Preparation and administration

Important Administration Instructions

Pretomanid Tablets must be administered only in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid as part of the recommended dosage regimen [see Dosage and Administration ] .

Administer the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid by directly observed therapy (DOT).

Pretomanid Tablets must be administered in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid with food [see Clinical Pharmacology ] .

Emphasize the need for compliance with the full course of therapy to patients [see Patient Counseling Information ] .

If the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid is interrupted by a healthcare provider for safety reasons, missed doses can be made up at the end of the treatment; doses of linezolid alone missed due to linezolid adverse reactions should not be made up [see Dosage and Administration ] .

Dosing of the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid can be extended beyond 26 weeks, if necessary [see Clinical Studies ] .

Drug interactions

Label text (7 paragraphs)

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampin or efavirenz: Avoid co-administration. ( 5.6 , 7.1 ) • Organic anion transporter-3 (OAT3) substrates: Monitor for OAT3 substrate drug-related adverse reactions and consider dosage reduction for OAT3 substrate drugs, if needed. ( 7.2 )

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on Pretomanid CYP3A4 Inducers Co-administration of pretomanid with rifampin and efavirenz resulted in a decrease in pretomanid plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Avoid co-administration of the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid with rifampin, efavirenz, or other strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Refer to the prescribing information for bedaquiline for additional information about drug interactions with CYP3A4. Lopinavir/Ritonavir Co-administration of pretomanid with lopinavir/ritonavir did not affect the plasma concentrations of pretomanid [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Lopinavir/ritonavir can be co-administered with the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid.

7.2 Effect of Pretomanid on Other Drugs Midazolam Co-administration of pretomanid with the CYP3A4 substrate, midazolam, resulted in no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam or its major metabolite, 1-hydroxy-midazolam [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . The combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid can be administered with CYP3A4 substrate drugs. Organic Anion Transporter-3 (OAT3), BCRP, OATP1B3 and P-gp Substrates The effect of co-administration of pretomanid on the pharmacokinetics of OAT3 substrates in humans is unknown.

However, in vitro studies indicate that pretomanid significantly inhibits the OAT3 drug transporter [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which could result in increased concentrations of OAT3 substrate drugs clinically and may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with these drugs. If pretomanid is co-administered with OAT3 substrate drugs (e.g., methotrexate, indomethacin, ciprofloxacin), increase monitoring for OAT3 substrate drug-related adverse reactions and consider dosage reduction for OAT3 substrate drugs, if needed. Refer to the prescribing information of the co-administered drug for dosage reduction information.

In vitro studies cannot exclude the possibility that pretomanid is an inhibitor of BCRP, OATP1B3 and P-gp [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . No clinical studies have been performed to investigate these interactions. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that co-administration of pretomanid with sensitive OATP1B3 substrates (e.g., valsartan, statins), BCRP substrates (e.g., rosuvastatin, prazosin, glyburide, sulfasalazine) and P-gp substrates (e.g., digoxin, dabigatran etexilate, verapamil) may increase their exposure.

If pretomanid is co-administered with substrates of OATP1B3, BCRP, or P-gp, increased monitoring for drug-related adverse reactions to the co-administered medicinal product should be performed.

Contraindications

Pretomanid Tablets used in the combination regimen with bedaquiline and linezolid are contraindicated in patients for whom bedaquiline and/or linezolid are contraindicated. Refer to the bedaquiline and linezolid prescribing information. • Pretomanid Tablets used in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid are contraindicated in patients for whom bedaquiline and/or linezolid is contraindicated.

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no studies or available data on pretomanid use in pregnant women to inform any drug-associated risks. There are risks associated with active tuberculosis during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ). When Pretomanid Tablets are administered in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid, the pregnancy information for bedaquiline and linezolid also applies to this combination regimen. Refer to the bedaquiline and linezolid prescribing information for more information on bedaquiline and linezolid associated risks of use during pregnancy.

In animal reproduction studies, there was increased post-implantation loss in the presence of maternal toxicity (reduced bodyweight and feed consumption) with oral administration of pretomanid during organogenesis in rats at doses about 4 times the exposure at the recommended dose in humans. There were no adverse embryo fetal effects in rats or rabbits dosed with oral pretomanid during organogenesis at doses up to approximately 2 times the exposure in humans. The estimated 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 United States general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Active tuberculosis in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes including maternal anemia, caesarean delivery, preterm birth, low birth weight, birth asphyxia, and perinatal infant death. Data Animal Data In animal reproduction studies, pregnant rats were dosed orally with pretomanid at 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg/day during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 through 17).

Rats showed increased post-implantation loss in the presence of maternal toxicity (including reduced body weight and feed consumption) at 100 mg/kg/day, approximately 4 times the exposure in humans for a 200 mg dose on an AUC basis. There were no adverse embryofetal effects in rats dosed with oral pretomanid during organogenesis at doses up to approximately 2 times the exposure in humans. Pregnant rabbits were dosed orally with pretomanid during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 through 19) at 10, 30, and 60 mg/kg/day. No evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed when oral doses of pretomanid were administered to dams during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 to 19) at…
