. LYVISPAH can be taken with liquids or soft foods if needed.

    Administration with Liquids or Soft Foods
    LYVISPAH can be administered orally as a mixture with liquids or soft foods, such as apple sauce, yogurt, or pudding. The contents of one packet can be emptied and mixed with up to 15 mL of liquid or soft food. The mixture should be administered no more than 2 hours after mixing. If multiple packets are to be administered, each packet must be mixed with a separate volume of liquid or soft food.

    dministration via Feeding Tube
    LYVISPAH can also be administered via enteral feeding tubes such as nasogastric (NG) at sizes 8 FR or higher, gastrostomy (G) at sizes 12 FR or higher, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) at sizes 14 FR or higher, and gastrojejunostomy (GJ) tubes at sizes 16 FR or higher.

    • Flush the feeding tube with up to 15 mL of water using a catheter tip syringe.
    • Open and empty the full contents of one packet of LYVISPAH in 15 mL of liquid, such as apple juice or milk, in a clean container. Mix the suspension to ensure all granules are wetted.
    • Draw up the suspension of granules into a dosing syringe immediately after mixing and administer the dose via the feeding tube. Administration should be no longer than two hours after mixing. If the syringe is allowed to stand for 15 minutes before administration, invert the syringe three times.
    • Refill the dosing syringe with 15 mL of water and flush the feeding tube.
    • If multiple packets are to be administered, each packet must be mixed with a separate volume of liquid.

    2.3 Discontinuation of LYVISPAH

    When discontinuing LYVISPAH, reduce the dosage slowly and avoid abrupt withdrawal from the drug to help minimize the risk of adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

  • 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

    Oral Granules: 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg baclofen as white to off-white, strawberry flavored granules in a single dose packet.

  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    LYVISPAH is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to baclofen.

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Adverse Reactions from Abrupt Withdrawal of LYVISPAH

    Abrupt discontinuation of baclofen, regardless of the cause, has resulted in adverse reactions that include hallucinations, seizures, high fever, altered mental status, exaggerated rebound spasticity, and muscle rigidity, that in rare cases has advanced to rhabdomyolysis, multiple organ-system failure, and death. Therefore, reduce the dosage slowly when LYVISPAH is discontinued, unless the clinical situation justifies a rapid withdrawal.

    5.2 Neonatal Withdrawal Symptoms

    Withdrawal symptoms in neonates whose mothers were treated with oral baclofen throughout pregnancy have been reported starting hours to days after delivery. The symptoms of withdrawal in these infants have included increased muscle tone, tremor, jitteriness, and seizure. If the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus and LYVISPAH is continued during pregnancy, gradually reduce the dosage, and discontinue LYVISPAH before delivery. If slow withdrawal is not feasible, advise the parents or caregivers of the exposed neonate of the potential for neonatal withdrawal.

    5.3 Drowsiness and Sedation

    Drowsiness and sedation have been reported in up to 63% of patients taking baclofen, the active ingredient in LYVISPAH [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Patients should avoid operation of automobiles or other dangerous machinery and activities made hazardous by decreased alertness when starting LYVISPAH or increasing the dosage until they know how the drug affects them. Advise patients that the central nervous system depressant effects of LYVISPAH may be an additive to those of alcohol and other CNS depressants.

    5.4 Poor Tolerability in Stroke Patients

    LYVISPAH should be used with caution in patients who have had a stroke. Baclofen has not significantly benefited patients with stroke. These patients have also shown poor tolerability to the drug.

    5.5 Exacerbation of Psychotic Disorders, Schizophrenia, or Confusional States

    LYVISPAH should be used with caution in patients suffering from psychotic disorders, schizophrenia, or confusional states. If treated with LYVISPAH, these patients should be kept under careful surveillance because exacerbations of these conditions have been observed with oral baclofen administration.

