12.1 Mechanism of Action Febuxostat, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, achieves its therapeutic effect by decreasing serum uric acid. Febuxostat is not expected to inhibit other enzymes involved in purine and pyrimidine synthesis and metabolism at therapeutic concentrations.

Febuxostat is a xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor indicated for the chronic management of hyperuricemia in adult patients with gout who have an inadequate response to a maximally titrated dose of allopurinol, who are intolerant to allopurinol, or for whom treatment with allopurinol is not advisable. Limitations of Use : Febuxostat tablets are not recommended for the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia.

Recommended dosage is 40 mg or 80 mg once daily. The recommended starting dosage is 40 mg once daily. For patients who do not achieve a serum uric acid (sUA) less than 6 mg/dL after 2 weeks, the recommended dosage is 80 mg once daily. ( 2.1 ) Patients with severe renal impairment: Limit the dosage to 40 mg once daily. ( 2.2 , 8.6 ) Flare prophylaxis is recommended upon initiation of febuxostat tablets. ( 2.4 ) Can be administered without regard to food or antacid use. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended febuxostat tablets dosage is 40 mg or 80 mg once daily. The recommended starting dosage of febuxostat tablets is 40 mg once daily. For patients who do not achieve a serum uric acid (sUA) less than 6 mg/dL after two weeks, the recommended febuxostat tablets dosage is 80 mg once daily. Febuxostat tablets can be taken without regard to food or antacid use [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Concurrent prophylactic treatment with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or colchicine is recommended [see (2.4) and (5.2) ]. 2.2 Dosage Recommendations in Patients with Renal Impairment and Hepatic Impairment The recommended dosage of febuxostat tablets is limited to 40 mg once daily in patients with severe renal impairment. No dose modification is necessary when administering febuxostat tablets in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment [see (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . No dosage modification is necessary in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment [see (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.3 Serum Uric Acid Level Monitoring Testing for the target serum uric acid level of less than 6 mg/dL may be performed as early as two weeks after initiating febuxostat tablets therapy. 2.4 Recommended Prophylaxis for Gout Flares Gout flares may occur after initiation of febuxostat tablets due to changing serum uric acid levels resulting in mobilization of urate from tissue deposits. Flare prophylaxis with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or colchicine is recommended upon initiation of febuxostat tablets. Prophylactic therapy may be beneficial for up to six months [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . If a gout flare occurs during febuxostat tablets treatment, febuxostat tablets need not be discontinued. The gout flare should be managed concurrently, as appropriate for the individual patient [see (5.2) ] .

The following serious are described elsewhere in the prescribing information: Cardiovascular Death [see (5.1) ] Hepatic Effects [see (5.3) ] Serious Skin Reactions [see (5.4) ] in ≥ 1% of patients treated with febuxostat are liver function abnormalities, nausea, arthralgia, and rash.

In Phase 2 and 3 clinical studies, a total of 2757 patients with hyperuricemia and gout were treated with febuxostat 40 mg or 80 mg daily. For febuxostat 40 mg, 559 patients were treated for ≥6 months. For febuxostat 80 mg, 1377 patients were treated for ≥6 months, 674 patients were treated for ≥1 year and 515 patients were treated for ≥2 years. In the CARES study, a total of 3098 patients were treated with febuxostat 40 mg or 80 mg daily; of these, 2155 patients were treated for ≥1 year and 1539 were treated for ≥2 years [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . Most Common In three randomized, controlled clinical studies (Studies 1, 2 and 3), which were 6 to 12 months in duration, the following were reported by the treating physician as related to study drug. Table 1 summarizes reported at a rate of at least 1% in febuxostat treatment groups and at least 0.5% greater than placebo. * Of the patients who received allopurinol, 10 received 100 mg, 145 received 200 mg, and 1122 received 300 mg, based on level of renal impairment. Table 1: Occurring in ≥1% of Patients Treated with Febuxostat and at Least 0.5% Greater than in Patients Receiving Placebo in Controlled Studies Placebo Febuxostat allopurinol* (N=134) 40 mg daily (N=757) 80 mg daily (N=1279) (N=1277) Liver Function Abnormalities 0.7% 6.6% 4.6% 4.2% Nausea 0.7% 1.1% 1.3% 0.8% Arthralgia 0% 1.1% 0.7% 0.7% Rash 0.7% 0.5% 1.6% 1.6% The most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation from therapy was liver function abnormalities in 1.8% of febuxostat 40 mg, 1.2% of febuxostat 80 mg, and in 0.9% of patients treated with allopurinol. In addition to the presented in Table 1, dizziness was reported in more than 1% of patients treated with febuxostat although not at a rate more than 0.5% greater than placebo....

Febuxostat tablets are contraindicated in patients being treated with azathioprine or mercaptopurine [see (7) ] . Febuxostat tablets are contraindicated in patients being treated with azathioprine or mercaptopurine. ( 4 )
