4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS

4.1 Therapeutic indications

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for estrogen deficiency symptoms in women more than one year after menopause.

Prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of future fractures who are intolerant of, or contraindicated for, other medicinal products approved for the prevention of osteoporosis.

The experience of treating women older than 65 years is limited.

4.2 Posology and method of administration

Cliovellan is a preparation for the continuous combined hormone replacement treatment of women with an intact uterus. One tablet is taken daily without interruption, preferably at the same time of day.

For initiation and continuation of treatment of postmenopausal symptoms, the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration (see also section 4.4) should be used.

Changing over to a combination product with a higher dose should be considered if after 3 months the treatment has not resulted in satisfactory symptom relief.

Women with amenorrhoea not taking HRT or women transferring from another continuous combined HRT product can start treatment with Cliovellan on any convenient day. For women transferring from sequential preparations the treatment should be started immediately after withdrawal bleeding has stopped.

If the patient forgets to take a tablet she can take it within 12 hours of the usual time, otherwise the forgotten tablet must be discarded. Missed doses can increase the likelihood of breakthrough bleeding and spotting.

4.3 Contraindications

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

For the treatment of postmenopausal symptoms, HRT should only be initiated for symptoms that adversely affect quality of life. In all cases, a careful appraisal of the risks and benefits should be undertaken at least annually and HRT should only be continued as long as the benefit outweighs the risk.

Evidence regarding the risks associated with HRT in the treatment of premature menopause is limited. Due to the low level of absolute risk in younger women, however, the balance of benefits and risks for these women may be more favourable than in older women.

Medical examination/follow up

Before initiating or reinstituting HRT, a complete personal and family medical history should be taken. Physical (including pelvic and breast) examination should be guided by this and by the contraindications and warnings for use.

During treatment, periodic check-ups are recommended of a frequency and nature adapted to the individual woman. Women should be advised what changes in their breasts should be reported to their doctor or nurse (see ’Breast cancer’ below). Investigations, including appropriate imaging tools, e. g. mammography, should be carried out in accordance with currently accepted screening practices, modified to the clinical needs of the individual.

Conditions which need supervision

If any of the following conditions are present, have occurred previously, and/or have been aggravated during pregnancy or previous hormone treatment, the patient should be closely supervised. It should be taken into account that these conditions may recur or be aggravated during treatment with Cliovellan, in particular:

Reasons for immediate withdrawal of therapy:

Therapy should be discontinued in case a contraindication (see section 4.3) is discovered and in the following situations:

Endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma

In women with an intact uterus the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma is increased when estrogens are administered alone for prolonged periods. The reported increase in endometrial cancer risk among estrogen-only users varies from 2- to 12-fold greater compared with non-users, depending on the duration of treatment and estrogen dose (see section 4.8). After stopping treatment risk may remain elevated for at least 10 years.

The addition of a progestagen cyclically for at least 12 days per month/28 day cycle or continuous combined estrogen-progestagen therapy in non-hysterectomised women prevents the excess risk associated with estrogen-only HRT.

Break-through bleeding and/or spotting may occur during the first months of treatment. If break-through bleeding or spotting appears after some time on therapy, or continues after treatment has been discontinued, the reason should be investigated, which may include endometrial biopsy to exclude endometrial malignancy.

Breast cancer

The overall evidence suggests an increased risk of breast cancer in women taking combined estrogen-progestagen and possibly also estrogen-only HRT, that is dependent on the duration of taking HRT

Combined estrogen-progestagen therapy

The randomised placebo-controlled trial the “Women’s Health Initiative Study” (WHÌ) and epidemiological studies are consistent in finding an increased risk of breast cancer in women taking combined estrogen-progestagen for HRT that becomes apparent after about 3 years (see section 4.8).

Estrogen-only HRT

The WHI trial found no increase in the risk of breast cancer in hysterectomised women using estrogen-only HRT. Observational studies have mostly reported a small increase in risk of having breast cancer diagnosed that is substantially lower than that found in users of estrogen-progestagen combinations (see section 4.8).

