NDA 21-410 S-013 Page 13 Since thiazolidinediones, including rosiglitazone, can cause fluid retention, which can exacerbate or lead to congestive heart failure, AVANDAMET should be used with caution in patients at risk for heart failure. Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of heart failure see WARNINGS, Cardiac Failure and Other Cardiac Effects and PRECAUTIONS, Information for Patients ; . In controlled clinical trials of patients with type 2 diabetes, mild to moderate edema was reported in patients treated with rosiglitazone maleate, and may be dose related. Patients with ongoing edema are more likely to have adverse events associated with edema if started on combination therapy with insulin and rosiglitazone see ADVERSE REACTIONS ; . Weight Gain: Dose-related weight gain was seen with rosiglitazone alone or in combination with other hypoglycemic agents see Table 3 ; . The mechanism of weight gain is unclear but probably involves a combination of fluid retention and fat accumulation. In postmarketing experience with rosiglitazone alone or in combination with other hypoglycemic agents, there have been rare reports of unusually rapid increases in weight and increases in excess of that generally observed in clinical trials. Patients who experience such increases should be assessed for fluid accumulation and volume-related events such as excessive edema and congestive heart failure. Table 3.

The changes occurred primarily during the first 3 months following initiation of rosiglitazone therapy or following an increase in rosiglitazone dose. White blood cell counts also decreased slightly in patients treated with rosiglitazone. The observed changes may be related to the increased plasma volume observed with treatment with rosiglitazone and may be dose related see ADVERSE REACTIONS, Laboratory Abnormalities ; . Ovulation: Therapy with rosiglitazone, like other thiazolidinediones, may result in ovulation in some premenopausal anovulatory women. As a result, these patients may be at an increased risk for pregnancy while taking AVANDAMET see PRECAUTIONS, Pregnancy, Pregnancy Category C ; . Thus, adequate contraception in premenopausal women should be recommended. This possible effect has not been specifically investigated in clinical studies so the frequency of this occurrence is not known.
25 merchandised, advertised, promoted, labeled, analyzed, tested, distributed and marketed by the GSK 26 Defendants under the trade names of Avandia Tablets, Avandajet Tablets, and Avandaryl Tablets 27 hereinafter collectively referred to as "Avandia" ; , and is a member of the class of drugs known as 28 Thiazolidinediones "TZDs" ; . Avandia was first approved for use in the United States by the Food 3. Finalising a review of the benefits and risks of the thiazolidinediones rosiglitazone Avandia ; and pioglitazone Actos ; , the European Medicines Agency has concluded that the benefits of these antidiabetic medicines continue to outweigh their risks in the approved indications. However, the Agency recommended changing the product information for rosiglitazone and agreed further initiatives to increase scientific knowledge on the safety of both medicines. The Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use CHMP ; carried out this review as part of its continuous monitoring of the safety of medicines, because of new information on these medicines' side effects. This included information on the risk of bone fractures in women, and, in patients taking rosiglitazone, a possible risk of ischaemic heart disease reduced blood supply to the heart muscle ; . This raised concerns over the benefit-risk balance of both rosiglitazone and pioglitazone. Having assessed all available data, the CHMP concluded that the benefits of both rosiglitazone and pioglitazone in the treatment of type 2 diabetes continue to outweigh their risks. However, the prescribing information should be updated to include a warning that, in patients with ischaemic heart disease, rosiglitazone should only be used after careful evaluation of each patient's individual risk. In addition, the combination of rosiglitazone and insulin should only be used in exceptional cases and under close supervision. These changes will be introduced in forthcoming regulatory procedures for rosiglitazone-containing medicines. No changes to the prescribing information for medicines containing pioglitazone were considered necessary. The Committee will review the results of currently ongoing studies. It also recommended that further studies be performed in order to increase the level of scientific knowledge on the two medicines. -- ENDS -Notes: 1.

