    PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

    A handful of historyI love history. And as we celebrate the AADs 75th Anniversary during this 71st Annual Meeting in Miami, its also worth reflectingon the history of our meetings, events that have become the heart and soul of this organization. In point of fact, the program bookyoure reading now and AAD meetings have their own interesting history.

    The very first program book for the Annual Meeting in St. Louis in 1938 was not much larger than a postcard collection. Itcontained a mere six pages for the entire scientific program (and one of those pages was blank, for notes). By the second meetingin Philadelphia, we more than doubled that number. Thats right 13 full pages of scientific program. By the third meeting inChicago, that number jumped to 19, then 25 pages for the 4th meeting.

    By 1954, the scientific program book had grown to 160 pages and was actually called too obese to be a pocket guide any longer.

    Streamlining processes and advances in publishing would eventually improve the book (now available in many handy formats), but ithas never stopped never could stop an ever-expanding growth of dermatology sessions and events.

    As the program grew, so did attendance, increasing steadily with each new meeting. Fifty years ago, in 1962, then president J.Walter Wilson, MD, proclaimed that with 21 meetings under its belt, AAD meetings had officially come of age, and he expressedhis astonishment and pride about the astounding attendance in Chicago no less than 1,550 were present! Dr. Wilson addedthat he believed people were coming to the Academys meetings not because of loyalty or a sense of duty. Rather, he said,members truly like to attend and find themselves aware after each reunion that a full measure of value has been received.True 50 years ago. Just as true today.

    What makes todays program book so thick, rich, and diverse is the commensurate growth of AAD members and meetingattendees, right along with our growth of and thirst for knowledge. Fifty years ago we thought 1,550 was an astoundingnumber and we were damned proud of it. The last time we visited Miami our attendance-breaking number was more than19,000. As president of this organization at this time, I couldnt be prouder of how much weve grown.

    Whatever the attendance numbers are for the 71st Annual Meeting in Miami, they will be spectacular numbers, far beyond what thisorganization might have dreamed of back in 1938 in St. Louis. We continue to smash attendance records on a pretty regular basisand in a difficult economy to boot.

    So, as you look through these pages, remember there were once only six pages of dermatology scientific sessions in the programbook, amounting to little more than a dozen individual sessions. Now there are more than 200 pages, with over 375 sessions to choosefrom an extraordinary compendium of progress.

    I would never call this program book obese, but it sure has become meaty. And with its expansive offering of knowledge,both new and passed on, its yet another document of dermatology history in the making, whether you view it on paper oryour favorite digital device!

    Sincerely,

    Daniel M. Siegel, MD, FAADPresident, American Academy of Dermatology

    CHAIRS MESSAGE

    Continuing medical education. CME. Its one of those phrases that is so commonly used that it starts to lose its full meaning.

    But there is real meaning in CME. Obviously medical education is something dermatologists need and desire, but theprefacing word continuing suggests something ongoing. One definition of continue is to persist in an activity orprocess. I like that definition because it contains the word persist, suggesting that we cannot allow ourselves to letup; we must be dogged in our pursuit of education. Wherever you are at in your medical education, whether you are inresidency or in a private or group practice you will always be continuing your dermatology education, because theknowledge base changes from year to year, and perhaps even more rapidly than that.

    There is no better place to continue to soak in the vast amount of information currently available than through theAADs 71stAnnual Meeting in Miami Beach. Its an amazing area, rich with diversity, culture, and architecture, and set within

    a geographical location that can often resemble a tropical paradise. On top of all that, we have strong program and Improud to be chair for such an exciting and diverse event.

    This years Plenary boasts a highly-anticipated group of lectures featuring some of the pre-eminent names in dermatology and willfeature updates on the epidemiology and biology/treatment of melanoma fast moving areas in our specialty.

    Michael E. Bigby, MD, is presenting the Clarence S. Livingood, MD, Lectureship, and Im looking forward to his talk, Tamingthe Dragon, wherein he will discuss the true meaning and purpose of evidence-based medicine.It is fitting that one metaphor leads to another as Hensin Tsao, MD, PhD, presents the 2013 Marion B. Sulzberger MemorialLectureship, Melanoma and Its Metaphors. Dr. Tsao believes that exploring melanoma in the context of familiarmetaphors reduces the complexity of its natural biology into simple and comprehensible terms.

