Side Effects of Onivyde
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of ONIVYDE cannot be directly compared to rates in clinical trials of other drugs and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma In Combination with Oxaliplatin, Fluorouracil and Leucovorin for First-Line Treatment The safety of ONIVYDE in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who had not previously received chemotherapy was evaluated in NAPOLI 3. The median duration of exposure to ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin was 24 weeks (range: 0 to 101 weeks).
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 54% of patients who received ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin. Permanent discontinuation of ONIVYDE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 17% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of ONIVYDE in ≥1% of patients included neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, fatigue, infections and cerebrovascular accident.
Dosage reduction of ONIVYDE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 52% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage reduction in ≥1% of patients included anemia, decreased appetite, diarrhea, fatigue, febrile neutropenia, hypokalemia, liver function test abnormalities, nausea, mucosal inflammation, neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy, vomiting, thrombocytopenia and weight decreased. Dosage interruptions of ONIVYDE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 1.9% of patients.
Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥0.5% of patients included hypersensitivity and infusion related reaction. The most common adverse reactions (≥20% with a difference between arms of ≥ 5% for all grades or ≥ 2% for Grades 3 or 4 compared to Gem+NabP) of ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin were diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, abdominal pain, mucosal inflammation, constipation and decreased weight. The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥10% Grade 3 or 4) were decreased neutrophils, decreased potassium, decreased lymphocyte and decreased hemoglobin.
Table 3 and 4 summarize the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in the NAPOLI 3 study. Table 3 Adverse Reactions NCI CTCAE v5.0 (≥ 20%) in Patients with Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma who Received NALIRIFOX NALIRIFOX=ONIVYDE+oxaliplatin/5-fluorouracil/leucovorin; Gem+NabP=gemcitabine+nab-paclitaxel with a Difference Between Arms of ≥5% for All Grades or ≥ 2% for Grades 3 and 4 versus Gem+NabP in NAPOLI 3 Table 4 Laboratory Abnormalities in Patients with Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma who Received NALIRIFOX NALIRIFOX=ONIVYDE+oxaliplatin/5-fluorouracil/leucovorin; Gem+NabP=gemcitabine+nab-paclitaxel with a difference between arms of ≥ 5% versus Gem+NabP in NAPOLI 3 Each test incidence is based on the number of patients who had both baseline and at least one on-study laboratory measurement available: 3 In Combination with Fluorouracil and Leucovorin after Progresssion on Gemcitabine or Gemcitabine-based Therapy The safety data described below are derived from patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma previously treated with gemcitabine-based therapy who received any part of protocol-specified therapy in NAPOLI-1, an international, randomized, active-controlled, open-label trial. Serum bilirubin within the institutional normal range, albumin ≥ 3 g/dL, and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 70 were required for study entry.
The median duration of exposure was 9 weeks in the ONIVYDE/FU/LV arm, 9 weeks in the ONIVYDE monotherapy arm, and 6 weeks in the FU/LV arm. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) of ONIVYDE were diarrhea, fatigue/asthenia, vomiting, nausea, decreased appetite, stomatitis, and pyrexia. The most common, severe laboratory abnormalities (≥ 10% Grade 3 or 4) were lymphopenia and neutropenia.
The most common serious adverse reactions (≥ 2%) of ONIVYDE were diarrhea, vomiting, neutropenic fever or neutropenic sepsis, nausea, pyrexia, sepsis, dehydration, septic shock, pneumonia, acute renal failure, and thrombocytopenia. Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of ONIVYDE in 11% of patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV; the most frequent adverse reactions resulting in discontinuation of ONIVYDE were diarrhea, vomiting, and sepsis. Dose reductions of ONIVYDE for adverse reactions occurred in 33% of patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV; the most frequent adverse reactions requiring dose reductions were neutropenia, diarrhea, nausea, and anemia.
ONIVYDE was withheld or delayed for adverse reactions in 62% of patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV; the most frequent adverse reactions requiring interruption or delays were neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, vomiting, and thrombocytopenia. Table 5 Adverse Reactions with Higher Incidence (≥5% Difference for Grades 1-4 NCI CTCAE v4.0 or ≥2% Difference for Grades 3 and 4) in the ONIVYDE/FU/LV Arm s Clinically relevant adverse reactions occurring in <5% of patients include: Cholinergic Reactions: ONIVYDE can cause cholinergic reactions manifesting as rhinitis, increased salivation, flushing, bradycardia, miosis, lacrimation, diaphoresis, and intestinal hyperperistalsis with abdominal cramping and early onset diarrhea. Six of these 12 patients received atropine and in 1 of the 6 patients, atropine was administered for cholinergic symptoms other than diarrhea.
