Contraindications

  • urinary retention.
  • moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) or severe (Child-Pugh Class C) hepatic impairment.
  • gastric retention.
  • history of hypersensitivity to COBENFY or trospium chloride. Angioedema has been reported with COBENFY and trospium chloride.
  • untreated narrow-angle glaucoma.

Warnings

Risk of Urinary Retention

  • COBENFY can cause urinary retention.
  • Geriatric patients and patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction and incomplete bladder emptying (e.g., patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), diabetic cystopathy) may be at increased risk of urinary retention.
  • COBENFY is contraindicated in patients with pre-existing urinary retention, and is not recommended in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment.
  • In patients taking COBENFY, monitor for symptoms of urinary retention, including urinary hesitancy, weak stream, incomplete bladder emptying, and dysuria.
  • Instruct patients to be aware of the risk and promptly report symptoms of urinary retention to their healthcare provider.
  • Urinary retention is a known risk factor for urinary tract infections. In patients with symptoms of urinary retention, consider reducing the dose of COBENFY, discontinuing COBENFY, or referring patients for urologic evaluation as clinically indicated.

Risk of Use in Patients with Hepatic Impairment

  • Patients with hepatic impairment have higher systemic exposures of xanomeline, a component of COBENFY, compared to patients with normal hepatic function, which may result in increased incidence of COBENFY-related adverse reactions.
  • COBENFY is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment.
*COBENFY is not recommended in patients with mild hepatic impairment.
  • Assess liver enzymes prior to initiating COBENFY and as clinically indicated during treatment.

Risk of Use in Patients with Biliary Disease

  • n clinical studies with COBENFY, transient increases in liver enzymes with rapid decline occurred, consistent with transient biliary obstruction due to biliary contraction and possible gallstone passage.
  • COBENFY is not recommended for patients with active biliary disease such as symptomatic gallstones.
  • Assess liver enzymes and bilirubin prior to initiating COBENFY and as clinically indicated during treatment. The occurrence of symptoms such as dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, or upper abdominal pain should prompt assessment for gallbladder disorders, biliary disorders, and pancreatitis, as clinically indicated.
  • Discontinue COBENFY in the presence of signs or symptoms of substantial liver injury such as jaundice, pruritus, or alanine aminotransferase levels more than five times the upper limit of normal or five times baseline values.

Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility

  • COBENFY contains trospium chloride. Trospium chloride, like other antimuscarinic agents, may decrease gastrointestinal motility.
  • Administer COBENFY with caution in patients with gastrointestinal obstructive disorders because of the risk of gastric retention.
  • Use COBENFY with caution in patients with conditions such as ulcerative colitis, intestinal atony, and myasthenia gravis.

Risk of Angioedema

  • Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with COBENFY and trospium chloride, a component of COBENFY.
  • In one case, angioedema occurred after the first dose of trospium chloride.
  • Angioedema associated with upper airway swelling may be life-threatening. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, discontinue COBENFY and initiate appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary to ensure a patent airway.
  • COBENFY is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to trospium chloride.

Risk of Use in Patients with Narrow-angle Glaucoma

  • Pupillary dilation may occur due to the anticholinergic effects of COBENFY.
  • This may trigger an acute angle closure attack in patients with anatomically narrow angles.
  • In patients known to have anatomically narrow angles, COBENFY should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh the risks and with careful monitoring.

Increases in Heart Rate

  • COBENFY can increase heart rate.
  • Assess heart rate at baseline and as clinically indicated during treatment with COBENFY.

Anticholinergic Adverse Reactions in Patients with Renal Impairment

  • Trospium chloride, a component of COBENFY, is substantially excreted by the kidney.
*COBENFY is not recommended in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min). Systemic exposure of trospium chloride is higher in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment.
  • Therefore, anticholinergic adverse reactions (including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, urinary tract infection, and urinary retention) are expected to be greater in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment

Central Nervous System Effects

  • Trospium chloride, a component of COBENFY, is associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) effects

.