    The Lila and Murray Gruber Memorial Cancer Research Award and Lectureship will be Public Health Science will CutMelanoma Deaths in Half, to be presented by Harold E. Varmus, MD. Dr. Varmus believes that in the absence of a cure formetastatic disease, efforts should focus on epidemiologic principles to advance the science around melanoma.

    Jouni J. Uitto, MD, PhD, will be presenting the 2012 Eugene J. Van Scott Award for Innovative Therapy of the Skin and PhillipFrost Leadership Lecture on progress in genodermatoses. He will be providing some exciting information about the recentprogress in molecular genetics of heritable skin diseases, resulting in improved diagnosis with prognostic implications.

    I believe the best Plenary sessions include one talk that is somewhat outside the realm of dermatology and serves to amuse,inspire and allow dermatologists to think about science in new ways. This year, Paul Stamets, a mycologist, will give us awhole new and interesting perspective on the world of fungi.

    Stamets is not only a mushroom expert who has authored several books on mycology, but a true visionary who hasdiscovered and coauthored four new species of mushrooms and pioneered countless techniques in the field of edible andmedicinal mushroom cultivation.

    Additionally, youll find within these pages five days of diverse sessions covering all aspects and facets of dermatology.Im pleased to see an increase in the number of MOC sessions offered, as these have been increasingly popular withattendees. Likewise, the Academy is ramping up its offerings of live demonstrations and adding more forums, increasingyour educational opportunities.

    Enjoy your continuing medical education!

    Sincerely,

    Janet A. Fairley, MD, FAADChair, Scientific Assembly Committee

    INDICATIONS AND USAGEACZONEGel, 5%, is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.

    DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONFor topical use only. Not for oral, ophthalmic, or intravaginal use.After the skin is gently washed and patted dry, apply approximately a pea-sized amount ofACZONEGel, 5%, ina thin layer to the acne affected areas twice daily. Rub inACZONEGel, 5%, gently and completely.ACZONEGel,5%, is gritty with visible drug substance particles. Wash hands after application ofACZONEGel, 5%.If there is no improvement after 12 weeks, treatment withACZONEGel, 5%, should be reassessed.

    CONTRAINDICATIONSNone.

    WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    Hematological EffectsOral dapsone treatment has produced dose-related hemolysis and hemolytic anemia. Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are more prone to hemolysis with the use of certain drugs. G6PDdeficiency is most prevalent in populations of African, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean ancestry.

    There was no evidence of clinically relevant hemolysis or anemia in patients treated withACZONEGel,5%, including patients who were G6PD deficient. Some subjects with G6PD deficiency usingACZONEGeldeveloped laboratory changes suggestive of mild hemolysis.If signs and symptoms suggestive of hemolytic anemia occur,ACZONEGel, 5% should be discontinued.ACZONEGel, 5% should not be used in patients who are taking oral dapsone or antimalarial medicationsbecause of the potential for hemolytic reactions. Combination ofACZONEGel, 5%, with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) may increase the likelihood of hemolysis in pat ients with G6PD deficiency.

    Peripheral NeuropathyPeripheral neuropathy (motor loss and muscle weakness) has been reported with oral dapsone treatment. Noevents of peripheral neuropathy were observed in clinical trials with topicalACZONEGel, 5% treatment.

    SkinSkin reactions (toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema multiforme, morbilliform and scarlatiniform reactions, bullous andexfoliative dermatitis, erythema nodosum, and urticaria) have been reported with oral dapsone treatment. These types ofskin reactions were not observed in clinical trials with topical ACZONEGel, 5% treatment.

    ADVERSE REACTIONSClinical Studies ExperienceBecause clinical trials are conducted under prescribed conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in theclinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may notreflect the rates observed in practice.Serious adverse reactions reported in patients treated withACZONEGel, 5%, during clinical trials included butwere not limited to the following: Nervous system/Psychiatric Suicide attempt, tonic clonic movements.

    Gastrointestinal Abdominal pain, severe vomiting, pancreatitis. Other Severe pharyngitisIn the clinical trials, a total of 12 out of 4032 patients were reported to have depression (3 of 1660 treated withvehicle and 9 of 2372 treated withACZONEGel, 5%). Psychosis was reported in 2 of 2372 patients treatedwith ACZONEGel, 5%, and in 0 of 1660 pa tients treated with vehicle.Combined contact sensitization/irritation studies with ACZONEGel, 5%, in 253 healthy subjects resulted inat least 3 subjects with moderate erythema.ACZONEGel, 5%, did not induce phototoxicity or photoallergy inhuman dermal safety studies.ACZONEGel, 5%, was evaluated for 12 weeks in four controlled studies for local cutaneous events in 1819patients. The most common events reported from these studies include oiliness/peeling, dryness, and erythema.One patient treated with ACZONEGel in the clinical trials had facial swelling which led to discontinuation

    of medication.In addition, 486 patients were evaluated in a 12 month safety study. The adverse event profile in this study wasconsistent with that observed in the vehicle-controlled studies.

