WARNING: SEVERE BRONCHOCONSTRICTION

BOXED WARNING SECTION

WARNING: SEVERE BRONCHOCONSTRICTION

Severe bronchoconstriction can result from Provocholine administration (including the lowest dose). The use of Provocholine is contraindicated in pediatric and adult patients with baseline FEV1 < 60% predicted or adults with FEV1 < 1.5 L. Because of the potential for severe bronchoconstriction, the use of Provocholine in patients with clinically apparent asthma or wheezing is not recommended [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Emergency equipment and medication should be immediately available to treat acute respiratory distress. If severe bronchoconstriction occurs, reverse immediately with a rapid-acting inhaled bronchodilator agent (β-agonist) [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

If baseline spirometry is not performed or is measured inaccurately, the initial FEV1 may be underestimated. In this situation, decreases in FEV1 may not be detected after administration of escalating Provocholine doses, which may result in administration of unnecessary higher doses and an increased risk for excessive bronchoconstriction [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

INDICATIONS & USAGE SECTION

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION

2.1 Preparation and Administration Overview

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Provocholine powder for inhalation solution requires reconstitution and dilution prior to use [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
Provocholine inhalation solution in a ready-to-use kit does not require reconstitution and/ or silution prior to use.
Provocholine inhalation solution 16 mg/mL in a single-dose vial requires dilution prior to use [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
For safety and accuracy, administer Provocholine during a methacholine challenge test in a pulmonary function laboratory or clinic, by an adequately trained personnel. Only healthcare providers trained in and thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the test’s technique and management of respiratory distress should perform the test. Emergency medication and equipment should be immediately available to treat acute respiratory distress.
Consider Provocholine use in patients on chronic asthma drugs if the accuracy of the asthma diagnosis is in doubt. In these patients, only administer Provocholine if spirometry is normal after supervised withdrawal of the asthma drugs.
Provocholine is not recommended for use in patients with clinically apparent asthma or wheezing.
Before starting a methacholine challenge test, baseline spirometry must be performed. For a patient to be able to undergo the test, he or she must present with baseline FEV ₁(Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) greater than or equal to 60% of the predicted value (in adults and children) and greater than or equal to 1.5 L (in adults).
Provocholine is contraindicated in adult and pediatric patients with baseline FEV1 < 60% predicted or in adults with FEV ₁< 1.5 L [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
At commencement of the methacholine challenge test and prior to administration of Provocholine, a post-diluent FEV ₁must be measured following nebulization of the diluent or base solution (contains no methacholine chloride) [ see Dosage and Administration (2.4, 2.5)].
Administer Provocholine by oral inhalation, with or without food, using either the 5-Breath Dosimeter Dosing Method or the 1-Minute Tidal Breathing Dosing Method with the dose doubling or quadrupling protocols [see Dosage and Administration (2.3, 2.4, 2.5)].
Discard any unused solution from the nebulizer after each administration.
The methacholine challenge test is considered positive if there is a reduction of FEV ₁of 20% or more from the post-diluent FEV ₁. The test should be stopped at this point. Calculate and record the FEV ₁reduction value before starting the test [see Dosage and Administration (2.3, 2.4, 2.5)].
After the methacholine challenge test with Provocholine, administer an inhaled β-agonist to expedite the return of the FEV ₁to baseline and to relieve any discomfort the patient may experience. Most patients revert to normal pulmonary function within 10 to 20 minutes following administration of an inhaled β-agonist [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)].

2.2 Reconstitution and/or Dilution Instructions for Provocholine Powder for Inhalation Solution and Provocholine Inhalation Solution 16 mg/mL (in Single-Dose Vial)

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION

Reconstitution and Dilution of Provocholine Powder for Inhalation Solution

Reconstitute Provocholine Powder for Inhalation Solution by adding 6.25 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection to the supplied vial(s) containing 100 mg of Provocholine powder. Shake the vial to obtain a clear solution.
Dilute the reconstituted Provocholine solution, using sterile, empty USP Type 1 borosilicate glass vials. Dilute the reconstituted Provocholine solution with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection based on Table 1 to obtain doubling strengths or Table 2 to obtain quadrupling strengths. After adding the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, shake each vial to obtain a clear solution.
If not used immediately, refrigerate the reconstituted and diluted solutions at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) for up to 2 weeks.

