OHTUVAYRE (ensifentrine) is a sterile, yellow to pale yellow aqueous inhalation suspension of ensifentrine for oral inhalation. Ensifentrine, the active component of OHTUVAYRE, is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterases 3 and 4 (PDE3 and PDE4). The chemical name for ensifentrine is N -(2-{(2 E )-9,10-dimethoxy-4-oxo-2-[(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imino]-6,7-dihydro-2 H -pyrimido[6,1- a ]isoquinolin-3(4 H )-yl}ethyl)urea; its structural formula is: Ensifentrine has a molecular weight of 477.56 and its empirical formula is C 26 H 31 N 5 O 4 . Ensifentrine is a yellow to pale yellow crystalline powder which is practically insoluble in water. OHTUVAYRE is supplied as 2.5 mL of sterile ensifentrine (1.2 mg/mL) suspension packaged in a unit-dose low-density polyethylene ampule overwrapped in a sealed foil pouch. Each unit-dose ampule contains 3 mg ensifentrine suspended in a pH 6.7 aqueous solution containing dibasic sodium phosphate, monobasic sodium phosphate, polysorbate 20, sodium chloride, sorbitan monolaurate and water for injection. The ampule containing OHTUVAYRE should be shaken vigorously to ensure complete resuspension of the active ingredient immediately prior to administration by nebulization. Like all other nebulized treatments, the amount delivered to the lungs will depend on patient factors, the nebulization system used, and compressor performance. Using the PARI LC Sprint® jet nebulizer attached to a PARI Vios Pro® compressor under in vitro conditions, the mean delivered dose from the mouthpiece was approximately 933 micrograms (31% of label claim) at a mean flow rate of approximately 5 liters per minute. The mean nebulization time was approximately 7 minutes. The mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of the nebulized particles/droplets using the PARI LC Sprint® jet nebulizer attached to a PARI Vios Pro® compressor (flow rate approximately 15 L per minute, nebulization time approximately 10 minutes) is 5.82 microns (geometric standard deviation = 1.97) with a typical fine particle dose (mass of aerosolized drug < 5 microns) of approximately 614 micrograms, as determined using the Next Generation Impactor (NGI) method, based on USP <601>. OHTUVAYRE should only be administered via a standard jet nebulizer connected to an air compressor with an adequate airflow and equipped with a mouthpiece. Chemical Structure

OHTUVAYRE is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to ensifentrine or any component of this product. OHTUVAYRE is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to ensifentrine or any component of this product. ( 4 )

Should not use OHTUVAYRE to treat acute symptoms of bronchospasm. ( 5.1 ) If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, discontinue OHTUVAYRE and institute alternative therapy. ( 5.2 ) An increase in psychiatric adverse reactions, including suicidality, were reported with use of OHTUVAYRE. Carefully weigh the risks and benefits of treatment with OHTUVAYRE in patients with a history of depression and/or suicidal thoughts or behavior. ( 5.3 ) OHTUVAYRE should not be used for the relief of acute symptoms, i.e., as rescue therapy for the treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm. OHTUVAYRE has not been studied in the relief of acute symptoms and extra doses of OHTUVAYRE should not be used for that purpose. The safety and effectiveness of OHTUVAYRE for relief of acute symptoms have not been established. Acute symptoms should be treated with an inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator. As with other inhaled medicines, OHTUVAYRE may produce paradoxical bronchospasm, which may be life threatening. If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs following dosing with OHTUVAYRE, it should be treated immediately with an inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator. OHTUVAYRE should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy should be instituted. Treatment with OHTUVAYRE is associated with an increase in psychiatric adverse reactions. Psychiatric events including suicide-related adverse reactions were reported in clinical studies in patients who received OHTUVAYRE. One patient who received OHTUVAYRE in the pooled 24-week safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] experienced a suicide-related adverse reaction (suicide attempt), and in another controlled study, one patient who received ensifentrine experienced a suicide-related adverse reaction (suicide). Additionally, the most commonly reported psychiatric adverse reactions in the pooled 24-week safety population were insomnia (6 patients [0.6%] OHTUVAYRE 3 mg; 2 patients [0.3%] placebo), and anxiety (2 patients [0.2%] OHTUVAYRE 3 mg; 1 patient [0.2%] placebo). Depression-related reactions including depression, major depression, and adjustment disorder with depressed mood occurred in 4 patients [0.4%] receiving OHTUVAYRE and no patients receiving placebo. Before initiating treatment with OHTUVAYRE, healthcare providers should carefully weigh the risk and benefits of treatment with OHTUVAYRE in patients with a history of depression and/or suicidal thoughts or behavior. Healthcare providers should carefully evaluate the risks and benefits of continuing treatment with OHTUVAYRE if such events occur.

