Description

WARNING: ENDOMETRIAL CANCER and CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. OSPHENA is an estrogen agonist/antagonist with tissue selective effects. In the endometrium, OSPHENA has estrogen agonistic effects. There is an increased risk of endometrial cancer in a woman with a uterus who uses unopposed estrogens. Perform adequate diagnostic measures, including directed and random endometrial sampling when indicated, to rule out malignancy in postmenopausal women with undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal genital bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Estrogen-alone therapy has an increased risk of stroke and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). OSPHENA 60 mg had cerebral thromboembolic and hemorrhagic stroke incidence rates of 1.13 and 3.39 per thousand women years, respectively vs. 3.15 and 0 per thousand women years, respectively with placebo. For deep vein thrombosis, the incidence rate for OSPHENA 60 mg is 2.26 per thousand women years (2 reported cases) vs. 3.15 per thousand women years (1 reported case) with placebo [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].

Indications and Usage

OSPHENA is indicated for:

Dosage and Administration

OSPHENA is an estrogen agonist/antagonist which has agonistic effects on the endometrium [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Use OSPHENA for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman. Reevaluate postmenopausal women periodically as clinically appropriate to determine if treatment is still necessary.

Warnings and Precautions

Section 43683-2

Warnings and Precautions, Malignant Neoplasms ( 5.2)              02/2025

7.3 Rifampin

Rifampin, a strong CYP3A4 / moderate CYP2C9 / moderate CYP2C19 inducer, decreases the systemic exposure of ospemifene by 58%. Therefore, co-administration of OSPHENA with drugs such as rifampin which induce CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and/or CYP2C19 activity would be expected to decrease the systemic exposure of ospemifene, which may decrease the clinical effect [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

7.5 Warfarin

Repeated administration of ospemifene had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of a single 10 mg dose of warfarin. No study was conducted with multiple doses of warfarin. The effect of ospemifene on clotting time such as the International Normalized Ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) was not studied [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

11 Description

OSPHENA is an estrogen agonist/antagonist. OSPHENA is not a hormone. The chemical structure of ospemifene is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Chemical Structure

The chemical designation is Z-2-[4-(4-chloro-1,2-diphenylbut-1-enyl)phenoxy]ethanol, and has the empirical formula C 24H 23ClO 2, which corresponds to a molecular weight of 378.9. Ospemifene is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is insoluble in water and soluble in ethanol.

Each OSPHENA tablet contains 60 mg of ospemifene. Inactive ingredients include colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, povidone, pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate, titanium dioxide, and triacetin.

7.2 Fluconazole

Do not use OSPHENA concomitantly with fluconazole, a moderate CYP3A / strong CYP2C9 / moderate CYP2C19 inhibitor. Fluconazole increases the systemic exposure of ospemifene by 2.7-fold. Administration of fluconazole with ospemifene may increase the risk of OSPHENA-related adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

7.4 Ketoconazole

Ketoconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, increases the systemic exposure of ospemifene by 1.4-fold. Administration of ketoconazole chronically with ospemifene may increase the risk of OSPHENA-related adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

16.1 How Supplied

OSPHENA tablets are white to off-white, oval, biconvex, film coated tablets containing 60 mg of ospemifene and engraved with "60" on one side. They are available as follows:

NDC 55494-580-90 Bottle of 90 tablets
NDC 55494-580-30 Bottle of 30 tablets

8.4 Pediatric Use

OSPHENA is not indicated in pediatric patients. Clinical studies have not been conducted in the pediatric population.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Of the 2209 OSPHENA-treated women enrolled in the ten phase 2/3 trials of OSPHENA, >19 percent were 65 years of age or older. No clinically meaningful differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these women and younger women less than 65 years of age.

14 Clinical Studies

The effectiveness and safety of OSPHENA on moderate to severe symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women were examined in four placebo-controlled clinical trials (three 12-week efficacy trials and one 52-week long-term safety trial). In the four placebo-controlled trials, a total of 1100 women received placebo and 1416 women received 60 mg OSPHENA.