    Experience with Oral Use of DapsoneAlthough not observed in the clinical trials withACZONEGel (topical dapsone) serious adverse reactions havebeen reported with oral use of dapsone, including agranulocytosis, hemolytic anemia, peripheral neuropathy(motor loss and muscle weakness), and skin reactions (toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema multiforme,morbilliform and scarlatiniform reactions, bullous and exfoliative dermatitis, erythema nodosum, and urticaria).

    DRUG INTERACTIONS

    Trimethoprim-SulfamethoxazoleA drug-drug interaction study evaluated the effect of the use ofACZONEGel, 5%, in combination with doublestrength (160 mg/800 mg) trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX). During co-administration, systemiclevels of TMP and SMX were essentially unchanged. However, levels of dapsone and its metabolites increasedin the presence of TMP/SMX. Systemic exposure (AUC0-12) of dapsone and N-acetyl-dapsone (NAD) wereincreased by about 40% and 20% respectively in the presence of TMP/SMX. Notably, systemic exposure(AUC0-12) of dapsone hydroxylamine (DHA) was more than doubled in the presence of TMP/SMX. Exposurefrom the proposed topical dose is about 1% of that from the 100 mg oral dose, even when co-administeredwith TMP/SMX.

    Topical Benzoyl PeroxideTopical application of ACZONEGel followed by benzoyl peroxide in subjects with acne vulgaris resulted in atemporary local yellow or orange discoloration of the skin and facial hair (reported by 7 out of 95 subjects in aclinical study) with resolution in 4 to 57 days.

    Drug Interactions with Oral DapsoneCertain concomitant medications (such as rifampin, anticonvulsants, St. Johns wort) may increase theformation of dapsone hydroxylamine, a metabolite of dapsone associated with hemolysis. With oral dapsonetreatment, folic acid antagonists such as pyrimethamine have been noted to possibly increase the likelihood ofhematologic reactions.

    USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    Pregnancy

    Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category CThere are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women. Dapsone has been shown to have anembryocidal effect in rats and rabbits when administered orally in doses of 75 mg/kg/day and 150 mg/kg/day(approximately 800 and 500 times the systemic exposure observed in human females a s a result of use of themaximum recommended topical dose, based on AUC comparisons), respectively. These effects were probablysecondary to maternal toxicity.ACZONEGel, 5%, should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefitjustifies the potential risk to the fetus.

    ACZONE(dapsone) Gel 5%

    Nursing MothersAlthough systemic absorption of dapsone following topical application ofACZONEGel, 5%, is minimal relative tooral dapsone administration, it is known that dapsone is excreted in human milk. Because of the potential for oraldapsone to cause adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursingor to discontinue ACZONEGel, 5%, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

    Pediatric Use

    Safety and efficacy was evaluated in 1169 children aged 12-17 years old treated withACZONEGel, 5%, in theclinical studies. The adverse event rate forACZONEGel, 5%, was similar to the vehicle control group. Safetyand efficacy was not studied in pedia tric patients less than 12 years of age, thereforeACZONEGel, 5%, is notrecommended for use in this age group.

    Geriatric UseClinical studies of ACZONEGel, 5%, did not include sufficient number of patients aged 65 and over todetermine whether they respond differently from younger pat ients.

    G6PD DeficiencyACZONEGel, 5% and vehicle were evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over design clinical studyof 64 patients with G6PD deficiency and acne vulgaris. Subjects were Black (88%), Asian (6%), Hispanic (2%)or of other racial origin (5%). Blood samples were taken at Baseline, Week 2, and Week 12 during both vehicleand ACZONEGel, 5% treatment periods. There were 56 out o f 64 subjects who had a Week 2 blood drawand applied at least 50% of treatment applications.ACZONEGel was associated with a 0.32 g/dL drop inhemoglobin after two weeks of treatment, but hemoglobin levels generally returned to baseline levels at Week 12.There were no changes from baseline in haptoglobin or lactate dehydrogenase duringACZONEor vehicletreatment at either the 2-week or 12-week time point.The proportion of subjects who experienced decreases in hemoglobin1 g/dL was similar between ACZONEGel, 5% and vehicle treatment (8 of 58 subjects had such decreases duringACZONEtreatment comparedto 7 of 56 subjects during vehicle treatment a mong subjects with at least one on-treatment hemoglobinassessment). Subgroups based on gender, race, or G6PD enzyme activity did not display any differences inlaboratory results from the overall study group. There was no evidence of clinically significant hemolytic anemiain this study. Some of these subjects developed laboratory changes suggestive of mild hemolysis.