*Provocholine dose was based on the Hudson RCI® MicroMist® Small Volume Nebulizer using dry compressed air to power the nebulizer with a pressure regulator set to 50 lb/in ²(psi) and flow controller set to flow rate of 4.5 LPM (liters per minute) with a nebulization time of one (1) minute. Under these conditions, the device output was within 10% of 0.13 mL/min (or g/min) (measured gravimetrically), the measured MMD was found to be 3.4 μm, i.e. within the acceptable range of MMD of 1.0 – 3.6 μm. The delivered dose of the respirable fraction for the Provocholine 16 mg/mL inhalation solution was about 380 mcg.

2.4 Determination of Post-Diluent FEV1 and Administration of Provocholine Using the 5-Breath Dosimeter Dosing Method

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION

Determination of Post-Diluent FEV ₁Prior to Administration of Provocholine

Prior to administration of Provocholine, determine thepost-diluent FEV ₁value required for the methacholine challenge test.

Instill diluent (sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection) or base solution into the nebulizer.

If using Provocholine powder for inhalation solution or Provocholine inhalation solution 16 mg/mL (in single-dose vial), using a 3 mL syringe and needle, draw up 2 to 3 mL of diluent (sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection), and instill the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection into the nebulizer using a sterile bacterial-retentive filter (porosity 0.22 μm).
If using the Provocholine inhalation solution ready-to-use kit, instill the contents of the base solution (contains no methacholine chloride) into the nebulizer.

2. Instruct the patient to hold the nebulizer upright with the mouthpiece in his/her mouth. The patient should wear a nose clip while inhaling from the nebulizer.

3. At the end of exhalation during tidal breathing (functional residual capacity), instruct the patient to inhale slowly and deeply through the mouthpiece. Trigger the dosimeter soon after oral inhalation begins. Encourage the patient to continue inhaling slowly (about 5 seconds to complete the inhalation) and to hold the breath at total lung capacity (TLC) for another 5 seconds.

4. Repeat Step 3 for a total of five inspiratory capacity inhalations. Take no more than 2 minutes to perform these 5 inhalations.
5. Perform spirometry and measure the FEV ₁30 and 90 seconds after the fifth inhalation from the nebulizer to obtain the post-diluent FEV ₁value. These values may be left at ambient (spirometer) temperature pressure saturated (ATPS).

If the FEV ₁value is not of acceptable quality, repeat the procedure.
If the post-diluent FEV ₁falls by ≥ 20% from baseline FEV ₁, do not proceed with administration with Provocholine and administer an inhaled β-agonist [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)].
If the post-diluent FEV ₁falls by< 20% from baseline FEV1, proceed to Step 6.

Administer of Provocholine Using the 5-Breath Dosimeter Dosing Method

6. Instill Provocholine solution into the nebulizer

If using Provocholine powder for inhalation solution or Provocholine inhalation solution 16 mg/mL (in single-dose vial), using a 3 mL syringe and needle, draw up at least 2 mL of the recommended Provocholine strength based on the dose doubling or quadrupling protocol in Table 5 [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]and instill into the nebulizer using a sterile bacterial-retentive filter (porosity 0.22 μm). Refer to Tables 1, 2, 3 or 4 for preparation of the doubling or quadrupling strengths of Provocholine [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
If using the Provocholine inhalation solution ready-to-use kit, instill at least 2 mL of the recommended Provocholine strength based on the dose quadrupling protocol in Table 5 [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]into the nebulizer.

7. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each Provocholine strength, emptying the nebulizer between each strength. To keep the cumulative effect of Provocholine relatively constant, the time interval between the end of one strength and beginning of the subsequent strength should not be more than 5 minutes.

8. Stop dosing if the FEV ₁has fallen ≥ 20% from the post-diluent FEV ₁, or the highest Provocholine strength (16 mg/mL) has been administered (whichever comes first). Do not administer additional Provocholine doses if severe bronchoconstriction occurs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. After the test is completed, administer an inhaled β-agonist to the patient [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)].