Trial 1 was a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial that enrolled 826 generally healthy postmenopausal women between 41 to 81 years of age (mean 59 years of age) who at baseline had ≤5 percent superficial cells on a vaginal smear, a vaginal pH >5.0, and who identified at least one moderate to severe vaginal symptom that was considered the most bothersome to her (vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse [dyspareunia], or vaginal irritation/itching). Treatment groups included 30 mg ospemifene (n=282), 60 mg ospemifene (n=276), and placebo (n=268). All women were assessed for improvement in the mean change from baseline to Week 12 for the co-primary efficacy variables of: most bothersome symptom (MBS) of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (defined as the individual moderate to severe symptom that was identified by the woman as most bothersome at baseline), percentage of vaginal superficial and vaginal parabasal cells on a vaginal smear, and vaginal pH. Following completion of 12-weeks, women with an intact uterus were allowed to enroll in a 40-week double-blind extension study, and women without an intact uterus were allowed to enroll in a 52-week open-label extension study.

Trial 2 was a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial that enrolled 919 generally healthy postmenopausal women between 41 to 79 years of age (mean 59 years of age) who at baseline had ≤5 percent superficial cells on a vaginal smear, a vaginal pH >5.0, and who identified either moderate to severe vaginal dryness (dryness cohort) or moderate to severe dyspareunia (dyspareunia cohort) as most bothersome to her at baseline. Treatment groups included 60 mg ospemifene (n=463) and placebo (n=456). Primary endpoints and study conduct were similar to those in Trial 1.

Trial 3 was a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial that enrolled 631 generally healthy postmenopausal women between 40 and 80 years of age (mean 60 years of age) who at baseline had ≤5 percent superficial cells on a vaginal smear, a vaginal pH >5.0, and had moderate to severe vaginal dryness as the self-reported most bothersome symptom of VVA. Treatment groups included 60 mg ospemifene (n=316) and placebo (n=315). Primary endpoints and study conduct were similar to those in Trials 1 and 2. In Trial 3, 52 healthy postmenopausal women in the 60 mg ospemifene treatment group and 53 in placebo received treatment for up to 52-weeks.

Trial 4 was a 52-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, long-term safety trial that enrolled 426 generally healthy postmenopausal women between 49 to 79 years of age (mean 62 years of age) with an intact uterus. Treatment groups included 60 mg ospemifene (n=363) and placebo (n=63).

4 Contraindications

OSPHENA is contraindicated in women with any of the following conditions:

  • Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding.
  • Estrogen-dependent neoplasia.
  • Active DVT, PE, or a history of these conditions.
  • Active arterial thromboembolic disease (for example, stroke and MI), or a history of these conditions.
  • Hypersensitivity (for example, angioedema, urticaria, rash, pruritus) to OSPHENA or any ingredients.
  • OSPHENA is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant. OSPHENA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Ospemifene was embryo-fetal lethal with labor difficulties and increased pup deaths in rats at doses below clinical exposures, and embryo-fetal lethal in rabbits at 10 times the clinical exposure based on mg/m 2. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if a woman becomes pregnant while taking this drug, she should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus.
6 Adverse Reactions

The following serious adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling:

7 Drug Interactions

OSPHENA is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. CYP2C19 and other pathways contribute to the metabolism of ospemifene.

8.6 Renal Impairment

The pharmacokinetics of ospemifene in women with severe renal impairment (CrCL <30 mL/min) was similar to those in women with normal renal function [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

No dose adjustment of OSPHENA is required in women with renal impairment.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

Generally, a serum estrogen concentration does not predict an individual woman’s therapeutic response to OSPHENA nor her risk for adverse outcomes.

8.7 Hepatic Impairment

The pharmacokinetics of ospemifene has not been studied in women with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C); therefore, do not use OSPHENA in women with severe hepatic impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

No clinically important pharmacokinetic differences with OSPHENA were observed between women with mild to moderate hepatic impairment and healthy women [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

No dose adjustment of OSPHENA is required in women with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment.

1 Indications and Usage

OSPHENA is indicated for:

12.1 Mechanism of Action

OSPHENA is an estrogen receptor agonist/antagonist with tissue selective effects. Its biological actions are mediated through binding to estrogen receptors. This binding results in activation of estrogenic pathways in some tissues (agonism) and blockade of estrogenic pathways in others (antagonism).

16.2 Storage and Handling

Store at 20ºC to 25ºC (68ºF to 77ºF); excursions permitted to 15ºC to 30ºC (59ºF to 86ºF) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].

5 Warnings and Precautions
  • Venous Thromboembolism: Risk of DVT and PE ( 5.1)
  • Known, suspected, or history of breast cancer ( 5.2)
  • Severe Hepatic Impairment ( 5.3, 8.7, 12.3)
2 Dosage and Administration

OSPHENA is an estrogen agonist/antagonist which has agonistic effects on the endometrium [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Use OSPHENA for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman. Reevaluate postmenopausal women periodically as clinically appropriate to determine if treatment is still necessary.

