Clinical Pharmacology

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism Of Action DIANEAL is a pharmacologically inactive, hypertonic peritoneal dialysis solution containing dextrose, a monosaccharide, as the primary osmotic agent. An osmotic gradient must be created between the peritoneal membrane and the dialysis solution in order for ultrafiltration to occur. The hypertonic concentration of glucose in DIANEAL exerts an osmotic pressure across the peritoneal membrane resulting in transcapillary ultrafiltration. Like other peritoneal dialysis solutions, DIANEAL contains electrolytes to facilitate the correction of electrolyte abnormalities. DIANEAL contains a buffer, lactate, to help normalize acid-base abnormalities. Pharmacokinetics Absorption Glucose is rapidly absorbed from the peritoneal cavity by diffusion and appears quickly in the circulation due to the high glucose concentration gradient between DIANEAL compared to blood capillary glucose level. Absorption per unit time will be the highest at the start of an exchange and decreases over time. The rate of glucose absorption will be dependent upon the transport characteristics of the patient's peritoneal membrane as determined by a peritoneal equilibration test (PET). Glucose absorption will also depend upon the concentration of glucose used for the exchange and the length of the dwell. Transport of other molecules will be dependent upon the molecular size of the solute, the concentration gradient, and the effective peritoneal surface area as determined by the PET. Metabolism And Elimination Glucose is metabolized by normal cellular pathways (i.e., glycolysis). Metabolism of lactate occurs in the liver and results in the generation of the bicarbonate. Glucose not absorbed during PD exchange procedure is removed by drainage of the PD solution from the peritoneal cavity. Drug Interaction Studies Heparin No human drug interaction studies with heparin were conducted. In vitro studies demonstrated no evidence of incompatibility of heparin with DIANEAL. Antibiotics No formal clinical drug interaction studies have been performed. In vitro studies of the following medications have demonstrated stability with DIANEAL: amphotericin B, ampicillin, cefazolin, cefepime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, deferoxamine, erythromycin, gentamicin, linezolid, mezlocillin, miconazole, moxifloxacin, nafcillin, ofloxacin, penicillin G, piperacillin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, ticarcillin, tobramycin, and vancomycin. However, aminoglycosides should not be mixed with penicillins due to chemical incompatibility.

Indications & Dosage

INDICATIONS DIANEAL peritoneal dialysis solutions are indicated for patients in acute or chronic renal failure. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Basic Dosing Information DIANEAL peritoneal dialysis solutions are intended for intraperitoneal administration only. Not for intravenous administration. Select mode of therapy, frequency of treatment, formulation, fill volume, duration of dwell, and length of dialysis based on the patient's clinical condition, fluid, electrolyte and specific needs.The fill volume depends on body size, usually from 2.0 to 2.5 liters per 1.73m² for adults. DIANEAL is intended for use in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) or Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD). Refer to directions accompanying ancillary equipment for CAPD and APD system preparation. Product Selection To avoid the risk of severe dehydration and hypovolemia and to minimize the loss of protein, it is advisable to select the peritoneal dialysis solution with the lowest level of osmolarity consistent with the fluid removal requirements for that exchange. As the patient’s body weight becomes closer to the ideal dry weight, lowering the dextrose concentration of DIANEAL is recommended. DIANEAL 4.25% dextrose-containing solution has the highest osmolarity of the DIANEAL solutions and using it for all exchanges may cause dehydration [see Dosage Forms and Strengths]. Adding Medications If the resealable rubber plug on the medication port is missing or partly removed, do not use the product if medication is to be added. To add a medication: Put on mask. Clean and/or disinfect hands. Prepare medication port site using aseptic technique. Using a syringe with a 1-inch long, 25-to 19-gauge needle, puncture the medication port and inject additive. Reposition container with container ports up and evacuate medication port by squeezing and tapping it. Mix solution and additive thoroughly. Directions For Use Warming DIANEAL can be warmed to 37°C (98.6°F). Only dry heat should be used. For CAPD, it is best to warm solutions within the overwrap using a heating pad. Do not immerse DIANEAL in water for warming. Do not use a microwave oven to warm DIANEAL. To Open To open, tear the overwrap down at the slit and remove the solution container. Do not use sharp objects to remove the overwrap. Product Inspection Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use solutions that are cloudy, discolored, contain visible particulate matter, or show evidence of leakage. Some opacity of the plastic, due to moisture absorption during the sterilization process, may be observed. This does not affect the solution quality or safety and may often leave a slight amount of moisture within the overwrap. The opacity should diminish gradually. Inspect the bag connector to ensure the tip protector (pull ring, blue pull tip, or blue twist-off tip) is attached. Do not use if the tip protector is not attached to the connector. Inspect the DIANEAL container for signs of leakage and check for minute leaks by squeezing the container firmly. If the container has frangible(s), inspect that they are positioned correctly and are not broken. Do not use DIANEAL if the frangible(s) are broken or leaks are suspected as sterility may be impaired. For DIANEAL in ULTRABAG, inspect the tubing and drain container for presence of solution. Small droplets are acceptable, but if solution flows past the frangible prior to use, do not use and discard the units. CAPD Therapy Using ULTRABAG Containers Select appropriate formulation from Table 1. Put on mask. Clean and/or disinfect hands. Using aseptic technique; Uncoil tubing and drain bag, ensuring that the transfer set is closed. Break the connector (Y-set) frangible. Remove the tip protector from connector of solution container. Do not reuse the solution or container once the tip protector is removed. Immediately attach the solution container to patient connector (transfer set). Clamp solution line and then break frangible near solution bag. Hang solution container and place the drainage container below the level of the abdomen. Open transfer set to drain the solution from abdomen. If drainage cannot be established, contact your clinician. When drainage complete, close transfer set. Remove clamp from solution line and flush new solution to flow into the drainage container for 5 seconds to prime the line. Clamp drain line after flush complete. Open transfer set to fill. When fill complete, close transfer set. Disconnect ULTRABAG from transfer set and apply MINICAP. Upon completion of therapy, discard any unused portion.