The excess risk becomes apparent within a few years of use but returns to baseline within a few (at most five) years after stopping treatment.

HRT, especially estrogen-progestagen combined treatment, increases the density of mammographic images which may adversely affect the radiological detection of breast cancer.

Ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is much rarer than breast cancer.

Epidemiological evidence from a large meta-analysis suggests a slightly increased risk in women taking oestrogen-only or combined oestrogen-progestagen HRT, which becomes apparent within 5 years of use and diminishes over time after stopping. Some other studies including the WHI trial suggest that the use of combined HRT may be associated with a similar, or slightly smaller, risk (see section 4.8).

Venous thromboembolism

HRT is associated witha 1.3 - 3-fold risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), i. e. deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The occurrence of such an event is more likely in the first year of HRT than later (see section 4.8).

Patients with known thrombophilic states have an increased risk of VTE and HRT may add to this risk. HRT is therefore contraindicated in these patients (see section 4.3).

Generally recognised risk factors for VTE include use of estrogens, older age, major surgery, prolonged immobilisation, obesity (BMI >30 kg/m2), pregnancy / postpartum period, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and cancer. There is no consensus about the possible role of varicose veins in VTE.

As in all postoperative patients, prophylactic measures need to be considered to prevent VTE following surgery. If prolonged immobilisation is to follow elective surgery temporarily stopping HRT 4 to 6 weeks earlier is recommended. Treatment should not be restarted until the woman is completely mobilised.

In women with no personal history of VTE but with a first degree relative with a history of thrombosis at young age, screening may be offered after careful counselling regarding its limitations (only a proportion of thrombophilic defects are identified by screening).

If a thrombophilic defect is identified which segregates with thrombosis in family members or if a defect is “severe” (e. g. antithrombin, protein S or protein C deficiencies or a combination of defects) HRT is contraincidicated (see section 4.3).

Women already on chronic anticoagulant treatment require careful consideration of the benefit-risk of use of HRT.

If VTE develops after initiating therapy, the drug should be discontinued. Patients should be told to contact their doctors immediately when they are aware of a potential thromboembolic symptom (e.g. painful swelling of a leg, sudden pain in the chest, dyspnoea).

Coronary artery disease (CAD)

There is no evidence from randomised controlled trials of protection against myocardial infarction in women with or without existing CAD who received combined estrogen-progestagen or estrogen-only HRT.

Combined estrogen-progestagen therapy

The relative risk of CAD during use of combined estrogen+progestagen HRT is slightly increased. As the baseline absolute risk of CAD is strongly dependent on age, the number of extra cases of CAD due to estrogen+progestagen use is very low in healthy women close to menopause, but will rise with more advanced age.

Estrogen-only

Randomised controlled data found no increased risk of CAD in hysterectomised women using estrogen-only therapy.

Ischaemic stroke

Combined estrogen-progestagen and estrogen-only therapy are associated with an up to
1.5-fold increase in risk of ischaemic stroke. The relative risk does not change with age or time since menopause. However, as the baseline risk of stroke is strongly age-dependent, the overall risk of stroke in women who use HRT will increase with age (see section 4.8).

Other conditions

Estrogens may cause fluid retention and therefore patients with cardiac or renal dysfunction should be carefully observed.

Women with pre-existing hypertriglyceridaemia should be followed closely during estrogen replacement or hormone replacement therapy, since rare cases of large increases of plasma triglycerides leading to pancreatitis have been reported with estrogen therapy in this condition.

Estrogens increase thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) levels, leading to increased circulating total thyroid hormone, as measured by protein-bound iodine (PBI); T4 levels (by column or by radioimmunoassay, RIA), and T3 levels (by RIA). T3 resin uptake is decreased, reflecting the elevated TBG. Free T4 and free T3-concentrations are unaltered. Other binding proteins may be elevated in serum, i.e. corticoid binding globulin (CBG), sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG leading to increased circulating corticosteroids and sex steroids, respectively. Free or biological active hormone concentrations are unchanged. Other plasma proteins may be increased (angiotensinogen/renin substrate, alpha-1-antitrypsin, ceruloplasmin).