    OVERDOSAGEACZONEGel, 5%, is not for oral use. If oral ingestion occurs, medical advice should be sought.

    HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLINGACZONE(dapsone) Gel, 5%, is supplied in the following size t ubes: Professional Sample: 3 gram laminate tube (3). Commercially: 30 and 60 gram laminate tubes (3).

    FACULTY DISCLOSURE OF RELEVANT FINANCIALRELATIONSHIP(S)

    It is the policy of AAD that all faculty participating in a CME-certified activity are required to disclose to AAD and to learnersrelevant financial relationships that they or their first-degreerelative (spouse, parent, sibling, or child) have with any commercialinterests. Relevant financial relationships1include financialrelationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 monthsthat create a conflict of interest2. Typically, such relationshipswould be with companies that sell health care products or servicesthat are consumed by or used in the treatment of patients. Theintent of this disclosure is not to prevent participation in CME-certified educational activities by individuals with a relevantfinancial relationship with commercial interest(s), but rather toprovide learners with information on which they can make theirown determination whether or not said relationship(s) influencedthe content of the educational activity.

    Session Director and faculty disclosure information is located withinthe Onsite Program Book after the scientific schedule. Faculty havebeen asked to also make a verbal disclosure at the start of theirpresentations supplemented by a disclosure slide in order to verifythe accuracy of the disclosure information printed in the OnsiteProgram Book and ensure their disclosure information is shared withthe learners PRIOR to the presentation taking place.

    RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS OF INTERESTIn accordance with the ACCME Standards for Commercial Supportof CME, the American Academy of Dermatology has implementedmechanisms, prior to the planning and implementation of thisCME activity, to identify and mitigate conflicts of interest for allindividuals in a position to control the content of this CME activity.

    CONTENT VALIDATIONAcademy-sponsored educational activities are designed topromote improvements or quality in health care and not promotea specific proprietary business interest or a commercial interest.Presentations and related materials must be based on scientificmethods generally accepted by the medical community.

    Presentations should be evidence-based and discuss the validityof the evidence upon which they base the opinion(s). (See Sackettet al, BMJ 1996;312:71-2.) This ensures the audience that therecommendations are supported by the evidence and contributesto management of any potential conflicts of interest. Further, if thepresentation includes discussion of unlabeled or investigationaluse of a commercial product, this also must be disclosed to theparticipants. CME must give a balanced view of therapeuticoptions. Use of generic names will contribute to this impartiality.

    If CME educational material or content includes trade names, tradenames from several companies should be used where available,as opposed to using trade names from just a single company.Educational materials such as slides, abstracts, and handoutscannot contain any advertising or product-group messages.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONSERIOUS INFECTIONSPatients treated with Enbrel (etanercept) are at increased risk for developing seriousinfections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Most patients who developed theseinfections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate orcorticosteroids or were predisposed to infection because of their underlying disease. ENBRELshould not be initiated in the presence of sepsis, active infections, or allergy to ENBREL orits components. ENBREL should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infectionor sepsis. Reported infections include: 1) Active tuberculosis (TB), including reactivation of

    latent TB. Patients with TB have frequently presented with disseminated or extrapulmonarydisease. Patients should be tested for latent TB before ENBREL use and periodically duringtherapy. Treatment for latent infection should be initiated prior to ENBREL use, 2) Invasivefungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergill osis,blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. Patients with histoplasmosis or other invasive fungalinfections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease. Antigen andantibody testing for histoplasmosis may be negative in some patient s with activeinfection. Empiric antifungal therapy should be considered in patients at risk for invasivefungal infections who develop severe systemic illness, and 3) Bacterial, viral, and otherinfections due to opportunistic pathogens, including Legionella and Listeria.

