For Parkinson's disease patients with motor complications,1,2 GOCOVRI® COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GETTING UP AND GETTING OUT

GOCOVRI® is ready when your Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with dyskinesia or OFF episodes need it.1,2 With a single bedtime dose, high levels of GOCOVRI® are reached by morning before the fi rst levodopa dose, providing all-day coverage with levels slowly decreasing in the hours before bedtime.2

In clinical trials, GOCOVRI® reduced PD dyskinesia (primary endpoint) and OFF time and increased GOOD ON time (secondary endpoints).1*

GOCOVRI® is now FDA approved to also treat OFF episodes in patients taking levodopa1

* As seen in pooled results of 2 independently positive, pivotal, Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials (Study 1 and Study 2) in PD patients on levodopa. Study 1, a 24-week study, was conducted in 121 PD patients with dyskinesia (GOCOVRI® [n = 63], placebo [n = 58]). Study 2, a 12-week study, was conducted in 75 PD patients with dyskinesia (GOCOVRI® [n = 37], placebo [n = 38]).1,3 † In Study 1, GOCOVRI® reduced the UDysRS total score by 15.9 points (vs 8.0 with placebo) (P = 0.0009), decreased OFF time by 0.6 hours (vs an increase of 0.3 hours with placebo) (P = 0.0171), and increased GOOD ON time by 3.6 hours (vs 0.8 hours with placebo) (P < 0.0001) from baseline. In Study 2, GOCOVRI® reduced the UDysRS total score by 20.7 points (vs 6.3 with placebo) (P < 0.0001), decreased OFF time by 0.5 hours (vs an increase of 0.6 hours with placebo) (P = 0.0199), and increased GOOD ON time by 4.0 hours (vs 2.1 hours with placebo) (P = 0.0168) from baseline.1

INDICATION GOCOVRI® (amantadine) extended release capsules is indicated: • For the treatment of dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson’s disease receiving levodopa-based therapy, with or without concomitant dopaminergic medications • As adjunctive treatment to levodopa/carbidopa in patients with

Parkinson’s disease experiencing “off” episodes It is not known if GOCOVRI is safe and effective in children. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS GOCOVRI is contraindicated in patients with creatinine clearance below 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 . WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Falling Asleep During Activities of Daily Living and Somnolence: Patients treated with Parkinson’s disease medications have reported falling asleep during activities of daily living. If a patient develops daytime sleepiness during activities that require full attention (e.g., driving a motor vehicle, conversations, eating), GOCOVRI should ordinarily be discontinued or the patient should be advised to avoid potentially dangerous activities. Suicidality and Depression: Monitor patients for depression, including suicidal ideation or behavior. Prescribers should consider whether the benefi ts outweigh the risks of treatment with GOCOVRI in patients with a history of suicidality or depression. Hallucinations/Psychotic Behavior: Patients with a major psychotic disorder should ordinarily not be treated with GOCOVRI because of the risk of exacerbating psychosis. Observe patients for the occurrence of hallucinations throughout treatment, especially at initiation and after dose increases. Dizziness and Orthostatic Hypotension: Monitor patients for dizziness and orthostatic hypotension, especially after starting GOCOVRI or increasing the dose. Withdrawal-Emergent Hyperpyrexia and Confusion: Rapid dose reduction or abrupt discontinuation of GOCOVRI, may cause an increase in the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease or cause delirium, agitation, delusions, hallucinations, paranoid reaction, stupor, anxiety, depression, or slurred speech. Avoid sudden discontinuation of GOCOVRI. Impulse Control/Compulsive Behaviors: Patients may experience urges (e.g. gambling, sexual, money spending, binge eating) and the inability to control them. It is important for prescribers to ask patients or their caregivers about the development of new or increased urges. Consider dose reduction or stopping medications. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (>10%) were hallucination, dizziness, dry mouth, peripheral edema, constipation, fall, and orthostatic hypotension.

