What is it used for?

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE EUCRISA is indicated for topical treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in adult and pediatric patients 3 months of age and older. EUCRISA is a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor indicated for topical treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in adult and pediatric patients 3 months of age and older.

How to take it

Apply a thin layer of EUCRISA twice daily to affected areas. Once clinical effect is achieved, consider reducing application to once daily . EUCRISA is for topical use only and not for ophthalmic, oral, or intravaginal use. • Apply a thin layer twice daily to affected areas. • Once clinical effect is achieved, consider reducing application to once daily. • For topical use only. • Not for ophthalmic, oral, or intravaginal use.

Warnings

Hypersensitivity reactions : If signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity occur, discontinue EUCRISA immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.

Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity

reactions, including contact urticaria, have occurred in patients treated with EUCRISA. Hypersensitivity should be suspected in the event of severe pruritus, swelling and erythema at the application site or at a distant site. If signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity occur, discontinue EUCRISA immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.

Who should not take it

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS EUCRISA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to crisaborole or any component of the formulation. Known hypersensitivity to crisaborole or any component of the formulation.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy Risk Summary Available

data from case reports with EUCRISA use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, there were no adverse developmental effects observed with oral administration of crisaborole in pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 3 and 2 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies carry some risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.

The background risk of major birth defects in the U.S. general population is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. Data Animal Data Rat and rabbit embryo-fetal development was assessed after oral administration of crisaborole. Crisaborole did not cause adverse effects to the fetus at oral doses up to 300 mg/kg/day in pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis (3 times the MRHD on an area under the curve (AUC) comparison basis).

No crisaborole-related fetal malformations were noted after oral treatment with crisaborole in pregnant rats at doses up to 600 mg/kg/day (13 times the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis) during the period of organogenesis. Maternal toxicity was produced at this high dose of 600 mg/kg/day in pregnant rats and was associated with decreased fetal body weight and delayed skeletal ossification. Crisaborole did not cause adverse effects to the fetus at oral doses up to the highest dose tested of 100 mg/kg/day in pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis (2 times the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis).

In a prenatal/postnatal development study, pregnant rats were treated with crisaborole at doses of 150, 300, or 600 mg/kg/day by oral gavage during gestation and lactation (from gestation day 7 through day 20 of lactation). Crisaborole did not have any adverse effects on fetal development at doses up to 300 mg/kg/day (3 times the MRHD on an AUC comparison basis). Maternal toxicity was produced at the high dose of 600 mg/kg/day in pregnant rats and was associated with stillbirths, pup mortality, and reduced pup weights.

Side effects

The most common adverse reaction occurring in ≥1% in subjects is application site pain. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pfizer Inc. at 1-800-438-1985 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

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. In two double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trials (Trial 1 and Trial 2), 1012 subjects 2 to 79 years of age with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis were treated with EUCRISA twice daily for 4 weeks. The adverse reaction reported by ≥1% of EUCRISA-treated subjects is listed in Table 1.

Table 1: Adverse Reaction Occurring in ≥1% of Subjects in Atopic Dermatitis Trials through Week 4 Adverse Reaction EUCRISA Twice Daily N=1012 n (%) Vehicle Twice Daily N=499 n (%) Application site pain Refers to skin sensations such as burning or stinging. 45 6 Less common (<1%) adverse reactions in subjects treated with EUCRISA included contact urticaria . In one double-blind, vehicle-controlled trial including an initial open-label period (Trial 3), 497 subjects 3 months of age and older with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis received EUCRISA twice daily for up to 8 weeks. This was followed by a double-blind period, during which 135 subjects out of 270 randomized subjects received EUCRISA and 135 subjects received vehicle once daily for 52 weeks or until they developed a flare. The adverse reactions observed in the open-label period were similar to the known safety profile of twice daily treatment with EUCRISA. The adverse reactions observed with once daily treatment were similar to vehicle .

Postmarketing Experience The

following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of EUCRISA. 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: Skin and Subcutaneous: allergic contact dermatitis
