A no-effect dose in mice was not identified. In an embryofetal development study in pregnant rabbits, beclomethasone dipropionate administration during organogenesis from gestation days 7 to 16 at subcutaneous doses equal to and greater than 1. There were no effects in fetuses of pregnant rabbits administered a subcutaneous dose 0. There are no data available on the presence of beclomethasone dipropionate in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.
However, other corticosteroids have been detected in human milk. Controlled pediatric clinical trials with QNASL Nasal Aerosol included children 4 to 11 years of age and adolescent patients 12 to 17 years of age [see Clinical Studies 14 ]. Controlled clinical trials have shown that intranasal corticosteroids may cause a reduction in growth velocity in pediatric patients. This effect has been observed in the absence of laboratory evidence of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal HPA axis suppression, suggesting that growth velocity is a more sensitive indicator of systemic corticosteroid exposure in pediatric patients than some commonly used tests of HPA-axis function.
The long-term effects of reduction in growth velocity associated with intranasal corticosteroids, including the impact on final adult height, are unknown. The potential for "catch-up" growth following discontinuation of treatment with intranasal corticosteroids has not been adequately studied. When comparing results at month 12 to baseline, the mean growth velocity in children treated with HFA-beclomethasone dipropionate was approximately 0.
The potential for QNASL Nasal Aerosol to cause reduction in growth velocity in susceptible patients or when given at higher than recommended dosages cannot be ruled out. Clinical trials of QNASL Nasal Aerosol did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and older to determine whether they responded differently than younger subjects.
Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, administration to elderly patients should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. Beclomethasone dipropionate, a di-ester of beclomethasone a synthetic corticosteroid chemically related to dexamethasone , is a white to almost white, odorless powder with a molecular formula of C 28 H 37 ClO 7 and a molecular weight of It is practically insoluble in water, very soluble in chloroform, and soluble in acetone and in dehydrated alcohol.
QNASL 40 mcg Nasal Aerosol delivers 40 mcg of beclomethasone dipropionate from the nasal actuator and 50 mcg from the valve.
QNASL 80 mcg Nasal Aerosol delivers 80 mcg of beclomethasone dipropionate from the nasal actuator and mcg from the valve. Each strength delivers 59 mg of solution from the valve with each actuation. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a prodrug that is extensively converted to the active metabolite, beclomethasonemonopropionate.
The precise mechanism through which beclomethasone dipropionate affects rhinitis symptoms is unknown. Corticosteroids have been shown to have multiple anti-inflammatory effects, inhibiting both inflammatory cells e. Beclomethasonemonopropionate has been shown in vitro to exhibit a binding affinity for the human glucocorticoid receptor which is approximately 13 times that of dexamethasone, 6 times that of triamcinolone acetonide, 1.
The clinical significance of these findings is unknown. Adrenal Function: The effects of QNASL Nasal Aerosol on the HPA axis were evaluated in two 6-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group perennial allergic rhinitis trials — one in adult and adolescent patients 12 to 45 years of age and another in children 6 to 11 years of age. HPA-axis function was assessed by hour serial serum cortisol levels prior to the first dose and after 6 weeks of treatment.
Patients were domiciled for the hour serum cortisol assessments. The change from baseline in the hour serum cortisol weighted mean for QNASL Nasal Aerosol and placebo after 6 weeks of treatment were compared. After 6 weeks of treatment, the geometric mean values were 8. After 6 weeks of treatment the geometric mean values were 6. Following intranasal administration, most of the beclomethasone dipropionate undergoes extensive conversion to its active metabolite, beclomethasonemonopropionate, during absorption.
The single-dose pharmacokinetics of QNASL Nasal Aerosol were evaluated in a randomized, open-label, 3-period, crossover trial in healthy adult volunteers. Following repeated once-daily administration of QNASL Nasal Aerosol, there was no accumulation or increase in plasma exposure to beclomethasonemonopropionate or beclomethasone dipropionate, most likely due to the short plasma half-life relative to the dosing frequency.
The volume of distribution at steady state for beclomethasone dipropionate is moderate 20 L but more extensive for beclomethasonemonopropionate L. Beclomethasone dipropionate undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism, forming three metabolites via CYP3A4, beclomethasonemonopropionate, beclomethasonemonopropionate, and beclomethasone.
Beclomethasonemonopropionate is the major and most active metabolite. The major route of elimination of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate appears to be via metabolism. The mean elimination half-life of beclomethasonemonopropionate is 2. The terminal elimination half-lives of beclomethasone dipropionate and beclomethasonemonopropionate following intranasal dosing with QNASL Nasal Aerosol mcg were approximately 0.
Irrespective of the route of administration injection, oral, or inhalation , beclomethasone dipropionate and its metabolites are mainly excreted in the feces. It is likely that intranasal beclomethasone dipropionate follows a similar elimination pathway. The carcinogenicity of beclomethasone dipropionate was evaluated in rats which were exposed for a total of 95 weeks: 13 weeks at inhalation doses up to 0. Beclomethasone dipropionate did not induce gene mutation in bacterial cells or mammalian Chinese hamster ovary CHO cells in vitro.
No significant clastogenic effect was seen in cultured CHO cells in vitro or in the mouse micronucleus test in vivo. Impairment of fertility, as evidenced by inhibition of the estrous cycle in dogs was observed following treatment by the oral route at a dose of 0.
No inhibition of the estrous cycle in dogs was seen following 12 months of exposure to beclomethasone dipropionate by the inhalation route at an estimated daily dose of 0. Adult and Adolescent Patients Aged 12 Years and Older : The efficacy and safety of QNASL Nasal Aerosol have been evaluated in 3 randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multicenter, placebo-controlled clinical trials of 2 to 6 weeks duration in adult and adolescent patients 12 years and older with symptoms of seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis.
The 3 clinical trials included one 2-week dose-ranging trial in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, one 2-week efficacy trial in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, and one 6-week efficacy trial in patients with perennial allergic rhinitis.
The trials included a total of patients males and females. Assessment of efficacy was based on the total nasal symptom score TNSS. Morning and evening TNSS scores were averaged over the treatment period and the difference from placebo in the change from baseline rTNSS was the primary efficacy endpoint.
The morning iTNSS reflects the TNSS at the end of the hour dosing interval and is an indication of whether the effect was maintained over the hour dosing interval.
Dose-Ranging Trial : The dose-ranging trial was a 2-week trial that evaluated the efficacy of 3 doses of beclomethasone dipropionate nasal aerosol 80, , and mcg, once daily in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis.
The mcg dose also demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in morning iTNSS than placebo, indicating that the effect was maintained over the hour dosing interval. Symptoms may include feeling tired, weakness, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. Tell your healthcare provider if you experience these symptoms.