  • A variety of CNS anticholinergic effects have been reported with trospium chloride, including dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, and somnolence.
  • Monitor patients for signs of anticholinergic CNS effects, particularly after beginning treatment or increasing the dose.
  • Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how COBENFY affects them.
  • If a patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects, consider dose reduction or drug discontinuation.

Adverse Reactions

Clinical Trials Experience

  • Risk of Urinary Retention.
  • Risk of Use in Patients with Hepatic Impairment.
  • Risk of Use in Patients with Biliary Disease.
  • Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility.
  • Risk of Angioedema.
  • Risk of Use in Patients with Narrow-angle Glaucoma.
  • Increases in Heart Rate.
  • Anticholinergic Adverse Reactions in Patients with Renal Impairment.
  • Central Nervous System Effects.
  • 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.
  • COBENFY was evaluated for safety in a total of 1,594 subjects exposed to one or more doses, including 1,135 adult patients with schizophrenia and 389 healthy subjects. A total of 347 COBENFY-treated patients had at least 6 months of exposure and 150 patients had at least 1 year of exposure (defined as ≥ 50 weeks) from open-label studies.
  • The adverse reaction findings are based on two pooled 5-week, placebo-controlled, flexible-dose studies in 504 adult patients with schizophrenia in which COBENFY or placebo was started at an initial dose of 50 mg/20 mg twice daily for the first 2 days followed by 100 mg/20 mg twice daily for the remainder of Week 1 (Days 3 to 7). On Day 8, dosing was titrated to 125 mg/30 mg twice daily unless the patient could not tolerate it. All patients had the option to return to 100 mg/20 mg twice daily for the remainder of the treatment period.
  • In the 5-week placebo-controlled studies, 6% of patients treated with COBENFY and 4% of placebo-treated patients discontinued participation due to adverse reactions. Adverse reactions that led to study discontinuation in ≥1% of patients treated with COBENFY include nausea (2%) and vomiting (1%).
  • The most common adverse reactions (≥5% and at least twice placebo) were nausea, dyspepsia, constipation, vomiting, hypertension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, tachycardia, dizziness, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
  • Adverse reactions reported with COBENFY at an incidence of at least 2% in patients exposed to COBENFY and greater than the rate of placebo are shown in Table 1.
Adverse Reactions Reported in ≥2% of COBENFY-Treated Patients and Greater than Rate of Placebo in Two 5-week Schizophrenia Trials

a Dyspepsia includesdyspepsia, esophageal discomfort b Hypertension includes hypertension, blood pressure increased, labile hypertension, orthostatic hypertension c Abdominal Pain includesabdominal discomfort, abdominal pain upper, abdominal pain, abdominal pain lower, abdominal tenderness d Tachycardia includestachycardia, heart rate increased, sinus tachycardia e Cough: includes cough, productive cough f EPS (non-akathisia) includes dyskinesia, drooling, dystonia, extrapyramidal disorder, muscle contraction involuntary, muscle spasms

Increases in Heart Rate

  • In a dedicated 8-week clinical study, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was conducted in 133 patients with schizophrenia. A total of 95 patients had acceptable ABPM recordings at both baseline and Week 8. In that group, there was a mean change in 24-hour heart rate of 9.8 beats per minute (bpm) (95% CI 7.5, 12.2) from baseline to Week 8.
  • In the two placebo-controlled schizophrenia studies, COBENFY was associated with increases in heart rate compared to placebo, with peak elevation occurring on Day 8 of study treatment (13.5 bpm in the COBENFY group and 4.0 bpm in the placebo group), partially attenuating with continued dosing (11.4 bpm in the COBENFY group and 5.5 bpm in the placebo group at Week 5).

Liver Enzyme Elevations

  • In the 5-week, placebo-controlled schizophrenia studies, the proportions of patients with ALT or AST elevations of ≥3 times the upper limits of the normal reference range were 2.8% (6/214) for COBENFY-treated patients compared to 0.4% (1/224) of placebo-treated patients.
  • Twenty-five (1.6%) of the total 1,594 subjects exposed to COBENFY had elevated liver enzymes. The majority of liver enzyme elevations occurred within the first month of treatment and resolved with continued COBENFY use, suggestive of liver adaptation; some cases required treatment interruption, and one was associated with an increase in bilirubin.

