Side Effects of Fyarro

Clinical Trials Experience

Because 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 the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of FYARRO was assessed in a single-arm study (AMPECT). Thirty-four patients received FYARRO 100 mg/m 2 on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity . Among the 34 patients who received FYARRO, 16 (47%) were exposed for 6 months or longer and 7 (21%) were exposed for greater than 1 year. The median age of patients who received FYARRO was 59.5 years (range 27 to 78 years), 82% were female and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status was 0 (76%) or 1 (24%). Race was 71% White, 9% Black, 9% Asian, 3% Hawaiian/Pacific Islander and 9% Other/Not Reported.

Ethnicity was 82% not Hispanic or Latino, 15% Hispanic or Latino, and 3% Not Reported. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 14 (41%) patients who received FYARRO. Serious adverse reactions in >5% of patients, including 4 (12%) patients with infection and 2 (6%) patients each with abdominal pain, dehydration, and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1 (2.9%) patient who received FYARRO and experienced upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Permanent discontinuation of FYARRO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 3 (9%) patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of FYARRO included pneumonitis, anemia, and noninfective cystitis. Dosage interruptions of FYARRO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 22 (65%) patients.

Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >5% of patients included stomatitis in 6 (18%) patients, pneumonitis in 5 (15%) patients, anemia in 3 (9%) patients, and dehydration, dermatitis acneiform, and thrombocytopenia in 2 (6%) patients each.

Thrombocytopenia and neutropenia occurred in 35% of patients each. Obtain blood counts at baseline and every 2 months for the first year of treatment and every 3 months thereafter, or more frequently if clinically indicated.

Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold, resume at reduced dose, or permanently discontinue FYARRO.

Infections

FYARRO can cause infections. Infections such as urinary tract infections (UTI), upper respiratory tract infections and sinusitis occurred in 59% of patients. Grade 3 infections occurred in 12% of patients, including a single case each of a UTI, pneumonia, skin, and abdominal infections.

Monitor patients for infections, including opportunistic infections. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold, resume at reduced dose, or permanently discontinue FYARRO .

Hypokalemia

FYARRO can cause hypokalemia. Hypokalemia occurred in 44% of patients, including 12% Grade 3 events. Monitor potassium levels prior to starting FYARRO and implement potassium supplementation as medically indicated.

Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold, resume at reduced dose, or permanently discontinue FYARRO .

Hyperglycemia

FYARRO can cause hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia occurred in 12% of patients treated with FYARRO, all of which were Grade 3 events. Monitor fasting serum glucose prior to starting FYARRO. During treatment, monitor serum glucose every 3 months in non-diabetic patients, or as clinically indicated.

Monitor serum glucose more frequently in diabetic patients. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold, resume at reduced dose, or permanently discontinue FYARRO .

Interstitial Lung Disease / Non-Infectious Pneumonitis

FYARRO can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD) / non-infectious pneumonitis. ILD / non-infectious pneumonitis occurred in 18% of patients treated with FYARRO, of which all were Grades 1 or 2. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold, resume at reduced dose, or permanently discontinue FYARRO .

Hemorrhage

FYARRO can cause serious and sometimes fatal hemorrhage. Hemorrhage occurred in 24% of patients treated with FYARRO, including Grade 3 and Grade 5 events in 2.9% of patients each . Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hemorrhage. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold, resume at reduced dose, or permanently discontinue FYARRO .

Hypersensitivity Reactions

FYARRO can cause hypersensitivity reactions. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic, angioedema, exfoliative dermatitis and hypersensitivity vasculitis have been observed with administration of the oral formulation of sirolimus. Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have been observed with human albumin administration.

Monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of infusion reactions during and following each FYARRO infusion in a setting where cardiopulmonary resuscitation medication and equipment are available. Monitor patients for at least 2 hours after the first infusion and as clinically needed for each subsequent infusion. Reduce the rate, interrupt infusion, or permanently discontinue FYARRO based on severity and institute appropriate medical management as needed.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on animal studies and the mechanism of action , FYARRO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal studies, mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (mTOR) inhibitors caused embryo-fetal toxicity when administered during the period of organogenesis at maternal exposures that were equal to or less than human exposures at the recommended lowest starting dose. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

Advise females of reproductive potential to avoid becoming pregnant and to use effective contraception while using FYARRO and for 12 weeks after the last dose . 5.10 Male Infertility Azoospermia or oligospermia may be observed in patients treated with FYARRO . FYARRO is an anti-proliferative drug and affects rapidly dividing cells such as germ cells. 5.11 Immunizations and Risks Associated with Live Vaccines No studies in conjunction with immunization have been conducted with FYARRO. Immunization during FYARRO treatment may be ineffective. Update immunizations according to immunization guidelines prior to initiating FYARRO, if possible. Immunization with live vaccines is not recommended during treatment and avoid close contact with those who have received live vaccines while on FYARRO. The interval between live vaccinations and initiation of FYARRO should be in accordance with current vaccination guidelines for patients on immunosuppressive therapies. 5.12 Risk of Transmission of Infectious Agents with Human Albumin FYARRO contains human albumin, a derivative of human blood.

