Overdosage of Fesoterodine fumarate
Information about signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings of acute ovedosage and the general principles of overdose treatment.10 OVERDOSAGE Overdosage with fesoterodine fumarate can result in severe anticholinergic effects. Treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. In the event of overdosage, ECG monitoring is recommended.
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 clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Angioedema [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ] Urinary Retention [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) ] Decreased Gastointestinal Motility [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ) ] Most frequently reported adverse events with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in adult patients with OAB (≥4%) were: dry mouth (placebo, 7%; fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg, 19%; fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg, 35%) and constipation (placebo, 2%; fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg, 4%; fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg, 6%). ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. at 1-888-375-3784 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. Pediatric use information is approved for Pfizer Inc.’s TOVIAZ® (fesoterodine fumarate) extended-release tablets. However, due to Pfizer Inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. 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. Adult Overactive Bladder (OAB) The safety of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets was evaluated in Phase 2 and 3 controlled trials in a total of 2,859 patients with overactive bladder, of which 2,288 were treated with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets. Of this total, 782 received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg/day, and 785 received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg/day with treatment periods of 8- or 12- weeks. Approximately 80% of these patients had greater than 10-weeks of exposure to fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in these trials. A total of 1,964 patients participated in two 12-week, Phase 3 efficacy and safety studies and subsequent open-label extension studies. In these two studies combined, 554 patients received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg/day and 566 patients received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg/day. In Phase 2 and 3 placebo-controlled trials combined, the incidences of serious adverse events in patients receiving placebo, fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg, and fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg were 1.9%, 3.5%, and 2.9%, respectively. All serious adverse events were judged to be not related or unlikely to be related to study medication by the investigator, except for four patients receiving fesoterodine fumarate who reported one serious adverse reaction each: angina, chest pain, gastroenteritis, and QT prolongation on ECG. The most commonly reported adverse event in patients treated with fesoterodine fumarate was dry mouth. The incidence of dry mouth was higher in those taking 8 mg/day (35%) and in those taking 4 mg/day (19%), as compared to placebo (7%). Dry mouth led to discontinuation in 0.4%, 0.4%, and 0.8% of patients receiving placebo, fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg, and fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg, respectively. For those patients who reported dry mouth, most had their first occurrence of the event within the first month of treatment. The second most commonly reported adverse event was constipation. The incidence of constipation was 2% in those taking placebo, 4% in those taking 4 mg/day, and 6% in those taking 8 mg/day. Table 4 lists adverse events, regardless of causality, that were reported in the combined Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials at an incidence greater than placebo and in 1% or more of patients treated with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 or 8 mg once daily for up to 12 weeks.

In all open-label trials combined, 857, 701, 529, and 105 patients received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets for at least 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years, respectively. The adverse events observed during long-term, open-label studies were similar to those observed in the 12-week, placebo-controlled studies, and included dry mouth, constipation, dry eyes, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain. Similar to the controlled studies, most adverse events of dry mouth and constipation were mild to moderate in intensity. Serious adverse events, judged to be at least possibly related to study medication by the investigator and reported more than once during the open-label treatment period of up to 3 years, included urinary retention (3 cases), diverticulitis (3 cases), constipation (2 cases), irritable bowel syndrome (2 cases), and electrocardiogram QT corrected interval prolongation (2 cases).

