ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION

LOINC: 34084-4Updated: 5/31/2025

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

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 practice.

In patients with dry eye disease, 766 patients received at least one dose of TRYPTYR in four randomized controlled clinical trials across 71 sites in the United States. The most common ocular adverse reaction observed in controlled clinical studies with TRYPTYR was instillation site pain (50%). Less than 1% of patients discontinued therapy due to burning or stinging sensation in the eyes.

Key Highlight

The most common adverse reaction was instillation site pain (50%). (6.1)

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION

LOINC: 43684-0Updated: 5/31/2025

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies on TRYPTYR in pregnant women. Systemic exposure to acoltremon from ocular administration is negligible [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Intravenous administration of acoltremon to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis did not produce embryofetal toxicity at 806- and 2151-fold the maximum recommended human ocular dose (MRHOD) of acoltremon on a mg/m2 basis (see Data).

All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the US general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects is 2 to 4%, and of miscarriage is 15 to 20%, of clinically recognized pregnancies.

Data

Animal Data

In embryofetal developmental studies in pregnant rats and rabbits dosed by intravenous injection daily during organogenesis from gestation days 6-17 and gestation days 7-19, respectively, no maternal or fetal toxicity was observed at 806- and 2151-fold the MRHOD of acoltremon on a mg/m2 basis.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of acoltremon in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. However, systemic exposure to acoltremon following topical ocular administration is low. The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of TRYPTYR to an infant during lactation; however, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TRYPTYR.

8.4 Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of TRYPTYR have not been established in pediatric patients.

8.5 Geriatric Use

No clinically relevant differences in safety have been observed between elderly and younger patients.

DESCRIPTION SECTION

LOINC: 34089-3Updated: 5/31/2025

11 DESCRIPTION

TRYPTYR (acoltremon ophthalmic solution) 0.003% contains an agonist of TRPM8 ion channels. Acoltremon’s chemical name is (1R,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxamide. The molecular formula of acoltremon is C18H27NO2 and has a molecular weight of 289.42 g/mol.

Chemical Structure

Acoltremon is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid, that is insoluble in water.

TRYPTYR is a sterile, clear to slightly opalescent, colorless, isotonic aqueous solution for topical ophthalmic use, with a pH of approximately 7 and an osmolality of 280 to 330 mOsm/kg. Each mL of TRYPTYR contains active: acoltremon 0.003%; and inactives: polyoxyl 35 castor oil, sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, sodium chloride, hypromellose and purified water. Additionally, sodium hydroxide is used to adjust pH. TRYPTYR does not contain an anti-microbial preservative.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION

LOINC: 34090-1Updated: 5/31/2025

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Studies in animals suggest that acoltremon, the active substance in TRYPTYR, is an agonist of transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) thermoreceptors. TRPM8 thermoreceptor stimulation has been shown to activate trigeminal nerve signaling leading to increased basal tear production. The exact mechanism of action for TRYPTYR in dry eye disease is unknown.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

PK was assessed in 25 patients with dry eye disease receiving TRYPTYR administration (1 drop twice daily) on Days 1, 14, and 90. A total of three (3) (12.0%) had plasma concentrations above 20 pg/mL (the lower limit of quantification), with the highest plasma concentration of 213 pg/mL.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION

LOINC: 43680-8Updated: 5/31/2025

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity
Long term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of acoltremon.

Mutagenicity
Acoltremon was not mutagenic or clastogenic in the standard battery of genotoxicity tests including a bacterial reverse mutation assay, an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in human peripheral lymphocytes and micronucleus assay in rats.

Impairment of Fertility
Studies to evaluate the potential effects of acoltremon on male or female fertility in animals have not been performed.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION

LOINC: 34092-7Updated: 5/31/2025

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

The efficacy of TRYPTYR for the treatment of dry eye disease was supported by two randomized, multi-center, double-masked, vehicle-controlled studies (COMET-2 [NCT-05285644] and COMET-3 [NCT-05360966]) enrolling a total of 931 dry eye patients (462 of which received TRYPTYR).

Patients were randomized to TRYPTYR or vehicle (placebo) in a 1:1 ratio and dosed twice a day for 90 days. Use of artificial tears was not allowed during the studies. The mean age was 61 years (range, 30-93 years). The majority of patients were female (74.8%). Enrollment criteria included signs (i.e., corneal fluorescein staining score [2-15] and anesthetized Schirmer tear test [2-9 mm]) and symptoms (i.e., SANDE Score [≥ 50] and Ocular Discomfort Score [≥ 50]) of dry eye disease.

Efficacy

Tear film production was measured by unanesthetized Schirmer tear test assessed using a Schirmer strip (0 - 35 mm). The average baseline unanesthetized Schirmer scores for TRYPTYR and Vehicle treated patients was 6.2 mm and 5.9 mm in the COMET-2 study, and 6.8 mm and 6.4 mm in the COMET-3 study, respectively. Of the patients treated at Day 14 (primary endpoint) with TRYPTYR, 42.6% achieved ≥ 10 mm increase in Schirmer score from baseline in the COMET-2 study and 53.2% achieved ≥ 10 mm increase in Schirmer score from baseline at Day 14 in the COMET-3 study, compared to 8.2% and 14.4% of vehicle-treated patients in the COMET-2 study and the COMET-3 study, respectively. A statistically significant improvement in tear production favoring TRYPTYR (p<0.01) was observed in both studies (Table 1).
