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.ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions associated with the use of sacrosidase were identified in clinical studies or postmarketing 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. In clinical studies of up to 54 months duration, a total of 52 patients were treated with Sucraid. The reported adverse reactions (number of patients) were as follows: abdominal pain (4), vomiting (3), nausea (2), diarrhea (2), constipation (2), insomnia (1), headache (1), nervousness (1), and dehydration (1). Hypersensitivity reactions (wheezing, rash, and pruritis) have been reported (see WARNINGS).
Sucraid 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.Drug Interactions Fruit Juice The acidity in fruit juice may reduce the enzyme activity in Sucraid. Administration of Sucraid with liquids other than water, milk, or infant formula has not been studied and is not recommended (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, Administration Instructions).
Clinical pharmacology
Information about the clinical pharmacology and actions of the drug in humans.CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is a chronic, autosomal recessive, inherited, phenotypically heterogeneous disease with very variable enzyme activity. CSID is usually characterized by a complete or almost complete lack of endogenous sucrase activity, a very marked reduction in isomaltase activity, and a moderate decrease in maltase activity. Sucrase is naturally produced in the brush border of the small intestine, primarily the distal duodenum and jejunum. Sucrase hydrolyzes the disaccharide sucrose into its component monosaccharides, glucose and fructose. Isomaltase breaks down disaccharides from starch into simple sugars. Sucraid does not contain isomaltase. In the absence of endogenous human sucrase, as in CSID, sucrose is not metabolized. Unhydrolyzed sucrose and starch are not absorbed from the intestine and their presence in the intestinal lumen may lead to osmotic retention of water. This may result in loose stools. Unabsorbed sucrose in the colon is fermented by bacterial flora to produce increased amounts of hydrogen, methane, and water. As a consequence, excessive gas, bloating, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may occur. Chronic malabsorption of disaccharides may result in malnutrition. Undiagnosed/untreated CSID patients often fail to thrive and fall behind in their expected growth and development curves. Previously, the treatment of CSID has required the continual use of a strict sucrose-free diet.
Contraindications
Information about situations in which the drug product is contraindicated or should not be used because the risk of use clearly outweighs any possible benefit, including the type and nature of reactions that have been reported.CONTRAINDICATIONS Sucraid is contraindicated in patients known to be hypersensitive to yeast, yeast products, glycerin (glycerol), or papain (see WARNINGS).
Description
General information about the drug product, including the proprietary and established name of the drug, the type of dosage form and route of administration to which the label applies, qualitative and quantitative ingredient information, the pharmacologic or therapeutic class of the drug, and the chemical name and structural formula of the drug.DESCRIPTION Sacrosidase is an enzyme with the chemical name of β,D-fructofuranoside fructohydrolase. The enzyme is derived from baker’s yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ). It has been reported that the primary amino acid structure of this protein consists of 513 amino acids with an apparent molecular weight of 100,000 Da for the glycosylated monomer (range 66,000- 116,000 Da). Reports also suggest that the protein exists in solution as a monomer, dimer, tetramer, and octomer ranging from 100,000 Da to 800,000 Da. It has an isoelectric point (pI) of 4.5. Sucraid ® (sacrosidase) Oral Solution is an oral enzyme replacement therapy. Sucraid is a pale yellow to colorless, clear solution with a pleasant, sweet taste. Each milliliter (mL) of Sucraid contains 8,500 International Units (I.U.) of the enzyme sacrosidase, the active ingredient. Sucraid may contain small amounts of papain (see WARNINGS). Papain is a protein-cleaving enzyme that is introduced in the manufacturing process to digest the cell wall of the yeast and may not be completely removed during subsequent process steps. Sucraid contains sacrosidase in a vehicle comprised of glycerin, water, citric acid, and sodium hydroxide to maintain the pH at 4.0 to 4.7. Glycerol (glycerin) in the amount consumed in the recommended doses of Sucraid has no expected toxicity. This enzyme preparation is fully soluble with water, milk, and infant formula. DO NOT HEAT SOLUTIONS CONTAINING SUCRAID. Do not put Sucraid in warm or hot liquids (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, Administration Instructions).