GOCOVRI® (amantadine) extended release capsules Brief Summary of full Prescribing Information. See full Prescribing Information. Rx Only. INDICATIONS AND USAGE: GOCOVRI® (amantadine) extended release capsules is indicated: • For the treatment of dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson’s disease receiving levodopa-based therapy, with or without concomitant dopaminergic medications • As adjunctive treatment to levodopa/carbidopa in patients with Parkinson’s disease experiencing “off” episodes CONTRAINDICATIONS: Contraindicated in patients with creatinine clearance below 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: Falling Asleep During Activities of Daily Living and Somnolence: Patients treated with Parkinson’s disease medications have reported falling asleep while engaged in activities of daily living, including the operation of motor vehicles, which sometimes has resulted in accidents. Patients may not perceive warning signs, such as excessive drowsiness, or they may report feeling alert immediately prior to the event. In controlled clinical trials, somnolence and fatigue were reported in 4% vs 1% of patients treated with GOCOVRI or placebo, respectively. Before initiating treatment with GOCOVRI, advise patients of the potential to develop drowsiness and specifically ask about factors that may increase the risk for somnolence with GOCOVRI, such as concomitant sedating medications or the presence of a sleep disorder. If a patient develops daytime sleepiness or episodes of falling asleep during activities that require full attention (eg, driving a motor vehicle, conversations, eating), GOCOVRI should ordinarily be discontinued. If a decision is made to continue GOCOVRI, patients should be advised not to drive and to avoid other potentially dangerous activities. There is insufficient information to establish whether dose reduction will eliminate episodes of falling asleep while engaged in activities of daily living or daytime somnolence. Suicidality and Depression: In controlled clinical trials, suicidal ideation or suicide attempt was reported in 2% vs 0%; depression or depressed mood 6% vs 1%; confusional state 3% vs 2%; apathy 2% vs 0%, of patients treated with GOCOVRI or placebo, respectively. Monitor patients for depression, including suicidal ideation or behavior. Prescribers should consider whether the benefits outweigh the risks of treatment with GOCOVRI in patients with a history of suicidality or depression. Hallucinations/Psychotic Behavior: Patients with a major psychotic disorder should ordinarily not be treated with GOCOVRI because of the risk of exacerbating psychosis. In controlled trials, the incidence of patients who experienced visual hallucination, auditory hallucination, delusions, illusions, or paranoia was 25% vs 3%; hallucinations caused discontinuation of treatment in 8% vs 0%; of patients treated with GOCOVRI or placebo, respectively. Observe patients for the occurrence of hallucinations throughout treatment, especially at initiation and after dose increases. Dizziness and Orthostatic Hypotension: In controlled clinical trials, 29% vs 2% experienced dizziness, syncope, orthostatic hypotension, presyncope, postural dizziness or hypotension; and 3% vs 0% discontinued study treatment because of dizziness, postural dizziness, or syncope; of patients receiving GOCOVRI or placebo, respectively. Monitor patients for dizziness and orthostatic hypotension, especially after starting GOCOVRI or increasing the dose. Concomitant use of alcohol with GOCOVRI is not recommended. Withdrawal-Emergent Hyperpyrexia and Confusion: A symptom complex resembling neuroleptic malignant syndrome (characterized by elevated temperature, muscular rigidity, altered consciousness, and autonomic instability), with no other obvious etiology, has been reported in association with rapid dose reduction, withdrawal of, or changes in drugs that increase central dopaminergic tone. Abrupt discontinuation of GOCOVRI may cause an increase in the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease or cause delirium, agitation, delusions, hallucinations, paranoid reaction, stupor, anxiety, depression, or slurred speech. If possible, avoid sudden discontinuation of GOCOVRI. Impulse Control/Compulsive Behaviors: Patients can experience intense urges to gamble, increased sexual urges, intense urges to spend money, binge eating, and/or other intense urges, and the inability to control these urges while taking one or more of the medications, including GOCOVRI, that increase central dopaminergic tone. In some cases, these urges were reported to have stopped when the dose was reduced or the medication was discontinued. Because patients may not recognize these behaviors as