Summary of product characteristics


Indications And Usage

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE JEUVEAU is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients. JEUVEAU is an acetylcholine release inhibitor and a neuromuscular blocking agent indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients ( 1 )

Adverse Reactions

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: • Spread of Toxin Effects [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ] • Hypersensitivity [ see Contraindications ( 4.1 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ) ] • Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties [ See Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 ) ] The most common adverse reactions are headache (12%), eyelid ptosis (2%), upper respiratory tract infection (3%), and increased white blood cell count (1%) ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Evolus at [1-877-386-5871] 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, the 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 clinical practice. In general, most adverse reactions occur within the first week following injection of JEUVEAU and while generally transient, may have a duration of several months or longer. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, erythema, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection. Needle-related pain and/or anxiety may result in vasovagal responses, including syncope and hypotension, which may require appropriate medical therapy. Local weakness of the injected muscle(s) represents the expected pharmacological action of botulinum toxin. However, weakness of nearby muscles may also occur due to spread of toxin effect [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ]. Glabellar Lines The adverse reactions below reflect exposure to JEUVEAU in the treatment of glabellar lines in placebo-controlled trials [ See Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ]. Table 2. Adverse Reactions Reported at Higher Frequency (≥1%) in the JEUVEAU Group Compared to the Placebo Group JEUVEAU EV-001, EV-002 N=492 n (%) PLACEBO EV-001, EV-002, N=162 n (%) Headache 57 (12%) 21 (13%) Eyelid Ptosis 8 (2%) 0 (0%) Upper Respiratory Tract Infection 13 (3%) 1 (1%) White blood cell count increase 6 (1%) 0 (0%) Two multi-center, open label, 1-year repeat dose safety trials, EV-004 [NCT02184988] and EV-006 [NCT02428608], were also conducted with JEUVEAU. Both trials evaluated repeat treatments of 20 units of JEUVEAU, up to a maximum total of 80 units, for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adult subjects. Of the 922 subjects enrolled, the median number of treatments was three. The adverse events profile was similar to that reported in single dose trials. 6.2 Immunogenicity As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs in the studies described below, with the incidence of antibodies in other studies, or to other products may be misleading. Treatment with botulinum toxins may result in the formation of antibodies that may reduce the effectiveness of subsequent treatments by inactivating biological activity of the toxin. Among 1,414 subjects treated with prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs, 2 subjects were found to have pre-existing antibodies and 2 subjects had treatment-emergent antibodies.

Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS • Hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation ( 4.1 ) • Infection at the injection site ( 4.2 ) 4.1 Known Hypersensitivity to Botulinum Toxin JEUVEAU is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation [ See Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ) ]. 4.2 Infection at the Injection Site(s) JEUVEAU is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s).

Description

11 DESCRIPTION PrabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs is an acetylcholine release inhibitor and a neuromuscular blocking agent. PrabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs is supplied as a sterile, vacuum-dried powder in a single-dose vial intended for intramuscular use after reconstitution. PrabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs is a 900 kDa botulinum toxin type A, produced from fermentation of Clostridium botulinum . The primary release procedure for JEUVEAU uses an animal based potency assay to determine the potency relative to a reference standard. The assay is specific to Evolus’ product, JEUVEAU. One Unit of JEUVEAU corresponds to the calculated median intraperitoneal lethal dose (LD 50 ) in mice. Due to specific details of this assay, Units of biological activity of JEUVEAU cannot be converted into Units of any other botulinum toxin or any toxin assessed with any other specific assay method. Each vial of JEUVEAU (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) for injection contains 100 Units of botulinum toxin type A neurotoxin complex, human serum albumin (0.5 mg), and sodium chloride (0.9 mg) in a sterile, vacuum-dried form without a preservative.

