INLEXZO GEMCITABINE INTRAVESICAL
JANSSEN BIOTECH, INC FDA Rx Only

INLEXZO contains gemcitabine hydrochloride, a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor. Gemcitabine hydrochloride is 2'-deoxy-2',2'- difluorocytidine monohydrochloride (β-isomer) with a molecular formula of C9H11F2N3O4 ∙ HCl, and a molecular weight of 299.66. The structural formula is: INLEXZO is a sterile, non-resorbable intravesical system containing the equivalent of 225 mg gemcitabine (present as 256.3 mg of gemcitabine hydrochloride). Gemcitabine Intravesical System INLEXZO is a bi-oval-shaped tube containing an almost white to light pink-brown colored gemcitabine component at the center surrounded on each side by off white to light blue-colored osmotic components. The gemcitabine component contains 225 mg of gemcitabine and the following inactive ingredients: polyethylene glycol 8000 (8.0 mg), povidone K30 (13.4 mg), and urea (42.6 mg). The osmotic components contain the following inactive ingredients: FD&C Blue No.1 (0.0042 mg), polyethylene oxide 600,000 (72.0 mg), and urea (648.0 mg). The silicone tube contains two lumens, the larger one containing the drug components and silicone spacers, and the smaller one containing a superelastic nitinol wire in a predefined shape (wireform). Both lumens are capped with a silicone adhesive. The lumen containing the gemcitabine and osmotic components has a single delivery orifice. INLEXZO's coiled dimensions are approximately 5.5 cm wide × 4.5 cm high. Urinary Catheter and Stylet INLEXZO is co-packaged with a sterile urinary catheter and a sterile stylet, required for transurethral insertion into the bladder. The urinary catheter and stylet are made of thermoplastic elastomer and polyethene, and consist of the following components: A semi-transparent urinary catheter, with a rounded blunt distal tip that includes a coudé tip, a product exit port near the distal tip, and a lumen which extends from the exit port to an open proximal end. The outer diameter of the urinary catheter is 5.82 mm (17.5 Fr). Printed depth markings are placed on the urinary catheter to indicate insertion depth and orientation of the coudé tip to assist the user during insertion. A green stylet with a hub at the proximal end is used to advance INLEXZO through the urinary catheter lumen and into the bladder. The stylet length and proximal hub prevent the stylet's distal end from advancement beyond the exit port. Chemical Structure