Patients who require thyroid hormone replacement therapy should have their thyroid function monitored regularly while on HRT to ensure that thyroid hormone levels remain in an acceptable range.

Estrogens may influence or exacerbate symptoms of angioedema, in particular in women with hereditary angioedema.

HRT use does not improve cognitive function. There is some evidence of increased risk of probable dementia in women who start using continuous combined or estrogen-only HRT after the age of 65.

Cliovellan tablets contain lactose monohydrate. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

The metabolism of estrogens and progestagens may be increased by concomitant use of substances known to induce drug-metabolising enzymes, specifically cytochrome P450 enzymes, such as anticonvulsants (e.g. phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine) and antiinfectives (e.g. rifampicin, rifabutine, nevirapine, efavirenz). Ritonavir, telaprevir and nelfinavir, although known as strong inhibitors by contrast exhibit inducing properties when used concomitantly with steroid hormones. Herbal preparations containing St John´s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) may induce the metabolism of estrogens and progestagens.

Clinically, an increased metabolism of estrogens and progestagens may lead to decreased effect and changes in the uterine bleeding profile.

Drugs that inhibit the activity of hepatic microsomal drug metabolizing enzymes e.g. ketoconazole, may increase circulating levels of the active substances of Cliovellan.

Concomitant administration of cyclosporine and Cliovellan may cause increased blood levels of cyclosporine, creatinine and transaminases due to decreased metabolism of cyclosporine in the liver.

Oral contraceptives containing ethinylestradiol have been shown to significantly decrease plasma concentrations of lamotrigine when co-administered. Similar interaction may exist between hormone replacement therapy containing estradiol and lamotrigine. Therefore, dosage adjustment of lamotrigine may be necessary for seizure control.

Some laboratory tests may be influenced by estrogen therapy, such as tests for glucose tolerance or thyroid function.


4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

Cliovellan is not indicated during pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs during medication with Cliovellan, treatment should be withdrawn immediately.

Data on a limited number of exposed pregnancies indicate no adverse effects of norethisterone acetate on the fetus. At higher doses than normally used in contraceptives and HRT formulations masculinisation of female fetuses was observed. The results of most epidemiological studies to date relevant to inadvertent fetal exposure to combinations of estrogens and progestagens indicate no teratogenic or fetotoxic effect.

Breast-feeding

Cliovellan is not indicated during breast-feeding.

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Cliovellan has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

4.8 Undesirable effects

The most common undesirable effects reported in clinical trials with estradiol valerate and norethisterone acetate were vaginal bleeding and breast pain/tenderness, reported in approx. 10-20 % of patients. Vaginal bleeding usually occurred during the first months of treatment. Breast pain usually disappeared after a few months. All the undesirable effects observed in randomised clinical studies at a greater frequency for estradiol valerate and norethisterone acetate than for placebo and assessed as possibly being associated with the treatment are set out in the table below.

The observed adverse reactions are ranked in order of decreasing frequency within the system organ class.

Breast cancer

An up to 2-fold increased risk of having breast cancer diagnosed is reported in women taking combined estrogen-progestagen therapy for more than 5 years.

Any increased risk in users of estrogen-only therapy is substantially lower than that seen in users of estrogen-progestagen combinations.

The level of risk is dependent on the duration of use (see section 4.4)

Results of the largest randomised placebo-controlled trial (WHI-study) and largest epidemiological study (MWS) are presented.

* WHI study in women with no uterus, which did not show an increase in risk of breast cancer

When the analysis was restricted to women who had not used HRT prior to the study there was no increased risk apparent during the first 5 years of treatment: after 5 years the risk was higher than in non-users.