    The risks and benefits of treatment with ENBREL should be carefully considered prior toinitiating therapy in patients 1) with chronic or recurrent infecti on, 2) who have beenexposed to TB, 3) who have resided or traveled in ar eas of endemic TB or endemic mycoses,or 4) with underlying conditions that may predispose them to infections such as advancedor poorly controlled diabetes. Patients should be closely monitored for the development

    of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with ENBREL, includingthe possible development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB prior toinitiating therapy.

    MALIGNANCIESLymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children andadolescent patients treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker s, including ENBREL.

    In adult clinical trials of all TNF blockers, more cases of lymphoma were seen compared to controlpatients. The risk of lymphoma may be up to several-fold higher in RA and psoriasis patients. Therole of TNF blocker therapy in the development of malignancies is unknown.

    Cases of acute and chronic leukemia have been reported in association with postmarketing TNFblocker use in RA and other indications. The risk of leukemia may be higher in patients with RA(approximately 2-fold) than the general population.

    Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) have been reported in patients treated with

    TNF blockers, including ENBREL. Periodic skin examinations should be considered for all patientsat increased risk for sk in cancer.

    Pediatric PatientsIn patients who initiated therapy at 18 years of age, approximately half of the reportedmalignancies were lymphomas (Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma). Other cases includedrare malignancies usually associated with immunosuppression and malignancies that are notusually observed in children and adolescents. Most of the patients were receiving concomitantimmunosuppressants.

    NEUROLOGIC EVENTSTreatment with TNF-blocking agents, including ENBREL, has been associated with rare(< 0.1%) cases of new onset or exacerbation o f central nervous sys tem demyelinating disorders,some presenting with mental status changes and some associated with permanent disability,and with peripheral nervous system demyelinating disorders. Cases of transverse myelitis,optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barr syndromes, ot her peripheral demyelinatingneuropathies, and new onset or exacerbation of seizure disorders have been reported inpostmarketing experience with ENBREL therapy. Prescribers should exercise caution inconsidering the use of ENBREL in patients with preexisting or recent-onset central or peripheralnervous system demyelinating disorders.

    CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURECases of worsening congestive heart failure (CHF) and, rarely, new-onset cases have beenreported in patients taking ENBREL. Caution should be used when using ENBREL in patientswith CHF. These patients should be carefully monitored.

    HEMATOLOGIC EVENTSRare cases of pancytopenia, including aplastic anemia, some fatal, have been reported. The causarelationship to ENBREL therapy remains unclear. Exercise caution when considering ENBREL inpatients who have a previous history of significant hematologic abnormalities. Advise patientsto seek immediate medical at tention if they develop signs or symptoms of blood dyscrasias orinfection. Consider discontinuing ENBREL if significant hematologic abnormalities are conf irmed.

    HEPATITIS B VIRUS REACTIVATIONUse of TNF blockers, including ENBREL, has been associated with reactivation of hepatitis Bvirus (HBV) in chronic carriers of this virus. The majority of these report s occurred in patientson concomitant immunosuppressive agents, which may also contribute to HBV reactivation.Exercise caution when considering ENBREL in patients identified as carriers of HBV.

    ALLERGIC REACTIONSAllergic reactions have been reported in < 2% of patients in clinical trials of ENBREL.

    IMMUNIZATIONSLive vaccines should not be administered to patients on ENBREL. JIA patients, if possible, shouldbe brought up to date with all immunizations prior to initiating ENBREL. In patients with exposureto varicella virus, consider temporary discontinuation of E NBREL and prophylactic treatment withVaricella Zoster Immune Globulin.

    AUTOIMMUNITYAutoantibodies may develop with ENBREL, and rarely lupus-like syndrome or autoimmunehepatitis may occur. These may resolve upon withdrawal of ENBREL. Stop ENBREL if lupus-likesyndrome or autoimmune hepatitis develops.

    WEGENERS GRANULOMATOSIS PATIENTSThe use of ENBREL in patients with Wegeners granulomatosis receiving immunosuppressiveagents (e.g., cyclophosphamide) is not recommended.

    MODERATE TO SEVERE ALCOHOLIC HEPATITISBased on a s tudy of patients treated for alcoholic hepatitis, exercise caution when using ENBRELin patients with moderate to severe alcoholic hepatitis.

    ADVERSE EVENTSThe most commonly reported adverse events in RA clinical trials were injection site reaction,infection, and headache. In clinical trials of all other adult indications, adverse events were

    similar to those reported in RA clinical trials.

