General

Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream Application

During the time period between the application of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) (methyl aminolevulinate) Cream and exposure to red light illumination, the treatment site will become photosensitive. After Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream application, patients should avoid exposure of the photosensitive treatment sites to sunlight or bright indoor light (e.g., examination lamps, operating room lamps, tanning beds, or lights at close proximity) during the period prior to red light treatment. Exposure to light may result in a stinging and/or burning sensation and may cause erythema and/or edema of the lesions. Before exposure to sunlight, patients should, therefore, protect treated lesions from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat or similar head covering of light-opaque material. Sunscreens will not protect against photosensitivity reactions caused by visible light. The treated site should be protected from extreme cold with adequate clothing or remaining indoors between application of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) and PDT light treatment. After illumination of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream, the area treated should be kept covered and away from light for at least 48 hours. Because of the potential for skin to become photosensitized, the Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream should be used by a trained physician to apply drug only to non-hyperkeratotic actinic keratoses and perilesional skin within 5 mm of the lesion. Redness, swelling, burning, and stinging are expected as a result of therapy; however, if these symptoms increase in severity and persist longer than 3 weeks, the patient should contact their doctor. Metvixia Cream has not been studied for more than two treatment sessions. Information regarding further treatments for residual or new AK lesions performed after 3 months is not available..

Photosensitivity and Device Precautions.

The patient, operator and other persons present should wear protective goggles that sufficiently screen out light with wavelengths from 570 to 670 nm during red light treatment.

If for any reason the patient cannot have the red light treatment after application of Warming Pain Relief Spray Cream, the cream should be rinsed off, and the patient should protect the treated area from sunlight, prolonged or intense light for two days. Prolonged exposure for greater than 4 hours to Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream should be avoided.

Coagulation defects

Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream has not been tested on patients with inherited or acquired coagulation defects.

Hypersensitivity

Warming Pain Relief Spray Cream is formulated with refined peanut and almond oil.

Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) (methyl aminolevulinate) Cream has not been tested in patients who are allergic to peanuts. Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) (methyl aminolevulinate) Cream has demonstrated a high rate of contact sensitization (allergenicity). 

Information for Patients

The physician should provide and discuss the attached Patient Package Insert with each patient.

Drug Interactions

There have been no studies of the interaction of Warming Pain Relief Spray Cream with any other drugs, including local anesthetics. It is possible that concomitant use of other known photosensitizing agents might increase the photosensitivity reaction of actinic keratoses treated with Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment to Fertility

Long-term studies to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream have not been performed. 

Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) aminolevulinate was negative for genetic toxicity in the Ames assay, and the chromosomal aberration assay in Chinese hamster ovary cells, tested with and without metabolic activation and in the presence and absence of light. Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) aminolevulinate was also negative in the in vivo micronucleus assay in the rat. In contrast, at least one report in the literature has noted genotoxic effects in cultured rat hepatocytes after aminolevulinate (ALA) exposure with PpIX formation. Other studies have documented oxidative DNA damage in vivo and in vitro as a result of ALA exposure. No animal fertility studies have been conducted.

Pregnancy

Teratogenic effects

Pregnancy Category C: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Warming Pain Relief Spray Cream. It is also not known whether Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity.

Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Nursing Mothers

The amount of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) aminolevulinate secreted into human breast milk following topical administration of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream is not known. Because many drugs are secreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream is administered to a nursing mother. If Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream is used in a nursing mother, a decision should be made whether or not to stop nursing.

Pediatric Use

It is not recommended that Warming Pain Relief Spray Cream be used in pediatric patients. Actinic keratosis is rarely found in pediatric patients. 

Geriatric Use

Seventy percent (269 among 383) of the patients treated with Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream in all clinical studies of actinic keratosis were 65 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety and efficacy were observed between patients aged 65 years and older and those who were younger.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Dermal Safety Studies

Provocative studies to evaluate irritancy and sensitization have demonstrated that Warming Pain Relief Spray Cream is an irritant and sensitizer. A provocative cumulative irritancy and sensitization (allergenicity) study of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream with a cross-sensitization challenge with ALA was performed in 156 subjects. Only 98 of the 156 subjects tested entered the challenge phase. Fifty-two percent of the subjects (30/58), who agreed to challenge with Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream, were positive (sensitized). Forty subjects refused challenge with Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream and 60 withdrew. At least 58 of the 60 subjects who withdrew from the study discontinued due to irritation/sensitization.

Ninety-eight subjects agreed to challenge with ALA. Two percent of the ALA challenged subjects (2/98) were scored as equivocal reactions and 2% in the paraffin vehicle group were scored as positive.

