Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. Consider SKYCLARYS dosage reduction with monitoring if use is unavoidable. ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 )

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on SKYCLARYS CYP3A4 Inhibitors Omaveloxolone is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use of SKYCLARYS with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is expected to result in clinically significant increased exposure of omaveloxolone [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Avoid concomitant use of SKYCLARYS with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. If use cannot be avoided, dosage modifications are recommended [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )]. CYP3A4 Inducers Omaveloxolone is a CYP3A4 substrate.

Concomitant use of SKYCLARYS with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers is expected to result in clinically significant decreased exposure of omaveloxolone [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce the effectiveness of SKYCLARYS. Avoid concomitant use of SKYCLARYS with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers.

7.2 Effect of SKYCLARYS on Other Drugs CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 Substrates Omaveloxolone is a weak inducer of CYP3A4 and CYP2C8. Concomitant use with SKYCLARYS can reduce the exposure of CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 substrates which may reduce the activity of these substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Refer to the prescribing information of substrates of CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 for dosing instructions if used concomitantly with SKYCLARYS and monitor for lack of efficacy of the concomitant treatment. Hormonal Contraceptives Omaveloxolone is a weak CYP3A4 inducer [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Concomitant use with SKYCLARYS may reduce the efficacy of hormonal contraceptives.

Advise patients to avoid concomitant use with combined hormonal contraceptives (e.g., pill, patch, ring), implants, and progestin only pills [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.3 )] .

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to SKYCLARYS during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to enroll pregnant patients, or pregnant women may register themselves in the program by calling 1-866-609-1785 or by sending an email to SkyclarysPregnancySurveillance@ppd.com. Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risks associated with the use of SKYCLARYS in pregnant women.

In animal studies, administration of omaveloxolone during pregnancy or throughout pregnancy and lactation produced evidence of developmental toxicity (embryofetal mortality and growth impairment, and mortality, growth impairment, and neurobehavioral deficits in offspring) at plasma exposures similar to or less than exposures in humans (see Animal Data ). 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. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.

Data Animal Data Oral administration of omaveloxolone (0, 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats throughout organogenesis resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development; however, in a dose range-finding study, oral administration of omaveloxolone at doses up to 30 mg/kg/day to pregnant rats throughout organogenesis produced increases in post-implantation loss and resorptions, resulting in a decrease in viable fetuses, and reduced fetal weight at the highest dose tested. At the highest dose tested in the pivotal study (10 mg/kg/day), plasma exposure (AUC) was approximately 5 times that in humans at the recommended human dose (RHD) of 150 mg/day.

Oral administration of omaveloxolone (0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits throughout organogenesis resulted in increased embryofetal mortality and skeletal variations and reduced fetal weight at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity. At the no-effect dose for adverse effects on embryofetal development (10 mg/kg/day), plasma exposure was less than that in humans at the RHD.

Oral administration of omaveloxolone (0, 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg/day) to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in an increase in stillbirths and impaired neurobehavioral function (increased locomotor activity and learning and memory deficits) in offspring at all doses, reduced body weight in offspring at all but the lowest dose tested, and delayed sexual maturation…