    DRUG INTERACTIONSThe use of ENBREL in patients receiving concurrent cyclophosphamide therapy is not recommended.The risk of serious infection may increase with concomitant use of abatacept therapy. Concurrenttherapy with ENBREL and anakinra is not recommended. Hypoglycemia has been reportedfollowing initiation of ENBREL therapy in patients receiving medication for diabetes, necessitatina reduction in anti-diabetic medication in some of these patients.

    Enbrel(etanercept) Brief Summary

    SEE PACKAGE INSERT FOR FU LL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

    WARNINGSSERIOUS INFECTIONS AND MALIGNANCIES

    Patients treated with Enbrel are at increased risk for developing seriousinfections that may lead to hospitalization or death [see Warnings andPrecautions and Adverse Reactions]. Most patients who developed theseinfections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such asmethotrexate or corticosteroids.

    Enbrel should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infectionor sepsis.

    Reported infections include:

    Active tubercul osis, includi ng reactivati on of latent tubercul osis. Patien ts

    with tuberculosis have frequently presented with disseminated orextrapulmonary disease. Patients should be tested for latent tuberculosisbefore Enbrel use and during therapy. Treatment for latent infectionshould be initiated prior to Enbrel use.

    Invasive fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis,candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. Patientswith histoplasmosis or other invasive fungal infections may present withdisseminated, rather than localized, disease. Antigen and antibodytesting for histoplasmosis may be negative in some patients with activeinfection. Empiric anti-fungal therapy should be considered in patients atrisk for invasive fungal infections who develop severe systemic illness.

    Bacterial, viral, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens,including Legionella and Listeria.

    The risks and benefits of treatment with Enbrel should be carefullyconsidered prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrentinfection.

    Patients should be closely monitored for the development of signs andsymptoms of infection during and after treatment with Enbrel, includingthe possible development of tuberculosis in patients who tested negativefor latent tuberculosis infection prior to initiating therapy.

    MALIGNANCIES

    Lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported

    in children and adolescent patients treated with TNF blockers,including Enbrel.

    INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Enbrel is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, inducing major clinicalresponse, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improvingphysical function in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoidarthritis (RA). Enbrel can be initiated in combination with methotrexate (MTX)or used alone.

    Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

    Enbrel is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to severelyactive polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in patients ages 2and older.

    Psoriatic Arthritis

    Enbrel is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, inhibiting theprogression of structural damage of active arthritis, and improving physicalfunction in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Enbrel can be used incombination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients who do not respondadequately to MTX alone.

    Ankylosing Spondylitis

    Enbrel is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms in patients with active

    ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

    Plaque Psoriasis

    Enbrel is indicated for the treatment of adult patients (18 years or older) withchronic moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) who are candidates forsystemic therapy or phototherapy.

    CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Enbrel should not be administered to patients with sepsis.

    WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    Serious Infections

    Patients treated with Enbrel are at increased risk for developing seriousinfections involving various organ systems and sites that may lead tohospitalization or death.

    Opportunistic infections due to bacterial, mycobacterial, invasive fungal, viral,parasitic, or other opportunistic pathogens including aspergillosis,blastomycosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, legionellosis,listeriosis, pneumocystosis, and tuberculosis have been reported with TNFblockers. Patients have frequently presented with disseminated rather thanlocalized disease.

    Treatment with Enbrel should not be initiated in patients with an activeinfection, including clinically important localized infections. Patients greaterthan 65 years of age, patients with co-morbid conditions, and/or patientstaking concomitant immunosuppressants (such as corticosteroids or

    methotrexate), may be at greater risk of infection. The risks and benefits oftreatment should be considered prior to initiating therapy in patients: withchronic or recurrent infection; who have been exposed to tuberculosis; with ahistory of an opportunistic infection; who have resided or traveled in areas ofendemic tuberculosis or endemic mycoses, such as histoplasmosis,coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis; or with underlying conditions that maypredispose them to infection, such as advanced or poorly controlled diabetes[see Adverse Reactions].

    Patients should be closely monitored for the development of signs andsymptoms of infection during and after treatment with Enbrel.

    Enbrel should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infection orsepsis. A patient who develops a new infection during treatment with Enbrelshould be closely monitored, undergo a prompt and complete diagnosticworkup appropriate for an immunocompromised patient, and appropriateantimicrobial therapy should be initiated.

