03/20/2017 Diseases Dosage and WARNING: HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS, and LACTIC ACIDOSIS, AND SEVERE HEPATOMEGALY
Administration, Hypersensitivity Reactions
Contraindications, Serious and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity reactions, with multiple organ involvement, have occurred with ZIAGEN® (abacavir).
Warnings and Patients who carry the HLA-B*5701 allele are at a higher risk of a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir; although, hypersensitivity reactions have occurred in
Precautions patients who do not carry the HLA-B*5701 allele [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
ZIAGEN is contraindicated in patients with a prior hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir and in HLA-B*5701-positive patients [see Contraindications (4), Warnings
and Precautions (5.1)]. All patients should be screened for the HLA-B*5701 allele prior to initiating therapy with ZIAGEN or reinitiation of therapy with ZIAGEN,
unless patients have a previously documented HLA-B*5701 allele assessment. Discontinue ZIAGEN immediately if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected,
regardless of HLA-B*5701 status and even when other diagnoses are possible [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Following a hypersensitivity reaction to ZIAGEN, NEVER restart ZIAGEN or any other abacavir-containing product because more severe symptoms, including
death can occur within hours. Similar severe reactions have also occurred rarely following the reintroduction of abacavir-containing products in patients who
have no history of abacavir hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. (…)
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
ZIAGEN is contraindicated in patients:
• who have the HLA-B*5701 allele [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

The safety of adagrasib was evaluated in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in KRYSTAL-1 [see Clinical Studies (14)].
Patients received adagrasib 600 mg orally twice daily (n = 116). Among patients who received adagrasib, 45% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 4%
were exposed for greater than one year. (see Tables 3 and 4)
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of adagrasib were studied in healthy subjects and in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC and are presented as mean (percent
coefficient of variation) unless otherwise specified.
Adagrasib AUC and Cmax increase dose proportionally over the dose range of 400 mg to 600 mg (0.67 to 1 times the approved recommended dose). Adagrasib
steady-state was reached within 8 days following administration of the approved recommended dosage and accumulation was approximately 6-fold.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of adagrasib was evaluated in KRYSTAL-1 (NCT03785249), a multicenter, singlearm, open-label expansion cohort study. Eligible patients were
required to have locally advanced or metastatic KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who previously received treatment with a platinumbased regimen and an immune
checkpoint inhibitor, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 1, and at least one measurable lesion as defined by
Response Evaluation criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). Identification of a KRAS G12C mutation was prospectively determined by local testing using tissue
specimens. Patients received adagrasib 600 mg orally twice daily until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Tumor assessments were performed every
6 weeks. The major efficacy outcome measures were confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) as evaluated by blinded
independent central review (BICR) according to RECIST v1.1.
In the efficacy population, KRAS G12C mutation status was determined by prospective local testing using tumor tissue specimens. Of the 112 patients with
KRAS G12C mutation, tissue samples from 88% (98/112) patients were tested retrospectively using the QIAGEN therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit. While 89%
(87/98) of patients were positive for KRAS G12C mutation, 11% (11/98) did not have a KRAS G12C mutation identified. In addition, plasma samples from
63% (71/112) patients were tested retrospectively using Agilent Resolution ctDx FIRST assay. While 66% (47/71) of patients were positive for KRAS G12C
mutation, 34% (24/71) did not have a KRAS G12C mutation identified. (…)

14.2 Early Breast Cancer
KATHERINE (NCT01772472) was a randomized, multicenter, open-label trial of 1486 patients with HER2-positive, early breast cancer. Patients were required to
have had neoadjuvant taxane and trastuzumab-based therapy with residual invasive tumor in the breast and/or axillary lymph nodes. Patients received
radiotherapy and/or hormonal therapy concurrent with study treatment as per local guidelines. Breast tumor samples were required to show HER2
overexpression defined as 3+ IHC or ISH amplification ratio ≥ 2.0 determined at a central laboratory using Ventana’s PATHWAY anti-HER2-/neu (4B5) Rabbit
Monoclonal Primary Antibody or INFORM HER2 Dual ISH DNA Probe Cocktail assays. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive KADCYLA or trastuzumab.
Randomization was stratified by clinical stage at presentation, hormone receptor status, preoperative HER2-directed therapy (trastuzumab, trastuzumab plus
additional HER2-directed agent[s]), and pathological nodal status evaluation after preoperative therapy.
KADCYLA was given intravenously at 3.6 mg/kg on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Trastuzumab was given intravenously at 6 mg/kg on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle.
Patients were treated with KADCYLA or trastuzumab for a total of 14 cycles unless there was recurrence of disease, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable
toxicity. At the time of the major efficacy outcome analysis, median treatment duration was 10 months for both KADCYLA- and trastuzumab-treated patients.
Patients who discontinued KADCYLA for reasons other than disease recurrence could complete the remainder of the planned HER2-directed therapy with
trastuzumab if appropriate based on toxicity considerations and investigator discretion.
(…) The majority of patients (77%) had received an anthracycline-containing neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen. Twenty percent of patients received another
HER2-targeted agent in addition to trastuzumab as a component of neoadjuvant therapy; 94% of these patients received pertuzumab. (…)

The efficacy and safety of GILOTRIF in the first-line treatment of 345 patients with EGFR mutation-positive, metastatic [Stage IV and Stage IIIb with pleural
and/or pericardial effusion as classified by the American Joint Commission on Cancer (AJCC, 6th edition)] non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were established
in a randomized, multicenter, open-label trial (LUX-Lung 3 [NCT00949650]). Patients were randomized (2:1) to receive GILOTRIF 40 mg orally once daily
(n=230) or up to 6 cycles of pemetrexed/cisplatin (n=115). Randomization was stratified according to EGFR mutation status (exon 19 deletion vs exon 21 L858R
vs other) and race (Asian vs non-Asian). The major efficacy outcome was progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by an independent review committee
(IRC). Other efficacy outcomes included overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS). EGFR mutation status was prospectively determined for
screening and enrollment of patients by a clinical trial assay (CTA). Tumor samples from 264 patients (178 randomized to GILOTRIF and 86 patients
randomized to chemotherapy) were tested retrospectively by the companion diagnostic therascreen® EGFR RGQ PCR Kit, which is FDA-approved for selection
of patients for GILOTRIF treatment.
Among the patients randomized, 65% were female, median age was 61 years, baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (39%) or 1 (61%), 26% were
Caucasian and 72% were Asian. The majority of the patients had a tumor sample with an EGFR mutation categorized by the CTA as either exon 19 deletion
(49%) or exon 21 L858R substitution (40%), while the remaining 11% had other mutations.
Pre-specified exploratory subgroup analyses were conducted according to the stratification factor of EGFR mutation category. See Figure 2 and text below

Overall Response Rate In Other EGFR Mutations
The efficacy of GILOTRIF in patients with NSCLC harboring non-resistant EGFR mutations (S768I, L861Q, and G719X) other than exon 19 deletions or exon 21
L858R substitutions was evaluated in a pooled analysis of such patients enrolled in one of three clinical trials (LUX-Lung 2 [NCT00525148], LUX-Lung 3
[NCT00949650], and LUX-Lung 6 [NCT01121393]). • LUX-Lung 2 was a single arm, multicenter study of afatinib 40 or 50 mg orally once daily until disease
progression or intolerable side effects. EGFR status was determined by bi-directional Sanger sequencing of tumor tissue.
• LUX-Lung 3 was a randomized, multicenter study comparing treatment with afatinib 40 mg orally once daily to intravenous cisplatin 75 mg/m2 plus pemetrexed
500 mg/m2 every 21 days for up to 6 cycles. EGFR status was determined by the therascreen® EGFR RGQ PCR Kit.
• LUX-Lung 6 was a randomized, multicenter study comparing treatment with afatinib 40 mg to intravenous gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on day 1 and day 8 plus
cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on day 1 of a 3-week schedule for up to 6 cycles. EGFR status was determined by the therascreen® EGFR RGQ PCR Kit.
Among the 75 GILOTRIF treated patients with uncommon EGFR mutations, 32 patients had a non-resistant EGFR mutation. Among the 32 patients with a
confirmed non-resistant EGFR mutation, the median age was 60.5 years (range 32-79), 66% were female, 97% were Asian, 3% were other races, 38% had an
ECOG PS of 0, 63% had an ECOG PS 1, 66% were never smokers, 28% were former smokers, and 6% were current smokers. Baseline disease characteristics
were 97% Stage IV disease, 3% Stage IIIb disease, and 88% had received no prior systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic disease.

125291, Alglucosidase Inborn Errors of GAA Warnings and 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
02/18/2020 Alfa Metabolism Precautions 5.2 Immune-Mediated Reactions
Immune-mediated cutaneous reactions have been reported with alglucosidase alfa including necrotizing skin lesions [see Adverse Reactions (6.3)]. Systemic
immune-mediated reactions, including possible type III immune-mediated reactions have been observed with alglucosidase alfa. These reactions occurred
several weeks to 3 years after initiation of alglucosidase alfa infusions. Skin biopsy in one patient demonstrated deposition of anti-rhGAA antibodies in the lesion.
Another patient developed severe inflammatory arthropathy in association with pyrexia and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Nephrotic syndrome
secondary to membranous glomerulonephritis was observed in some Pompe disease patients treated with alglucosidase alfa who had persistently positive anti-
rhGAA IgG antibody titers. In these patients, renal biopsy was consistent with immune complex deposition. Patients improved following treatment interruption.
Therefore, patients receiving alglucosidase alfa should undergo periodic urinalysis [see Adverse Reactions (6.3)]. (…)
5.5 Risk of Antibody Development
Patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease should have a cross-reactive immunologic material (CRIM) assessment early in their disease course and be
managed by a clinical specialist knowledgeable in immune tolerance induction in Pompe disease to optimize treatment. Immune tolerance induction
administered prior to and in conjunction with initiation of alglucosidase alfa has been reported to aide tolerability of alglucosidase alfa in CRIM-negative patients.
CRIM status has been shown to be associated with immunogenicity and patients’ responses to enzyme replacement therapies. CRIM-negative infants with
infantile-onset Pompe disease treated with alglucosidase alfa have shown poorer clinical response in the presence of high sustained IgG antibody titers and
positive inhibitory antibodies compared to CRIM-positive infants [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. In clinical studies, the majority of patients developed IgG
antibodies to alglucosidase alfa, typically within 3 months of treatment. There is evidence to suggest that some patients who develop high and sustained IgG
antibody titers, including CRIM-negative patients (i.e., patients in whom no endogenous GAA protein was detected by Western blot analysis and/or predicted
based on the genotype), may experience reduced clinical alglucosidase alfa treatment efficacy, such as loss of motor function, ventilator dependence, or death.

PIK3CA mutation.
Efficacy results for the cohort with a PIK3CA mutation in tumor tissue are presented in Table 8 and Figure 1. PFS results for the cohort with a PIK3CA mutation
by investigator assessment were supported by consistent results from a blinded independent review committee (BIRC) assessment. Consistent results were
seen in patients with tissue or plasma PIK3CA mutations. At the time of final PFS analysis, 27% (92/341) of patients had died, and overall survival follow-up was

12.2 Pharmacodynamics
The effect of FIRDAPSE on QTc interval prolongation was studied in a double blind, randomized, placebo and positive controlle d study in 52 healthy individuals
who are slow acetylators. At an exposure 2-fold the expected maximum therapeutic exposure of amifampridine, FIRDAPSE did not prolong QTc to any clinically
relevant extent.
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
Genetic variants in the N-acetyltransferase gene 2 (NAT2) affect the rate and extent of FIRDAPSE metabolism. Poor metabolizers, also referred to as “slow
acetylators” (i.e., carriers of two reduced function alleles), have 3.5- to 4.5-fold higher Cmax, and 5.6- to 9 fold higher AUC than normal metabolizers, also
referred to as “fast/rapid acetylators” (i.e., carriers of two normal function alleles). Therefore, FIRDAPSE should be initiated at the lowest recommended starting
dosage (15 mg/day) in known NAT2 poor metabolizers, and such patients should be closely monitored for adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration
(2.4) and Use in Specific Populations (8.8)].
In the general population, the NAT2 poor metabolizer phenotype prevalence is 40–60% in the White and African American populations, and in 10–30% in Asian
ethnic populations (individuals of Japanese, Chinese, or Korean descent).

Ototoxicity with use of ARIKAYCE
Ototoxicity has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Ototoxicity (including deafness, dizziness, presyncope, tinnitus, and vertigo) were
reported with a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus a background regimen (17%) compared to patients treated with background regimen
alone (9.8%). This was primarily driven by tinnitus (8.1% in ARIKAYCE plus background regimen vs. 0.9% in the background regimen alone arm) and dizziness
(6.3% in ARIKAYCE plus background regimen vs. 2.7% in the background regimen alone arm) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Closely monitor patients with known or suspected auditory or vestibular dysfunction during treatment with ARIKAYCE. If ototoxicity occurs, manage the patient
as medically appropriate, including potentially discontinuing ARIKAYCE.
Risk of Ototoxicity Due to Mitochondrial DNA Variants
Cases of ototoxicity with aminoglycosides have been observed in patients with certain variants in the mitochondrially encoded 12S rRNA gene (MT-RNR1),
particularly the m.1555A>G variant. Ototoxicity occurred in some patients even when their aminoglycoside serum levels were within the recommended range.
Mitochondrial DNA variants are present in less than 1% of the general US population, and the proportion of the variant carriers who may develop ototoxicity as
well as the severity of ototoxicity is unknown. In case of known maternal history of ototoxicity due to aminoglycoside use or a known mitochondrial DNA variant
in the patient, consider alternative treatments other than aminoglycosides unless the increased risk of permanent hearing loss is outweighed by the severity of
infection and lack of safe and effective alternative therapies.

