3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

MYDCOMBI is a sterile, clear, colorless, topical ophthalmic spray containing tropicamide 1% (w/w) and phenylephrine hydrochloride 2.5% (w/w). Each metered spray delivers 0.008 mL which contains 0.08 mg tropicamide and 0.2 mg phenylephrine hydrochloride.

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

4.1 Known Hypersensitivity

Contraindicated in persons showing known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Topical Ophthalmic Use

MYDCOMBI is not indicated for injection.

5.2 Blood Pressure Elevation

Caution should be exercised with the use of MYDCOMBI in pediatric patients less than 5 years of age and patients with hyperthyroidism, or cardiovascular disease. The post-treatment blood pressure of patients with cardiac and endocrine diseases and any patients who develop symptoms should be carefully monitored.

5.3 Central Nervous System Disturbances

Tropicamide in MYDCOMBI may cause CNS disturbances which may be dangerous in pediatric patients. The possibility of psychotic reactions and behavioral disturbances due to hypersensitivity to anticholinergic drugs should be considered.

5.4 Intraocular Pressure

Mydriatics may produce a transient elevation of intraocular pressure.

5.5 Rebound Miosis

Rebound miosis has been reported one day after receiving phenylephrine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, and re-administration of the drug produced a lesser mydriatic effect.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

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 most common adverse reactions (incidence < 2%) were transient blurred vision, reduced visual acuity, photophobia, and mild eye discomfort.

6.1 Ocular Adverse Reactions

Transient blurred vision, reduced visual acuity, photophobia, superficial punctate keratitis, and mild eye discomfort may occur. Increased intraocular pressure has been reported following the use of mydriatics.

6.2 Systemic Adverse Reactions

Dryness of the mouth, tachycardia, headache, allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, pallor, central nervous system disturbances and muscle rigidity have been reported with the use of tropicamide. Psychotic reactions, behavioral disturbances, and vasomotor or cardiorespiratory collapse in children have been reported with the use of anticholinergic drugs.

A marked increase in blood pressure has been reported with the use of phenylephrine, particularly, but not limited to, low weight premature neonates, infants, and hypertensive patients.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

7.1 Agents That May Exaggerate Pressor Responses

Phenylephrine in MYDCOMBI may enhance the pressor effects of atropine-like drugs and induce tachycardia in some patients.

7.2 Cholinergic Agonists and Ophthalmic Cholinesterase Inhibitors

Tropicamide in MYDCOMBI may interfere with the antihypertensive action of carbachol, pilocarpine, or ophthalmic cholinesterase inhibitors.

7.3 Potent Inhalation Anesthetic Agents

Phenylephrine in MYDCOMBI may potentiate the cardiovascular depressant effects of some inhalation anesthetic agents.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

There are no available data on MYDCOMBI use in pregnant women or animals to inform any drug-associated risks. It is also not known whether tropicamide or phenylephrine can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. MYDCOMBI should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of tropicamide or phenylephrine in human milk from the administration of MYDCOMBI, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for MYDCOMBI and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from MYDCOMBI.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Tropicamide in MYDCOMBI may rarely cause CNS disturbances which may be dangerous in pediatric patients. Psychotic reactions, behavioral disturbances, and vasomotor or cardiorespiratory collapse in children have been reported with the use of anticholinergic drugs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

8.5 Geriatric Use

No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of MYDCOMBI have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.

10 OVERDOSAGE

Overdosage of MYDCOMBI may cause a rapid rise in blood pressure. It may also cause headache, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, and ventricular arrhythmias. Prompt injection of a rapidly acting alpha- adrenergic blocking agent such as phentolamine has been recommended.

11 DESCRIPTION

MYDCOMBI is a sterile, clear, colorless fixed dose combination of an anticholinergic (tropicamide) and an alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist (phenylephrine hydrochloride) for topical ophthalmic use. The 2 active ingredients are represented by the chemical structures below.