Endometrial cancer

Postmenopausal women with an uterus

The endometrial cancer risk is about 5 in every 1000 women with an uterus not using HRT.

In women with an uterus, use of estrogen-only HRT is not recommended because it increases the risk of endometrial cancer (see section 4.4).

Depending on the duration of estrogen-only use and estrogen dose, the increase in risk of endometrial cancer in epidemiology studies varied from between 5 and 55 extra cases diagnosed in every 1000 women between the ages of 50 and 65.

Adding a progestagen to estrogen-only therapy for at least 12 days per cycle can prevent this increased risk. In the Million Women Study the use of five years of combined (sequential or continuous) HRT did not increase risk of endometrial cancer (RR of 1.0 (0.8 -1.2)).

Ovarian cancer

Use of estrogen-only or combined estrogen-progestagen HRT has been associated with a slightly increased risk of having ovarian cancer diagnosed (see Section 4.4).

A meta-analysis from 52 epidemiological studies reported an increased risk of ovarian cancer in women currently using HRT compared to women who have never used HRT (RR 1.43, 95% CI 1.31-1.56). For women aged 50 to 54 years taking 5 years of HRT, this results in about 1 extra case per 2000 users. In women aged 50 to 54 who are not taking HRT, about 2 women in 2000 will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer over a 5-year period.

Risk of venous thromboembolism

HRT is associated with a 1.3 - 3-fold increased relative risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), i.e. deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The occurrence of such an event is more likely in the first year of using HRT (see section 4.4). Results of the WHI studies are presented:

Risk of coronary artery disease

The risk of coronary artery disease is slightly increased in users of combined estrogen-progestagen HRT over the age of 60 (see section 4.4).

Risk of ischaemic stroke

The use of estrogen-only and estrogen + progestagen therapy is associated with an up to 1.5-fold increased relative risk of ischaemic stroke. The risk of haemorrhagic stroke is not increased during use of HRT.

This relative risk is dependent on age and on duration of use, but as the baseline risk is strongly age-dependent, the overall risk of stroke in women who use HRT will increase with age, see section 4.4.

Other adverse reactions have been reported in association with estrogen/progestagen treatment:

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system listed in Appendix V.

4.9 Overdose

Symptoms of over dosage with oral estrogens are breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting and/or metrorrhagia. Over dosage of progestogens may lead to a depressive mood, fatigue, acne and hirsutism. Treatment should be symptomatic.

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: progestagens and estrogens, combinations

ATC code: G03FA01

Estrogen and progestagen for continuous combined replacement treatment (HRT).

Estradiol: The active ingredient, synthetic 17-beta estradiol, is chemically and biologically identical to endogenous human estradiol. It substitutes for the loss of estrogen production in menopausal women and alleviates menopausal symptoms.

Estrogens prevent bone loss following menopause or ovariectomy.

Norethisterone acetate: As estrogens promote the growth of the endometrium, unopposed estrogens increase the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer. The addition of a progestagen greatly reduces the estrogen-induced risk of endometrial hyperplasia in non-hysterectomised women.

Clinical trial information

Cliovellan is bioequivalent to 1 mg estradiol/0.5 mg norethisterone acetate containing reference tablets for which clinical trial data are available.

Relief of estrogen-deficiency symptoms and bleeding patterns

Relief of menopausal symptoms was achieved during the first few weeks of treatment.

Cliovellan is a preparation for combined continuous HRT administered with the intention of avoiding the regular withdrawal bleeding that occurs in cyclical or sequential HRT. Amenorrhea was seen in 90 % of the women during months 9-12 of treatment. Irregular bleeding and/or spotting appeared in 27 % of the women during the first three months of treatment and in 10 % during months 10-12 of treatment.

Prevention of osteoporosis

Estrogen deficiency at menopause is associated with an increasing bone turnover and decline in bone mass. The effect of estrogens on the bone mineral density is dose-dependent. Protection appears to be effective for as long as treatment is continued. After discontinuation of HRT, bone mass is lost at a rate similar to that in untreated women.

