Side Effects of Rezurock

Clinical Trial Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely variable conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates of clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Chronic Graft versus Host Disease In two clinical trials (Study KD025-213 and Study KD025-208), 83 adult patients with chronic GVHD were treated with REZUROCK 200 mg once daily . The median duration of treatment was 9.2 months (range 0.5 to 44.7 months). Fatal adverse reaction was reported in one patient with severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and multi-organ failure. Permanent discontinuation of REZUROCK due to adverse reactions occurred in 18% of patients.

The adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of REZUROCK in >3% of patients included nausea (4%). Adverse reactions leading to dose interruption occurred in 29% of patients. The adverse reactions leading to dose interruption in ≥2% were infections (11%), diarrhea (4%), and asthenia, dyspnea, hemorrhage, hypotension, liver function test abnormal, nausea, pyrexia, edema, and renal failure with (2% each). The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were infections, asthenia, nausea, diarrhea, dyspnea, cough, edema, hemorrhage, abdominal pain, musculoskeletal pain, headache, phosphate decreased, gamma glutamyl transferase increased, lymphocytes decreased, and hypertension. Table 2 summarizes the nonlaboratory adverse reactions.

Warnings & Cautions for Rezurock

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, REZUROCK can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of belumosudil to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes including embryo-fetal mortality and malformations at maternal exposures (AUC) less than those in patients at the recommended dose. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with REZUROCK and for one week after the last dose .

Drug Interactions with Rezurock

Effect of Other Drugs on

REZUROCK Proton Pump Inhibitors Belumosudil exhibits pH-dependent solubility. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with proton pump inhibitors decreases belumosudil exposure , which may reduce the efficacy of REZUROCK. Increase the dosage of REZUROCK when used concomitantly with proton pump inhibitors. Strong CYP3A Inducers Belumosudil is a CYP3A substrate.

Concomitant use of REZUROCK with strong CYP3A inducers decreases belumosudil exposure , which may reduce the efficacy of REZUROCK. Increase the dosage of REZUROCK when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inducers.

Effect of

REZUROCK on Other Drugs BCRP and OATP1B1 Substrates Avoid concomitant use with drugs that are BCRP substrates where possible. If used together, monitor patients more frequently for adverse reactions and decrease the BCRP substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information. Belumosudil is a BCRP inhibitor.

Concomitant use of REZUROCK with BCRP substrates increases their plasma concentrations , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Belumosudil is an OATP1B1 inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with OATP1B1 substrates may increase their plasma concentrations.

Monitor patients more frequently for adverse reactions of these substrates and decrease the OATP1B1 substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information . Certain CYP1A2 Substrates Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are sensitive CYP1A2 substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the CYP1A2 substrate dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information. Belumosudil is a CYP1A2 inhibitor.

Concomitant use of REZUROCK with sensitive CYP1A2 substrates (e.g., caffeine) is predicted to increase CYP1A2 substrate exposure , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain CYP3A Substrates Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are sensitive CYP3A substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the CYP3A substrate dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information.

Pregnancy Safety for Rezurock

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and the mechanism of action , REZUROCK can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. There are no available human data on REZUROCK use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of belumosudil to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes, including alterations to growth, embryo-fetal mortality, and embryo-fetal malformations at maternal exposures (AUC) approximately ≥1.4 (rat) and ≥0.08 (rabbit) times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose (see Data ). Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the 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 Embryo-fetal development studies were conducted in rats with administration of belumosudil to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis at oral doses of 25, 50, 150, and 300 mg/kg/day in a pilot study and doses of 15, 50, and 150 mg/kg/day in a pivotal study. In the pilot study, maternal toxicity and embryo-fetal developmental effects were observed.

Maternal toxicity (reduced body weight gain) occurred at 150 and 300 mg/kg/day doses. Increased post-implantation loss occurred at 50 and 300 mg/kg/day. Fetal-malformations were observed at ≥50 mg/kg/day and included absence of anus and tail, omphalocele, and dome shaped head.

