Uses of Modeyso

MODEYSO is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with diffuse midline glioma harboring an H3 K27M mutation with progressive disease following prior therapy. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

Dosage & Administration of Modeyso

Patient Selection

Select patients for treatment with MODEYSO based on the presence of an H3 K27M mutation from tumor specimens. An FDA-approved test for the detection of this mutation is not currently available.

Recommended Testing Before Starting MODEYSO

Monitor electrocardiograms (ECG) and electrolytes before starting MODEYSO and periodically during treatment as clinically indicated.

Recommended Dosage and Administration Take MODEYSO on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 3 hours after food intake. Adults The recommended dosage of MODEYSO is 625 mg orally once weekly. A recommended dosage of MODEYSO has not been established in pediatric patients who weigh less than 10 kg.

Table 1: Recommended Body Weight-Based Dosage for Pediatric Patients Continue MODEYSO until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Swallow capsules whole. For patients unable to swallow capsules whole, open each capsule, mix contents with approximately 15 to 30 mL of liquid (sports drink, apple juice, lemonade, or water) before administration, and administer orally as a liquid.

Once mixed, administer within 2 hours of preparation, or discard and mix a new dose. Vomiting If vomiting occurs after taking a dose, do not take an additional dose and take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Missed Dose If a dose is missed within 2 days, take the missed dose as soon as possible.

If a dose is missed by more than 2 days, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the scheduled time.

Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions

The recommended dosage reductions for adverse reactions for MODEYSO are provided in Table 2. Table 2: The recommended dosage modifications for adverse reactions are provided in Table 3. Table 3: a.

National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0. b. See Table 2 for recommended dosage reductions.

Dosage Modifications for CYP3A4 Inhibitors

Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with MODEYSO. • If concomitant use of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided for adult and pediatric patients who weigh at least 52.5 kg, reduce the dose of MODEYSO from 625 mg to 375 mg once weekly. • If concomitant use of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided for adult and pediatric patients who weigh at least 52.5 kg, reduce the dose of MODEYSO from 625 mg to 500 mg once weekly. • The recommended dosage for pediatric patients weighing less than 52.5 kg who are receiving strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors has not been established. Upon discontinuation of the CYP3A4 inhibitor, wait for 3 to 5 plasma half-lives of the CYP3A4 inhibitor, then increase MODEYSO to the dose that was taken before starting the CYP3A4 inhibitor.

Side Effects of Modeyso

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 pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below reflects exposure to MODEYSO at the recommended weight-based dose taken until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in 376 adult and pediatric patients with glioma across four open-label clinical studies (ONC006, ONC013, ONC014, and ONC018). Karnofsky/Lansky Performance Status (KPS/LPS) score was 80 to 100 in 66% of patients, Serious adverse reactions occurred in 33% of patients who received MODEYSO.

Permanent discontinuation of MODEYSO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2.1% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of MODEYSO in >1 patient included confusional state. Dosage interruptions of MODEYSO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 6% of patients.

Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >1 patient included increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, decreased lymphocyte count, muscular weakness, and aspiration pneumonia. Dose reductions of MODEYSO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2.7% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in >1 patient included decreased neutrophil count and increased alanine aminotransferase.

The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were fatigue, headache, vomiting, nausea, and musculoskeletal pain. The most common (≥2%) Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities were decreased lymphocytes, decreased calcium, and increased alanine aminotransferase. Adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients treated with MODEYSO are presented in Table 4.

Warnings & Cautions for Modeyso

Hypersensitivity MODEYSO can cause severe hypersensitivity reactions. In the pooled safety population, Grade 3 hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 0.3% of patients receiving MODEYSO. Signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity may include rash, hives, fever, low blood pressure, wheezing, or swelling of the face or throat.

Inform patients about the signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and instruct them to seek immediate medical attention if symptoms occur. If clinically significant hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis occur, immediately interrupt MODEYSO and initiate appropriate medical treatment and supportive care. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, temporarily interrupt or permanently discontinue MODEYSO.

QTc Interval Prolongation

MODEYSO causes a concentration-dependent QTc interval prolongation, which can increase the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., torsades de pointes) or sudden death. In the pooled safety population, of the 82 patients who underwent at least one post-baseline ECG assessment, 6% experienced an increase in QTc of >60 msec compared to baseline after receiving MODEYSO and 1.2% had an increase in QTc to >500 msec. Monitor ECGs and electrolytes prior to starting MODEYSO and then periodically during treatment as clinically indicated.

Significant prolongation of the QT interval may occur when MODEYSO is taken concomitantly with other products that have a known potential to prolong the QT interval. Avoid concomitant use of MODEYSO with products known to prolong the QT interval. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, separate administration of MODEYSO and the QT-prolonging product.

Increase the frequency of monitoring when administering MODEYSO to patients taking other products that have a known potential to prolong the QT interval and in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, existing QTc prolongation, a history of ventricular arrhythmias, electrolyte abnormalities, heart failure, or who are taking strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. Interrupt or reduce the dose of MODEYSO in patients who develop QT prolongation, and permanently discontinue MODEYSO in patients with signs of life-threatening arrhythmias.

