Rezlidhia

Patient Selection

Select patients for the treatment of relapsed or refractory AML with REZLIDHIA based on the presence of IDH1 mutations in blood or bone marrow [see Clinical Trials ]. Information on FDA- approved tests for the detection of IDH1 mutations in AML is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage of REZLIDHIA is 150 mg taken orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Administer REZLIDHIA capsules orally about the same time each day. Do not administer 2 doses within 8 hours. Take on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal [see Clinical Pharmacology ]. For patients without disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 months to allow time for clinical response.

Swallow REZLIDHIA capsules whole. Do not break, open, or chew the capsules. If a dose of REZLIDHIA is vomited, do not administer a replacement dose; wait until the next scheduled dose is due. If a dose of REZLIDHIA is missed or not taken at the usual time, administer the dose as soon as possible and at least 8 hours prior to the next scheduled dose. Return to the normal schedule the following day.

Monitoring and Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions

Assess blood counts, and blood chemistries including liver function tests prior to initiation of REZLIDHIA, at least once weekly for the first two months; once every other week for the third month; once in the fourth month, and once every other month for the duration of therapy. Manage any abnormalities promptly [see Warnings and Precautions and Adverse Reactions ].

Interrupt dosing or reduce dose for toxicities. See Table 1 for dosage modification guidelines.

Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Based on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, REZLIDHIA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on REZLIDHIA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk.

In embryo-fetal development studies, oral olutasidenib resulted in embryo-fetal death and altered fetal growth when administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at exposures up to 10 times and 0.7 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended daily dose (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.

Data

Animal Data

Olutasidenib was administered twice daily via oral gavage at dose levels of 25, 125, or 250 mg/kg/dose (50, 250, or 500 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during organogenesis (gestation days 6-17). An increase in fetal supernumerary rib was observed at the high dose (10 times the AUC at the clinical dose of 150 mg BID). In a pilot study, administration of olutasidenib orally to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in an increase in post-implantation loss at doses of 250 and 450 mg/kg/day (9 and 10 times the AUC at the clinical dose of 150 mg BID).

Olutasidenib was administered twice daily via oral gavage at dose levels of 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg/dose (20, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis (gestation days 7- 20). Maternal toxicity noted as reduced body weight gain occurred at 80 mg/kg/day. An increase in fetal supernumerary rib and increased post-implantation loss occurred at the high dose of 80 mg/kg/day (0.7 times the AUC at the clinical dose of 150 mg BID).

Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of olutasidenib or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or milk production. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, and due to the potential for adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with REZLIDHIA and for 2 weeks after the last dose.

Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of REZLIDHIA have not been established in pediatric patients.

Geriatric Use

Among the 153 patients with relapsed or refractory AML with an IDH1 mutation treated with REZLIDHIA, 116 (76%) were 65 years of age or older and 48 (31%) were 75 years or older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients 65 years and older and younger patients. Compared to patients younger than 65 years of age, an increase in incidence of hepatotoxicity and hypertension was observed in patients ≥65 years of age.

 Renal Impairment

No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 to <90 mL/min, as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault). The recommended dosage of REZLIDHIA has not been established in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), kidney failure (CLcr <15 mL/min, as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), and patients on dialysis [see Clinical Pharmacology ].

Hepatic Impairment

No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild (total bilirubin ≤ULN and any AST >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology ]. In patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, closely monitor for increased probability of differentiation syndrome [see Dosage and Administration and Warnings and Precautions ]. The recommended dosage of REZLIDHIA has not been established in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN with any AST) [see Clinical Pharmacology ].