However, due to Pfizer Inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. 6.2 Post-marketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of fesoterodin eextended-release tablets. Because these reactions are 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. Cardiac disorders : Palpitations Central nervous system disorders : Dizziness, headache, somnolence Eye disorders : Blurred vision General disorders and administrative site conditions : Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema with airway obstruction, face edema Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders : Urticaria, pruritus

Fesoterodine fumarate Drug Interactions
Information about and practical guidance on preventing clinically significant drug/drug and drug/food interactions that may occur in people taking the drug.7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Antimuscarinic Drugs Coadministration of fesoterodine fumarate with other antimuscarinic agents that produce dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, and other anticholinergic pharmacological effects may increase the frequency and/or severity of such effects. Anticholinergic agents may potentially alter the absorption of some concomitantly administered drugs due to anticholinergic effects on gastrointestinal motility. 7.2 CYP3A4 Inhibitors Doses of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets greater than 4 mg are not recommended in adult patients taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and clarithromycin [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 ) ]. In a study in adults, coadministration of the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole with fesoterodine led to approximately a doubling of the maximum concentration (C max ) and area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT), the active metabolite of fesoterodine. Compared with CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers not taking ketoconazole, further increases in the exposure to 5-HMT were observed in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers taking ketoconazole [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ]. There is no clinically relevant effect of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. Following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor fluconazole 200 mg twice a day for 2 days, the average (90% confidence interval) increase in C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine was approximately 19% (11% to 28%) and 27% (18% to 36%) respectively. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., erythromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem, verapamil and grapefruit juice). The effect of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. cimetidine) was not examined; it is not expected to be in excess of the effect of moderate inhibitors [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ]. Pediatric use information is approved for Pfizer Inc.’s TOVIAZ® (fesoterodine fumarate) extended-release tablets. However, due to Pfizer Inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. 7.3 CYP3A4 Inducers No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP3A4 inducers, such as rifampin and carbamazepine. Following induction of CYP3A4 by coadministration of rifampin 600 mg once a day, C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine decreased by approximately 70% and 75%, respectively, after oral administration of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite was not changed. 7.4 CYP2D6 Inhibitors The interaction with CYP2D6 inhibitors was not tested clinically. In poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, representing a maximum CYP2D6 inhibition, C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP2D6 inhibitors. 7.5 Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450 In vitro data indicate that at therapeutic concentrations, the active metabolite of fesoterodine does not have the potential to inhibit or induce Cytochrome P450 enzyme systems [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ]. 7.6 Oral Contraceptives In the presence of fesoterodine, there are no clinically significant changes in the plasma concentrations of combined oral contraceptives containing ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ]. 7.7 Warfarin A clinical study has shown that fesoterodine extended-release tablets 8 mg once daily has no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics or the anticoagulant activity (PT/INR) of warfarin 25 mg. Standard therapeutic monitoring for warfarin should be continued [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. 7.8 Drug-Laboratory Test Interactions Interactions between fesoterodine fumarate and laboratory tests have not been studied
Clinical pharmacology
Information about the clinical pharmacology and actions of the drug in humans.12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Fesoterodine is a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist. After oral administration, fesoterodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed by nonspecific esterases to its active metabolite, 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, which is responsible for the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine. Muscarinic receptors play a role in contractions of urinary bladder smooth muscle. Inhibition of these receptors in the bladder is presumed to be the mechanism by which fesoterodine produces its effects. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics In a urodynamic study involving patients with involuntary detrusor contractions, the effects after the administration of fesoterodine on the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity were assessed. Administration of fesoterodine increased the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity in a dose-dependent manner. These findings are consistent with an antimuscarinic effect on the bladder. Cardiac Electrophysiology : The effect of fesoterodine 4 mg and 28 mg on the QT interval was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo- and positive-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg once a day) parallel trial with once-daily treatment over a period of 3 days in 261 male and female subjects aged 44 to 65 years. Electrocardiographic parameters were measured over a 24-hour period at pre-dose, after the first administration, and after the third administration of study