Overdosage of NATEGLINIDE
Information about signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings of acute ovedosage and the general principles of overdose treatment.10 OVERDOSAGE There have been no instances of overdose with nateglinide in clinical trials. However, an overdose may result in an exaggerated glucose-lowering effect with the development of hypoglycemic symptoms. Hypoglycemic symptoms without loss of consciousness or neurological findings should be treated with oral glucose and adjustments in dosage and/or meal patterns. Severe hypoglycemic reactions with coma, seizure, or other neurological symptoms should be treated with intravenous glucose. As nateglinide are highly protein bound, dialysis is not an efficient means of removing it from the blood.
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 serious adverse reaction is also described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypoglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5. 1) ] 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. In clinical trials, approximately 2,600 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were treated with nateglinide. Of these, approximately 1,335 patients were treated for 6 months or longer and approximately 190 patients for one year or longer. Table 1 shows the most common adverse reactions associated with nateglinide.

Non-severe hypoglycemia occurred in 2.4 % of nateglinide tablets treated patients and 0.4 % of placebo treated patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Weight Gain Patients treated with nateglinide tablets had statistically significant mean increases in weight compared to placebo. In clinical trials, the mean weight increases with nateglinide tablets 60 mg (3 times daily) and nateglinide tablets 120 mg (3 times daily) compared to placebo were 1.0 kg and 1.6 kg respectively. Laboratory Test Increases in Uric Acid: There were increases in mean uric acid levels for patients treated with nateglinide tablets alone, nateglinide tablets in combination with metformin, metformin alone, and glyburide alone. The respective differences from placebo were 0.29 mg/dl, 0.45 m9/dl, 0.28 m9/dl, and 0.19 mg/dl. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of nateglinide 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. Hypersensitivity reactions: Rash, itching, and urticaria Hepatobiliary Disorders: Jaundice, cholestatic hepatitis, and elevated liver enzymes

Clinical pharmacology
Information about the clinical pharmacology and actions of the drug in humans.12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Nateglinide lowers blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas. This action is dependent upon functioning beta-cells in the pancreatic islets. Nateglinide interacts with the ATP-sensitive potassium (K + ATP ) channel on pancreatic beta-cells. The subsequent depolarization of the beta cell opens the calcium channel, producing calcium influx and insulin secretion. The extent of insulin release is glucose dependent and diminishes at low glucose levels. Nateglinide is highly tissue selective with low affinity for heart and skeletal muscle. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Nateglinide tablets stimulates pancreatic insulin secretion within 20 minutes of oral administration. When nateglinide tablets are dosed before meals, the peak rise in plasma insulin occurs approximately 1 hour after dosing and falls to baseline by 4 hours after dosing. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics In patients with Type 2 diabetes, multiple dose administration of nateglinide over the dosage range of 60 mg to 240 mg shows linear pharmacokinetics for both AUC and C MAX . In patients with Type 2 diabetes, there is no apparent accumulation of nateglinide upon multiple dosing of up to 240 mg three times daily for 7 days. Absorption Absolute bioavailability of nateglinide is approximately 73%. Plasma profiles are characterized by multiple plasma concentration peaks when nateglinide is administered under fasting conditions. This effect is diminished when nateglinide is taken prior to a meal. Following oral administration immediately prior to a meal, the mean peak plasma nateglinide concentrations (C MAX ) generally occur within 1 hour (T MAX ) after dosing. T MAX is independent of dose. The pharmacokinetics of nateglinide are not affected by the composition of a meal (high protein, fat, or carbohydrate). However, peak plasma levels are significantly reduced when nateglinide tablets are administered 10 minutes prior to a liquid meal as compared to solid meal. When given with or after meals, the extent of nateglinide absorption (AUC) remains unaffected. However, there is a delay in the