Urinary Retention

  • In the 5-week, placebo-controlled studies, urinary retention (urinary hesitation, dysuria, and urinary retention) was reported in 0.8% of COBENFY-treated patients and 0.4% on placebo.
  • In the long-term, open-label studies, urinary retention was reported in 3.5% of COBENFY-treated patients. Urinary retention was more common in males, geriatric patients, and those with certain risk factors.
*Urinary retention occurred at all doses but was predominately observed at the maximum COBENFY dose. 
  • In the long-term, open-label studies, urinary tract infections were reported in 2.3% of COBENFY-treated patients and were more commonly reported in females than males. Of the total 1,594 subjects exposed to COBENFY (including healthy volunteers and patients with schizophrenia or other conditions), four subjects required a Foley catheter, including one with elevated serum creatinine and one with urinary tract infections. Four subjects with urinary retention required reduction of COBENFY dose, four discontinued COBENFY, and four received medications for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of trospium chloride, one of the components of COBENFY. 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.

  • Cardiovascular – chest pain, hypertensive crisis, palpitations, supraventricular tachycardia, syncope.
  • Gastrointestinal – gastritis.
  • General – rash.
  • Musculoskeletal – rhabdomyolysis.
  • Nervous System – confusion, delirium, dizziness, hallucinations, somnolence, vision abnormal.
  • Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders – angioedema, anaphylactic reaction, Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

Drug Interactions

Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with COBENFY

Table 2 displays clinically significant drug interactions with COBENFY.

Other Antimuscarinic Drugs

  • Concomitant use of COBENFY with other antimuscarinic drugs that produce anticholinergic adverse reactions (e.g., dry mouth, constipation) may increase the frequency and/or severity of such effects.
  • Monitor patients for increased frequency and/or severity of anticholinergic adverse reactions when COBENFY is used concomitantly with other antimuscarinic drugs.

Effects on Absorption of Drugs

  • COBENFY may potentially alter the absorption of some concomitantly administered drugs due to anticholinergic effects on gastrointestinal motility.
  • Dosage adjustment of concomitant medications may be necessary based on clinical response and tolerability.

Use in Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category (FDA): Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors outcomes in women exposed to psychiatric medications, including COBENFY, during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to advise patients to register by calling 1-866-961-2388 or visiting online at HTTPS://WOMENSMENTALHEALTH.ORG/RESEARCH/PREGNANCYREGISTRY/ATYPICALANTIPSYCHOTIC/.

Risk Summary

  • There are no available data on COBENFY use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother associated with untreated schizophrenia (see Clinical Considerations). In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of xanomeline alone or in combination with trospium chloride during the period of organogenesis or during pregnancy and lactation caused maternal toxicities of adverse clinical signs, decreased body weight, weight gain and food consumption, and/or maternal death. At these maternally toxic doses, embryofetal and developmental toxicities included decreased fetal and neonatal weight, stillborn pups, and/or neonatal deaths. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of xanomeline or xanomeline/trospium chloride combination for maternal, embryofetal, and/or developmental toxicity is equal to or higher than the xanomeline and trospium chloride dose at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 250/60 mg xanomeline/trospium chloride, based on mg/m2 body surface area (BSA) (see Data).

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of major birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations

  • Disease-associated maternal and/or embryofetal risk.
    • There is a risk to the pregnant patient from untreated schizophrenia, including increased risk of relapse, hospitalization, and suicide. Schizophrenia is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, including preterm birth. It is not known if this is a direct result of the illness or other comorbid factors.