Clinical studies
This field may contain references to clinical studies in place of detailed discussion in other sections of the labeling.CLINICAL STUDIES A two-phase (dose response preceded by a breath hydrogen phase) double-blind, multi-site, crossover trial was conducted in 28 pediatric patients (approximately 5 months to 12 years of age) with confirmed CSID. During the dose response phase, the patients were challenged with an ordinary sucrose-containing diet while receiving each of four doses of sacrosidase: full strength (9000 I.U./mL) and three dilutions (1:10 [900 I.U./mL], 1:100 [90 I.U./mL], and 1:1000 [9 I.U./mL]) in random order for a period of 10 days. Patients who weighed no more than 15 kg received 1 mL per meal; those weighing more than 15 kg received 2 mL per meal. The dose did not vary with age or sucrose intake. A dose-response relationship was shown between the two higher and the two lower doses. The two higher doses of sacrosidase were associated with significantly fewer total stools and higher proportions of patients having lower total symptom scores, the primary efficacy end-points. In addition, higher doses of sacrosidase were associated with a significantly greater number of hard and formed stools as well as with fewer watery and soft stools, the secondary efficacy end-points. Analysis of the overall symptomatic response as a function of age indicated that in CSID pediatric patients up to 3 years of age, 86% became asymptomatic. In pediatric patients over 3 years of age, 77% became asymptomatic. Thus, the therapeutic response did not differ significantly according to pediatric age. A second study of similar design and execution as the first used 4 different dilutions of sacrosidase: 1:100 (90 I.U./mL), 1:1000 (9 I.U./mL), 1:10,000 (0.9 I.U./mL), and 1:100,000 (0.09 I.U./mL). There were inconsistent results with regards to the primary efficacy parameters. In both trials, however, pediatric patients showed a marked decrease in breath hydrogen output when they received sacrosidase in comparison to placebo. The effects of Sucraid have not been evaluated in patients with secondary (acquired) sucrase deficiency.
Geriatric use

Precautions
Information about any special care to be exercised for safe and effective use of the drug.PRECAUTIONS Increased Blood Glucose Concentrations in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Sucraid enables the products of sucrose hydrolysis, glucose and fructose, to be absorbed and may increase blood glucose concentrations. Monitor blood glucose concentrations and adjust the diet accordingly for patients with diabetes mellitus. Dietary Starch Restriction Sucraid does not replace isomaltase. Therefore, patients may still experience symptoms of CSID while taking Sucraid. Consider dietary starch restriction in addition to Sucraid, especially in patients in whom symptoms are not adequately controlled by Sucraid. Information for Patients See Patient Package Insert and the Instructions for Use. Drug Interactions Fruit Juice The acidity in fruit juice may reduce the enzyme activity in Sucraid. Administration of Sucraid with liquids other than water, milk, or infant formula has not been studied and is not recommended (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, Administration Instructions). Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Long-term studies in animals with Sucraid have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential. Studies to evaluate the effect of Sucraid on fertility or its mutagenic potential have not been performed. Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Sucraid. Sucraid is not expected to cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or to affect reproductive capacity. Sucraid should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Nursing Mothers The Sucraid enzyme is broken down in the stomach and intestines, and the component amino acids and peptides are then absorbed as nutrients. Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Sucraid for the treatment of sucrase deficiency, which is part of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID), have been established in pediatric patients aged 5 months and older. Use of Sucraid for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in pediatric patients (see CLINICAL STUDIES and ADVERSE REACTIONS). Geriatric Use Clinical trials of Sucraid did not include patients 65 years of age and older to determine if they respond differently from younger adult patients.
Warnings
Information about serious adverse reactions and potential safety hazards, including limitations in use imposed by those hazards and steps that should be taken if they occur.WARNINGS Severe Hypersensitivity Reactions Severe hypersensitivity reactions, including wheezing, rash, and pruritis, have been reported with administration of Sucraid. Sucraid contains papain, which is associated with hypersensitivity reactions (see DESCRIPTION). A pediatric patient in the clinical trials experienced a hypersensitivity reaction of severe wheezing that required hospitalization. Postmarketing cases of cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions have also been reported.