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:

Hepatic impairment: Ensifentrine exposure increases in patients with hepatic impairment. Use with caution. ( 8.6 , 12.3 ) Risk Summary There are no available data on OHTUVAYRE use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, administration of inhaled ensifentrine at exposures 30 times the exposure at the maximum recommended human daily inhalation dose (MRHDID) to male rats for 10 weeks prior to mating with untreated females produced increased pre- and post- implantation loss, and decreased live embryos in untreated female rats. No adverse developmental effects were observed with inhalation administration of ensifentrine to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at maternal exposures up to 79 and 9 times the exposure at MRHDID, respectively. No adverse developmental effects were observed after inhaled administration of ensifentrine to pregnant rats from the period of organogenesis through lactation at exposures up to approximately 79 times the MRHDID. (see Data ) . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of 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. Data Animal Data In a male fertility study, ensifentrine was administered to male rats at inhalation doses of 2, 6, and 16 mg/kg/day (4, 13, and 30 times the exposure at the MRHDID) for 10 weeks prior to mating to untreated females. Adverse effects at 16 mg/kg/day (30 times the exposure at the MRHDID) on reproductive performance included increased pre- and post- implantation loss, and decreased live embryos per litter in untreated females. No developmental toxicity was observed in rats at 6 mg/kg/day (13 times the exposure at the MRHDID). In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats were administered ensifentrine at inhalation doses of up to 15 mg/kg/day (79 times the exposure at the MRHDID) during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 6 to 17. Ensifentrine did not cause adverse effects to the fetus at exposures up to 79 times the MRHDID (on an AUC basis at a maternal inhalation dose of 15 mg/kg/day). In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rabbits were administered ensifentrine at inhalation doses of up to 12 mg/kg/day (9 times the exposure at the MRHDID) during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 6 to 19. Ensifentrine did not cause adverse effects to the fetus at maternal exposures up to 9 times the MRHDID. In a pre- and post-natal development (PPND) study, pregnant rats were administered ensifentrine at inhalation doses of up to 19 mg/kg/day (approximately 79 times the exposure at the MRHDID) from gestation day 6 to lactation/post-partum day 24. No adverse effects were observed in the offspring exposed daily from birth ( in utero ) through lactation at maternal pulmonary deposited doses up to approximately 79 times the MRHDID. Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of ensifentrine in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. There are no data from animal studies on the presence of ensifentrine in milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for OHTUVAYRE and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from OHTUVAYRE or from the underlying maternal condition. The safety and effectiveness of OHTUVAYRE have not been established in pediatric patients. There were 852 patients aged 65 years and older in ENHANCE-1 and ENHANCE-2 for COPD [see CLINICAL STUDIES (14) ] . Of the total number of patients randomized to receive OHTUVAYRE in these trials, 534 (55%) were 65 years of age and older, while 84 (9%) were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of OHTUVAYRE have been observed between these patients and younger adult patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. Ensifentrine systemic exposure increased by 2.3-fold in subjects with moderate or severe hepatic impairment compared with healthy subjects [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Use OHTUVAYRE with caution in patients with hepatic impairment. No dosage adjustment in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment is required. Patients with severe renal impairment have not been evaluated [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

OHTUVAYRE (ensifentrine) 3 mg/2.5 mL inhalation suspension is a sterile aqueous suspension in a unit-dose low-density polyethylene ampule. OHTUVAYRE is supplied in a carton of 60 unit-dose ampules (NDC 83034-003-60). Each ampule is overwrapped in a sealed foil pouch. The ampule containing OHTUVAYRE should be shaken vigorously to ensure complete resuspension of the active ingredient immediately prior to use. The used ampule and any residual content should be discarded after use. Store OHTUVAYRE in the protective foil pouch (only remove from foil pouch immediately before use) at controlled room temperature (68°F to 77°F [20°C to 25°C], excursions permitted from 59ºF to 86ºF [15ºC to 30ºC]) [See USP Controlled Room Temperature], maintaining the orientation indicated on the carton. Protect from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not freeze.

Ensifentrine is a small molecule that is an inhibitor of the PDE3 and PDE4 enzymes. PDE3 primarily hydrolyzes the second-messenger molecule cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) but is also capable of hydrolyzing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). PDE4 hydrolyzes cAMP only. Inhibition of PDE3 and PDE4 results in accumulation of intracellular levels of cAMP and/or cGMP, resulting in various downstream signalling effects. Cardiac Electrophysiology QTc interval prolongation was studied in a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and positive-controlled, 4-period crossover study in 32 healthy subjects. At 3 times the maximum recommended dose, clinically significant QTc interval prolongation was not observed. Exposure to ensifentrine increased approximately 1.4-fold greater than dose proportional following a dose 3 times the recommended dosage. Steady-state was attained by Day 3 following twice-daily dosing. Population pharmacokinetic analysis predicts accumulation of ensifentrine of 1.3 and 1.4-fold for C max and AUC in healthy subjects and 1.4 and 1.5-fold for C max and AUC in subjects with COPD. Population pharmacokinetic analysis indicates that relative bioavailability in subjects with COPD is approximately 35% lower when compared to healthy subjects. Exposure to ensifentrine was associated with high inter-subject variability. Absorption Following inhaled administration of OHTUVAYRE in healthy subjects and subjects with COPD, ensifentrine C max was attained around 0.6 to 1.5 hours after dosing. A randomized, 2-period, cross-over study assessing systemic exposure following inhalation of 2 times the recommended dose of ensifentrine with and without charcoal block demonstrated that the majority of an inhaled dose (approximately 90%) is delivered to the lung from which it is absorbed. Distribution Apparent central and peripheral volume of distribution for ensifentrine in healthy subjects were 2700 L and 1820 L, respectively, as estimated in population PK analysis. In patients with COPD, apparent central and peripheral volumes were estimated as 8150 L and 5490 L, respectively. In vitro plasma protein binding of ensifentrine is approximately 90%. Elimination Following twice-daily administration for 6 days, terminal elimination half-life ranged from 10.6 to 12.6 hours in healthy subjects and subjects with COPD (1.5 mg to 12 mg twice daily). Metabolism Following administration of a single nebulized dose, 8 times the recommended dose of ensifentrine, unchanged ensifentrine was identified as the major drug-related component in human plasma, accounting for 96 and 99% of the drug-related material identified in T max and time-normalized (0-24 h) plasma samples, respectively. The primary metabolic routes for ensifentrine are oxidative (hydroxylation, O-demethylation) followed by conjugation (e.g., glucuronidation). In vitro results indicate that, at physiologically relevant concentrations, ensifentrine was predominantly metabolized by CYP2C9 and to a lesser extent by CYP2D6. Excretion The majority of ensifentrine is excreted in feces. After a 3 mg nebulized dose, urinary elimination of unchanged ensifentrine was negligible (<0.3% of the dose). Specific Populations Population pharmacokinetic analysis showed no evidence of a clinically significant effect of demographic covariates such as age (18 to 80 years), sex (56% male), ethnicity (Hispanic, Non-Hispanic), race (white, black) and weight (42 to 180 kg) on ensifentrine pharmacokinetics. Patients with Renal Impairment A dedicated study with OHTUVAYRE evaluating the effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of ensifentrine was not conducted. The effect of renal impairment on the exposure to ensifentrine for up to 24 weeks was evaluated in a population pharmacokinetic analysis. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) varied from 25.5 to 191 mL/min representing a range of moderate to no renal impairment. While continuous covariates of renal function did not show a significant correlation with ensifentrine exposure, categorical characterization of renal function indicated a 25% mean reduction in the apparent clearance in subjects with moderate renal impairment. The pharmacokinetics of ensifentrine in severe renal impairment (creatine clearance <30 mL/min) or subjects with end-stage renal disease have not been evaluated. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The pharmacokinetics of ensifentrine were evaluated in subjects with moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) (N=10) to severe (Child-Pugh Class C) (N=2) hepatic impairment. Ensifentrine C max and AUC inf were approximately 2.3-fold and 2.2-fold higher in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment compared with healthy controls. Ensifentrine C max and AUC inf were approximately 1.2-fold and 2.3-fold higher in subjects with severe hepatic impairment compared with healthy controls (N=7). Population PK analysis did not identify markers of liver function (ALT, AST, bilirubin, and ALP) as a significant covariate for exposure of ensifentrine. Drug Interaction Studies Effect of Other Drugs on OHTUVAYRE Clinical Studies Ensifentrine and Cytochrome P450 : Ensifentrine C max and AUC 0-inf were 1.4-fold and 1.6-fold higher; respectively, when a 3 mg single dose of OHTUVAYRE was concomitantly administered with CYP2C9 inhibitor fluconazole (200 mg twice daily). In Vitro Studies Ensifentrine and Efflux Transporters: Ensifentrine is not a substrate of the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Ensifentrine is a substrate of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Ensifentrine and Uptake Transporters: Ensifentrine is not a substrate of the uptake transporters OATP1B1 or OATP1B3. Effect of OHTUVAYRE on Other Drugs In Vitro Studies Ensifentrine and Cytochrome P450 : At therapeutically relevant concentrations, ensifentrine does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4. Ensifentrine and Efflux Transporters: At therapeutically relevant concentrations, ensifentrine is not an inhibitor of either BCRP or P-gp. Ensifentrine and Uptake Transporters: Ensifentrine does not inhibit the transporters, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1 or MATE2-K, at therapeutically relevant concentrations.

