Kinase Inhibitor

Dosing in kidney impairment

Renal Impairment Avoid use in patients with severe renal impairment. Patients with severe renal impairment were not studied. Dose modification is not required for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology ] .

Dosing in liver impairment

Hepatic Impairment Avoid administration of WAYRILZ in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B-C) because of potential for increased rilzabrutinib exposures. Dose modification is not required for patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A) [see Clinical Pharmacology ] .

Label text (7 paragraphs)

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid co-administration with moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors. ( 7.1 ) CYP3A Inducers: Avoid co-administration with moderate or strong CYP3A inducers. ( 7.1 ) Gastric Acid Reducing Agents: Avoid co-administration with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). WAYRILZ should be administered at least 2 hours before taking an antacid or H2 receptor antagonist. ( 7.1 )

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on WAYRILZ Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of WAYRILZ with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. If a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided, and these inhibitors will be used short term (such as anti-infectives for seven days or less), interrupt treatment with WAYRILZ. Avoid concomitant use of grapefruit, starfruit and products containing these fruits, and Seville oranges with WAYRILZ, as these are moderate and strong inhibitors of CYP3A. Rilzabrutinib is a CYP3A substrate.

Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases rilzabrutinib C max and AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which increases the risk of WAYRILZ adverse reactions. Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant use of WAYRILZ with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Rilzabrutinib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases rilzabrutinib C max and AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce WAYRILZ efficacy. Gastric Acid Reducing Agents Administer the dose of WAYRILZ at least 2 hours before administration of an antacid or histamine H2 receptor antagonist.

Avoid concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors with WAYRILZ. Rilzabrutinib exhibits pH-dependent solubility. Acid reducing agents decrease rilzabrutinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce WAYRILZ efficacy.

7.2 Effect of WAYRILZ on Other Drugs CYP3A Substrates Monitor for adverse reactions of the concurrently administered CYP3A substrate more frequently and consider dosage adjustment in accordance with the Prescribing Information of the CYP3A substrate. Rilzabrutinib is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A and increases exposure of these substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which increases the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

P-gp, BCRP, and OATP1B Substrates Monitor for adverse reactions of the concurrently administered P-gp, BCRP, or OATP1B substrate more frequently, unless otherwise recommended in the substrate Prescribing Information, when WAYRILZ is used concomitantly with P-gp, BCRP, or OATP1B substrates where minimal substrate concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. Rilzabrutinib is an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP and OATP1B in vitro . The effect of concomitant use of WAYRILZ with OATP1B and BCRP substrates has not been established in clinical studies.

However, based on in vitro inhibitory potential [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , concomitant use of WAYRILZ may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal data, WAYRILZ may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of rilzabrutinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at exposures 4- to 10-times the human exposure (based on AUC) at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 400 mg twice daily did not cause adverse developmental effects. However, adverse visceral and skeletal findings occurred in rat fetuses at a maternally toxic dose at exposures 22-times the human exposure (based on AUC) at the MRHD ( see Data ).

There are no available clinical data on the use of WAYRILZ during pregnancy to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. 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 defects, loss, and other adverse outcomes. 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 Rilzabrutinib given to pregnant rats by oral gavage at 50, 150 or 300 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 17) did not cause adverse effects on embryo-fetal development at exposures approximately 10-times the clinical exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), based on AUC.

Increased incidence of post-implantation loss (25%), delayed ossification associated with a markedly lower (24%) mean fetal weight, and increased skeletal (scoliosis) and visceral malformations (abnormalities of major vessels, urogenital tract, and kidney) occurred in a preliminary study in rats at a maternally toxic dose of 500 mg/kg/day that resulted in exposures 22-times the clinical exposure at the MRHD, based on AUC.

Rilzabrutinib given to pregnant rabbits by oral gavage at 10, 30 or 100 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 19) did not cause adverse effects on embryo-fetal development at exposures approximately 4-times the clinical exposures at the MRHD, based on AUC. Renal visceral malformations occurred in a single fetus in a preliminary study in rabbits at 150 mg/kg/day that resulted in exposures 5.6-times the clinical exposure at the MRHD, based on AUC. In a pre- and postnatal developmental toxicity study, pregnant rats were given rilzabrutinib by oral gavage at doses of 50, 150 or 300 mg/kg/day…