Tropicamide:

Chemical Name: Benzeneacetamide, N-ethyl-α-(hydroxymethyl)-N-(4-pyridinylmethyl)-

Molecular Formula: C17H20N2O2

Molecular Weight: 284.35 g/mol

Phenylephrine Hydrochloride:

Chemical Name: (R)-3-hydroxy-α[(methylamino)methyl]benzenemethanol hydrochloride

Molecular Formula: C9H13NO2∙HCl

Molecular Weight: 203.67 g/mol

Each mL of MYDCOMBI ophthalmic spray (sterile) contains: ACTIVES: Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 2.5% (25 mg) equivalent to 20.6 mg of phenylephrine base, Tropicamide 1% (10 mg); INACTIVE: Hydrochloric Acid and/or Sodium Hydroxide may be added to adjust pH (pH 4.8–5.2), Water for Injection; PRESERVATIVE: Benzalkonium Chloride 0.01% (0.1 mg).

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Tropicamide, the anticholinergic component of MYDCOMBI, blocks the responses of the sphincter muscle of the iris, dilating the pupil (mydriasis). Phenylephrine hydrochloride, the alpha-1 adrenergic agonist component of MYDCOMBI, acts as a mydriatic agent by contracting the dilator muscle of the iris.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

MYDCOMBI acts in 15 to 30 minutes with maximal mydriasis occurring in 20 to 90 minutes. Darker irides tend to dilate slower than lightly pigmented irides and to achieve maximal effect may require more doses than lighter irides.

Mydriasis will reverse spontaneously with time, with recovery after 3 to 8 hours. Complete recovery from mydriasis in some individuals may require 24 hours.

13 CLINICAL STUDIES

Two Phase 3 clinical trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of MYDCOMBI for achievement of mydriasis. The MIST-1 study was a prospective, double-masked, active-controlled, 3-period cross-over, superiority study to compare the pupil dilating effect of MYDCOMBI to tropicamide 1% and to phenylephrine 2.5%, with all solutions topically administered by the Optejet® Dispenser (N = 64 subjects; 128 eyes). The MIST-2 study was a prospective, multicenter, double-masked, placebo-controlled, 3-period crossover, superiority study to compare the pupil dilating effect of MYDCOMBI to placebo (eyewash solution), with both solutions topically administered by the Optejet Dispenser (N = 70 subjects; 140 eyes).

The primary efficacy endpoint for both studies was the mean change in 35-minute pupil diameter compared to baseline as measured by digital pupillometry in highly photopic conditions. Data from the 2 studies are presented in Table 1. At 35 minutes post-dose, the mean change in pupil diameter was 4.7 mm with MYDCOMBI, 4.1 mm with tropicamide, and 0.9 mm with phenylephrine in MIST-1, and was 4.8 mm with MYDCOMBI and 0.1 mm with placebo in MIST-2. MYDCOMBI was statistically superior to tropicamide administered alone and phenylephrine administered alone.

Table 1 Pupil Size and Change in Diameter from Baseline at 35 Minutes Post-Dose (MIST-1 and MIST-2) (Per-Protocol Population The per-protocol (PP) population included all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of study medication and completed all planned assessments (related to the primary endpoint) without major protocol violations. Two subjects in MIST-1 and one subject in MIST-2 who withdrew consent after their first treatment visit were not included in the PP populations which resulted in 62 completed subjects (124 eyes) in MIST-1 and 69 completed subjects (138 eyes) in MIST-2 comprised the PP populations. Sensitivity analysis performed on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population including all randomized subjects resulted in consistent efficacy results. )

MYDCOMBI provided a clinically significant effect in the proportion of eyes achieving pupil diameter of ≥ 6 mm at 35-minute post-dose in 94% of eyes compared to 78% of eyes administered tropicamide alone and 1.6% of eyes administered phenylephrine alone, and 0% of eyes administered placebo. As shown in Figure 2, peak effect was measured at the 80-minute evaluation when the mean change from baseline was 5.2 mm. Treatment differences in mydriasis were observed as early as 20 minutes and still present at 180 minutes post-dose, the end of the protocol-specified observation period.
