corlanor

Adult and pediatric patients greater than 40 kg Starting dose is 2.5 (pediatrics and vulnerable adults) or 5 mg twice daily with food. After 2 weeks of treatment, adjust dose based on heart rate. The maximum dose is 7.5 mg twice daily. ( 2.1 ) Pediatric patients less than 40 kg Starting dose is 0.05 mg/kg twice daily with food. Adjust dose at two-week intervals by 0.05 mg/kg based on heart rate. Maximum dose is 0.2 mg/kg (patients 6 months to less than 1 year old) or 0.3 mg/kg (patients 1 year old and older), up to a total of 7.5 mg twice daily. 2.1 Adults The recommended starting dose of Corlanor is 5 mg twice daily with food. Assess patient after two weeks and adjust dose to achieve a resting heart rate between 50 and 60 beats per minute (bpm) as shown in Table 1. Thereafter, adjust dose as needed based on resting heart rate and tolerability. The maximum dose is 7.5 mg twice daily. In adult patients unable to swallow tablets, Corlanor oral solution can be used [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. In patients with a history of conduction defects or other patients in whom bradycardia could lead to hemodynamic compromise, initiate therapy at 2.5 mg twice daily before increasing the dose based on heart rate [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. Table 1. Dose Adjustment for Adults Heart Rate Dose Adjustment > 60 bpm Increase dose by 2.5 mg (given twice daily) up to a maximum…

Clinically significant adverse reactions that appear in other sections of the labeling include: Atrial Fibrillation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Bradycardia and Conduction Disturbances [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Most common adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 1% of patients are bradycardia, hypertension, atrial fibrillation and luminous phenomena (phosphenes).

Adult Patients with Heart Failure In SHIFT, safety was evaluated in 3,260 patients treated with Corlanor and 3,278 patients given placebo. The median duration of Corlanor exposure was 21.5 months. The most common adverse drug reactions in the SHIFT trial are shown in Table 2 [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) , ( 5.3 ) ] . Table 2.

Corlanor is contraindicated in patients with: • Acute decompensated heart failure • Clinically significant hypotension • Sick sinus syndrome, sinoatrial block or 3 rd degree AV block, unless a functioning demand pacemaker is present • Clinically significant bradycardia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] • Severe hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] • Pacemaker dependence (heart rate maintained exclusively by the pacemaker) [see Drug Interactions ( 7.3 )] • Concomitant use of strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] Acute decompensated heart failure ( 4 ) Clinically significant hypotension ( 4 ) Sick sinus syndrome, sinoatrial block or 3 rd degree AV block, unless a functioning demand pacemaker is present ( 4 ) Clinically significant bradycardia ( 4 ) Severe hepatic impairment ( 4 ) Heart rate maintained exclusively by the pacemaker ( 4 ) In combination with strong cytochrome CYP3A4 inhibitors ( 4 )

Overdose may lead to severe and prolonged bradycardia. In the event of bradycardia with poor hemodynamic tolerance, temporary cardiac pacing may be required. Supportive treatment, including intravenous (IV) fluids, atropine, and intravenous beta-stimulating agents such as isoproterenol, may be considered.

Avoid CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers. ( 7.1 ) Negative chronotropes increase risk of bradycardia; monitor heart rate. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Cytochrome P450-Based Interactions Corlanor is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Concomitant use of CYP3A4 inhibitors increases ivabradine plasma concentrations and use of CYP3A4 inducers decreases them. Increased plasma concentrations may exacerbate bradycardia and conduction disturbances. The concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated [ s ee Contraindications ( 4 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Examples of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors include azole antifungals (e.g., itraconazole), macrolide antibiotics (e.g., clarithromycin, telithromycin), HIV protease inhibitors (e.g., nelfinavir), and nefazodone. Avoid concomitant use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors when using Corlanor. Examples of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors include diltiazem, verapamil, and grapefruit juice [ s ee Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Avoid concomitant use of CYP3A4 inducers when using Corlanor. Examples of CYP3A4 inducers include St. John’s wort, rifampicin, barbiturates, and phenytoin [ s ee Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.2 Negative Chronotropes Most patients receiving Corlanor will also be treated with a beta-blocker. The risk of bradycardia increases with concomitant administration of drugs that slow heart rate (e.g., digoxin, amiodarone, beta-blockers). Monitor heart rate in patients taking Corlanor with other negative chronotropes. 7.3 Pacemakers in Adults Corlanor dosing is based on heart rate reduction, targeting a heart rate of 50 to 60 beats per minute in adults [see Dos ag e and Administration ( 2.1 )] . Patients with demand pacemakers set to a rate ≥ 60 beats per minute cannot achieve a target heart rate < 60 beats per minute, and these patients were excluded from clinical trials [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . The use of Corlanor is not recommended in patients with demand pacemakers set to rates ≥ 60 beats per minute.
