6.1 Clinical

Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates observed in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. These adverse reactions occurred in less than 0.5% of subjects treated with ONEXTON Gel: burning sensation (0.4%); contact dermatitis (0.4%); pruritus (0.4%); and rash (0.4%). During the clinical trial, subjects were assessed for local cutaneous signs and symptoms of erythema, scaling, itching, burning and stinging. Most local skin reactions either were the same as baseline or increased and peaked around Week 4 and were near or improved from baseline levels by Week 12. The percentage of subjects that had symptoms present before treatment (at baseline), during treatment, and the percent with symptoms present at Week 12 are shown in Table 1.

Results from the Phase 3 Trial (N = 243) Before Treatment (Baseline) During Treatment End of Treatment (Week 12) Mild Mod. * Severe Mild Mod. * Severe Mild Mod. * Severe Erythema 20 6 0 28 5 <1 15 2 0 Scaling 10 1 0 19 3 0 10 <1 0 Itching 14 3 <1 15 3 0 7 2 0 Burning 5 <1 <1 7 1 <1 3 <1 0 Stinging 5 <1 0 7 0 <1 3 0 <1 *Mod. = Moderate

6.2 Postmarketing

Experience Because postmarketing adverse 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. Anaphylaxis, as well as allergic reactions leading to hospitalizations, has been reported in postmarketing use of products containing clindamycin phosphate/benzoyl peroxide.
