Important Safety Information about BESIVANCE® (cont.)• As with other anti-infectives, prolonged use of BESIVANCE
® may result in overgrowth
of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. If super-infection occurs, discontinue use and institute alternative therapy.
• Patients should not wear contact lenses if they have signs or symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis or during the course of therapy with BESIVANCE
®.
• The most common adverse event reported in 2% of patients treated with BESIVANCE®
was conjunctival redness. Other adverse events reported in patients receiving BESIVANCE
® occurring in approximately 1-2% of patients included: blurred vision, eye
pain, eye irritation, eye pruritus and headache.

MIC = minimum inhibitory concentration;MRSA-CR=ciprofloxacin-resistant MRSA; MRSE-CR=ciprofloxacin-resistant MRSE.
Clinical significance of these in vitro data has not been established.In vitro studies demonstrated cross-resistance between BESIVANCE
® and some fluoroquinolones. In vitro resistance to
BESIVANCE® develops via multiple-step mutations and occurs at a general frequency of <3.3 x 10
-10 for S. aureus and
<7 x 10-10
for S. pneumoniae.5
All MIC90 values for depicted organisms were collected from the BESIVANCE® clinical development program.
Study design: BESIVANCE® was administered as a topical ocular instillation to human subjects as part of a single-center,
open-label study (N=64). At predetermined intervals after dosing, ocular tear samples were collected and analyzed for besifloxacin levels.

Against Pathogens of Concern
BESIVANCE® tear concentrations up to
12 hours were greater than the MIC90 for both common and more resistant pathogens

Data reported through 2015 in this open, ongoing study.
JAMA OPHTHALMOLOGY ARMOR Surveillance Study 2015
OBJECTIVE:
To report resistance rates and trends among common ocular isolates collected during the first 5 years of the ARMOR study.
STUDY DESIGN:
Ongoing, prospective, multicenter study designed to monitor antibiotic resistance trends among isolates of 5 common ocular bacterial pathogens.
• 72 ocular centers, university hospitals, and community hospitals across 36 states collected isolates January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2013
• Analysis performed at an independent central laboratory from January 16 to May 15, 2015
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES:
Minimum inhibitory concentrations for various antibiotic classes were interpreted as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant based on established break points.
• 3237 isolates were collected from the conjunctiva, cornea, aqueous humor, and vitreous humor. 3237 isolates were collected; the anatomical source was known for 1280 isolates.
RELEVANCE:
Continued surveillance of ocular isolates provides important information for ophthalmologists and optometrists to consider when selecting topical antibacterials for empirical therapy.
Antibiotic Resistance Among Ocular Pathogens in the United StatesFive-Year Results From the Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring in Ocular Microorganisms (ARMOR) Surveillance Study
Asbell PA, Sanfilippo CM, Pillar CM, DeCory HH, Sahm DF, Morris TW.
IndicationBESIVANCE® (besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension) 0.6% is a quinolone antimicrobial indicated for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible isolates of the following bacteria: Aerococcus viridans*, CDC coryneform group G, Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum*, Corynebacterium striatum*, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis*, Moraxella lacunata*, Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus hominis*, Staphylococcus lugdunensis*, Staphylococcus warneri*, Streptococcus mitis group, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus salivarius** Efficacy for this organism was studied in fewer than 10 infections.
Important Safety Information about BESIVANCE® (cont.)• BESIVANCE® is not intended to be administered systemically. Quinolones administered
systemically have been associated with hypersensitivity reactions, even following a single dose. Patients should be advised to discontinue use immediately and contact their physician at the first sign of a rash or allergic reaction.
• Safety and effectiveness in infants below one year of age have not been established.
