Pretomanid Drug Information

Important Administration Instructions • Pretomanid Tablets must be administered only in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid as part of the recommended dosage regimen. • Administer the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid by directly observed therapy (DOT). • Pretomanid Tablets must be administered in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid with food. • Emphasize the need for compliance with the full course of therapy to patients. • If the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid is interrupted by a healthcare provider for safety reasons, missed doses can be made up at the end of the treatment; doses of linezolid alone missed due to linezolid adverse reactions should not be made up. • Dosing of the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid can be extended beyond 26 weeks, if necessary.

The recommended dosage and duration for Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline and linezolid when administered in the combination regimen are as follows: Pretomanid Tablets: • Administer Pretomanid Tablet 200 mg orally (1 tablet of 200 mg), once daily, for 26 weeks with food. • Administer Pretomanid Tablets whole with water. • For adult patients with swallowing difficulties, use one of the following two methods: A Crush and Suspend Pretomanid Tablets • Crush and suspend Pretomanid Tablet in one teaspoon (approximately 5 mL) of room temperature water in a drinking cup and mix well by vigorous stirring. • Orally administer the contents of the cup immediately. • To ensure no tablet residual is left in the cup, rinse with an additional one teaspoon (approximately 5 mL) of water and orally administer the contents of the cup immediately. • Do not store the mixture for later use. B Soak and then Crush Pretomanid Tablets • Soak Pretomanid Tablet for 4 to 5 minutes in one teaspoon (approximately 5 mL) of room temperature water in a drinking cup and then any remaining solid should be crushed. Linezolid: • Preferred linezolid dosage regimen: 600 mg orally once daily for 26 weeks.

If myelosuppression, peripheral neuropathy, or optic neuropathy occurs, reduce linezolid dosage to 300 mg once daily or interrupt linezolid dosing. • Alternative linezolid dosage regimen: 1,200 mg orally once daily for 26 weeks. If myelosuppression, peripheral neuropathy, or optic neuropathy occurs, reduce linezolid dosage to 600 mg once daily, further reduce linezolid dosage to 300 mg once daily, or interrupt linezolid dosing.

Assessments Prior to Initiating the Combination Regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, Bedaquiline, and Linezolid • Assess for symptoms and signs of liver disease (such as fatigue, anorexia, nausea, jaundice, dark urine, liver tenderness, and hepatomegaly). Obtain laboratory tests (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin). • Obtain complete blood count. Obtain serum potassium, calcium, and magnesium and correct if abnormal.

Obtain an ECG before initiation of treatment.

Discontinuation of Dosing

If either bedaquiline or Pretomanid Tablets are discontinued, the entire combination regimen should also be discontinued. If linezolid is permanently discontinued during the initial four consecutive weeks of treatment, bedaquiline and Pretomanid Tablets should also be discontinued. If linezolid is discontinued after the initial four weeks of consecutive treatment, continue administering bedaquiline and Pretomanid Tablets.

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to the rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. When Pretomanid Tablets are administered in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid, refer to the prescribing information for the respective drugs for a description of the adverse reactions associated with their use. Approximately 3100 subjects have been exposed to Pretomanid Tablets, either alone or as part of a combination therapy in clinical trials.

The registrational trial, Trial 1 (NCT02333799), was a single-arm, open-label trial conducted in three sites in South Africa in which adult patients with pulmonary TB resistant to isoniazid, rifamycins, a fluoroquinolone and a second line injectable antibacterial drug or pulmonary TB resistant to isoniazid and rifampin, who were treatment-intolerant or non-responsive to standard therapy received the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid for 6 months (extendable to 9 months) with 24 months of follow-up. One hundred and nine patients were treated; 76% were black, and 23% were of mixed race. Their ages ranged from 17 years to 60 years (mean 36 years), and all patients were from South Africa.

Fifty-six (51%) patients were HIV-positive. There were 8 deaths. Six patients died while receiving treatment; all surviving patients, excluding one patient who withdrew consent, completed treatment.

Two patients died during follow-up at Day 369 and Day 486, respectively. Trial 2 (NCT03086486) was a phase 3 partially-blinded, randomized trial assessing the safety and efficacy of various doses and treatment durations of linezolid in combination with Pretomanid Tablets plus bedaquiline in patients with pulmonary TB resistant to isoniazid, rifamycins, a fluoroquinolone and a second line injectable antibacterial drug, or pulmonary TB resistant to rifamycins and either a fluoroquinolone or a second line injectable antibacterial drug, or pulmonary TB resistant to isoniazid and rifampin who were treatment intolerant or non-responsive to standard therapy. The treatment groups were comparable with respect to demographic characteristics.