    5.6 Exacerbation of Autonomic Dysreflexia

    LYVISPAH should be used with caution in patients with a history of autonomic dysreflexia. The presence of nociceptive stimuli or abrupt withdrawal of LYVISPAH may cause an autonomic dysreflexic episode.

    5.7 Exacerbation of Epilepsy

    LYVISPAH should be used with caution in patients with epilepsy. Deterioration in seizure control has been reported in patients taking baclofen.

    5.8 Posture and Balance Effects

    LYVISPAH should be used with caution in patients where spasticity is utilized to sustain upright posture and balance in locomotion or whenever spasticity is utilized to obtain increased function.

    5.9 Ovarian Cysts

    A dose-related increase in incidence of ovarian cysts was observed in female rats treated chronically with oral baclofen. Ovarian cysts have been found by palpation in about 4% of the multiple sclerosis patients who were treated with oral baclofen for up to one year. In most cases, these cysts disappeared spontaneously while patients continue to receive the drug. Ovarian cysts are estimated to occur spontaneously in approximately 1% to 5% of the normal female population.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:

    • Adverse Reactions from Abrupt Withdrawal of LYVISPAH [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
    • Neonatal Withdrawal Symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
    • Drowsiness and Sedation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
    • Poor Tolerability in Stroke Patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
    • Exacerbation of Psychotic Disorders, Schizophrenia, or Confusional States [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
    • Exacerbation of Autonomic Dysreflexia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]
    • Exacerbation of Epilepsy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)]
    • Posture and Balance Effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)]
    • Ovarian Cysts [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)]

    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 rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

    The most common adverse reaction is transient drowsiness. In one controlled study of 175 patients, transient drowsiness was observed in 63% of those receiving baclofen compared to 36% of those in the placebo group. Other common adverse reactions (up to 15%) are dizziness and weakness. Adverse reactions with a frequency of ≥1% are listed in Table 1.

    Table 1. Common (≥1%) Adverse Reactions in Patients Treated with Baclofen for Spasticity
    ADVERSE REACTIONPERCENT
    Drowsiness10-63%
    Dizziness5-15%
    Weakness5-15%
    Nausea4-12%
    Confusion1-11%
    Hypotension0-9%
    Headache4-8%
    Insomnia2-7%
    Constipation2-6%
    Urinary Frequency2-6%
    Fatigue2-4%

    The following adverse reactions not included in Table 1, classified by body system, were also reported:

    Neuropsychiatric: euphoria, excitement, depression, hallucinations, paresthesia, muscle pain, tinnitus, slurred speech, coordination disorder, tremor, rigidity, dystonia, ataxia, blurred vision, nystagmus, strabismus, miosis, mydriasis, diplopia, dysarthria, epileptic seizure
    Cardiovascular: dyspnea, palpitation, chest pain, syncope
    Gastrointestinal: dry mouth, anorexia, taste disorder, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and positive test for occult blood in stool
    Genitourinary: enuresis, urinary retention, dysuria, impotence, inability to ejaculate, nocturia, hematuria
    Other: rash, pruritus, ankle edema, excessive perspiration, weight gain, nasal congestion

    The following laboratory tests have been found to be abnormal in patients receiving baclofen: increased SGOT, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and elevation of blood sugar.

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    7.1 CNS Depressants and Alcohol

    LYVISPAH can cause CNS depression, including drowsiness and sedation, which may be an additive when used concomitantly with other CNS depressants or alcohol [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary
    There are no adequate data on the risk of major birth defects, miscarriages, or other maternal adverse outcomes associated with the use of LYVISPAH in pregnant women. There are adverse effects on fetal outcomes associated with withdrawal from baclofen after delivery (see Clinical Considerations). Oral administration of baclofen to pregnant rats resulted in an increased incidence of fetal structural abnormalities at a dose which was also associated with maternal toxicity. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

    Clinical Considerations
    Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions
    LYVISPAH may increase the risk of late-onset neonatal withdrawal symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

