What is Voranigo?
From the FDA label:VORANIGO tablets contain vorasidenib, an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) and isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) inhibitor. Vorasidenib is present as the hemicitric acid hemihydrate co-crystal. The chemical name of the co-crystal is 6-(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)- N 2 , N 4 -bis[(2 R )-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine, 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, hydrate (2:1:1). It has the following chemical structure: The molecular formula is C 14 H 13 ClF 6 N 6 • ½ C 6 H 8 O 7• ½ H 2 O and the molecular weight is 519.8 g/mol. Vorasidenib hemicitric acid hemihydrate is a white to off-white solid practically insoluble in aqueous solutions between pH 1.2 to 6.8. VORANIGO is available as a 10 mg and 40 mg strength film-coated tablet for oral administration. The strengths reflect the amount of active ingredient vorasidenib in each tablet. Each tablet core contains the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, silicified microcrystalline cellulose and sodium lauryl sulfate. The tablet coating includes hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, macrogol and titanium dioxide. Each tablet is printed with black ink that contains black iron oxide, hypromellose and propylene glycol.

Side effects
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common (≥15%) adverse reactions include fatigue, headache, COVID-19, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and seizure. Grade 3 or 4 (≥2%) laboratory abnormalities were ALT increased, AST increased, GGT increased, and neutrophils decreased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Servier Pharmaceuticals at 1-800-807-6124 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. Adverse reactions described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to VORANIGO 40 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in the 244 patients with astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with susceptible IDH1 or IDH2 mutation in trials AG881-C-002 (NCT02481154, n=11), AG120-881-001 (NCT03343197, n=14) and INDIGO (NCT04164901, n=167 randomized patients and n=52 crossover patients). Among the 244 patients who received VORANIGO, 78% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 44% were exposed for greater than one year. In…
Warnings
Important safety information
Hepatotoxicity : VORANIGO can cause hepatic transaminase elevations, which can lead to hepatic failure, hepatic necrosis, and autoimmune hepatitis. Monitor liver function tests every 2 weeks during the first 2 months of treatment, then monthly for the first 2 years of treatment, and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose or discontinue VORANIGO based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : VORANIGO can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective nonhormonal contraception. ( 5.2 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity VORANIGO can cause hepatic transaminase elevations, which can lead to hepatic failure, hepatic necrosis, and autoimmune hepatitis. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , 58% of patients treated with VORANIGO experienced increased ALT and 44% of patients experienced increased AST. Grade 3 or 4 increased ALT or AST occurred in 9% and 4.8% of patients respectively. Among these patients, 4.1% (10/244) had concurrent Grade 3 to 4 ALT or AST elevations. A total of 34% of patients treated with VORANIGO had increased gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), of these 2.2% were Grade 3 or 4. Bilirubin increases occurred in 4.8% of patients treated with VORANIGO, with 0.4% Grade 3 or 4. Nine percent of patients treated with VORANIGO had increased alkaline phosphatase, with 0.9% Grade 3 or 4. Two patients met the laboratory criteria for Hy's Law and had concurrent elevations in ALT or AST >3 times the upper limit of normal and total bilirubin >2 times the upper limit of normal; these events were associated with cases of autoimmune hepatitis and hepatic failure. The median time to first onset of increased ALT or AST was 57 days (range: 1 to 1049). Acute hepatitis occurred in the postmarketing setting. Permanent discontinuation of VORANIGO was required for 2.9% of patients with ALT elevations, 1.6% of AST elevations, and 0.4% of GGT elevations. Dosage reductions of VORANIGO were required for 7% of patients with ALT elevations, 1.2% of AST elevations, and 0.4% of GGT elevations. Dosage interruptions were required in 14% of patients with ALT elevations, 6% of AST elevations, and 1.6% of GGT elevations. Monitor liver laboratory tests (AST, ALT, GGT, total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase) prior to the start of VORANIGO, every 2 weeks during the first 2 months of treatment, then monthly for the first 2 years of treatment, and as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase elevations. Reduce the dose, withhold, or permanently discontinue VORANIGO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. 5.2 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies, VORANIGO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of vorasidenib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused embryo-fetal toxicities at doses ≥45 times the human exposure based on the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) at the highest recommended dose. Oral administration of vorasidenib to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal toxicity at doses ≥8 times the human exposure based on the AUC at the highest recommended dose. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective nonhormonal contraception during treatment with VORANIGO and for 3 months after the last dose, since VORANIGO can render some hormonal contraceptives ineffective [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ] . Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VORANIGO and for 3 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] .

Interactions
CYP1A2 Inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors. ( 7.1 ) CYP1A2 Inducers : Avoid concomitant use of moderate CYP1A2 inducers and smoking tobacco. ( 7.1 ) Certain CYP3A Substrates : Avoid concomitant use with CYP3A substrates, where a minimal concentration change can reduce efficacy. ( 7.2 ) Hormonal Contraception : If concomitant use cannot be avoided, use with nonhormonal contraception methods. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on VORANIGO Table 5: Effect of Other Drugs on VORANIGO Strong and Moderate CYP1A2 Inhibitors Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO with a strong or moderate CYP1A2 inhibitor may increase vorasidenib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VORANIGO with strong and moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors. If concomitant use of moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors cannot be avoided, monitor for increased adverse reactions and modify the dosage for adverse reactions as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Moderate CYP1A2 Inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO with moderate CYP1A2 inducers and smoking tobacco may decrease vorasidenib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the anti-tumor activity of VORANIGO. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VORANIGO with moderate CYP1A2 inducers and smoking tobacco. 7.2 Effect of VORANIGO on Other Drugs Table 6: Effect of VORANIGO on Other Drugs Certain CYP3A Substrates Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO with CYP3A substrates may decrease plasma concentrations of CYP3A substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VORANIGO with CYP3A substrates, where a minimal concentration change may lead to reduced therapeutic effect. Hormonal Contraception Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO may decrease the concentrations of hormonal contraceptives, which may lead to contraception failure and/or an increase in breakthrough bleeding [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management If concomitant use cannot be avoided, use with nonhormonal contraception methods.