Infusion Reactions: Infusion reactions, consisting of rash, urticaria, periorbital edema, or pruritus, occurring on the day of ONIVYDE administration were reported in 3% of patients receiving ONIVYDE or ONIVYDE/FU/LV. Laboratory abnormalities that occurred with higher incidence in the ONIVYDE/FU/LV arm compared to the FU/LV arm (≥5% difference) are summarized in the following table.

Warnings & Cautions for Onivyde
Severe Neutropenia ONIVYDE can cause severe or life-threatening neutropenia and fatal neutropenic sepsis. In NAPOLI-1, Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia occurred in 20% of patients receiving ONIVYDE in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin (ONIVYDE/FU/LV). Neutropenic sepsis occurred in 3% and fatal neutropenic sepsis in 0.8%.
In NAPOLI 3, the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was similar among Asian patients compared to White patients receiving ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin. In NAPOLI-1, the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was higher among Asian patients compared to White patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV. Neutropenic fever/neutropenic sepsis was reported in 6% of Asian patients compared to 1% of White patients.
Monitor complete blood cell counts on Days 1 and 8 of every cycle and more frequently if clinically indicated. Withhold ONIVYDE if the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is below 1500/mm 3 or if neutropenic fever occurs. Resume ONIVYDE when the ANC is 1500/mm 3 or above.
Reduce ONIVYDE dose for Grade 3-4 neutropenia or neutropenic fever following recovery in subsequent cycles.
Severe Diarrhea ONIVYDE can cause severe and life-threatening diarrhea. Do not administer ONIVYDE to patients with a bowel obstruction. Severe or life-threatening diarrhea can follow one of two patterns: late onset diarrhea (onset more than 24 hours following chemotherapy) and early onset diarrhea (onset within 24 hours of chemotherapy, sometimes occurring with other symptoms of cholinergic reaction).
An individual patient may experience both early and late-onset diarrhea. In NAPOLI-1, Grade 3 or 4 diarrhea occurred in 13% receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV. The incidence of Grade 3 or 4 late onset diarrhea was 9% in patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV.
Of patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV in NAPOLI-1, 34% received loperamide for late-onset diarrhea and 26% received atropine for early-onset diarrhea. To reduce the risk of severe diarrhea, patients should stop lactose-containing products, eat a low-fat diet and maintain hydration during treatment with ONIVYDE. Withhold ONIVYDE for Grade 2-4 diarrhea.
Administer intravenous or subcutaneous atropine 0.25 to 1 mg (unless clinically contraindicated) for early onset diarrhea of any severity. Initiate loperamide for late onset diarrhea of any severity. Local institutional guidelines should be followed for the treatment of diarrhea that does not improve within 48 hours and may include the addition of diphenoxylate hydrochloride plus atropine sulfate or octreotide.
Following recovery to Grade 1 diarrhea, resume ONIVYDE at a reduced dose.
Interstitial Lung Disease ONIVYDE can cause severe and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD), including pneumonitis. Postmarketing cases of severe and fatal ILD have been reported with ONIVYDE. Risk factors include pre-existing lung disease, use of pneumotoxic medicinal products, colony stimulating factors or having previously received radiation therapy.
Patients with risk factors should be closely monitored for respiratory symptoms before and during ONIVYDE therapy. Withhold ONIVYDE in patients with new or progressive dyspnea, cough, and fever, pending diagnostic evaluation. Discontinue ONIVYDE in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ILD.
Severe Hypersensitivity Reaction
Irinotecan including ONIVYDE can cause severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions. Permanently discontinue ONIVYDE in patients who experience a severe hypersensitivity reaction.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on animal data with irinotecan HCl and the mechanism of action of ONIVYDE, ONIVYDE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Embryotoxicity and teratogenicity were observed following treatment with irinotecan HCl, at doses resulting in irinotecan exposures lower than those achieved with ONIVYDE 70 mg/m 2 in humans, administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ONIVYDE and for seven months following the last dose.
Drug Interactions with Onivyde
Strong CYP3A4 Inducers
Following administration of non-liposomal irinotecan (i.e., irinotecan HCl), exposure to irinotecan or its active metabolite, SN-38, is substantially reduced in adult and pediatric patients concomitantly receiving the CYP3A4 enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants phenytoin and strong CYP3A4 inducers. Avoid the use of strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifabutin, rifapentine, phenobarbital, St. John's wort) if possible.
Substitute non-enzyme inducing therapies at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of ONIVYDE therapy.
Strong CYP3A4 or UGT1A1 Inhibitors
Following administration of non-liposomal irinotecan (i.e., irinotecan HCl), patients receiving concomitant ketoconazole, a CYP3A4 and UGT1A1 inhibitor, have increased exposure to irinotecan and its active metabolite SN-38. Co-administration of ONIVYDE with other inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, lopinavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telaprevir, voriconazole) or UGT1A1 (e.g., atazanavir, gemfibrozil, indinavir) may increase systemic exposure to irinotecan or SN-38. Avoid the use of strong CYP3A4 or UGT1A1 inhibitors if possible.
