Tolterodine tartrate is a white, crystalline pow- der. The pKa value is 9.87 and the solubility in water is 12 mg/mL. It is soluble in methanol, slightly soluble in ethanol, and practically insolu- ble in toluene. The partition coefficient (Log D) between n-octanol and water is 1.83 at pH 7.3. DETROL Tablets for oral administration contain 1 or 2 mg of tolterodine tartrate. The inactive ingredients are colloidal anhydrous silica, calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate, cellulose micro- crystalline, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, mag- nesium stearate, sodium starch glycolate (pH 3.0 to 5.0), stearic acid, and titanium dioxide.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Tolterodine is a competitive muscarinic recep- tor antagonist. Both urinary bladder contraction and salivation are mediated via cholinergic mus- carinic receptors. After oral administration, tolterodine is metab- olized in the liver, resulting in the formation of the 5-hydroxymethyl derivative, a major pharma- cologically active metabolite. The 5-hydroxy- methyl metabolite, which exhibits an antimus- carinic activity similar to that of tolterodine, contributes significantly to t he therapeutic effect. Both tolterodine and the 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite exhibit a high specificity for mus- carinic receptors, since both show negligible activity or affinity for other neurotransmitter receptors and other potential cellular targets, such as calcium channels. Tolterodine has a pronounced effect on bladder function. Effects on urodynamic parameters before and 1 and 5 hours after a single 6.4-mg dose of t olterodine immediate release were determ ined in h ealthy volunteers. The main effects of tolterodine at 1 and 5 hours were an increase in residual urine, reflecting an incom- plete emptying of the bladder, and a decrease in detrusor pressure. These findings are consistent with an antimuscarinic action on the lower uri- nary tract.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption: In a study with 14C-tolterodine solution in healthy volunteers who received a 5-mg oral dose, at least 77% of the radiolabeled dose was absorbed. Tolter odine immediate

release is rapidly absorbed, and maximum serum concentrations (Cmax) typically occur within 1 to 2 hours after dose administration. Cmax and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) deter- mined after dosage of tolterodine immediate release are dose-proportional over the range of 1 to 4 mg. Eff ect of Food : Food i ntake incr eases the bioavailability of tolterodine (average increase 53%), but does not a ffect the levels of t he 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite in extensive metabo- lizers. This change is not expected to be a safety concern and adjustment of dose is not needed. Distribution: Tolterodine is highly bound to plasma proteins, primarily a1-acid glycoprotein. Unbound concentrations of tolterodine average 3.7% +- 0 .13% over t he concentration range achieved in clinical studies. The 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite is not extensively protein bound, with unbound fraction concentrations averaging 36% +- 4.0%. The blood to serum ratio of toltero- dine and the 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite aver- ages 0.6 and 0.8, respectively, indicating that these compounds do not distribute extensively into erythrocytes. The volume of distribution of tolterodine following administration of a 1.28-mg intravenous dose is 113 +- 26.7 L. Metabolism: Tolterodine is extensively metabo- lized by the liver following oral dosing. The pri- mary metabolic route involves the oxidation of the 5-methyl group and is mediated by the cyto- chrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and leads to the for- mation of a pharmacologically active 5-hydroxy- methyl metabolite. Further metabolism leads to formation of the 5-carboxylic acid and N-dealky- lated 5-carboxylic acid metabolites, which account for 51% +- 14% and 29% +- 6.3% of the metabolites recovered in the urine, respectively. Variability in Metabolism: A subset (about 7%) of the population is devoid of CYP2D6, the enzyme responsible for the formation of the 5-hydroxy- methyl metabolite of tolterodine. The identified pathway of metabolism for these individuals ("poor metabolizers") is dealkylation via cyto- chrome P 450 3A4 (CYP3A4) to N -dealkylated tolterodine. The remainder of the population is r efer r e d to as "extensive m etabolizers." Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that tolterodine is metabolized at a slower rate in poor metaboliz- ers than in extensive metabolizers; this results in significantly higher serum concentrations of tolterodine and in negligible concentrations of the 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite. Excretion: Following administration of a 5-mg oral dose of 14C-tolterodine solution to healthy volunteers, 77% of radioactivity was recovered in urine and 17% was recovered in feces in 7 days. Less than 1% (<2.5% in poor metabolizers) of the dose was recovered as intact tolterodine, and 5% to 14% (<1% in poor metabolizers) was recovered as the active 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite. A summary of mean (+- standard deviation) phar macokinetic parameters of t olter odine immediate release and the 5-hydro xymethyl metabolite in extensive (EM) a nd poor ( PM) metabolizers is provided in Table 1. These data were obtained following single- and multiple- doses of tolterodine 4 mg administered twice daily to 16 healthy male volunteers (8 EM, 8 PM).

