I sotretinoin Product Manufacturers Group Development Process of iPLEDGE Christine Mundkur Sr. VP, Quality and Regulatory Counsel, Barr Laboratories, Inc. Isotretinoin Product Manufacturers Group iPLEDGE Program Status Update James Shamp Director, Covance, Inc.

5 P-5 Overview of iPLEDGE

6 P-6 Isotretinoin Public Health Goal To eliminate fetal exposure to isotretinoin by ensuring that: No female patient starts isotretinoin therapy if pregnant No female patient on isotretinoin therapy becomes pregnant

7 P-7 iPLEDGE The system of checks and balances, documentation and verification that requires: Mandatory registration of prescribers, patients, pharmacies and wholesalers Mandatory monthly laboratory pregnancy tests verified by prescriber Mandatory interactive educational questions about contraception and birth defects each month Authorization for a prescription to be dispensed only after the patient has met all criteria

8 P-8 Evolution of iPLEDGE

9 P-9 History of Isotretinoin Pregnancy Risk Management Approved in 1982: –For Severe Recalcitrant Nodular Acne (SRNA) –Only for patients who are unresponsive to conventional therapy, including systemic antibiotics Warnings about teratogenicity were included from the beginning – 1982 Formal Pregnancy Prevention Program with voluntary survey, educational materials – 1988 Frequent, incremental enhancements based on experience SMART program instituted – 2002

10 P-10 February 2004 Joint Advisory Committee Meeting Roche provided 1-year results for SMART Sponsors proposed a single enhanced pregnancy risk management program for all isotretinoin products –Registry for prescribers, pharmacies, and patients –Pregnancy registry Advisory Committees agreed with Sponsors’ proposal with feedback

11 P-11 S.M.A.R.T. ® Risk Management Program Prescriber Requirements –S.M.A.R.T. Guide to Best Practices –S.M.A.R.T. Letter of Understanding Registration –Accutane Qualification Sticker Pharmacist Requirements –No more than a 30-day supply –Dispense within 7 days of qualification date –No refills, telephone or computerized prescriptions allowed

12 P-12 S.M.A.R.T. ® Risk Management Program Patient Requirements –Doctor must affix a yellow qualification sticker to the isotretinoin prescription each month, which signifies that the patient has been qualified as described in CONTRAINDICATIONS AND WARNINGS of the package insert –Female patients of childbearing potential must have A negative pregnancy test each month Committed to using two effective forms of contraception simultaneously Signed an informed consent form Informed of the purpose and importance of participating in the Accutane Survey

13 P-13 S.M.A.R.T. ® Evaluation The effectiveness of the S.M.A.R.T. program was evaluated using the following: The Prescription Compliance Survey A S.M.A.R.T.-revised Accutane Survey Pregnancy case reports for a time period before S.M.A.R.T. vs. during S.M.A.R.T.

14 P-14 Prescription Compliance Survey Results Qualification Sticker affixed to prescription – 97.2% Qualification Sticker correctly completed – 96.4% Conclusions All metrics for use of sticker exceeded The mechanics of the sticker work well

15 P-15 Accutane Survey Results Increased enrollment (28%), but did not increase to 60% 9% of female patients who recalled the qualification sticker did not recall a pregnancy test prior to initiation of therapy Conclusions Understand need to avoid pregnancy Incomplete compliance with pregnancy testing and contraceptive requirements

16 P-16 Pregnancy Reporting Results for S.M.A.R.T. ® Year-1 Pre-S.M.A.R.T. 1 N=150 S.M.A.R.T. 2 N=183 Patient pregnant prior to starting ACCUTANE therapy 28 (19%)24 (13%) Patient became pregnant while on ACCUTANE therapy 77 (51.3%)75 (41.0%) Patient became pregnant within 30 days after stopping ACCUTANE therapy 44 (29.3%)58 (31.7%) Unknown1 (< 1%)26 (14%) 1 Treatment started April 1, 2001 to March 31, 2002 with the report received by August 15, 2002 2 Treatment started April 1, 2002 to March 31, 2003 with the report received by August 15, 2003

17 P-17 Sponsors’ Proposal for Program Enhancements Further tighten existing links between pregnancy testing and dispensing of drug Reinforce patient commitment to using two forms of contraception Single risk management program for isotretinoin Limited participation with voluntary patient survey Centralized pregnancy reporting –Root Cause Analysis

18 P-18 Feedback from Joint Advisory Committee Meeting Advisory Committees agreed with Sponsors’ proposal with the following additional feedback Registration of all health care professionals prescribing or dispensing isotretinoin Comprehension testing of the educational materials Mandatory patient follow-up survey Launch of program should not be delayed by a pilot program or cost analysis

19 P-19 iPLEDGE Enhancements Gaps from Previous RMPsRisk Management Enhancements Tighten pregnancy testing link Laboratory-conducted pregnancy test Pregnancy test results entered into system Reinforce patient contraception use Patient and prescriber entries for the primary form must match Patient must answer monthly education questions Single pregnancy RMPRegistry ensures education of prescribers, pharmacies, and patients

20 P-20 iPLEDGE Enhancements (cont’d) Gaps from Previous RMPsRisk Management Enhancements Limited survey participation Patient must answer monthly education questions Centralized pregnancy reporting iPLEDGE Pregnancy Registry with RCA Prescribers must report all isotretinoin exposed pregnancies Lost to follow-up plan  ensure best attempt to follow-up all Females of Child-Bearing Potential (FCBP)
