- Urinary Retention in Patients With Bladder Outlet Obstruction and in Patients Taking Muscarinic Antagonist Drugs for Overactive Bladder : Administer with caution in these patients because of risk of urinary retention. (
5.2 )- Angioedema : Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with mirabegron. (
5.3 ,6.2 )5.1 Increases in Blood Pressure
Increases in Blood Pressure in Adults
Mirabegron extended-release tablets can increase blood pressure. Periodic blood pressure determinations are recommended, especially in hypertensive patients. Mirabegron extended-release tablets are not recommended for use in patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 180 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 110 mm Hg) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].
In two, randomized, placebo-controlled, healthy adult volunteer studies, mirabegron extended-release tablets were associated with dose-related increases in supine blood pressure. In these studies, at the maximum recommended dose of 50 mg, the mean maximum increase in systolic/diastolic blood pressure was approximately 3.5/1.5 mm Hg greater than placebo.
In contrast, in adult OAB patients in clinical trials, mirabegron extended-release tablets, taken as monotherapy, the mean increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the maximum recommended mirabegron dose of 50 mg was approximately 0.5 to 1 mm Hg greater than placebo. Worsening of pre-existing hypertension was reported infrequently in patients taking mirabegron extended-release tablets.
Increases in Blood Pressure in Pediatric Patients 3 Years and Older
Mirabegron extended-release tablets can increase blood pressure in pediatric patients. Blood pressure increases may be larger in children (3 to less than 12 years of age) than in adolescents (12 to less than 18 years of age). Periodic blood pressure determinations are recommended. Mirabegron extended-release tablets is not recommended for use in pediatric patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension, defined as a systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure above the 99th percentile plus 5 mm Hg for age, sex, and stature using appropriate reference values.

5.2 Urinary Retention in Patients with Bladder Outlet Obstruction and in Patients Taking Muscarinic Antagonist Medications for OAB
In patients taking mirabegron extended-release tablets, urinary retention has been reported to occur in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and in patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB. A controlled clinical safety study in patients with BOO did not demonstrate increased urinary retention in patients treated with mirabegron; however, mirabegron extended-release tablets should still be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant BOO. For example, monitor these patients for signs and symptoms of urinary retention. Mirabegron extended-release tablets should also be administered with caution to patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].
5.3 Angioedema
Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with mirabegron extended-release tablets. In some cases, angioedema occurred after the first dose, however, cases have been reported to occur hours after the first dose or after multiple doses. Angioedema, associated with upper airway swelling, may be life-threatening. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, promptly discontinue mirabegron extended-release tablets and provide appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary to ensure a patent airway [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].
5.4 Patients Taking Drugs Metabolized by CYP2D6
Since mirabegron extended-release tablet is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor, the systemic exposure to CYP2D6 substrates is increased when coadministered with mirabegron extended-release tablet. Therefore, appropriate monitoring and dose adjustment may be necessary, especially with narrow therapeutic index drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
6 Adverse Reactions
Most commonly reported adverse reactions with mirabegron monotherapy in adult patients with OAB (> 2% and > placebo) were hypertension, nasopharyngitis, urinary tract infection, and headache. ( 6.1 )

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets Monotherapy for Adult OAB
In three, 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety and efficacy studies in patients with OAB (Studies 1, 2, and 3), mirabegron extended-release tablets were evaluated for safety in 2736 patients [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Study 1 also included an active control. For the combined Studies 1, 2, and 3, 432 patients received mirabegron extended-release tablets 25 mg, 1375 received mirabegron extended-release tablets 50 mg, and 929 received mirabegron extended-release tablets 100 mg once daily. In these studies, the majority of the patients were Caucasian (94%) and female (72%) with a mean age of 59 years (range 18 to 95 years).
Mirabegron extended-release tablets were also evaluated for safety in 1632 patients who received mirabegron extended-release tablets 50 mg once daily (n=812 patients) or mirabegron extended-release tablets 100 mg (n=820 patients) in a 1-year, randomized, fixed-dose, double-blind, active-controlled, safety study in patients with OAB (Study 4). Of these patients, 731 received mirabegron extended-release tablets in a previous 12-week study. In Study 4, 1385 patients received mirabegron extended-release tablets continuously for at least 6 months, 1311 patients received mirabegron extended-release tablets for at least 9 months, and 564 patients received mirabegron extended-release tablets for at least 1 year.