Evidence from the WHI trial and meta-analysed trials shows that current use of HRT, alone or in combination with a progestagen – given to predominantly healthy women – reduces the risk of hip, vertebral, and other osteoporotic fractures. HRT may also prevent fractures in women with low bone density and/or established osteoporosis, but the evidence for that is limited.

After 2 years of treatment with 1 mg estradiol /0.5 mg norethisterone acetate, the mean increase in lumbarspine bone mineral density (BMD) from baseline was 3.8 % (95 % confidence interval 2.8 % to 4.9 %) in one published trial and 6.4 % (3.8 % to 6.9 %) in another published trial. The percentage of women who maintained or gained BMD in lumbar zone during treatment was 87 % in one trial.

Tablets with 1 mg estradiol /0.5 mg norethisterone acetate also had an effect on hip BMD. The increase from baseline at femoral neck after 2 years was 1.8 % ± 4.1 % (mean ± SD), p < 0.05 compared to baseline) in one trial, but only 0.7 % (95 % confidence interval -1.3 % to 2.8 %, p < 0.18 compared to placebo) in another where, however, a mean BMD increase at total hip after 2 years of 3.3 % (1.7 % to 5.0, p < 0.001 compared to placebo) was shown.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

Estradiol valerate

Since estradiol valerate is rapidly cleaved in the small intestine, the intestinal mucosa and the liver, its pharmacokinetic properties correspond to those of orally administered estradiol.

Estradiol is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. The maximum plasma concentration is generally achieved 5 - 8 hours after ingestion. The plasma elimination half-life is about 12 - 14 hours. Estradiol circulates in the blood bound to SHBG (37 %) and albumin (61 %), with only 1 - 2 % not being bound. The metabolism of estradiol predominantly takes place in the liver and in the intestine, but also in the target organs. Estradiol is mainly converted to estrone and estriol. These are excreted into the bile and undergo enterohepatic recirculation and further degradation before being excreted in the urine (90 - 95 %) as biologically inactive glucuronide- and sulphate conjugates or mostly unconjugated in the faeces (5 - 10 %).

Norethisterone acetate

Norethisterone acetate (NETA) is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and its effects lasts at least 24 hours. The maximum blood concentration is generally achieved 1 - 4 hours after oral administration. Norethisterone acetate undergoes a first-pass effect, being transformed to norethisterone, which is then metabolized and eliminated, predominantly in the urine, as glucuronide and sulphate conjugates. Approximately 97 % of unmetabolized norethisterone in the serum is protein-bound. Of this 61 % is bound to albumin and 36 % to SHBG. The half-life of unmetabolized norethisterone in the plasma is on average 10.15 hours (SD ± 5.46).

Bioequivalence was demonstrated in a study performed with Cliovellan and 1 mg estradiol / 0.5 mg norethisterone acetate containing reference tablets.
After taking a single dose Cliovellan the arithmetical mean value of C
max was 5.23 (SD ± 2.26) ng/ml for norethisterone and 21.6 (SD ± 8.9) pg/ml for estradiol.

5.3 Preclinical safety data

The acute toxicity of estrogens is low. Due to the great differences between animal species and between animals and humans preclinical results are of limited value for predicting the effect on humans.

Animal studies have shown embryo-lethal effects of estradiol or estradiol valerate even at relatively low doses; malformations of the urogenital tract and feminization of male fetuses were observed.

Like other progestagens norethisterone causes virilization of female fetuses in rats and monkeys. At high doses of norethisterone embryo-lethal effects were observed.

Long-term, continuous administration of natural and synthetic oestrogens in certain animal species increases the frequency of carcinomas of the breast, uterus, cervix, vagina, testis, and liver. Long-term, continuous administration of norethisterone in certain animal species increases the frequency of tumours of the hypophysis and ovary in females, and of liver and breast in males.
