Warnings & Cautions for Modeyso
- Hypersensitivity: If clinically significant hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis occur, immediately discontinue MODEYSO and initiate appropriate medical treatment and supportive care. ( 5.1 )
- QTc Interval Prolongation: MODEYSO causes concentration dependent QTc interval prolongation. 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. ( 5.2 , 12.2 )
- Embryo-fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity MODEYSO can cause severe hypersensitivity reactions. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )], 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 [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] . 5.2 QTc Interval Prolongation MODEYSO causes a concentration-dependent QTc interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] , which can increase the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., torsades de pointes) or sudden death. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] , 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 [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . 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 [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] . 5.3 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. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with MODEYSO and for 1 month after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 )] .
Drug Interactions with Modeyso
- CYP3A4 Inhibitors: 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 dose of MODEYSO as recommended. ( 2.5 , 7.1 )
- CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers with MODEYSO. ( 7.1 )
- Drugs Known to Prolong QTc Interval: Avoid concomitant use of MODEYSO with products known to prolong the QTc interval. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, separate administration of MODEYSO and the QT-prolonging product. ( 5.2 , 7.2 , 12.2 ) 7.1 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 [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )] . Mechanism and Clinical Effects
- Dordaviprone is a CYP3A4 substrate.
- Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors increase dordaviprone exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of MODEYSO‑related adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Prevention or Management
- Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers with MODEYSO . Mechanism and Clinical Effects
- Dordaviprone is a CYP3A4 substrate.
- Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers decrease dordaviprone exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce the anti-tumor activity of MODEYSO. 7.2 Drugs Known to Prolong QTc Interval Table 7 describes drug interactions associated with QTc interval prolongation when used concomitantly with MODEYSO. Table 7: Products that Prolong QTc Interval Products that Prolong QTc Interval Prevention or Management
- Avoid concomitant use of MODEYSO with products known to prolong the QTc interval.
- If concomitant use cannot be avoided, separate administration of MODEYSO and the QT-prolonging product [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . Clinical Impact
- MODEYSO causes concentration dependent QTc interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] .
- Concomitant use of MODEYSO with other QT-prolonging products may increase the risk of QTc-associated arrhythmias [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .
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 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, dordaviprone was administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 7 to 17 at doses of 25, 62.5, and 125 mg/kg/day. 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 10, 25, 62.5, and 100 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). Of these 154 patients, 73% were 3 to 11 years of age and 27% were 12 to 17 years of age. 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.