rate of absorption characterized by a decrease in C MAX and a delay in time to peak plasma concentration (T MAX ). Nateglinide tablets did not have any effect on gastric emptying in healthy subjects as assessed by acetaminophen testing. Distribution Following intravenous (IV) administration of nateglinide, the steady-state volume of distribution of nateglinide is estimated to be approximately 10 L in healthy subjects. Nateglinide is extensively bound (98%) to serum proteins, primarily serum albumin, and to a lesser extent a acid glycoprotein. The extent of serum protein binding is independent of drug concentration over the test range of 0.1 to 10 mcg/ml. Elimination In healthy volunteers and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, nateglinide plasma concentrations declined with an average elimination half-life of approximately 1.5 hours. Metabolism In vitro drug metabolism studies indicate that nateglinide tablets are predominantly metabolized by the cytochrome P450 isozyme CYP2C9 (70%) and to a lesser extent CYP3A4 (30%). The major routes of metabolism are hydroxylation followed by glucuronide conjugation. The major metabolites are less potent antidiabetic agents than nateglinide. The isoprene minor metabolite possesses potency similar to that of the parent compound nateglinide. Excretion Nateglinide and its metabolites are rapidly and completely eliminated following oral administration. Eighty-three percent of the 14c_nateglinide was excreted in the urine with an additional 10% eliminated in the feces. Approximately 16% of the 14c_Nateglinide was excreted in the urine as parent compound. Specific Populations Renal Impairment No pharmacokinetic data are available in subjects with mild renal impairment (CrCI 60 to 89 mL/min). Compared to healthy matched subjects, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and moderate and severe renal impairment (CrCl 15 to 50 mL/min) not on dialysis displayed similar apparent clearance, AUG, and C MAX . Patients with type 2 diabetes and renal failure on dialysis exhibited reduced overall drug exposure (C MAX decreased by 49%; not statistically significant). However, hemodialysis patients also experienced reductions in plasma protein binding compared to the matched healthy volunteers. In a cohort of 8 patients with type 2 diabetes and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73m 2 ) M1 metabolite accumulation up to 1.2 ng/mL occurred with a dosage of 90 mg once daily for 1 to 3 months. In another cohort of 8 patients with type 2 diabetes on hemodialysis, M 1 concentration decreased after a single session of hemodialysis. Although the hypoglycemic activity of the M1 metabolite is approximately 5 times lower than nateglinide, metabolite accumulation may increase the hypoglycemic effect of the administered dose. Hepatic Impairment In patients with mild hepatic impairment, the mean increase in C MAX and AUC of nateglinide were 37% and 30 % respectively, as compared to healthy matched control subjects. There is no data on pharmacokinetics of nateglinide tablets in patients with moderate-to-severe hepatic impairment. Gender No clinically significant differences in nateglinide pharmacokinetics were observed between men and women. Race Results of a population pharmacokinetic analysis including subjects of Caucasian, Black, and other ethnic origins suggest that race has little influence on the pharmacokinetics of nateglinide. Age Age does not influence the pharmacokinetic properties of nateglinide. Drug Interactions: In vitro assessment of drug interactions Nateglinide is a potential inhibitor of the CYP2C9 isoenzyme in viva as indicated by its ability to inhibit the in vitro metabolism of tolbutamide. Inhibition of CYP3A4 metabolic reactions was not detected in in vitro experiments. In vitro displacement studies with highly protein-bound drugs such as furosemide, propranolol, captopril, nicardipine, pravastatin, glyburide, warfarin, phenytoin, acetylsalicylic acid, tolbutamide, and metformin showed no influence on the extent of nateglinide protein binding. Similarly, nateglinide had no influence on the serum protein binding of propranolol, glyburide, nicardipine, warfarin, phenytoin, acetylsalicylic acid, and tolbutamide in vitro. However, prudent evaluation of individual cases is warranted in the clinical setting. In vivo assessment of drug interactions The effect of coadministered drugs on the pharmacokinetics of nateglinide and the effect of nateglinide on pharmacokinetics of coadministered drugs are shown in Tables 3 and 4. No clinically relevant change in pharmacokinetic parameters of either agent was reported when nateglinide was coadministered with glyburide, metformin, digoxin, warfarin, and diclofenac.

