    History of hypersensitivity to Eradikit (Secnidazole), other ingredients of the formulation, or other nitroimidazole derivatives. (4)

    5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    • Vulvo-vaginal candidiasis may develop with Eradikit and require treatment with an antifungal agent (5.1)
    • Potential Risk for Carcinogenicity: Carcinogenicity has been seen in mice and rats treated chronically with nitroimidazole derivatives, which are structurally related to Eradikit (Secnidazole). It is unclear if the positive tumor findings in lifetime rodent studies indicate a risk to patients taking a single dose of Eradikit (Secnidazole) to treat bacterial vaginosis. Avoid chronic use (5.2)

    5.1 Vulvo-Vaginal Candidiasis

    The use of Eradikit (Secnidazole) may result in vulvo-vaginal candidiasis. In controlled clinical trials of non-pregnant women with bacterial vaginosis, vulvo-vaginal candidiasis developed in 19/197 (9.6%) of subjects who received 2 g Eradikit (Secnidazole) and 4/136 (2.9%) subjects who received placebo . Symptomatic vulvo-vaginal candidiasis may require treatment with an antifungal agent.

    5.2 Potential Risk for Carcinogenicity

    Carcinogenicity has been seen in mice and rats treated chronically with nitroimidazole derivatives which are structurally related to Eradikit. It is unclear if the positive tumor findings in lifetime rodent studies of these nitroimidazoles indicate a risk to patients taking a single dose of Eradikit (Secnidazole) to treat bacterial vaginosis. Avoid chronic use of Eradikit (Secnidazole)

    5.3 Drug Resistance

    Prescribing Eradikit (Secnidazole) in the absence of proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

    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.

    The safety data described below reflect exposure to 589 patients, of whom 518 received a 2 g dose of Eradikit (Secnidazole). Eradikit (Secnidazole) was evaluated in three clinical trials of patients diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis: two placebo-controlled trials (Trial 1 n=215, Trial 2 n=189) and one uncontrolled safety trial (Trial 3 n=321).

    All patients received a single oral dose of study medication or placebo. Trial 1 evaluated a 1 g (this dose is not approved) dose (n=71) and a 2 g dose (n=72) of Eradikit (Secnidazole). Trial 2 evaluated a 2 g dose (n=125). The population was female, aged 15 to 54 years. Patients in the placebo- controlled trials were primarily Black or African American (54%) or Caucasian (41%).

    There were no deaths in the trials. Two patients in Trial 3 discontinued due to vulvovaginal candidiasis in the SOLOSEC-treated arm.

    Most Common Adverse Reactions

    Among 197 patients treated with a single 2 g dose of Eradikit (Secnidazole) in the two placebo-controlled trials, Trial 1 and 2, adverse reactions were reported by approximately 29% of patients. Table 1 displays the most common adverse reactions (≥ 2 % in SOLOSEC-treated patients) in these two trials.

    6.2 Postmarketing Experience

    The following adverse reactions have been reported during use of other formulations of Eradikit (Secnidazole) 2 g outside of the United States. 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.

    Reported adverse reactions were nausea, dysgeusia, abdominal pain, headache, and vomiting.

    7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    7.1 Oral Contraceptives

    There was no clinically significant drug interaction between Eradikit (Secnidazole) and the combination oral contraceptive, ethinyl estradiol plus norethindrone . Eradikit (Secnidazole) can be co-administered with combination oral contraceptives (e.g., ethinyl estradiol plus norethindrone).

    8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    Lactation: Breastfeeding is not recommended. Discontinue breastfeeding for 96 hours after administration of Eradikit. (8.2)

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    Limited available data with Eradikit (Secnidazole) use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, there were no adverse developmental outcomes when Eradikit (Secnidazole) was administered orally to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 4 times the clinical dose

    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 miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

    Data

    Animal Data

    In animal reproduction studies, pregnant rats were dosed orally with Eradikit (Secnidazole) during organogenesis (gestational days 6-17) at 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day, up to 4 times the clinical dose based on AUC comparisons. Animals showed no evidence of adverse developmental outcomes, but maternal toxicity (including reduced body weight gain) was observed at and above 300 mg/kg/day. In rabbits, no evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed when oral doses of Eradikit (Secnidazole) were administered to dams during organogenesis (gestational days 7-20) at doses up to 100 mg/kg/day (about 0.1 times the clinical dose, based on AUC comparisons). Eradikit (Secnidazole) was associated with maternal toxicity (reduced food consumption and markedly reduced body weight gain) in dams at 100 mg/kg/day.

