4.1Clinical Trial 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.
FP01C-13-001
The safety of CAMCEVI was evaluated in an open-label, single-arm, international clinical trial (FP01C-13-001) in patients with advanced prostate cancer. Patients received CAMCEVI administered subcutaneously at a dose of 42 mg on Day 0 and Day 168. Of 137 patients enrolled, 93% received both doses of CAMCEVI.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 15% of patients who received CAMCEVI, including 1% of patients who experienced subdural hematoma. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2% of patients, including cerebrovascular accident (0.7%) and pulmonary embolism (0.7%).
The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) occurring during a median follow-up duration of 336 days were hot flush, hypertension, injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and pain in extremity.
Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions in FP01C-13-001.

4.2Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of CAMCEVI or leuprolide. 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.
During postmarketing surveillance, which includes other dosage forms and other patient populations, the following adverse reactions were reported.
Allergic Conditions: hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, rash, urticaria, and photosensitivity reactions
Cardiovascular System:hypotension, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism
Central/Peripheral Nervous System:convulsion, peripheral neuropathy, spinal fracture/paralysis
Endocrine System:pituitary apoplexy, diabetes
Hepato-biliary disorder:drug-induced liver injury
Hematologic:leukopenia
Psychiatric:mood swings, including depression, suicidal ideation and attempt
Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorder:interstitial lung disease
Musculoskeletal System:decreased bone density, tenosynovitis-like symptoms, fibromyalgia
Skin and Subcutaneous:injection site induration or swelling, SJS/TEN, DRESS, AGEP, dermatitis exfoliative, bullous dermatitis, and erythema multiforme
Urogenital System:prostate pain
5DESCRIPTION
CAMCEVI is a sterile formulation of leuprolide mesylate for subcutaneous injection. CAMCEVI is designed to deliver approximately 42 mg of leuprolide over 6 months.
Leuprolide mesylate is a synthetic nonapeptide analog of naturally occurring GnRH and is a GnRH agonist. The analog possesses greater potency than the natural hormone. The chemical name is 5-oxo-L-prolyl-L-histidyl-L-tryptophyl-L-seryl-L-tyrosyl-D-leucyl-L-leucyl-L-arginyl-N-ethyl-L-prolinamide mesylate (salt) with the following structural formula. The pH of 50 mg/mL solution of leuprolide mesylate in water is approximately 5.7.
CAMCEVI is supplied as a kit with a pre-filled, single-dose, sterile syringe for subcutaneous injection. Each pre-filled syringe delivers 42 mg leuprolide (equivalent to approximately 48 mg leuprolide mesylate), poly(D, L-lactide) (184 mg) polymer and
6CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of CAMCEVI was evaluated in an open label, single arm, multinational study FP01C-13-001 (
The population (n = 137) had a median age of 71 years (range 51 to 88) and was 90% White, 6% Black, and 4% Asian. Disease stage was distributed as follows: 23% metastatic (M1), 27% locally advanced (T3/4 NX M0 or any T N1 M0), 26% localized (T1 or T2 N0 M0), and 24% not classifiable. The median testosterone concentration at baseline was 440 ng/dL.
The major efficacy outcome measure was medical castration rate, defined as achieving and maintaining serum testosterone suppression to ≤ 50 ng/dL by Week 4 through Week 48 of treatment. Following the first injection of CAMCEVI, serum testosterone levels were suppressed to ≤ 50 ng/dL by Week 4 (+/-7 days) in 98.5% of the patients; and from Week 4 through Week 48 in 97.0% of patients (95% CI: 92.2-98.9) estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The time course of percent change from baseline in testosterone suppression are shown in Figure 1. The percentage of patients with testosterone suppression to ≤ 20 ng/dL was 69.3% on Day 28.
Figure 1 CAMCEVI Mean (95% CI) Percentage Change from Baseline in Serum Testosterone Concentration Over Time (N =137)
In the clinical trial, PSA levels were monitored and were lowered on average by 51% after 4 weeks after administration of CAMCEVI, 83% after 3 months and remained suppressed throughout the 48 weeks of treatment. These PSA results should be interpreted with caution because of the heterogeneity of the patient population studied. No evidence has shown that the rapidity of PSA decline correlates with clinical benefit.

8PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION
Hypersensitivity
- Inform patients that if they have experienced hypersensitivity with other GnRH agonist drugs like CAMCEVI, CAMCEVI is contraindicated
Tumor Flare
- Inform patients that CAMCEVI can cause tumor flare during the first weeks of treatment. Inform patients that the increase in testosterone can cause an increase in urinary symptoms or pain.