3 Dosage Forms and Strengths

OSPHENA tablets are white to off-white, oval, biconvex, film coated tablets containing 60 mg of ospemifene and engraved with "60" on one side.

5.1 Cardiovascular Disorders

Manage appropriately any risk factors for cardiovascular disorders, arterial vascular disease (for example, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, tobacco use, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity) and/or venous thromboembolism (VTE) (for example, personal history or family history of VTE, obesity, and systemic lupus erythematosus).

6.2 Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of ospemifene. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Neoplasms Benign, Malignant and Unspecified (incl. cysts and polyps): endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer

Immune System Disorders: allergic conditions including hypersensitivity, angioedema

Nervous System Disorders: headache

Vascular Disorders: deep vein thrombosis, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism

Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: rash, rash erythematous, rash generalized, pruritus, urticaria

5.3 Severe Hepatic Impairment

OSPHENA should not be used in women with severe hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

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 of OSPHENA has been assessed in ten phase 2/3 trials (N=2209) with doses ranging from 5 to 90 mg per day. The duration of treatment in these studies ranged from 6 weeks to 15 months. The majority of women (N=1683) had treatment exposure up to 12 weeks; 847 had up to 52 weeks (1 year) of exposure.

The incidence rates of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic stroke were 1.13 per thousand women years (1 reported case of thromboembolic stroke) and 3.39 per thousand women years (3 reported cases of hemorrhagic stroke), respectively in OSPHENA 60 mg treatment group and 3.15 (1 case of thromboembolic stroke) and 0 per thousand women years, respectively in placebo. There were 2 reported cases of DVT among the 1459 women in the OSPHENA 60 mg treatment group and 1 case of DVT among the 1136 women in the placebo group.

Table 1 lists adverse reactions occurring more frequently in the OSPHENA 60 mg treatment group than in placebo and at a frequency ≥1% in the 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. Table 2 lists adverse reactions occurring more frequently in the OSPHENA 60 mg treatment group than in placebo and at a frequency ≥1% in all clinical trials up to 52-weeks.

7.6 Highly Protein Bound Drugs

Ospemifene is more than 99% bound to serum proteins and might affect the protein binding of other drugs. Use of OSPHENA with other drug products that are highly protein-bound may lead to increased exposure of either that drug or ospemifene [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

7.7 Multiple Enzyme Inhibition

Co-administration of OSPHENA with a drug known to inhibit CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 isoenzymes may increase the risk of OSPHENA-related adverse reactions.

17 Patient Counseling Information

Advise women to read the FDA-approved labeling (Patient Information).

7.1 Estrogens and Estrogen Agonist/antagonist

Do not use OSPHENA concomitantly with estrogens and estrogen agonists/antagonists. The safety of concomitant use of OSPHENA with estrogens and estrogen agonists/antagonists has not been studied.

Section 43683-2 (43683-2)

Warnings and Precautions, Malignant Neoplasms ( 5.2)              02/2025

7.3 Rifampin

Rifampin, a strong CYP3A4 / moderate CYP2C9 / moderate CYP2C19 inducer, decreases the systemic exposure of ospemifene by 58%. Therefore, co-administration of OSPHENA with drugs such as rifampin which induce CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and/or CYP2C19 activity would be expected to decrease the systemic exposure of ospemifene, which may decrease the clinical effect [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

7.5 Warfarin

Repeated administration of ospemifene had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of a single 10 mg dose of warfarin. No study was conducted with multiple doses of warfarin. The effect of ospemifene on clotting time such as the International Normalized Ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) was not studied [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

11 Description (11 DESCRIPTION)

OSPHENA is an estrogen agonist/antagonist. OSPHENA is not a hormone. The chemical structure of ospemifene is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Chemical Structure

The chemical designation is Z-2-[4-(4-chloro-1,2-diphenylbut-1-enyl)phenoxy]ethanol, and has the empirical formula C 24H 23ClO 2, which corresponds to a molecular weight of 378.9. Ospemifene is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is insoluble in water and soluble in ethanol.

Each OSPHENA tablet contains 60 mg of ospemifene. Inactive ingredients include colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, povidone, pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate, titanium dioxide, and triacetin.