Elimination
Metabolism and Excretion
Amphetamine is reported to be oxidized at the 4 position of the benzene ring to form 4 hydroxyamphetamine, or on the side chain α or β carbons to form alpha-
hydroxy-amphetamine or norephedrine, respectively. Norephedrine and 4-hydroxy-amphetamine are both active and each is subsequently oxidized to form 4-
hydroxy-norephedrine. Alpha-hydroxy-amphetamine undergoes deamination to form phenylacetone, which ultimately forms benzoic acid and its glucuronide and
the glycine conjugate hippuric acid. Although the enzymes involved in amphetamine metabolism have not been clearly defined, CYP2D6 is known to be involved
with formation of 4-hydroxy-amphetamine. Since CYP2D6 is genetically polymorphic, population variations in amphetamine metabolism are a possibility.

The safety of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in IMpower110, a multicenter, international, randomized, open-label study in 549 chemotherapy-naïve patients with
stage IV NSCLC, including those with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. Patients received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg every 3 weeks (n=286) or platinum-
based chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin or cisplatin with either pemetrexed or gemcitabine (n=263) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see
Clinical Studies (14.2)]. IMpower110 enrolled patients whose tumors express PD-L1 (PD-L1 stained ≥ 1% of tumor cells [TC] or PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating
immune cells [IC] covering ≥ 1% of the tumor area). The median duration of exposure to TECENTRIQ was 5.3 months (0 to 33 months). (…)

6.2 Immunogenicity
(…) Among 487 ADA-evaluable patients with NSCLC who received atezolizumab in IMpower010, 31% (n=152) tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA at
one or more post-dose time points. Among 241 patients in the PD-L1 SP263 ≥1% TC Stage II-IIIA population, 28% (n=67) tested positive for treatment-emergent
ADA at one or more post-dose time points. Patients who tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA had lower systemic atezolizumab exposure as compared to
patients who were ADA-negative [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. There were insufficient numbers of patients and DFS events in the ADA-positive subgroup
(19%; 39/207 by week 7) to determine whether ADA alters the efficacy of atezolizumab. The presence of ADA did not have a clinically significant effect on the
incidence or severity of adverse reactions.

Cisplatin-Ineligible Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
(…) Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory, and the results were used to define
subgroups for pre-specified analyses. Of the 119 patients, 27% were classified as having PD-L1 expression of ≥ 5% (defined as PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating
immune cells [IC] covering ≥ 5% of the tumor area). The remaining 73% of patients were classified as having PD-L1 expression of < 5% (PD-L1 stained tumor
infiltrating IC covering < 5% of the tumor area).
Among the 32 patients with PD-L1 expression of ≥ 5%, median age was 67 years, 81% were male, 19% female, and 88% were White. Twenty-eight percent of
patients had non-bladder urothelial carcinoma and 56% had visceral metastases. Seventy-two percent of patients had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1. Reasons for
ineligibility for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy were: 66% had impaired renal function, 28% had an ECOG PS of 2, 16% had a hearing loss ≥ 25 dB, and 9%

Populations, 5.12 Laboratory Tests
Clinical Routine laboratory tests are not required. CYP2D6 metabolism- Poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2D6 have a 10-fold higher AUC and a 5-fold higher peak
Pharmacology concentration to a given dose of STRATTERA compared with extensive metabolizers (EMs). Approximately 7% of a Caucasian population are PMs. Laboratory
tests are available to identify CYP2D6 PMs. The blood levels in PMs are similar to those attained by taking strong inhibitors of CYP2D6. The higher blood levels
in PMs lead to a higher rate of some adverse effects of STRATTERA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
5.13 Concomitant Use of Potent CYP2D6 Inhibitors or Use in patients who are known to be CYP2D6 PMs
Atomoxetine is primarily metabolized by the CYP2D6 pathway to 4 hydroxyatomoxetine. Dosage adjustment of STRATTERA may be necessary when
coadministered with potent CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., paroxetine, fluoxetine, and quinidine) or when administered to CYP2D6 PMs. [See Dosage and

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.2 Effect of CYP2D6 Inhibitors on Atomoxetine
In extensive metabolizers (EMs), inhibitors of CYP2D6 (e.g., paroxetine, fluoxetine, and quinidine) increase atomoxetine steady-state plasma concentrations to
exposures similar to those observed in poor metabolizers (PMs). In EM individuals treated with paroxetine or fluoxetine, the AUC of atomoxetine is
approximately 6- to 8-fold and Css, max is about 3- to 4-fold greater than atomoxetine alone.
In vitro studies suggest that coadministration of cytochrome P450 inhibitors to PMs will not increase the plasma concentrations of atomoxetine.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Cardiac Electrophysiology
The effect of STRATTERA on QTc prolongation was evaluated in a randomized, double-blinded, positive-(moxifloxacin 400 mg) and placebo-controlled, cross-
over study in healthy male CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. A total of 120 healthy subjects were administered STRATTERA (20 mg and 60 mg) twice daily for 7
days. No large changes in QTc interval (i.e., increases >60 msec from baseline, absolute QTc >480 msec) were observed in the study. However, small changes
in QTc interval cannot be excluded from the current study, because the study failed to demonstrate assay sensitivity. There was a slight increase in QTc interval
with increased atomoxetine concentration.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Atomoxetine is well-absorbed after oral administration and is minimally affected by food. It is eliminated primarily by oxidative metabolism through the
cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzymatic pathway and subsequent glucuronidation. Atomoxetine has a half-life of about 5 hours. A fraction of the population
(about 7% of Caucasians and 2% of African Americans) are poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2D6 metabolized drugs. These individuals have reduced activity in
this pathway resulting in 10-fold higher AUCs, 5-fold higher peak plasma concentrations, and slower elimination (plasma half-life of about 24 hours) of
atomoxetine compared with people with normal activity [extensive metabolizers (EMs)]. (…)
Absorption and distribution
Atomoxetine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with absolute bioavailability of about 63% in EMs and 94% in PMs. Maximal plasma concentrations
(Cmax) are reached approximately 1 to 2 hours after dosing. (…)
Metabolism and elimination
Atomoxetine is metabolized primarily through the CYP2D6 enzymatic pathway. People with reduced activity in this pathway (PMs) have higher plasma
concentrations of atomoxetine compared with people with normal activity (EMs). For PMs, AUC of atomoxetine is approximately 10-fold and Css, max is about
5-fold greater than EMs. Laboratory tests are available to identify CYP2D6 PMs. Coadministration of STRATTERA with potent inhibitors of CYP2D6, such as
fluoxetine, paroxetine, or quinidine, results in a substantial increase in atomoxetine plasma exposure, and dosing adjustment may be necessary [see Warnings
and Precautions (5.13)]. Atomoxetine did not inhibit or induce the CYP2D6 pathway.
The major oxidative metabolite formed, regardless of CYP2D6 status, is 4-hydroxyatomoxetine, which is glucuronidated.
4-Hydroxyatomoxetine is equipotent to atomoxetine as an inhibitor of the norepinephrine transporter but circulates in plasma at much lower concentrations (1%
of atomoxetine concentration in EMs and 0.1% of atomoxetine concentration in PMs). 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine is primarily formed by CYP2D6, but in PMs, 4-
hydroxyatomoxetine is formed at a slower rate by several other cytochrome P450 enzymes. N-Desmethylatomoxetine is formed by CYP2C19 and other
cytochrome P450 enzymes, but has substantially less pharmacological activity compared with atomoxetine and circulates in plasma at lower concentrations (5%
of atomoxetine concentration in EMs and 45% of atomoxetine concentration in PMs).
Mean apparent plasma clearance of atomoxetine after oral administration in adult EMs is 0.35 L/hr/kg and the mean half-life is 5.2 hours. Following oral
administration of atomoxetine to PMs, mean apparent plasma clearance is 0.03 L/hr/kg and mean half-life is 21.6 hours. For PMs, AUC of atomoxetine is
approximately 10-fold and Css, max is about 5-fold greater than EMs. The elimination half-life of 4-hydroxyatomoxetine is similar to that of
N- desmethylatomoxetine (6 to 8 hours) in EM subjects, while the half-life of N-desmethylatomoxetine is much longer in PM subjects (34 to 40 hours). (…)

06/30/2019 (Prothrombin) Precautions 5.1 Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Complications
DOPTELET is a thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist and TPO receptor agonists have been associated with thrombotic and thromboembolic complications in
patients with chronic liver disease. Portal vein thrombosis has been reported in patients with chronic liver disease treated with TPO receptor agonists. In the
ADAPT-1 and ADAPT-2 clinical trials, there was 1 treatment-emergent event of portal vein thrombosis in a patient (n=1/430) with chronic liver disease and
PRECAUTIONS
TPMT and NUDT15 Testing: Consider genotyping or phenotyping patients for TPMT deficiency and genotyping for NUDT1 deficiency in patients with severe
myelosuppression. TPMT and NUDT15 testing cannot substitute for complete blood count (CBC) monitoring in patients receiving IMURAN. Accurate
phenotyping (red blood cell TPMT activity) results are not possible in patients who have received recent blood transfusions (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY,
WARNINGS: Cytopenias, ADVERSE REACTIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION sections). Drug Interactions
Use with Allopurinol: One of the pathways for inactivation of azathioprine is inhibited by allopurinol. Patients receiving IMURAN and allopurinol concomitantly
should have a dose reduction of IMURAN, to approximately 1/3 to 1/4 the usual dose. It is recommended that a further dose reduction or alternative therapies be
considered for patients with low or absent TPMT activity receiving IMURAN and allopurinol because both TPMT and XO inactivation pathways are affected. See
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS: Laboratory Tests and ADVERSE REACTIONS sections.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Hematologic
(…) Patients with low or absent TPMT or NUDT15 activity are at increased risk for severe, life-threatening myelosuppression from IMURAN (see CLINICAL
PHARMACOLOGY, WARNINGS: Cytopenias and PRECAUTIONS: Laboratory Tests, DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
(…) 6-MP undergoes two major inactivation routes. One is thiol methylation, which is catalyzed by the enzyme thiopurine Smethyltransferase (TPMT), to form
the inactive metabolite methyl-6-MP (6-MeMP). Another inactivation pathway is oxidation, which is catalyzed by xanthine oxidase (XO) to form 6-thiouric acid.
The nucleotide diphosphatase (NUDT15) enzyme is involved in conversion of the 6-TGNs to inactive 6-TG monophosphates. TPMT activity correlates inversely
with 6-TGN levels in erythrocytes and presumably other hematopoietic tissues, since these cells have negligible xanthine oxidase (involved in the other
inactivation pathway) activities.
Genetic polymorphisms influence TPMT and NUDT15 activity. Several published studies indicate that patients with reduced TPMT or NUDT15 activity receiving
usual doses of 6-MP or azathioprine, accumulate excessive cellular concentrations of active 6-TGNs, and are at higher risk for severe myelosuppression.
Because of the risk of toxicity, patients with TPMT or NUDT15 deficiency require alternative therapy or dose modification (see DOSAGE and
ADMINISTRATION).
Approximately 0.3% (1:300) of patients of European or African ancestry have two loss-of-function alleles of the TPMT gene and have little or no TPMT activity
(homozygous deficient or poor metabolizers), and approximately 10% of patients have one loss-of-function TPMT allele leading to intermediate TPMT activity
(heterozygous deficient or intermediate metabolizers). The TPMT*2, TPMT*3A, and TPMT*3C alleles account for about 95% of individuals with reduced levels of
TPMT activity. NUDT15 deficiency is detected in <1% of patients of European or African ancestry. Among patients of East Asian ancestry (i.e., Chinese,
Japanese, Vietnamese), 2% have two loss-of-function alleles of the NUDT15 gene, and approximately 21% have one loss-of-function allele. The p.R139C
variant of NUDT15 (present on the *2 and *3 alleles) is the most commonly observed, but other less common loss-of-function NUDT15 alleles have been
observed. (…)

Heterozygous deficiency in TPMT and/or NUDT15
Because of the risk of increased toxicity, dosage reduction is recommended in patients known to have heterozygous deficiency of TPMT or NUDT15. Patients
who are heterozygous for both TPMT and NUDT15 deficiency may require more substantial dosage reductions (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY,

12.5 Pharmacogenomics
UGT1A1 activity is reduced in individuals with genetic polymorphisms that lead to reduced enzyme activity such as the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism.
Approximately 20% of the black population, 10% of the white population, and 2% of the Asian population are homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele. Additional
reduced function alleles may be more prevalent in specific populations.
Because belinostat is primarily (80-90%) metabolized by UGT1A1, the clearance of belinostat could be decreased in patients with reduced UGT1A1 activity
(e.g., patients with UGT1A1*28 allele). Reduce the starting dose of Beleodaq to 750 mg/m2 in patients known to be homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele to

05/12/2018 Pharmacology 12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism
Brivaracetam is primarily metabolized by hydrolysis of the amide moiety to form the corresponding carboxylic acid metabolite, and secondarily by hydroxylation
on the propyl side chain to form the hydroxy metabolite. The hydrolysis reaction is mediated by hepatic and extra-hepatic amidase. The hydroxylation pathway is
mediated primarily by CYP2C19. In human subjects possessing genetic variations in CYP2C19, production of the hydroxy metabolite is decreased 2-fold or 10-
fold, while the blood level of brivaracetam itself is increased by 22% or 42%, respectively, in individuals with one or both mutated alleles. CYP2C19 poor
metabolizers and patients using inhibitors of CYP2C19 may require dose reduction. An additional hydroxy acid metabolite is created by hydrolysis of the amide
moiety on the hydroxy metabolite or hydroxylation of the propyl side chain on the carboxylic acid metabolite (mainly by CYP2C9). None of the 3 metabolites are
pharmacologically active.

12.5 Pharmacogenomics
The DPYD gene encodes the enzyme DPD, which is responsible for the catabolism of >80% of fluorouracil. Approximately 3-5% of White populations have
partial DPD deficiency and 0.2% of White populations have complete DPD deficiency, which may be due to certain genetic no function or decreased function
variants in DPYD resulting in partial to complete or near complete absence of enzyme activity. DPD deficiency is estimated to be more prevalent in Black or
African American populations compared to White populations. Insufficient information is available to estimate the prevalence of DPD deficiency in other
populations.
Patients who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for no function DPYD variants (i.e., carry two no function DPYD variants) or are compound
heterozygous for a no function DPYD variant plus a decreased function DPYD variant have complete DPD deficiency and are at increased risk for acute early-
onset of toxicity and serious life-threatening, or fatal adverse reactions due to increased systemic exposure to XELODA. Partial DPD deficiency can result from
the presence of either two decreased function DPYD variants or one normal function plus either a decreased function or a no function DPYD variant. Patients
with partial DPD deficiency may also be at an increased risk for toxicity from XELODA.
Four DPYD variants have been associated with impaired DPD activity in White populations, especially when present as homozygous or compound heterozygous
variants: c.1905+1G>A (DPYD *2A), c.1679T>G (DPYD *13), c.2846A>T, and c.1129-5923C>G (Haplotype B3). DPYD*2A and DPYD*13 are no function
variants, and c.2846A>T and c.1129-5923C>G are decreased function variants. The decreased function DPYD variant c.557A>G is observed in individuals of
African ancestry. This is not a complete listing of all DPYD variants that may result in DPD deficiency [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

enrolled 708 adult patients with locally advanced (inoperable) or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative (defined as IHC 0 or 1+, or IHC 2+/ISH-) breast cancer
of which 289 patients had tumors with eligible PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-alterations. Eligible PIK3CA/AKT1 activating mutations or PTEN loss of function alterations
were identified in the majority of FFPE tumor specimens using FoundationOne®CDx next-generation sequencing (n=686). All patients were required to have
progression on an aromatase inhibitor (AI) based treatment in the metastatic setting or recurrence on or within 12 months of completing (neo)adjuvant treatment
with an AI. Patients could have received up to two prior lines of endocrine therapy and up to 1 line of chemotherapy for locally advanced (inoperable) or
metastatic disease. Patients were excluded if they had clinically significant abnormalities of glucose metabolism (defined as patients with diabetes mellitus Type
1, Type 2, requiring insulin treatment, or HbA1c ≥8% (63.9 mmol/mol)).
Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either 400 mg of TRUQAP (n=355) or placebo (n=353), given orally twice daily for 4 days followed by 3 days off
treatment each week of 28-day treatment cycle. Fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscular injection was administered on cycle 1 days 1 and 15, and then at day 1 of
each subsequent 28-day cycle. Patients were treated until disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity. Randomization was stratified by presence of liver
metastases (yes vs. no), prior treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors (yes vs. no) and geographical region (region 1: US, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and
Israel vs region 2: Latin America, Eastern Europe and Russia vs Region 3: Asia).
The major efficacy outcomes were investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) in the overall population, and in the population of patients whose
tumors have PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-alterations evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. Additional efficacy
outcome measures were overall survival (OS), investigator assessed objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR).
A statistically significant difference in PFS was observed in the overall population and the population of patients whose tumors have PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-
alteration. An exploratory analysis of PFS in the 313 (44%) patients whose tumors did not have a PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-alteration showed a HR of 0.79 (95% CI:
0.61, 1.02), indicating that the difference in the overall population was primarily attributed to the results seen in the population of patients whose tumors have
PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-alteration.
Of the 289 patients whose tumors were PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered, the median age was 59 years (range 34 to 90); female (99%); White (52%), Asian (29%),
Black (1%), American Indian/Alaska Native (0.7%), other races (17%) and 9% were Hispanic/Latino. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance
status was 0 (66%) or 1 (34%), and 18% were premenopausal or perimenopausal. Seventy-six percent of patients had an alteration in PIK3CA, 13% had an
alteration in AKT1, and 17% had an alteration in PTEN. All patients received prior endocrine-based therapy (100% AI based treatment and 44% received
tamoxifen). Seventy-one percent of patients were previously treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and 18% received prior chemotherapy for locally advanced
(inoperable) or metastatic disease.
Efficacy results for PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered subgroup are presented in Table 7 and Figure 1. Results from the blinded independent review committee (BICR)
assessment were consistent with the investigator assessed PFS results. Overall survival results were immature at the time of the PFS analysis (30% of the
patients died). (See Table 7 nad Figure 1)

016608, Carbamazepine Neurology HLA-B Boxed Warning, BOXED WARNING
03/20/2018 (1) Warnings, Serious dermatologic reactions and HLA-B*1502 allele
Precautions Serious and sometimes fatal dermatologic reactions, including toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), have been reported
during treatment with Tegretol. These reactions are estimated to occur in 1 to 6 per 10,000 new users in countries with mainly Caucasian populations, but the
risk in some Asian countries is estimated to be about 10 times higher. Studies in patients of Chinese ancestry have found a strong association between the risk
of developing SJS/TEN and the presence of HLA-B*1502, an inherited allelic variant of the HLA-B gene. HLA-B*1502 is found almost exclusively in patients with
ancestry across broad areas of Asia. Patients with ancestry in genetically at-risk populations should be screened for the presence of HLA-B*1502 prior to
initiating treatment with Tegretol. Patients testing positive for the allele should not be treated with Tegretol unless the benefit clearly outweighs the risk (see
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Laboratory Tests). (…)
WARNINGS
Serious Dermatologic Reactions
PRECAUTIONS
Laboratory Tests
For genetically at-risk patients (see WARNINGS), high-resolution ‘HLA-B*1502 typing’ is recommended. The test is positive if either one or two HLA-B*1502
alleles are detected and negative if no HLA B*1502 alleles are detected.
016608, Carbamazepine Neurology HLA-A Warnings WARNINGS
03/20/2018 (2) Hypersensitivity Reactions and HLA-A*3101 Allele
Retrospective case-control studies in patients of European, Korean, and Japanese ancestry have found a moderate association between the risk of developing
hypersensitivity reactions and the presence of HLAA*3101, an inherited allelic variant of the HLA-A gene, in patients using carbamazepine. These
hypersensitivity reactions include SJS/TEN, maculopapular eruptions, and Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (see DRESS/Multiorgan
hypersensitivity below).
HLA-A*3101 is expected to be carried by more than 15% of patients of Japanese, Native American, Southern Indian (for example, Tamil Nadu) and some Arabic
ancestry; up to about 10% in patients of Han Chinese, Korean, European, Latin American, and other Indian ancestry; and up to about 5% in African-Americans
and patients of Thai, Taiwanese, and Chinese (Hong Kong) ancestry.
The risks and benefits of Tegretol therapy should be weighed before considering Tegretol in patients known to be positive for HLA A*3101.
Application of HLA genotyping as a screening tool has important limitations and must never substitute for appropriate clinical vigilance and patient management.
Many HLA-B*1502-positive and HLA-A*3101-positive patients treated with Tegretol will not develop SJS/TEN or other hypersensitivity reactions, and these
reactions can still occur infrequently in HLA-B*1502-negative and HLA-A*3101 negative patients of any ethnicity. The role of other possible factors in the
development of, and morbidity from, SJS/TEN and other hypersensitivity reactions, such as antiepileptic drug (AED) dose, compliance, concomitant medications,
comorbidities, and the level of dermatologic monitoring, have not been studied.

Clinical Patients with reduced CYP2C19 activity have higher exposure to carisoprodol. Therefore, caution should be exercised in administration of SOMA to these
Pharmacology patients [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
12 CLINCIAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism
The major pathway of carisoprodol metabolism is via the liver by cytochrome enzyme CYP2C19 to form meprobamate. This enzyme exhibits genetic
polymorphism (see Patients with Reduced CYP2C19 Activity below).
Patients with Reduced CYP2C19 Activity
SOMA should be used with caution in patients with reduced CYP2C19 activity. Published studies indicate that patients who are poor CYP2C19 metabolizers
have a 4-fold increase in exposure to carisoprodol, and concomitant 50% reduced exposure to meprobamate compared to normal CYP2C19 metabolizers. The
prevalence of poor metabolizers in Caucasians and African Americans is approximately 3-5% and in Asians is approximately 15-20%.
12 CLINCIAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Carvedilol is subject to the effects of genetic polymorphism with poor metabolizers of debrisoquin (a marker for cytochrome P450 2D6) exhibiting 2- to 3-fold
higher plasma concentrations of R(+)-carvedilol compared with extensive metabolizers. In contrast, plasma levels of S(-)-carvedilol are increased only about
20% to 25% in poor metabolizers, indicating this enantiomer is metabolized to a lesser extent by cytochrome P450 2D6 than R(+)-carvedilol. The
pharmacokinetics of carvedilol do not appear to be different in poor metabolizers of S-mephenytoin (patients deficient in cytochrome P450 2C19).

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to

In the AMONDYS 45 clinical development program, 76 patients received at least one intravenous dose of AMONDYS 45 (30 mg/kg). All patients were male and
had genetically confirmed Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Age at study entry was 7 to 20 years (mean 9.9 years). Most (88%) patients were White, and 9% were
Asian.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
In the interim analysis of muscle biopsy tissue obtained at baseline and at Week 48 from patients in Study 1, patients who received AMONDYS 45 (n=27)
demonstrated a significant increase in skipping of exon 45 (p<0.001) compared to baseline, demonstrated by reverse transcription digital droplet polymerase
chain reaction (RT-ddPCR). Patients who received placebo (n=16) did not demonstrate a significant increase in exon 45 skipping (p=0.808). The level of exon
skipping is positively correlated with dystrophin protein expression [see Clinical Studies (14)].
In Study 1 [see Clinical Studies (14)], dystrophin levels as assessed by the Sarepta Western blot assay increased from 0.93% (SD 1.67) of normal at baseline to
1.74% (SD 1.97) of normal after 48 weeks of treatment with AMONDYS 45. The mean change from baseline in dystrophin after 48 weeks of treatment with
AMONDYS 45 was 0.81% (SD 0.70) of normal levels (p<0.001). This increase in dystrophin protein expression after treatment with AMONDYS 45 positively
correlated with the level of exon skipping. The mean change from baseline in dystrophin after 48 weeks of treatment with placebo was 0.22% (SD 0.49). Patients
who received AMONDYS 45 showed a significantly greater increase in dystrophin protein levels from baseline to Week 48 compared to those who received
placebo (mean difference of 0.59%; p = 0.004). Dystrophin levels assessed by Western blot can be meaningfully influenced by differences in sample processing,
analytical technique, reference materials, and quantitation methodologies. Therefore, comparing dystrophin results from different assay protocols will require a
standardized reference material and additional bridging studies. Correct localization of dystrophin to the sarcolemma in patients treated with AMONDYS 45 was
demonstrated by immunofluorescence staining.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics

Age, Sex & Race
The pharmacokinetics of AMONDYS 45 have been evaluated in male DMD patients 9 to 20 years of age. There is no experience with the use of AMONDYS 45
in DMD patients 65 years of age or older. AMONDYS 45 has not been studied in female patients. The potential impact of race on the pharmacokinetics of
casimersen is unknown.
Patients with Renal Impairment
The effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of casimersen was evaluated in nonDMD subjects aged 35 to 65 years with Stage 2 chronic kidney
disease (CKD) (n=8, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥60 and <90mL/min/1.73 m2 ) or Stage 3 CKD (n=8, eGFR ≥30 and <60mL/min/1.73 m2 ) and
matched healthy subjects (n=9, eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 ). Subjects received a single 30 mg/kg intravenous dose of casimersen.

Clinical safety experience with CHOLBAM consists of:
• Trial 1: a non-randomized, open-label, single-arm trial of 50 patients with bile acid synthesis disorders due to SEDs and 29 patients with PDs including
Zellweger spectrum disorders. Safety data are available over the 18 years of the trial.
• Trial 2: an extension trial of 12 new patients (10 SED and 2 PD) along with 31 (21 SED and 10 PD) patients who rolled over from Trial 1. Safety data are
available for 3 years and 11 months of treatment. (…)
Deaths
In Trial 1, among the 50 patients with SEDs, 5 patients aged 1 year or less died, which included three patients originally diagnosed with AKR1D1 deficiency, one
with 3β-HSD deficiency and one with CYP7A1 deficiency. The cause of death was attributed to progression of underlying liver disease in every patient.
Of 29 patients in Trial 1 with PDs including Zellweger spectrum disorders, 12 patients between the ages of 7 months and 2.5 years died. In the majority of these
patients (8/12), the cause of death was attributed to progression of underlying liver disease or to a worsening of their primary illness.
Two additional patients in Trial 1 (1 SED and 1 PD) died who had been off study medication for more than one year with the cause of death most likely being a
progression of underlying liver disease. Of the patients who died with disease progression, laboratory testing showed abnormal serum transaminases, bilirubin,
or cholestasis on liver biopsy suggesting worsening of their underlying cholestasis.
In Trial 2, among the 31 patients with SED, two patients (1 new patient and 1 who rolled over from Trial 1) died. The cause of death in both cases was unrelated
to their primary treatment or progression of their underlying liver disease.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1 Bile Acid Synthesis Disorders due to Single Enzyme Defects
The effectiveness of CHOLBAM at dosages of 10 to 15 mg/kg per day in patients with SEDs was assessed in:
• Trial 1: a non-randomized, open-label, single-arm trial in 50 patients over an 18-year period
• Trial 2: an extension trial of 12 new patients along with 21 patients who rolled over from Trial 1 (n=33 total). Efficacy data are available for 21 months of
treatment.
• A published case series of 15 patients with SEDs and 3 patients with PDs. (…)
Trials 1 and 2
On average, patients were 4 years of age at the start of cholic acid treatment (range three weeks to 36 years). The majority of patients were treated for an
average of 310 weeks (6 years). Patient ages at the end of treatment ranged from 19 to 36 years.
Overall, 28 of 44 patients (64%) were responders. The breakdown by defect type is as follows: (See Table 4).
Among SED responsive patients, 45% of the responders met the two clinical criteria plus 1 to 3 laboratory criteria and 55% met the weight criteria.
Only six patients had pre- and post-treatment liver biopsies in Trial 1. Where biopsies were available, pre-treatment biopsies showed varying degrees of
inflammation, bridging fibrosis, and giant cell formation. Post-treatment biopsies generally showed reduced or absent inflammation and reduced or absent giant
cell formation. Fibrosis remained but did not progress.
It is difficult to evaluate long term survival in patients with SEDs since there is little natural history survival data for comparison. Overall, 41 of 62 (67%) patients
with SEDs survived greater than 3 years from trial entry. Thirteen of these 41 patients (32%) survived for 10 to 24 years on treatment.
Four patients in Trial 1 underwent liver transplant, including two patients diagnosed with AKR1D1 deficiency, one with 3β-HSD deficiency, and one with CYP7A1
deficiency and two patients in Trial 2, both with AKR1D1.
CHOLBAM’s effects on extrahepatic manifestations of SEDs, such as neurologic symptoms have not been established.
Case Series
A published report of a case series described 15 patients with SEDs; thirteen were diagnosed with 3β-HSD deficiency and two with AKR1D1 deficiency by mass
spectrometry and gene sequencing. All patients were treated with cholic acid with a median duration of treatment of 12.4 years (range 5.6 to 15 years). (…)
Of the 8 patients who received ursodeoxycholic acid initially, the six with 3β-HSD deficiency demonstrated mild clinical improvement. Following treatment with
cholic acid, all patients experienced resolution of their pre-existing jaundice and steatorrhea, and all but one experienced resolution of hepatosplenomegaly.
Weight and height improved, and sexual maturation progressed normally in all patients. Liver biopsies were performed in 14 patients after at least 5 years of
cholic acid treatment and all showed resolution of cholestasis. In one patient with 3βHSD deficiency, biliary bile acid analysis while on cholic acid therapy
showed enrichment of the bile with cholic acid.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism and Excretion
(…) The polymorphic CYP2C19 is the major contributor to the metabolism of the pharmacologically active N-desmethylclobazam [see Clinical Pharmacology
(12.5)]. In CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, levels of N-desmethylclobazam were 5-fold higher in plasma and 2- to 3-fold higher in the urine than in CYP2C19
extensive metabolizers.
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
The polymorphic CYP2C19 is the main enzyme that metabolizes the pharmacologically active N-desmethylclobazam. Compared to CYP2C19 extensive
metabolizers, N-desmethylclobazam AUC and Cmax are approximately 3-5 times higher in poor metabolizers (e.g., subjects with *2/*2 genotype) and 2 times
higher in intermediate metabolizers (e.g., subjects with *1/*2 genotype). The prevalence of CYP2C19 poor metabolism differs depending on racial/ethnic
background. Dosage in patients who are known CYP2C19 poor metabolizers may need to be adjusted [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
The systemic exposure of clobazam is similar for both CYP2C19 poor and extensive metabolizers.

Precautions, Diminished antiplatelet effect in patients with two loss-of-function alleles of the CYP2C19 gene
Clinical The effectiveness of Plavix results from its antiplatelet activity, which is dependent on its conversion to an active metabolite by the cytochrome P450 (CYP)
Pharmacology system, principally CYP2C19 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Plavix at recommended doses forms less of the active
metabolite and so has a reduced effect on platelet activity in patients who are homozygous for nonfunctional alleles of the CYP2C19 gene, (termed “CYP2C19
poor metabolizers”). Tests are available to identify patients who are CYP2C19 poor metabolizers [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.5)]. Consider use of another

(Stage IV) BRAF V600E or V600K mutation-positive cutaneous melanoma. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive TAFINLAR 150 mg twice daily and
trametinib 2 mg once daily or TAFINLAR 150 mg twice daily plus matching placebo. Randomization was stratified by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level (> the
upper limit of normal (ULN) vs. ≤ ULN) and BRAF mutation subtype (V600E vs. V600K). The major efficacy outcome was investigator-assessed progression-free
survival (PFS) per RECIST v1.1 with additional efficacy outcome measures of overall survival (OS) and confirmed overall response rate (ORR).
The COMBI-v study compared TAFINLAR and trametinib to vemurafenib as first-line treatment therapy for patients with unresectable (Stage IIIC) or metastatic
(Stage IV) BRAF V600E or V600K mutation-positive cutaneous melanoma. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive TAFINLAR 150 mg twice daily and
trametinib 2 mg once daily or vemurafenib 960 mg twice daily. Randomization was stratified by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level (> the upper limit of normal
(ULN) vs. ≤ ULN) and BRAF mutation subtype (V600E vs. V600K). The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival. Additional efficacy outcome
measures were PFS and ORR as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1. (…)
(…) All patients had tumor containing BRAF V600E or V600K mutations as determined by centralized testing, 85% with BRAF V600E mutations and 15% with
BRAF V600K mutations. (…)
In the COMBI-v study, 704 patients were randomized to TAFINLAR plus trametinib (n = 352) or single-agent vemurafenib (n = 352). The median age was 55
years (range: 18 to 91 years), 96% were White, and 55% were male, 6% percent of patients had Stage IIIC, 61% had M1c disease, 67% had a normal LDH,
70% had ECOG performance status of 0, 89% had BRAF V600E mutation-positive melanoma, and one patient had a history of brain metastases. (See Table 12
and Figures 2, 3)
COMBI-MB Study
(…) The COMBI-MB study enrolled 121 patients with a BRAF V600E (85%) or V600K (15%) mutation. The median age was 54 years (range: 23 to 84 years),
58% were male, 100% were white, 8% were from the United States, 65% had a normal LDH value at baseline, and 97% had an ECOG performance status of 0

also had extracranial metastases. (…)
14.3 Adjuvant Treatment of BRAF V600E or V600K Mutation-Positive Melanoma
COMBI-AD (NCT 01682083) was an international, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled patients with Stage III melanoma
with BRAF V600E or V600K mutations as detected by the THxID™-BRAF assay and pathologic involvement of regional lymph node(s). Patients were
randomized (1:1) to receive TAFINLAR 150 mg twice daily and trametinib 2 mg once daily or two placebos for up to 1 year. Enrollment required complete
resection of melanoma with complete lymphadenectomy within 12 weeks prior to randomization. The trial excluded patients with mucosal or ocular melanoma,
unresectable in-transit metastases, distant metastatic disease, or prior systemic anticancer treatment, including radiotherapy. Randomization was stratified by
BRAF mutation status (V600E or V600K) and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC; 7th Edition) stage (IIIa, IIIb, or IIIc). (…)
(…) In COMBI-AD, a total of 870 patients were randomized: 438 to TAFINLAR in combination with trametinib and 432 to placebo. Median age was 51 years
(range 18-89), 55% were male, 99% were White, and 91% had an ECOG performance status of 0. Disease characteristics were AJCC Stage IIIa (18%), Stage
IIIb (41%), Stage IIIc (40%), stage unknown (1%); BRAF V600E mutation (91%), BRAF V600K mutation (9%); macroscopic lymph nodes (65%); and tumor
ulceration (41%). The median duration of follow-up (time from randomization to last contact or death) was 2.8 years. (See Table 14) (…)
14.4 BRAF V600E Mutation-Positive Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
In Study BRF113928 (NCT01336634), the safety and efficacy of TAFINLAR alone or administered with trametinib were evaluated in a multi-center, three-cohort,
non-randomized, activity-estimating, open-label trial. Key eligibility criteria were locally confirmed BRAF V600E mutation-positive metastatic NSCLC, no prior
exposure to BRAF or MEK-inhibitor, and absence of EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement (unless patients had progression on prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor
therapy). (…)
(…) In a subgroup analysis of patients with retrospectively, centrally confirmed BRAF V600E mutation-positive NSCLC with the Oncomine™ Dx Target Test, the
ORR results were similar to those presented in Table 15. (See Table 15)

Electrophysiology
The effect of six-day treatment of 15 mg and 75 mg Enablex on QT/QTc interval was evaluated in a multiple-dose, double-blind, randomized, placebo- and
active-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg) parallel-arm design study in 179 healthy adults (44 percent male, 56 percent female) aged 18 to 65. Subjects included
18 percent poor metabolizer (PMs) and 82 percent extensive metabolizer (EMs). The QT interval was measured over a 24-hour period both predosing and at
steady-state. The 75 mg Enablex dose was chosen because this achieves exposure similar to that observed in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers administered the
highest recommended dose (15 mg) of darifenacin in the presence of a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor. At the doses studied, Enablex did not result in QT/QTc interval
prolongation at any time during the steady-state, while moxifloxacin treatment resulted in a mean increase from baseline QTcF of about 7.0 msec when
compared to placebo. In this study, darifenacin 15 mg and 75 mg doses demonstrated a mean heart rate change of 3.1 and 1.3 bpm, respectively, when
compared to placebo. However, in the clinical efficacy and safety studies, the change in median HR following treatment with Enablex was no different from
placebo.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
After oral administration of Enablex to healthy volunteers, peak plasma concentrations of darifenacin are reached approximately seven hours after multiple
dosing and steady-state plasma concentrations are achieved by the sixth day of dosing. The mean (SD) steady-state time course of Enablex 7.5 mg and 15 mg
extended-release tablets is depicted in Figure 1.
A summary of mean (standard deviation, SD) steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters of Enablex 7.5 mg and 15 mg extended-release tablets in EMs and PMs
of CYP2D6 is provided in Table 3.
The mean oral bioavailability of Enablex in EMs at steady-state is estimated to be 15 percent and 19 percent for 7.5 mg and 15 mg tablets, respectively. (See
Figure 1 and Table 3)
Variability in Metabolism
A subset of individuals (approximately 7 percent Caucasians and 2 percent African Americans) are poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2D6 metabolized drugs.
Individuals with normal CYP2D6 activity are referred to as extensive metabolizers (EMs). The metabolism of darifenacin in PMs will be principally mediated via
CYP3A4. The darifenacin ratios (PM versus EM) for Cmax and AUC following darifenacin 15 mg once daily at steadystate were 1.9 and 1.7, respectively.
Excretion
Following administration of an oral dose of 14C-darifenacin solution to healthy volunteers, approximately 60 percent of the radioactivity was recovered in the
urine and 40 percent in the feces. Only a small percentage of the excreted dose was unchanged darifenacin (3 percent). Estimated darifenacin clearance is 40
L/h for EMs and 32 L/h for PMs. The elimination half-life of darifenacin following chronic dosing is approximately 13 to 19 hours.
Drug-Drug Interactions
CYP3A4 Inhibitors
In a drug interaction study, when a 7.5 mg once daily dose of Enablex was given to steadystate and co-administered with the potent CYP3A4 inhibitor
ketoconazole 400 mg, mean darifenacin Cmax increased to 11.2 ng/mL for EMs (n = 10) and 55.4 ng/mL for one PM subject (n = 1). Mean AUC increased to
143 and 939 ng•h/mL for EMs and for one PM subject, respectively. When a 15 mg daily dose of Enablex was given with ketoconazole, mean darifenacin Cmax
increased to 67.6 ng/mL and 58.9 ng/mL for EMs (n = 3) and one PM subject (n = 1), respectively. Mean AUC increased to 1110 and 931 ng•h/mL for EMs and
for one PM subject, respectively [see Dosage and Administration (2) and Drug Interactions (7.1)].

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
The response to DDAVP of factor VIII activity and plasminogen activator is dose-related, with maximal plasma levels of 300 to 400 percent change from baseline
obtained after infusion of 0.4 mcg/kg. The increase of factor VIII is rapid and evident within 30 minutes, reaching a maximum at a point ranging from 90 minutes
to two hours. The duration of the hemostatic effect depends on the half-life for VIII:C which is about 8-12 hours. The percentage increase of factor VIII levels in
patients with mild hemophilia A and von Willebrand’s disease was not significantly different from that observed in normal healthy individuals when treated with
0.3 mcg/kg of DDAVP infused over 10 minutes. The use of DDAVP Injection in patients with central diabetes insipidus reduces urinary output, increases urine
osmolality, and decreases plasma osmolality.