A two-year inhalation study in Han Wistar rats and a 6-month oral study in Tg.rasH2 transgenic mice were conducted to assess the carcinogenic potential of ensifentrine. No evidence of tumorigenicity was observed in male and female rats at an exposure approximately 40 times the MRHDID. No evidence of tumorigenicity was observed in male and female Tg.rasH2 mice at oral doses up to 80 mg/kg/day, the highest dose tested. Ensifentrine was negative for genotoxicity in the following assays: in vitro Ames test for bacterial gene mutation, in vivo comet test with rats, or in vivo micronucleus assay with mice. In a male fertility study, ensifentrine was administrated to male rats at inhalation doses of 2, 6, and 16 mg/kg/day (4, 13, and 30 times the exposure at the MRHDID) for 10 weeks prior to mating to untreated females. Male rats had decreased sperm motility and increased abnormal sperm morphology at an inhalation dose of 16 mg/kg/day (approximately 30 times the exposure at the MRHDID). Decreased sperm counts in the testis were observed at all doses. Atrophy/degeneration in the testis and intraluminal germ cell debris in the epididymis were observed at doses of 6 (13 times the exposure at the MRHDID) and 16 mg/kg/day (30 times the exposure at the MRHDID). Additional adverse effects at 16 mg/kg/day on reproductive performance included decreased mating index and decreased fertility index. The sperm counts, sperm motility, and sperm morphology were reversible at the end of a 4-week treatment-free period. Atrophy/degeneration in the testis and intraluminal germ cell debris in the epididymis were not present at the end of a 4-week treatment-free period. In a female fertility study, ensifentrine was administrated to female rats at inhalation doses of up to 18 mg/kg/day from two weeks prior to mating to 7 days after mating. Ensifentrine had no effect on female fertility and reproductive performance indices up to 18 mg/kg/day (31 times the exposure at the MRHDID).

