2.1 Patient Selection

Select patients for the treatment of relapsed or refractory AML with REZLIDHIA based on the presence of IDH1 mutations in blood or bone marrow [see Clinical Trials (14.1)]. Information on FDA- approved tests for the detection of IDH1 mutations in AML is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.

2.2 Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage of REZLIDHIA is 150 mg taken orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Administer REZLIDHIA capsules orally about the same time each day. Do not administer 2 doses within 8 hours. Take on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. For patients without disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 months to allow time for clinical response.

Swallow REZLIDHIA capsules whole. Do not break, open, or chew the capsules. If a dose of REZLIDHIA is vomited, do not administer a replacement dose; wait until the next scheduled dose is due. If a dose of REZLIDHIA is missed or not taken at the usual time, administer the dose as soon as possible and at least 8 hours prior to the next scheduled dose. Return to the normal schedule the following day.

2.3 Monitoring and Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions

Assess blood counts, and blood chemistries including liver function tests prior to initiation of REZLIDHIA, at least once weekly for the first two months; once every other week for the third month; once in the fourth month, and once every other month for the duration of therapy. Manage any abnormalities promptly [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 and 5.2) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Interrupt dosing or reduce dose for toxicities. See Table 1 for dosage modification guidelines.

5.1 Differentiation Syndrome

REZLIDHIA can cause differentiation syndrome. In the clinical trial of REZLIDHIA in patients with relapsed or refractory AML, differentiation syndrome occurred in 16% (25/153) of patients, with grade 3 or 4 differentiation syndrome occurring in 8% of patients treated, and fatalities in 1% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells and may be life-threatening or fatal. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome in patients treated with REZLIDHIA included leukocytosis, dyspnea, pulmonary infiltrates/pleuropericardial effusion, kidney injury, fever, edema, pyrexia, and weight gain. Of the 25 patients who experienced differentiation syndrome, 19 (76%) recovered after treatment or after dosage interruption of REZLIDHIA. Differentiation syndrome occurred as early as 1 day and up to 18 months after REZLIDHIA initiation and has been observed with or without concomitant leukocytosis.

If differentiation syndrome is suspected, temporarily withhold REZLIDHIA and initiate systemic corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg IV every 12 hours) for a minimum of 3 days and until resolution of signs and symptoms. If concomitant leukocytosis is observed, initiate treatment with hydroxyurea, as clinically indicated. Taper corticosteroids and hydroxyurea after resolution of symptoms. Differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroids and/or hydroxyurea treatment. Institute supportive measures and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement; withhold dose of REZLIDHIA and consider dose reduction based on recurrence [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.2 Hepatotoxicity

REZLIDHIA can cause hepatotoxicity, presenting as increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), increased blood alkaline phosphatase, and/or elevated bilirubin. Of 153 patients with relapsed or refractory AML who received REZLIDHIA, hepatotoxicity occurred in 23% of patients; 13% experienced grade 3 or 4 hepatotoxicity [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. One patient treated with REZLIDHIA in combination with azacitidine in the clinical trial, a combination for which REZLIDHIA is not indicated, died from complications of drug-induced liver injury. The median time to onset of hepatotoxicity in patients with relapsed or refractory AML treated with REZLIDHIA was 1.2 months (range: 1 day to 17.5 months) after REZLIDHIA initiation, and the median time to resolution was 12 days (range: 1 day to 17 months). The most common hepatotoxicities were elevations of ALT, AST, blood alkaline phosphatase, and blood bilirubin.

Monitor patients frequently for clinical symptoms of hepatic dysfunction such as fatigue, anorexia, right upper abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice. Obtain baseline liver function tests prior to initiation of REZLIDHIA, at least once weekly for the first two months, once every other week for the third month, once in the fourth month, and once every other month for the duration of therapy. If hepatic dysfunction occurs, withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue REZLIDHIA based on recurrence/severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Relapsed or Refractory AML

The safety of REZLIDHIA 150 mg administered twice daily was evaluated in 153 adults with relapsed or refractory AML with an IDH1 mutation [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Among the 153 patients who received REZLIDHIA, 35% were exposed for at least 6 months and 21% were exposed for at least 1 year. The median duration of exposure to REZLIDHIA was 4.7 months (range: 0.1 to 34 months).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 25% of patients who received REZLIDHIA. Serious adverse reactions in ≥5% included differentiation syndrome (9%) and transaminitis (6%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1% of patients who received REZLIDHIA, due to differentiation syndrome.

Permanent discontinuation of REZLIDHIA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 8% of patients. Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation in ≥1% of patients included transaminitis, differentiation syndrome, and gallbladder disorders.

Dosage interruptions of REZLIDHIA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 32% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >5% of patients included transaminitis and differentiation syndrome.

Dose reductions of REZLIDHIA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 11% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in ≥2% of patients included transaminitis.