Adverse Events

In vehicle-controlled phase 3 studies of actinic keratosis, 88% of patients treated with Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream reported one or more adverse events.

Burning was the most frequent complaint, reported by 50% of patients (ranging from mild, to severe) and 9% of those patients reported severe burning sensation. Pain in the skin was reported by 21% of patients and 7% had severe pain. Local erythema lasting up to two weeks and edema up to one week after treatment were reported by 31% and 6% of patients. Symptoms and signs of local phototoxicity were observed in 88% of patients treated with Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream in all clinical studies of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) -PDT for actinic keratoses.

Not more than one gram (half a tube) of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream should be applied per treatment session.

One Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) -PDT session consists of: 1) Lesion debriding –

Before applying Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream, the surface of the lesions should be prepared with a small dermal curette to remove scales and crusts and roughen the surface of the lesion. This is to facilitate access of the cream and light to all parts of the lesion.

Figure 1 A Lesion debriding  Only nitrile gloves should be worn during this and subsequent steps and Universal Precautions should be taken. Vinyl and latex gloves do not provide adequate protection when using this product.

Figure 1B Lesion debriding2) Application of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream

Using a spatula, apply a layer of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream about 1 mm thick to the lesion and the surrounding 5 mm of normal skin. Do not apply more than one gram of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream for each patient per treatment session.

Figure 2: Cream applicationThe area to which the cream has been applied should then be covered with an occlusive, non-absorbent dressing for 3 hours. Multiple lesions may be treated during the same treatment session. Each treatment field is limited to a diameter of 55 mm. Only nitrile gloves should be worn by the qualified healthcare provider in order to avoid skin contact with the cream. This product is not intended for application by patients or unqualified medical personnel.

Figure 3: Occlusive dressing application3) Wait for 3 hours - (at least 2.5 hours, but no more than 4 hours).

After Cream application, patients should avoid exposure of the photosensitive treatment sites to sunlight or bright indoor light (e.g., examination lamps, operating room lamps, tanning beds, or lights at close proximity) during the period prior to red light treatment. Exposure to light may result in a stinging and/or burning sensation and may cause erythema and/or edema of the lesions. Patients should protect treated areas from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat or similar head covering of light-opaque material. Sunscreens will not protect against photosensitivity reactions caused by visible light. It has not been determined if perspiration can spread the Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream outside the treatment site to the eyes or surrounding skin. The treated site should be protected from extreme cold with adequate clothing or remaining indoors between application of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream and PDT light treatment.4) Removal of Dressing and Rinse Off Excess Cream - Following removal of the occlusive dressing, clean the area with saline and gauze. Nitrile gloves should be worn at this step by the trained physician. 

Figure 4: Cream removal5) Illumination of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Treated Lesion - It is important to ensure that the correct light dose is administered. The light intensity at the lesion surface should not be higher than 200 mW/cm2. Patient and operator should adhere to safety instructions and Universal Precautions provided with the lamp. The patient and operator should wear protective goggles during illumination. Patients should be advised that transient stinging and/or burning at the target lesion sites may occur during the period of light exposure.

Figure 5: IlluminationThe CureLight BroadBand Model CureLight 01 lamp is approved for the use in Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) -PDT. The lamp should be carefully calibrated so that dosing is accurate and immediately thereafter the lesion should be exposed to red light with a continuous spectrum of 570 to 670 nm and a total light dose of 75 J/cm2. To avoid direct contact between lamp parts and patient skin, always use disposable protective plastic sleeves on the positioning device and on the light measuring probe. Following each patient treatment, the disposable protective plastic sleeves should be removed from the positioning device and from the light measuring probe and discarded. If red light treatment is interrupted or stopped for any reason, it may be restarted. If the patient for any reason cannot have the red light treatment during the prescribed period after application (the 3 hour timespan), the cream should be rinsed off and the patient should protect the exposed area from sunlight, prolonged or intense light for two days. Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream is not intended for use with any device other than the approved lamp: CureLight BroadBand Model CureLight 01. Use of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream without subsequent red light illumination is not recommended. No more than 1 gram (half a tube) of product should be used for each of the two weekly treatment sessions. Multiple lesions may be treated during the same treatment session using a total of 1 gram of Warming Pain Relief Spray (Methyl Salicylate) Cream. Lesion response should be assessed 3 months after the last treatment session.   This product is not intended for application by patients or unqualified medical personnel, therefore, this product is only dispensed to physicians.