The efficacy of OHTUVAYRE was evaluated in two 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trials (ENHANCE-1 [NCT04535986] and ENHANCE-2 [NCT04542057]). The two trials enrolled a total of 1553 adults with moderate to severe COPD. ENHANCE-1 enrolled a total of 763 patients randomized 5:3 to receive 3 mg of OHTUVAYRE administered by oral inhalation via standard jet nebulizer such as PARI LC Sprint® [see Description (11) ] , or placebo. Patients in ENHANCE-1 had a mean age of 65 years (range: 41 to 80 years), were 58% male, 90% White, 3% Black/African American, 3% Asian, 0.1% Other race, and 3% Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Patients had a mean smoking history of 41 pack-years and 57% were current smokers, and 25% of patients reported exacerbations of COPD within the 15 months prior to the study. At screening, the mean post-bronchodilator percent predicted FEV 1 was 52% (range: 27% to 85%), and the mean post-bronchodilator FEV 1 /FVC ratio was 0.52 (range: 0.22 to 0.71). In addition, 68% of patients were taking concurrent therapy: 30% taking concurrent LAMA, 18% taking concurrent LABA, and 20% taking concurrent LABA/ICS therapy throughout the trial. ENHANCE-2 enrolled a total of 790 patients randomized 5:3 to receive 3 mg of OHTUVAYRE twice daily administered by oral inhalation via a standard jet nebulizer such as PARI LC Sprint® [see Description (11) ] or placebo. Patients in ENHANCE-2 had a mean age of 65 years (range: 40 to 80 years), were 52% female, 95% White, 4% Black/African American, 0.3% Asian, 0.5% Other race, and 5% Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Patients had a mean smoking history of 42 pack-years and 55% were current smokers, and 21% of patients reported exacerbations of COPD within the 15 months prior to the study. At screening, the mean post-bronchodilator percent predicted FEV 1 was 51% (range: 23% to 81%), and the mean post-bronchodilator FEV 1 /FVC ratio was 0.52 (range: 0.24 to 0.71). In addition, 55% of patients were taking concurrent therapy: 33% taking concurrent LAMA, 7% taking concurrent LABA, and 15% taking concurrent LABA/ICS therapy throughout the trial. The primary endpoint for ENHANCE-1 and ENHANCE-2 was the change from baseline in FEV 1 AUC 0-12h post dose at Week 12. In both trials, OHTUVAYRE demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in FEV 1 AUC 0-12h compared to placebo. Refer to Table 2 for the primary endpoint results. Table 2.

Figure 1 Health-Related Quality of Life The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was assessed in ENHANCE-1 and ENHANCE-2. In ENHANCE-1, the SGRQ responder rate (defined as an improvement in score of 4 or more as threshold) for OHTUVAYRE at Week 24 was 58.2% compared to 45.9% for placebo [Odds Ratio: 1.49; 95% CI: 1.07, 2.07]. In ENHANCE-2, the SGRQ responder rate for OHTUVAYRE at Week 24 was 45.4% compared to 50.3% for placebo [Odds Ratio: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.66, 1.29].

This Patient Information has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Approved: 06/2024 PIL001 6/24 PATIENT INFORMATION OHTUVAYRE (OH-too-vare) (ensifentrine) inhalation suspension, for oral inhalation Important: For oral inhalation only. Do not swallow or inject OHTUVAYRE. What is OHTUVAYRE? OHTUVAYRE is a prescription medicine used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults. COPD is a chronic (long-term) lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. OHTUVAYRE is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterases 3 and 4 (PDE3 and PDE4). Decreasing PDE3 activity helps the muscles around the airways in your lungs stay relaxed to prevent symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, which can happen when muscles around the airway tighten, making it hard to breathe. Decreasing PDE4 activity helps to decrease inflammation in the lungs. Inflammation in the lungs can lead to breathing problems. OHTUVAYRE is used to improve symptoms of COPD for better breathing and to reduce the number of flare-ups (the worsening of your COPD symptoms for several days). OHTUVAYRE is used long-term as 1 ampule of OHTUVAYRE, 2 times each day (1 in the morning and 1 in the evening) inhaled through your nebulizer that is fitted with a mouthpiece. OHTUVAYRE is not used to relieve sudden breathing problems and will not replace an inhaled rescue medicine. OHTUVAYRE should not be used in children. It is not known if OHTUVAYRE is safe and effective in children. Do not use OHTUVAYRE if you have had an allergic reaction to ensifentrine or any of the ingredients in OHTUVAYRE. See " What are the ingredients in OHTUVAYRE? " at the end of this Patient Information leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in OHTUVAYRE.
