About Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a persistent and often disabling mental illness
impacting how a person thinks, feels and behaves. There are three
symptom domains of schizophrenia, which include positive symptoms
(e.g., hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking and speech),
negative symptoms (e.g., lack of motivation, lack of emotional
expression/flat affect, social withdrawal) and cognitive
dysfunction (e.g., impaired attention, deficits in memory,
concentration and decision-making). The symptoms of schizophrenia
can affect all areas of people’s lives, making it difficult to
maintain employment, live independently and manage relationships.
Schizophrenia affects nearly 24 million people worldwide, including
2.8 million people in the United States, and is one of the top 15
leading causes of disability worldwide.
About COBENFY™ (xanomeline and trospium chloride)
COBENFY™ (xanomeline and trospium chloride), formerly KarXT, is
an oral medication for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults.
COBENFY combines xanomeline, a dual M1- and M4-preferring
muscarinic receptor agonist, with trospium chloride, a muscarinic
receptor antagonist that does not appreciably cross the blood-brain
barrier, primarily confining its effects to peripheral tissues.
While the exact mechanism of action of COBENFY is unknown, its
efficacy is thought to be due to the agonist activity of xanomeline
at M1 and M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the central
nervous system.
INDICATION
COBENFY™ (xanomeline and trospium chloride) is indicated for the
treatment of schizophrenia in adults.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
COBENFY is contraindicated in patients with:
- urinary retention
- moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) or severe (Child-Pugh Class C)
hepatic impairment
- gastric retention
- history of hypersensitivity to COBENFY or trospium chloride.
Angioedema has been reported with COBENFY and trospium
chloride.
- untreated narrow-angle glaucoma
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Risk of Urinary Retention: COBENFY can cause urinary
retention. Geriatric patients and patients with clinically
significant bladder outlet obstruction and incomplete bladder
emptying (e.g., patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH),
diabetic cystopathy) may be at increased risk of urinary
retention.
COBENFY is contraindicated in patients with pre-existing urinary
retention and is not recommended in patients with moderate or
severe renal impairment.
In patients taking COBENFY, monitor for symptoms of urinary
retention, including urinary hesitancy, weak stream, incomplete
bladder emptying, and dysuria. Instruct patients to be aware of the
risk and promptly report symptoms of urinary retention to their
healthcare provider. Urinary retention is a known risk factor for
urinary tract infections. In patients with symptoms of urinary
retention, consider reducing the dose of COBENFY, discontinuing
COBENFY, or referring patients for urologic evaluation as
clinically indicated.
Risk of Use in Patients with Hepatic Impairment: Patients
with hepatic impairment have higher systemic exposures of
xanomeline, a component of COBENFY, compared to patients with
normal hepatic function, which may result in increased incidence of
COBENFY-related adverse reactions.
COBENFY is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe
hepatic impairment. COBENFY is not recommended in patients with
mild hepatic impairment.
Assess liver enzymes prior to initiating COBENFY and as
clinically indicated during treatment.
Risk of Use in Patients with Biliary Disease: In clinical
studies with COBENFY, transient increases in liver enzymes with
rapid decline occurred, consistent with transient biliary
obstruction due to biliary contraction and possible gallstone
passage.
COBENFY is not recommended for patients with active biliary
disease such as symptomatic gallstones. Assess liver enzymes and
bilirubin prior to initiating COBENFY and as clinically indicated
during treatment. The occurrence of symptoms such as dyspepsia,
nausea, vomiting, or upper abdominal pain should prompt assessment
for gallbladder disorders, biliary disorders, and pancreatitis, as
clinically indicated.
Discontinue COBENFY in the presence of signs or symptoms of
substantial liver injury such as jaundice, pruritus, or alanine
aminotransferase levels more than five times the upper limit of
normal or five times baseline values.
Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility: COBENFY contains
trospium chloride. Trospium chloride, like other antimuscarinic
agents, may decrease gastrointestinal motility. Administer COBENFY
with caution in patients with gastrointestinal obstructive
disorders because of the risk of gastric retention. Use COBENFY
with caution in patients with conditions such as ulcerative
colitis, intestinal atony, and myasthenia gravis.
Risk of Angioedema: Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue,
and/or larynx has been reported with COBENFY and trospium chloride,
a component of COBENFY. In one case, angioedema occurred after the
first dose of trospium chloride. Angioedema associated with upper
airway swelling may be life-threatening. If involvement of the
tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, discontinue COBENFY and
initiate appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary to ensure a
patent airway. COBENFY is contraindicated in patients with a
history of hypersensitivity to trospium chloride.
Risk of Use in Patients with Narrow-angle Glaucoma:
Pupillary dilation may occur due to the anticholinergic effects of
COBENFY. This may trigger an acute angle closure attack in patients
with anatomically narrow angles. In patients known to have
anatomically narrow angles, COBENFY should only be used if the
potential benefits outweigh the risks and with careful
monitoring.
Increases in Heart Rate: COBENFY can increase heart rate.
Assess heart rate at baseline and as clinically indicated during
treatment with COBENFY.
Anticholinergic Adverse Reactions in Patients with Renal
Impairment: Trospium chloride, a component of COBENFY, is
substantially excreted by the kidney. COBENFY is not recommended in
patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (estimated
glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min). Systemic exposure
of trospium chloride is higher in patients with moderate and severe
renal impairment. Therefore, anticholinergic adverse reactions
(including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, urinary tract
infection, and urinary retention) are expected to be greater in
patients with moderate and severe renal impairment.
Central Nervous System Effects: Trospium chloride, a
component of COBENFY, is associated with anticholinergic central
nervous system (CNS) effects. A variety of CNS anticholinergic
effects have been reported with trospium chloride, including
dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, and somnolence. Monitor
patients for signs of anticholinergic CNS effects, particularly
after beginning treatment or increasing the dose. Advise patients
not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how COBENFY
affects them. If a patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects,
consider dose reduction or drug discontinuation.
Most Common Adverse Reactions (≥5% and at least twice
placebo): nausea, dyspepsia, constipation, vomiting,
hypertension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, tachycardia, dizziness, and
gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Use in Specific Populations:
- Moderate or Severe Renal Impairment: Not recommended
- Mild Hepatic Impairment: Not recommended
COBENFY (xanomeline and trospium chloride) is available in
50mg/20mg, 100mg/20mg, and 125mg/30mg capsules.
