Extraneal

11 DESCRIPTION EXTRANEAL (icodextrin) Peritoneal Dialysis Solution is a solution intended for intraperitoneal administration that contains the colloid osmotic agent icodextrin. Icodextrin is a cornstarch-derived, water-soluble glucose polymer linked by alpha (1-4) and less than 10% alpha (1-6) glucosidic bonds with a weight-average molecular weight between 13,000 and 19,000 Daltons and a number average molecular weight between 5,000 and 6,500 Daltons.

Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE EXTRANEAL (icodextrin) is indicated for a single daily exchange for the long (8- to 16- hour) dwell during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) for the management of kidney failure in patients requiring long-term kidney replacement therapy. EXTRANEAL is also indicated to improve (compared to 4.25% dextrose) long-dwell ultrafiltration and clearance of creatinine and urea nitrogen in patients with high average or greater transport characteristics, as defined using the peritoneal equilibration test (PET) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12 ), Clinical Studies ( 14 )].

Dosage

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intraperitoneal administration only. Not for intravenous or intra-arterial administration. Administer as a single daily peritoneal dialysis (PD) exchange for the long dwell. Dosage should be individualized by the prescribing physician experienced in the treatment of kidney failure in patients requiring long-term kidney replacement therapy with PD. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Basic Dosing Information EXTRANEAL is intended for intraperitoneal administration only. Not for intravenous or intra-arterial administration. Administer as a single daily exchange for the long dwell in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or automated peritoneal dialysis. The recommended dwell time is 8 to 16 hours.

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reaction (incidence > 5%) was rash. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Vantive US Healthcare LLC at 1-855-857-0003 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience EXTRANEAL was originally studied in controlled clinical trials of 493 patients with kidney failure in patients requiring long-term kidney replacement therapy who received a single daily exchange of EXTRANEAL for the long dwell (8-to 16- hours). There were 215 patients exposed for at least 6 months and 155 patients exposed for at least one year.

Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS As with other dialysis solutions, blood concentrations of dialyzable drugs may be reduced by dialysis. Dosage adjustment of concomitant medications may be necessary. In patients using cardiac glycosides (digoxin and others), plasma levels of calcium, potassium and magnesium must be carefully monitored [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )]. Insulin: Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes may require modification of insulin dosage following initiation of treatment with EXTRANEAL. Monitor blood glucose and adjust insulin, if needed [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .

Warnings

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Use glucose-specific glucose monitoring systems when measuring blood glucose ( 5.1 ) • Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (5.2 ) • Peritonitis: Initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy. ( 5.2 ) • Hypersensitivity reactions: Serious reactions have been reported. Discontinue use of EXTRANEAL if serious reaction is suspected. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS EXTRANEAL is contraindicated in patients with: • known hypersensitivity to icodextrin [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] • maltose or isomaltose intolerance • glycogen storage disease • severe lactic acidosis, as EXTRANEAL contains lactate which may contribute to worsening acidosis if conversion to bicarbonate is impaired and may be associated with hyperventilation, letharg...

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary EXTRANEAL is a pharmacologically inactive solution. While there are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women, appropriate administration of EXTRANEAL with monitoring of hematology, blood chemistry, and fluid status is not expected to cause fetal harm. 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.