7.2 Fluconazole

Do not use OSPHENA concomitantly with fluconazole, a moderate CYP3A / strong CYP2C9 / moderate CYP2C19 inhibitor. Fluconazole increases the systemic exposure of ospemifene by 2.7-fold. Administration of fluconazole with ospemifene may increase the risk of OSPHENA-related adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

7.4 Ketoconazole

Ketoconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, increases the systemic exposure of ospemifene by 1.4-fold. Administration of ketoconazole chronically with ospemifene may increase the risk of OSPHENA-related adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

16.1 How Supplied

OSPHENA tablets are white to off-white, oval, biconvex, film coated tablets containing 60 mg of ospemifene and engraved with "60" on one side. They are available as follows:

NDC 55494-580-90 Bottle of 90 tablets
NDC 55494-580-30 Bottle of 30 tablets

8.4 Pediatric Use

OSPHENA is not indicated in pediatric patients. Clinical studies have not been conducted in the pediatric population.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Of the 2209 OSPHENA-treated women enrolled in the ten phase 2/3 trials of OSPHENA, >19 percent were 65 years of age or older. No clinically meaningful differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these women and younger women less than 65 years of age.

14 Clinical Studies (14 CLINICAL STUDIES)

The effectiveness and safety of OSPHENA on moderate to severe symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women were examined in four placebo-controlled clinical trials (three 12-week efficacy trials and one 52-week long-term safety trial). In the four placebo-controlled trials, a total of 1100 women received placebo and 1416 women received 60 mg OSPHENA.

Trial 1 was a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial that enrolled 826 generally healthy postmenopausal women between 41 to 81 years of age (mean 59 years of age) who at baseline had ≤5 percent superficial cells on a vaginal smear, a vaginal pH >5.0, and who identified at least one moderate to severe vaginal symptom that was considered the most bothersome to her (vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse [dyspareunia], or vaginal irritation/itching). Treatment groups included 30 mg ospemifene (n=282), 60 mg ospemifene (n=276), and placebo (n=268). All women were assessed for improvement in the mean change from baseline to Week 12 for the co-primary efficacy variables of: most bothersome symptom (MBS) of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (defined as the individual moderate to severe symptom that was identified by the woman as most bothersome at baseline), percentage of vaginal superficial and vaginal parabasal cells on a vaginal smear, and vaginal pH. Following completion of 12-weeks, women with an intact uterus were allowed to enroll in a 40-week double-blind extension study, and women without an intact uterus were allowed to enroll in a 52-week open-label extension study.

Trial 2 was a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial that enrolled 919 generally healthy postmenopausal women between 41 to 79 years of age (mean 59 years of age) who at baseline had ≤5 percent superficial cells on a vaginal smear, a vaginal pH >5.0, and who identified either moderate to severe vaginal dryness (dryness cohort) or moderate to severe dyspareunia (dyspareunia cohort) as most bothersome to her at baseline. Treatment groups included 60 mg ospemifene (n=463) and placebo (n=456). Primary endpoints and study conduct were similar to those in Trial 1.

Trial 3 was a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial that enrolled 631 generally healthy postmenopausal women between 40 and 80 years of age (mean 60 years of age) who at baseline had ≤5 percent superficial cells on a vaginal smear, a vaginal pH >5.0, and had moderate to severe vaginal dryness as the self-reported most bothersome symptom of VVA. Treatment groups included 60 mg ospemifene (n=316) and placebo (n=315). Primary endpoints and study conduct were similar to those in Trials 1 and 2. In Trial 3, 52 healthy postmenopausal women in the 60 mg ospemifene treatment group and 53 in placebo received treatment for up to 52-weeks.

Trial 4 was a 52-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, long-term safety trial that enrolled 426 generally healthy postmenopausal women between 49 to 79 years of age (mean 62 years of age) with an intact uterus. Treatment groups included 60 mg ospemifene (n=363) and placebo (n=63).

4 Contraindications (4 CONTRAINDICATIONS)

OSPHENA is contraindicated in women with any of the following conditions:

  • Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding.
  • Estrogen-dependent neoplasia.
  • Active DVT, PE, or a history of these conditions.
  • Active arterial thromboembolic disease (for example, stroke and MI), or a history of these conditions.
  • Hypersensitivity (for example, angioedema, urticaria, rash, pruritus) to OSPHENA or any ingredients.
  • OSPHENA is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant. OSPHENA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Ospemifene was embryo-fetal lethal with labor difficulties and increased pup deaths in rats at doses below clinical exposures, and embryo-fetal lethal in rabbits at 10 times the clinical exposure based on mg/m 2. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if a woman becomes pregnant while taking this drug, she should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus.
6 Adverse Reactions (6 ADVERSE REACTIONS)

The following serious adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling:

7 Drug Interactions (7 DRUG INTERACTIONS)

OSPHENA is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. CYP2C19 and other pathways contribute to the metabolism of ospemifene.

