FDA Drug Safety Communication: FDA review found no increased cardiovascular risks with Parkinson’s disease drug entacapone Movement Disorder Society Publication, 2013 . Benicar (olmesartan) NDA 021286 Daiichi Sankyo Medicare claims data Retrospective cohort study In FDA’s review of Olmesartan, an FDA conducted retrospective cohort study in Medicare found no clear evidence of increased cardiovascular risks associated with high dose use in diabetic patients. As a result, FDA’s recommendations for use of olmesartan (BENICAR, BENICAR HCT, AZOR, TRIBENZOR, and generics) in patients with diabetes remained the same. This resulted in a DSC and the addition of the study information in the labeling. Olmesartan DSC, June 24, 2014 (Medicare study results added to labeling). FDA Drug Safety Communication: FDA review of cardiovascular risks for diabetics taking hypertension drug olmesartan not conclusive; label updates required Benicar, Benicar hct (Olmesartan), Azor, Tribenzor (medoxomil) Multiple NDAs Daiichi Sankyo Inc. Mini-Sentinel and Medicare Retrospective cohort study In FDA’s review of Olmesartan, an FDA evaluation of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and the published literature found evidence of an association between olmesartan and sprue-like enteropathy. To evaluate an ARB class association FDA conducted a retrospective cohort study in Mini-Sentinel and Medicare. These study results did not support a class effect. This resulted in an FDA safety communication that Olmesartan-containing products can cause intestinal problems known as sprue-like enteropathy. Olmesartan Safety Communications & Labeling Changes (Sentinel Initiative), July. 3, 2013. FDA Approves Labeling Changes to Include Intestinal Problems (Sprue-Like Enteropathy) Linked to Blood Pressure Medicine Olmesartan Medoxomil Pradaxa (dabigatran) NDA 022512 Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc Mini-Sentinel Retrospective cohort study In 2012, an FDA conducted retrospective cohort study in Mini-Sentinel evaluated new information about the risk of serious bleeding associated with use of dabigatran (PRADAXA) and warfarin (COUMADIN, JANTOVEN, and generics). The results indicated that bleeding rates associated with new use of Pradaxa did not appear to be higher than bleeding rates associated with new use of warfarin, which was consistent with observations from the large clinical trial used to approve Pradaxa. FDA issued a DSC to communicate the findings and a communication via the Sentinel initiative website. DSC November, 02,2012 FDA Drug Safety Communication: Update on the risk for serious bleeding events with the anticoagulant Pradaxa (dabigatran) Sentinel Initiative, October. 31, 2012.

In Black patients, there was a substantial reduction in MACE and mortality after the labeling change. A bundled comprehensive payment system for dialysis that includes the costs of ESAs, and a revised drug label that recommends more conservative dosing had no adverse effects on older dialysis patients covered by fee-for-service Medicare. This resulted in a publication. The labeling change regarding use in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) was approved on June 24,2011 JAMA Publication, 2016. Avandia (rosiglitazone) NDA 021071 GlaxoSmithKline Medicare claims data Retrospective cohort study FDA conducted a retrospective cohort study in Medicare that evaluated the risk of heart attacks in patients taking rosiglitazone. The study resulted in labeling changes and an update to the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) to include a restricted access and distribution program for all three rosiglitazone products. This also resulted in two Drug Safety Communications (DSC). Rosiglitazone DSC, May 18, 2011 (imposition of REMS for rosiglitazone use). FDA Drug Safety Communication: Updated Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) to Restrict Access to Rosiglitazone-containing Medicines including Avandia, Avandamet, and Avandaryl Rosiglitazone DSC and labeling change, February 3, 2011 (Medicare results added to label). FDA Drug Safety Communication: Avandia (rosiglitazone) labeling now contains updated information about cardiovascular risks and use in certain patients Imitrex (sumatriptan), Treximet® (sumatriptan and naproxen sodium) NDA 020626/ 020080/ 020132/ 021926/ GSK Pregnancy registry Prospective registry study The Sumatriptan/Naratriptan/Treximet Pregnancy Registry collected data on fetal malformations and birth defects from in-utero exposure to sumatriptan (January 1996 to September 2012). A prospective study conducted by the Sponsor identified