How nirogacestat is dosed

From the FDA label for Ogsiveo (application NDA217677). Other nirogacestat products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.

The recommended dosage is 150 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ( 2.1 ) See Full Prescribing Information for dosage modifications due to adverse reactions. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of OGSIVEO is 150 mg administered orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. OGSIVEO may be taken with or without food. Instruct patients to swallow OGSIVEO tablets whole and not to break, crush, or chew prior to swallowing. If a patient vomits or misses a dose, instruct the patient to take the next dose at its scheduled time. 2.2 Dos ag e Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended dose modifications for OGSIVEO for selected severe adverse reactions are summarized in Table 1 [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ) , Adverse Reactions ( 6 ) ]. For other severe adverse reactions, life-threatening adverse reactions, or persistent intolerable Grade 2 adverse reactions, withhold drug until resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline. Only restart at a dosage of 100 mg twice daily after considering the potential benefit and likelihood of recurrence of the adverse reaction. Permanently discontinue OGSIVEO for recurrence of severe or life-threatening adverse reaction upon rechallenge at the reduced dose. Table 1.

Nirogacestat side effects

The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Diarrhea [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Ovarian Toxicity [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Electrolyte Abnormalities [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] The most common ( > 15 %) adverse reactions are diarrhea, ovarian toxicity, rash, nausea, fatigue, stomatitis, headache, abdominal pain, cough, alopecia, upper respiratory tract infection and dyspnea. ( 6.1 ) The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥15%) are decreased phosphate, increased urine glucose, increased urine protein, increased AST, increased ALT, and decreased potassium. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact SpringWorks Therapeutics at 1-888-400-7989 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. The safety of OGSIVEO was evaluated in 69 patients enrolled in DeFi with progressing desmoid tumor [see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ]. Patients received OGSIVEO 150 mg orally twice daily or placebo…

Nirogacestat drug interactions

Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Gastric acid reducing agents : Avoid concomitant use with proton pump inhibitors and H2-receptor antagonists. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, OGSIVEO administration can be staggered with antacids. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect s of Other Drugs on OGSIVEO Table 4. Effects of Other Drugs on OGSIVEO Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of OGSIVEO with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors including grapefruit products, Seville oranges, and starfruit. Clinical Effect Nirogacestat is a CYP3A substrate. Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors increase nirogacestat exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ], which may increase the risk of OGSIVEO adverse reactions . Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of OGSIVEO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Clinical Effect Nirogacestat is a CYP3A substrate. Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers decrease serum nirogacestat exposure [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ], which may reduce the effectiveness of OGSIVEO. Gastric Acid Reducing Agents Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers . If concomitant use cannot be avoided, OGSIVEO can be staggered with antacids (e.g., administer OGSIVEO 2 hours before or 2 hours after antacid use). Clinical Effect Nirogacestat is poorly soluble at pH ≥ 6. Gastric acid reducing agents may decrease serum nirogacestat exposure [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ], which may reduce the effectiveness of OGSIVEO. 7.2 Effects of OGSIVEO on Other Drugs Table 5. Effects of OGSIVEO on Other Drugs Certain CYP3ASubstrates Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with CYP3A substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions . Clinical Effect Nirogacestat increases exposure of CYP3A substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain CYP2C19 Substrates Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with OGSIVEO where decreased concentrations of CYP2C19 substrates may lead to significant decreases in efficacy of the CYP2C19 substrate unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for the CYP2C19 substrate. Clinical Effect Nirogacestat decreases exposure of CYP2C19 substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ], which may decrease efficacy of these substrates.

Frequently asked questions

What is nirogacestat?

Ogsiveo (Nirogacestat Hydrobromide) is a gamma secretase inhibitor used to treat Desmoid Tumors.

What kind of drug is nirogacestat?

The FDA classifies nirogacestat as a gamma secretase inhibitor. If you are checking whether it is safe to combine with something else, the class is what matters — two drugs from the same class usually should not be stacked.

Can you take nirogacestat 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 nirogacestat 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 nirogacestat come in?

Across the brands we track, nirogacestat is currently marketed as tablet, 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 nirogacestat?

We do not currently list a generic-labelled nirogacestat 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.