9. Wash and clean reusable nebulizers thoroughly according to manufacturer's recommendations.

2.5 Determination of Post-Diluent FEV 1and Administration of Provocholine Using the 1-Minute Tidal Breathing Dosing Method

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION

Determination of Post-Diluent FEV ₁Prior to Administration of Provocholine

Prior to administration of Provocholine, determine the post-diluent FEV ₁required for the methacholine challenge test.

Instill diluent (sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection) or base solution into the nebulizer.

If using Provocholine powder for inhalation solution or Provocholine inhalation solution 16 mg/mL (in single-dose vial), using a 3 mL syringe and needle, draw up 2 to 3 mL of diluent (sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection). Instill the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection into the nebulizer using a sterile bacterial-retentive filter (porosity 0.22 μm). Attach the nebulizer and necessary tubing to the dry compressed air source.
If using the Provocholine inhalation solution ready-to-use kit, instill the contents of the base solution (contains no methacholine chloride) into the nebulizer.

2. Place the face mask loosely over the nose and mouth or the mouthpiece in the mouth (with a nose clip) of the patient. Instruct the patient to hold the nebulizer to avoid warming the solution. Keep the nebulizer upright and vertical.
3. Set the pressure regulator to 50 lb/in ²(psi) and start the nebulizer by setting the flow controller to a flow rate of 4.5 LPM. Start the stopwatch immediately.
4. Instruct the patient to relax and breath the aerosol quietly (tidal breathing) for 1 minute of inhalation time.
5. After exactly 1 minute of tidal breathing, turn off the nebulizer and flow meter, remove the face mask (or the mouthpiece from the mouth), and discard any remaining solution.
6. Perform spirometry and measure the FEV ₁30 and 90 seconds after the end of 1-minute tidal breathing to obtain the post-diluent FEV ₁. These values may be left at ambient (spirometer) temperature pressure saturated (ATPS).

If the FEV ₁value is not of acceptable quality, repeat the procedure.
If the post-diluent FEV ₁falls by ≥ 20% from baseline FEV1, do not proceed with administration of Provocholine and administer an inhaled β-agonist to the patient [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)].
If the post-diluent FEV ₁falls by < 20% from baseline FEV ₁, proceed to Step 7.

Administration of Provocholine Using the 1-Minute Tidal Breathing Dosing Method
7. Instill Provocholine solution into the nebulizer.

If using Provocholine powder for inhalation solution or Provocholine inhalation solution 16 mg/mL (in single-dose vial), using a 3 mL syringe and needle, draw up at least 2 mL of the recommended Provocholine strength based on the dose doubling or quadrupling protocol in Table 5 [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]and instill into the nebulizer using a sterile bacterial-retentive filter (porosity 0.22 μm). Refer to Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 for preparation of the doubling and quadrupling strengths of Provocholine [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
If using the Provocholine inhalation solution ready-to-use kit, instill at least 2 mL of the recommended Provocholine strength, based on the dose quadrupling protocol in Table 5 [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]into the nebulizer.

8. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each Provocholine strength, emptying the nebulizer between each strength or dose.
However, stop dosing if the FEV ₁has fallen by ≥ 20% from the post-diluent FEV ₁or the highest Provocholine strength (16 mg/mL) has been administered (whichever comes first). Do not administer additional Provocholine doses if severe bronchoconstriction occurs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
9. After the test is completed, administer an inhaled β-agonist to the patient [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)].
10.Wash and clean reusable nebulizers thoroughly according to manufacturer’s recommendations and discard disposable nebulizers appropriately.

2.6 Recommended Administration of Inhaled β-agonist after Methacholine Challenge Test

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION

After the methacholine challenge test is completed, administer an inhaled β-agonist to the patient to expedite the return of the FEV1 to within 90% of baseline and to relieve any discomfort (the majority of patients revert to normal pulmonary function within 10 to 20 minutes after β-agonist administration; in contrast the majority of patients revert to normal pulmonary function within 30-45 minutes without β-agonist administration). Wait 10 minutes and measure the FEV1 and Vital Capacity. Do not allow patients to leave the laboratory or clinic until their FEV1 has returned to within 90% of baseline.