At the maximum recommended dose, AUSTEDO does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent. An exposure-response analysis on QTc

Although the pharmacokinetics of deutetrabenazine and its metabolites have not been systematically evaluated in patients who do not express the drug

12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism
(…) CYP2C19 is a polymorphic liver enzyme which exhibits three phenotypes in the metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates: extensive metabolizers (*1/*1),
intermediate metabolizers (*1/mutant) and poor metabolizers (mutant/mutant). Dexlansoprazole is the major circulating component in plasma regardless of
CYP2C19 metabolizer status. In CYP2C19 intermediate and extensive metabolizers, the major plasma metabolites are 5hydroxy dexlansoprazole and its
glucuronide conjugate, while in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers dexlansoprazole sulfone is the major plasma metabolite.
Cytochrome P 450 Interactions
(…) Although in vitro studies indicated that DEXILANT has the potential to inhibit CYP2C19 in vivo, an in vivo drug-drug interaction study in mainly CYP2C19
extensive and intermediate metabolizers has shown that DEXILANT does not affect the pharmacokinetics of diazepam (CYP2C19 substrate). (…)
Clopidogrel
Clopidogrel is metabolized to its active metabolite in part by CYP2C19. A study of healthy subjects who were CYP2C19 extensive metabolizers, receiving once
daily administration of clopidogrel 75 mg alone or concomitantly with DEXILANT 60 mg capsules (n=40), for nine days was conducted. The mean AUC of the
active metabolite of clopidogrel was reduced by approximately 9% (mean AUC ratio was 91%, with 90% CI of 86-97%) when DEXILANT was coadministered
compared to administration of clopidogrel alone. Pharmacodynamic parameters were also measured and demonstrated that the change in inhibition of platelet
aggregation (induced by 5 mcM ADP) was related to the change in the exposure to clopidogrel active metabolite. The effect on exposure to the active metabolite
of clopidogrel and on clopidogrel-induced platelet inhibition is not considered clinically important.
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
Effect of CYP2C19 Polymorphism on Systemic Exposure of Dexlansoprazole
Systemic exposure of dexlansoprazole is generally higher in intermediate and poor metabolizers. In male Japanese subjects who received a single dose of
DEXILANT 30 mg or 60 mg capsules (N=2 to 6 subjects/group), mean dexlansoprazole Cmax and AUC values were up to two times higher in intermediate
compared to extensive metabolizers; in poor metabolizers, mean Cmax was up to four times higher and mean AUC was up to 12 times higher compared to
extensive metabolizers. Though such study was not conducted in Caucasians and African Americans, it is expected dexlansoprazole exposure in these races
will be affected by CYP2C19 phenotypes as well.

Clinical The quinidine in NUEDEXTA inhibits CYP2D6 in patients in whom CYP2D6 is not otherwise genetically absent or its activity otherwise pharmacologically
Pharmacology inhibited [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), (12.5)]. Because of this effect on CYP2D6, accumulation of parent drug and/or
failure of active metabolite formation may decrease the safety and/or the efficacy of drugs used concomitantly with NUEDEXTA that are metabolized by CYP2D6
[see Drug Interactions (7.5)].
5.8 CYP2D6 Poor Metabolizers
The quinidine component of NUEDEXTA is intended to inhibit CYP2D6 so that higher exposure to dextromethorphan can be achieved compared to when
dextromethorphan is given alone [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), (12.5)]. Approximately 7-10% of Caucasians and 3-8%
of African Americans lack the capacity to metabolize CYP2D6 substrates and are classified as poor metabolizers (PMs). The quinidine component of
NUEDEXTA is not expected to contribute to the effectiveness of NUEDEXTA in PMs, but adverse events of the quinidine are still possible. In those patients who
may be at risk of significant toxicity due to quinidine, genotyping to determine if they are PMs should be considered prior to making the decision to treat with
NUEDEXTA.

The identification of dMMR/MSI-H tumor status was prospectively determined based on local testing assays (IHC, PCR or NGS), or central testing (IHC) using
the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel when no local result was available.
Randomization was stratified by MMR/MSI status, prior external pelvic radiotherapy, and disease status (recurrent, primary Stage III, or primary Stage IV).
Treatment with JEMPERLI continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or a maximum of 3 years. Administration of JEMPERLI was permitted
beyond RECIST-defined disease progression if the patient was clinically stable and considered to be deriving clinical benefit by the investigator.
Assessment of tumor status was performed every 6 weeks through Week 25, every 9 weeks through Week 52 and every 12 weeks thereafter. In the
dMMR/MSI-H subgroup, the major efficacy outcome was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid

The efficacy of ORSERDU was evaluated in EMERALD (NCT03778931), a randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multicenter trial that enrolled 478
postmenopausal women and men with ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer of which 228 patients had ESR1 mutations. Patients were required to
have disease progression on one or two prior lines of endocrine therapy, including one line containing a CDK4/6 inhibitor. Eligible patients could have received
up to one prior line of chemotherapy in the advanced or metastatic setting.
Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive ORSERDU 345 mg orally once daily (n=239), or investigator’s choice of endocrine therapy (n=239), which included
fulvestrant (n=166), or an aromatase inhibitor (n=73; anastrozole, letrozole or exemestane). Randomization was stratified by ESR1 mutation status (detected vs
not detected), prior treatment with fulvestrant (yes vs no), and visceral metastasis (yes vs no). ESR1 mutational status was determined by blood circulating
tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) using the Guardant360 CDx assay and was limited to ESR1 missense mutations in the ligand binding domain (between
codons 310 to 547). Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The major efficacy outcome was progression-free survival (PFS), assessed by a blinded imaging review committee (BIRC). An additional efficacy outcome
measure was overall survival (OS).
A statistically significant difference in PFS was observed in the intention to treat (ITT) population and in the subgroup of patients with ESR1 mutations. An
exploratory analysis of PFS in the 250 (52%) patients without ESR1 mutations showed a HR 0.86 (95% CI: 0.63, 1.19) indicating that the improvement in the ITT
population was primarily attributed to the results seen in the ESR1 mutated population.
Among the patients with ESR1 mutations (n=228), the median age was 63 years (range: 28-89); 100% were female; 72% were White, 5.7% Asian, 3.5% Black,
0.4% Other, 18.4% unknown/not reported; 8.8% were Hispanic/Latino; and baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (57%) or 1 (43%). Most patients had

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on CERDELGA
Coadministration of CERDELGA with:
• CYP2D6 or CYP3A inhibitors may increase eliglustat concentrations which may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias from prolongation of the PR, QTc,
and/or QRS cardiac interval [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
• strong CYP3A inducers decreases eliglustat concentrations which may reduce CERDELGA efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
The oral bioavailability of eliglustat was less than 5% in CYP2D6 EMs following a single 84 mg dose of CERDELGA.
In CYP2D6 EMs, the eliglustat pharmacokinetics is time-dependent and the systemic exposure increases in a more than dose-proportional manner over the
dose range of 42 to 294 mg (0.5 to 3.5 times the recommended dosage). In addition, after multiple oral doses of 84 mg twice daily in EMs, eliglustat systemic
exposure (AUC0-12) increased up to about 2-fold at steady state compared to after the first dose (AUC0-∞). The pharmacokinetics of eliglustat in CYP2D6 PMs
is expected to be linear and time-independent. Compared to EMs, the systemic exposure following 84 mg twice daily at steady state is 7-fold to 9-fold higher in
PMs.
Dosing of CERDELGA 84 mg once daily has not been studied in PMs. The predicted Cmax and AUC0-24hr in PMs using a physiologically based
pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model with 84 mg once daily were 75 ng/mL and 956 hr∙ng/mL, respectively.
Table 7 describes the pharmacokinetic parameters for eliglustat in healthy subjects following multiple doses of 84 mg CERDELGA twice daily. (See Table 7)
Administration of CERDELGA with a high fat meal (approximately 1000 calories with 50% calories from fat) resulted in a 15% decrease in Cmax (not clinically
significant) but no change in AUC.
Distribution
Following intravenous administration, the volume of distribution of eliglustat was 835 L in EMs. Plasma protein binding of eliglustat ranges from 76% to 83%.
Elimination
Eliglustat terminal elimination half-life was approximately 6.5 hours in CYP2D6 EMs, and 8.9 hours in PMs. Following intravenous administration of 42 mg (0.5
times the recommended oral dose) in healthy subjects, the mean (range) of eliglustat total body clearance was 88 L/h (80 to 105 L/h) in EMs.
Specific Populations
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of eliglustat were observed based on age (18 to 71 years), sex, race (mostly were Caucasian,
including those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent; however, it included the following populations: African American, American Indians, Hispanics, and Asians), or
body weight (41 to 136 kg).
Patients with renal impairment
Eliglustat pharmacokinetics was similar in CYP2D6 EMs with severe renal impairment and healthy CYP2D6 EMs. Eliglustat pharmacokinetics in EMs with ESRD
and in IMs or PMs with any degree of renal impairment is unknown [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].
Patients with hepatic impairment
Table 8 describes the effect of mild and moderate hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of eliglustat in CYP2D6 EMs compared to EMs with normal
hepatic function following a single 84 mg dose. The effect of hepatic impairment is highly variable with the coefficients of variation (CVs%) of 135% and 110% for
Cmax and 171% and 121% for AUC in CYP2D6 EMs with mild and moderate hepatic impairment, respectively. (See Table 8)
Steady-state pharmacokinetics of eliglustat in CYP2D6 IMs and PMs with mild and moderate hepatic impairment is unknown. The effect of severe hepatic
impairment in subjects with any CYP2D6 phenotype is unknown [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].

The efficacy of ROZLYTREK was evaluated in a pooled subgroup of patients with ROS1-positive metastatic NSCLC who received ROZLYTREK at various
doses and schedules (90% received ROZLYTREK 600 mg orally once daily) and were enrolled in one of three multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical trials:
ALKA, STARTRK-1 (NCT02097810) and STARTRK-2 (NCT02568267). To be included in this pooled subgroup, patients were required to have histologically
confirmed, recurrent or metastatic, ROS1-positive NSCLC, ECOG performance status ≤ 2, measurable disease per RECIST v 1.1, ≥ 18 months of follow-up from
first posttreatment tumor assessment, and no prior therapy with a ROS1 inhibitor. Identification of ROS1 gene fusion in tumor specimens was prospectively
determined in local laboratories using either a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), next-generation sequencing (NGS), or polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
laboratorydeveloped tests. All patients were assessed for CNS lesions at baseline. The major efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and
duration of response (DOR) according to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR). Intracranial response according to
Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) was assessed by BICR. Tumor assessments with imaging were performed every 8 weeks.
Efficacy was assessed in 92 patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC. The median age was 53 years (range: 27 to 86); female (65%); White (48%), Asian (45%),
and Black (5%); and Hispanic or Latino (2.4%); never smoked (59%); and ECOG performance status 0 or 1 (88%). Ninety-nine percent of patients had
metastatic disease, including 42% with CNS metastases; 96% had adenocarcinoma; 65% received prior platinum-based chemotherapy for metastatic or
recurrent disease and no patient had progressed in less than 6 months following platinum-based adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. ROS1 positivity was

Efficacy in Adult Patients
The efficacy of ROZLYTREK was evaluated in a pooled subgroup of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors with a NTRK gene fusion
enrolled in one of three multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical trials: ALKA, STARTRK-1 (NCT02097810) and STARTRK-2 (NCT02568267). To be included
in this pooled subgroup, patients were required to have progressed following systemic therapy for their disease, if available, or would have required surgery
causing significant morbidity for locally advanced disease; measurable disease per RECIST v1.1; at least 2 years of follow-up from first post-treatment tumor
assessment; and no prior therapy with a TRK inhibitor. Patients received ROZLYTREK at various doses and schedules (94% received ROZLYTREK 600 mg
orally once daily) until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Identification of positive NTRK gene fusion status was prospectively determined in local
laboratories or a central laboratory using various nucleic acid-based tests. The major efficacy outcome measures were ORR and DOR, as determined by a BICR
according to RECIST v1.1. Intracranial response according to RECIST v1.1 as evaluated by BICR. Tumor assessments with imaging were performed every 8
weeks.
Efficacy was assessed in the first 54 adult patients with solid tumors with an NTRK gene fusion enrolled into these trials. The median age was 58 years (range:
21 to 83); female (59%); White (80%), Asian (13%) and Hispanic or Latino (7%); and ECOG performance status 0 (43%) or 1 (46%). Ninety-six percent of
patients had metastatic disease, including 22% with CNS metastases, and 4% had locally advanced, unresectable disease. All patients had received prior
treatment for their cancer including surgery (n = 43), radiotherapy (n = 36), or systemic therapy (n = 48). Forty patients (74%) received prior systemic therapy for
metastatic disease with a median of 1 prior systemic regimen and 17% (n = 9) received 3 or more prior systemic regimens. The most common cancers were
sarcoma (24%), lung cancer (19%), salivary gland tumors (13%), breast cancer (11%), thyroid cancer (9%), and colorectal cancer (7%). A total of 52 (96%)
patients had an NTRK gene fusion detected by NGS and 2 (4%) had an NTRK gene fusion detected by other nucleic acid-based tests. Eighty-three percent of
patients had central laboratory confirmation of NTRK gene fusion using an analytically validated NGS test.
Efficacy results are summarized in Tables 13, 14, and 15.
Efficacy in Pediatric Patients
The efficacy of ROZLYTREK was evaluated in pediatric patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors with a NTRK gene fusion enrolled in one of two
multicenter, open-label clinical trials: STARTRK-NG (NCT02650401) and TAPISTRY (NCT04589845). To be included in the analysis, patients were required to
have received at least 1 dose of ROZLYTREK; measurable or evaluable disease at baseline; at least 6 months of follow-up; and no prior therapy with a TRK
inhibitor. Patients received ROZLYTREK 20 mg to 600 mg based on body surface area (BSA) orally or via enteral feeding tube once daily in 4-week cycles until
unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by BICR according to RECIST
v1.1 for extracranial tumors and according to Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) for primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. An
additional efficacy outcome measure was DOR as evaluated by BICR.
Efficacy was assessed in 33 pediatric patients with NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors treated with ROZLYTREK. The median age was 4 years (range: 2 months
to 15 years); male (52%); White (58%), Asian (30%), other races (9%), Black or African American (3.0%), and Hispanic or Latino (9%). Seventy-one percent of
patients had locally advanced disease and 29% had metastatic disease. Eighty-five percent of patients had received prior treatment for their cancer including
surgery (n=20), radiotherapy (n=7) and/or systemic therapy (n=22). The sites for metastatic disease included other (4 patients), brain (3 patients) and lung (2
patients).

