StorageKeep the constituted oral solution of EVRYSDI in the original amber bottle to protect from light. Store in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion 64 days after constitution. Keep the bottle in an upright position with the cap tightly closed. If refrigeration is not available, EVRYSDI can be kept at room temperature up to 40°C (up to 104°F) for a combined total of 5 days. EVRYSDI can be removed from, and returned to, a refrigerator. The total combined time out of refrigeration should not exceed 5 days.
EVRYSDI for oral solution: 60 mg as a light yellow, pale yellow, yellow, greyish yellow, greenish yellow, or light green powder for constitution. Following constitution, the volume of the greenish yellow to yellow solution is 80 mL, providing 60 mg/80 mL (0.75 mg/mL) risdiplam.
EVRYSDI tablet: 5 mg as a pale yellow film-coated tablet, round and curved, with EVR debossed on one side.
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm. (
8.1 PregnancyThere is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy and fetal/neonatal/infant outcomes in women exposed to EVRYSDI during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients and pregnant women are encouraged to register themselves by calling 1-833-760-1098 or visiting https://www.evrysdipregnancyregistry.com.
There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of EVRYSDI in pregnant women. In animal studies, administration of risdiplam during pregnancy or throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in adverse effects on development (embryofetal mortality, malformations, decreased fetal body weights, and reproductive impairment in offspring) at or above clinically relevant drug exposures
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defect and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Based on animal data, advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus.
Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 3, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats throughout organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weights and increased incidences of fetal structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was not associated with maternal toxicity. The no-effect level for adverse effects on embryofetal development (3 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) approximately 2 times that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 5 mg.
Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 4, or 12 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits throughout organogenesis resulted in embryofetal mortality, fetal malformations (hydrocephaly), and structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity. The no-effect dose for adverse effects on embryofetal development (4 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) approximately 4 times that in humans at the MRHD.
When risdiplam (0, 0.75, 1.5, or 3 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation, gestation was prolonged in the dams, and delayed sexual maturation (vaginal opening) and impaired reproductive function (decreased numbers of corpora lutea, implantation sites, and live embryos) were observed in female offspring at the highest dose. The no-effect dose for adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development in rats (1.5 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) similar to that in humans at the MRHD.
None.
The most common adverse reactions in later-onset SMA (incidence at least 10% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and more frequent than control) were fever, diarrhea, and rash. (
6.1 Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
In clinical trials including patients with infantile-onset SMA, later-onset SMA, and pre-symptomatic SMA, a total of 491 patients (51% female, 74% Caucasian) were exposed to EVRYSDI for up to a median duration of 48.1 months (range: 0.6 to 63.4 months), with 231 patients receiving treatment for more than 24 months. At the time of first EVRYSDI dose, 90 (18%) patients were 18 years and older, 119 (24%) were 12 years to less than 18 years, 189 (39%) were 2 years to less than 12 years, 67 (14%) 2 months to less than 2 years, and 26 (5%) were less than 2 months.
The safety of EVRYSDI for later-onset SMA is based on data from a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study (Study 2 Part 2) in patients with SMA Type 2 or 3 (n = 180)
The most common adverse reactions (reported in at least 10% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and at an incidence greater than on placebo) in Study 2 Part 2 were fever, diarrhea, and rash.Table 2lists the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 5% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and at an incidence ≥ 5% greater than on placebo in Study 2 Part 2.

(
7.1 Effect of EVRYSDI on Substrates of Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion (MATE) Protein TransportersBased on in vitro data, EVRYSDI may increase plasma concentrations of drugs eliminated via MATE1 or MATE2-K
, such as metformin. Avoid coadministration of EVRYSDI with MATE substrates. If coadministration cannot be avoided, monitor for drug-related toxicities and consider dosage reduction of the coadministered drug (based on the labeling of that drug) if needed.EVRYSDI for oral solution and EVRYSDI tablets for oral use contain risdiplam, which is a survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2)-directed RNA splicing modifier.
The chemical name of risdiplam is 7-(4,7-diazaspiro[2.5]octan-7-yl)-2-(2,8 dimethylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)pyrido-4H-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one. Risdiplam has a molecular weight of 401.46 g/mol. Risdiplam demonstrates pH-dependent aqueous solubility; the greatest solubility is at low pH, and solubility decreases with increasing pH. Risdiplam has a pKa1 of 3.78 (base) and pKa2 of 6.62 (base).
The molecular formula of risdiplam is C22H23N7O and the chemical structure is shown below.

Keep the constituted oral solution of EVRYSDI in the original amber bottle to protect from light. Store in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion 64 days after constitution. Keep the bottle in an upright position with the cap tightly closed. If refrigeration is not available, EVRYSDI can be kept at room temperature up to 40°C (up to 104°F) for a combined total of 5 days. EVRYSDI can be removed from, and returned to, a refrigerator. The total combined time out of refrigeration should not exceed 5 days.
Each EVRYSDI tablet contains 5 mg of risdiplam. The inactive ingredients of EVRYSDI tablet are colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol 3350, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium stearyl fumarate, strawberry flavor, talc, tartaric acid, titanium dioxide, and yellow iron oxide.
Risdiplam is a survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2) splicing modifier designed to treat patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) caused by mutations in chromosome 5q that lead to SMN protein deficiency. Using in vitro assays and studies in transgenic animal models of SMA, risdiplam was shown to increase exon 7 inclusion in SMN2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) transcripts and production of full-length SMN protein in the brain.
In vitro and in vivo data indicate that risdiplam may cause alternative splicing of additional genes, including FOXM1 and MADD. FOXM1 and MADD are thought to be involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis, respectively, and have been identified as possible contributors to adverse effects seen in animals.
Risdiplam was not carcinogenic in Tg.rasH2 mice when administered at oral doses of up to 9 mg/kg/day for 26 weeks.
In a 2-year carcinogenicity study in rats, oral administration of risdiplam (0, 0.3, 1, or 3 mg/kg/day) resulted in increased incidences of preputial gland squamous cell carcinomas in males and combined thyroid follicular cell adenomas and carcinomas in females at the highest dose tested. The higher dose not associated with an increase in tumors (1 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma drug exposures (AUC) similar to that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 5 mg/day.
The efficacy of EVRYSDI for the treatment of patients with infantile-onset, later-onset, and pre-symptomatic SMA was evaluated in three clinical studies, Study 1 (NCT02913482) and Study 2 (NCT02908685), and Study 3 (NCT03779334), respectively.
The overall findings of these studies support the effectiveness of EVRYSDI in SMA pediatric and adult patients and appear to support the early initiation of treatment with EVRYSDI.
Each amber glass bottle of EVRYSDI for oral solution is packaged with a bottle adapter, two 1 mL reusable oral syringes, two 6 mL reusable oral syringes, and one 12 mL reusable oral syringe. EVRYSDI for oral solution is a light yellow, pale yellow, yellow, greyish yellow, greenish yellow, or light green powder. Each bottle contains 60 mg of risdiplam (NDC 50242-175-07).