Discontinue strong CYP3A4 inhibitors at least 1 week prior to starting ONIVYDE therapy.
Pregnancy Safety for Onivyde
Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal data with irinotecan HCl and the mechanism of action of ONIVYDE, ONIVYDE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women. Embryotoxicity and teratogenicity were observed following treatment with irinotecan HCl, at doses resulting in irinotecan exposures lower than those achieved with ONIVYDE 70 mg/m 2 in humans, administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis.
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 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data No animal studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of irinotecan liposome on reproduction and fetal development; however, studies have been conducted with irinotecan HCl.
Irinotecan crosses the placenta of rats following intravenous administration. Intravenous administration of irinotecan at a dose of 6 mg/kg/day to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in increased post-implantation loss and decreased numbers of live fetuses. In separate studies in rats, this dose resulted in an irinotecan exposure of approximately 0.002 times the exposure of irinotecan based on area under the curve (AUC) in patients administered ONIVYDE at the 70 mg/m 2 dose.
Administration of irinotecan HCl resulted in structural abnormalities and growth delays in rats at doses greater than 1.2 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.0002 times the clinical exposure to irinotecan in ONIVYDE based on AUC). Teratogenic effects included a variety of external, visceral, and skeletal abnormalities. Irinotecan HCl administered to rat dams for the period following organogenesis through weaning at doses of 6 mg/kg/day caused decreased learning ability and decreased female body weights in the offspring.
Pediatric Use of Onivyde
Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of ONIVYDE have not been established in pediatric patients.
Contraindications for Onivyde
ONIVYDE is contraindicated in patients who have experienced a severe hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis to ONIVYDE or irinotecan HCl.
Overdosage Information for Onivyde
There are no treatment interventions known to be effective for management of overdosage of ONIVYDE.
Clinical Studies of Onivyde
Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma In Combination with Oxaliplatin, Fluorouracil and Leucovorin for First-Line Treatment of Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma The efficacy of ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin (NALIRIFOX) was evaluated in NAPOLI 3 (NCT04083235), a randomized, multicenter, open-label, active-controlled trial in 770 patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who had not previously received chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. Randomization was stratified by region, liver metastases and ECOG performance status. Patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele initiated ONIVYDE at the same dose (50 mg/m 2 ONIVYDE).
Treatment continued until RECIST v1.1 defined disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor status assessments were conducted at baseline and every 8 weeks thereafter as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. The main efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS).
Additional efficacy measures were investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR). ECOG performance status was of patients, respectively; 80% had liver metastases. NAPOLI 3 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS and PFS for the NALIRIFOX arm over Gem+NabP arm as summarized in Table 8 and Figure 1.
Table 8 Efficacy Results of All Randomized Patients in NAPOLI 3 159 139 Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier Curve for Overall Survival in all randomized Patients in NAPOLI 3 Figure 1 Previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin The efficacy of ONIVYDE was evaluated in NAPOLI-1 (NCT01494506), a three-arm, randomized, open-label trial in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma with documented disease progression, after gemcitabine or gemcitabine-based therapy. Key eligibility criteria included Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥70, serum bilirubin within institution limits of normal, and albumin ≥3.0 g/dL. Patients were randomized to receive ONIVYDE plus fluorouracil/leucovorin (ONIVYDE/FU/LV), ONIVYDE, or fluorouracil/leucovorin (FU/LV).
Randomization was stratified by ethnicity White vs. When ONIVYDE was withheld or discontinued for adverse reactions, FU was also withheld or discontinued. When the dose of ONIVYDE was reduced for adverse reactions, the dose of FU was reduced by 25%.
The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS) with two pair-wise comparisons: ONIVYDE versus FU/LV and ONIVYDE/FU/LV versus FU/LV. The trial was initiated as a two-arm study and amended after initiation to include a third arm (ONIVYDE/FU/LV). The comparisons between the ONIVYDE/FU/LV and the FU/LV arms are limited to patients enrolled in the FU/LV arm after this protocol amendment.
Four hundred seventeen patients were randomized to: ONIVYDE/FU/LV (N=117), ONIVYDE (N=151), or FU/LV (N=149). Mean baseline albumin level was 3.97 g/dL, and baseline KPS was 90-100 in 53% of patients. Disease characteristics included liver metastasis (67%) and lung metastasis (31%).
All patients received prior gemcitabine (alone or in combination with another agent), 54% received prior gemcitabine in combination with another agent, and 13% received prior gemcitabine in combination with nab-paclitaxel. NAPOLI-1 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival for the ONIVYDE/FU/LV arm over the FU/LV arm as summarized in Table 9 and Figure 2. There was no improvement in overall survival for the ONIVYDE arm over the FU/LV arm (hazard ratio=1.00, p-value=0.97 (two-sided log-rank test)).