too few exposed pregnancy outcomes to support definitive conclusions about overall malformation risk or for making comparisons of the frequencies of specific birth defects. Section 8 of the label was updated to reflect that data from the prospective pregnancy exposure registry and other epidemiological studies of pregnant women did not show an increased frequency of birth defects or a consistent pattern of birth defects among women exposed to sumatriptan compared with the general population. Completed Pregnancy Registry Study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT01059604) Sumatriptan and Naratriptan Pregnancy Registry Study IMITREX labeling update December 14, 2017: See Section: 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS, 8.1 Pregnancy TREXIMET labeling update April 28,2021: TREXIMET labeling update April 28, 2021: See Section: 8 USE INSPECIFIC POPULATIONS, 8.1 Pregnancy Amerge (naratriptan) NDA 020763 GSK Pregnancy registry Prospective registry study The Sumatriptan/Naratriptan/Treximet Pregnancy Registry collected data on adverse fetal outcomes from in utero exposure to naratriptan. Section 8 of the AMERGE labeling was updated to reflect that no definitive conclusions could be drawn from the registry and epidemiological studies regarding the risk of birth defects following exposure to naratriptan. AMERGE label update November 29, 2016 See Section: 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS, 8.1 Pregnancy Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) Multiple NDAs Multiple sponsors Medicare claims data Case-control study In FDA’s review of drugs repurposed for treating patients with COVID-19 or drugs being taken by patients with COVID-19, there was concern that PPI use might increase the risk of developing severe COVID-19. An FDA conducted case control study in Medicare compared new users of PPIs versus new users of histamine-2 receptor antagonists and found that PPIs were not associated with increased risk uncomplicated or complicated (ICU, mechanical ventilation, death) COVID-19 hospitalizations. This provided reassurance to FDA that regulatory action was not needed. This resulted in a publication. Pharmacotherapy publication, 2024 . Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors (multiple) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) (multiple) Multiple NDAs Multiple sponsors Medicare claims data Case-control study In FDA’s review of ACE inhibitors or ARBs, an FDA conducted case-control study in Medicare evaluated the effect of ACE inhibitors or ARBs on the risk of developing severe COVID-19 and found that use of these drugs was not associated with increased risk of hospitalized COVID-19 or COVID-19-related mortality. No labeling changes were warranted. This resulted in a publication. Journal of General Internal Medicine publication, 2021. EPOGEN, PROCRIT, ARANESP (Erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESA)) BLA 103234 and 103951 Amgen Medicare Retrospective cohort study FDA reviewed the effect of the REMS for ESA use for chemotherapy-induced anemia, during and after the discontinuation of the REMS, and conducted a restrospective cohort study in Medicare that showed that the REMS had minimal impact on ESA use or transfusion rates and that the removal of the REMS did not affect subsequent ESA use or blood transfusions. Study results provided reassurance that FDA's removal of the REMS had not led to increased ESA use or transfusions. This resulted in a publication. Pharmacoepidemiology Drug Safety publication, 2021 . LYBREL (ethinyl estradiol; levonorgestrel) NDA 021864 Pfizer Sentinel System Retrospective cohort study An FDA conducted retrospective cohort study evaluated the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) for extended cycle contraceptives to determine whether these posed a greater risk of VTE due to increased hormone exposure, compared to 28-day products. The study provided reassurance that VTE risk was not substantially different between traditional and extended use oral contraceptives. JAMA Publication 2018 Januvia (sitagliptin) NDA 021995 Merck Pregnancy registry Prospective registry study A prospective study conducted by the Sponsor in a pregnancy registry identified too few exposed pregnancy outcomes to support definitive conclusions about overall malformation risk or for making comparisons of the frequencies of specific birth defects. Section 8 of the labeling was updated to reflect that the data available for pregnant women exposed to sitagliptin were not sufficient to inform a drug- associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage.