Indications & Dosage

INDICATIONS peritoneal dialysis solutions are indicated for patients in acute or chronic renal failure. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Basic Dosing Information DIANEAL peritoneal dialysis solutions are intended for intraperitoneal administration only. Not for intravenous administration. Select mode of therapy, frequency of treatment, formulation, fill volume, duration of dwell, and length of dialysis based on the patient’s clinical condition, fluid, electrolyte and specific needs. The fill volume depends on body size, usually from 2.0 to 2.5 liters per 1.73m² for adults. DIANEAL is intended for use in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) or Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD). Refer to directions accompanying ancillary equipment for CAPD and APD system preparation. Product Selection To avoid the risk of severe dehydration and hypovolemia and to minimize the loss of protein, it is advisable to select the peritoneal dialysis solution with the lowest level of osmolarity consistent with the fluid removal requirements for that exchange. As the patient’s body weight becomes closer to the ideal dry weight, lowering the dextrose concentration of DIANEAL is recommended. DIANEAL 4.25% dextrose-containing solution has the highest osmolarity of the DIANEAL solutions and using it for all exchanges may cause dehydration [see Dosage Forms and Strengths]. Adding Medications If the resealable rubber plug on the medication port is missing or partly removed, do not use the product if medication is to be added. To add a medication: Put on mask. Clean and/or disinfect hands. Prepare medication port site using aseptic technique. Using a syringe with a 1-inch long, 25-to 19-gauge needle, puncture the medication port and inject additive. Reposition container with container ports up and evacuate medication port by squeezing and tapping it. Mix solution and additive thoroughly. Directions For Use Warming DIANEAL can be warmed to 37°C (98.6°F). Only dry heat should be used. For CAPD, it is best to warm solutions within the overwrap using a heating pad. Do not immerse DIANEAL in water for warming. Do not use a microwave oven to warm DIANEAL. To Open To open, tear the overwrap down at the slit and remove the solution container. Do not use sharp objects to remove the overwrap. Product Inspection Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use solutions that are cloudy, discolored, contain visible particulate matter, or show evidence of leakage. Some opacity of the plastic, due to moisture absorption during the sterilization process, may be observed. This does not affect the solution quality or safety and may often leave a slight amount of moisture within the overwrap. The opacity should diminish gradually. Inspect the bag connector to ensure the tip protector (pull ring, blue pull tip, or blue twist-off tip) is attached. Do not use if the tip protector is not attached to the connector. Inspect the DIANEAL container for signs of leakage and check for minute leaks by squeezing the container firmly. If the container has frangible(s), inspect that they are positioned correctly and are not broken. Do not use DIANEAL if the frangible(s) are broken or leaks are suspected as sterility may be impaired. For DIANEAL in ULTRABAG, inspect the tubing and drain container for presence of solution. Small droplets are acceptable, but if solution flows past the frangible prior to use, do not use and discard the units. CAPD Therapy Using ULTRABAG Containers Select appropriate formulation from Table 1. Put on mask. Clean and/or disinfect hands. Using aseptic technique; Uncoil tubing and drain bag, ensuring that the transfer set is closed. Break the connector (Y-set) frangible. Remove the tip protector from connector of solution container. Do not reuse the solution or container once the tip protector is removed. Immediately attach the solution container to patient connector (transfer set).

