Section 4.1 Therapeutic indications - therapeutic indication for Type 2 diabetes mellitus extended to children aged 10 years and above:
Forxiga is indicated in adults and children aged 10 years and above for the treatment of insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise
- as monotherapy when metformin is considered inappropriate due to intolerance.
- in addition to other medicinal products for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Section 4.2 Posology and method of administration - section Paediatric population revised:
No dose adjustment is required for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in children aged 10 years and above (see sections 5.1 and 5.2). No data are available for children below 10 years of age.
The safety and efficacy of dapagliflozin for the treatment of heart failure or for the treatment of chronic kidney disease in children aged 0 to < 18 years have not yet been established. No data are
available.
Section 4.8 Undesirable effects - addition of dapagliflozin safety profile for Paediatric population:
Paediatric population
The dapagliflozin safety profile observed in a clinical study in children aged 10 years and above with type 2 diabetes mellitus (see section 5.1) was similar to that observed in the studies in adults.
Section 5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties - section Paediatric population revised:
Paediatric population
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
In a clinical study in children and adolescents aged 10-24 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 39 patients were randomised to dapagliflozin 10 mg and 33 to placebo, as add-on to metformin, insulin
or a combination of metformin and insulin. At randomisation, 74% of the patients were < 18 years of age. The adjusted mean change in HbA1c for dapagliflozin relative to placebo from baseline to
week 24 was -0.75% (95% CI -1.65, 0.15). In the age group < 18 years the adjusted mean change in HbA1c for dapagliflozin relative to placebo was -0.59% (95% CI -1.66, 0.48). In the age group
≥ 18 years, the mean change from baseline in HbA1c was -1.52% in the dapagliflozin treated group (n=9) and 0.17% in the placebo treated group (n=6). Efficacy and safety were similar to that observed
in the adult population treated with dapagliflozin. Safety and tolerability were further confirmed in a 28-week safety extension of the study.The European Medicines Agency has deferred the obligation to
submit the results of studies with dapagliflozin in one or more subsets of the paediatric population in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use).
Heart failure and chronic kidney disease
The European Medicines Agency has waived the obligation to submit the results of studies with dapagliflozin in all subsets of the paediatric population in the prevention of cardiovascular events in
patients with chronic heart failure and in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use).
Section 5.2 Parmacokinetic properties - section Paediatric population revised:
Paediatric population
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (glucosuria) in children with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 10-17 years were similar to those observed in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.in the paediatric
population have not been studied.