Most patients (93%) completed treatment. One patient died in the linezolid 1,200 mg for 9 weeks (not an approved dosing regimen) arm. Table 1: Select Adverse Reactions (All Grades) Reported in ≥ 5% of Patients Receiving the Combination Regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, Bedaquiline, and Linezolid in Trials 1 and 2 Pretomanid Tablets, Bedaquiline and Linezolid (1,200 mg) Combination Regimen (N = 154) Pretomanid Tablets, Bedaquiline and Linezolid (600 mg) Combination Regimen (N = 45) Adverse Reactions All Grades n (%) All Grades n (%) Peripheral neuropathy Select terms are collapsed, as follows: peripheral neuropathy (burning sensation, hypoesthesia, hyporeflexia, neuropathy peripheral, paresthesia, peripheral motor neuropathy, peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy, peripheral sensory neuropathy, polyneuropathy, sensory disturbance); anemia (anemia); acne (acne, dermatitis acneiform); transaminases increased (alanine aminotransferase ) increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, drug-induced liver injury, hepatic enzyme increased, hepatic function abnormal, liver function test increased, transaminases increased; musculoskeletal pain (arthralgia, back pain, costochondritis, myalgia, pain in extremity); rash (rash, rash erythematous, rash maculo-papular, rash papular, rash vesicular); pruritus (pruritus, pruritus generalized, rash pruritic); abdominal pain (abdominal pain, abdominal pain lower, abdominal pain upper, abdominal tenderness); hyperamylasemia (amylase increased, hyperamylasemia); hypertension (blood pressure increased, hypertension); cough (cough, productive cough); visual impairment (vision blurred, visual acuity reduced, visual impairment); neutropenia (neutropenia); hyperlipasemia (hyperlipasemia, lipase increased). 105 10 8 The following select adverse reactions were reported in patients receiving the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline and linezolid (1,200 mg) at a rate of less than 5% in Trials 1 and 2: Gastrointestinal Disorders: pancreatitis, dysgeusia Investigations: blood creatine phosphokinase increase, blood creatinine increase, blood alkaline phosphatase increase Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: leukopenia, thrombocytopenia Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders: hypomagnesemia, hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia Nervous System Disorders: dizziness, seizure The following select adverse reactions were reported in patients receiving the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline and linezolid (600 mg) at a rate of less than 5% in Trial 2: Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: anemia, thrombocytopenia Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders: decreased appetite, hyperlipasemia, hypoglycemia, hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesemia, hyperkalemia Psychiatric Disorders: insomnia Nervous System Disorders: headache Vascular Disorders: hypertension Respiratory, Thoracic and Mediastinal Disorders: cough, hemoptysis Gastrointestinal Disorders: abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: dry skin, rash Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: musculoskeletal pain Laboratory Abnormalities Reported in Trials 1 and 2 Table 2 summarizes select laboratory abnormalities in patients treated for 26 weeks in Trials 1 and 2.

Except for one patient who died due to pneumonia and sepsis, all patients who experienced increased transaminases were able to continue therapy and complete the full course of treatment. Myelosuppression is a known adverse reaction of linezolid. In Trial 1, the most common hematopoietic cytopenia was anemia (37%).

The majority of cytopenias began after 2 weeks of treatment. Three patients experienced cytopenias that were considered serious: neutropenia in 1 patient and anemia in 2 patients. All 3 serious adverse reactions resulted in interruption of linezolid or all components of the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid, and all resolved.

Most of the myelosuppression-related adverse reactions were either grade 1 or grade 2 in severity. Peripheral and Optic Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy is a known adverse reaction of linezolid. In Trial 1, peripheral neuropathy was reported in 81% of patients.

Most of these adverse reactions (64%) occurred after 8 weeks of treatment and resulted in dosing interruption, dose reduction, or discontinuation of linezolid. Severe, moderate, and mild peripheral neuropathy occurred in 22%, 32%, and 26% of patients, respectively. No adverse reaction related to peripheral neuropathy led to a discontinuation of the entire study regimen.

In the 600 mg 26-week treatment group, 10 (22%) patients reported peripheral neuropathy, and none required linezolid treatment interruption or treatment discontinuation. Two patients (2%) in Trial 1 developed optic neuropathy after 16 weeks of treatment. Both were serious, confirmed on retinal examination as optic neuropathy/neuritis, and resulted in discontinuation of linezolid; both adverse reactions resolved.

Overall, patients administered a linezolid dose of 600 mg twice daily had a similar safety profile to those administered a dose of 1,200 mg once daily. In Trial 2 overall, 4 (2%) patients reported an adverse reaction of optic neuropathy. All 4 patients were in the 1,200 mg linezolid 26-week treatment group (9%).