Human albumin carries only a remote risk of transmission of viral diseases because of effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes. A theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) also is considered extremely remote. No cases of transmission of viral diseases or CJD have ever been associated with albumin.

Drug Interactions with Fyarro

Effects of Other Drugs on

FYARRO CYP3A4 and/or P-gp Inhibitors or Inducers CYP3A4 and/or P-gp inhibitors may increase sirolimus concentrations, which may increase the risk of FYARRO adverse reactions. CYP3A4 and/or P-gp inducers may decrease sirolimus concentrations, which may reduce FYARRO effectiveness. Strong CYP3A4 and/or P-gp Inhibitors or Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of FYARRO with strong CYP3A4 and/or P-gp inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 and/or P-gp inducers . Grapefruit or Grapefruit Juice: Avoid concomitant use of FYARRO with grapefruit or grapefruit juice.

Moderate or Weak CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Reduce the dosage of FYARRO when used concomitantly with a moderate or weak CYP3A4 inhibitor . Moderate or Weak CYP3A4 Inducers: Use of FYARRO may result in decreased effectiveness.

Pregnancy Safety for Fyarro

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal studies and the mechanism of action, FYARRO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman . Although there are no data on the use of FYARRO in pregnant women, there are limited data on the use of sirolimus during pregnancy. In animal studies, oral sirolimus was embryo/fetotoxic in rats at sub-therapeutic doses. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. 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 Reproductive studies in animals have not been performed with FYARRO. Studies with an oral formulation of sirolimus have shown that it crosses the placenta and is toxic to the conceptus.

In rat embryo-fetal development studies, pregnant rats were administered an oral formulation of sirolimus during the period of organogenesis (Gestational Day 6-15). Sirolimus produced embryo-fetal lethality at 0.5 mg/kg and reduced fetal weight at 1 mg/kg. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for fetal toxicity in rats was 0.1 mg/kg. Maternal toxicity (weight loss) was observed at 2 mg/kg.

The NOAEL for maternal toxicity was 1 mg/kg. In rabbit embryo-fetal development studies, pregnant rabbits were administered an oral formulation of sirolimus during the period of organogenesis (Gestational Day 6-18). There were no effects on embryo-fetal development at doses up to 0.05 mg/kg; however, at doses of 0.05 mg/kg and above, the ability to sustain a pregnancy was impaired (i.e., embryo-fetal abortion or early resorption). Maternal toxicity (decreased body weight) was observed at 0.05 mg/kg. The NOAEL for maternal toxicity was 0.025 mg/kg.

In a pre- and post-natal development study in rats, pregnant females were dosed with an oral formation of sirolimus during gestation and lactation (Gestational Day 6 through Lactation Day 20). An increased incidence of dead pups occurred at 0.5 mg/kg, resulting in reduced live litter size. At 0.1 mg/kg, there were no adverse effects on offspring. Sirolimus did not cause maternal toxicity or affect developmental parameters in the surviving offspring (e.g., morphological development, motor activity, learning, or fertility assessment) at 0.5 mg/kg, the highest oral dose tested.

Pediatric Use of Fyarro

Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of FYARRO in pediatric patients have not been established.

Contraindications for Fyarro

is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity to sirolimus, other rapamycin derivatives, or albumin . History of severe hypersensitivity to sirolimus, other rapamycin derivatives, or albumin.

Clinical Studies of Fyarro

Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumor (PEComa)

The efficacy of FYARRO was assessed in AMPECT (NCT02494570), a multi-center, single-arm clinical trial in 31 patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic malignant PEComa. Patients were required to have measurable disease at baseline, centrally confirmed diagnosis by pathology of malignant PEComa, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of 0 or 1. Patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis and prior treatment with a mTOR inhibitor were excluded. Patients received FYARRO at a dose of 100 mg/m 2 on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The efficacy population of 31 patients had the following demographic characteristics: median age 60 years (range 34 to 78), 81% female, 74% White, 10% Black, and 81% ECOG PS of 0. Five (16%) patients had locally advanced disease and 26 (84%) had metastatic disease. Ninety-four percent of patients had prior surgery,19% had prior radiation therapy, and 13% had prior systemic therapy. The major efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using RECIST v.1.1. The efficacy results are summarized in Table 6. Table 6. Efficacy Results in AMPECT * All responses were initially partial responses.
