Side Effects of Idose
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials 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. The following adverse events rates are derived from three randomized, double-masked clinical trials in which 868 patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) received an iDose TR and were followed for one year. The most commonly reported ocular adverse reactions (2% to 6%) were increases in intraocular pressure, iritis, dry eye, visual field defects, eye pain, ocular hyperaemia, and reduced visual acuity.
Ocular adverse reactions reported in less than 2% of patients were conjunctival hemorrhage, photophobia, punctate keratitis, blepharitis, eye irritation, corneal abrasion, device dislocation, vitreous detachment, and foreign body sensation in eyes.
Warnings & Cautions for Idose
Iridocorneal Angles iDose TR should be used with caution in patients with
narrow iridocorneal angles (Shaffer grade < 3) or other angle abnormalities (e.g., peripheral anterior synechia, rubeosis iridis) that could impair proper placement of iDose TR at the planned implantation site.
Device Dislocation Dislocation of the iDose TR has been observed in clinical
trials. Patients should be monitored routinely to confirm the location of the iDose TR at the site of administration. If the iDose TR implant becomes dislocated, it should be surgically removed .
Patients without Baseline Corneal Endothelial Cell Density
Prior to Initial Administration It is not recommended to readminister iDose TR if baseline central corneal endothelial cell density was not established prior to initial administration of iDose TR .
Recommended Minimum Corneal Endothelial Cell Density for Readministration Central corneal endothelial cell
density should not be less than the recommended minimum listed in Table 2 prior to the initial administration of iDose TR and prior to each readministration. If corneal endothelial cell density was not established prior to the initial administration of iDose TR and only a single eye was implanted, corneal endothelial cell density in the un-implanted contralateral eye meeting the recommended minimum density may be used for eligibility determination for readministration of iDose TR (see Table 2 ). Table 2: Recommended Minimum Central Corneal Endothelial Cell Density Central Corneal Endothelial Cell Density Age Phakic Eyes Pseudophakic Eyes ≤ 45 years 2,200 (cells/mm 2 ) 1,540 (cells/mm 2 ) 46 to 55 years 2,000 (cells/mm 2 ) 1,400 (cells/mm 2 ) 56 to 65 years 1,800 (cells/mm 2 ) 1,260 (cells/mm 2 ) > 65 years 1,600 (cells/mm 2 ) 1,120 (cells/mm 2 )
Corneal Endothelial Cell Loss iDose TR should be readministered with caution in
eyes with 10% or greater loss in central corneal endothelial cell density from pre-administration baseline (adjusted for age-related 1% loss per year and for a 10% loss following an anterior segment surgical procedure ). If baseline corneal endothelial cell density was not established prior to the initial administration of iDose TR and only a single eye is implanted, a 10% threshold level of endothelial cell density loss as a difference of the implanted eye versus un-implanted contralateral eye should be considered before readministering iDose TR.
Macular Edema Macular edema, including cystoid macular edema, has been reported during
treatment with ophthalmic travoprost, including iDose TR intracameral implant. iDose TR should be used with caution in aphakic patients, in pseudophakic patients with a torn posterior lens capsule, or in patients with known risk factors for macular edema.
Intraocular Inflammation Prostaglandin analogs, including iDose TR, have been reported to cause
intraocular inflammation. iDose TR should be used with caution in patients with active intraocular inflammation (e.g., uveitis) because the inflammation may be exacerbated.
Pigmentation Topical ophthalmic travoprost has been reported to cause increased pigmentation to
pigmented tissues. Pigmentation is expected to increase as long as travoprost is administered. The pigmentation change is due to increased melanin content in the melanocytes rather than to an increase in the number of melanocytes.
After discontinuation of travoprost, pigmentation of the iris is likely to be permanent. The long-term effects of increased pigmentation are not known. Iris color change may not be noticeable for several months to years.
Typically, the brown pigmentation around the pupil spreads concentrically towards the periphery of the iris and the entire iris or parts of the iris become more brownish. Neither nevi nor freckles of the iris appear to be affected by treatment. While treatment with travoprost can be continued in patients who develop noticeably increased iris pigmentation, these patients should be examined regularly.