New prescribing information to be sent to the advertising agency and for the advertisement to be certified with a new code. GlaxoSmithKline stated that this was a one-off error, which occurred around a time of high staff turnover. GlaxoSmithKline immediately updated its procedures, to ensure that a change in staff would not cause the same error to recur. It had liaised with its advertising agency to ensure immediate insertion of the current prescribing information into all future advertisements. Given the nature of the change to the prescribing information, GlaxoSmithKline did not consider that patients would have been put at serious risk. GlaxoSmithKline invited the Authority to review the prescribing information for Avandia and Avandamet against the respective summaries of product characteristics SPCs ; . GlaxoSmithKline very much regretted the breach and reassured the Authority that it had taken appropriate steps to avoid any repeat of this error. When writing to GlaxoSmithKline, the Authority asked it to respond in relation to Clauses 2, 4.1 and 9.1 of the Code. RESPONSE GlaxoSmithKline acknowledged that the out of date prescribing information had been used in 84 advertisements from 30 August 2006 until the end of November 2006; a list of the relevant publications was provided. GlaxoSmithKline therefore conceded a breach of Clause 4.1 as per its voluntary admission. GlaxoSmithKline's standard procedure was that if there was a change to the SPC, the prescribing information was updated and certified, and a unique identifying number was raised for each size of advertisement requiring the updated prescribing information. A job bag was created, containing the new advertisement with the updated prescribing information, which was then reviewed by the medical.
NDA 21-410 S-010 Page 12 CONTRAINDICATIONS AVANDAMET tablets are contraindicated in patients with: 1. Renal disease or renal dysfunction e.g., as suggested by serum creatinine levels 1.5 mg dL [males], 1.4 mg dL [females], or abnormal creatinine clearance ; , which may also result from conditions such as cardiovascular collapse shock ; , acute myocardial infarction, and septicemia see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS ; . 2. Known hypersensitivity to rosiglitazone maleate or metformin hydrochloride. 3. Acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma. Diabetic ketoacidosis should be treated with insulin. AVANDAMET should be temporarily discontinued in patients undergoing radiologic studies involving intravascular administration of iodinated contrast materials, because use of such products may result in acute alteration of renal function see also PRECAUTIONS ; . WARNINGS Metformin hydrochloride Lactic Acidosis Lactic acidosis is a rare, but serious, metabolic complication that can occur due to metformin accumulation during treatment with AVANDAMET; when it occurs, it is fatal in approximately 50% of cases. Lactic acidosis may also occur in association with a number of pathophysiologic conditions, including diabetes mellitus, and whenever there is significant tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxemia. Lactic acidosis is characterized by elevated blood lactate levels 5 mmol L ; , decreased blood pH, electrolyte disturbances with an increased anion gap, and an increased lactate pyruvate ratio. When metformin is implicated as the cause of lactic acidosis, metformin plasma levels 5 mcg ml are generally found. The reported incidence of lactic acidosis in patients receiving metformin hydrochloride is very low approximately 0.03 cases 1, 000 patient years of exposure, with approximately 0.015 fatal cases 1, 000 patient years of exposure ; . Reported cases have occurred primarily in diabetic patients with significant renal insufficiency, including both intrinsic renal disease and renal hypoperfusion, often in the setting of multiple concomitant medical surgical problems and multiple concomitant medications. Patients with congestive heart failure requiring pharmacologic management, in particular those with unstable or acute congestive heart failure who are at risk of hypoperfusion and hypoxemia, are at increased risk of lactic acidosis. The risk of lactic acidosis increases with the degree of renal dysfunction and the patient's age. The risk of lactic acidosis may, therefore, be significantly decreased by regular monitoring of renal function in patients taking AVANDAMET and by use of the minimum effective dose of AVANDAMET. In particular, treatment of the elderly should be accompanied by careful monitoring of renal function. Treatment with AVANDAMET should not be initiated in patients 80 years of age unless measurement of creatinine clearance demonstrates that renal function is not reduced, as these patients are more susceptible to developing lactic acidosis. In addition, AVANDAMET should be promptly withheld in the presence of any condition associated with hypoxemia, dehydration, or sepsis. Because impaired hepatic function may significantly limit the ability to clear lactate, AVANDAMET should generally be avoided in patients with clinical or laboratory evidence of hepatic disease. Patients should be cautioned against excessive alcohol intake, either acute or chronic, when taking AVANDAMET, since alcohol potentiates the effects of metformin hydrochloride on lactate metabolism. In addition, AVANDAMET should be temporarily and prandin.

AVANDAMET may cause fluid retention or swelling, which could lead to heart failure or make heart failure worse, so tell your doctor if you have a history of heart failure or swelling edema ; . Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms such as: swelling or fluid retention, especially of the ankles or legs shortness of breath or trouble breathing, especially when you lie down unusual tiredness an unusually rapid increase in weight There is a small risk of developing low blood sugar hypoglycemia ; while taking AVANDAMET. Lightheadedness, dizziness, shakiness or hunger may indicate that your blood sugar is too low. This can happen if you skip meals, if you use another medicine that lowers blood sugar, or if you have certain medical problems. Fractures, usually in the hand, upper arm or foot, have occurred in females taking rosiglitazone, one of the components of AVANDAMET. Talk to your doctor for advice on how to keep your bones healthy. Other Side Effects. Common side effects of AVANDAMET are diarrhea, nausea, and upset stomach. These side effects usually occur during the first few weeks of therapy. Taking AVANDAMET with meals can help reduce these side effects. Stomach problems when you first take AVANDAMET are common. However, stomach problems that start up later may be a sign of something more serious and should be discussed with your doctor. Other common side effects are cold-like symptoms, headache, weight gain, and anemia. How should I store AVANDAMET? AVANDAMET should be stored at room temperature in a childproof container out of the reach of children. Store AVANDAMET in its original container. General Advice about prescription medicines This leaflet summarizes important information about AVANDAMET. If you have questions or problems, talk with your doctor or other healthcare provider. You can ask your doctor or pharmacist for information about AVANDAMET that is written for healthcare providers. Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those listed in a patient information leaflet. Do not use AVANDAMET for a condition for which it was not prescribed.

Also presented at the conference was a 24-week double-blind study comparingincreasing the dose of metformin monotherapy with the fixed-dosecombination therapy avandamet metformin and rosiglitazone ; as a secondline treatment for type 2 diabetes. Triggers for future environmental effects monitoring programmes also continue to be debated. At present, no further nickel studies are contemplated. Construction of the RO plant, and reflooding of the Deilmann Gaertner system have reduced the nickel load at least for the time being, and four studies over the past eight years have essentially not found significant environmental impact in the near-field aquatic receiving environment. We have also essentially site-validated the SSWQO for nickel. The cost-benefit of intervening with a treatment plant to reduce nickel loadings to the environment has not been carried out. At this stage, we would be hard-pressed to justify the necessary cost-benefit study, since it would likely require yet another field study to evaluate fish population change in the McDonald Lake system. One aspect which will be interesting to follow in the future is the potential for a transitory nickel rebound from the sediment in Horsefly Lake. The discharge objective of 0.1 mg Ni L was largely set to achieve a value of 0.06 mg Ni L in Little McDonald Lake. In part, this reduction was due to co-precipitation of nickel with iron hydroxide in Horsefly Lake. Addition of iron removal in the RO plant pre-treatment process increased residence times in Horsefly Lake due to lower flows, and reduced end-of-pipe concentrations have all potentially changed the equilibrium. However laboratory studies and literature data indicate that the nickel in the sediments should be relatively stable and lamisil.