The most frequent adverse events (0.2%) leading to discontinuation in Studies 1, 2, and 3 for the 25 mg or 50 mg dose were nausea, headache, hypertension, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, and tachycardia.
Atrial fibrillation (0.2%) and prostate cancer (0.1%) were reported as serious adverse events by more than 1 patient and at a rate greater than placebo.
Table 8 uls the adverse reactions, derived from all adverse events, that were reported in Studies 1, 2, and 3 at an incidence greater than placebo and in 1% or more of patients treated with mirabegron extended-release tablets 25 mg or 50 mg once daily for up to 12 weeks. The most commonly reported adverse reactions (greater than 2% of mirabegron extended-release tablets patients and greater than placebo) were hypertension, nasopharyngitis, urinary tract infection, and headache.

6.2 Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of mirabegron extended-release tablets. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. The following events have been reported in association with mirabegron use in worldwide postmarketing experience:
Cardiac disorders:
Atrial fibrillation
Gastrointestinal disorders:
Nausea, constipation, diarrhea
Nervous system disorders:
Dizziness, headache
There have been postmarketing reports of confusion, hallucinations, insomnia, and anxiety in patients taking mirabegron. The majority of these patients had pre-existing medical conditions or concomitant medications that may cause confusion, hallucinations, insomnia, and anxiety. A causal relationship between mirabegron and these disorders has not been established.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders:
Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and larynx, with or without respiratory symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]; pruritus
Renal and urinary disorders:
Urinary retention [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
7 Drug Interactions
- Drugs Metabolized by CYP2D6 : Mirabegron is a CYP2D6 inhibitor and, when used concomitantly with drugs metabolized by CYP2D6, especially narrow therapeutic index drugs, appropriate monitoring and possible dose adjustment of those drugs may be necessary. (
5.4 ,7.1 ,12.3 )- Digoxin : When initiating a combination of mirabegron and digoxin, use the lowest dose of digoxin; monitor serum digoxin concentrations to titrate digoxin dose to desired clinical effect. (
7.2 ,12.3 )Pediatric use information is approved for Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.'s MYRBETRIQ (mirabegron extended-release tablets). However, due to Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.'s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information.
Drug interaction studies were conducted in adult patients to investigate the effect of coadministered drugs on the pharmacokinetics of mirabegron and the effect of mirabegron on the pharmacokinetics of coadministered drugs (e.g., ketoconazole, rifampin, solifenacin succinate, tamsulosin, and oral contraceptives) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. No dose adjustment is recommended when these drugs are coadministered with mirabegron.
The following are drug interactions for which monitoring is recommended:
7.1 Drugs Metabolized by CYP2D6
Since mirabegron is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor, the systemic exposure of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 enzyme is increased when coadministered with mirabegron. Therefore, appropriate monitoring and dose adjustment may be necessary when mirabegron extended-release tablet is coadministered with these drugs, especially with narrow therapeutic index CYP2D6 substrates [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
7.2 Digoxin
When given in combination, 100 mg mirabegron increased mean digoxin Cmax from 1.01 to 1.3 ng/mL (29%) and AUC from 16.7 to 19.3 ng.h/mL (27%). For patients who are initiating a combination of mirabegron and digoxin, the lowest dose for digoxin should initially be considered. Serum digoxin concentrations should be monitored and used for titration of the digoxin dose to obtain the desired clinical effect [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
7.3 Warfarin
The mean Cmax of S- and R-warfarin was increased by approximately 4% and AUC by approximately 9% when administered as a single dose of 25 mg after multiple doses of 100 mg mirabegron. Following a single dose administration of 25 mg warfarin, mirabegron had no effect on the warfarin pharmacodynamic endpoints such as International Normalized Ratio (INR) and prothrombin time. However, the effect of mirabegron on multiple doses of warfarin and on warfarin pharmacodynamic end points such as INR and prothrombin time has not been fully investigated [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8 Use In Specific Populations
8.1 Pregnancy
Risk Summary
There are no studies with the use of mirabegron in pregnant women or adolescents to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriages, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Mirabegron administration to pregnant animals during organogenesis resulted in reversible skeletal variations (in rats) at 22-fold (via AUC) the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 50 mg/day and decreased fetal body weights (in rabbits) at 14-fold the MRHD. At maternally-toxic exposures in rats (96-fold), decreased fetal weight and increased fetal mortality were observed and, in rabbits (36-fold), cardiac findings (fetal cardiomegaly and fetal dilated aortae) were observed [see Data].
The estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects or miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.
Data
Animal Data:
No embryo-fetal lethality or morphological fetal developmental abnormalities were produced in pregnant rats following daily oral administration of mirabegron during the period of organogenesis (Days 7 to 17 of gestation) at 0, 10, 30, 100, or 300 mg/kg, doses which were associated with systemic exposures (AUC) 0, 1, 6, 22, and 96-fold the MRHD. Skeletal variations (wavy ribs, delayed ossification) were observed in fetuses at doses 22-fold the systemic exposure at the MRHD and were reversible during development. Exposures 96-fold the MRHD were maternally-toxic (mortality, decreased body weight gain) and associated with fetal growth reduction.
Pregnant rabbits were treated with daily oral doses of mirabegron at 0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis (Days 6 to 20 of gestation), which resulted in plasma exposures that were 0, 1, 14, or 36-fold the MRHD based on AUC. At 10 mg/kg/day (14-fold the MRHD) and higher, fetal body weights were reduced. At 30 mg/kg/day, maternal toxicity (increased heart rate, mortality, reduced body weight gain, reduced food consumption) occurred, and fetal deaths, fetal cardiomegaly and fetal dilated aortae were observed at systemic exposure levels (AUC) 36-fold the MRHD.
In a pre- and postnatal developmental study, rats were treated with daily oral doses of mirabegron at 0, 10, 30, or 100 mg/kg/day (0, 1, 6, or 22-fold the MRHD) from day 7 of gestation until day 20 after birth. Decreased maternal body weight was observed along with decreased pup survival in the first few days after birth (92.7% survival) compared to the control group (98.8% survival), at 100 mg/kg/day (22-fold the MRHD). Pup body weight gain was reduced until postnatal day 7 but not further affected throughout the remainder of the lactation period. In utero and lactational exposure did not affect developmental milestones, behavior, or fertility of offspring. No effects were observed at 30 mg/kg/day.
8.2 Lactation
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of mirabegron in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Mirabegron-related material was present in rat milk and in the stomach of nursing pups following administrations of a single 10 mg/kg oral dose of 14C-labeled mirabegron to lactating rats. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk.
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for mirabegron extended-release tablets and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from mirabegron or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4 Pediatric Use
Increased mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures with use of mirabegron extended release-tablets occurred in patients less than 12 years of age with larger increases in patients younger than 8 years of age.
Pediatric use information is approved for Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.'s MYRBETRIQ (mirabegron extended-release tablets). However, due to Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.'s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Of 5648 patients who received mirabegron extended-release tablets monotherapy in the phase 2 and 3 studies for OAB, 2029 (35.9%) were 65 years of age or older, and 557 (9.9%) were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients younger than 65 years of age and those 65 years of age or older in these studies.
8.6 Renal Impairment
Mirabegron extended-release tablets have not been studied in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2) or patients requiring hemodialysis and, therefore, is not recommended for use in these patient populations. No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2).
In adult patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m2), the daily dose of mirabegron extended-release tablets should not exceed 25 mg [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Pediatric use information is approved for Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.'s MYRBETRIQ (mirabegron extended-release tablets). However, due to Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.'s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information.
8.7 Hepatic Impairment
Mirabegron extended-release tablets have not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) and, therefore, is not recommended for use in this patient population. No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A).
In adult patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B), the daily dose of mirabegron extended-release tablets should not exceed 25 mg [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Pediatric use information is approved for Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.'s MYRBETRIQ (mirabegron extended-release tablets). However, due to Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.'s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information.
10 Overdosage
Mirabegron has been administered to healthy volunteers at single doses up to 400 mg. At this dose, adverse events reported included palpitations (1 of 6 subjects) and increased pulse rate exceeding 100 beats per minute (bpm) (3 of 6 subjects). Multiple doses of mirabegron up to 300 mg daily for 10 days showed increases in pulse rate and systolic blood pressure when administered to healthy volunteers. Treatment for overdosage should be symptomatic and supportive. In the event of overdosage, pulse rate, blood pressure and ECG monitoring is recommended.
11 Description
Mirabegron extended-release tablet for oral use is a beta-3 adrenergic agonist. The chemical name of mirabegron is 2-(2-Amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-N-[4-(2-{([(2R)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl] amino}ethyl)phenyl] acetamide having an empirical formula of C21H24N4O2S and a molecular weight of 396.51. The structural formula of mirabegron is:
Mirabegron is an off-white to light yellow colored powder. It is practically insoluble in water. It is soluble in methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide.