medication. Fesoterodine 28 mg was chosen because this dose, when administered to CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers, results in an exposure to the active metabolite that is similar to the exposure in a CYP2D6 poor metabolizer receiving fesoterodine 8 mg together with CYP3A4 blockade. Corrected QT intervals (QTc) were calculated using Fridericia’s correction and a linear individual correction method. Analyses of 24-hour average QTc, time-matched baseline-corrected QTc, and time-matched placebo-subtracted QTc intervals indicate that fesoterodine at doses of 4 and 28 mg/day did not prolong the QT interval. The sensitivity of the study was confirmed by positive QTc prolongation by moxifloxacin. In this study, conducted in subjects aged 44 to 65 years, fesoterodine fumarate was associated with an increase in heart rate that correlates with increasing dose. When compared to placebo, the mean increase in heart rate associated with fesoterodine 4 mg/day and fesoterodine 28 mg/day was 3 beats/minute and 11 beats/minute, respectively. In the two, phase 3, placebo-controlled studies in adult in patients with overactive bladder, the mean increases in heart rate compared to placebo were 3 to 4 beats/minute in the fesoterodine 4 mg/day group and 3 to 5 beats/minute in the fesoterodine 8 mg/day group. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption : After oral administration, fesoterodine is well absorbed. Due to rapid and extensive hydrolysis by nonspecific esterases to its active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, fesoterodine cannot be detected in plasma. Bioavailability of the active metabolite is 52%. After single or multiple-dose oral administration of fesoterodine in doses from 4 mg to 28 mg, plasma concentrations of the active metabolite are proportional to the dose. Maximum plasma levels are reached after approximately 5 hours. No accumulation occurs after multiple-dose administration. A summary of pharmacokinetic parameters for the active metabolite after a single dose of fesoterodine fumarate 4 mg and 8 mg in extensive and poor metabolizers of CYP2D6 is provided in Table 8. Table 8: Summary of geometric mean [CV] pharmacokinetic parameters for the active metabolite after a single dose of fesoterodine fumarate 4 mg and 8 mg in extensive and poor CYP2D6 metabolizers Parameter Fesoterodine Fumarate 4 mg Fesoterodine Fumarate 8 mg EM (N=16) PM (N=8) EM (N=16) PM (N=8) C max (ng/mL) 1.89 [43%] 3.45 [54%] 3.98 [28%] 6.90 [39%] AUC 0-tz (ng*h/mL) 21.2 [38%] 40.5 [31%] 45.3 [32%] 88.7 [36%] t max (h) a 5 [2 to 6] 5 [5 to 6] 5 [3 to 6] 5 [5 to 6] t ½ (h) 7.31 [27%] 7.31 [30%] 8.59 [41%] 7.66 [21%] EM = extensive CYP2D6 metabolizer, PM = poor CYP2D6 metabolizer, CV = coefficient of variation C max = maximum plasma concentration, AUC 0-tz = area under the concentration time curve from zero up to the last measurable plasma concentration, t max = time to reach C max , t ½ = terminal half-life a Data presented as median (range) Effect of Food: There is no clinically relevant effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. In a study of the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine in 16 healthy male volunteers, concomitant food intake increased the active metabolite of fesoterodine AUC by approximately 19% and C max by 18% [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )]. Distribution: Plasma protein binding of the active metabolite is low (approximately 50%) and is primarily bound to albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. The mean steady-state volume of distribution following intravenous infusion of the active metabolite is 169 L. Metabolism: After oral administration, fesoterodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed to its active metabolite. The active metabolite is further metabolized in the liver to its carboxy, carboxy-N-desisopropyl, and N-desisopropyl metabolites via two major pathways involving CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. None of these metabolites contribute significantly to the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine. Variability in CYP2D6 Metabolism : A subset of individuals (approximately 7% of Caucasians and approximately 2% of African Americans) are poor metabolizers for CYP2D6. C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, as compared to extensive metabolizers. Excretion: Hepatic metabolism and renal excretion contribute significantly to the elimination of the active metabolite. After oral administration of fesoterodine, approximately 70% of the administered dose was recovered in urine as the active metabolite (16%), carboxy metabolite (34%), carboxy-N-desisopropyl metabolite (18%), or N-desisopropyl metabolite (1%), and a smaller amount (7%) was recovered in feces. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite is approximately 4 hours following an intravenous administration. The apparent terminal half-life following oral administration is approximately 7 hours. Pharmacokinetics in Specific Populations Geriatric Patients:\ Geriatric Patients: Following a single 8 mg oral dose of fesoterodine, the mean (±SD) AUC and C max for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in 12 elderly men (mean age 67 years) were 51.8 ± 26.1 h*ng/mL and 3.8 ± 1.7 ng/mL, respectively. In the same study, the mean (±SD) AUC and C max in 12 young men (mean age 30 years) were 52 ± 31.5 h*ng/mL and 4.1 ± 2.1 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by age [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5 ) ]. Gender : Following a single 8 mg oral dose of fesoterodine, the mean (±SD) AUC and C max for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in 12 elderly men (mean age 67 years) were 51.8 ± 26.1 h*ng/mL and 3.8 ± 1.7 ng/mL, respectively. In the same study, the mean (±SD) AUC and C max in 12 elderly women (mean age 68 years) were 56 ± 28.8 h*ng/mL and 4.6 ± 2.3 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by gender. Race : The effects of Caucasian or Black race on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were examined in a study of 12 Caucasian and 12 Black African young male volunteers. Each subject received a single oral dose of 8 mg fesoterodine. The mean (±SD) AUC and C max for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in Caucasian males were 73 ± 27.8 h*ng/mL and 6.1 ± 2.7 ng/mL, respectively. The mean (±SD) AUC and C max in Black males were 65.8 ± 23.2 h*ng/mL