Australia -- Thiazolidinediones include rosiglitazone Avandia and Avandamet ; and pioglitazone Actos ; . These medicines act to increase insulin sensitivity and are widely prescribed to treat type II diabetes mellitus. Recent evidence suggests thiazolidinediones are associated with an increased risk of peripheral fractures in post-menopausal women. The ADOPT study 1 ; was a randomized, double-blind, parallel group study that followed the progression of 4360 recently diagnosed patients with diabetes mellitus for a median of 4.0 years. The incidence of fractures in women taking rosiglitazone was 9.3%, compared with 5.1% in those taking metformin and 3.5% in those taking glibenclamide. The majority of fractures in these patients were in the humerus, hand, or foot. The incidence of fractures of the hip or spine in women and the incidence of fractures in males were similar among the 3 treatment groups. A sponsor-initiated review of fracture risk in patients treated with pioglitazone for up to 3.5 years also found more fractures in female patients taking pioglitazone than those taking a comparator. There was no increased risk of fracture identified in men. The sponsors of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone have updated the product infor and lotrisone. Outlook Sales growth of existing products and launch of new products are key drivers of GSK's business performance. The strong growth seen from key products such as Seretide Advair, Avandia Avandamet and from GSK's vaccines business is expected to continue in 2006. Eight major development projects are scheduled to enter phase III in 2006. These include the oncology products casopitant and pazopanib, as well as products for Alzheimer's disease, HIV, meningitis, lupus and diabetes. Up to seven product filings are planned in 2006. These include two vaccines, Cervarix for cervical cancer and a potential flu pandemic vaccine, Allermist for allergic rhinitis, eltrombopag for low platelet count to help patients suffering from thrombocytopenia, Tykerb for breast cancer, mepolizumab for hypereosinophilic syndrome and Lamictal XR, a once-daily formulation for epilepsy. Seven products are expected to be launched approved in 2006. These include Rotarix for rotavirus, Entereg for post-operative bowel disorders, Trexmia for migraine, Avandaryl for diabetes, Coreg CR for heart failure, Arranon for cancer and Altabax for infections. Typically, sales of existing products decline dramatically when generic competition is introduced either on patent expiry or earlier if there is a successful challenge to the Group's patent. GlaxoSmithKline is engaged in legal proceedings regarding the validity and infringement of the Group's patents relating to many of its products. These are discussed in `Risk factors' below and in Note 41 to the financial statements, `Legal proceedings'. GSK's published earnings guidance for 2006 is that earnings per share growth is expected to be around 10% in constant exchange rate terms. The Group has net debt of 1.2 billion, which is low relative to its market capitalisation, and this positions it to take advantage of any opportunities that might arise to build the business. There are risks and uncertainties inherent in the business that may affect future performance including R&D projects, anticipated sales growth and expected earnings growth. These are discussed in `Risk factors' below. Risk factors There are risks and uncertainties relevant to the Group's business. The factors listed below are among those that the Group thinks could cause the Group's actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Risk that R&D will not deliver commercially successful new products Continued development of commercially viable new products is critical to the Group's ability to replace sales of older products that decline upon expiration of exclusive rights, and to increase overall sales. Developing new products is a costly, lengthy and uncertain process. A new product candidate can fail at any stage of the process, and one or more late-stage product candidates could fail to receive regulatory approval. New product candidates may appear promising in development but, after significant investments, fail to reach the market or have only limited commercial success as a result of efficacy or safety concerns, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, difficulty or excessive costs to manufacture, infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights of others or inability to differentiate the product adequately from those with which it competes. Risk of loss or expiration of patents or marketing exclusivity Patent infringement litigation Efforts by generic manufacturers may involve challenges to the validity of a patent or assertions that the alternative compounds do not infringe the Group's patents. If the Group is not successful during the patent protection or data exclusivity periods in maintaining exclusive rights to market one or more of its major products, particularly in the USA where the Group has its highest turnover and margins, the Group's turnover and margins would be adversely affected. See Note 41 to the financial statements, `Legal proceedings', for a discussion of patent-related proceedings in which the Group is involved. Generic drug manufacturers are seeking to market generic versions of many of the Group's most important products, including Avandia, Zofran, Wellbutrin XL, Imitrex, Lamictal, Valtrex and Paxil CR, prior to the expiration of the Group's patents, and have exhibited a readiness to do so for other products in the future. Generic products competitive with Paxil IR and Wellbutrin SR were launched in the USA in 2003 and 2004, respectively, and had a significant impact on the Group's overall turnover and earnings. Weakness of intellectual property protection in certain countries In some of the countries in which the Group operates, patent protection may be significantly weaker than in the USA or the European Union. In addition, in an effort to control public health crises, some developing countries, such as South Africa and Brazil, have considered plans for substantial reductions in the scope of patent protection for pharmaceutical products. In particular, these countries could facilitate competition within their markets from generic manufacturers who would otherwise be unable to introduce competing products for a number of years. Any loss of patent protection, including abrogation of patent rights or compulsory licensing, is likely to affect adversely the Group's operating results in those national markets but is not expected to be material to the Group overall. Absence of adequate patent protection could limit the opportunity to look to such markets for future sales growth.

Renal disease or renal dysfunction e.g., as suggested by serum creatinine levels 1.5 mg dL [males], 1.4 mg dL [females], or abnormal creatinine clearance ; , which may also result from conditions such as cardiovascular collapse shock ; , acute myocardial infarction, and septicemia see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS ; . 2. Congestive heart failure requiring pharmacologic treatment. 3. Known hypersensitivity to rosiglitazone maleate or metformin hydrochloride. 4. Acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma. Diabetic ketoacidosis should be treated with insulin. AVANDAMET should be temporarily discontinued in patients undergoing radiologic studies involving intravascular administration of iodinated contrast materials, because use of such products may result in acute alteration of renal function see also PRECAUTIONS ; . WARNINGS Metformin hydrochloride Lactic Acidosis Lactic acidosis is a rare, but serious, metabolic complication that can occur due to metformin accumulation during treatment with AVANDAMET; when it occurs, it is fatal in approximately 50% of cases. Lactic acidosis may also occur in association with a number of pathophysiologic conditions, including diabetes mellitus, and whenever there is significant tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxemia. Lactic acidosis is characterized by elevated blood lactate levels 5 mmol L ; , decreased blood pH, electrolyte disturbances with an increased anion gap, and an increased lactate pyruvate ratio. When metformin is implicated as the cause of lactic acidosis, metformin plasma levels 5 mcg ml are generally found. The reported incidence of lactic acidosis in patients receiving metformin hydrochloride is very low approximately 0.03 cases 1, 000 patient years of exposure, with approximately 0.015 fatal cases 1, 000 patient years of exposure ; . Reported cases have occurred primarily in diabetic patients with significant renal insufficiency, including both intrinsic renal disease and renal hypoperfusion, often in the setting of multiple concomitant medical surgical problems and multiple concomitant medications. Patients with congestive heart failure requiring pharmacologic management, in particular those with unstable or acute congestive heart failure who are at risk of hypoperfusion and hypoxemia, are at increased risk of lactic acidosis. The risk of lactic acidosis increases with the degree of renal dysfunction and the patient's age. The risk of lactic acidosis may, therefore, be significantly decreased by regular monitoring of renal function in patients taking AVANDAMET and by use of the minimum effective dose of AVANDAMET. In particular, treatment of the elderly should be accompanied by careful monitoring of renal function. Treatment with AVANDAMET should not be initiated in patients 80 years of age unless measurement of creatinine clearance demonstrates that renal function is not reduced, as these patients are more susceptible to developing lactic acidosis. In addition, AVANDAMET should be promptly withheld in the presence of any condition associated with hypoxemia, dehydration, or sepsis. Because impaired hepatic function may significantly limit the ability to clear lactate, AVANDAMET should generally be avoided in patients with clinical or laboratory evidence of hepatic disease. Patients should be cautioned against excessive alcohol intake, either acute or chronic, when taking AVANDAMET, since alcohol potentiates the effects of metformin hydrochloride on lactate metabolism. In addition, AVANDAMET should be temporarily discontinued prior to any intravascular radiocontrast study and for any surgical procedure see also PRECAUTIONS. Several points regarding the insulin sensitizers warrant mention here as well. First, metformin dosages beyond 1, 000 mg twice daily will unlikely offer further benefit and may increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects that could potentially result in the discontinuation of this extremely useful agent.30 The effect of metformin on glucose control is also seen fairly quickly, on the order of one to two weeks. The TZDs are somewhat less confusing in this regard in that the maximal prescribable dose is the same as the maximally effective dose. However, with rosiglitazone it should be noted that 4 mg twice daily may be more potent than 8 mg once daily.32 Lastly, it should be realized that it takes more time for the TZDs to demonstrate full effect than the other oral agents 3 to 4 months vs. several weeks ; .32, 33, 36 Combination agents Within the last 2 years several combination agents have been released for use in the management of type 2 DM. The patient-friendly nature of these agents is a frequently sited benefit. "By prescribing these agents physicians can decrease cost one co-pay ; and increase compliance fewer tablets ; ." The issue of cost certainly is important. However, the number of co-pays is but one factor in medication expenditures.
