Kinase Inhibitor

Dosing in kidney impairment

This label has no separate kidney-impairment dosing section. Check warnings and clinical pharmacology in the full label.

Dosing in liver impairment

Hepatic Impairment Leniolisib is extensively (60%) metabolized by the liver. The effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of leniolisib has not been studied. The use of JOENJA in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment is not recommended [see Clinical Pharmacology] .

Preparation and administration

Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of JOENJA in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older weighing 45 kg or greater is 70 mg administered orally twice daily approximately 12 hours apart, with or without food. There is no recommended dosage for patients weighing less than 45 kg. Advise patients that if a dose is missed by more than 6 hours, wait and take the next dose at the usual time.

Advise patients that if vomiting occurs within 1 hour after taking JOENJA, take JOENJA as soon as possible. If vomiting occurs more than 1 hour after dosing, wait and take the next dose at the usual time.

Label text (3 paragraphs)

Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) BCRP, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3 Substrates: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.2 )

7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on JOENJA Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Concomitant use of JOENJA with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided. JOENJA is a substrate of CYP3A4. Leniolisib exposure was increased 2-fold when co-administered with itraconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Concomitant use of JOENJA with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided. JOENJA is a substrate of CYP3A4. Concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers may result in reduced leniolisib exposure and thus reduced leniolisib efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

7.2 Effects of JOENJA on Other Drugs BCRP, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3 Substrates Concomitant use of JOENJA with BCRP, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3 substrates should be avoided. JOENJA is an inhibitor of BCRP, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3 transporters. Administration of JOENJA increases exposure of BCRP, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3 substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

Liver injury (LiverTox)

E

Likelihood score E: Unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury.

Leniolisib is an orally administered kinase inhibitor that is used to treat adults and children 12 years of age or older with Activated Phosphoinositide-3-kinase-delta Syndrome (APDS), an extremely rare, inherited immunodeficiency disease. Leniolisib has had very limited clinical use but has not been reported to cause elevations in liver enzymes and has not been linked to episodes of clinically apparent liver injury.

ABCDEA: well known cause; E: unlikely cause. [HD]: high doses only.

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary JOENJA can cause fetal harm based on findings from animal studies. There are no available data on JOENJA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of leniolisib to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at exposures approximately 2-6 times the MRHD on an AUC basis, produced embryofetal toxicity including malformations ( see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.

All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage of clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Leniolisib was administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of 10, 30, and 120 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Day 6 to Day 17.

Leniolisib at a dose of 120 mg/kg/day was associated with decreased fetal body weight, visceral and skeletal variations, and external, visceral, and skeletal malformations (eye bulge, microphthalmia, anophthalmia, and reduction in orbital socket size) in the presence of maternal toxicity (decrease in body weight gain) at exposures approximately 6 times the MRHD on an AUC basis. No developmental toxicity was observed in rats at an exposure approximately 2 times the MRHD (on an AUC basis at a maternal oral dose of 30 mg/kg/day). Leniolisib was administered orally to pregnant rabbits at doses of 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Day 7 to Day 20.

Leniolisib at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day was associated with skeletal variations as well as visceral and skeletal malformations (microphthalmia and reduction in orbital socket size) in the presence of maternal toxicity (decrease in body weight gain) at exposures approximately 2 times the MRHD on an AUC basis. No developmental toxicity was observed in rabbits at an exposure approximately 0.3 times the MRHD (on an AUC basis at a maternal oral dose of 30 mg/kg/day). In a pre- and postnatal developmental toxicity study, leniolisib was administered orally to pregnant rats at oral doses of 10, 30, and 90 mg/kg/day from gestation day 7 through postnatal day 21.

Leniolisib at a dose of 90 mg/kg/day (approximately 5 times the exposure at the MRHD on an AUC basis) was associated…

Breastfeeding (LactMed)

No information is available on the clinical use of leniolisib during breastfeeding. Because leniolisib is 94.5% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during leniolisib therapy and for 1 week after the last dose.