and 5.5 ± 1.9 ng/mL, respectively . The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by race. Renal Impairment : In patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (CL CR ranging from 30 to 80 mL/min), C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased up to 1.5- and 1.8-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. In patients with severe renal impairment (CL CR <30 mL/min), C max and AUC are increased 2- and 2.3-fold, respectively. [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ), and Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) ]. Hepatic Impairment : In patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment, C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. Subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) have not been studied [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 )]. Drug-Drug Interactions Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450: At therapeutic concentrations, the active metabolite of fesoterodine does not inhibit CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, or 3A4, or induce CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4 in vitro [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.5 ) ]. CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole 200 mg twice a day for 5 days, C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2- and 2.3-fold, respectively, after oral administration of fesoterodine fumarate 8 mg to CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers. In CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2.1- and 2.5-fold, respectively, during coadministration of ketoconazole 200 mg twice a day for 5 days. C max and AUC were 4.5- and 5.7-fold higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and not taking ketoconazole. In a separate study coadministering fesoterodine with ketoconazole 200 mg once a day for 5 days, the C max and AUC values of the active metabolite of fesoterodine were increased 2.2-fold in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and 1.5- and 1.9-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. C max and AUC were 3.4- and 4.2-fold higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and not taking ketoconazole. There is no clinically relevant effect of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. In a drug-drug interaction study evaluating the coadministration of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor fluconazole 200 mg twice a day for 2 days, a single 8 mg dose of fesoterodine was administered 1 hour following the first dose of fluconazole on day 1 of the study. The average (90% confidence interval) for the increase in C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine was approximately 19% (11% to 28%) and 27% (18% to 36%) respectively. The effect of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. cimetidine) was not examined; it is not expected to be in excess of the effect of moderate inhibitors [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 )], Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ), and Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) ]. CYP3A4 Inducers :Following induction of CYP3A4 by coadministration of rifampicin 600 mg once a day, C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine decreased by approximately 70% and 75%, respectively, after oral administration of fesoterodine fumarate 8 mg. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite was not changed. Induction of CYP3A4 may lead to reduced plasma levels. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP3A4 inducers [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.3 ) ]. CYP2D6 Inhibitors :The interaction with CYP2D6 inhibitors was not studied. In poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, representing a maximum CYP2D6 inhibition, C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively. [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.4 ) ]. Oral Contraceptives :Thirty healthy female subjects taking an oral contraceptive containing 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg levonorgestrel were evaluated in a 2-period crossover study. Each subject was randomized to receive concomitant administration of either placebo or fesoterodine 8 mg once daily on days 1 to 14 of hormone cycle for 2 consecutive cycles. Pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel were assessed on day 13 of each cycle. Fesoterodine increased the AUC and C max of ethinyl estradiol by 1 – 3% and decreased the AUC and C max of levonorgestrel by 11 to 13% [ see Drug Interactions (7.6) ]. Warfarin :In a cross-over study in 14 healthy male volunteers (18 to 55 years), a single oral dose of warfarin 25 mg was given either alone or on day 3 of once daily dosing for 9 days with fesoterodine 8 mg. Compared to warfarin alone dosing, the C max and AUC of S-warfarin were lower by ~ 4 %, while the C max and AUC of R-warfarin were lower by approximately 8 % and 6% for the co-administration, suggesting absence of a significant pharmacokinetic interaction. There were no statistically significant changes in the measured pharmacodynamic parameters for anti-coagulant activity of warfarin (INR max , AUC INR ), with only a small decrease noted in INR max of ~ 3 % with the co-administration relative to warfarin alone. INR versus time profiles across individual subjects in the study suggested some differences following co-administration with fesoterodine, although there was no definite trend with regard to the changes noted [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.7 ) ].

Mechanism of action
Information about the established mechanism(s) of the drugÕs action in humans at various levels (for example receptor, membrane, tissue, organ, whole body). If the mechanism of action is not known, this field contains a statement about the lack of information.12.1 Mechanism of Action Fesoterodine is a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist. After oral administration, fesoterodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed by nonspecific esterases to its active metabolite, 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, which is responsible for the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine. Muscarinic receptors play a role in contractions of urinary bladder smooth muscle. Inhibition of these receptors in the bladder is presumed to be the mechanism by which fesoterodine produces its effects.
