Warnings & Cautions for Rezlidhia

Differentiation Syndrome

REZLIDHIA can cause differentiation syndrome. In the clinical trial of REZLIDHIA in patients with relapsed or refractory AML, differentiation syndrome occurred in 16% (25/153) of patients, with grade 3 or 4 differentiation syndrome occurring in 8% of patients treated, and fatalities in 1% of patients. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells and may be life-threatening or fatal.

Symptoms of differentiation syndrome in patients treated with REZLIDHIA included leukocytosis, dyspnea, pulmonary infiltrates/pleuropericardial effusion, kidney injury, fever, edema, pyrexia, and weight gain. Of the 25 patients who experienced differentiation syndrome, 19 (76%) recovered after treatment or after dosage interruption of REZLIDHIA. Differentiation syndrome occurred as early as 1 day and up to 18 months after REZLIDHIA initiation and has been observed with or without concomitant leukocytosis. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, temporarily withhold REZLIDHIA and initiate systemic corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg IV every 12 hours) for a minimum of 3 days and until resolution of signs and symptoms.

If concomitant leukocytosis is observed, initiate treatment with hydroxyurea, as clinically indicated. Taper corticosteroids and hydroxyurea after resolution of symptoms. Differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroids and/or hydroxyurea treatment.

Institute supportive measures and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement; withhold dose of REZLIDHIA and consider dose reduction based on recurrence .

Hepatotoxicity

REZLIDHIA can cause hepatotoxicity, presenting as increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), increased blood alkaline phosphatase, and/or elevated bilirubin. Of 153 patients with relapsed or refractory AML who received REZLIDHIA, hepatotoxicity occurred in 23% of patients; 13% experienced grade 3 or 4 hepatotoxicity . One patient treated with REZLIDHIA in combination with azacitidine in the clinical trial, a combination for which REZLIDHIA is not indicated, died from complications of drug-induced liver injury. The median time to onset of hepatotoxicity in patients with relapsed or refractory AML treated with REZLIDHIA was 1.2 months (range: 1 day to 17.5 months) after REZLIDHIA initiation, and the median time to resolution was 12 days (range: 1 day to 17 months). The most common hepatotoxicities were elevations of ALT, AST, blood alkaline phosphatase, and blood bilirubin.

Monitor patients frequently for clinical symptoms of hepatic dysfunction such as fatigue, anorexia, right upper abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice. Obtain baseline liver function tests prior to initiation of REZLIDHIA, at least once weekly for the first two months, once every other week for the third month, once in the fourth month, and once every other month for the duration of therapy. If hepatic dysfunction occurs, withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue REZLIDHIA based on recurrence/severity .

Drug Interactions with Rezlidhia

Effect of Other Drugs on Olutasidenib Strong or Moderate

CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Olutasidenib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases olutasidenib Cmax and AUC, which may reduce REZLIDHIA efficacy . Concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with a moderate CYP3A inducer may also decrease olutasidenib Cmax and AUC, which may also reduce REZLIDHIA efficacy, based on observations from concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer.

Effect of Olutasidenib on Other Drugs Sensitive

CYP3A Substrates Avoid concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with sensitive CYP3A substrates unless otherwise instructed in the substrates prescribing information. If concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor patients for loss of therapeutic effect of these drugs. Olutasidenib induces CYP3A. Concomitant use of REZLIDHIA may decrease plasma concentrations of sensitive CYP3A substrates, which may reduce the substrate’s efficacy .

Pregnancy Safety for Rezlidhia

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, REZLIDHIA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on REZLIDHIA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In embryo-fetal development studies, oral olutasidenib resulted in embryo-fetal death and altered fetal growth when administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at exposures up to 10 times and 0.7 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended daily 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%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Olutasidenib was administered twice daily via oral gavage at dose levels of 25, 125, or 250 mg/kg/dose (50, 250, or 500 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during organogenesis (gestation days 6-17). An increase in fetal supernumerary rib was observed at the high dose (10 times the AUC at the clinical dose of 150 mg BID). In a pilot study, administration of olutasidenib orally to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in an increase in post-implantation loss at doses of 250 and 450 mg/kg/day (9 and 10 times the AUC at the clinical dose of 150 mg BID). Olutasidenib was administered twice daily via oral gavage at dose levels of 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg/dose (20, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis (gestation days 7- 20). Maternal toxicity noted as reduced body weight gain occurred at 80 mg/kg/day. An increase in fetal supernumerary rib and increased post-implantation loss occurred at the high dose of 80 mg/kg/day (0.7 times the AUC at the clinical dose of 150 mg BID).

Clinical Studies of Rezlidhia

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The efficacy of REZLIDHIA was evaluated in an open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial (Study 2102-HEM-101, NCT02719574) in 147 adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML with an IDH1 mutation. IDH1 mutations in blood or bone marrow were confirmed retrospectively using the Abbott RealTi m e™ IDH1 Assay. REZLIDHIA was given orally at a dose of 150 mg twice daily until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Sixteen of the 147 patients (11%) underwent stem cell transplantation following REZLIDHIA treatment. The baseline demographic and disease characteristics are shown in Table 4.