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 Monotherapy In a 24-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to receive either nateglinide tablets (60 mg or 120 mg three times daily before meals) or placebo. Patients previously treated with antidiabetic medications were required to discontinue that medication for at least 2 months before randomization. At Week 24, treatment with nateglinide tablets before meals resulted in statistically significant reductions in mean HbA1C and mean fasting plasma glucose (FPG) compared to placebo (see Table 5 ). The reductions in HbA1C and FPG were similar for patient's naive to, and those previously exposed to, antidiabetic medications.

Patients randomized to nateglinide tablets had statistically significant increases in mean HbA1C and mean FPG at endpoint compared to patients randomized to glyburide. Table 6: Endpoint Results for a 24-week Study of Nateglinide Monotherapy Compared to Glyburide Glyburide 10 mg Once daily Nateglinide 60 mg three times daily before meals Nateglinide 120 mg three times daily before meals HbA 1C (%) N=183 N=178 N=179 Baseline (mean) 7.8 8.0 7.9 Change from baseline (mean) 0.3 1.3 1.1 Difference from glyburide 1.0 p-value <0.001 0.9 FPG(mmol/L) N=184 N=182 N=180 Baseline (mean) 9.44 9.67 9.61 Change from baseline (mean) 0.19 3.06 2.84 Difference from glyburide 2.87 2.66 14.3 Monotherapy and In Combination With Metformin In a 24-week, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled study, patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to receive either nateglinide alone (120 mg three times daily before meals), metformin alone (500 mg three times daily), a combination of nateglinide tablets 120 mg (three times daily before meals) and metformin (500 mg three times daily), or placebo. Fifty-seven percent of patients were previously untreated with oral antidiabetic therapy. Patients previously treated with antidiabetic medications were required to discontinue medication for at least 2 months before randomization. At Week 24, statistically significant reductions in mean HbA1c and FPG were observed with metformin monotherapy compared to nateglinide tablets monotherapy, and the combination of nateglinide tablets and metformin compared to either nateglinide tablets or metformin monotherapy (see Table 7 ). Compared to placebo, nateglinide monotherapy was associated with a statistically significant increase in mean body weight, while no significant change in body weight was observed with metformin monotherapy or combination of nateglinide and metformin therapy (see Table 7 ). Among the subset of patients previously treated with other antidiabetic agents, primarily glyburide, HbA1C in the nateglinide monotherapy group increased slightly from baseline, whereas HbA1C was reduced in the metformin monotherapy group (see Table 7 ). Table 7: Endpoint results for a 24-week study of Nateglinide Monotherapy and Combination with Metformin Placebo Nateglinide 120 mg three times daily Metformin 500 mg three times daily Nateglinide 120 mg before meals plus Metformin Metformin was administered three times daily HbA1C(%) All N=160 N=171 N=172 N=162 Baseline (mean) 8.3 8.3 8.4 8.4 Change from baseline (mean) +0.4 -0.4 p-value≤0.03 vs. metformin p-value≤0.05 vs. combination -0.8 -1.5 Difference from placebo -0.8 p-value≤0.05 vs. placebo -1.2 -1.9 Naïve N=98 N=99 N=98 N=81 Baseline (mean) 8.2 8.1 8.3 8.2 Change from baseline (mean) +0.3 -0.7 -0.8 -1.6 Difference from placebo -1.0 -1.1 -1.9 Non-Naïve N=62 N=72 N=74 N=81 Baseline (mean) 8.3 8.5 8.7 8.7 Change from baseline (mean) +0.6 +0.004 -0.8 -1.4 Difference from placebo -0.6 -1.4a -2.0 FPG (mg/dL) All N=166 N=173 N=174 N=167 Baseline (mean) 194.0 196.5 196.0 197.7 Change from baseline (mean) +8.0 -13.1 -30.0 -44.9 Difference from placebo -21.1 -38.0 -52.9 In another 24-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, patients with type 2 diabetes with HbA1C greater than or equal to 6.8% after treatment with metformin (greater than or equal to 1,500 mg daily for at least 1 month) were first entered into a four week run-in period of metformin monotherapy (2,000 mg daily) and then randomized to receive either nateglinide tablets (60 mg or 120 mg three limes daily before meals) or placebo