How fedratinib is dosed

From the FDA label for Inrebic (application NDA212327). Other fedratinib products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.

Recommended Dosage: 400 mg orally once daily with or without food for patients with a baseline platelet count of greater than or equal to 50 × 10 9 /L ( 2.2 ). • For patients who have difficulty swallowing capsules whole or those with a nasogastric tube, the content of the capsule(s) may be dispersed in Ensure ® Plus ( 2.2 ). • Reduce dose for patients taking strong CYP3A inhibitors or with severe renal impairment ( 2.3 , 2.4 , 7.1 , 8.6 ). 2.1 Required Concomitant Medications During treatment with INREBIC, all patients should receive prophylaxis with thiamine 100 mg orally daily [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. 2.2 Recommended Dosage Conduct baseline testing of thiamine (Vitamin B1) levels prior to initiation of INREBIC [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . The recommended dosage of INREBIC is 400 mg taken orally once daily for patients with a baseline platelet count of greater than or equal to 50 × 10 9 /L. Modify the dose for patients using concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, and in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance (CL cr ) 15 mL/min to 29 mL/min) [see Dosage and Administration (2.4 , 2.5) ] . Patients that are on treatment with ruxolitinib before the initiation of INREBIC must taper and discontinue according to the ruxolitinib prescribing information. Administration…

Fedratinib side effects

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Encephalopathy, including Wernicke's [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Anemia and Thrombocytopenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Gastrointestinal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Hepatic Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Amylase and Lipase Elevation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] • Uveitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] • Major Adverse Cardiac Events [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] • Thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] • Secondary Malignancies [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] • Symptom Exacerbation Following Interruption or Discontinuation of Treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) are diarrhea, nausea, anemia, and vomiting ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bristol-Myers Squibb at 1-800-721-5072 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 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 practice.

Fedratinib drug interactions

Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Reduce INREBIC dose as recommended ( 2.3 , 7.1 ). • Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid use of INREBIC ( 7.1 ). • CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 Substrates: Dose modifications of substrates drugs may be needed ( 7.2 ). • OCT2 and MATE1/2-K Substrates: Dose modifications of substrate drugs may be needed ( 7.2 ). 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on INREBIC Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Coadministration of INREBIC with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increases fedratinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Increased exposure may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Consider alternative therapies that do not strongly inhibit CYP3A4 activity. Alternatively, reduce the dose of INREBIC when administering with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Coadministration of INREBIC with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer can decrease fedratinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Decreased exposure may reduce the effectiveness of INREBIC. Avoid INREBIC with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Dual CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 Inhibitors Coadministration of INREBIC with a dual CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitor increases fedratinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Increased exposure may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Due to potential increase of exposure, patients taking concomitant dual CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitors require more intensive safety monitoring and, if necessary, dose modifications of INREBIC based on adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] . 7.2 Effect of INREBIC on Other Drugs CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 Substrate Drugs Coadministration of INREBIC with drugs that are CYP3A4 substrates, CYP2C19 substrates, or CYP2D6 substrates increases the concentrations of these drugs, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions of these drugs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Monitor for adverse reactions and adjust the dose of drugs that are CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 substrates as necessary when coadministered with INREBIC. OCT2 and MATE1/2-K Substrate Drugs Coadministration of INREBIC with drugs that are renally excreted via organic cation transporter (OCT2) and multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE)1/2-K can decrease renal clearance of those drugs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Monitor for adverse reactions and consider dose modifications for drugs that are renally excreted via OCT2 or MATE1/2-K (e.g., metformin), as necessary when coadministered with INREBIC.

Frequently asked questions

What is fedratinib?

Inrebic (Fedratinib Hydrochloride) is a medication used to treat Primary Myelofibrosis.

Can you take fedratinib with other medicines?

It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run fedratinib against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.

What forms does fedratinib come in?

Across the brands we track, fedratinib is currently marketed as capsule, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.

Is there a generic fedratinib?

We do not currently list a generic-labelled fedratinib product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