Endophthalmitis Intraocular surgical procedures and injections have been associated with endophthalmitis. Proper
aseptic technique must always be used with administering iDose TR, and patients should be monitored following the administration. 5.10 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Conditional iDose TR is MR Conditional. Patients should be informed that the implant is MR Conditional (as noted on their Patient ID card). If the patient requires magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), they should inform their healthcare provider that they have an iDose TR implanted in their eye. A patient with the iDose TR may be safely scanned under the following conditions.
Failure to follow these conditions may result in injury to the patient. Parameter Condition of Use / Information Nominal Values of Static Magnetic Field (T)
T or less Maximum Spatial Field Gradient (T/m and gauss/cm) 40-T/m (4,000-gauss/cm)
Type of RF Excitation Circularly Polarized (CP) (i.e., Quadrature-Transmission) Transmit RF Coil Information Any transmit RF coil may be used Operating Mode of MR System Normal Operating Mode Maximum Whole Body Averaged SAR 2-W/kg (Normal Operating Mode) Maximum Head SAR 3.2-W/kg (Normal Operating Mode) Limits on Scan Duration Whole body averaged SAR of 2-W/kg for 60 minutes of continuous RF exposure (i.e., per pulse sequence or back-to-back sequences/series without breaks) MR Image Artifact The presence of this implant produces an imaging artifact. Therefore, carefully select pulse sequence parameters if the implant is located in the area of interest.
Pregnancy Safety for Idose
Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of iDose TR (travoprost intracameral implant) administration in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Subcutaneous administration of travoprost to pregnant mice and rats throughout the period of organogenesis produced embryo-fetal lethality, spontaneous abortion, and premature delivery at potentially clinically relevant doses. Advise pregnant women of a potential risk to a fetus. iDose TR should be administered during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Data Animal Data An embryo-fetal development study was conducted in pregnant rats administered travoprost once daily at doses up to 10 mcg/kg by subcutaneous injection from gestation day (GD) 6 to 17, to target the period of organogenesis. At 10 mcg/kg, 116 times the maximum human ocular dose (MHOD) of 1 implant per eye, based on body surface area (BSA), assuming sustained travoprost release from the implant for 6 months or 0.0139 mcg/kg/day, travoprost was teratogenic in rats, evidenced by an increase in the incidence of skeletal malformations as well as external and visceral malformations, including fused sternebrae, domed head and hydrocephaly. Travoprost caused post-implantation loss at 10 mcg/kg.
The fetal no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was 3 mcg/kg (34.5 times the maximum human ocular dose (MHOD) of 1 implant per eye, based on BSA). An embryo-fetal development study was conducted in pregnant mice administered travoprost once daily by subcutaneous injection at doses up to 1 mcg/kg from GD 6 to 16, to target the period of organogenesis. Travoprost induced an increase in post-implantation losses and a decrease in fetal viability in mice at subcutaneous doses > 0.3 mcg/kg. The fetal NOAEL was 0.3 mcg/kg (1.7 times the MHOD based on BSA). The maternal NOAEL was 1 mcg/kg (5.8 times the MHOD based on BSA). Pre/postnatal development studies were conducted in rats administered travoprost once daily by subcutaneous injection from GD 7 (early embryonic period) to postnatal Day 21 (end of lactation period). At doses of greater than or equal to 0.12 mcg/kg/day (1.4 times the MHOD based on BSA), the incidence of post-natal mortality was increased, and neonatal body weight was decreased.
Neonatal development was also affected, evidenced by delayed eye opening, pinna detachment and preputial separation, and by decreased motor activity.

Clinical Studies of Idose
iDose TR was evaluated in two multicenter, 12-month, randomized, parallel-group, double-masked, controlled clinical trials in patients with OAG or OHT. In both trials (GC-010, NCT03519386, and GC-012, NCT03868124), iDose TR was compared to twice-daily topical administration of timolol maleate ophthalmic solution, 0.5%. In the first 3 months following administration, iDose TR demonstrated an IOP change from baseline of -6.6 to -8.4 mmHg in the study eye of patients with a mean baseline IOP of 24 mmHg (see Figure 6 ). Figure 6: Change from Baseline in Study Eye IOP (mmHg) and Treatment Difference Study GC-010 Study GC-012 iDose TR demonstrated non-inferiority to timolol ophthalmic solution in IOP reduction during the first 3 months. Subsequently, iDose TR did not demonstrate non-inferiority over the next 9 months. Figure-07 Figure-08