abnormal, it is important for prescribers to specifically ask patients or their caregivers about the development of such urges, and to consider dose reduction or stopping GOCOVRI treatment. ADVERSE REACTIONS: Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. GOCOVRI was evaluated in 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy trials of similar design and population: Study 1 (123 patients) and Study 2 (75 patients). The study population was approximately 56% male and 94% white, with a mean age of 65 years (age range from 34 years to 82 years). The mean duration of levodopa-induced dyskinesia was 4 years (range 0.1 to 14 years). Active treatment started at 137 mg once daily for 1 week, followed by a dose increase to 274 mg once daily. The treatment duration was 25 weeks for Study 1 and 13 weeks for Study 2. Study 1 was stopped prematurely unrelated to safety, with 39/100 patients (safety population) treated with GOCOVRI for 24 weeks. The most common adverse reactions reported in >10% of GOCOVRI-treated patients and more frequently than on placebo were: hallucination, dizziness, dry mouth, peripheral edema, constipation, falls, and orthostatic hypotension. The overall rate of discontinuation because of adverse reactions was 20% vs 8% for patients treated with GOCOVRI or placebo, respectively. Adverse reactions that led to treatment discontinuation in at least 2% of patients were hallucination (8% GOCOVRI vs 0% placebo), dry mouth (3% GOCOVRI vs 0% placebo), peripheral edema (3% GOCOVRI vs 0% placebo), blurred vision (3% GOCOVRI vs 0% placebo), postural dizziness and syncope (2% GOCOVRI vs 0% placebo), abnormal dreams (2% GOCOVRI vs 1% placebo), dysphagia (2% GOCOVRI vs 0% placebo), and gait disturbance (2% GOCOVRI vs 0% placebo). Pooled Analysis of Adverse Reactions Reported for ≥3% of Patients Treated With GOCOVRI 274 mg (n=100) or placebo (n=98), respectively: Psychiatric disorders: visual and/or auditory hallucination (21%, 3%); anxiety and/or generalized anxiety (7%, 3%); insomnia (7%, 2%); depression/depressed mood (6%, 1%); abnormal dreams (4%, 2%); confusional state (3%, 2%) Nervous system disorders: dizziness (16%, 1%); headache (6%, 4%); dystonia (3%, 1%) Gastrointestinal disorders: dry mouth (16%, 1%); constipation (13%, 3%); nausea (8%, 3%); vomiting (3%, 0%) General disorders and administration-site conditions: peripheral edema (16%, 1%); gait disturbance (3%, 0%) Injury, poisoning, and procedural complications: fall (13%, 7%); contusion (6%, 1%) Infections and infestations: urinary tract infection (10%, 5%) Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: livedo reticularis (6%, 0%); pigmentation disorder (3%, 0%) Metabolism and nutrition disorders: decreased appetite (6%, 1%) Vascular disorders: orthostatic hypotension, including postural dizziness, syncope, presyncope, and hypotension (13%, 1%) Eye disorders: blurred vision (4%, 1%); cataract (3%, 1%); dry eye (3%, 0%) Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: joint swelling (3%, 0%), muscle spasm (3%, 0%) Reproductive system and breast disorders: benign prostatic hyperplasia—all male (6%, 2%) Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders: cough (3%, 0%). Other clinically relevant adverse reactions observed at <3% included somnolence, fatigue, suicide ideation or attempt, apathy, delusions, illusions, and paranoia. Difference in the Frequency of Adverse Reactions by Gender in Patients Treated With GOCOVRI Adverse reactions reported more frequently in women (n=46) vs men (n=54) were: dry mouth (22% vs 11%), nausea (13% vs 4%), livedo reticularis (13% vs 0%), abnormal dreams (9% vs 0%), and cataracts (7% vs 0%), respectively. Men vs women reported the following adverse reactions more frequently: dizziness (20% vs 11%), peripheral edema (19% vs 11%), anxiety (11% vs 2%), orthostatic hypotension (7% vs 2%), and gait disturbance (6% vs 0%), respectively. Difference in the Frequency of Adverse Reactions by Age in Patients Treated With GOCOVRI Hallucinations (visual or auditory) were reported in 31% of patients age 65 years and over (n=52) vs 10 % in patients below the age of 65 years (n=48). Falls were reported in 17% of patients age 65 and over vs 8% of patients below age 65. Orthostatic hypotension was reported in 8% of patients age 65 and over compared with 2% of patients below age 65. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Other Anticholinergic Drugs: Products with anticholinergic properties may potentiate the anticholinergic-like side effects of amantadine. The dose of anticholinergic drugs or of GOCOVRI should be reduced if atropine-like effects appear when these drugs are used concurrently. Drugs Affecting Urinary pH: The pH of the urine has been reported to influence the excretion rate of amantadine. Urine pH is altered by diet, drugs (eg, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, sodium bicarbonate), and clinical state of the patient (eg, renal tubular acidosis or severe infections of the urinary tract). Since the excretion rate of amantadine increases rapidly when the urine is acidic, the administration of urine acidifying drugs may increase the elimination of the drug from the body. Alterations of urine pH towards the alkaline condition may lead to an accumulation of the drug with a possible increase in adverse reactions. Monitor for efficacy or adverse reactions under conditions that alter the urine pH to more acidic or alkaline, respectively. Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccines: Due to its antiviral properties, amantadine may interfere with the efficacy of live attenuated influenza vaccines. Therefore, live vaccines are not recommended during treatment with GOCOVRI. Inactivated influenza vaccines may be used, as appropriate. Alcohol: Concomitant use with alcohol is not recommended, as it may increase the potential for CNS effects such as dizziness, confusion, lightheadedness, and orthostatic hypotension, and may result in dose-dumping. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: Pregnancy: There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with use of amantadine in pregnant women. Based on animal data, it may cause fetal harm. Lactation: Amantadine is excreted into human milk, but amounts have not been quantified. There is no information on the risk to a breastfed infant. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for GOCOVRI and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from GOCOVRI or from the underlying maternal condition. Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of GOCOVRI in pediatric patients have not been established. Geriatric Use: In Phase 3 clinical trials, the mean age of patients at study entry was 65 years. Of the total number of patients in clinical studies of GOCOVRI, 46% were less than 65 years of age, 39% were 65-74 years of age, and 15% were 75 years of age or older. Hallucinations and falls occurred more frequently in patients 65 years of age or older, compared with those less than 65 years of age. No dose adjustment is recommended on the basis of age. GOCOVRI is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function. Renal Impairment: GOCOVRI is contraindicated for use in patients with end-stage renal disease (creatinine clearance values lower than 15 mL/min/1.73 m2). A 50% dose reduction of GOCOVRI to a starting daily dose of 68.5 mg daily for a week, followed by a daily maintenance dose of 137 mg is recommended in patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73 m2). For patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance between 15 and 29 mL/min/1.73 m2), a daily dose of 68.5 mg is recommended. Overdosage: Deaths have been reported from overdose with amantadine immediaterelease. The lowest reported acute lethal dose was 1 g of amantadine hydrochloride (equivalent to 0.8 g amantadine). Acute toxicity may be attributable to the anticholinergic effects of amantadine. Drug overdose has resulted in cardiac, respiratory, renal, or central nervous system toxicity. Pulmonary edema and respiratory distress (including adult respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS) have been reported with amantadine; renal dysfunction, including increased BUN and decreased creatinine clearance, can occur. Central nervous system effects that have been reported with overdose include agitation, aggressive behavior, hypertonia, hyperkinesia, ataxia, tremor, disorientation, depersonalization, fear, delirium, psychotic reactions, lethargy, and coma. Seizures may be exacerbated in patients with prior history of seizure disorders. Hyperthermia has occurred with amantadine overdose. For acute overdosing, general supportive measures should be employed along with immediate gastric decontamination if appropriate. Give intravenous fluids if necessary. The excretion rate of amantadine increases with acidification of urine, which may increase the elimination of the drug. Monitor patients for arrhythmias and hypotension. Electrocardiographic monitoring may be needed after ingestion because arrhythmias have been reported after overdose, including arrhythmias with fatal outcomes. Adrenergic agents, such as isoproterenol, in patients with an amantadine overdose has been reported to induce arrhythmias. Monitor blood electrolytes, urine pH, and urinary output. Although amantadine is not efficiently removed by hemodialysis, this procedure may be useful in the treatment of amantadine toxicity in patients with renal failure. References: 1.