2.7 Interpretation of Methacholine Challenge Test Results and Calculation of Airway Hyperresponsiveness

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION

Positive Methacholine Challenge Test

A positive methacholine challenge test is a ≥ 20% reduction in the FEV1 (after Provocholine oral inhalation) compared to the mean post-diluent FEV1. The test should be stopped at this point. Record the post-diluent FEV1 value and calculate the ≥ 20% FEV1 reduction value before starting the methacholine challenge test.

If asthma drugs are discontinued prior to the methacholine challenge test, consider the possibility of rebound airway hyperreactivity in the interpretation of the test results. The methacholine challenge test may occasionally be falsely positive after an influenza infection or upper respiratory infection, immunizations, in very young or very old patients, in patients with chronic lung disease (e.g. cystic fibrosis, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), in patients with allergic rhinitis without asthma symptoms, in smokers, or in patients after exposure to air pollutants.

If the 5-breath dosimeter dosing method is used, calculate airway hyperresponsiveness (PC20) based on the provocative Provocholine strength (mg/mL) that results in a fall in FEV1 of ≥ 20%.

If the 1-minute tidal breathing dosing method is used, calculate airway hyperresponsiveness (PD20) based on the provocative Provocholine dose (mcg) that results in a fall in FEV1 of ≥ 20%.

Calculation of PC ₂₀(5-breath dosimeter dosing method)

1. Determine the percent decrease [was fall] in FEV1 using the mean post-diluent FEV ₁and the lowest FEV ₁post-Provocholine (post-dose), as shown below: :

% fall in FEV ₁= mean post-diluent FEV ₁- lowest FEV ₁post-Provocholine x 100
mean post-diluent FEV ₁

2. Calculate PC ₂₀using one of the following methods:

Method #1: Plot the percent decrease in FEV ₁against the increasing methacholine concentration using a log scale and obtain the PC ₂₀by linear interpolation between the last two points, as shown in Figure 1.

Graph

Method #2: Calculate the PC ₂₀using the following equation:

PC ₂₀= antilog [log C1+ (log C2 - log C1)(20 - R1)]
(R2- R1)

Where:
• C1 = second last methacholine concentration (< 20% FEV ₁decrease)
• C2 = last methacholine concentration (≥ 20% FEV ₁decrease)
• R1 = % fall FEV ₁after C1
• R2 = % fall FEV ₁after C2

Calculation of PD ₂₀(1-minute tidal breathing dosing method)

Calculate the PD ₂₀as follows:

PD ₂₀= antilog [log D1+ (log D2 - log D1)(20 - R1)]
(R2- R1)

Where:
• D1 = second last Provocholine dose (< 20% FEV ₁decrease)
• D2 = last Provocholine dose (≥ 20% FEV ₁decrease)
• R1 = % FEV ₁decrease after D1
• R2 = % FEV ₁decrease after D2

Negative Methacholine Challenge Test

A negative (normal) methacholine challenge result is defined as FEV ₁reduction of < 20% after all the doses, as part of the dose doubling or quadrupling protocol in Table 5, have been administered [ See Dosage and Administration (2.3)]

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

CONTRAINDICATIONS SECTION

Provocholine is contraindicated in patients with:

Hypersensitivity to methacholine or other parasympathomimetic agents. Reactions have included rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
Baseline FEV ₁< 60% predicted (adults or pediatric patients) or <1.5 L (adults)

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION

5.1 Risk of Severe Bronchoconstriction

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Severe bronchoconstriction can result from Provocholine administration (including the lowest dose). The use of Provocholine is contraindicated in pediatric and adult patients with baseline FEV ₁< 60% predicted or adults with FEV ₁< 1.5 L. Emergency equipment and medication should be immediately available to treat acute respiratory distress. Because of the potential for severe bronchoconstriction, the use of Provocholine in patients with clinically apparent asthma or wheezing is not recommended. If severe bronchoconstriction occurs, reverse immediately by the administration of a rapid-acting inhaled β-agonist.

If baseline spirometry is not performed or is measured inaccurately, the initial FEV ₁may be underestimated. In this situation, decreases in FEV ₁may not be detected after escalating Provocholine doses, which may result in administration of unnecessary higher doses and an increase in the risk for excessive bronchoconstriction.

