Lotilaner

12.1 Mechanism of Action Lotilaner is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channel inhibitor selective for mites. Inhibition of these GABA chloride channels causes a paralytic action in the target organism leading to its death. Lotilaner is not an inhibitor of mammalian GABA mediated chloride channels when tested at up to 30 µM (18 µg/mL) in vitro (approximately 1100 times the RHOD).

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE XDEMVY is indicated for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis. XDEMVY is an ectoparasiticide (anti-parasitic) indicated for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis. ( 1 )

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Instill one drop of XDEMVY in each eye twice daily (approximately 12 hours apart) for 6 weeks. If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least five (5) minutes apart. If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next scheduled dose. Instill one drop of XDEMVY in each eye twice daily (approximately 12 hours apart) for 6 weeks. ( 2 )

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reaction was instillation site stinging and burning (10%). ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Tarsus Pharmaceuticals at 1-888-421-4002 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies 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. XDEMVY was evaluated in 833 patients with Demodex blepharitis in two randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled studies (Saturn-1 and Saturn-2) with 42 days of treatment. The most common ocular adverse reaction observed in controlled clinical studies with XDEMVY was instillation site stinging and burning which was reported in 10% of patients. Other ocular adverse reactions reported in less than 2% of patients were chalazion/hordeolum and punctate keratitis.
