Adverse reactions
Information about undesirable effects, reasonably associated with use of the drug, that may occur as part of the pharmacological action of the drug or may be unpredictable in its occurrence. Adverse reactions include those that occur with the drug, and if applicable, with drugs in the same pharmacologically active and chemically related class. There is considerable variation in the listing of adverse reactions. They may be categorized by organ system, by severity of reaction, by frequency, by toxicological mechanism, or by a combination of these.6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Increase in Intraocular Pressure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Delayed Healing [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Infection Exacerbation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Cataract Progression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] In controlled studies, the most common adverse reactions reported by 5-15% of patients were intraocular pressure increased, corneal edema and iritis ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact EyePoint Pharmaceuticals US at 1-833-EYEPOINT (1-833-393-7646) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies 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 following adverse events rates are derived from three clinical trials in which 339 patients received the 517 microgram dose of DEXYCU. The most commonly reported adverse reactions occurred in 5-15% of subjects and included increases in intraocular pressure, corneal edema and iritis. Other ocular adverse reactions occurring in 1-5% of subjects included, corneal endothelial cell loss, blepharitis, eye pain, cystoid macular edema, dry eye, ocular inflammation, posterior capsule opacification, blurred vision, reduced visual acuity, vitreous floaters, foreign body sensation, photophobia, and vitreous detachment.
Clinical pharmacology
Information about the clinical pharmacology and actions of the drug in humans.12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids have been shown to suppress inflammation by inhibiting multiple inflammatory cytokines resulting in decreased edema, fibrin deposition, capillary leakage and migration of inflammatory cells. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Systemic exposure to dexamethasone was evaluated in a subgroup of patients enrolled in two studies (n=25 for the first study and n=13 for the second study). The patients received a single intraocular injection of DEXYCU containing 342 mcg or 517 mcg of dexamethasone at the end of cataract surgery and blood samples were collected prior to surgery and at several time points post-surgery between Day 1 and up to Day 30. In the first study, the dexamethasone plasma concentrations on post-surgery Day 1 ranged from 0.09 to 0.86 ng/mL and from 0.07 to 1.16 ng/mL following administration of DEXYCU 342 mcg and 517 mcg, respectively. In the second study, dexamethasone plasma concentrations on post-surgery Day 1 ranged from 0.349 to 2.79 ng/mL following administration of DEXYCU 517 mcg. In both the studies, dexamethasone plasma concentrations declined over time and very few patients had quantifiable dexamethasone plasma concentrations at the final time point of sampling (Day 15 or Day 30).

Dosage and administration
Information about the drug product’s dosage and administration recommendations, including starting dose, dose range, titration regimens, and any other clinically sigificant information that affects dosing recommendations.2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intraocular administration ( 2 ). Administer 0.005 mL of DEXYCU into the posterior chamber inferiorly behind the iris at the end of ocular surgery ( 2 ). 2.1 Dosing Information DEXYCU should be administered as a single dose, intraocularly in the posterior chamber at the end of surgery. The dose is 0.005 mL of dexamethasone 9% (equivalent to 517 micrograms). 2.2 Preparation and Administration Each kit of DEXYCU is for a single administration. After preparation, 0.005 mL will be administered. The DEXYCU administration kit contains the following items: One glass vial: 0.5 mL of DEXYCU One sterile 1-mL syringe One sterile syringe guide One sterile syringe ring One sterile 18-gauge needle (1½ inches long), plastic cap attached One sterile 25-gauge bent cannula (8 mm long), plastic cap attached Step 1. Prepare a sterile field. Remove the components of the administration kit from their respective pouches: syringe syringe guide syringe ring needle cannula Place onto the sterile field. Step 2. Withdraw the syringe plunger approximately 1 inch. Place the syringe ring on the plunger (slit facing the plunger). Apply slight downward pressure until the syringe ring "snaps" into place. Step 3. Place the 18-gauge needle firmly on the syringe. Remove the cap from the needle. Depress the plunger completely and then withdraw the plunger to fill the syringe with air. Step 4. Mix using a vortex mixer or vigorously shake the vial of DEXYCU sideways for a minimum of 30 seconds. The suspended drug material must be used immediately after shaking. Step 5. Remove the blue plastic flip-cap from the vial and wipe the top of rubber stopper with an alcohol pad. Invert the vial. Step 6. Insert the needle into the vial and inject the air into the vial. Making sure the needle tip is immersed in the drug material pooled in the neck of the inverted vial, fill the syringe by slowly withdrawing the plunger approximately 0.2 mL. Remove the needle from the vial and discard the unused portion in the vial. Step 7. Remove the needle from the syringe. Firmly place the cannula on the syringe and remove the plastic cap. Hold the syringe vertically with the cannula pointing up. Depress the plunger to expel air bubbles from syringe. Step 8. Affix the syringe guide over the syringe ring on the plunger. Step 9. Depress the plunger until the syringe guide/ring mechanism comes gently into contact with the flange of the syringe. Lightly tap/flick the barrel of the syringe to remove any excess drug from the tip of the cannula. Do not wipe or touch the tip of the cannula to remove excess drug. Step 10. Remove the syringe guide, leaving the syringe ring in place. Caution to not move the plunger. The space between the syringe ring and the top of the plunger is the medication injection volume that will be applied to the patient's eye. The syringe is now ready for injection. Step 11. In a single slow motion, inject 0.005 mL of the drug material behind the iris in the inferior portion of the posterior chamber. If the sphere of administered drug after intraocular injection appears to be larger than 2 mm in diameter, excess drug material may be removed by irrigation and aspiration in the sterile surgical setting PLEASE NOTE: Some drug material will remain in the syringe after the injection—this is necessary for accurate dosing. Discard unused portion remaining in the syringe after administration. Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure

Clinical studies
This field may contain references to clinical studies in place of detailed discussion in other sections of the labeling.14 CLINICAL STUDIES Clinical efficacy was evaluated in a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial (NCT02006888) in which subjects received either DEXYCU or placebo (vehicle). A dose of 5 microliters of DEXYCU (equivalent to 517 micrograms of dexamethasone), a dose equivalent to 342 micrograms of dexamethasone or vehicle was administered by the physician at the end of the surgical procedure. The primary efficacy endpoint for the study was the proportion of patients with anterior chamber cell clearing (i.e., cell score=0) on postoperative day (POD) 8. The presence of anterior cells was assessed using a slit lamp binocular microscope up to 30 days post treatment. The percentage of patients with anterior chamber clearing at Day 8 was 20% in the placebo group, and 57%, and 60% in the 342 and 517 microgram treatment groups, respectively (Table 1). The percentage of subjects receiving rescue medication of ocular steroid or NSAID was significantly lower at Day 3, 8, 15 and 30 in the 342 and 517 microgram treatment groups compared to placebo (Table 2).

Pregnancy
Information about effects the drug may have on pregnant women or on a fetus. This field may be ommitted if the drug is not absorbed systemically and the drug is not known to have a potential for indirect harm to the fetus. It may contain information about the established pregnancy category classification for the drug. (That information is nominally listed in the teratogenic_effects field, but may be listed here instead.)8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of DEXYCU (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9% in pregnant women. Topical ocular administration of dexamethasone in mice and rabbits during the period of organogenesis produced cleft palate and embryofetal death in mice and malformations of abdominal wall/intestines and kidneys in rabbits at doses 7 and 5 times higher than the injected recommended human ophthalmic dose (RHOD) of DEXYCU (517 micrograms dexamethasone), respectively [see Data ] . In the US 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 Topical ocular administration of 0.15% dexamethasone (0.75 mg/kg/day) on gestational days 10 to 13 produced embryofetal lethality and a high incidence of cleft palate in mice. A dose of 0.75 mg/kg/day in the mouse is approximately 7-times the injected RHOD of DEXYCU, on a mg/m 2 basis. In rabbits, topical ocular administration of 0.1% dexamethasone throughout organogenesis (0.20 mg/kg/day on gestational day 6, followed by 0.13 mg/kg/day on gestational days 7 – 18) produced intestinal anomalies, intestinal aplasia, gastroschisis and hypoplastic kidneys. A dose of 0.13 mg/kg/day in the rabbit is approximately 5-times the injected RHOD of DEXYCU, on a mg/m 2 basis. A no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) was not identified in the mouse or rabbit studies.
Use in specific populations
Information about use of the drug by patients in specific populations, including pregnant women and nursing mothers, pediatric patients, and geriatric patients.8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of DEXYCU (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9% in pregnant women. Topical ocular administration of dexamethasone in mice and rabbits during the period of organogenesis produced cleft palate and embryofetal death in mice and malformations of abdominal wall/intestines and kidneys in rabbits at doses 7 and 5 times higher than the injected recommended human ophthalmic dose (RHOD) of DEXYCU (517 micrograms dexamethasone), respectively [see Data ] .

A dose of 0.13 mg/kg/day in the rabbit is approximately 5-times the injected RHOD of DEXYCU, on a mg/m 2 basis. A no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) was not identified in the mouse or rabbit studies. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary Systemically administered corticosteroids are present in human milk and can suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, or cause other unwanted effects. There is no information regarding the presence of injected DEXYCU in human milk, the effects on breastfed infants, or the effects on milk production to inform risk of DEXYCU to an infant during lactation. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered, along with the mother's clinical need for DEXYCU and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from DEXYCU. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of DEXYCU in pediatric patients have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between older and younger patients.