Overdosage & Contraindications

OVERDOSE There is a potential for overdose resulting in hypervolemia, hypovolemia, electrolyte disturbances or hyperglycemia. Excessive use of DIANEAL peritoneal dialysis solution with 4.25% dextrose during a peritoneal dialysis treatment can result in significant removal of water from the patient. CONTRAINDICATIONS DIANEAL is contraindicated in patients with severe lactic acidosis.

Side Effects & Drug Interactions

SIDE EFFECTS The following adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the label: Peritonitis and Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS] Electrolyte and Fluid Imbalances [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS] Clinical Trials Experience There are no data available on adverse reactions from controlled clinical trials conducted to evaluate the safety of DIANEAL. Post-Marketing Experience The following adverse experiences have been identified during post-approval use of DIANEAL or in conjunction with performing the peritoneal dialysis procedure. Because these experiences are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship during drug exposure. Most of these adverse experiences are believed to be consequences of peritoneal dialysis. Infections And Infestations: Fungal peritonitis, Peritonitis bacterial, Catheter related infection Metabolism And Nutrition Disorders: Hypovolemia, Hypervolemia, Fluid retention, Hypokalemia, Hyponatremia, Dehydration, Hypochloremia Vascular Disorders: Hypotension, Hypertension Respiratory, Thoracic, And Mediastinal Disorders: Dyspnea Gastrointestinal Disorders: Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, Peritonitis, Peritoneal cloudy effluent, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Nausea, Constipation, Abdominal pain, Abdominal distension, Abdominal discomfort Skin And Subcutaneous Disorders: Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Urticaria, Rash, (including pruritic, erythematous and generalized), Pruritus Musculoskeletal, Connective Tissue Disorders: Myalgia, Muscle spasms, Musculoskeletal pain General Disorders And Administration Site Conditions: Generalized edema, Pyrexia, Malaise, Infusion site pain, Catheter related complication DRUG INTERACTIONS As with other dialysis solutions, blood concentrations of dialyzable drugs may be reduced by dialysis. Dosage adjustment of concomitant medications may be necessary. Diabetic patients may require dosage adjustments of insulin or other treatments for hyperglycemia [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Warnings & Precautions

WARNINGS Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section. PRECAUTIONS Peritonitis And Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis Peritonitis has been associated with DIANEAL use. Following use, inspect the drained fluid for the presence of fibrin or cloudiness, which may indicate the presence of peritonitis. Improper clamping or priming sequence may result in infusion of air into the peritoneal cavity, which may result in abdominal pain and/or peritonitis. If peritonitis occurs, treat with appropriate therapy. Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis (EPS), sometimes fatal, is a complication of peritoneal dialysis therapy and has been reported in patients using DIANEAL Lactic Acidosis Monitor patients with conditions known to increase the risk of lactic acidosis [e.g., severe hypotension or sepsis that can be associated with acute renal failure, hepatic failure, inborn errors of metabolism, and treatment with drugs such as nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)] before the start of treatment and during treatment with lactate-based peritoneal dialysis solutions. Use of DIANEAL in patients with severe lactic acidosis is contraindicated [see CONTRAINDICATIONS]. Overinfusion Overinfusion of peritoneal dialysis solution volume into the peritoneal cavity may be characterized by abdominal distention, feeling of fullness and/or shortness of breath. Drain the peritoneal dialysis solution from the peritoneal cavity to treat overinfusion. Electrolyte, Fluid, And Nutrition Imbalances Peritoneal dialysis may affect a patient’s protein, water-soluble vitamin, potassium, bicarbonate, calcium, and magnesium levels and volume status. Monitor hematology, electrolytes, blood chemistry and fluid status periodically and take appropriate clinical action. Potassium is omitted from DIANEAL solutions because dialysis may be performed to correct hyperkalemia. In situations where there is a normal serum potassium level or hypokalemia, addition of potassium chloride (up to a concentration of 4 mEq/L) to the solution may be necessary to prevent severe hypokalemia. Monitor fluid status to avoid hyper-or hypovolemia and potentially severe consequences including congestive heart failure, volume depletion and hypovolemic shock. Hyperglycemia DIANEAL contains dextrose and may increase the risk for hyperglycemia in patients with impaired glucose tolerance. Patients may require initiation or modification of antidiabetic therapy during treatment with DIANEAL. Monitor blood glucose. Use In Specific Populations Pregnancy DIANEAL is a pharmacologically inactive solution. While there are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women, appropriate administration of DIANEAL, with appropriate monitoring of hematology, electrolytes, blood chemistry and fluid status is not expected to cause fetal harm. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with DIANEAL dialysis solution. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Lactation The components of DIANEAL are excreted in human milk. Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness have been established based on published clinical data. No adequate and well-controlled studies have been conducted with DIANEAL solutions in pediatric patients. Geriatric Use Safety and effectiveness have been established based on published clinical data.