12.5 Pharmacogenomics
CYP2C9 activity is decreased in individuals with genetic variants such as CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 alleles. The impact of CYP2C9 genetic variants on the
pharmacokinetics of etrasimod has not been directly evaluated. CYP2C9 poor metabolizers (e.g., *2/*3, *3/*3) may have decreased clearance of etrasimod when
VELSIPITY is used concomitantly with moderate to strong inhibitors of CYP2C8 or CYP3A4 [see Drug Interactions (7) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].
CYP2C9 intermediate metabolizers (e.g., *1/*2, *1/*3, *2/*2) may have decreased clearance of etrasimod when VELSIPITY is used concomitantly with moderate
to strong inhibitors of CYP2C8 or CYP3A4; however, the effect on VELSIPITY exposure in CYP2C9 intermediate metabolizers with concomitant CYP2C8 or
CYP3A4 inhibitors is not known.
The prevalence of the CYP2C9 poor metabolizer phenotype is approximately 2 to 3% in White populations, 0.5 to 4% in Asian populations, and <1% in African-
American populations. Other decreased or nonfunctional CYP2C9 alleles (e.g., *5, *6, *8, *11) are more prevalent in African-American populations.

761181 (1) Study ELIPSE-HoFH (NCT03399786) was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebocontrolled trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of EVKEEZA
compared to placebo in 65 patients with HoFH. During the 24-week, double-blind treatment period, 43 patients were randomized to receive EVKEEZA 15 mg/kg
IV every 4 weeks and 22 patients to receive placebo. After the double-blind treatment period, 64 of 65 patients entered a 24-week open-label extension period in
which all patients received EVKEEZA 15 mg/kg IV every 4 weeks.
Patients were on a background of other lipid-lowering therapies, including maximally tolerated statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitor antibodies, lomitapide, and
lipoprotein apheresis. Enrolment was stratified by apheresis status and geographical region. The diagnosis of HoFH was determined by genetic testing or by the
presence of the following clinical criteria: history of an untreated total cholesterol (TC) >500 mg/dL and either xanthoma before 10 years of age or evidence of
TC >250 mg/dL in both parents. In this trial, 40% (26 of 65) patients had limited LDL receptor (LDLR) function, defined by either <15% receptor function by in
vitro assays or by genetic variants likely to result in minimal to no LDLR function by mutation analysis. (See Table 2 and Figure 1)
At Week 24, the observed reduction in LDL-C with EVKEEZA was similar across predefined subgroups, including age, sex, limited LDLR activity, concomitant
treatment with lipoprotein apheresis, and concomitant background lipid-lowering medications (statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitor antibodies, and lomitapide).
Pediatric Patients with HoFH
In ELIPSE-HoFH, 1 pediatric patient received 15 mg/kg IV of EVKEEZA every 4 weeks, and 1 pediatric patient received placebo, as an adjunct to other lipid-
lowering therapies (e.g., statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitor antibodies and lipoprotein apheresis). Both patients had null/null variants in the LDLR. At Week 24,

12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Administration of evinacumab-dgnb in HoFH patients resulted in reductions in LDL-C, total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, apolipoprotein B and TG [see Clinical
Studies (14)].
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic parameters described in this section are presented following administration of evinacumab-dgnb 15 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks,
unless otherwise specified. Steady-state is reached after 4 doses, and the accumulation ratio is 2. According to population pharmacokinetic modeling, the mean
(standard deviation) steady-state trough concentration is 241 (96.5) mg/L, whereas the mean (standard deviation) Cmax at the end of infusion is 689 (157)
mg/L. Due to non-linear clearance, a 4.3-fold increase in area under the concentration-time curve at steady-state (AUCtau.ss) for a 3-fold increase in
evinacumab-dgnb dose up to 15 mg/kg IV every 4 weeks was predicted in patients with HoFH.
Specific Populations
A population PK analysis conducted on data from 183 healthy subjects and 95 patients with HoFH suggests that the following factors have no clinically
significant effect on the exposure of evinacumab-dgnb: age (12 to 75 years), gender, body weight (42 to 152 kg), and race (White, Asian, Black, and Other).

The efficacy of ENHERTU was evaluated in study DESTINY-Breast03 (NCT03529110), a multicenter, open-label, randomized trial that enrolled 524 patients
with HER2-positive, unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer who received prior trastuzumab and taxane therapy for metastatic disease or developed
disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant therapy. HER2 expression was based on archival tissue tested at a central laboratory prior
to enrollment with HER2 positivity defined as HER2 IHC 3+ or ISH positive. (…)
DESTINY-Breast01
The efficacy of ENHERTU was evaluated in study DESTINY-Breast01 (NCT03248492), a multicenter, single-arm, trial that enrolled 184 female patients with
HER2-positive, unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer who had received two or more prior anti-HER2 therapies. Patients were excluded for a history of
treated ILD or current ILD at screening. Patients were also excluded for history of clinically significant cardiac disease, active brain metastases, and ECOG
performance status >1. HER2 expression was based on archival tissue tested at a central laboratory prior to enrollment with HER2 positivity defined as HER2
IHC 3+ or ISH positive. (…)
14.2 HER2-Low Metastatic Breast Cancer
The efficacy of ENHERTU was evaluated in study DESTINY-Breast04 (NCT03734029), a randomized, multicenter, open-label study that enrolled 557 adult
patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low breast cancer. The study included 2 cohorts: 494 hormone receptor-positive (HR+) patients and 63 hormone
receptor-negative (HR-) patients. HER2-low expression was defined as IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-, as determined at a central laboratory using Ventana’s
PATHWAY anti-HER-2/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay. Patients must have received chemotherapy in the metastatic setting or have
developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients who were HR+ must have received at least one
endocrine therapy or be ineligible for endocrine therapy. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive either ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg (N=373) by intravenous infusion
every 3 weeks or physician’s choice of chemotherapy (N=184, eribulin, capecitabine, gemcitabine, nab paclitaxel, or paclitaxel). Randomization was stratified by
HER2 IHC status of tumor samples (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-), number of prior lines of chemotherapy in the metastatic setting (1 or 2), and HR status/prior
CDK4/6i treatment (HR+ with prior CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment, HR+ without prior CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment, or HR-). (…)

12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Cardiac Electrophysiology
(…) Electrocardiographic parameters were measured over a 24-hour period at pre-dose, after the first administration, and after the third administration of study
medication. Fesoterodine 28 mg was chosen because this dose, when administered to CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers, results in an exposure to the active
metabolite that is similar to the exposure in a CYP2D6 poor metabolizer receiving fesoterodine 8 mg together with CYP3A4 blockade. (…)
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
(…) A summary of pharmacokinetic parameters for the active metabolite after a single dose of Toviaz 4 mg and 8 mg in extensive and poor metabolizers of
CYP2D6 is provided in Table 2. (See Table 8) (…)
Metabolism
(…) Variability in CYP2D6 Metabolism: A subset of individuals (approximately 7% of Caucasians and approximately 2% of African Americans) are poor
metabolizers for CYP2D6. Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, as compared to
extensive metabolizers.
Pediatric Patients: In pediatric patients, from 6 years to 17 years of age with NDO weighing 35 kg with CYP2D6 extensive metabolizer status receiving Toviaz
tablets, the mean values of apparent oral clearance, volume of distribution and absorption rate constant of 5-HMT are estimated to be approximately 72 L/h, 68 L
and 0.09 h-1, respectively. The Tmax and half-life of 5-HMT are estimated to be approximately 2.55 h and 7.73 h, respectively. Like adults, the 5-HMT
exposures in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers was estimated to be approximately 2-fold higher compared with extensive metabolizers. The post-hoc estimates of
steady-state exposures of 5-HMT in NDO patients weighing greater than 25 kg following Toviaz 4 mg and 8 mg tablets once daily are summarized in Table 9.
Drug-Drug Interactions
CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole 200 mg twice a day for 5 days, Cmax and
AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2.0- and 2.3-fold, respectively, after oral administration of Toviaz 8 mg to CYP2D6 extensive
metabolizers. In CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2.1- and 2.5-fold, respectively, during
coadministration of ketoconazole 200 mg twice a day for 5 days. Cmax and AUC were 4.5- and 5.7-fold higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor
metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and not taking ketoconazole. In a separate study
coadministering fesoterodine with ketoconazole 200 mg once a day for 5 days, the Cmax and AUC values of the active metabolite of fesoterodine were
increased 2.2-fold in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and 1.5- and 1.9-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. Cmax and AUC were 3.4- and 4.2 fold
higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers
and not taking ketoconazole. There is no clinically relevant effect of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. (…)
CYP2D6 Inhibitors: The interaction with CYP2D6 inhibitors was not studied. In poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, representing a maximum CYP2D6 inhibition,
Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively. [see Drug Interactions (7.4)].

020985, Fluorouracil (1) Dermatology DPYD Contraindications, CONTRAINDICATIONS
05/26/2022 Warnings (…) Carac should not be used in patients with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) enzyme deficiency. A large percentage of fluorouracil is catabolized by
the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). DPD enzyme deficiency can result in shunting of fluorouracil to the anabolic pathway, leading to cytotoxic
activity and potential toxicities. (…)
WARNINGS
The potential for a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to fluorouracil exists. Patch testing to prove hypersensitivity may be inconclusive.
Patients should discontinue therapy with Carac if symptoms of DPD enzyme deficiency develop.
Rarely, unexpected, systemic toxicity (e.g. stomatitis, diarrhea, neutropenia, and neurotoxicity) associated with parental administration of fluorouracil has been
attributed to deficiency of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase “DPD” activity. One case of life threatening systemic toxicity has been reported with the topical use
of 5% fluorouracil in a patient with a complete absence of DPD enzyme activity. Symptoms included severe abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, fever,
and chills. Physical examination revealed stomatitis, erythematous skin rash, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, inflammation of the esophagus, stomach, and
small bowel. Although this case was observed with 5% fluorouracil cream, it is unknown whether patients with profound DPD enzyme deficiency would develop
systemic toxicity with lower concentrations of topically applied fluorouracil.
Applications to mucous membranes should be avoided due to the possibility of local inflammation and ulceration.