All patients had linezolid permanently discontinued except 1 patient who had already completed treatment when the adverse reaction occurred. Onset of optic neuropathy occurred after 3 months of treatment, and resolved.

Effect of Other Drugs on Pretomanid CYP3A4 Inducers Co-administration of pretomanid with rifampin and efavirenz resulted in a decrease in pretomanid plasma concentrations. Avoid co-administration of the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid with rifampin, efavirenz, or other strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Refer to the prescribing information for bedaquiline for additional information about drug interactions with CYP3A4.

Lopinavir/Ritonavir Co-administration of pretomanid with lopinavir/ritonavir did not affect the plasma concentrations of pretomanid. Lopinavir/ritonavir can be co-administered with the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid.

Effect of Pretomanid on Other Drugs Midazolam Co-administration of pretomanid with the CYP3A4 substrate, midazolam, resulted in no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam or its major metabolite, 1-hydroxy-midazolam. The combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid can be administered with CYP3A4 substrate drugs. Organic Anion Transporter-3 (OAT3), BCRP, OATP1B3 and P-gp Substrates The effect of co-administration of pretomanid on the pharmacokinetics of OAT3 substrates in humans is unknown.

However, in vitro studies indicate that pretomanid significantly inhibits the OAT3 drug transporter, which could result in increased concentrations of OAT3 substrate drugs clinically and may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with these drugs. If pretomanid is co-administered with OAT3 substrate drugs (e.g., methotrexate, indomethacin, ciprofloxacin), increase monitoring for OAT3 substrate drug-related adverse reactions and consider dosage reduction for OAT3 substrate drugs, if needed. Refer to the prescribing information of the co-administered drug for dosage reduction information.

In vitro studies cannot exclude the possibility that pretomanid is an inhibitor of BCRP, OATP1B3 and P-gp. No clinical studies have been performed to investigate these interactions. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that co-administration of pretomanid with sensitive OATP1B3 substrates (e.g., valsartan, statins), BCRP substrates (e.g., rosuvastatin, prazosin, glyburide, sulfasalazine) and P-gp substrates (e.g., digoxin, dabigatran etexilate, verapamil) may increase their exposure.

If pretomanid is co-administered with substrates of OATP1B3, BCRP, or P-gp, increased monitoring for drug-related adverse reactions to the co-administered medicinal product should be performed.

Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no studies or available data on pretomanid use in pregnant women to inform any drug-associated risks. There are risks associated with active tuberculosis during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ). When Pretomanid Tablets are administered in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid, the pregnancy information for bedaquiline and linezolid also applies to this combination regimen.

Refer to the bedaquiline and linezolid prescribing information for more information on bedaquiline and linezolid associated risks of use during pregnancy. In animal reproduction studies, there was increased post-implantation loss in the presence of maternal toxicity (reduced bodyweight and feed consumption) with oral administration of pretomanid during organogenesis in rats at doses about 4 times the exposure at the recommended dose in humans. There were no adverse embryo fetal effects in rats or rabbits dosed with oral pretomanid during organogenesis at doses up to approximately 2 times the exposure in humans.

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the United States general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are respectively.

Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Active tuberculosis in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes including maternal anemia, caesarean delivery, preterm birth, low birth weight, birth asphyxia, and perinatal infant death. Rats showed increased post-implantation loss in the presence of maternal toxicity (including reduced body weight and feed consumption) at 100 mg/kg/day, approximately 4 times the exposure in humans for a 200 mg dose on an AUC basis. Pregnant rabbits were dosed orally with pretomanid during organogenesis gestational Days 7 through mg/kg/day.

No evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed when oral doses of pretomanid were administered to dams during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 to 19) at doses up to 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the exposure in humans for a 200 mg dose on an AUC basis). In a pre- and postnatal development study, there were no adverse developmental effects in pups of pregnant rats orally dosed with up to 20 mg/kg/day from gestational Day 6 through lactation Day 20. Pups of pregnant females dosed at 60 mg/kg/day (about 2 times the exposure for the 200 mg dose) had lower body weights and a slight delay in the age at which the air-drop righting reflex developed.

These effects occurred at a maternally toxic dose (based on maternal weight loss and reduced food consumption).

Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of Pretomanid Tablets in pediatric patients have not been established.

• Pretomanid Tablets used in the combination regimen with bedaquiline and linezolid are contraindicated in patients for whom bedaquiline and/or linezolid are contraindicated. Refer to the bedaquiline and linezolid prescribing information.
• Pretomanid Tablets used in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid are contraindicated in patients for whom bedaquiline and/or linezolid is contraindicated.

There is no experience with the treatment of acute overdose with pretomanid. Take general measures to support basic vital functions including monitoring of vital signs and ECG (QT interval) in case of deliberate or accidental overdose.