The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were aspartate aminotransferase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, potassium decreased, sodium decreased, alkaline phosphatase increased, nausea, creatinine increased, fatigue/malaise, arthralgia, constipation, lymphocytes increased, bilirubin increased, leukocytosis, uric acid increased, dyspnea, pyrexia, rash, lipase increased, mucositis, diarrhea and transaminitis.

Table 2 summarizes the adverse reactions in the clinical trial for relapsed or refractory AML.

Clinically relevant adverse reactions in <10% of patients who received REZLIDHIA include:

• Gallbladder disorders: biliary tract disorder, biliary colic, cholangitis, and cholestasis
• Electrocardiogram QT prolonged

Table 3 summarizes the laboratory abnormalities in the clinical trial for relapsed or refractory AML.

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on Olutasidenib

Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers
Avoid concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers.

Olutasidenib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases olutasidenib Cmax and AUC, which may reduce REZLIDHIA efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with a moderate CYP3A inducer may also decrease olutasidenib Cmax and AUC, which may also reduce REZLIDHIA efficacy, based on observations from concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer.

7.2 Effect of Olutasidenib on Other Drugs

Sensitive CYP3A Substrates

Avoid concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with sensitive CYP3A substrates unless otherwise instructed in the substrates prescribing information. If concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor patients for loss of therapeutic effect of these drugs.

Olutasidenib induces CYP3A. Concomitant use of REZLIDHIA may decrease plasma concentrations of sensitive CYP3A substrates, which may reduce the substrate’s efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Based on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, REZLIDHIA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on REZLIDHIA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk.

In embryo-fetal development studies, oral olutasidenib resulted in embryo-fetal death and altered fetal growth when administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at exposures up to 10 times and 0.7 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended daily 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%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.

Data

Animal Data

Olutasidenib was administered twice daily via oral gavage at dose levels of 25, 125, or 250 mg/kg/dose (50, 250, or 500 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during organogenesis (gestation days 6-17). An increase in fetal supernumerary rib was observed at the high dose (10 times the AUC at the clinical dose of 150 mg BID). In a pilot study, administration of olutasidenib orally to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in an increase in post-implantation loss at doses of 250 and 450 mg/kg/day (9 and 10 times the AUC at the clinical dose of 150 mg BID).

Olutasidenib was administered twice daily via oral gavage at dose levels of 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg/dose (20, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis (gestation days 7- 20). Maternal toxicity noted as reduced body weight gain occurred at 80 mg/kg/day. An increase in fetal supernumerary rib and increased post-implantation loss occurred at the high dose of 80 mg/kg/day (0.7 times the AUC at the clinical dose of 150 mg BID).

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of olutasidenib or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or milk production. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, and due to the potential for adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with REZLIDHIA and for 2 weeks after the last dose.

8.4 Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of REZLIDHIA have not been established in pediatric patients.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Among the 153 patients with relapsed or refractory AML with an IDH1 mutation treated with REZLIDHIA, 116 (76%) were 65 years of age or older and 48 (31%) were 75 years or older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients 65 years and older and younger patients. Compared to patients younger than 65 years of age, an increase in incidence of hepatotoxicity and hypertension was observed in patients ≥65 years of age.

8.6 Renal Impairment

No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 to <90 mL/min, as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault). The recommended dosage of REZLIDHIA has not been established in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), kidney failure (CLcr <15 mL/min, as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), and patients on dialysis [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

8.7 Hepatic Impairment

No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild (total bilirubin ≤ULN and any AST >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. In patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, closely monitor for increased probability of differentiation syndrome [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. The recommended dosage of REZLIDHIA has not been established in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN with any AST) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Olutasidenib is a small-molecule inhibitor of mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1). In patients with AML, susceptible IDH1 mutations are defined as those leading to increased levels of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) in the leukemia cells and where efficacy is predicted by 1) clinically meaningful remissions with the recommended dose of olutasidenib and/or 2) inhibition of mutant IDH1 enzymatic activity at concentrations of olutasidenib sustainable at the recommended dosage according to validated methods. The most common of such mutations in patients with AML are R132H and R132C substitutions.

In vitro, olutasidenib inhibited mutated IDH1 R132H, R132L, R132S, R132G, and R132C proteins; wild-type IDH1 or mutated IDH2 proteins were not inhibited. Olutasidenib inhibition of mutant IDH1 led to decreased 2-HG levels in vitro and in in vivo xenograft models.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

The mean [% coefficient of variation (%CV)] reduction in 2-HG plasma concentration was 59.1% (122%) by pre-dose Cycle 2 and was sustained throughout the treatment period in patients with AML and IDH1 mutations following the approved recommended olutasidenib dosage.

