Koselugo Drug Information

KOSELUGO is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN).

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage of KOSELUGO capsules ( see Table 1 ) and KOSELUGO oral granules ( see Table 2 ) for adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older, based on body surface area, is 25 mg/m 2 orally twice daily, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Table 1 Recommended Dosage:

Administration KOSELUGO is available in two dosage forms

KOSELUGO capsules and KOSELUGO oral granules. Prescribe KOSELUGO oral granules for patients who have difficulty swallowing whole capsules. KOSELUGO Capsules • Administer KOSELUGO capsules to patients who can swallow a whole capsule. • Swallow KOSELUGO capsules whole.

Do not open, chew or crush KOSELUGO capsules. • KOSELUGO capsules may be administered with or without food. KOSELUGO Oral Granules Administer KOSELUGO oral granules to patients who have difficulty swallowing a whole capsule. Sprinkle KOSELUGO oral granules on or mix with a small amount (about 1 to 3 teaspoons) of smooth yogurt, or fruit puree containing the following fruits: apple, banana, pear, or strawberry and consume within 30 minutes of preparation.

If not consumed within 30 minutes of preparation, discard and prepare a new dose. The KOSELUGO oral granules should be free-flowing. Do NOT use if the oral granules are clumped or stuck inside the capsule shell.

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 NF1 PN pediatric safety pool described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to. The most common adverse reactions in pediatric patients (≥ 40%) are vomiting, diarrhea, increased creatine phosphokinase, dry skin, paronychia, nausea, dermatitis acneiform, and pyrexia.

In the KOMET adult NF1 PN study, 71 adult patients received KOSELUGO at the recommended dosage. The most common adverse reactions in adult patients (≥ 40%) are rash (all), dermatitis acneiform, and diarrhea. Eligible patients were 2-18 years of age with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who had inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN) that was causing significant morbidity.

Patients were excluded for abnormal LVEF, uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure ≥ the 95th percentile for age, height, and sex), any current or past history of RVO or RPED, intraocular pressure > 21 mmHg (or upper limit of normal adjusted by age), uncontrolled glaucoma, and inability to swallow whole capsules. Patients received KOSELUGO 25 mg/m 2 orally twice daily (N = 50). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 24% of patients who received KOSELUGO.

Serious adverse reactions that occurred in 2 or more patients were anemia, hypoxia and diarrhea. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 12% of patients who received KOSELUGO. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of KOSELUGO included increased blood creatinine, increased weight, diarrhea, paronychia, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, acute kidney injury, and skin ulcer.

Adverse reactions requiring a dosage interruption or reduction in ≥ 5% of patients were vomiting, paronychia, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, rash, skin infection, influenza-like illness, pyrexia and weight gain. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 40%) were vomiting, rash (all), abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, dry skin, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, pyrexia, acneiform rash, stomatitis, headache, paronychia, and pruritus. Table 10 presents the adverse reactions in SPRINT Phase II Stratum 1.

Table 10 Clinically relevant adverse reactions that occurred < 20% of patients include: • Eye: visual impairment and subretinal fluid. • Gastrointestinal Disorders: dry mouth. • General Disorders: facial edema, including periorbital edema and face edema. • Metabolism and Nutrition: increased weight. • Renal and Urinary System: acute kidney injury. • Respiratory, Thoracic & Mediastinal: dyspnea, including exertional dyspnea and dyspnea at rest. • Vascular: hypertension. Table 11 presents the laboratory abnormalities in SPRINT Phase II Stratum 1. Table 11 Select Laboratory Abnormalities (≥ 15%) Worsening from Baseline in Patients Who Received was evaluated in KOMET.

Eligible patients were 18 years of age or older with NF1 who had symptomatic, inoperable PN. Serious adverse reactions occurring in more than one patient included cellulitis (2.8%). Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of KOSELUGO included dermatitis acneiform, cellulitis, nausea, wound, neurofibrosarcoma, neurofibrosarcoma recurrent, psychiatric decompensation, ulcerative keratitis, and nail disorder.

Dosage interruptions and dose reductions due to adverse reactions occurred in 27% and 14% of patients who received KOSELUGO, respectively. Adverse reactions requiring a dosage reduction in 2 or more patients were paronychia, increased CPK, increased ALT, increased AST, rash, and alopecia. Adverse reactions requiring a dosage interruption in 2 or more patients were increased CPK, rash, headache, abdominal pain, nausea, and COVID‑19.

