Overview

Netarsudil is a Rho kinase inhibitor that is FDA approved for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Common adverse reactions include conjunctival hyperemia, corneal verticillata, instillation site pain, and conjunctival hemorrhage.

Adult Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)

Indications:
  • Netarsudil 0.02% is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Dosage:
  • The recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.
  • If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose in the evening. Twice a day dosing is not well tolerated and is not recommended. If Netarsudil is to be used concomitantly with other topical ophthalmic drug products to lower IOP, administer each drug product at least 5 minutes apart.

Use with Contact Lenses
  • Contact lenses should be removed prior to instillation of Netarsudil and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.

Adverse Reactions

Clinical Trials Experience

  • Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
  • The most common ocular adverse reaction observed in controlled clinical studies with Netarsudil dosed once daily was conjunctival hyperemia which was reported in 53% of patients. Other common (approximately 20%) ocular adverse reactions reported were: corneal verticillata, instillation site pain, and conjunctival hemorrhage. Instillation site erythema, corneal staining, blurred vision, increased lacrimation, erythema of eyelid, and reduced visual acuity were reported in 5-10% of patients.

Corneal Verticillata

  • Corneal verticillata occurred in approximately 20% of the patients in controlled clinical studies. The corneal verticillata seen in Netarsudil-treated patients were first noted at 4 weeks of daily dosing. This reaction did not result in any apparent visual functional changes in patients. Most corneal verticillata resolved upon discontinuation of treatment.

Use in Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category (FDA): Risk Summary

  • There are no available data on Netarsudil use in pregnant women to inform any drug associated risk; however, systemic exposure to Netarsudil from ocular administration is low. Intravenous administration of Netarsudil to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis did not produce adverse embryofetal effects at clinically relevant systemic exposures.

Data (Animal)

  • Netarsudil administered daily by intravenous injection to rats during organogenesis caused abortions and embryofetal lethality at doses ≥0.3 mg/kg/day (126-fold the plasma exposure at the recommended human ophthalmic dose [RHOD], based on Cmax). The no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for embryofetal development toxicity was 0.1 mg/kg/day (40-fold the plasma exposure at the RHOD, based on Cmax).
  • Netarsudil administered daily by intravenous injection to rabbits during organogenesis caused embryofetal lethality and decreased fetal weight at 5 mg/kg/day (1480-fold the plasma exposure at the RHOD, based on Cmax). Malformations were observed at ≥3 mg/kg/day (1330-fold the plasma exposure at the RHOD, based on Cmax), including thoracogastroschisis, umbilical hernia and absent intermediate lung lobe. The NOAEL for embryofetal development toxicity was 0.5 mg/kg/day (214-fold the plasma exposure at the RHOD, based on Cmax).

However, systemic exposure to Netarsudil following topical ocular administration is low, and it is not known whether measurable levels of Netarsudil would be present in maternal milk following topical ocular administration.
  • The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Netarsudil and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed child from Netarsudil.

Pediatric Use

  • Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 18 years have not been established.

Geriatic Use

  • No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and other adult patients.

Mechanism of Action

  • Netarsudil is a rho kinase inhibitor, which is believed to reduce IOP by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork route. The exact mechanism is unknown.

Structure

Pharmacodynamics

There is limited information regarding Netarsudil Pharmacodynamics in the drug label.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

  • The systemic exposures of Netarsudil and its active metabolite, AR-13503, were evaluated in 18 healthy subjects after topical ocular administration of Netarsudil 0.02% once daily (one drop bilaterally in the morning) for 8 days. There were no quantifiable plasma concentrations of Netarsudil (lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) 0.100 ng/mL) post dose on Day 1 and Day 8. Only one plasma concentration at 0.11 ng/mL for the active metabolite was observed for one subject on Day 8 at 8 hours post-dose.

Metabolism

  • After topical ocular dosing, Netarsudil is metabolized by esterases in the eye.

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
  • Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of Netarsudil. Netarsudil was not mutagenic in the Ames test, in the mouse lymphoma test, or in the in vivo rat micronucleus test. Studies to evaluate the effects of Netarsudil on male or female fertility in animals have not been performed.

Clinical Studies

  • Netarsudil 0.02% was evaluated in three randomized and controlled clinical trials, namely AR-13324-CS301 (NCT 02207491, referred to as Study 301), AR-13324-CS302 (NCT 02207621, referred to as Study 302), and AR-13324-CS304 (NCT 02558374, referred to as Study 304), in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Studies 301 and 302 enrolled subjects with baseline IOP lower than 27 mmHg and Study 304 enrolled subjects with baseline IOP lower than 30 mmHg. The treatment duration was 3 months in Study 301, 12 months in Study 302, and 6 months in Study 304.
  • The three studies demonstrated up to 5 mmHg reductions in IOP for subjects treated with Netarsudil 0.02% once daily in the evening. For patients with baseline IOP < 25 mmHg, the IOP reductions with Netarsudil 0.02% dosed once daily were similar to those with timolol 0.5% dosed twice daily (see Table 1). For patients with baseline IOP equal to or above 25 mmHg, however, Netarsudil 0.02% resulted in smaller mean IOP reductions at the morning time points than timolol 0.5% for study visits on Days 43 and 90; the difference in mean IOP reduction between the two treatment groups was as high as 3 mmHg, favoring timolol.

  • This table was produced based on the observed data from all randomized subjects who did not have major protocol violations. The treatment differences and two-sided CIs for comparing Netarsudil QD vs Timolol BID 0.5% were based on Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted for baseline IOP.

Patient Counseling Information

Handling the Container

  • Instruct patients to avoid allowing the tip of the dispensing container to contact the eye, surrounding structures, fingers, or any other surface in order to minimize contamination of the solution. Serious damage to the eye and subsequent loss of vision may result from using contaminated solutions.

When to Seek Physician Advice

  • Advise patients that if they develop an intercurrent ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection), have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, they should immediately seek their physician’s advice concerning the continued use of Netarsudil.

Use with Contact Lenses

  • Advise patients that Netarsudil contains benzalkonium chloride, which may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed prior to instillation of Netarsudil and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.

Use with Other Ophthalmic Drugs

  • Advise patients that if more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least 5 minutes between applications.

Missed Dose

  • Advise patients that if one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose in the evening.

Precautions with Alcohol

Alcohol-Netarsudil interaction has not been established. Talk to your doctor regarding the effects of taking alcohol with this medication.
