Plasma Kallikrein Inhibitor
Dosing in kidney impairment
Renal Impairment Mild to Moderate Renal Impairment Adult and Pediatric Patients Aged 2 Years and Older No dosage modification of ORLADEYO is recommended [see Clinical Pharmacology ] . Severe Renal Impairment Adult and Pediatric Patients Aged 12 Years and Older No dosage modification of ORLADEYO is recommended. Pediatric Patients Aged 2 to Less than 12 Years Avoid use of ORLADEYO.
End-Stage Renal Disease ORLADEYO has not been studied in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (CL CR <15 mL/min or eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 or patients requiring hemodialysis) and therefore is not recommended for use in these patient populations [see Clinical Pharmacology ] .
Dosing in liver impairment
Recommended Dosage in Patients with Hepatic Impairment Mild Hepatic Impairment (Child-Pugh Class A) Adult and Pediatric Patients 2 Years of Age and Older No dosage modification of ORLADEYO is recommended [see Use in Specific Populations and Clinical Pharmacology ] . Moderate or Severe Hepatic Impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C) Adult and Pediatric Patients 12 Years of Age and Older Recommended dosage of ORLADEYO capsules is 110 mg taken orally once daily with food [see Use in Specific Populations and Clinical Pharmacology ] .
Pediatric Patients 2 Years to Less than 12 Years of Age Avoid use of ORLADEYO [see Use in Specific Populations ] .
Preparation and administration
Administration Instructions for Oral Pellets Do not chew or crush ORLADEYO oral pellets because this will affect the film coating (taste masking) and result in bitter taste. Administer one packet of oral pellets as follows: Pour the entire contents of one packet directly into the mouth and swallow immediately with non-acidic liquid (e.g., water or milk).
OR Sprinkle the entire contents of one packet over approximately one tablespoon (15 mL) of soft, non-acidic food and consume immediately. Food should be at or below room temperature. Examples of soft, non-acidic foods include pudding, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, pureed peas, pureed bananas, and pureed carrots. Acidic foods such as yogurt and applesauce should not be used because they can dissolve the film coating (taste masking) and result in a bitter taste .
The film coating (taste masking) remains intact for 10 minutes. If the pellets are not consumed within 10 minutes of sprinkling over food, they should be discarded.

Label text (5 paragraphs)
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS P-gp inducers: Avoid use with ORLADEYO. ( 7.1 ) CYP2D6, CYP3A4 or P-gp Substrates: When used concomitantly with ORLADEYO, closely monitor or modify the dosage of the substrates where minimal increases in concentration may lead to serious adverse reactions. ( 7.2 , 12.3 )
7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on ORLADEYO P-gp Inducers Berotralstat is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP. P-gp inducers may decrease berotralstat plasma concentration, leading to reduced efficacy of ORLADEYO. Avoid concomitant use of P-gp inducers with ORLADEYO.
7.2 Effect of ORLADEYO on Other Drugs CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 Substrates ORLADEYO at a dose of 150 mg is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. Concomitant use of ORLADEYO with CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 substrates can increase exposure of the CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 substrates and may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with the substrates. If ORLADEYO is concomitantly used with CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 substrates where minimal increases in the concentration of the substrates may lead to serious adverse reactions, closely monitor or modify the dosage of the CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Refer to the Prescribing Information of the CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 substrate.
Desogestrel Concomitant use of ORLADEYO with desogestrel increases exposure to etonogestrel, the active metabolite of desogestrel, and may increase the risk of desogestrel-associated adverse reactions. Consider the benefits and risks when using ORLADEYO concomitantly with desogestrel [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . P-gp Substrates ORLADEYO at 2-times the maximum recommended dose of 150 mg is a P-gp inhibitor and can increase exposure of P-gp substrates, leading to increased risk of adverse reactions associated with the substrates. Higher-than-recommended dosages of ORLADEYO are not recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
If ORLADEYO is concomitantly used with P-gp substrates where minimal increases in the concentration of the substrates may lead to serious adverse reactions, closely monitor or modify the dosage of the P-gp substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Refer to the Prescribing Information of the P-gp substrate.

Liver injury (LiverTox)
E*Likelihood score E*: Unproven but suspected rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury.
Berotralstat is a small molecule inhibitor of plasma kallikrein that is used to prevent acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adults and children 12 years of age or older. Berotralstat has been linked to occasional mild-to-moderate elevations in serum aminotransferase levels during therapy but has not been implicated in instances of clinically apparent liver injury with symptoms or jaundice.
ABCDEA: well known cause; E: unlikely cause. [HD]: high doses only.
Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are insufficient data in pregnant women available to inform drug-related risks with ORLADEYO use in pregnancy. Based on animal reproduction studies, no evidence of structural alterations was observed when berotralstat was administered orally to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to approximately 10- and 2-times, respectively, the maximum recommended human daily dose (MRHDD) in adults on an AUC basis (see Data ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S.
general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of berotralstat to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis did not cause fetal structural alterations. The berotralstat dose in rats and rabbits was up to approximately 10- and 2-times, respectively, the MRHDD in adults (on an AUC basis at maternal doses of 75 and 100 mg/kg/day, respectively).
In a pre- and postnatal development study in rats, oral administration of berotralstat to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis and until delivery at doses up to 45 mg/kg/day (approximately 2-times of the MRHDD on a mg/m 2 basis) did not cause fetal structural alterations either. Berotralstat concentrations in the fetal blood were approximately 5% to 11% of the maternal blood.
Breastfeeding (LactMed)
Berotralstat is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor indicated for prophylaxis of hereditary angioedema attacks. No information is available on the excretion of berotralstat into breastmilk. Because berotralstat is about 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amounts in milk are likely to be very low. If berotralstat is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