Pharmacokinetics in Special Populations Age: In Phase 1, multiple-dose studies in which tolterodine immediate release 4 mg (2 mg bid) was administer ed, ser um concentrations o f tolterodine and of the 5-hydroxymethyl metabo- lite were similar in healthy elderly volunteers (aged 64 through 80 years) and healthy young volunteers (aged less than 40 years). In another Phase 1 study, elderly volunteers (aged 7 1 through 81 years) were given tolterodine imme- diate release 2 or 4 mg (1 or 2 mg bid). Mean serum concentrations of tolterodine and the 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite in these elderly vol- unteers were approximately 20% and 50% higher, respectively, than reported in young healthy vol- unteers. However, no overall differences were observed in safety between older and younger patients on tolterodine in Phase 3, 12-week, con- trolled clinical studies; therefore, no tolterodine dosage adjustment for elderly patients is recom- mended (see PRECAUTIONS, Geriatric Use). Pediatric: The pharmacokinetics of tolterodine have not been established in pediatric patients. Gender: The pharmacokinetics of tolterodine immediate release and the 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite are not influenced by gender. Mean Cmax of tolterodine (1.6 mg/L in males versus 2.2 mg/L in females) and the active 5-hydroxy- methyl metabolite (2.2 mg/L in males versus 2.5 mg/L in females) are similar in males and females who were administered t olterodine immediate release 2 mg. Mean AUC values of tolterodine (6.7 ug *h/L in males versus 7.8 ug *h/L in females) and the 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite (10 ug *h/L in males versus 11 ug *h/L in females) ar e also similar. The elimination half-life o f tolter odine f or both males and females is 2.4 hours, and the half-life of the 5-hydroxy- methyl metabolite is 3.0 hours in females and 3.3 hours in males.

Race:

Pharmacokinetic differences due to race have not been established.

Renal Insufficiency:

Renal impairment can sig- nificantly alter the disposition of tolterodine immediate release and its metabolites. In a study conducted in patients with creatinine clearance

between 10 and 30 mL/min, tolterodine immedi- ate release and the 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite levels were approximately 2-3 fold higher in patients with renal impairment than in healthy volunteers. Exposure levels of other metabolites of tolterodine (eg, tolterodine acid, N-dealky- lated tolterodine acid, N-dealkylated tolterodine, and N-dealkylated hydroxylated tolterodine) were significantly higher (10-30 fold) in r enally impaired patients as compared to the healthy vol- unteers. The recommended dosage for patients with significantly r educed r enal function is DETROL 1 mg twice daily (see PRECAUTIONS, General). Hepatic Insufficiency: Liver impairment can significantly alter the disposition of tolterodine immediate release. In a study conducted in cir- r hotic patients, the elimination half-life of tolterodine immediate release was longer in cir- rhotic patients (mean, 7.8 hours) than in healthy, young, and elderly volunteers (mean, 2 to 4 hours). The clearance of orally administered tolterodine was substantially lower in cirrhotic patients (1.0 +- 1.7 L/h/kg) than in the healthy vol- unteers (5.7 +- 3.8 L/h/kg). The recommended dose for patients with significantly reduced hepatic function is DETROL 1 mg twice daily (see PRECAUTIONS, General).

