Precautions

Pregnancy-Lactation

Pregnancy There are no available data regarding use in pregnant women to inform any drug-associated risks Animal data (IV administration) Lifitegrast administered daily by IV injection to rats, from premating through gestation day 17, caused an increase in mean preimplantation loss and an increased incidence of several minor skeletal anomalies at 30 mg/kg/day, representing 5,400-fold the human plasma exposure at the recommended human ophthalmic dose (RHOD) In rabbits, an increased incidence of omphalocele was observed at the lowest dose tested, 3 mg/kg/day (400-fold the human plasma exposure at the RHOD, based on AUC), when administered by IV injection daily from gestation days 7 through 19 Lactation There are no data on the presence of lifitegrast in human milk; systemic exposure to lifitegrast from ocular administration is low

Mode of Action

The exact mechanism in dry eye disease is not known Binds to the integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), a cell surface protein bound on leukocytes, and blocks the interactions of LFA-1 with its cognate ligand intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) ICAM-1 may be overexpressed in corneal and conjunctival tissues in dry eye disease; LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction can contribute to the formation of an immunological synapse resulting in T-cell activation and migration to target tissues In vitro studies demonstrated that lifitegrast may inhibit T-cell adhesion to ICAM-1 in a human T-cell line and may inhibit secretion of inflammatory cytokines in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
