How to use

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…

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…

FDA Boxed Warning (the FDA’s most serious warning)

Boxed (black-box) warning — from the FDA label

Differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal, can occur with REZLIDHIA treatment. Symptoms may include dyspnea, pulmonary infiltrates/pleuropericardial effusion, kidney injury, hypotension, fever, and weight gain. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, withhold REZLIDHIA and initiate treatment with corticosteroids and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. Differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal, can occur with REZLIDHIA treatment. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, withhold REZLIDHIA and initiate corticosteroids and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution. ( 5.1 )

Warnings

Important safety information

Hepatotoxicity : Monitor liver function tests during treatment with REZLIDHIA. If hepatotoxicity occurs, interrupt and reduce or discontinue REZLIDHIA. ( 2.3 , 5.2 ) 5.1 Differentiation Syndrome REZLIDHIA can cause differentiation syndrome. In the clinical trial of REZLIDHIA in patients with relapsed or refractory AML, differentiation syndrome occurred in 16% (25/153) of patients, with grade 3 or 4 differentiation syndrome occurring in 8% of patients treated, and fatalities in 1% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells and may be life-threatening or fatal. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome in patients treated with REZLIDHIA included leukocytosis, dyspnea, pulmonary infiltrates/pleuropericardial effusion, kidney injury, fever, edema, pyrexia, and weight gain. Of the 25 patients who experienced differentiation syndrome, 19 (76%) recovered after treatment or after dosage interruption of REZLIDHIA. Differentiation syndrome occurred as early as 1 day and up to 18 months after REZLIDHIA initiation and has been observed with or without concomitant leukocytosis. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, temporarily withhold REZLIDHIA and initiate systemic corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg IV every 12 hours) for a minimum of 3 days and until resolution of signs and symptoms. If concomitant leukocytosis is observed, initiate treatment with hydroxyurea, as clinically indicated. Taper corticosteroids and hydroxyurea after resolution of symptoms. Differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroids and/or hydroxyurea treatment. Institute supportive measures and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement; withhold dose of REZLIDHIA and consider dose reduction based on recurrence [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . 5.2 Hepatotoxicity REZLIDHIA can cause hepatotoxicity, presenting as increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), increased blood alkaline phosphatase, and/or elevated bilirubin. Of 153 patients with relapsed or refractory AML who received REZLIDHIA, hepatotoxicity occurred in 23% of patients; 13% experienced grade 3 or 4 hepatotoxicity [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . One patient treated with REZLIDHIA in combination with azacitidine in the clinical trial, a combination for which REZLIDHIA is not indicated, died from complications of drug-induced liver injury. The median time to onset of hepatotoxicity in patients with relapsed or refractory AML treated with REZLIDHIA was 1.2 months (range: 1 day to 17.5 months) after REZLIDHIA initiation, and the median time to resolution was 12 days (range: 1 day to 17 months). The most common hepatotoxicities were elevations of ALT, AST, blood alkaline phosphatase, and blood bilirubin. Monitor patients frequently for clinical symptoms of hepatic dysfunction such as fatigue, anorexia, right upper abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice. Obtain baseline liver function tests prior to initiation of REZLIDHIA, at least once weekly for the first two months, once every other week for the third month, once in the fourth month, and once every other month for the duration of therapy. If hepatic dysfunction occurs, withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue REZLIDHIA based on recurrence/severity [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] .

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 )] .