05/26/2022 Precautions, 5.1 Increased Risk of Serious or Fatal Adverse Reactions in Patients with Low or Absent Dipyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPD) Activity
Patient Based on postmarketing reports, patients with certain homozygous or certain compound heterozygous mutations in the DPD gene that result in complete or near
Counseling complete absence of DPD activity are at increased risk for acute early-onset of toxicity and severe, life-threatening, or fatal adverse reactions caused by
Information fluorouracil (e.g., mucositis, diarrhea, neutropenia, and neurotoxicity). Patients with partial DPD activity may also have increased risk of severe, life-threatening,
or fatal adverse reactions caused by fluorouracil.
Withhold or permanently discontinue fluorouracil based on clinical assessment of the onset, duration and severity of the observed toxicities in patients with
evidence of acute early-onset or unusually severe toxicity, which may indicate near complete or total absence of DPD activity. No fluorouracil dose has been
proven safe for patients with complete absence of DPD activity. There is insufficient data to recommend a specific dose in patients with partial DPD activity as
measured by any specific test.
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.7 Potential for PROZAC to affect Other Drugs
Drugs Metabolized by CYP2D6 — Fluoxetine inhibits the activity of CYP2D6, and may make individuals with normal CYP2D6 metabolic activity resemble a poor
metabolizer. Coadministration of fluoxetine with other drugs that are metabolized by CYP2D6, including certain antidepressants (e.g., TCAs), antipsychotics
(e.g., phenothiazines and most atypicals), and antiarrhythmics (e.g., propafenone, flecainide, and others) should be approached with caution. Therapy with
medications that are predominantly metabolized by the CYP2D6 system and that have a relatively narrow therapeutic index (see list below) should be initiated at
the low end of the dose range if a patient is receiving fluoxetine concurrently or has taken it in the previous 5 weeks.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Variability in Metabolism — A subset (about 7%) of the population has reduced activity of the drug metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6). Such
individuals are referred to as “poor metabolizers” of drugs such as debrisoquin, dextromethorphan, and the TCAs. In a study involving labeled and unlabeled
enantiomers administered as a racemate, these individuals metabolized S-fluoxetine at a slower rate and thus achieved higher concentrations of S-fluoxetine.
Consequently, concentrations of S-norfluoxetine at steady state were lower. The metabolism of R-fluoxetine in these poor metabolizers appears normal. When
compared with normal metabolizers, the total sum at steady state of the plasma concentrations of the 4 active enantiomers was not significantly greater among
poor metabolizers. Thus, the net pharmacodynamic activities were essentially the same. Alternative, nonsaturable pathways (non-2D6) also contribute to the
metabolism of fluoxetine. This explains how fluoxetine achieves a steady-state concentration rather than increasing without limit.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics
In MoCD Type A, the lack of effective SOX leads to elevated levels of the neurotoxic sulfite, S-sulfocysteine (SSC). Treatment with NULIBRY resulted in a
reduction in the level of urinary SSC normalized to creatinine and the reduction was sustained with long-term treatment with NULIBRY [see Clinical Studies
(14)].
Specific Populations
Pediatric Patients Pharmacokinetic properties of fosdenopterin in pediatric MoCD Type A patients are similar to healthy adult subjects.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of NULIBRY for the treatment of patients with MoCD Type A was established based on data from three clinical studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3) that
were compared to data from a natural history study.
Study 1
Study 1 (NCT02047461) was a prospective, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study in patients with MoCD Type A who were receiving treatment with
rcPMP prior to treatment with NULIBRY. Study 1 included 8 patients, 6 of whom previously participated in Study 3. The initial NULIBRY dosage was matched to
the patient’s rcPMP dosage upon entering the study. The NULIBRY dosage was then titrated over a period of 5 months to a maximum dosage of 0.9 mg/kg
administered once daily as an intravenous infusion.
Study 2
Study 2 (NCT02629393) was a prospective, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study in one patient with MoCD Type A who had not been previously treated
with rcPMP. The initial dosage of NULIBRY in Study 2 was based on the gestational age of the patient (i.e., 36 weeks). The initial dosage was then incrementally
escalated up to a maximum dosage of 0.98 mg/kg administered once daily as an intravenous infusion (1.1 times the maximum approved recommended dosage)
[see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
Study 3
Study 3 was a retrospective, observational study that included 10 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MoCD Type A who received rcPMP. Six of these 10
patients were later enrolled in Study 1 to receive treatment with NULIBRY. Efficacy Results The efficacy of NULIBRY and rcPMP were assessed in a combined
analysis of the 13 patients with genetically confirmed MoCD Type A from Study 1 (n=8), Study 2 (n=1), and Study 3 (n=4) who received substrate replacement
therapy with NULIBRY or rcPMP. Of the 13 treated patients included in the combined analysis, 54% were male, 77% were White and 23% were Asian; the
median gestational age was 39 weeks (range 35 to 41 weeks). Of these 13 treated patients, the age at first dose was ≤ 14 days for 10 patients (with 5 patients
initiating treatment at 1 day of age) and ≥ 32 days and < 69 days for the remaining 3 patients. Overall Survival Efficacy was assessed by comparing overall

12.5 Pharmacogenomics
CYP2C9 activity is decreased in individuals with genetic variants such as the CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 alleles. Carriers of variant alleles, resulting in
intermediate (e.g., *1/*3, *2/*2) or poor metabolism (e.g., *2/*3, *3/*3) have decreased clearance of phenytoin. Other decreased or nonfunctional CYP2C9 alleles
may also result in decreased clearance of phenytoin (e.g., *5, *6, *8, *11).
The prevalence of the CYP2C9 poor metabolizer phenotype is approximately 2-3% in the White population, 0.5-4% in the Asian population, and <1% in the
African American population. The CYP2C9 intermediate phenotype prevalence is approximately 35% in the White population, 24% in the African American
population, and 15-36% in the Asian population [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].
020450, Fosphenytoin (2) Neurology HLA-B Warnings and 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
02/16/2021 Precautions 5.4 Serious Dermatologic Reactions
CEREBYX can cause severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), which may be fatal. Reported reactions in phenytoin (the active metabolite of CEREBYX)-
treated patients have included toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and
Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. The onset of symptoms is usually within 28 days, but
can occur later. CEREBYX should be discontinued at the first sign of a rash, unless the rash is clearly not drug-related. If signs or symptoms suggest a severe
cutaneous adverse reaction, use of this drug should not be resumed and alternative therapy should be considered. If a rash occurs, the patient should be
evaluated for signs and symptoms of SCARs.
Studies in patients of Chinese ancestry have found a strong association between the risk of developing SJS/TEN and the presence of HLA-B*1502, an inherited
allelic variant of the HLA B gene, in patients using carbamazepine. Limited evidence suggests that HLA-B*1502 may be a risk factor for the development of
SJS/TEN in patients of Asian ancestry taking other antiepileptic drugs associated with SJS/TEN, including phenytoin. In addition, retrospective, case-control,
genome-wide association studies in patients of southeast Asian ancestry have also identified an increased risk of SCARs in carriers of the decreased function
CYP2C9*3 variant, which has also been associated with decreased clearance of phenytoin. Consider avoiding CEREBYX as an alternative to carbamazepine in
patients who are positive for HLA-B*1502 or in CYP2C9*3 carriers.
Should CEREBYX be utilized for CYP2C9*3 carriers, consider starting at the lower end of the dosage range [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].

12.2 Pharmacodynamics
In a clinical study in postmenopausal women with primary breast cancer treated with single doses of FASLODEX 15-22 days prior to surgery, there was
evidence of increasing down-regulation of ER with increasing dose. This was associated with a dose-related decrease in the expression of the progesterone
receptor, an estrogen-regulated protein. These effects on the ER pathway were also associated with a decrease in Ki67 labeling index, a marker of cell
proliferation.

7.1 Potential for Other Drugs to Affect FANAPT
Fluoxetine: Coadministration of fluoxetine (20 mg twice daily for 21 days), a potent inhibitor of CYP2D6, with a single 3 mg dose of iloperidone to 23 healthy
volunteers, ages 29-44 years, who were classified as CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers, increased the AUC of iloperidone and its metabolite P88, by about 2- to
3-fold, and decreased the AUC of its metabolite P95 by one-half. (…)
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
The observed mean elimination half-lives for iloperidone, P88 and P95 in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (EM) are 18, 26, and 23 hours, respectively, and in
poor metabolizers (PM) are 33, 37 and 31 hours, respectively. Steady-state concentrations are attained within 3 -4 days of dosing. Iloperidone accumulation is
predictable from single-dose pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetics of iloperidone is more than dose proportional. Elimination of iloperidone is mainly through
hepatic metabolism involving 2 P450 isozymes, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4.
Metabolism and Elimination
Iloperidone is metabolized primarily by 3 biotransformation pathways: carbonyl reduction, hydroxylation (mediated by CYP2D6) and O-demethylation (mediated
by CYP3A4). There are 2 predominant iloperidone metabolites, P95 and P88. The iloperidone metabolite P95 represents 47.9% of the
AUC of iloperidone and its metabolites in plasma at steady-state for extensive metabolizers (EM) and 25% for poor metabolizers (PM). The active metabolite
P88 accounts for 19.5% and 34.0% of total plasma exposure in EM and PM, respectively.
Approximately 7% - 10% of Caucasians and 3% - 8% of black/African Americans lack the capacity to metabolize CYP2D6 substrates and are classified as poor
metabolizers (PM), whereas the rest are intermediate, extensive or ultrarapid metabolizers. Coadministration of FANAPT with known strong inhibitors of
CYP2D6 like fluoxetine results in a 2.3- fold increase in iloperidone plasma exposure, and therefore one-half of the FANAPT dose should be administered.
Similarly, PMs of CYP2D6 have higher exposure to iloperidone compared with EMs and PMs should have their dose reduced by one-half. Laboratory tests are
available to identify CYP2D6 PMs.
The bulk of the radioactive materials were recovered in the urine (mean 58.2% and 45.1% in EM and PM, respectively), with feces accounting for 19.9% (EM) to
22.1% (PM) of the dosed radioactivity.

Clinical Studies 2.2 Adult Patients with Ph+ CML CP, AP, or BC
The recommended dose of Gleevec is 400 mg/day for adult patients in chronic phase CML and 600 mg/day for adult patients in accelerated phase or blast crisis.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
6.1 Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
The majority of Gleevec-treated patients experienced adverse reactions at some time. Gleevec was discontinued due to drug-related adverse reactions in 2.4%
of patients receiving Gleevec in the randomized trial of newly diagnosed patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase comparing Gleevec versus IFN+Ara-C, and in
12.5% of patients receiving Gleevec in the randomized trial of newly diagnosed patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase comparing Gleevec and nilotinib. (Seee
Table 3) (…)
6.2 Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Population
In combination with multi-agent chemotherapy
(…) Patients with Ph+ ALL (n=92) were assigned to receive Gleevec and treated in 5 successive cohorts. Gleevec exposure was systematically increased in
successive cohorts by earlier introduction and more prolonged duration.
The safety of Gleevec given in combination with intensive chemotherapy was evaluated by comparing the incidence of grade 3 and 4 adverse events,
neutropenia (less than 750/mcL) and thrombocytopenia (less than 75,000/mcL) in the 92 patients with Ph+ ALL compared to 65 patients with Ph- ALL enrolled
on the trial who did not receive Gleevec. The safety was also evaluated comparing the incidence of adverse events in cycles of therapy administered with or
without Gleevec. The protocol included up to 18 cycles of therapy. Patients were exposed to a cumulative total of 1425 cycles of therapy, 778 with Gleevec and
647 without Gleevec. The adverse events that were reported with a 5% or greater incidence in patients with Ph+ ALL compared to Ph- ALL or with a 1% or
greater incidence in cycles of therapy that included Gleevec are presented in Table 8. (See Table 8) (…)
6.4 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
The adverse reactions were similar for Ph+ ALL as for Ph+ CML. The most frequently reported drug-related adverse reactions reported in the Ph+ ALL studies
were mild nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, myalgia, muscle cramps and rash. Superficial edema was a common finding in all studies and were described
primarily as periorbital or lower limb edemas. These edemas were reported as Grade 3/4 events in 6.3% of the patients and may be managed with diuretics,
other supportive measures, or in some patients by reducing the dose of Gleevec.
6.7 Hypereosinophilic Syndrome and Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia
The safety profile in the HES/CEL patient population does not appear to be different from the safety profile of Gleevec observed in other hematologic malignancy
populations, such as Ph+ CML. All patients experienced at least one adverse reaction, the most common being gastrointestinal, cutaneous and musculoskeletal
disorders. Hematological abnormalities were also frequent, with instances of CTC Grade 3 leukopenia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, and anemia.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Pediatric Use
(…) Based on pooled population pharmacokinetic analysis in pediatric patients with hematological disorders (CML, Ph+ ALL, or other hematological disorders
treated with imatinib), clearance of imatinib increases with increasing body surface area (BSA). After correcting for the BSA effect, other demographics such as
age, body weight and body mass index did not have clinically significant effects on the exposure of imatinib. The analysis confirmed that exposure of imatinib in
pediatric patients receiving 260 mg/m2 once-daily (not exceeding 400 mg once-daily) or 340 mg/m2 once-daily (not exceeding 600 mg once-daily) were similar
to those in adult patients who received imatinib 400 mg or 600 mg once-daily.

14.1 Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Chronic Phase, Newly Diagnosed
An open-label, multicenter, international randomized Phase 3 study (Gleevec versus IFN+Ara-C) has been conducted in patients with newly diagnosed
Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase. (See Table 18) (…)
(…) An open-label, multicenter, randomized trial (Gleevec versus nilotinib) was conducted to determine the efficacy of Gleevec versus nilotinib in adult patients
with cytogenetically confirmed, newly diagnosed Ph+ CML-CP. Patients were within 6 months of diagnosis and were previously untreated for CML-CP, except
for hydroxyurea and/or anagrelide. (See Table 19) (…)
(…) Late Chronic Phase CML and Advanced Stage CML: Three international, open-label, single-arm phase 2 studies were conducted to determine the safety
and efficacy of Gleevec in patients with Ph+ CML: 1) in the chronic phase after failure of IFN therapy, 2) in accelerated phase disease, or 3) in myeloid blast
crisis. About 45% of patients were women and 6% were black. In clinical studies, 38%–40% of patients were ≥60 years of age and 10%–12% of patients were
≥70 years of age.
(…) Chronic Phase, Prior Interferon-Alpha Treatment: Effectiveness was evaluated on the basis of the rate of hematologic response and by bone marrow exams
to assess the rate of major cytogenetic response (up to 35% Ph+ metaphases) or complete cytogenetic response (0% Ph+ metaphases). (…)
14.2 Pediatric CML
One open-label, single-arm study enrolled 14 pediatric patients with Ph+ chronic phase CML recurrent after stem cell transplant or resistant to interferon-alpha
therapy. (…)
(…) In a second study, 2 of 3 patients with Ph+ chronic phase CML resistant to interferon-alpha therapy achieved a complete cytogenetic response at doses of
242 and 257 mg/m2/day.
14.3 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
A total of 48 Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) patients with relapsed/refractory disease were studied, 43 of whom
received the recommended Gleevec dose of 600 mg/day. In addition 2 patients with relapsed/refractory Ph+ ALL received Gleevec 600 mg/day in a phase 1
study.
Confirmed and unconfirmed hematologic and cytogenetic response rates for the 43 relapsed/refractory Ph+ALL phase 2 study patients and for the 2 phase 1
patients are shown in Table 21. The median duration of hematologic response was 3.4 months and the median duration of MCyR was 2.3 months. (See Table

