About VIVJOA

What is this medication? VIVJOA is a prescription antifungal medication specifically used to reduce the incidence of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, commonly known as chronic yeast infections. This medication is indicated for females with a history of these infections who are not of reproductive potential, including those who are postmenopausal or have undergone surgical sterilization. The active ingredient, oteseconazole, works by targeting a specific enzyme within the fungus to inhibit its growth, providing a long-term preventative approach for patients who suffer from frequent infections.

The medication is taken orally in a specific sequence as directed by a healthcare professional to help manage the condition over time. It is not designed for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or capable of becoming pregnant because of the potential risk for embryo-fetal harm. Before starting this treatment, patients must discuss their reproductive status and any other medications they are currently taking with their doctor to confirm that the medication is appropriate for them.

Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS VIVJOA is contraindicated in: Females of reproductive potential [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ] Pregnant and lactating women [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.2) ] Patients with known hypersensitivity to oteseconazole. Females of Reproductive Potential ( 4 ), ( 5.1 ), ( 8.3 ) Pregnant and Lactating women ( 4 ), ( 8.1 ), ( 8.2 ) Hypersensitivity to oteseconazole ( 4 )
Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Based on animal studies, VIVJOA may cause fetal harm. The drug exposure window of approximately 690 days (based on 5 times the half-life of oteseconazole) precludes adequate mitigation of the embryo-fetal toxicity risks. Advise patients that VIVJOA is contraindicated in females of reproductive potential, and in pregnant and lactating women because of potential risks to a fetus or breastfed infant. ( 5.1 , 8.1 , 8.2 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity VIVJOA is contraindicated in females of reproductive potential, and in pregnant and lactating women. Based on animal studies, VIVJOA may cause fetal harm. The drug exposure window of approximately 690 days (based on 5 times the half-life of oteseconazole) precludes adequate mitigation of the embryo-fetal toxicity risks. Ocular abnormalities were observed in the offspring of pregnant rats dosed at 7.5-mg/kg/day during organogenesis through lactation in pre and postnatal developmental studies. The observed ocular abnormalities included cataracts, opacities, exophthalmos/buphthalmos, optic nerve/retinal atrophy, lens degeneration and hemorrhage. Ocular abnormalities occurred at doses about 3.5 times the steady state clinical exposure seen with patients being treated for RVVC. Advise patients that VIVJOA is contraindicated in females of reproductive potential, and in pregnant and lactating women because of potential risks to a fetus or breastfed infant [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.2 , 8.3) ].
Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS BCRP (Breast Cancer Resistance Protein) Substrates: Concomitant use of VIVJOA with BCRP substrates may increase the exposure of drugs that are BCRP substrates, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with these drugs. Use the lowest possible starting dose of the BCRP substrate or consider reducing the dose of the substrate drugs and monitor for adverse reactions. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of VIVJOA on Other Drugs BCRP (Breast Cancer Resistance Protein) Transporter Substrates Oteseconazole is a BCRP inhibitor. Concomitant use of VIVJOA with BCRP substrates (e.g., rosuvastatin) may increase the exposure of BCRP substrates (e.g., rosuvastatin), which may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with these drugs. Use the lowest possible starting dose of the BCRP substrate or consider reducing the dose of the substrate drug and monitor for adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most frequently reported adverse reactions (incidence > 2%) were headache and nausea. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Mycovia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-855-299-0637 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of one drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. A total of 580 patients were treated with VIVJOA in three clinical trials (Trial 1, Trial 2, and Trial 3) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Patients in the clinical trials were women with RVVC who received VIVJOA treatment for 12 weeks. The mean age of the patient population was 34 years (range:16-78 years), with 84% of patients aged 18-44 years and 16% of patients aged 45 years and older. Although females of reproductive potential were included in the clinical safety data, VIVJOA is contraindicated in females of reproductive potential due to the risk of embryo-fetal toxicity [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3 , 8.4) ] . The clinical trials population was 75% (435/580) White, 17% (96/580) Black or African American, 6% (36/580) Asian, and 2% (13/580) Other women. Fifteen percent (86/580) of all women were Hispanic/Latino. Patients enrolled in the induction and maintenance phases of the clinical trials were treated with different VIVJOA dosage regimens versus comparators [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . The adverse reaction that led to discontinuation in 1 of 580 (0.2 %) VIVJOA-treated patients was allergic dermatitis. Overall, similar percentages of serious adverse reactions and adverse reactions leading to drug discontinuation were reported across the VIVJOA and comparator patient dosing groups. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (incidence >2%) among VIVJOA-treated patients in Trial 1, Trial 2 and Trial 3 were headache (includes headache, migraines, sinus headaches) (7.4%) and nausea (3.6%). Other Adverse Reactions The following selected adverse reactions occurred in <2% of patients receiving VIVJOA in Trial 1, Trial 2 and Trial 3: Laboratory investigations: Increased blood creatine phosphokinase Gastrointestinal disorders: Dyspepsia Vascular disorders: Hot flush Renal and urinary disorders: Dysuria Reproductive system and breast disorders: Menorrhagia (includes genital hemorrhage, menorrhagia; menometrorrhagia; uterine hemorrhage, vaginal hemorrhage) metrorrhagia; vulvovaginal irritation (includes vulvovaginal burning sensation, vulvovaginal discomfort, and vulvovaginal pain) Laboratory Findings Elevations in Creatine Phosphokinase Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) (an indirect marker of muscle injury/necrosis) elevations greater than or equal to 10 times the upper limit of normal were observed in 11 (1.9%) patients treated with VIVJOA versus 2 (0.7%) patients in the comparator groups during the VIVJOA clinical trials. The elevations were transient.
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary VIVJOA is contraindicated in females of reproductive potential and in pregnant women. Based on animal studies, VIVJOA may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. In addition, the drug exposure window of approximately 690 days (based on 5 times the half-life of oteseconazole) precludes adequate mitigation of the embryo-fetal toxicity risks [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Ocular abnormalities were observed in a pre and postnatal animal study in the offspring of rats administered oteseconazole from Gestation Day 6 through Lactation Day 20 at doses about 3.5 times the recommended human dose based on AUC comparisons (see Data ). The observed ocular abnormalities included cataracts, opacities, exophthalmos/buphthalmos, optic nerve/retinal atrophy, lens degeneration and hemorrhage. There are limited human data in pregnant women who were exposed to VIVJOA during the clinical trials; these data are insufficient to exclude a potential risk of cataracts or other eye abnormalities in human infants. Data Animal Data Rat and rabbit embryofetal development was assessed after oral administration of oteseconazole. There was no embryofetal toxicity or malformations at 40 mg/kg/day following administration of oteseconazole during organogenesis in pregnant rats at doses about 10 times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons. Abortions occurred in rabbits in the presence of maternal toxicity (reduced bodyweight gain with reduced food consumption) but there were no malformations at 15 mg/kg/day following administration of oteseconazole during organogenesis in pregnant rabbits about 6 times the maximum human exposure for RVVC based on AUC comparisons. Ocular abnormalities including cataracts, opacities, exophthalmos/buphthalmos, optic nerve/retinal atrophy, lens degeneration and hemorrhage were observed in the offspring of rats administered oteseconazole from Gestation Day 6 through Lactation Day 20 at 7.5 mg/kg day (about 3.5 times the recommended human dose based on AUC comparisons). There were no effects on pregnancy or parturition in these pre and postnatal studies at any dose.