Each mirabegron extended-release tablet for oral use contains either 25 mg or 50 mg of mirabegron and the following inactive ingredients: butylated hydroxytoluene, D&C Yellow No.10 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Yellow No. 6, hydroxy propyl cellulose, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, polyethylene oxide, titanium dioxide, triacetin.
12 Clinical Pharmacology
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Mirabegron is an agonist of the human beta-3 adrenergic receptor (AR) as demonstrated by in vitro laboratory experiments using the cloned human beta-3 AR. Mirabegron relaxes the detrusor smooth muscle during the storage phase of the urinary bladder fill-void cycle by activation of beta-3 AR which increases bladder capacity. Although mirabegron showed very low intrinsic activity for cloned human beta-1 AR and beta-2 AR, results in humans indicate that beta-1 AR stimulation occurred at a mirabegron dose of 200 mg.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Urodynamics
The effects of mirabegron on maximum urinary flow rate and detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate were assessed in a urodynamic study consisting of 200 male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and BOO. Administration of mirabegron once daily for 12 weeks did not adversely affect the mean maximum flow rate or mean detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate in this study. Nonetheless, mirabegron should be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant BOO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Cardiac Electrophysiology
The effect of multiple doses of mirabegron 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg (four times the maximum recommended dose) once daily on QTc interval was evaluated in a randomized, placebo- and active-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg), four-treatment arm, parallel crossover study in 352 healthy subjects. In a study with demonstrated ability to detect small effects, the upper bound of the one-sided 95% confidence interval for the largest placebo-adjusted, baseline-corrected QTc based on individual correction method (QTcI) was below 10 msec. For the 50 mg mirabegron dose group (the maximum approved dosage), the mean difference from placebo on QTcI interval at 4 to 5 hours post-dose was 3.7 msec (upper bound of the 95% CI 5.1 msec).
For the mirabegron 100 mg and 200 mg dose groups (dosages greater than the maximum approved dose and resulting in substantial multiples of the anticipated maximum blood levels at 50 mg), the mean differences from placebo in QTcI interval at 4 to 5 hours post dose were 6.1 msec (upper bound of the 95% CI 7.6 msec) and 8.1 msec (upper bound of the 95% CI 9.8 msec), respectively. At the mirabegron 200 mg dose, in females, the mean effect was 10.4 msec (upper bound of the 95% CI 13.4 msec).
In this thorough QT study, mirabegron increased heart rate on ECG in a dose-dependent manner. Maximum mean increases from baseline in heart rate for the 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg dose groups compared to placebo were 6.7 bpm, 11 bpm, and 17 bpm, respectively. In the clinical efficacy and safety studies, the change from baseline in mean pulse rate for mirabegron 50 mg was approximately 1 bpm. In this thorough QT study, mirabegron also increased blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner (see Effects on Blood Pressure).

In a study of 352 healthy subjects assessing the effect of multiple daily doses of 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg (four times the maximum recommended dose) of mirabegron for 10 days on the QTc interval, the maximum mean increase in supine systolic blood pressure (SBP)/ diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at the maximum recommended dose of 50 mg was approximately 4.0/1.6 mm Hg greater than placebo [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. The 24-hour average increases in SBP compared to placebo were 3.0, 5.5, and 9.7 mm Hg at mirabegron doses of 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg, respectively. Increases in DBP were also dose-dependent, but were smaller than SBP.
In another study in 96 healthy subjects to assess the impact of age on pharmacokinetics of multiple daily doses of 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 300 mg (six times the maximum recommended dose) of mirabegron for 10 days, SBP also increased in a dose-dependent manner. The mean maximum increases in SBP were approximately 2.5, 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 mm Hg for mirabegron exposures associated with doses of 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 300 mg, respectively.
In three, 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety and efficacy studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3) in patients with OAB receiving mirabegron 25 mg, 50 mg, or 100 mg (two times the maximum recommended dose) once daily, mean increases in SBP/DBP compared to placebo of approximately 0.5 to 1 mm Hg were observed. Morning SBP increased by at least 15 mm Hg from baseline in 5.3%, 5.1%, and 6.7% of placebo, mirabegron 25 mg and mirabegron 50 mg patients, respectively. Morning DBP increased by at least 10 mm Hg in 4.6%, 4.1%, and 6.6% of placebo, mirabegron 25 mg, and mirabegron 50 mg patients, respectively. Both SBP and DBP increases were reversible upon discontinuation of treatment.