    In a peri- and post-natal development study in rats, Eradikit (Secnidazole) was administered at 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day from Day 6 of gestation through Day 20 of lactation. Eradikit (Secnidazole) was not associated with any adverse effects on gestation, parturition, lactation or on subsequent development of first generation (F1) and second generation (F2) offspring at these doses, equivalent to up to 1.4 times the clinical dose based on AUC comparisons. Maternal toxicity (reduced gestational body weight gain) was evident at doses of 100 mg/kg and above (about 0.3 times the clinical dose based on AUC comparisons).

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    There is no information on the presence of Eradikit in human milk, the effects on the breast- fed child, or the effects on milk production. Other nitroimidazole derivatives are present in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions, including tumorigenicity, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with Eradikit (Secnidazole) and for 96 hours (based on half-life) after administration of Eradikit (Secnidazole).

    Clinical Considerations

    A nursing mother may choose to pump and discard her milk during treatment with Eradikit (Secnidazole) and for 96 hours after administration of Eradikit (Secnidazole) and feed her infant stored human milk or formula.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and effectiveness of Eradikit (Secnidazole) in pediatric patients below the age of 18 years have not been established.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Clinical studies with Eradikit (Secnidazole) did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

    12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Eradikit is a nitroimidazole antimicrobial drug .

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Eradikit (Secnidazole) exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response are unknown.

    Cardiac Electrophysiology

    The effect of Eradikit (Secnidazole) on the QTc interval was evaluated in a Phase 1 randomized, double blind, placebo- and positive-controlled four-period crossover thorough QTc study in 52 healthy adult subjects following single oral granule doses of 2 g and 6 g (3-times the recommended dose). Although there was a positive relationship of the QTc interval with Eradikit (Secnidazole) concentrations, there was no clinically relevant increase in the QTc interval following either dose.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    A single oral dose of 2 g of Eradikit in healthy adult female subjects, following an overnight fast and admixed with (4 oz) of applesauce, resulted in a mean (SD) Eradikit (Secnidazole) peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of 45.4 (7.64) mcg/mL and mean (SD) systemic exposure (AUC0-inf) of 1331.6 (230.16) mcg-hr/mL. Median (range) time to peak concentration (Tmax) was 4.0 (3.0-4.0) hours. Following administration of the 2-g dose, mean Eradikit (Secnidazole) plasma concentrations decreased to 22.1 mcg/mL at 24 hours, 9.2 mcg/mL at 48 hours, 3.8 mcg/mL at 72 hours, and 1.4 mcg/mL at 96 hours.

    Absorption

    Effect of Food

    Administration of 2 g of Eradikit (Secnidazole) admixed with applesauce followed by ingestion of a high-fat meal (approximately 150 protein calories, 250 carbohydrate calories, and 500-600 fat calories) resulted in no significant change in the rate (Cmax) and extent (AUC) of Eradikit (Secnidazole) exposure as compared to administration when admixed with applesauce and taken under fasted conditions. There was no effect of admixing Eradikit (Secnidazole) with pudding and yogurt as compared to admixing with applesauce (Table 2).

    Distribution

    The apparent volume of distribution of Eradikit (Secnidazole) is approximately 42 L. The plasma protein binding of Eradikit (Secnidazole) is <5%.

    Elimination

    The total body clearance of Eradikit (Secnidazole) is approximately 25 mL/min. The renal clearance of Eradikit (Secnidazole) is approximately 3.9 mL/min.

    The plasma elimination half-life for Eradikit (Secnidazole) is approximately 17 hours.

    Metabolism

    Eradikit (Secnidazole) is metabolized in vitro via oxidation by human hepatic CYP450 enzyme system with ≤ 1% conversion to metabolites.

    Excretion

    Approximately 15% of a 2-g oral dose of Eradikit (Secnidazole) is excreted as unchanged Eradikit (Secnidazole) in the urine.

    Drug Interactions

    Oral Contraceptives

    Concomitant administration of 2 g of Eradikit (Secnidazole) with the combination oral contraceptive (OC), ethinyl estradiol (EE) plus norethindrone (NE), to healthy adult female subjects resulted in a decrease in mean Cmax of EE of 29%, and no significant effect on the mean AUC of EE. Administration of 2g of Eradikit (Secnidazole) 1 day before combination OC administration resulted in no significant effect on mean Cmax or AUC of EE.