5.2 Bronchoconstriction from Inadvertent Exposure to Healthcare Providers Administering Provocholine

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

The supplied Provocholine powder or the Provocholine nebulized aerosol may cause bronchoconstriction in healthcare providers administering Provocholine in a methacholine challenge test. Healthcare providers and any other personnel involved in the administration of Provocholine should take the following precautionary steps:

Do not inhale the supplied Provocholine powder
Do not handle the Provocholine powder if you have asthma or hay fever.
Apply a low resistance filter to expiratory ports of dosing apparatus, as necessary, to prevent Provocholine release in the room air

5.3 Risk in Patients with Coexisting Diseases and Conditions

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Provocholine is not recommended for patients with uncontrolled hypertension, aortic aneurysm, or history of myocardial infarction or stroke diseases. Patients with epilepsy, vagotonia, peptic ulcer disease, thyroid disease, urinary tract obstruction or other condition that could be adversely affected by a cholinergic agent should undergo methacholine challenge only if the healthcare practitioner considers the benefit to the individual outweighs the potential risks.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION

The following adverse reactions associated with the use of Provocholine were identified in clinical studies or post marketing reports. Because some of these reactions were 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.

Respiratory System: Bronchospasm (includes symptoms such as chest tightness, cough or wheezing).

Less Common Adverse Reactions: Headache, throat irritation, light-headedness and itching.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION

Beta-Adrenergic Blockers

The use of beta-adrenergic blockers may impair reversal of Provocholine-caused bronchoconstriction.

Beta-Agonists, Anticholinergics, and Theophylline
Beta-agonists, anticholinergics, and theophylline inhibit the response of airways to Provocholine; therefore, hold these drugs before Provocholine use for the following duration:

• Short-acting β-agonists (e.g., albuterol): 6 hours
• Long-acting β-agonists (e.g., salmeterol): 36 hours
• Short-acting anti-cholinergics (e.g., ipratropium): 12 hours
• Long-acting anti-cholinergics (e.g., tiotropium): ≥168 hours
• Oral theophylline: 12-48 hours

Oral or Inhaled Corticosteroids, and Inhaled Cromoglycate

Regular use of oral or inhaled corticosteroids and inhaled cromoglycate may acutely decrease bronchial responsiveness to Provocholine. However, these drugs may be continued with Provocholine use.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION

8.1 Pregnancy

PREGNANCY SECTION

RiskSummary
The available data from published literature on Provocholine use in pregnant women are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction studies evaluating effects of methacholine chloride on embryofetal development have not been conducted. Diagnosis of bronchial airway hyperreactivity with bronchoprovocation challenge is not recommended for pregnant women because of the potential for hypoxia in the fetus. If bronchial airway hyperreactivity is suspected, consider trial of empiric treatment.

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the United States 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.

8.2 Lactation

LACTATION SECTION

Risk Summary
There are no available data on the presence of methacholine chloride in human milk, the effect on the breastfed infant, or the effect on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Provocholine and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Provocholine or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4 Pediatric Use

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION

11 DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION SECTION

Methacholine chloride, the active ingredient of Provocholine, is a parasympathomimetic (cholinergic) bronchoconstrictor agent. Provocholine (methacholine chloride) powder for solution is administered by oral inhalation.

Chemically, methacholine chloride (the active ingredient) is 1-propanaminium, 2-(acetyloxy)-N,N,N,-trimethyl-, chloride. It is a white to practically white deliquescent compound, soluble in water, alcohol and chloroform and insoluble in ether. Aqueous solutions are neutral to litmus.

Methacholine chloride has an empirical formula of C ₈H ₁₈ClNO ₂, a molecular weight of 195.69, and the following structural formula:

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION

12.1 Mechanism of Action

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION

Methacholine chloride is a cholinergic agonist. Bronchial smooth muscle contains significant parasympathetic (cholinergic) innervation. Methacholine chloride agonizes the muscarinic receptors which eventually induce bronchoconstriction.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION

After oral inhalation of Provocholine, patients with asthma are more sensitive to Provocholine-induced bronchoconstriction than are healthy subjects. This difference in response is the pharmacological basis for Provocholine in the methacholine challenge test.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION

There are no metabolic and pharmacokinetic data available on methacholine chloride.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION

There have been no studies with methacholine chloride that would permit an evaluation of its carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or of its effect on fertility.