    Tuberculosis

    Cases of reactivation of tuberculosis or new tuberculosis infections have beenobserved in patients receiving Enbrel, including patients who have previouslyreceived treatment for latent or active tuberculosis. Data from clinical trialsand preclinical studies suggest that the risk of reactivation of latenttuberculosis infection is lower with Enbrel than with T NF-blocking monoclonalantibodies. Nonetheless, postmarketing cases of tuberculosis reactivationhave been reported for TNF blockers, including Enbrel. Tuberculosis has

    developed in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis prior toinitiation of therapy. Patients should be evaluated for tuberculosis risk factorsand tested for latent infection prior to initiating Enbrel and periodically duringtherapy. Tests for latent tuberculosis infection may be falsely negative whileon therapy with Enbrel.

    Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection prior to therapy with T NF-blockingagents has been shown to reduce the risk of tuberculosis reactivation duringtherapy. Induration of 5 mm or greater with tuberculin skin testing should beconsidered a positive test result when assessing if treatment for latenttuberculosis is needed prior to initiating Enbrel, even for patients previouslyvaccinated with Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG).

    Anti-tub erculos is therap y should also be conside red prior to initiat ion ofEnbrel in patients with a past history of latent or active tuberculosis in whoman adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with anegative test for latent tuberculosis but having risk factors for tuberculosisinfection. Consultation with a physician with expertise in the treatment oftuberculosis is recommended to aid in the decision whether initiating anti-

    tuberculosis therapy is appropriate for an individual patient.

    Tuberculosis should be strongly considered in patients who develop a newinfection during Enbrel treatment, especially in patients who have previouslyor recently traveled to countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis, or whohave had close contact with a person with active tuberculosis.

    Invasive Fungal Infections

    Cases of serious and sometimes fatal fungal infections, includinghistoplasmosis, have been reported with TNF blockers, including Enbrel. Forpatients who reside or travel in regions where mycoses are endemic, invasivefungal infection should be suspected if they develop a serious systemicillness. Appropriate empiric antifungal therapy should be considered while adiagnostic workup is being performed. Antigen and antibody testing forhistoplasmosis may be negative in some patients with active infection. Whenfeasible, the decision to administer empiric antifungal therapy in thesepatients should be made in consultation with a physician with expertise in thediagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infections and should take intoaccount both the risk for severe fungal infection and the risks of antifungaltherapy. In 38 Enbrel clinical trials and 4 cohort studies in all approvedindications representing 27,169 patient-years of exposure (17,696 patients)from the United States and Canada, no histoplasmosis infections werereported among patients treated with Enbrel.

    Neurologic Events

    Treatment with TNF-blocking agents, including Enbrel, has been associatedwith rare (

  • 5/19/2018 guideline

    23/224

    immunosuppressive agents is not recommended. In a study of patients withWegeners granulomatosis, the addition of Enbrel to st andard therapy (includingcyclophosphamide) was associated with a higher incidence of non cutaneoussolid malignancies and was not associated with improved clinical outcomeswhen compared with standard therapy alone [see Drug Interactions].

    Use with Anakinra or Abatacept

    Use of Enbrel with anakinra or abatacept is not recommended [seeDrug Interactions].

    Use in Patients with Moderate to Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis

    In a study of 48 hospitalized patients treated with Enbrel or placebo formoderate to severe alcoholic hepatitis, the mortality rate in patients treatedwith Enbrel was similar to patients treated with placebo at 1 month butsignificantly higher after 6 months. Physicians should use caution when usingEnbrel in patients with moderate to severe alcoholic hepatitis.

    ADVERSE REACTIONS

    Across clinical studies and postmarketi ng experience, the most seriousadverse reactions with Enbrel were infections, neurologic events, CHF, andhematologic events [see Warnings and Precautions]. The most commonadverse reactions with Enbrel were infections and injection site reactions.

    Clinical Studies Experience

    Adverse Reactions in Adult Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis, PsoriaticArthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, or Plaque Psoriasis

    The data described below reflect exposure to Enbrel in 2219 adult patientswith RA followed for up to 80 months, in 182 patients with PsA for up to 24months, in 138 patients with AS for up to 6 months, and in 1204 adult patientswith PsO for up to 18 months.

    In controlled trials, the proportion of Enbrel-treated patients who discontinuedtreatment due to adverse events was approximately 4% in the indications studied.

    Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions,adverse reactions rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot bedirectly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may notpredict the rates observed in clinical practice.

    Infections

    Infections, including viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, have beenobserved in adult and pediatric pati ents. Infect ions have been noted in all bodysystems and have been reported in patients receiving Enbrel alone or incombination with other immunosuppressive agents.

