Post Marketing Plan Earl Sands, M.D. Vice President and Chief Medical Officer US Research and Development Solvay Pharmaceuticals
Post Marketing Plan Agenda • RiskMAP • PULZIUM® Observational Study – “POST”
RiskMAP Development • Inclusion of multiple stakeholders in US and EU • Physicians, nurses and pharmacists • Pretesting via user panels in US and EU • Iterative process; revisions made based on feedback • Objective: to provide the optimal benefit/risk balance for tedisamil by ensuring product use consistent with prescribing information • Minimizing risks • Preserving benefits
RiskMAP Objectives Align usage with the label • Appropriate clinical setting (ECG monitoring and staff training) • Appropriate patient selection • Correct dose and administration • Monitoring for a minimum of 2 hrs from the start of infusion and until QTc becomes normal
Risks to be Minimized • As with all antiarrhythmic drugs, tedisamil use has risks • Torsade de Pointes • Bradycardia • Hypotension • These risks can be minimized by addressing the potential contributory factors/causes: • Miscalculation/misadministration of dose
RiskMAP Tools • Labeling • Comprehensive, first line of risk communication • Gender-specific, detailed height and weight-based dosing chart • Targeted education and outreach • A number of tools will be used in educating physicians and HCPs, which also have a reminder function and are therefore listed in the section below • HCP website • Reminder systems • Physician checklist • Infusion bag stickers • Arrhythmia diagnostic guide • QTc guide • Dose guide and calculator • Administration and monitoring guide
Gender-specific Dosing Charts • Separate charts for males and females, which provide dose volume based on weight and height Height Height Weight Weight

PULZIUM® Observational Study – “POST” • A prospective observational study • 1200 - 2000 patients • demographic, prescribing and adverse event data • 120 geographically diverse sites • The aim of the study would be to generate real-world benefit/risk data on tedisamil • detailed, real-time safety data • evaluating safety and efficacy in ethnic minorities, i.e. African-Americans, Hispanics, etc. • evaluating the success of the RiskMAP as a whole
PULZIUM® Observational Study • The study would be under the auspices of an independent DSMB • Data evaluated quarterly and every 300 treated patients • Periodic and real-time updates to FDA as necessary to meet the new REMS criteria* *Source: Title II FDA Revitalization Act.