    Concomitant administration of 2 g of Eradikit (Secnidazole) with the combination OC resulted in no significant effect on mean Cmax and AUC of NE (increases of 13% and 16%, respectively). Administration of 2g of Eradikit (Secnidazole) 1 day before combination OC administration also resulted in no significant effect on mean Cmax and AUC of NE.

    Ethanol Metabolism

    In vitro studies showed that Eradikit (Secnidazole) had no effect on aldehyde dehydrogenase activity.

    12.4 Microbiology

    Mechanism of Action

    Eradikit (Secnidazole) is a 5-nitroimidazole antimicrobial. 5-nitroimidazoles enter the bacterial cell as an inactive prodrug where the nitro group is reduced by bacterial enzymes to radical anions. It is believed that these radical anions interfere with bacterial DNA synthesis of susceptible isolates.

    Resistance

    The development of resistance to Eradikit (Secnidazole) by bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis was not examined. Bacterial isolates exhibiting reduced in vitro susceptibility to metronidazole also show reduced susceptibility to Eradikit (Secnidazole). The clinical significance of such an effect is unknown.

    Antibacterial Activity

    Culture and sensitivity testing of bacteria are not routinely performed to establish the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis ; standard methodology for the susceptibility testing of potential bacterial pathogens, Gardnerella vaginalis or Mobiluncus spp. has not been defined.

    The following in vitro data are available but their clinical significance is unknown. Eradikit (Secnidazole) is active in vitro against most isolates of the following organisms reported to be associated with bacterial vaginosis:

    Bacteroides spp.

    Gardnerella vaginalis

    Prevotella spp.

    Mobiluncus spp.

    Megasphaera-like type I/II

    13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Nitroimidazoles, which have similar chemical structures to Eradikit (Secnidazole), have been associated with tumors affecting the liver, lungs, mammary, and lymphatic tissues in animals after lifetime exposures. It is unclear if these positive tumor findings in lifetime rodent studies of these nitroimidazoles indicate a risk to patients taking a single dose of Eradikit (Secnidazole) to treat bacterial vaginosis.

    Eradikit (Secnidazole) was positive in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay, but was negative for the rat micronucleus test and mouse lymphoma test.

    In a rat fertility study, females were dosed for two weeks prior to mating until Day 7 of gestation with males that were dosed for a minimum of 28 days before cohabitation. No parental toxicity or adverse effects on mating performance, estrous cycles, fertility or conception was observed at doses of up to the maximum tolerated dose (300 mg/kg/day, approximately 1.4 times the recommended dose based on AUC comparisons).

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    Two randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials (Trial 1 and Trial 2) with similar designs were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Eradikit (Secnidazole) 2 gram for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. A diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis was defined as all of (a) the presence of an off-white (milky or gray), thin, homogeneous vaginal discharge; (b) a vaginal pH ≥ 4.7; (c) the presence of Clue cells ≥ 20% of the total epithelial cells on a microscopic examination of the vaginal saline wet mount; (d) a positive "whiff" test (detection of amine odor on addition of 10% KOH solution to a sample of the vaginal discharge); and (e) a Nugent score ≥ 4.

    Trial 1 enrolled 144 non-pregnant female patients aged 19 to 54 years and Trial 2 enrolled 189 non-pregnant females aged 18 to 54 years. Black or African American subjects in both trials were 54%. Efficacy was assessed by clinical outcome evaluated 21 to 30 days following a single dose of Eradikit (Secnidazole). A Clinical responder was defined as “normal” vaginal discharge, negative "whiff" test, and clue cells <20%. Additional endpoints included Nugent score cure (Nugent score of 0-3) and therapeutic outcome. A therapeutic responder was defined as a clinical responder with a Nugent score cure. In Trial 2, the endpoints were also assessed at Day 7-14.

    In both trials, a statistically significantly greater percentage of patients experienced clinical response, Nugent score cure, and therapeutic response at 21 to 30 days following a single dose of Eradikit (Secnidazole) compared to placebo. Statistically significant results for the endpoints were also achieved at Day 7-14 in Trial 2.

    The percentage of patients with clinical response was also consistently higher in both trials in the Eradikit (Secnidazole) arm compared to placebo among all subsets of patients: number of prior episodes of bacterial vaginosis (≤ 3 episodes and ≥ 4 episodes) in past 12 months, baseline Nugent score (score 4-6 and score 7-10), and race (Black/African American and White). Tables 3 and 4 describe the efficacy of Eradikit (Secnidazole) in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.