    In controlled portions of trials, the types and severity of infection were similar

    between Enbrel and the respective control group (placebo or MTX for RA andPsA patients) in RA, PsA, AS and PsO patients. Rates of infections in RAand PsO patients are provided in Table 3 and Table 4, respectively.Infections consisted primarily of upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitisand influenza.

    In controlled portions of trials in RA, PsA, AS and PsO, the rates of seriousinfection were similar (0.8% in placebo, 3.6% in MTX, and 1.4% in Enbrel/Enbrel + MTX-treated groups). In clinical trials in rheumatologic indications,serious infections experienced by patients have included, but are not limitedto, pneumonia, cellulitis, septic arthritis, bronchitis, gastroenteritis,pyelonephritis, sepsis, abscess and osteomyelitis. In clinical trials in PsO,serious infections experienced by patients have included, but are not limitedto, pneumonia, cellulitis, gastroenteritis, abscess and osteomyelitis. The rateof serious infections was not increased in open-label extension trials and wassimilar to that observed in Enbrel- and placebo-treated patients fromcontrolled trials.

    In 66 global clinical trials of 17,505 patients (21,015 patient-years of therapy),tuberculosis was observed in approximately 0.02% of patients. In 17,696patients (27,169 patient-years of therapy) from 38 clinical trials and 4 cohortstudies in the US and Canada, tuberculosis was observed in approximately0.006% of patients. These studies include reports of pulmonary andextrapulmonary tuberculosis [see Warnings and Precautions].

    Injection Site Reactions

    In placebo-controlled trials in rheumatologic indications, approximately 37%of patients treated with Enbrel developed injection site reactions. In controlledtrials in patients with PsO, 15% of patients treated with Enbrel developedinjection site reactions during the first 3 months of treatment. All injection sitereactions were described as mild to moderate (erythema, itching, pain,swelling, bleeding, bruising) and generally did not necessitate drugdiscontinuation. Injection site reactions generally occurred in the first monthand subsequently decreased in frequency. The mean duration of injection sitereactions was 3 to 5 days. Seven percent of patients experienced redness ata previous injection site when subsequent injections were given.

    Immunogenicity

    Patients with RA, PsA, AS or PsO were tested at multiple time points forantibodies to etanercept. Antibodies to the TNF receptor portion or otherprotein components of the Enbrel drug product were detected at least once insera of approximately 6% of adult patients with RA, PsA, AS or PsO. Theseantibodies were all non-neutralizing. Results from JIA patients were similar tothose seen in adult RA patients treated with Enbrel.

    In PsO studies that evaluated the exposure of etanercept for up to 120 weeks,the percentage of patients testing positive at the assessed time points of 24,48, 72 and 96 weeks ranged from 3.6%8.7% and were all non-neutralizing.The percentage of patients testing positive increased with an increase in theduration of study; however, the clinical significance of this finding is unknown.No apparent correlation of antibody development to clinical response oradverse events was observed. The immunogenicity data of Enbrel beyond 120weeks of exposure are unknown.

    The data reflect the percentage of patients whose test results wereconsidered positive for antibodies to etanercept in an ELISA assay, and arehighly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally,the observed incidence of any antibody positivity in an assay is highlydependent on several factors, including assay sensitivity and specificity,assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection,concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons,comparison of the incidence of antibodies to etanercept with the incidence ofantibodies to other products may be misleading.

    Autoantibodies

    Patients with RA had serum samples tested for autoantibodies at multipletime points. In RA Studies I and II, the percentage of patients evaluated forantinuclear antibodies (ANA) who developed new positive ANA (titer 1:40)was higher in patients treated with Enbrel (11%) than in placebo-treatedpatients (5%). The percentage of patients who developed new positive anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies was also higher by radioimmunoassay (15%of patients treated with Enbrel compared to 4% of placebo-treated patients)and by Crithidia luciliaeassay (3% of patients treated with Enbrel compared tonone of placebo-treated patients). The proportion of patients treated withEnbrel who developed anticardiolipin antibodies was similarly increased

    compared to placebo-treated patients. In RA Study III, no pattern of increasedautoantibody development was seen in Enbrel patients compared to MTXpatients [see Warnings and Precautions].

    Other Adverse Reactions

    Table 3 summarizes adverse reactions reported in adult RA patients. Thetypes of adverse reactions seen in patients with PsA or AS were similar to thetypes of adverse reactions seen in patients with RA.