Drug-Drug Interactions

Fluoxetine: Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin re uptake inhibitor and a potent inhibitor of CYP2D6 activity. In a study to assess the effect of fluoxetine on the pharmacokinetics of toltero- dine immediate release and its metabolites, it was observed that fluoxetine significantly inhibited the metabolism of tolterodine immediate release in extensive metabolizers, resulting in a 4.8-fold increase in tolterodine AUC. There was a 52% decrease in Cmax and a 20% decrease in AUC of the 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite. Fluoxetine thus alters the pharm acokinetics in patients who would otherwise be extensive metabolizers of tolterodine immediate release to resemble the pharmacokinetic profile in poor metabolizers. The sums of unbound serum concentrations of tolterodine immediate release and the 5-hydroxy-

methyl metabolite are only 25% higher during the interaction. No dose adjustment is required when DETROL and fluoxetine are coadministered. Other Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450 Isoenzymes: Tolter odine i mmediate release does not cause clinically significant inter- actions with other drugs metabolized by the major drug metabolizing CYP enzymes. In vivo drug-interaction data show that t olterodine immediate release does not result in clinically rel- evant inhibition of CYP1A2, 2D6, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4 as evidenced by lack of influence on the marker drugs caffeine, debrisoquine, S-warfarin, and omeprazole. In vitro data show that tolterodine immediate release is a competitive inhibitor of CYP2D6 at high concentrations (Ki 1.05 uM), while tolterodine immediate release as well as the 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite are devoid of any significant inhibitory potential regarding the other isoenzymes.

CYP3A4 Inhibitors:

The effect of 200 mg daily dose of ketoconazole on the pharmacokinetics of tolterodine immediate release was studied in

8 healthy volunteers, all of whom were poor metabolizers (see Pharmacokinetics, Variability in Metabolism for discussion of poor metaboliz- ers). In the presence of ketoconazole, the mean Cmax and AUC of tolterodine increased by 2 and 2.5 fold, respectively. Based on these findings, other potent CYP3A inhibitors such as other azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, miconazole) or macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin, clar- ithromycin) or cyclosporine or vinblastine may also lead to increases of tolterodine plasma con- centrations (see PRECAUTIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).

Warfarin:

In healthy volunteers, coadministra- tion of tolterodine immediate release 4 mg (2 mg bid) for 7 days and a single dose of warfarin 25 mg on day 4 had no effect on prothrombin time, Factor VII suppression, or on the pharmaco- kinetics of warfarin.

Oral Contraceptives:

Tolterodine immediate release 4 mg (2 mg bid) had no effect on the phar macokinetics of an oral contraceptive (ethinyl estradiol 30 mg/levonorgestrel 150 mg) as evidenced by the monitoring of ethinyl estra- diol and levonorgestrel over a 2-month cycle in healthy female volunteers.

Diuretics:

Coadministration of t olter odine immediate release up to 8 mg (4 mg bid) for up to 12 weeks with d iur etic agents, such as indapamide, hydrochlorothiazide, triamterene, bendroflumethiazide, chlorothiazide, meth- ylchlorothiazide, or furosemide, did not cause any adverse electrocardiographic (ECG) effects.

CLINICAL STUDIES

DETROL Tablets were evaluated for the treat- ment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and fre- quency in four randomized, double-blind, placebo- contr o lled, 12-week s tudies. A total of 853 patients received DETROL 2 mg twice daily and 685 patients received placebo. The majority of patients were Caucasian (95%) and female (78%), with a mean age of 60 years (range, 19 to 93 years). At study entry, nearly all patients per- ceived they had urgency and most patients had increased frequency of micturitions and urge incontinence. These characteristics were well bal- anced across treatment groups for the studies. The efficacy endpoints for study 007 (see Table 2) included the change from baseline for:

The efficacy endpoints for studies 008, 009, and 010 (see Table 3) were identical to the above endpoints with the exception that the number of incontinence episodes was per 24 hours (aver- aged over 7 days).