Increased olutasidenib exposure was correlated with the increased probability of differentiation syndrome and Grade ≥3 hepatotoxicity in patients with AML following the approved recommended olutasidenib dosage.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

The largest mean increase in QTc interval was 6.2 msec (upper 90% confidence interval = 9.7 msec) in 33 patients with advanced hematologic malignancies with an IDH1 mutation following a single dose and multiple doses of the approved recommended olutasidenib dosage under fasted conditions. This increase in the QTc interval was concentration dependent.

Increased QT prolongation is expected with increased exposures of olutasidenib under a fed condition compared to that under fasting conditions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. The clinical impact of this increase could not be determined because QTc intervals were not evaluated at higher olutasidenib exposures.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics of olutasidenib have been characterized in patients with AML following the approved recommended dosage, unless otherwise specified.

The mean (%CV) olutasidenib steady-state daily area under the plasma drug concentration over time curve (AUC0-12-h,ss) is 43050 (34.0%) ng·h/mL and steady-state maximum plasma concentration (Cmax,ss) is 3573 (45.6%) ng/mL following the approved recommended dosage.

Olutasidenib Cmax and AUC increase less-than proportionally over a dosage range from 100 mg to 300 mg (0.33 to 1 time the recommended total daily dose); however, this finding should not affect the recommended dosage of REZLIDHIA. Olutasidenib accumulation ratios ranging from 7.7 and 9.5 were observed following the approved recommended dosage. Steady-state plasma levels are reached within 14 days.

Absorption

The median (min, max) time to maximum concentration (tmax) of olutasidenib is approximately 4 (1, 8) hours following a single oral dose of 150 mg.

Effect of Food

The mean (CV%) of olutasidenib Cmax increased by 191% (20.6%) and AUCinf increased by 83% (18.3%) following administration of a single 150 mg dose of olutasidenib with a high-fat meal (approximately 800 to 1,000 calories, with approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal from fat) in healthy subjects.

Distribution

The mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution of olutasidenib is 319 (28.1%) L. The plasma protein binding of olutasidenib is approximately 93%.

Elimination

The mean (CV%) half-life (t1⁄2) of olutasidenib is approximately 67 (51.2%) hours and the mean (CV%) apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of olutasidenib is 4 (60.5%) L/h.

Metabolism

Olutasidenib metabolism involves N-dealkylation, demethylation, oxidative deamination followed by oxidation, mono-oxidation with subsequent glucuronidation. Olutasidenib is primarily (90%) metabolized by cytochrome P450(CYP)3A4, with minor contributions from CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP1A2, and CYP2C19.

Excretion

Following a single oral radiolabeled olutasidenib dose of 150 mg to healthy subjects, approximately 75% of olutasidenib was recovered in feces (35% unchanged) and 17% in the urine (1% unchanged).

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of olutasidenib were observed based on age (28 to 90 years), sex, body weight (36 to 145 kg), mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 to <90mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), or mild (total bilirubin ≤ULN and any AST >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment.

The effect of severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min, as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), kidney failure (CLcr <15 mL/min, as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), patients on dialysis, and patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 x ULN with any AST) on olutasidenib pharmacokinetics is unknown or not fully characterized.

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with olutasidenib. Olutasidenib was not genotoxic in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames), in vitro human lymphocyte micronucleus, and in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assays. Fertility studies in animals have not been conducted with olutasidenib.

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology

Olutasidenib was phototoxic in vitro and in vivo. In pigmented rats, oral administration of olutasidenib for 3 consecutive days followed by exposure to UV light 2 hours after the last dose resulted in skin erythema which persisted for 72 hours.

14.1 Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The efficacy of REZLIDHIA was evaluated in an open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial (Study 2102-HEM-101, NCT02719574) in 147 adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML with an IDH1 mutation.

IDH1 mutations in blood or bone marrow were confirmed retrospectively using the Abbott RealTime™ IDH1 Assay. REZLIDHIA was given orally at a dose of 150 mg twice daily until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Sixteen of the 147 patients (11%) underwent stem cell transplantation following REZLIDHIA treatment.

The baseline demographic and disease characteristics are shown in Table 4.

Efficacy was established on the basis of the rate of complete remission (CR) plus complete remission with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), the duration of CR+CRh, and the rate of conversion from transfusion dependence to transfusion independence. The efficacy results are shown in Table 5. The median follow-up was 10.2 months (range: 0.2 to 38.1 months) and median treatment duration was 4.7 months (range: 0.1 to 26.0 months).

Of the patients who achieved a CR or CRh, the median time to CR or CRh was 1.9 months (range: 0.9 to 5.6 months). All patients that achieved a best response of CR or CRh did so within 5.6 months of initiating REZLIDHIA.

Overall, among the 86 patients who were dependent on red blood cell (RBC) and/or platelet transfusions at baseline, 29 (34%) became independent of RBC and platelet transfusions during any 56-day post-baseline period. Of the 61 patients who were independent of both RBC and platelet transfusions at baseline, 39 (64%) remained transfusion independent during any 56-day post- baseline period.