    Data
    Animal Data
    Baclofen given orally has been shown to increase the incidence of omphaloceles (ventral hernias) in fetuses of rats given approximately 13 times on a mg/kg basis, or 3 times on a mg/m2 basis, the maximum oral dose recommended for human use; this dose also caused reductions in food intake and weight gain in the dams. This abnormality was not seen in mice or rabbits.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary
    At recommended oral doses, baclofen is present in human milk. There are no human data on effects of baclofen on milk production. Withdrawal symptoms can occur in breastfed infants when maternal administration of LYVISPAH is stopped, or when breastfeeding is stopped [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. There are no adequate data on other effects of baclofen on the breastfed infant.

    The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for LYVISPAH and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from LYVISPAH or from the underlying maternal condition.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 have not been established.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].

    8.6 Renal Impairment

    Because baclofen is primarily excreted unchanged through the kidneys, LYVISPAH should be given with caution to patients with renal impairment, and it may be necessary to reduce the dosage.

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    10.1 Symptoms of Baclofen Overdose

    With overdose of baclofen, patients may present in coma or with progressive drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, somnolence, accommodation disorders, respiratory depression, seizures, or hypotonia progressing to loss of consciousness.

    10.2 Treatment for Overdose

    The treatment of baclofen overdose includes gastric decontamination, maintaining an adequate airway and respirations.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    LYVISPAH (baclofen) oral granules is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA-ergic) agonist available as 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg of baclofen oral granules in a packet. Its chemical name is 4-amino-3-(4- chlorophenyl)-butanoic acid and its structural formula is:

    chemical-structure

    Molecular formula is C10H12ClNO2

    Molecular Weight is 213.66.

    Baclofen USP is a white to off-white, odorless or practically odorless crystalline powder. It is slightly soluble in water, very slightly soluble in methanol, and insoluble in chloroform.

    LYVISPAH (baclofen) oral granules inactive ingredients include amino methacrylate copolymer, calcium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, hypromellose, mannitol, saccharin sodium, strawberry flavor, talc, and xylitol.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    The precise mechanism of action of baclofen is not fully understood. Baclofen inhibits both monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes at the spinal level, possibly by decreasing excitatory neurotransmitter release from afferent terminals, although actions at supraspinal sites may also occur and contribute to its clinical effect. Baclofen is a structural analog of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and may exert its effects by stimulation of the GABA-β receptor subtype.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Baclofen has been shown to have general CNS depressant properties, as indicated by the production of sedation with tolerance, somnolence, ataxia, and respiratory and cardiovascular depression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3), Adverse Reactions (6.1), and Overdosage (10.1)].

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Pharmacokinetic studies in heathy adult subjects under fasting conditions at 20 mg dose level demonstrated similar bioavailability for baclofen oral granules and oral tablets.

    Absorption
    The peak plasma concentrations of baclofen oral granule formulation were achieved in about one hour and the apparent elimination half-life is about 5.5 hours. The exposure of baclofen was dose proportional across the dose range of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg.

    Effect of Food
    Administering LYVISPAH with or without water, or with applesauce did not affect the bioavailability of baclofen oral granules. Administration with a high fat meal resulted in 10% decrease in AUC and 29% decrease in Cmax compared to the fasted state.

    Elimination
    Baclofen is excreted primarily by the kidney in unchanged form, and there is relatively large intersubject variation in absorption and/or elimination.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Carcinogenesis
    No increase in tumors was seen in rats receiving baclofen orally for two years at approximately 30 to 60 times on a mg/kg basis, or 10 to 20 times on a mg/m2 basis, the maximum oral dose recommended for human use.

    Mutagenesis
    Genetic toxicology assays have not been conducted for baclofen.

    Impairment of Fertility
    Studies to evaluate the effects of baclofen on fertility have not been conducted.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    The efficacy of LYVISPAH is based upon a bioavailability study in healthy adults comparing baclofen oral tablets to LYVISPAH [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