The exposure (AUC) at 50 mg/kg/day in rats is approximately 1.4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 200 mg. In an embryo-fetal developmental study in rabbits, pregnant animals administered oral doses of belumosudil at 50, 125, and 225 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis resulted in maternal toxicity and embryo-fetal developmental effects. Maternal toxicity (body weight loss and mortality) was observed at doses ≥125 mg/kg/day.

Embryo-fetal effects were observed at doses ≥50 mg/kg/day and included spontaneous abortion, increased post-implantation loss, decreased percentage of live fetuses, malformations, and decreased fetal body weight. Malformations included those in the tail (short), ribs (branched, fused or deformed), sternebrae (fused), and neural arches (fused, misaligned, and deformed). The exposure (AUC) at 50 mg/kg/day in rabbits is approximately 0.08 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 200 mg.

Pediatric Use of Rezurock

Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of REZUROCK have been established in pediatric patients 12 years and older. Use of REZUROCK in this age group is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of REZUROCK in adults with additional population pharmacokinetic data demonstrating that age and body weight had no clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of drug substance, that the exposure of drug substance is expected to be similar between adults and pediatric patients age 12 years and older, and that the course of disease is sufficiently similar in adult and pediatric patients to allow extrapolation of data in adults to pediatric patients. The safety and effectiveness of REZUROCK in pediatric patients less than 12 years old have not been established.

Clinical Studies of Rezurock

Chronic Graft versus Host Disease Study KD025-213 (NCT03640481) was a randomized, open-label

multicenter study of REZUROCK for treatment of patients with chronic GVHD who had received 2 to 5 prior lines of systemic therapy and required additional treatment. Patients were excluded from the studies if platelets were <50 × 10 9 /L; absolute neutrophil count <1.5 × 10 9 /L; AST or ALT >3 × ULN; total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN; QTc(F) >480 ms; eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ; or FEV1 ≤39%. There were 66 patients treated with REZUROCK 200 mg taken orally once daily. Concomitant treatment with supportive care therapies for chronic GVHD was permitted.

Concomitant treatment with GVHD prophylaxis and standard care systemic chronic GVHD therapies was permitted as long as the subject has been on a stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to study. Initiation of new systemic chronic GVHD therapy while on study was not permitted. Demographics and baseline characteristics are summarized in Table 5. Table 5: Demographics and Baseline Characteristics of Patients with Chronic GVHD REZUROCK 200 mg once daily (N=65) Age, Median, Years (minimum, maximum) 53 Age ≥65 Years, n (%) 17 Male, n (%) 42 Race, n (%) White 54 Black 6 Other or Not Reported 5 Median (range) time (months) from Chronic GVHD Diagnosis 25.3 ≥4 Organs Involved, n (%) 31 Median (range) Number of Prior Lines of Therapy 3 Number of Prior Lines of Therapy, n (%) 2 23 3 12 4 15 ≥5 15 Prior chronic GVHD treatment with ibrutinib, n (%) 21 Prior chronic GVHD treatment with ruxolitinib, n (%) 20 Refractory to Last Therapy, n (% Denominator excludes patients with unknown status ) 43/55 Severe chronic GVHD, n (%) 46 Median (range) Global Severity Rating 7 Median (range) Lee Symptom Scale Score at baseline 27 Median (range) Corticosteroid dose at baseline (PE/kg) Prednisone equivalents/kilogram 0.19 The efficacy of REZUROCK was based on overall response rate (ORR) through Cycle 7 Day 1 where overall response included complete response or partial response according to the 2014 NIH Response Criteria.

The ORR results are presented in Table 6. The ORR was 75% (95% CI: 63, 85). The median duration of response, calculated from first response to progression, death, or new systemic therapies for chronic GVHD, was 1.9 months (95% CI: 1.2, 2.9). The median time to first response was 1.8 months (95% CI: 1.0, 1.9). In patients who achieved response, no death or new systemic therapy initiation occurred in 62% (95% CI: 46, 74) of patients for at least 12 months since response.