as add-on to metformin. At the end of treatment, nateglinide tablets 60 mg and 120 mg three times daily resulted in a statistically significantly greater reductions in HbA1C compared to placebo when added to metformin (-0.4% and -0.6% for nateglinide tablets 60 mg and nateglinide tablets 120 mg plus metformin, respectively). Table 8: Endpoint Results for a 24-week Study of Nateglinide Monotherapy as Add-on to Metformin Placebo + 006Detformin Nateglinide 60 mg + metformin Nateglinide 120 mg + metformin HbA 1C (%) N=150 N=152 N=154 Baseline (mean) 8.2 8.0 8.2 Change from baseline (mean) 0.01 -0.4 -0.6 Difference from metformin -0.4 p-value 0.003 vs. metformin -0.6 p-value < 0.001 vs. metformin All nateglinide /placebo taken three times daily before meals; all metformin 1,000 mg twice daily. 14.4 Add-On Combination Therapy With Rosiglitazone A 24-week, double blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial was performed in patients with type 2 diabetes not adequately controlled on rosiglitazone 8 mg daily. The addition of nateglinide (120 mg three times per day with meals) was associated with statistically significantly greater reductions in HbA1C compared to placebo as add-on to rosiglitazone. The mean change in weight from baseline was +3 kg for patients treated with nateglinide tablets compared to +1 kg for patients treated with placebo when added to rosiglitazone. Table 9: Endpoint Results for a 24-week Study of the Effect of Adding Nategllnlde or Placebo to Rosiglitazone Placebo + roalglitazone 8 mg once daily Nateglinide 120 mg before meals + rosiglitazone 8 mg once daily HbA 1C (%) N=191 N=194 Baseline (mean) 8.4 8.3 Change from baseline (mean) 0.03 -0.7 Difference from rosiglitazone (mean) -0.7 p-value≤0.0001 14.5 Add-On Combination Therapy With Glyburide In a 12-week study of patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on glyburide 10 mg once daily, the addition of nateglinide (60 mg or 120 mg three times daily before meals) did not produce any additional benefit.

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 436 patients 65 years and older, and 80 patients 75 years and older were exposed to nateglinide in clinical studies. No differences were observed in safety or efficacy of nateglinide tablets between patients age 65 and over, and those under age 65. However, greater sensitivity of some older individuals to nateglinide tablets therapy cannot be ruled out.
Nursing mothers
Information about excretion of the drug in human milk and effects on the nursing infant, including pertinent adverse effects observed in animal offspring.8.3 Nursing Mothers It is not known whether nateglinide is excreted in human milk. Nateglinide is excreted in rat milk. Offspring of rats exposed to 1,000 mg/kg nateglinide (approximately 27 times the human therapeutic exposure of 120 mg three times daily, based on body surface area) had lower body weight. Because the potential for hypoglycemia in nursing infants may exist, a decision should be made as to whether nateglinide should be discontinued in nursing mothers, or if mothers should discontinue nursing.
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 nateglinide have not been established in pediatric patients.
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 There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of nateglinide in pregnant women. It is unknown whether nateglinide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Nateglinide tablets should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. In the rabbit, embryonic development was adversely affected and the incidence of gall bladder agenesis or small gallbladder was increased at a dose of 500 mg/kg (approximately 27 times the human therapeutic exposure of 120 mg three times daily, based on body surface area). Nateglinide was not teratogenic in rats at doses up to 1,000 mg/kg (approximately 27 times the human therapeutic exposure based on body surface area).
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 There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of nateglinide in pregnant women. It is unknown whether nateglinide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Nateglinide tablets should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