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

DETROL Tablets are indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge uri- nary incontinence, urgency, and frequency.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

DETROL Tablets are contraindicated in patients with urinary retention, g astric retention, or uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma. DETROL is also contraindicated i n patients who have demonstrated hypersensitivity to the drug or its ingredients.

PRECAUTIONS

General

Risk of Urinar y Retention and Gastric Retention:

DETROL Tablets should be adminis- tered with caution to patients with clinically sig- nificant bladder outflow obstruction because of

the risk of urinary retention and to patients with gastrointestinal obstructive disorders, such as pyloric stenosis, because of the risk of gastric retention (see CONTRAINDICATIONS).

Controlled Narrow-Angle Glaucoma:

DETROL should be used with caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma.

Reduced Hepatic and Renal Function: For patients with significantly reduced hepatic func- tion or renal function, the recommended dose of DETROL is 1 mg twice daily (see CLINICAL PHAR- MACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics in S pecial Populations).

Information for Patients

Patients should be informed that antimus- carinic agents such as DETROL may produce the following effects: blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness.

Drug Interactions

CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Ketoconazole, an inhibitor of the drug metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4, signifi- cantly incr eased plasma concentrations o f tolterodine when coadministered to subjects who were poor metabolizers (see CLINICAL PHARMA- COLOGY, Variability i n Metabolism and Drug- Drug Interactions). For patients receiving keto- conazole or other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors such as other azole anitfungals (eg, itraconazole, miconazole) or macr olide a ntibiotics (eg, erythromycin, clarithromycin) or cyclosporine or vinblastine, the recommended dose of DETROL is 1 mg twice daily.

Drug-Laboratory-Test Interactions

Interactions between tolterodine and labora- tory tests have not been studied.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies with tolterodine were conducted in mice and rats. At the maximum tol- erated dose in mice (30 mg/kg/day), female rats (20 mg/kg/day), and male rats (30 mg/kg/day), AUC values obtained for tolterodine were 355, 291, and 462 mg *h/L, respectively. In comparison, the human AUC value for a 2-mg dose adminis- tered twice daily is estimated at 34 mg *h/L. Thus, tolterodine exposure in the carcinogenicity stud- ies was 9- to 14-fold higher than expected in humans. No increase in tumors was found in either mice or rats. No m utagenic effects of tolterodine were detected in a battery of in vitro tests, including bacterial mutation assays (Ames test) in 4 strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in 2 strains of Escherichia coli, a gene mutation assay in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, and chro- mosomal aberration tests in human lymphocytes. Tolterodine was also negative in vivo in the bone marrow micronucleus test in the mouse. In female mice treated for 2 weeks before mat- ing and during gestation with 20 mg/kg/day (cor- responding to AUC value of about 500 mg *h/L), neither effects on reproductive performance or fertility were seen. Based on AUC values, the sys- temic exposure was about 15-fold higher in ani- mals than in humans. In male mice, a dose of 30 mg/kg/day did not induce any adverse effects on fertility.

Pregnancy

Pr egnancy Category C. At oral doses of 20 mg/kg/day (appr oximately 14 times the human exposure), no anomalies or malformations were observed in mice. When given at doses of 30 to 40 mg/kg/day, tolterodine has been shown to be embryolethal, reduce fetal weight, and increase the incidence of fetal abnormalities (cleft palate, digital abnormalities, intra-abdominal hemorrhage, and various skeletal abnormalities, primarily reduced ossification) in mice. At these doses, the AUC values were about 20- to 25-fold higher than in humans. Rabbits treated subcuta- neously at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg/day achieved an AUC of 100 mg *h/L, which is about 3-fold higher than that resulting from the human dose. This dose did not result in any embryotoxicity or teratogenicity. There are no studies of tolterodine in pregnant women. Therefore, DETROL should be used during pregnancy only if the potential bene- fit for the mother justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Nursing Mothers

Tolterodine is excreted into the milk in mice. Offspring of female mice treated with tolterodine 20 mg/kg/day during the lactation period had slightly reduced body-weight gain. The offspring r e gained t he w eight during the maturation phase. It is not known whether tolterodine is excr eted in human milk; ther efor e, DETROL should not be administered during nursing. A decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue DETROL in nursing mothers.

Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of DETROL in pedi- atric patients have not been established.

Geriatric Use

Of the 1120 patients who were treated in the four Phase 3, 12-week clinical studies of DETROL, 474 (42%) were 65 to 91 years of age. No overall differences in safety were observed between the older and younger patients (see CLINICAL PHAR- MACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics in S pecial Populations).

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The Phase 2 and 3 clinical trial program for DETROL Tablets included 3071 patients who were treated with DETROL (N=2133) or placebo (N=938). The patients were treated w ith 1, 2, 4, o r 8 mg/day for up to 12 months. No differences in the safety profile of tolterodine were identified based on age, gender, race, or metabolism. The data described below reflect exposure to DETROL 2 mg bid in 986 patients and to placebo in 683 patients exposed for 12 weeks in five Phase 3, controlled clinical studies. Because clini- cal trials are conducted under widely varying con- ditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly com- pared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in prac- tice. The adverse reaction information from clini- cal trials does, however, provide a basis for identi- fying the adverse events that appear to b e related to drug use and approximating rates. Sixty-six percent of patients receiving DETROL 2 mg bid reported adverse events versus 56% of placebo patients. The most common adverse events reported by patients receiving DETROL were dry mouth, headache, constipation, ver- tigo/dizziness, and abdominal pain. Dry mouth, constipation, abnormal vision (accommodation abnormalities), urinary retention, and xeroph- thalmia are expected side effects of antimus- carinic agents. Dry mouth was the most frequently reported adverse event for patients treated with DETROL 2 mg bid in the Phase 3 clinical studies, occurring in 34.8% of patients treated with DETROL and 9.8% of placebo-treated patients. One percent of patients treated with DETROL discontinued treat- ment due to dry mouth. The fr equency of discontinuation due t o adverse events was highest during the first 4 weeks of treatment. Seven percent of patients treated with DETROL 2 mg bid discontinued treat- ment due to adverse events versus 6% of placebo patients. The most common adverse events

Three percent of patients treated with DETROL 2 mg bid reported a serious adverse event versus 4% of placebo patients. Significant ECG changes in QT and QTc have not been demonstrated in clinical-study patients treated with DETROL 2 mg bid. Table 4 lists the adverse events reported in 1% or more of the patients treated with DETROL 2 mg bid in the 12-week studies. The adverse events are reported regardless of causality.

Postmarketing Surveillance

The following events have been reported in association with tolterodine use in clinical prac- tice: anaphylactoid r eactions, tachycar dia, peripheral edema, and hallucinations. Because these spontaneously reported events are from the worldwide postmarketing experience, the frequency of events and the role of tolterodine in their causation cannot be reliably determined.

OVERDOSAGE

A 27-month-old child who ingested 5 to 7 DETROL Tablets 2 mg was treated with a suspen- sion of activated charcoal and was hospitalized overnight with symptoms of dry mouth. The child fully recovered.

Management of Overdosage

Overdosage with DETROL can potentially result in severe central anticholinergic effects and should be treated accordingly. ECG monitoring is recommended in the event of overdosage. In dogs, changes in the QT interval (slight p r o longation of 10% t o 20%) wer e observed at a supraphar m acologic dose of 4.5 mg/kg, which is about 68 times higher than the recommended human dose. In clinical trials of normal volunteers and patients, QT interval prolongation was not observed with tolterodine immediate release at doses up to 4 mg twice daily (higher doses were not evaluated).

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

The initial r ecommended dose of D ETROL Tablets is 2 mg twice daily. The dose may be low- ered to 1 mg twice daily based on individual response and tolerability. For patients with signif- icantly reduced hepatic or renal function or who ar e cur r e ntly taking dr ugs that ar e potent inhibitors of CYP3A4, the recommended dose of DETROL is 1 mg twice daily (see PRECAUTIONS, General and PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions).