Embryo-fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, MODEYSO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of dordaviprone to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal mortality, alterations to growth, and structural abnormalities at exposures below the human exposure at the highest recommended dose. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus.

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with MODEYSO and for 1 month after the last dose.

Drug Interactions with Modeyso

Effect of Other Drugs on MODEYSO Table 6 describes drug interactions where concomitant use of another drug affects MODEYSO. Table 6: Effect of Other Drugs on MODEYSO Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors Prevention or Management • Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with MODEYSO. • If concomitant use cannot be avoided for adults and pediatric patients who weigh at least 52.5 kg, reduce the MODEYSO dose as recommended. Mechanism and Clinical Effects • Dordaviprone is a CYP3A4 substrate. • Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors increase dordaviprone exposure, which may increase the risk of MODEYSO‑related adverse reactions.

Mechanism and Clinical Effects • Dordaviprone is a CYP3A4 substrate. • Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers decrease dordaviprone exposure, which may reduce the anti-tumor activity of MODEYSO.

Pregnancy Safety for Modeyso

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, MODEYSO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on MODEYSO use in pregnant women to inform a drug‑associated risk. In animal embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of dordaviprone to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis caused embryofetal mortality, alterations to growth, and structural abnormalities at exposures below the human exposure at the highest recommended 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 respectively. Dordaviprone caused maternal mortality, pre-implantation loss, and embryo-fetal toxicity of absent eye and small renal papillae at the 125 mg/kg/day dose (≥2 times the human recommended doses based on body surface area).

In an embryo-fetal development study, dordaviprone was administered orally to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 7 to 19 at doses of mg/kg/day. Dordaviprone caused maternal mortality, embryo‑fetal mortality, lower fetal weights, and structural malformations of the face, limbs, vessels, brain, and heart at doses of ≥10 mg/kg/day (≥0.4 times the human exposure at the highest recommended dose based on C max ).

Pediatric Use of Modeyso

Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of MODEYSO has been established in pediatric patients aged 1 year and older for the treatment of diffuse midline glioma harboring an H3 K27M mutation. The efficacy of MODEYSO was evaluated in 4 pediatric patients aged 9 to 17 years with diffuse midline glioma harboring an H3 K27M mutation. Safety was evaluated in 154 pediatric patients with glioma aged 3 to 17 years who received MODEYSO at the recommended dose across four open‑label clinical studies (ONC006, ONC013, ONC014, and ONC018).

No additional safety signals were observed in pediatric patients. The exposure of dordaviprone in pediatric patients weighing 10 kg and higher is predicted to be within the range of exposures predicted in adults at the recommended dosage. The safety and effectiveness of MODEYSO have not been established in pediatric patients less than 1 year of age.

Clinical Studies of Modeyso

The efficacy of MODEYSO was evaluated in adult and pediatric patients with glioma across five open‑label, non-randomized clinical studies conducted in the U.S. (ONC006, ONC013, ONC014, ONC016, and ONC018 ). Pre-specified criteria were defined to establish an integrated efficacy population; eligible patients were required to have received single-agent MODEYSO, have diffuse midline glioma harboring an H3 K27M mutation with progressive and measurable disease per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology-High Grade Glioma (RANO-HGG) criteria, be ≥90 days post‑radiation therapy, have adequate washout from prior anticancer therapies, have a Karnofsky Performance Status/Lansky Performance Status (KPS/LPS) score ≥60, and have stable or decreasing corticosteroid use. Patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), primary spinal tumors, atypical histologies, or cerebrospinal fluid dissemination were excluded.

Patients received weight-based dosing of MODEYSO until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The integrated efficacy population included 50 patients who met these criteria. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR) assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) according to RANO 2.0 criteria.

Additional efficacy outcome measures were BICR-assessed ORR according to RANO-HGG criteria and Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology-Low Grade Glioma (RANO-LGG) criteria, duration of response, and time to response. Efficacy results are shown in Table 8. Table 8: Efficacy Results for Patients with Diffuse Midline Glioma Harboring an H3 K27M Mutation in Studies ONC006, ONC013, ONC014, ONC016, and ONC018 per RANO 2.0 Abbreviations: BICR=blinded independent central review; CI=confidence interval; RANO=Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology. a.

Confirmed overall response rate assessed by BICR; CI based on Clopper-Pearson method. b. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimate. c. Based on observed time.

Among responders, the median time to response was 3.6 months (range 1.6, 15.6). Using BICR-assessed RANO 2.0 criteria, there was one additional responder based on the integrated response assessment, which takes into account corticosteroid use and performance status. Based on BICR-assessed RANO-HGG criteria (n=50), the ORR was complete and 9 partial responses.

Based on BICR-assessed RANO-LGG criteria (n=50), the ORR was partial and 5 minor responses.