Data

  • Animal Data.
    • Pregnant rats were orally treated during the period of organogenesis with 150 mg/kg/day xanomeline alone, 100 mg/kg/day trospium chloride alone, or xanomeline/trospium chloride combination at 30/25, 75/50, and 150/100 mg/kg/day, respectively. Xanomeline alone and the high dose combination caused maternal toxicities of decreased body weight, weight gain, and food consumption. At these maternally toxic doses, fetal weights were decreased. The NOAEL for maternal and embryofetal toxicity is 75/50 mg/kg/day for the combination, which is approximately 3 and 8 times the xanomeline and trospium chloride dose, respectively, at the MRHD of 250/60 mg xanomeline/trospium chloride, based on BSA. No fetal malformation was observed. Trospium chloride alone did not cause maternal or embryofetal toxicity.

Pregnant rabbits were orally treated during the period of organogenesis with120 mg/kg/day xanomeline alone, 80 mg/kg/day trospium chloride alone, or xanomeline/trospium chloride combination at 30/20, 60/40, and 120/80 mg/kg/day, respectively. Xanomeline alone and the high dose combination caused maternal toxicities of decreased body weight, weight gain, and food consumption, and/or early abortion. At these maternally toxic doses, decreased fetal weight and decreased fetal viability (increased resorption and post-implantation loss) were observed. The NOAEL for maternal and embryofetal toxicity is 60/40 mg/kg/day for the xanomeline/trospium chloride combination, which is 5 and 13 times the xanomeline and trospium chloride dose, respectively at the MRHD, based on BSA. No fetal malformation was observed. Trospium chloride alone did not cause maternal or embryofetal toxicity. Rats were orally treated during pregnancy and lactation with 30, 75, and 150 mg/kg/day xanomeline alone, 100 mg/kg/day trospium chloride alone, or xanomeline/trospium chloride combination at 30/25, 75/50, and 150/100 mg/kg/day, respectively. Xanomeline alone at ≥ 75 mg/kg/day or in combination with trospium chloride at ≥ 75/50 mg/kg/day caused maternal toxicity of adverse clinical signs, decreased body weight, weight gain, food consumption, and maternal death. At these maternally toxic doses, developmental toxicity was observed in the offspring, including growth suppression (decreased body weight and weight gain), delayed developmental landmarks, stillborn pups, and neonatal deaths. No drug effect was observed on the neurobehavioral function, including learning and memory, or the reproductive capacity of the offspring. The NOAEL for maternal and developmental toxicity is 30/25 mg/kg/day for the xanomeline/trospium chloride combination, which is approximately 1 and 4 times the xanomeline and trospium chloride dose, respectively at the MRHD, based on BSA. Trospium chloride alone did not cause maternal or developmental toxicity. Pregnant rats were treated during the period of organogenesis with trospium chloride at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day. No malformation or fetal toxicity was observed up to 200 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 32 times the trospium chloride dose at the MRHD of 250/60 mg xanomeline/trospium chloride based on BSA. Pregnant rabbits were treated during the period of organogenesis with trospium chloride at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day. Maternal toxicity (reduced feces, hunched posture, and diarrhea) was observed at 200 mg/kg/day. The NOAEL for maternal toxicity is 20 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 3 times the trospium chloride dose at the MRHD based on BSA. Rats were orally treated during pregnancy and lactation with trospium chloride at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day. Maternal toxicity (death, irregular breathing, increased excitability) and neonatal deaths were observed at 200 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 32 times the MRHD, based on BSA. The NOAEL for maternal and developmental toxicity is 20 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 3 times the trospium chloride dose at the MRHD, based BSA.
Pregnancy Category (AUS): There is no Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC) guidance on usage of Xanomeline and trospium chloride in women who are pregnant.

Labor and Delivery

There is no FDA guidance on use of Xanomeline and trospium chloride during labor and delivery.

Nursing Mothers

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of xanomeline or trospium in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Xanomeline and trospium are present in animal milk. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for COBENFY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from COBENFY or from the underlying maternal condition.

Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of COBENFY in pediatric patients have not been established.

Geriatic Use

  • Controlled clinical studies of COBENFY did not include patients older than 65 years of age to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.
  • Because COBENFY can increase the risk of urinary retention in geriatric patients, including older males with bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a slower titration and lower maximum dosage is recommended in geriatric patients.