Pharmacodynamics
Information about any biochemical or physiologic pharmacologic effects of the drug or active metabolites related to the drugÕs clinical effect in preventing, diagnosing, mitigating, curing, or treating disease, or those related to adverse effects or toxicity.12.2 Pharmacodynamics In a urodynamic study involving patients with involuntary detrusor contractions, the effects after the administration of fesoterodine on the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity were assessed. Administration of fesoterodine increased the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity in a dose-dependent manner. These findings are consistent with an antimuscarinic effect on the bladder. Cardiac Electrophysiology : The effect of fesoterodine 4 mg and 28 mg on the QT interval was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo- and positive-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg once a day) parallel trial with once-daily treatment over a period of 3 days in 261 male and female subjects aged 44 to 65 years.

The sensitivity of the study was confirmed by positive QTc prolongation by moxifloxacin. In this study, conducted in subjects aged 44 to 65 years, fesoterodine fumarate was associated with an increase in heart rate that correlates with increasing dose. When compared to placebo, the mean increase in heart rate associated with fesoterodine 4 mg/day and fesoterodine 28 mg/day was 3 beats/minute and 11 beats/minute, respectively. In the two, phase 3, placebo-controlled studies in adult in patients with overactive bladder, the mean increases in heart rate compared to placebo were 3 to 4 beats/minute in the fesoterodine 4 mg/day group and 3 to 5 beats/minute in the fesoterodine 8 mg/day group.
Pharmacokinetics
Information about the clinically significant pharmacokinetics of a drug or active metabolites, for instance pertinent absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion parameters.12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption : After oral administration, fesoterodine is well absorbed. Due to rapid and extensive hydrolysis by nonspecific esterases to its active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, fesoterodine cannot be detected in plasma. Bioavailability of the active metabolite is 52%. After single or multiple-dose oral administration of fesoterodine in doses from 4 mg to 28 mg, plasma concentrations of the active metabolite are proportional to the dose. Maximum plasma levels are reached after approximately 5 hours. No accumulation occurs after multiple-dose administration. A summary of pharmacokinetic parameters for the active metabolite after a single dose of fesoterodine fumarate 4 mg and 8 mg in extensive and poor metabolizers of CYP2D6 is provided in Table 8. Table 8: Summary of geometric mean [CV] pharmacokinetic parameters for the active metabolite after a single dose of fesoterodine fumarate 4 mg and 8 mg in extensive and poor CYP2D6 metabolizers Parameter Fesoterodine Fumarate 4 mg Fesoterodine Fumarate 8 mg EM (N=16) PM (N=8) EM (N=16) PM (N=8) C max (ng/mL) 1.89 [43%] 3.45 [54%] 3.98 [28%] 6.90 [39%] AUC 0-tz (ng*h/mL) 21.2 [38%] 40.5 [31%] 45.3 [32%] 88.7 [36%] t max (h) a 5 [2 to 6] 5 [5 to 6] 5 [3 to 6] 5 [5 to 6] t ½ (h) 7.31 [27%] 7.31 [30%] 8.59 [41%] 7.66 [21%] EM = extensive CYP2D6 metabolizer, PM = poor CYP2D6 metabolizer, CV = coefficient of variation C max = maximum plasma concentration, AUC 0-tz = area under the concentration time curve from zero up to the last measurable plasma concentration, t max = time to reach C max , t ½ = terminal half-life a Data presented as median (range) Effect of Food: There is no clinically relevant effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. In a study of the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine in 16 healthy male volunteers, concomitant food intake increased the active metabolite of fesoterodine AUC by approximately 19% and C max by 18% [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )]. Distribution: Plasma protein binding of the active metabolite is low (approximately 50%) and is primarily bound to albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. The mean steady-state volume of distribution following intravenous infusion of the active metabolite is 169 L. Metabolism: After oral administration, fesoterodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed to its active metabolite. The active metabolite is further metabolized in the liver to its carboxy, carboxy-N-desisopropyl, and N-desisopropyl metabolites via two major pathways involving CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. None of these metabolites contribute significantly to the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine. Variability in CYP2D6 Metabolism : A subset of individuals (approximately 7% of Caucasians and approximately 2% of African Americans) are poor metabolizers for CYP2D6. C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, as compared to extensive metabolizers. Excretion: Hepatic metabolism and renal excretion contribute significantly to the elimination of the active metabolite. After oral administration of fesoterodine, approximately 70% of the administered dose was recovered in urine as the active metabolite (16%), carboxy metabolite (34%), carboxy-N-desisopropyl metabolite (18%), or N-desisopropyl metabolite (1%), and a smaller amount (7%) was recovered in feces. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite is approximately 4 hours following an intravenous administration. The apparent terminal half-life following oral administration is approximately 7 hours. Pharmacokinetics in Specific Populations Geriatric Patients:\ Geriatric Patients: Following a single 8 mg oral dose of fesoterodine, the mean (±SD) AUC and C max for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in 12 elderly men (mean age 67 years) were 51.8 ± 26.1 h*ng/mL and 3.8 ± 1.7 ng/mL, respectively. In the same study, the mean (±SD) AUC and C max in 12 young men (mean age 30 years) were 52 ± 31.5 h*ng/mL and 4.1 ± 2.1 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by age [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5 ) ]. Gender : Following a single 8 mg oral dose of fesoterodine, the mean (±SD) AUC and C max for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in 12 elderly men (mean age 67 years) were 51.8 ± 26.1 h*ng/mL and 3.8 ± 1.7 ng/mL, respectively. In the same study, the mean (±SD) AUC and C max in 12 elderly women (mean age 68 years) were 56 ± 28.8 h*ng/mL and 4.6 ± 2.3 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by gender. Race : The effects of Caucasian or Black race on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were examined in a study of 12 Caucasian and 12 Black African young male volunteers. Each subject received a single oral dose of 8 mg fesoterodine. The mean (±SD) AUC and C max for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in Caucasian males were 73 ± 27.8 h*ng/mL and 6.1 ± 2.7 ng/mL, respectively. The mean (±SD) AUC and C max in Black males were 65.8 ± 23.2 h*ng/mL and 5.5 ± 1.9 ng/mL, respectively . The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by race. Renal Impairment : In patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (CL CR ranging from 30 to 80 mL/min), C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased up to 1.5- and 1.8-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. In patients with severe renal impairment (CL CR <30 mL/min), C max and AUC are increased 2- and 2.3-fold, respectively. [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ), and Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) ]. Hepatic Impairment : In patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment, C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. Subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) have not been studied [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 )]. Drug-Drug Interactions Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450: At therapeutic concentrations, the active metabolite of fesoterodine does not inhibit CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, or 3A4, or induce CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4 in vitro [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.5 ) ]. CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole 200 mg twice a day for 5 days, C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2- and 2.3-fold, respectively, after oral administration of fesoterodine fumarate 8 mg to CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers. In CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2.1- and 2.5-fold, respectively, during coadministration of ketoconazole 200 mg twice a day for 5 days. C max and AUC were 4.5- and 5.7-fold higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and not taking ketoconazole. In a separate study coadministering fesoterodine with ketoconazole 200 mg once a day for 5 days, the C max and AUC values of the active metabolite of fesoterodine were increased 2.2-fold in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and 1.5- and 1.9-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. C max and AUC were 3.4- and 4.2-fold higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and not taking ketoconazole. There is no clinically relevant effect of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. In a drug-drug interaction study evaluating the coadministration of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor fluconazole 200 mg twice a day for 2 days, a single 8 mg dose of fesoterodine was administered 1 hour following the first dose of fluconazole on day 1 of the study. The average (90% confidence interval) for the increase in C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine was approximately 19% (11% to 28%) and 27% (18% to 36%) respectively. The effect of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. cimetidine) was not examined; it is not expected to be in excess of the effect of moderate inhibitors [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 )], Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ), and Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) ]. CYP3A4 Inducers :Following induction of CYP3A4 by coadministration of rifampicin 600 mg once a day, C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine decreased by approximately 70% and 75%, respectively, after oral administration of fesoterodine fumarate 8 mg. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite was not changed. Induction of CYP3A4 may lead to reduced plasma levels. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP3A4 inducers [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.3 ) ]. CYP2D6 Inhibitors :The interaction with CYP2D6 inhibitors was not studied. In poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, representing a maximum CYP2D6 inhibition, C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively. [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.4 ) ]. Oral Contraceptives :Thirty healthy female subjects taking an oral contraceptive containing 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg levonorgestrel were evaluated in a 2-period crossover study. Each subject was randomized to receive concomitant administration of either placebo or fesoterodine 8 mg once daily on days 1 to 14 of hormone cycle for 2 consecutive cycles. Pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel were assessed on day 13 of each cycle. Fesoterodine increased the AUC and C max of ethinyl estradiol by 1 – 3% and decreased the AUC and C max of levonorgestrel by 11 to 13% [ see Drug Interactions (7.6) ]. Warfarin :In a cross-over study in 14 healthy male volunteers (18 to 55 years), a single oral dose of warfarin 25 mg was given either alone or on day 3 of once daily dosing for 9 days with fesoterodine 8 mg. Compared to warfarin alone dosing, the C max and AUC of S-warfarin were lower by ~ 4 %, while the C max and AUC of R-warfarin were lower by approximately 8 % and 6% for the co-administration, suggesting absence of a significant pharmacokinetic interaction. There were no statistically significant changes in the measured pharmacodynamic parameters for anti-coagulant activity of warfarin (INR max , AUC INR ), with only a small decrease noted in INR max of ~ 3 % with the co-administration relative to warfarin alone. INR versus time profiles across individual subjects in the study suggested some differences following co-administration with fesoterodine, although there was no definite trend with regard to the changes noted [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.7 ) ].

Information from human data about such potential is part of the warnings field.13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility Carcinogenicity No evidence of drug-related carcinogenicity was found in 24 month studies with oral administration to mice and rats. The highest tolerated doses in mice (females 45 to 60 mg/kg/day, males 30 to 45 mg/kg/day) correspond to 11 to 19 times (females) and 4 to 9 times (males) the estimated human AUC values reached with fesoterodine 8 mg, which is the Maximum Recommended Human Dose (MRHD). In rats, the highest tolerated dose (45 to 60 mg/kg/day) corresponds to 3 to 8 times (females) and 3 to 14 times (males) the estimated human AUC at the MRHD. Mutagenesis Fesoterodine was not mutagenic or genotoxic in vitro (Ames tests, chromosome aberration tests) or in vivo (mouse micronucleus test). Impairment of Fertility Fesoterodine had no effect on male reproductive function or fertility at doses up to 45 mg/kg/day in mice. At 45 mg/kg/day, a lower number of corpora lutea, implantation sites and viable fetuses was observed in female mice administered fesoterodine for 2 weeks prior to mating and continuing through day 7 of gestation. The maternal No-Observed-Effect Level (NOEL) and the NOEL for effects on reproduction and early embryonic development were both 15 mg/kg/day. At the NOEL, the systemic exposure, based on AUC, was 0.6 to 1.5 times higher in mice than in humans at the MRHD, whereas based on peak plasma concentrations, the exposure in mice was 5 to 9 times higher.

Clinical studies
This field may contain references to clinical studies in place of detailed discussion in other sections of the labeling.14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Adult Overactive Bladder The efficacy of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets was evaluated in two, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week studies for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency. Entry criteria required that patients have symptoms of overactive bladder for ≥ 6-months duration, at least 8 micturitions per day, and at least 6 urinary urgency episodes or 3 urge incontinence episodes per 3-day diary period. Patients were randomized to a fixed dose of fesoterodine fumarate 4 or 8 mg/day or placebo. In one of these studies, 290 patients were randomized to an active control arm (an oral antimuscarinic agent). For the combined studies, a total of 554 patients received placebo, 554 patients received fesoterodine fumarate 4 mg/day, and 566 patients received fesoterodine fumarate 8 mg/day. The majority of patients were Caucasian (91%) and female (79%) with a mean age of 58 years (range 19 to 91 years). The primary efficacy endpoints were the mean change in the number of urge urinary incontinence episodes per 24 hours and the mean change in the number of micturitions (frequency) per 24 hours. An important secondary endpoint was the mean change in the voided volume per micturition. Results for the primary endpoints and for mean change in voided volume per micturition from the two 12 week clinical studies of fesoterodine fumarate are reported in Table 10.