Dosage And Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Glabellar Lines Administration: 0.1 mL (4 Units) by intramuscular injection into each of five sites, for a total dose of 20 Units ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) 2.1 Instructions for Safe Use The potency Units of JEUVEAU (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) for injection are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. They are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products and, therefore, units of biological activity of JEUVEAU cannot be compared to nor converted into units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Description ( 11 ) ]. Retreatment of JEUVEAU should be administered no more frequently than every three months. Consideration of the cumulative dose is necessary when treating adult patients with JEUVEAU for glabellar lines if other botulinum toxin products are or have been used to treat other indications approved for those products. The safe and effective use of JEUVEAU depends upon proper storage of the product, selection of the correct dose, and proper reconstitution and administration techniques. Physicians administering JEUVEAU must understand the relevant neuromuscular and/or orbital anatomy of the area involved and any alterations to the anatomy due to prior surgical procedures [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ) ]. 2.2 Preparation and Dilution Technique JEUVEAU is supplied in a single-dose 100 Unit vial. Prior to intramuscular injection, reconstitute each vacuum-dried vial of JEUVEAU with only sterile, preservative-free 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to obtain a reconstituted solution at a concentration of 4 Units/0.1 mL and a total treatment dose of 20 Units in 0.5 mL (see Table 1 ). Slowly inject the diluent into the vial. Discard the vial if a vacuum does not pull the diluent into the vial. Dispose of any unused saline. Gently mix JEUVEAU with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP by rotating the vial. JEUVEAU should be administered within 24 hours after reconstitution. During this time period, unused reconstituted JEUVEAU should be stored in a refrigerator between 2° to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) in the original carton to protect from light for up to 24 hours until time of use. Do not freeze reconstituted JEUVEAU. JEUVEAU vials are for single-dose only. After reconstitution, JEUVEAU should be used for only one injection session and for only one patient. Discard any remaining solution after administration. Table 1. Dilution Instructions for JEUVEAU Vials (100 Units) Diluent Preservative-free 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP Added to 100 Unit Vial Resulting Dose Units per 0.1 mL 2.5 mL 4 Units Reconstituted JEUVEAU should be clear, colorless, and free of particulate matter otherwise it should not be injected. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. 2.3 Administration Glabellar facial lines arise from the activity of the corrugator and orbicularis oculi muscles. These muscles move the brow medially and the procerus and depressor supercilii pull the brow inferiorly. This creates a frown or “furrowed brow”. The location, size, and use of the muscles vary markedly among individuals. Lines induced by facial expression occur perpendicular to the direction of action of contracting facial muscles. An effective dose for facial lines is determined by gross observation of the patient’s ability to activate the superficial muscles injected. In order to reduce the complication of eyelid ptosis the following steps should be taken: • Avoid injection near the levator palpebrae superioris, particularly in patients with larger brow depressor complexes. • Lateral corrugator injections should be placed at least 1 cm above the bony supraorbital ridge. • Ensure the injected volume/dose is accurate and where feasible kept to a minimum. • Avoid injecting JEUVEAU closer than 1 centimeter above the central eyebrow. Draw at least 0.5 mL of the properly reconstituted JEUVEAU into a sterile syringe and expel any air bubbles in the syringe barrel. Remove the needle used to reconstitute the product and attach a 30-33 gauge needle. Confirm the patency of the needle. Inject a dose of 0.1 mL (4 Units) intramuscularly into each of five sites: the inferomedial and superior middle of each corrugator, and one in the mid-line of the procerus muscle for a total dose of 20 Units (See Figure 1 ). Figure 1 Figure 1-2

Overdosage

10 OVERDOSAGE There is no information regarding overdose from clinical studies of JEUVEAU. Excessive doses of JEUVEAU (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) injection may be expected to produce neuromuscular weakness with a variety of symptoms. Symptoms of overdose are likely not to be present immediately following injection. Should accidental injection or oral ingestion occur, or overdose be suspected, these patients should be considered for further medical evaluation and appropriate medical therapy immediately instituted, which may include hospitalization. The person should be medically supervised for several weeks for signs and symptoms of systemic muscular weakness which could be local or distant from the site of injection [ see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ]. If the musculature of the oropharynx and esophagus are affected, aspiration may occur which may lead to development of aspiration pneumonia. If the respiratory muscles become paralyzed or sufficiently weakened, intubation and assisted respiration may be necessary until recovery takes place. Supportive care could involve the need for a tracheostomy and/or prolonged mechanical ventilation, in addition to other general supportive care. In the event of overdose, antitoxin raised against botulinum toxin is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, GA. However, the antitoxin will not reverse any botulinum toxin-induced effects already apparent by the time of antitoxin administration. In the event of suspected or actual cases of botulinum toxin poisoning, please contact your local or state Health Department to process a request for antitoxin through the CDC. If you do not receive a response within 30 minutes, please contact the CDC directly at 1-770-488-7100. More information can be obtained at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/srp/drugs/formulary.html#1a.

