Boxed warning

WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME Differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal, has occurred with KOMZIFTI. Signs and symptoms may include fever, joint pain, hypotension, hypoxia, dyspnea, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, pleural or pericardial effusions, pulmonary infiltrates, acute kidney injury, and rashes. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, interrupt KOMZIFTI and initiate oral or intravenous corticosteroids with hemodynamic and laboratory monitoring until symptom resolution; resume KOMZIFTI upon symptom improvement [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ), and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .

Menin Inhibitor

Dosing in kidney impairment

Renal Impairment No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild or moderate (CL Cr 30 to 89 mL/min) renal impairment. The effects of severe (CL Cr less than 30 mL/min) renal impairment have not been studied [see Clinical Pharmacology].

Dosing in liver impairment

Hepatic Impairment No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild (bilirubin less than or equal to ULN and AST greater than ULN or bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN) or moderate (bilirubin 1.5 to 3 x ULN) hepatic impairment. The effects of severe hepatic impairment (bilirubin greater than 3 x ULN) have not been studied [see Clinical Pharmacology] .

Preparation and administration

Administration Instructions Administer KOMZIFTI once daily on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal) [see Clinical Pharmacology]. Administer KOMZIFTI orally at about the same time each day. Swallow capsules whole. Do not open, break, or chew the capsules. If a dose of KOMZIFTI is missed or not taken at the usual time, administer the dose as soon as possible on the same day and at least 12 hours prior to the next scheduled dose.

Return to the normal schedule the following day. Do not administer 2 doses within 12 hours.

Label text (5 paragraphs)

Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Monitor more frequently for adverse reactions. ( 7.1 ) Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Proton Pump Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) H2 Receptor Antagonists and Antacids: Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, modify KOMZIFTI administration time. ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) Drugs that Prolong the QTc Interval: Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor patients more frequently for QTc interval prolongations. ( 5.2 , 7.1 )

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on KOMZIFTI Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors Monitor patients more frequently for KOMZIFTI-associated adverse reactions. Ziftomenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A. Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors increases ziftomenib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions such as QT prolongation. Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Ziftomenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A.

Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease ziftomenib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce the efficacy of KOMZIFTI. Gastric Acid Reducing Agents Concomitant administration of ziftomenib with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) decreases ziftomenib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce the efficacy of KOMZIFTI. Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with PPIs. Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) or locally acting antacids. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, modify KOMZIFTI administration time [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] .

Drugs that Prolong the QT Interval Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with other product(s) with a known potential to prolong the QTc interval. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, obtain ECGs when initiating, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Interrupt KOMZIFTI if the QTc interval is > 500 ms or the change from baseline is > 60 ms [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )] . Ziftomenib causes QTc interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] .

Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with other products that prolong the QTc interval may result in a greater increase in the QTc interval and adverse reactions associated with QTc interval prolongation, including Torsades de pointes, other serious arrhythmias, and sudden death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , KOMZIFTI can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on KOMZIFTI use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of ziftomenib to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality, structural abnormalities, and altered fetal growth at maternal exposures approximately 0.3 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose (see Data ) .

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. 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 Ziftomenib was administered orally twice daily to pregnant mice at doses of 6, 20, and 60 mg/kg/day during organogenesis (gestation days 6-15).

Decreased fetal body weight, embryo-fetal lethality, fetal external and skeletal malformations and variations (cleft palate, fused cervical arches, absent lumbar vertebrae fused and/or misaligned costal cartilage, absent or short rib, supernumerary site in the suture bone or split palatine of the skull, and/or fused, unossified, and/or incompletely ossified sternebrae) were noted at all doses. At the dose of 6 mg/kg/day in mice, the maternal exposure was approximately 0.3 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 600 mg once daily.