8.6 Renal Impairment

The pharmacokinetics of ospemifene in women with severe renal impairment (CrCL <30 mL/min) was similar to those in women with normal renal function [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

No dose adjustment of OSPHENA is required in women with renal impairment.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

Generally, a serum estrogen concentration does not predict an individual woman’s therapeutic response to OSPHENA nor her risk for adverse outcomes.

8.7 Hepatic Impairment

The pharmacokinetics of ospemifene has not been studied in women with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C); therefore, do not use OSPHENA in women with severe hepatic impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

No clinically important pharmacokinetic differences with OSPHENA were observed between women with mild to moderate hepatic impairment and healthy women [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

No dose adjustment of OSPHENA is required in women with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment.

1 Indications and Usage (1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE)

OSPHENA is indicated for:

12.1 Mechanism of Action

OSPHENA is an estrogen receptor agonist/antagonist with tissue selective effects. Its biological actions are mediated through binding to estrogen receptors. This binding results in activation of estrogenic pathways in some tissues (agonism) and blockade of estrogenic pathways in others (antagonism).

16.2 Storage and Handling

Store at 20ºC to 25ºC (68ºF to 77ºF); excursions permitted to 15ºC to 30ºC (59ºF to 86ºF) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].

5 Warnings and Precautions (5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS)
  • Venous Thromboembolism: Risk of DVT and PE ( 5.1)
  • Known, suspected, or history of breast cancer ( 5.2)
  • Severe Hepatic Impairment ( 5.3, 8.7, 12.3)
2 Dosage and Administration (2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION)

OSPHENA is an estrogen agonist/antagonist which has agonistic effects on the endometrium [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Use OSPHENA for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman. Reevaluate postmenopausal women periodically as clinically appropriate to determine if treatment is still necessary.

3 Dosage Forms and Strengths (3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS)

OSPHENA tablets are white to off-white, oval, biconvex, film coated tablets containing 60 mg of ospemifene and engraved with "60" on one side.

5.1 Cardiovascular Disorders

Manage appropriately any risk factors for cardiovascular disorders, arterial vascular disease (for example, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, tobacco use, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity) and/or venous thromboembolism (VTE) (for example, personal history or family history of VTE, obesity, and systemic lupus erythematosus).

6.2 Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of ospemifene. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Neoplasms Benign, Malignant and Unspecified (incl. cysts and polyps): endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer

Immune System Disorders: allergic conditions including hypersensitivity, angioedema

Nervous System Disorders: headache

Vascular Disorders: deep vein thrombosis, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism

Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: rash, rash erythematous, rash generalized, pruritus, urticaria

5.3 Severe Hepatic Impairment

OSPHENA should not be used in women with severe hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

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 of OSPHENA has been assessed in ten phase 2/3 trials (N=2209) with doses ranging from 5 to 90 mg per day. The duration of treatment in these studies ranged from 6 weeks to 15 months. The majority of women (N=1683) had treatment exposure up to 12 weeks; 847 had up to 52 weeks (1 year) of exposure.

The incidence rates of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic stroke were 1.13 per thousand women years (1 reported case of thromboembolic stroke) and 3.39 per thousand women years (3 reported cases of hemorrhagic stroke), respectively in OSPHENA 60 mg treatment group and 3.15 (1 case of thromboembolic stroke) and 0 per thousand women years, respectively in placebo. There were 2 reported cases of DVT among the 1459 women in the OSPHENA 60 mg treatment group and 1 case of DVT among the 1136 women in the placebo group.

Table 1 lists adverse reactions occurring more frequently in the OSPHENA 60 mg treatment group than in placebo and at a frequency ≥1% in the 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. Table 2 lists adverse reactions occurring more frequently in the OSPHENA 60 mg treatment group than in placebo and at a frequency ≥1% in all clinical trials up to 52-weeks.

7.6 Highly Protein Bound Drugs (7.6 Highly Protein-Bound Drugs)

Ospemifene is more than 99% bound to serum proteins and might affect the protein binding of other drugs. Use of OSPHENA with other drug products that are highly protein-bound may lead to increased exposure of either that drug or ospemifene [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

7.7 Multiple Enzyme Inhibition

Co-administration of OSPHENA with a drug known to inhibit CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 isoenzymes may increase the risk of OSPHENA-related adverse reactions.
