What is Livdelzi?

From the FDA label:LIVDELZI capsules contain seladelpar lysine, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-delta (δ) agonist. Seladelpar is a single enantiomer of the R-configuration and is present as a lysine dihydrate salt. Seladelpar lysine dihydrate is a white to off-white powder with a molecular formula of C 21 H 23 F 3 O 5 S ∙C 6 H 14 N 2 O 2 ∙2H 2 O and a molecular weight of 626.7 g/mol. Its solubility in water is pH dependent. It is slightly soluble at low pH and very soluble at high pH. The chemical name for seladelpar lysine dihydrate is 2-[4-[[(2R)-2-ethoxy-3-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]propyl]thio]-2-methylphenoxy]acetic acid, lysine dihydrate, and the chemical structure is: LIVDELZI (seladelpar) capsules are supplied in a 10 mg strength for oral administration. Each capsule contains 14.1 mg of seladelpar lysine and the following inactive ingredients: butylated hydroxytoluene, colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and hard gelatin shells. The light gray opaque (body)/dark blue opaque (cap) capsule shells contain gelatin, titanium dioxide, black iron oxide, yellow iron oxide, red iron oxide and the colorant FD&C Blue #2.

How to use

The recommended dosage of LIVDELZI is 10 mg orally once daily. Administer LIVDELZI with or without food. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of LIVDELZI is 10 mg orally once daily. Administer LIVDELZI with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.2 Administration Modification for Bile Acid Sequestrants Administer LIVDELZI at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after taking bile acid sequestrants, or at as great an interval as possible [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] .

Side effects

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Fractures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Liver Test Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥5% and higher compared to placebo) are headache, abdominal pain, nausea, abdominal distension, and dizziness. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Gilead Sciences, Inc. at 1-800-GILEAD-5 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trial 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. In Trial 1, 193 patients were randomized to receive either LIVDELZI 10 mg (N=128) or placebo (N=65) once daily for 12 months [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . LIVDELZI or placebo was administered in combination with UDCA in 94% of patients and as monotherapy in 6% of patients who were unable to tolerate UDCA. Common Adverse Reactions Table 1 presents common adverse reactions that occurred in Trial 1. Table 1: Common Adverse Reactions Occurring Through Week 52 in Adult Patients with PBC (Trial 1) Included 12 patients (6%) who were intolerant to UDCA and initiated treatment as monotherapy: 8 patients…

Warnings

Important safety information

Fractures : Consider the risk of fracture in patients treated with LIVDELZI. Monitor bone health according to current standards of care. ( 5.1 ) Liver Test Abnormalities : Obtain baseline clinical and laboratory liver assessments prior to starting LIVDELZI and monitor during treatment. Interrupt or discontinue LIVDELZI if the liver tests worsen. ( 5.2 ) Biliary Obstruction : Avoid use in patients with complete biliary obstruction. If biliary obstruction is suspected, interrupt LIVDELZI and treat as clinically indicated. ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Fractures Fractures occurred in 4% of LIVDELZI-treated patients compared to no placebo-treated patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Consider the risk of fracture in the care of patients treated with LIVDELZI and monitor bone health according to current standards of care. 5.2 Liver Test Abnormalities LIVDELZI has been associated with dose-related increases in serum transaminase (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) levels greater than 3-times upper limit of normal (ULN) in PBC patients receiving 50 mg once daily (5-times higher than the recommended dosage) and 200 mg (20-times higher than the recommended dosage) once daily. Transaminase levels returned to pretreatment levels upon LIVDELZI discontinuation. LIVDELZI 10 mg once daily did not show a similar pattern for increases in transaminase levels [see Overdosage (10) ] . Obtain baseline clinical and laboratory assessments at treatment initiation with LIVDELZI and monitor thereafter according to routine patient management. Interrupt LIVDELZI treatment if the liver tests (ALT, AST, total bilirubin [TB], and/or alkaline phosphatase [ALP]) worsen, or the patient develops signs and symptoms consistent with clinical hepatitis (e.g., jaundice, right upper quadrant pain, eosinophilia). Consider permanent discontinuation if liver tests worsen after restarting LIVDELZI. 5.3 Biliary Obstruction Avoid use of LIVDELZI in patients with complete biliary obstruction. If biliary obstruction is suspected, interrupt LIVDELZI and treat as clinically indicated.

Who should not take Livdelzi

None. None.

Overdose — what happens if you take too much

PBC patients who received 5-times the recommended dosage or 20-times the recommended dosage of LIVDELZI experienced an increase in liver transaminases, muscle pain, and/or elevations in creatine phosphokinase, which resolved upon LIVDELZI discontinuation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . There is no specific treatment for overdose with LIVDELZI. General supportive care of the patient is indicated, as appropriate. If indicated, elimination of unabsorbed drug should be achieved by emesis or gastric lavage; usual precautions should be observed to maintain the airway. Because seladelpar is highly bound to plasma proteins, hemodialysis should not be considered.

Interactions

Probenecid : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Strong CYP2C9 Inhibitors : Monitor for adverse effects. ( 7.1 ) Dual Moderate CYP2C9 and Moderate to Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Monitor for adverse effects. ( 7.1 ) CYP2C9 Poor Metabolizers using Moderate to Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Monitor for adverse effects. ( 7.1 ) Dual or Multiple Clinical Inhibitors of Drug Transporters OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP : Monitor for adverse effects. ( 7.1 ) Rifampin : Monitor biochemical response (e.g., ALP and bilirubin) when patients initiate rifampin. ( 7.1 ) Bile Acid Sequestrants : Administer at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after taking a bile acid sequestrant, or at as great an interval as possible. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on LIVDELZI Table 2 includes clinically significant drug interactions affecting LIVDELZI. Table 2: Clinically Significant Interactions Affecting LIVDELZI Concomitant Drug or Class Potential Effect on Seladelpar Exposure ↑ = Increase, ↓ = Decrease. Clinical Intervention Probenecid ↑ seladelpar Avoid concomitant administration of LIVDELZI with probenecid. Strong CYP2C9 Inhibitors ↑ seladelpar Monitor patients for adverse effects during concomitant use of LIVDELZI with strong CYP2C9 inhibitors. Dual Moderate CYP2C9 and Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors (e.g., fluconazole) ↑ seladelpar Monitor patients for adverse effects during concomitant use of LIVDELZI with drugs that are dual moderate CYP2C9 and moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. CYP2C9 Poor Metabolizers Using Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors ↑ seladelpar Monitor patients who are CYP2C9 poor metabolizers for adverse effects during concomitant use of LIVDELZI with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Dual or Multiple Clinical Inhibitors of Drug Transporters OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP (e.g, cyclosporine) ↑ seladelpar Monitor patients for adverse effects during concomitant use of LIVDELZI with dual or multiple clinical inhibitors of drug transporters OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP. Rifampin ↓ seladelpar Concomitant use of LIVDELZI with rifampin, an inducer of metabolizing enzymes, may result in delayed or suboptimal LIVDELZI biochemical response. Monitor the biochemical response (e.g., ALP and bilirubin) when patients initiate rifampin during LIVDELZI treatment. Bile Acid Sequestrants ↓ seladelpar Bile acid sequestrants may interfere with the action of LIVDELZI by reducing its absorption and systemic exposure, which may reduce LIVDELZI efficacy. Administer LIVDELZI at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after taking a bile acid sequestrant, or at as great an interval as possible [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .