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS No formal drug interaction studies have been conducted with JEUVEAU (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) for injection. However, the potential for certain drugs to potentiate the effects of JEUVEAU warrant consideration given the potential risks involved and should be used with caution. • Aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission • Anticholinergic drugs • Botulinum neurotoxin products • Muscle relaxant Closely observe patients receiving concomitant treatment of JEUVEAU and aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission (e.g., curare-like agents), or muscle relaxants because JEUVEAU’s effect may be potentiated ( 7 )

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action JEUVEAU blocks neuromuscular transmission by binding to acceptor sites on motor nerve terminals, entering the nerve terminals, and inhibiting the release of acetylcholine. This inhibition occurs as the neurotoxin cleaves SNAP-25, a protein integral to the successful docking and release of acetylcholine from vesicles situated within nerve endings. When injected intramuscularly at therapeutic doses, JEUVEAU produces partial chemical denervation of the muscle resulting in a localized reduction in muscle activity. In addition, the muscle may atrophy, axonal sprouting may occur, and extrajunctional acetylcholine receptors may develop. There is evidence that reinnervation of the muscle may occur, thus slowly reversing muscle denervation produced by JEUVEAU. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics No formal pharmacodynamic studies have been conducted with JEUVEAU. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Using currently available analytical technology, it is not possible to detect JEUVEAU in the peripheral blood following intramuscular injection at the recommended doses. No drug interaction studies have been conducted with JEUVEAU.

MEDICATION GUIDE JEUVEAU (pronounced Jū vō) (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) for Injection What is the most important information I should know about JEUVEAU? JEUVEAU may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Call your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you have any of these problems after treatment with JEUVEAU: • Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing. These problems can happen hours, days, or weeks after an injection of JEUVEAU if the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow become weak after the injection. Death can happen as a complication if you have severe problems with swallowing or breathing after treatment with JEUVEAU. o People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe. These people may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with JEUVEAU. o Swallowing problems may last for several months. People who cannot swallow well may need a feeding tube to receive food and water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs. People who already have swallowing or breathing problems before receiving JEUVEAU have the highest risk of getting these problems. • Spread of toxin effects. In some cases, the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. The symptoms of botulism include: o loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body o blurred vision and drooping eyelids o trouble saying words clearly o trouble breathing o double vision o hoarseness or change or loss of voice o loss of bladder control o trouble swallowing These symptoms can happen hours, days, or weeks after you receive an injection of JEUVEAU. These problems could make it unsafe for you to drive a car or do other dangerous activities. See “What should I avoid while receiving JEUVEAU?” What is JEUVEAU? JEUVEAU is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used in adults for a short period of time (temporary) to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).

    Clinical Studies

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES Two randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (EV-001 [NCT02334423] and EV-002 [NCT02334436]) of identical design were conducted to evaluate JEUVEAU for use in the temporary improvement of the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar facial lines. These trials enrolled 654 subjects, randomized 3 to 1 to a single treatment with JEUVEAU (n=492) or placebo (n=162). The trials enrolled healthy adults (ranging in age from 18 to 81) with glabellar lines of at least moderate severity at maximum frown. The trials excluded subjects who had ptosis, deep dermal scarring, or an inability to substantially lessen glabellar lines even by physically spreading the glabellar lines apart. Injection volume was 0.1 mL/injection site, for a dose/injection site in the active treatment groups of 4 Units. Subjects were injected intramuscularly at five sites, one in the procerus muscle and two in each corrugator supercilii muscle, for a total dose in the active treatment groups of 20 Units. The primary efficacy endpoint was measured at Day 30 and was defined as the proportion of subjects achieving ≥2-grade improvement from baseline at maximum frown, as assessed independently by both the investigator and the subject using the Glabellar Line Scale (GLS). The GLS is a 4-point grading scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2= moderate, 3=severe). The results of these two efficacy trials are presented below (See Table 3 ). The mean age was 51 years, with 68 subjects (10%) ≥ 65 years of age. Most of the subjects were women (91%), and a majority of the subjects were white (84%). Table 3.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use The two clinical trials of JEUVEAU included 68 subjects age 65 and greater. Although no differences in safety or efficacy were observed between older and younger subjects, clinical studies of JEUVEAU did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The limited available data on JEUVEAU use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. An embryofetal developmental study conducted with JEUVEAU in pregnant rats revealed no treatment-related effects to the developing fetus when JEUVEAU was administered intramuscularly during organogenesis at doses up to 12 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) ( see Data ). 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 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 In an embryofetal developmental study, intramuscular doses up to 4 Unit/kg JEUVEAU were administered to pregnant rats once daily during organogenesis (gestation days 6 to 16). No maternal or embryofetal toxicities were observed at doses up to 4 Unit/kg (12 times the MRHD of 20 Units, based on Unit/kg comparison).
