Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following important adverse reactions are described below and elsewhere in the labeling: Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Other Ketoacidosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Volume Depletion [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Urosepsis and Pyelonephritis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use with Insulin and Insulin Secretagogues [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Perineum (Fournier’s Gangrene) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Genital Mycotic Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Most common adverse reactions (5% or greater incidence) were female genital mycotic infections, nasopharyngitis, and urinary tract infections. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Teva at 1-888-838-2872 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, 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. Dapagliflozin has been evaluated in clinical trials in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The overall safety profile of dapagliflozin was consistent across the studied indications. Severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) were observed only in patients with diabetes mellitus. Clinical Trials for Glycemic Control in Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Pool of 12 Placebo-Controlled Adult Trials for Dapagliflozin 5 and 10 mg for Glycemic Control The data in Table 1 is derived from 12 glycemic control placebo-controlled trials in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ranging from 12 to 24 weeks. In 4 trials dapagliflozin was used as monotherapy, and in 8 trials dapagliflozin was used as add-on to background antidiabetic therapy or as combination therapy with metformin [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . These data reflect exposure of 2,338 adult patients to dapagliflozin with a mean exposure duration of 21 weeks. Patients received placebo (N=1,393), dapagliflozin 5 mg (N=1,145), or dapagliflozin 10 mg (N=1,193) once daily. The mean age of the population was 55 years and 2% were older than 75 years of age. Fifty percent (50%) of the population were male; 81% were White, 14% were Asian, and 3% were Black or African American. At baseline, the population had diabetes for an average of 6 years, had a mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 8.3%, and 21% had established microvascular complications of diabetes. Baseline renal function was normal or mildly impaired in 92% of patients and moderately impaired in 8% of patients (mean eGFR 86 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ). Table 1 shows common adverse reactions in adults associated with the use of dapagliflozin. These adverse reactions were not present at baseline, occurred more commonly on dapagliflozin than on placebo, and occurred in at least 2% of patients treated with either dapagliflozin 5 mg or dapagliflozin 10 mg. Table 1: Adverse Reactions in Placebo-Controlled Trials of Glycemic Control Reported in ≥2% of Adults Treated with Dapagliflozin Adverse Reaction % of Patients Pool of 12 Placebo-Controlled Trials Placebo N=1,393 Dapagliflozin 5 mg N=1,145 Dapagliflozin 10 mg N=1,193 Female genital mycotic infections * 1.5 8.4 6.9 Nasopharyngitis 6.2 6.6 6.3 Urinary tract infections † 3.7 5.7 4.3 Back pain 3.2 3.1 4.2 Increased urination ‡ 1.7 2.9 3.8 Male genital mycotic infections § 0.3 2.8 2.7 Nausea 2.4 2.8 2.5 Influenza 2.3 2.7 2.3 Dyslipidemia 1.5 2.1 2.5 Constipation 1.5 2.2 1.9 Discomfort with urination 0.7 1.6 2.1 Pain in extremity 1.4 2.0 1.7 * Genital mycotic infections include the following adverse reactions, listed in order of frequency reported for females: vulvovaginal mycotic infection, vaginal infection, vulvovaginal candidiasis, vulvovaginitis, genital infection, genital candidiasis, fungal genital infection, vulvitis, genitourinary tract infection, vulval abscess, and vaginitis bacterial. (N for females: Placebo=677, dapagliflozin 5 mg=581, dapagliflozin 10 mg=598). † Urinary tract infections include the following adverse reactions, listed in order of frequency reported: urinary tract infection, cystitis, Escherichia urinary tract infection, genitourinary tract infection, pyelonephritis, trigonitis, urethritis, kidney infection, and prostatitis. ‡ Increased urination includes the following adverse reactions, listed in order of frequency reported: pollakiuria, polyuria, and urine output increased. § Genital mycotic infections include the following adverse reactions, listed in order of frequency reported for males: balanitis, fungal genital infection, balanitis candida, genital candidiasis, genital infection male, penile infection, balanoposthitis, balanoposthitis infective, genital infection, and posthitis. (N for males: Placebo=716, dapagliflozin 5 mg=564, dapagliflozin 10 mg=595). Pool of 13 Placebo-Controlled Adult Trials for Dapagliflozin 10 mg for Glycemic Control Dapagliflozin 10 mg was also evaluated in a larger glycemic control placebo-controlled trial pool in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This pool combined 13 placebo-controlled trials, including 3 monotherapy trials, 9 add-on to background antidiabetic therapy trials, and an initial combination with metformin trial. Across these 13 trials, 2,360 patients were treated once daily with dapagliflozin 10 mg for a mean duration of exposure of 22 weeks. The mean age of the population was 59 years and 4% were older than 75 years. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of the population were male; 84% were White, 9% were Asian, and 3% were Black or African American. At baseline, the population had diabetes for an average of 9 years, had a mean HbA1c of 8.2%, and 30% had established microvascular disease. Baseline renal function was normal or mildly impaired in 88% of patients and moderately impaired in 11% of patients (mean eGFR 82 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ). Other Adverse Reactions in Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Volume Depletion Dapagliflozin causes an osmotic diuresis, which may lead to a reduction in intravascular volume. Adverse reactions related to volume depletion (including reports of dehydration, hypovolemia, orthostatic hypotension, or hypotension) in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for the 12-trial and 13-trial, short-term, placebo-controlled pools and for the DECLARE trial are shown in Table 2 [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Table 2: Adverse Reactions Related to Volume Depletion* in Clinical Trials in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Dapagliflozin Pool of 12 Placebo-Controlled Trials Pool of 13 Placebo- Controlled Trials DECLARE Trial Placebo Dapagliflozin 5 mg Dapagliflozin 10 mg Placebo Dapagliflozin 10 mg Placebo Dapagliflozin 10 mg Overall population N (%) N=1,393 5 (0.4%) N=1,145 7 (0.6%) N=1,193 9 (0.8%) N=2,295 17 (0.7%) N=2,360 27 (1.1%) N=8,569 207 (2.4%) N=8,574 213 (2.5%) Patient Subgroup n (%) Patients on loop diuretics n=55 1 (1.8%) n=40 0 n=31 3 (9.7%) n=267 4 (1.5%) n=236 6 (2.5%) n=934 57 (6.1%) n=866 57 (6.6%) Patients with moderate renal impairment with eGFR ≥30 and 55% were reported in 0.4% of placebo-treated patients and 1.3% of dapagliflozin 10 mg-treated patients. Increase in Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol In the pool of 13 placebo-controlled trials of glycemic control, changes from baseline in mean lipid values were reported in dapagliflozin-treated adult patients compared to placebo-treated patients. Mean percent changes from baseline at Week 24 were 0.0% versus 2.5% for total cholesterol, and -1.0% versus 2.9% for LDL cholesterol in the placebo and dapagliflozin 10 mg groups, respectively. In the DECLARE trial [see Clinical Studies (14.3)] , mean changes from baseline after 4 years were 0.4 mg/dL versus -4.1 mg/dL for total cholesterol, and -2.5 mg/dL versus -4.4 mg/dL for LDL cholesterol, in dapagliflozin-treated and the placebo groups, respectively. Decrease in Serum Bicarbonate In a trial of concomitant therapy of dapagliflozin 10 mg with exenatide extended-release (on a background of metformin) in adults, four patients (1.7%) on concomitant therapy had a serum bicarbonate value of less than or equal to 13 mEq/L compared to one each (0.4%) in the dapagliflozin and exenatide-extended release treatment groups [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] . Pediatric use information is approved for AstraZeneca AB’s Farxiga ® (dapagliflozin) Tablets. However, due to AstraZeneca AB’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience Additional adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of dapagliflozin in patients with diabetes mellitus. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is generally not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Infections: Necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum (Fournier’s Gangrene), urosepsis and pyelonephritis Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders: Ketoacidosis Renal and Urinary Disorders: Acute kidney injury Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Rash
Warnings & Precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Other Ketoacidosis: Consider ketone monitoring in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and consider ketone monitoring in others at risk for ketoacidosis, as indicated. Assess for ketoacidosis regardless of presenting blood glucose levels and discontinue dapagliflozin if ketoacidosis is suspected. Monitor patients for resolution of ketoacidosis before restarting. ( 5.1 ) Volume depletion: Before initiating dapagliflozin, assess volume status and renal function in the elderly, patients with renal impairment or low systolic blood pressure, and in patients on diuretics. Monitor for signs and symptoms during therapy. ( 5.2 ) Urosepsis and Pyelonephritis: Evaluate for signs and symptoms of urinary tract infections and treat promptly, if indicated. ( 5.3 ) Hypoglycemia: Consider a lower dose of insulin or the insulin secretagogue to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia when used in combination with dapagliflozin. ( 5.4 ) Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Perineum (Fournier’s Gangrene): Serious, life-threatening cases have occurred in patients with diabetes, both females and males. Assess patients presenting with pain or tenderness, erythema, or swelling in the genital or perineal area, along with fever or malaise. If suspected, institute prompt treatment. ( 5.5 ) Genital Mycotic Infections: Monitor and treat if indicated. ( 5.6 ) 5.1 Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Other Ketoacidosis In patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, dapagliflozin significantly increases the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening event, beyond the background rate. In placebo-controlled trials of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, the risk of ketoacidosis was markedly increased in patients who received sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors compared to patients who received placebo. Dapagliflozin is not indicated for glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus and pancreatic disorders (e.g., history of pancreatitis or pancreatic surgery) are also risk factors for ketoacidosis. There have been postmarketing reports of fatal events of ketoacidosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using SGLT2 inhibitors, including dapagliflozin. Precipitating conditions for diabetic ketoacidosis or other ketoacidosis include under-insulinization due to insulin dose reduction or missed insulin doses, acute febrile illness, reduced caloric intake, ketogenic diet, surgery, volume depletion, and alcohol abuse. Signs and symptoms are consistent with dehydration and severe metabolic acidosis and include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, generalized malaise, and shortness of breath. Blood glucose levels at presentation may be below those typically expected for diabetic ketoacidosis (e.g., less than 250 mg/dL). Ketoacidosis