Effect on Intraocular Pressure (IOP)
Mirabegron 100 mg once daily did not increase IOP in healthy subjects after 56 days of treatment. In a phase 1 study assessing the effect of mirabegron on IOP using Goldmann applanation tonometry in 310 healthy subjects, a dose of mirabegron 100 mg was non-inferior to placebo for the primary endpoint of the treatment difference in mean change from baseline to day 56 in subject average IOP; the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI of the treatment difference between mirabegron 100 mg and placebo was 0.3 mm Hg.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets Monotherapy for Adult OAB:
After oral administration of mirabegron in healthy volunteers, mirabegron was absorbed to reach maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) at approximately 3.5 hours. The absolute bioavailability increased from 29% at a dose of 25 mg to 35% at a dose of 50 mg. Mean Cmax and AUC increased more than dose proportionally. This relationship was more apparent at doses above 50 mg. In the overall population of males and females, a 2-fold increase in dose from 50 mg to 100 mg mirabegron increased Cmax and AUCtau by approximately 2.9-and 2.6-fold, respectively, whereas a 4-fold increase in dose from 50 to 200 mg mirabegron increased Cmax and AUCtau by approximately 8.4-and 6.5-fold. Steady-state concentrations were achieved within 7 days of once daily dosing with mirabegron. After once daily administration, plasma exposure of mirabegron at steady-state was approximately double that seen after a single dose.
Effect of Food:
Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets Monotherapy for Adult OAB:
There were no clinically significant differences in mirabegron pharmacokinetics when administered with or without food in adult patients.
Distribution
Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets Monotherapy for Adult OAB:
Mirabegron is extensively distributed in the body. The volume of distribution at steady-state (Vss) is approximately 1670 L following intravenous administration. Mirabegron is bound (approximately 71%) to human plasma proteins, and shows moderate affinity for albumin and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein. Mirabegron distributes to erythrocytes. Based on an in vitro study, erythrocyte concentrations of 14C-mirabegron were about 2-fold higher than in plasma.
Elimination
Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets Monotherapy for Adult OAB:
The terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of mirabegron is approximately 50 hours in patients.
Metabolism
Mirabegron is metabolized via multiple pathways involving dealkylation, oxidation, (direct) glucuronidation, and amide hydrolysis. Mirabegron is the major circulating component following a single dose of 14C-mirabegron. Two major metabolites were observed in human plasma and are phase 2 glucuronides representing 16% and 11% of total exposure, respectively. These metabolites are not pharmacologically active toward beta-3 adrenergic receptor. Although, in vitro studies suggest a role for CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 in the oxidative metabolism of mirabegron, in vivo results indicate that these isozymes play a limited role in the overall elimination. In healthy subjects who were genotypically poor metabolizers of CYP2D6, mean Cmax and AUCtau were approximately 16% and 17% higher than in extensive metabolizers of CYP2D6, respectively. In vitro and ex vivo studies have shown the involvement of butylcholinesterase, uridine diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT), and possibly alcohol dehydrogenase in the metabolism of mirabegron, in addition to CYP3A4 and CYP2D6.
Excretion
Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets Monotherapy for Adult OAB:
Total body clearance (CLtot) from plasma is approximately 57 L/h following intravenous administration. Renal clearance (CLR) is approximately 13 L/h, which corresponds to nearly 25% of CLtot. Renal elimination of mirabegron is primarily through active tubular secretion along with glomerular filtration. The urinary elimination of unchanged mirabegron is dose-dependent and ranges from approximately 6.0% after a daily dose of 25 mg to 12.2% after a daily dose of 100 mg. Following the administration of 160 mg 14C-mirabegron solution to healthy volunteers, approximately 55% of the radioactivity dose was recovered in the urine and 34% in the feces. Approximately 25% of unchanged mirabegron was recovered in urine and 0% in feces.
Specific Populations
Geriatric Patients:
The Cmax and AUC of mirabegron following multiple oral doses in elderly volunteers (≥ 65 years) were similar to those in younger volunteers (18 to 45 years) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].
Gender:
Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets Monotherapy for Adult OAB
The Cmax and AUC of mirabegron were approximately 40% to 50% higher in females than in males. When corrected for differences in body weight, the mirabegron systemic exposure was 20% to 30% higher in females compared to males.