Table 12 presents the adverse reactions in the KOMET study. The 12 cycle (48 weeks) randomization period for KOSELUGO versus placebo was followed by a single arm treatment period where all patients received KOSELUGO (placebo patients crossed over to KOSELUGO at end of the randomized period). No new adverse reactions were identified during the open-label period.

Decreased ejection fraction in patients who received KOSELUGO versus placebo based on reported echocardiogram results occurred in 14% and 11% of patients, respectively. Table 13 presents the laboratory abnormalities in the KOMET study. Table 13 Select Laboratory Abnormalities (≥ 15%) That Worsened from Baseline in Patients Who Received KOSELUGO with a Difference Between Arms of > 10% Compared to Placebo in KOMET oral granules was evaluated in SPRINKLE (NCT05309668), a dose-finding and activity estimating, single-arm, multicenter study in 36 pediatric patients ages 1 year to less than 7 years with a clinical diagnosis of NF1- related symptomatic, inoperable PN.

The study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, efficacy, and tolerability of KOSELUGO oral granules. Study patients were to receive KOSELUGO oral granules for 25 cycles at a dose equivalent to 25 mg/m 2 BSA twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In the SPRINKLE study, the median duration of KOSELUGO oral granules treatment in pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) plexiform neurofibromas (PN) was 11 months (range: 3-25 months).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 1 patient each and included pyrexia, gastroenteritis and upper respiratory infection. A total of 31% of patients had an adverse reaction leading to a dosage interruption. Adverse reactions requiring a dosage interruption in ≥ 5% of patients were pyrexia, vomiting, diarrhea, upper respiratory infection, gastroenteritis and eczema.

The observed safety profile of KOSELUGO oral granules in the SPRINKLE study was consistent with the known safety profile of KOSELUGO capsules.

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of KOSELUGO. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. • Eye disorders: RPED/CSR including detachment of retinal pigment epithelium, central serous chorioretinopathy, serous retinal detachment, serous retinopathy, and retinal detachment.

Effect of Other Drugs on KOSELUGO Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors or Fluconazole Management • Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or fluconazole with KOSELUGO. If coadministration with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or fluconazole cannot be avoided, reduce KOSELUGO dosage. Clinical Impact • Concomitant use of KOSELUGO with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor or fluconazole increased selumetinib plasma concentrations, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions.

Clinical Impact • Concomitant use of KOSELUGO with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer decreased selumetinib plasma concentrations, which may reduce KOSELUGO efficacy. Vitamin E Management • Supplemental vitamin E is not recommended if daily vitamin E intake (including the amount of vitamin E in KOSELUGO capsules and supplement) will exceed the recommended or safe limits. • Monitor for bleeding in patients administered a vitamin‑K antagonist or an anti‑platelet agent with KOSELUGO capsules. Increase INR monitoring, as appropriate, in patients taking a vitamin‑K antagonist.

Clinical Impact • KOSELUGO capsules contain vitamin E and daily vitamin E intake that exceeds the recommended or safe limits may increase the risk of bleeding.

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, KOSELUGO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of KOSELUGO in pregnant women to evaluate drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of selumetinib to mice during organogenesis caused reduced fetal weight, adverse structural defects, and effects on embryofetal survival at exposures approximately > 5 times the human exposure at the clinical dose of 25 mg/m 2 twice daily ( see Data ).

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is respectively. Data Human Data In KOMET, a first trimester spontaneous abortion was reported in a patient receiving KOSELUGO.

Animal Data In embryo-fetal development studies in mice at doses > 2.5 mg/kg twice daily (~5-times the human exposure based on area under the curve at the clinical dose of 25 mg/m 2 twice daily), selumetinib caused increases in post-implantation loss, a reduction in mean fetal and litter weights, and an increased occurrence of open eye and cleft palate, but did not induce significant maternal toxicity. Administration of selumetinib to pregnant mice from gestation Day 6 through lactation Day 20 resulted in reduced pup body weights and fewer pups met the pupil constriction criterion on day 21 post-partum. The incidence of malformations (e.g., prematurely open eye(s) and cleft palate) was increased even at the lowest dose of 0.5 mg/kg twice daily (maternal maximal concentration of ~0.6 times the human C max at the clinical dose of 25 mg/m 2 twice daily).

Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness have been established in pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with NF1 who have inoperable PN and the information on this use is discussed throughout the labeling. The safety and effectiveness of KOSELUGO have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 1 year of age. Animal Toxicity Data In 3-month general toxicology studies, male rats receiving selumetinib at doses ≥ 10 mg/kg daily (~60-times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 25 mg/m 2 twice daily) showed growth plate dysplasia.

Dialysis is not effective as KOSELUGO is highly protein bound and is extensively metabolized.