In Study 2, the number of these patients was 205, 228, and 218, respectively. Figures 1-4: The following figures show change from baseline over time in number of micturitions and urge urinary incontinence episodes per 24 h in the two studies. A reduction in number of urge urinary incontinence episodes per 24 hours was observed for both doses as compared to placebo as early as two weeks after starting fesoterodine fumarate therapy.

Geriatric use
Information about any limitations on any geriatric indications, needs for specific monitoring, hazards associated with use of the drug in the geriatric population.8.5 Geriatric Use No dose adjustment is recommended for the elderly. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine are not significantly influenced by age. Of the 1,567 patients who received fesoterodine fumarate 4 mg or 8 mg orally once daily in Phase 2 and 3, placebo-controlled, efficacy and safety studies for OAB, 515 (33%) were 65 years of age or older, and 140 (9%) were 75 years of age or older. No overall difference in effectiveness was observed between patients younger than 65 years of age and those 65 years of age or older in these studies; However, the incidence of antimuscarinic adverse reactions, including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, increase in residual urine, dizziness (at 8 mg only) and urinary tract infection, was higher in patients 75 years of age and older as compared to younger patients [ see Clinical Studies (14.1) and Adverse Reactions ( 6 )].
Pediatric use
Information about any limitations on any pediatric indications, needs for specific monitoring, hazards associated with use of the drug in any subsets of the pediatric population (such as neonates, infants, children, or adolescents), differences between pediatric and adult responses to the drug, and other information related to the safe and effective pediatric use of the drug.8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of fesoterodine fumarate have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 6 years of age or weighing 25 kg or less. Pediatric use information is approved for Pfizer Inc.’s TOVIAZ® (fesoterodine fumarate) extended-release tablets. However, due to Pfizer Inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information.
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 available data with the use of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in pregnant women and adolescents to evaluate for a drug associated risk of major birth defects or miscarriage, adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of fesoterodine to pregnant mice and rabbits during organogenesis resulted in fetotoxicity at maternal exposures that were 6 and 3 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 mg/day based on AUC (see Data). The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. However, 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 No dose-related teratogenicity was observed in reproduction studies performed in mice and rabbits. In mice at 6 to 27 times the expected exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 mg based on AUC (75 mg/kg/day, oral), increased resorptions and decreased live fetuses were observed. One fetus with cleft palate was observed at each dose (15, 45, and 75 mg/kg/day), at an incidence within the background historical range. In rabbits treated at 3 to 11 times the MRHD (27 mg/kg/day, oral), incompletely ossified sternebrae (retardation of bone development) and reduced survival were observed in fetuses. In rabbits at 9 to 11 times the MRHD (4.5 mg/kg/day, subcutaneous), maternal toxicity and incompletely ossified sternebrae were observed in fetuses (at an incidence within the background historical range). In rabbits at 3 times the MRHD (1.5 mg/kg/day, subcutaneous), decreased maternal food consumption in the absence of any fetal effects was observed. Oral administration of 30 mg/kg/day fesoterodine to mice in a pre- and post-natal development study resulted in decreased body weight of the dams and delayed ear opening of the pups. No effects were noted on mating and reproduction of the F 1 dams or on the F 2 offspring.
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 available data with the use of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in pregnant women and adolescents to evaluate for a drug associated risk of major birth defects or miscarriage, adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.

No effects were noted on mating and reproduction of the F 1 dams or on the F 2 offspring. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There is no information on the presence of fesoterodine fumarate in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for fesoterodine fumarate and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from fesoterodine fumarate or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of fesoterodine fumarate have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 6 years of age or weighing 25 kg or less. Pediatric use information is approved for Pfizer Inc.’s TOVIAZ® (fesoterodine fumarate) extended-release tablets. However, due to Pfizer Inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. 8.5 Geriatric Use No dose adjustment is recommended for the elderly.

Doses of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets greater than 4 mg are not recommended in adult patients with severe renal impairment. In patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (CL CR ranging from 30 to 80 mL/min), C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased up to 1.5- and 1.8-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) ]. Pediatric use information is approved for Pfizer Inc.’s TOVIAZ® (fesoterodine fumarate) extended-release tablets. However, due to Pfizer Inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) have not been studied; therefore fesoterodine fumarate is not recommended for use in these patients. In patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment, C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].
