Odomzo Drug Information

(sonidegib) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that has recurred following surgery or radiation therapy, or those who are not candidates for surgery or radiation therapy. ODOMZO is a hedgehog pathway inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that has recurred following surgery or radiation therapy, or those who are not candidates for surgery or radiation therapy.

Important Safety Information Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential

prior to initiating ODOMZO .

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage of ODOMZO is 200 mg taken orally once daily on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal, administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Obtain serum creatine kinase (CK) levels and renal function tests prior to initiating ODOMZO in all patients. If a dose of ODOMZO is missed, resume dosing with the next scheduled dose.

Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Interrupt

ODOMZO for Severe or intolerable musculoskeletal adverse reactions. First occurrence of serum CK elevation between 2.5 and 10 times upper limit of normal (ULN). Recurrent serum CK elevation between 2.5 and 5 times ULN. Resume ODOMZO at 200 mg daily upon resolution of clinical signs and symptoms. Permanently discontinue ODOMZO for Serum CK elevation greater than 2.5 times ULN with worsening renal function.

Serum CK elevation greater than 10 times ULN. Recurrent serum CK elevation greater than 5 times ULN. Recurrent severe or intolerable musculoskeletal adverse reactions.

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 clinical practice. The safety of ODOMZO was evaluated in BOLT, a randomized, double-blind, multiple cohort trial in which 229 patients received ODOMZO at either 200 mg (n=79) or 800 mg (n=150) daily. The frequency of common adverse reactions including muscle spasms, alopecia, dysgeusia, fatigue, nausea, decreased weight, decreased appetite, myalgia, pain, and vomiting was greater in patients treated with ODOMZO 800 mg as compared to 200 mg.

The data described below reflect exposure to ODOMZO 200 mg daily in 79 patients with locally advanced BCC (laBCC; n=66) or metastatic BCC (mBCC; n=13) enrolled in BOLT. Patients were followed for at least 18 months unless discontinued earlier. The median duration of treatment with ODOMZO was 11.0 months (range 1.3 to 33.5 months). The study population characteristics were: median age of 67 years (range 25 to 92; 59% were ≥65 years), 61% male, and 90% white. The majority of patients had prior surgery (75%), radiotherapy (24%), systemic chemotherapy (4%), or topical or photodynamic therapies (18%) for treatment of BCC. No patient had prior exposure to a Hh pathway inhibitor.

ODOMZO was permanently discontinued in 34% of patients or temporarily interrupted in 20% of patients for adverse reactions. Adverse reactions reported in at least two patients that led to discontinuation of the drug were: muscle spasms, and dysgeusia (each 5%), asthenia, increased lipase, and nausea (each 4%), fatigue, decreased appetite, alopecia, and decreased weight (each 3%). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 18% of patients. The most common adverse reactions occurring in ≥10% of patients treated with ODOMZO 200 mg were muscle spasms, alopecia, dysgeusia, fatigue, nausea, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, decreased weight, decreased appetite, myalgia, abdominal pain, headache, pain, vomiting, and pruritus (Table 1). The key laboratory abnormalities are described in Table 2.

Effects of Other Drugs on

ODOMZO Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant administration of ODOMZO with strong CYP3A inhibitors. Avoid concomitant administration of ODOMZO with moderate CYP3A inhibitors. If a moderate CYP3A inhibitor must be used, administer the moderate CYP3A inhibitor for less than 14 days and monitor closely for adverse reactions particularly musculoskeletal adverse reactions.

Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant administration of ODOMZO with strong and moderate CYP3A inducers.

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action and data from animal reproduction studies, ODOMZO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of ODOMZO in pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of sonidegib during organogenesis at doses below the recommended human dose of 200 mg resulted in embryotoxicity, fetotoxicity, and teratogenicity in rabbits (see Data). Teratogenic effects observed included severe midline defects, missing digits, and other irreversible malformations.

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Report pregnancies to Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. at 1-800-406-7984. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects is 2-4% and of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 15-20%. Data Animal Data Daily oral administration of sonidegib to pregnant rabbits resulted in abortion, complete resorption of fetuses, or severe malformations at ≥ 5 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.05 times the recommended human dose based on AUC). Teratogenic effects included vertebral, distal limb and digit malformations, severe craniofacial malformations, and other severe midline defects. Skeletal variations were observed when maternal exposure to sonidegib was below the limit of detection.

Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ODOMZO have not been established in pediatric patients. Epiphyseal disorders, including premature fusion of the epiphyses, have been reported in pediatric patients exposed to ODOMZO in a clinical trial. In some cases, pediatric patients treated with other Hh pathway inhibitors have experienced progression of epiphyseal fusion despite discontinuation of the Hh pathway inhibitor.

Juvenile Animal Data In a 5-week juvenile rat toxicology study, effects of sonidegib were observed in bone, teeth, reproductive tissues, and nerves at doses ≥10 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.2 times the recommended human dose based on AUC). Bone findings included thinning/closure of bone growth plate, decreased bone length and width, and hyperostosis. Findings in teeth included missing or fractured teeth, and atrophy. Reproductive tissue toxicity was evidenced by atrophy of testes, ovaries, and uterus, partial development of the prostate gland and seminal vesicles, and inflammation and aspermia of the epididymis.

Nerve degeneration was also noted.