Gender

There is no FDA guidance on the use of Xanomeline and trospium chloride with respect to specific gender populations.

Race

There is no FDA guidance on the use of Xanomeline and trospium chloride with respect to specific racial populations.

Renal Impairment

  • Patients with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60 to <90 mL/min) showed higher systemic exposures to trospium chloride and xanomeline, the components of COBENFY, compared to subjects with normal renal function. However, in the adequate and well-controlled clinical studies, the safety profiles in patients with mild renal impairment were similar to those observed in patients with normal renal function (eGFR ≥90 mL/min). Therefore, the recommended dosage in patients with mild renal impairment is the same as the recommended dosage for patients with normal renal function.
  • Use of COBENFY is not recommended in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment.

Hepatic Impairment

  • Patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A and B, respectively) have higher xanomeline exposures compared to patients with normal hepatic function.
  • impairment (Child-Pugh Class C).
  • Use of COBENFY is contraindicated in patients moderate or severe hepatic impairment.

It is not recommended in patients with mild hepatic impairment.

Females of Reproductive Potential and Males

There is no FDA guidance on the use of Xanomeline and trospium chloride in women of reproductive potentials and males.

Immunocompromised Patients

There is no FDA guidance one the use of Xanomeline and trospium chloride in patients who are immunocompromised.

Administration and Monitoring

Administration

The recommended dosage of COBENFY is as follows:

  • The recommended starting dosage is one 50 mg/20 mg capsule (contains 50 mg of xanomeline and 20 mg of trospium chloride) orally twice daily for at least two days.
  • Increase the dosage to one 100 mg/20 mg capsule (contains 100 mg of xanomeline and 20 mg of trospium chloride) orally twice daily for at least five days.
  • The dosage may be increased to one 125 mg/30 mg capsule (contains 125 mg of xanomeline and 30 mg of trospium chloride) orally twice daily based on patient tolerability and response.
  • Maximum recommended dosage is 125 mg/30 mg orally twice daily.

Administer COBENFY orally at least one hour before a meal or at least two hours after a meal. Do not open the capsules.

Dosage Recommendations in Geriatric Patients

  • The recommended starting dosage of COBENFY in geriatric patients is one 50 mg/20 mg capsule orally twice daily.
  • Consider a slower titration for geriatric patients. The maximum recommended dosage in geriatric patients is one 100 mg/20 mg capsule twice daily.

Monitoring

Concomitant use of COBENFY with other antimuscarinic drugs that produce anticholinergic adverse reactions (e.g., dry mouth, constipation) may increase the frequency and/or severity of such effects. Monitor patients for increased frequency and/or severity of anticholinergic adverse reactions when COBENFY is used concomitantly with other antimuscarinic drugs.

IV Compatibility

There is limited information regarding the compatibility of Xanomeline and trospium chloride and IV administrations.

Overdosage

Overdose of COBENFY may produce cholinergic, anticholinergic or a combination of cholinergic and anticholinergic signs and symptoms:


  • Cholinergic Signs and Symptoms: seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hyperhidrosis, salivary hypersecretion, and hypotension possibly preceded by hypertension.
  • Anticholinergic Signs and Symptoms (geriatric patients may be more susceptible): delirium, agitation, garbled speech, dizziness, hypertension, tachycardia, dry mouth and eyes, ileus, blurred vision, and urinary retention.

Consider calling the Poison Help Line 1-800-222-1222 or a medical toxicologist for specific treatment recommendations.

Pharmacology

There is limited information regarding Xanomeline and trospium chloride Pharmacology in the drug label.

Mechanism of Action

  • The mechanism of action of xanomeline in the treatment of schizophrenia is unclear; however, its efficacy is thought to be due to its agonist activity at M1 and M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system.
  • Trospium chloride is a muscarinic antagonist. Trospium chloride antagonizes the muscarinic receptors primarily in the peripheral tissues.