Race:
The pharmacokinetics of mirabegron were comparable between Caucasians and African-American Blacks. Cross studies comparison showed that the exposure in Japanese subjects were higher than that in North American subjects. However, when the Cmax and AUC were normalized for dose and body weight, the difference was smaller.
Patients with Renal Impairment:
Following single-dose administration of 100 mg mirabegron in adult volunteers with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 as estimated by MDRD), mean mirabegron Cmax and AUC were increased by 6% and 31% relative to adult volunteers with normal renal function. In adult volunteers with moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m2), Cmax and AUC were increased by 23% and 66%, respectively. In adult volunteers with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m2), mean Cmax and AUC values were 92% and 118% higher compared to healthy subjects with normal renal function. Mirabegron has not been studied in adult patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) (eGFR less than 15 mL/min/1.73 m2)Â or adult patients requiring dialysis.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment :
Following single-dose administration of 100 mg mirabegron in adult volunteers with mild hepatic impairment (Child- Pugh Class A), mean mirabegron Cmax and AUC were increased by 9% and 19%, relative to adult volunteers with normal hepatic function. In adult volunteers with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B), mean Cmax and AUC values were 175% and 65% higher. Mirabegron has not been studied in adult patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C).
Drug Interaction Studies
In Vitro Studies:
Effect of Other Drugs on Mirabegron
Mirabegron is transported and metabolized through multiple pathways. Mirabegron is a substrate for CYP3A4, CYP2D6, butyrylcholinesterase, UGT, the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and the influx organic cation transporters (OCT) OCT1, OCT2, and OCT3. Sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agents glibenclamide (a CYP3A4 substrate), gliclazide (a CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 substrate), and tolbutamide (a CYP2C9 substrate) did not affect the in vitro metabolism of mirabegron.
Effect of Mirabegron on Other Drugs
Studies of mirabegron using human liver microsomes and recombinant human CYP enzymes showed that mirabegron is a moderate and time-dependent inhibitor of CYP2D6 and a weak inhibitor of CYP3A. Mirabegron is unlikely to inhibit the metabolism of coadministered drugs metabolized by the following cytochrome P450 enzymes: CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2E1 because mirabegron did not inhibit the activity of these enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Mirabegron did not induce CYP1A2 or CYP3A. Mirabegron inhibited P-gp-mediated drug transport at high concentrations. Mirabegron is predicted not to cause clinically relevant inhibition of OCT-mediated drug transport. Mirabegron did not affect the metabolism of glibenclamide or tolbutamide.
In Vivo Studies:
Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets Monotherapy for Adult OAB
The effect of coadministered drugs on the pharmacokinetics of mirabegron and the effect of mirabegron on the pharmacokinetics of coadministered drugs was studied after single and multiple doses of mirabegron. Most drug-drug interactions (DDI) were studied using mirabegron 100 mg extended-release tablets. However, interaction studies of mirabegron with metoprolol and with metformin were studied using mirabegron 160 mg immediate-release (IR) tablets.
The effect of ketoconazole, rifampicin, solifenacin succinate, tamsulosin, and metformin on systemic mirabegron exposure is shown in Figure 1.
The effect of mirabegron on metoprolol, desipramine, combined oral contraceptive-COC (ethinyl estradiol-EE, levonorgestrel-LNG), solifenacin succinate, digoxin, warfarin, tamsulosin, and metformin is shown in Figure 2.
In these studies, the largest increase in mirabegron systemic exposure was seen in the ketoconazole DDI study. As a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole increased mirabegron Cmax by 45% and mirabegron AUC by 80% after multiple dose administration of 400 mg of ketoconazole for 9 days prior to the administration of a single dose of 100 mg mirabegron in 23 male and female healthy subjects.
As a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor, mirabegron increased the systemic exposure to metoprolol and desipramine:
- Mirabegron increased the Cmax of metoprolol by 90% and metoprolol AUC by 229% after multiple doses of 160 mg mirabegron IR tablets once daily for 5 days and a single dose of 100 mg metoprolol tablet in 12 healthy male subjects administered before and concomitantly with mirabegron.
- Mirabegron increased the Cmax of desipramine by 79% and desipramine AUC by 241% after multiple dose administration of 100 mg mirabegron once daily for 18 days and a single dose of 50 mg desipramine before and concomitantly with mirabegron in 28 male and female healthy subjects.