and glucosuria may persist longer than typically expected. Urinary glucose excretion persists for 3 days after discontinuing dapagliflozin [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] ; however, there have been postmarketing reports of ketoacidosis and/or glucosuria lasting greater than 6 days and some up to 2 weeks after discontinuation of SGLT2 inhibitors. Consider ketone monitoring in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and consider ketone monitoring in others at risk for ketoacidosis if indicated by the clinical situation. Assess for ketoacidosis regardless of presenting blood glucose levels in patients who present with signs and symptoms consistent with severe metabolic acidosis. If ketoacidosis is suspected, discontinue dapagliflozin, promptly evaluate, and treat ketoacidosis, if confirmed. Monitor patients for resolution of ketoacidosis before restarting dapagliflozin. Withhold dapagliflozin, if possible, in temporary clinical situations that could predispose patients to ketoacidosis. Resume dapagliflozin when the patient is clinically stable and has resumed oral intake [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] . Educate all patients on the signs and symptoms of ketoacidosis and instruct patients to discontinue dapagliflozin and seek medical attention immediately if signs and symptoms occur. 5.2 Volume Depletion Dapagliflozin can cause intravascular volume depletion which may sometimes manifest as symptomatic hypotension or acute transient changes in creatinine. There have been post-marketing reports of acute kidney injury, some requiring hospitalization and dialysis, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving SGLT2 inhibitors, including dapagliflozin. Patients with impaired renal function (eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), elderly patients, or patients on loop diuretics may be at increased risk for volume depletion or hypotension. Before initiating dapagliflozin in patients with one or more of these characteristics, assess volume status and renal function. Monitor for signs and symptoms of hypotension, and renal function after initiating therapy. 5.3 Urosepsis and Pyelonephritis Serious urinary tract infections including urosepsis and pyelonephritis requiring hospitalization have been reported in patients receiving SGLT2 inhibitors, including dapagliflozin. Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors increases the risk for urinary tract infections. Evaluate patients for signs and symptoms of urinary tract infections and treat promptly, if indicated [see Adverse Reactions ( 6 )] . 5.4 Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use with Insulin and Insulin Secretagogues Insulin and insulin secretagogues (e.g., sulfonylureas) are known to cause hypoglycemia. Dapagliflozin may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when combined with insulin or an insulin secretagogue [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Therefore, a lower dose of insulin or insulin secretagogue may be required to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia when these agents are used in combination with dapagliflozin [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] . 5.5 Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Perineum (Fournier’s Gangrene) Reports of necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum (Fournier’s Gangrene), a rare but serious and life-threatening necrotizing infection requiring urgent surgical intervention, have been identified in postmarketing surveillance in patients with diabetes mellitus receiving SGLT2 inhibitors, including dapagliflozin. Cases have been reported in both females and males. Serious outcomes have included hospitalization, multiple surgeries, and death. Patients treated with dapagliflozin presenting with pain or tenderness, erythema, or swelling in the genital or perineal area, along with fever or malaise, should be assessed for necrotizing fasciitis. If suspected, start treatment immediately with broad-spectrum antibiotics and, if necessary, surgical debridement. Discontinue dapagliflozin, closely monitor blood glucose levels, and provide appropriate alternative therapy for glycemic control. 5.6 Genital Mycotic Infections Dapagliflozin increases the risk of genital mycotic infections. Patients with a history of genital mycotic infections were more likely to develop genital mycotic infections [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Monitor and treat appropriately.
Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Table 4: Clinically Relevant Interactions with Dapagliflozin Insulin or Insulin Secretagogues Clinical Impact The risk of hypoglycemia may be increased when dapagliflozin is used concomitantly with insulin or insulin secretagogues (e.g., sulfonylurea) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . Intervention Concomitant use may require lower doses of insulin or the insulin secretagogue to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. Lithium Clinical Impact Concomitant use of an SGLT2 inhibitor with lithium may decrease serum lithium concentrations. Intervention Monitor serum lithium concentration more frequently during dapagliflozin initiation and dosage changes. Positive Urine Glucose Test Clinical Impact SGLT2 inhibitors increase urinary glucose excretion and will lead to positive urine glucose tests. Intervention Monitoring glycemic control with urine glucose tests is not recommended in patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors. Use alternative methods to monitor glycemic control. Interference with 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) Assay Clinical Impact Measurements of 1,5-AG are unreliable in assessing glycemic control in patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors. Intervention Monitoring glycemic control with 1,5-AG assay is not recommended. Use alternative methods to monitor glycemic control. See full prescribing information for information on drug interactions and interference of dapagliflozin with laboratory tests. ( 7 )
