How olutasidenib is dosed
From the FDA label for Rezlidhia (application NDA215814). Other olutasidenib products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.
Select patients based on presence of IDH1 mutation(s). ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage: 150 mg orally twice daily, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ( 2.2 ) Take on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for the treatment of relapsed or refractory AML with REZLIDHIA based on the presence of IDH1 mutations in blood or bone marrow [see Clinical Trials ( 14.1 )] . Information on FDA- approved tests for the detection of IDH1 mutations in AML is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of REZLIDHIA is 150 mg taken orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Administer REZLIDHIA capsules orally about the same time each day. Do not administer 2 doses within 8 hours. Take on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . For patients without disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 months to allow time for clinical response. Swallow REZLIDHIA capsules whole. Do not break, open, or chew the capsules. If a dose of REZLIDHIA is vomited, do not administer a replacement dose; wait until the next scheduled dose is due. If a dose of REZLIDHIA is missed or not taken at the usual time, administer the dose as soon as possible and at least 8…
Olutasidenib side effects
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Differentiation Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] 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 most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, are aspartate aminotransferase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, potassium decreased, sodium decreased, alkaline phosphatase increased, nausea, creatinine increased, fatigue/malaise, arthralgia, constipation, lymphocytes increased, bilirubin increased, leukocytosis, uric acid increased, dyspnea, pyrexia, rash, lipase increased, mucositis, diarrhea and transaminitis. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-800-983-1329 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Relapsed or Refractory AML The safety of REZLIDHIA 150 mg administered twice daily was evaluated in 153 adults with relapsed or refractory AML with an IDH1 mutation [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . Among the 153 patients who received REZLIDHIA, 35% were exposed for at least 6…

Olutasidenib drug interactions
Strong or moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Sensitive CYP3A Substrates: Avoid concomitant use. Monitor if unavoidable. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 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 [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 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. 7.2 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 [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Can you crush or split olutasidenib?
At least one olutasidenibproduct is labelled to be swallowed whole — crushing an extended-release tablet releases the whole day’s dose at once. Which applies depends on the form you were given.
What each olutasidenib label says about crushing, splitting and chewingWhat people report to the FDA about olutasidenib
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 4 reports naming olutasidenib, and the FDA flagged 100% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- therapy non-responder2 reports
- b-cell lymphoma1 reports
- liver function test abnormal1 reports
- myelofibrosis1 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean olutasidenib caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
What is olutasidenib?
Olutasidenib is an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) inhibitor.
Can you take olutasidenib 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 olutasidenib 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 olutasidenib come in?
Across the brands we track, olutasidenib 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 olutasidenib?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled olutasidenib 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.