Figures 1 and 2 show the magnitude of these interactions on the pharmacokinetic parameters and the recommendations for dose adjustment, if any:
Figure 1: The Effect of Coadministered Drugs on Exposure of Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets and Dose Recommendation
(1) Although no dose adjustment is recommended with solifenacin succinate or tamsulosin based on the lack of pharmacokinetic interaction, mirabegron extended-release tablets should be administered with caution to patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB and in patients with clinically significant BOO because of the risk of urinary retention [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Figure 2: The Effect of Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets on Exposure of Coadministered Medication
(1) Since mirabegron is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor, the systemic exposure to CYP2D6 substrates such as metoprolol and desipramine is increased when coadministered with mirabegron. Therefore, appropriate monitoring and dose adjustment may be necessary, especially with narrow therapeutic index CYP2D6 substrates, such as thioridazine, flecainide, and propafenone [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) and Drug Interactions (7.1)].
 (2) For patients who are initiating a combination of mirabegron and digoxin, the lowest dose for digoxin should initially be prescribed. Serum digoxin concentrations should be monitored and used for titration of the digoxin dose to obtain the desired clinical effect [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].
 (3) Warfarin was administered as a single 25 mg dose of the racemate (a mixture of R-warfarin and S-warfarin). Based on this single-dose study, mirabegron had no effect on the warfarin pharmacodynamic endpoints such as INR and prothrombin time. However, the effect of mirabegron on multiple doses of warfarin and on warfarin pharmacodynamic end points such as INR and prothrombin time has not been fully investigated [see Drug Interactions (7.3)].
 (4) Although no dose adjustment is recommended with solifenacin succinate or tamsulosin based on the lack of pharmacokinetic interaction, mirabegron extended-release tablets should be administered with caution to patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB and in BOO because of the risk of urinary retention [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

13 Nonclinical Toxicology
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Carcinogenicity
Long-term carcinogenicity studies were conducted in rats and mice dosed orally with mirabegron for two years. Male rats were dosed at 0, 12.5, 25, or 50 mg/kg/day and female rats and both sexes of mice were dosed at 0, 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day. Mirabegron showed no carcinogenic potential at systemic exposures (AUC) 38 to 45-fold higher than the MRHD in rats and 21 to 38-fold higher than the MRHD in mice than the human systemic exposure at the 50 mg dose.
Mutagenesis
Mirabegron was not mutagenic in the Ames bacterial reverse mutation assay, did not induce chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes at concentrations that were not cytotoxic, and was not clastogenic in the rat micronucleus assay.
Impairment of Fertility
Fertility studies in rats showed that mirabegron had no effect on either male or female fertility at non-lethal doses up to 100 mg/kg/day. Systemic exposures (AUC) at 100 mg/kg in female rats was estimated to be 22-fold the MRHD in women and 93-fold the MRHD in men.
14 Clinical Studies
14.1 Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets Monotherapy for Adult OAB
Mirabegron extended-release tablets were evaluated in three, 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter clinical trials in patients with overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency (Studies 1, 2, and 3). Entry criteria required that patients had symptoms of overactive bladder for at least 3 months duration, at least 8 micturitions per day, and at least 3 episodes of urgency with or without incontinence over a 3-day period. The majority of patients were Caucasian (94%) and female (72%) with a mean age of 59 years (range 18 to 95 years). The population included both naïve patients who had not received prior muscarinic antagonist pharmacotherapy for overactive bladder (48%) and those who had received prior muscarinic antagonist pharmacotherapy for OAB (52%).
In Study 1 (NCT00689104), patients were randomized to placebo, mirabegron extended-release tablets 50 mg, mirabegron extended-release tablets 100 mg, or an active control once daily. In Study 2 (NCT00662909), patients were randomized to placebo, mirabegron extended-release tablets 50 mg or mirabegron extended-release tablets 100 mg once daily. In Study 3 (NCT00912964), patients were randomized to placebo, mirabegron extended-release tablets 25 mg or mirabegron extended-release tablets 50 mg once daily.
The co-primary efficacy endpoints in all 3 trials were (1) change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 12) in mean number of incontinence episodes per 24 hours and (2) change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 12) in mean number of micturitions per 24 hours, based on a 3-day micturition diary. An important secondary endpoint was the change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 12) in mean volume voided per micturition.
Results for the co-primary endpoints and mean volume voided per micturition from Studies 1, 2, and 3 are shown in Table 13.