Pediatric and young adult patients with very high risk ALL, defined as those with an expected 5-year event-free survival (EFS) less than 45%, were enrolled after
induction therapy on a multicenter, non-randomized cooperative group pilot protocol.
The safety and effectiveness of Gleevec (340 mg/m2/day) in combination with intensive chemotherapy was evaluated in a subgroup of patients with Ph+ ALL.
The protocol included intensive chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplant after 2 courses of chemotherapy for patients with an appropriate HLA-
matched family donor. There were 92 eligible patients with Ph+ ALL enrolled. (…)
(…) There were 50 patients with Ph+ ALL assigned to cohort 5 all of whom received Gleevec plus chemotherapy; 30 were treated exclusively with chemotherapy
and Gleevec and 20 received chemotherapy plus Gleevec and then underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplant, followed by further Gleevec treatment. (…)

Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH)
Study 3 (ORION-9, NCT03397121) was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled 18-month trial in which 482 patients with HeFH were
randomized 1:1 to receive subcutaneous injections of either LEQVIO 284 mg (n = 242) or placebo (n = 240) on Day 1, Day 90, Day 270, and at Day 450.
Patients with HeFH were taking a maximally tolerated dose of statin with or without other lipid modifying therapy, and required additional LDL-C reduction. The
diagnosis of HeFH was made either by genotyping or clinical criteria using either the Simon Broome or WHO/Dutch Lipid Network criteria. Patients were
stratified by country and by current use of statins or other lipid-modifying therapies. Patients taking PCSK9 inhibitors were excluded from the trial. (See Table 4

The efficacy of UPLIZNA for the treatment of NMOSD was established in Study 1 (NCT02200770), a randomized (3:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that
enrolled 213 patients with NMOSD who were anti-AQP4 antibody positive and 17 who were anti-AQP4 antibody negative. (…)
Of the 213 enrolled anti-AQP4 antibody positive patients, a total of 161 were randomized to receive treatment with UPLIZNA, and 52 were randomized to receive
placebo. (…)
The time to the first adjudicated relapse was significantly longer in patients treated with UPLIZNA compared to patients who received placebo (relative risk
reduction 73%; hazard ratio: 0.272; p < 0.0001). In the anti-AQP4 antibody positive population there was a 77.3% relative reduction (hazard ratio: 0.227, p <
0.0001). There was no evidence of a benefit in patients who were anti-AQP4 antibody negative. (See Table 4 and Figure 1)
Compared to placebo-treated patients, patients treated with UPLIZNA who were anti-AQP4 antibody positive had reduced annualized rates of hospitalizations
(0.11 for UPLIZNA versus 0.50 for placebo).

12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Elimination
Metabolism
Irinotecan is subject to extensive metabolic conversion by various enzyme systems, including esterases that form an active metabolite SN-38, and UGT1A1
which mediates the glucuronidation of SN-38 to form an inactive metabolite. SN-38 glucuronide had 1/50 to 1/100 the activity of SN-38. Patients who are
homozygous for either the UGT1A1*28 or *6 alleles, or who are compound heterozygous for these alleles, have higher SN-38 AUC than patients with the wild-
type UGT1A1 alleles [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.3), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.5)].
Irinotecan can also undergo CYP3A4-mediated oxidative metabolism to several inactive metabolites, one of which can be hydrolyzed by carboxylesterase to
release the active metabolite SN-38.
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
The active metabolite SN-38 is further metabolized via UGT1A1. Genetic variants of the UGT1A1 gene such as the UGT1A1*28 [(TA)7] and *6 alleles lead to
reduced UGT1A1 enzyme expression or activity and decreased function to a similar extent.
Individuals who are homozygous or compound (double) heterozygous for these alleles (e.g., *28/*28, *6/*6, *6/*28) are UGT1A1 poor metabolizers and are at
increased risk for severe or life-threatening neutropenia from CAMPTOSAR due to elevated systemic exposure to SN-38.
The UGT1A1*6/*6 genotype should not be confused with 6/6 genotype, which is sometimes used to represent the genotype of individuals who are wild type for
UGT1A1*28. Individuals who are heterozygous for either the UGT1A1*28 or *6 alleles (*1/*6, *1/*28) are UGT1A1 intermediate metabolizers and may also have
an increased risk of severe or life-threatening neutropenia [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.3), and Clinical Pharmacology
(12.3)].
Published studies have shown that individuals with UGT1A1*28 and *6 alleles may be at an increased risk of severe diarrhea. The risk evidence appears greater
in UGT1A1*28 and *6 homozygous patients and in those taking irinotecan doses > 125 mg/m2 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
UGT1A1*28 and *6 alleles occur at various frequencies in different populations. Approximately 20% of Black or African American, 10% of White, and 2% of East
Asian individuals are homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele. Approximately 2-6 % of East Asian individuals are homozygous for the UGT1A1*6 allele. The
UGT1A1*6 allele is uncommon in Black or African American or in White individuals. Decreased function alleles other than UGT1A1*28 and *6 may be present in
certain populations.

10/24/2014 Dinitrate Methemoglobinemia
Nitrate ions liberated during metabolism of isosorbide dinitrate can oxidize hemoglobin into methemoglobin. Even in patients totally without cytochrome b5
reductase activity, however, and even assuming that the nitrate moieties of isosorbide dinitrate are quantitatively applied to oxidation of hemoglobin, about 1
mg/kg of isosorbide dinitrate should be required before any of these patients manifests clinically significant (≥ 10%) methemoglobinemia. In patients with normal
reductase function, significant production of methemoglobin should require even larger doses of isosorbide dinitrate. In one study in which 36 patients received
2-4 weeks of continuous nitroglycerin therapy at 3.1 to 4.4 mg/hr (equivalent, in total administered dose of nitrate ions, to 4.8-6.9 mg of bioavailable isosorbide
dinitrate per hour), the average methemoglobin level measured was 0.2%; this was comparable to that observed in parallel patients who received placebo.
Notwithstanding these observations, there are case reports of significant methemoglobinemia in association with moderate overdoses of organic nitrates. None
of the affected patients had been thought to be unusually susceptible. Methemoglobin levels are available from most clinical laboratories. The diagnosis should
be suspected in patients who exhibit signs of impaired oxygen delivery despite adequate cardiac output and adequate arterial pO2. Classically,
methemoglobinemic blood is described as chocolate brown, without color change on exposure to air. When methemoglobinemia is diagnosed, the treatment of

12.1 Mechanism of Action
CFTR Chloride Transport Assay in Fisher Rat Thyroid (FRT) cells expressing mutant CFTR
In order to evaluate the response of mutant CFTR protein to ivacaftor, total chloride transport was determined in Ussing chamber electrophysiology studies using
a panel of FRT cell lines transfected with individual CFTR mutations. Ivacaftor increased chloride transport in FRT cells expressing CFTR mutations that result in
CFTR protein being delivered to the cell surface.
Data shown in Figure 1 are the mean (n=3-7) net change over baseline in CFTR mediated chloride transport following the addition of ivacaftor in FRT cells
expressing mutant CFTR proteins. The in vitro CFTR chloride response threshold was designated as a net increase of at least 10% of normal over baseline
(dotted line) because it is predictive or reasonably expected to predict clinical benefit. Mutations with an increase in chloride transport of 10% or greater are
considered responsive. A patient must have at least one CFTR mutation responsive to ivacaftor to be indicated.
Mutations including F508del that are not responsive to ivacaftor potentiation, based on the in vitro CFTR chloride response threshold, are listed in Figure 1
below the dotted line. (see Figure 1)
Note that splice mutations cannot be studied in this FRT assay and are not included in Figure 1. Evidence of clinical efficacy exists for non-canonical splice
mutations 2789+5G→A, 3272-26A→G, 3849+10kbC→T, 711+3A→G and E831X and these are listed in Table 3 below [see also Clinical Studies (14.4)]. The
G970R mutation causes a splicing defect resulting in little-to-no CFTR protein at the cell surface that can be potentiated by ivacaftor [see Clinical Studies (14.2)].
Ivacaftor also increased chloride transport in cultured human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells derived from CF patients who carried F508del on one CFTR allele
and either G551D or R117H-5T on the second CFTR allele.
Table 3 lists mutations that are responsive to ivacaftor based on 1) a positive clinical response and/or 2) in vitro data in FRT cells indicating that ivacaftor
increases chloride transport to at least 10% over baseline (% of normal). (see Table 3)
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Sweat Chloride Evaluation
Changes in sweat chloride (a biomarker) response to KALYDECO were evaluated in seven clinical trials [see Clinical Studies (14)]. In a two-part, randomized,
double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial in patients with CF who had a G1244E, G1349D, G178R, G551S, G970R, S1251N, S1255P, S549N, or
S549R mutation in the CFTR gene (Trial 4), the treatment difference in mean change in sweat chloride from baseline through 8 weeks of treatment was -49
mmol/L (95% CI -57, -41). The mean changes in sweat chloride for the mutations for which KALYDECO is indicated ranged from -51 to -8, whereas the range for
individual subjects with the G970R mutation was -1 to -11 mmol/L. In an open-label clinical trial in 34 patients ages 2 to less than 6 years administered either 50
mg or 75 mg of ivacaftor twice daily (Trial 6), the mean absolute change from baseline in sweat chloride through 24 weeks of treatment was -45 mmol/L (95% CI

The overall safety profile of ORKAMBI is based on the pooled data from 1108 patients with CF 12 years and older who are homozygous for the F508del
mutation in the CFTR gene and who received at least one dose of study drug in 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 clinical trials, each with 24 weeks of
treatment (Trials 1 and 2).
In addition, the following clinical trials have been conducted:
• A 24-week open-label trial (Trial 3) in 58 patients with CF aged 6 through 11 years homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation.
• A 24-week, placebo-controlled trial (Trial 4) in 204 patients aged 6 through 11 years homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation.

Dose Ranging:
Dose selection for the clinical program primarily consisted of one double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-cohort trial which included 176 patients with CF
(homozygous for the F508del mutation) 18 years of age and older with a screening ppFEV1≥40. In the study, 34 and 106 patients, respectively, received
tezacaftor at once-daily doses of 10 mg, 30 mg, 100 mg, or 150 mg alone or in combination with ivacaftor 150 mg q12h, and 33 patients received placebo.
During the 28-day treatment period, dose-dependent increases in mean ppFEV1 change from baseline were observed with tezacaftor in combination with
ivacaftor. Tezacaftor/ivacaftor in general had a greater mean treatment effect than tezacaftor alone. No additional benefit was observed at tezacaftor doses
greater than 100 mg daily.
Efficacy:
The efficacy of SYMDEKO in patients with CF aged 12 years and older was evaluated in three Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (Trials1, 2, and
3).
Trial 1 was a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm study in CF patients who were homozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR
gene.
Trial 2 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-period, 3-treatment, 8-week crossover study in CF patients who were heterozygous for the
F508del mutation and a second mutation predicted to be responsive to tezacaftor/ivacaftor. Mutations predicted to be responsive were selected for the study
based on the clinical phenotype (pancreatic sufficiency), biomarker data (sweat chloride), and in vitro responsiveness to tezacaftor/ivacaftor [see Clinical Studies

(…) Clinical Studies Describing Limitation of Use: In two randomized trials, TYKERB based chemotherapy regimens have been shown to be less effective than
trastuzumab-based chemotherapy regimens. The first randomized, open-label study compared the safety and efficacy of TYKERB in combination with
capecitabine relative to trastuzumab in combination with capecitabine in women with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (N = 540). (…)
(…) The second randomized, open-label study compared the safety and efficacy of taxane-based chemotherapy plus TYKERB to taxane-based chemotherapy
plus trastuzumab as first-line therapy in women with HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer (N = 652). (…)
14.2 Hormone Receptor-Positive, HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
The efficacy and safety of TYKERB in combination with letrozole were evaluated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study. A total of 1,286
postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (ER positive and/or PgR positive) metastatic breast cancer, who had not received prior therapy for
metastatic disease, were randomly assigned to receive either TYKERB (1,500 mg once daily) plus letrozole (2.5 mg once daily) (n = 642) or letrozole (2.5 mg
once daily) alone (n = 644). Of all patients randomized to treatment, 219 (17%) patients had tumors overexpressing the HER2 receptor, defined as fluorescence
in situ hybridization (FISH) ≥2 or 3+ immunohistochemistry (IHC). There were 952 (74%) patients who were HER2 negative and 115 (9%) patients did not have
their HER2 receptor status confirmed. The primary objective was to evaluate and compare progression-free survival (PFS) in the HER2-positive population.
Progression-free survival was defined as the interval of time between date of randomization and the earlier date of first documented sign of disease progression
or death due to any cause.
The baseline demographic and disease characteristics were balanced between the two treatment arms. The median age was 63 years and 45% were 65 years
of age or older. Eighty-four percent (84%) of the patients were white. Approximately 50% of the HER2-positive population had prior adjuvant/neo-adjuvant
chemotherapy and 56% had prior hormonal therapy. Only 2 patients had prior trastuzumab.
In the HER2-positive subgroup (n = 219), the addition of TYKERB to letrozole resulted in an improvement in PFS. In the HER2-negative subgroup, there was no
improvement in PFS of the combination of TYKERB plus letrozole compared to the letrozole plus placebo. Overall response rate (ORR) was also improved with
the combination of TYKERB plus letrozole. The overall survival (OS) data were not mature. Efficacy analyses for the hormone receptor-positive, HER2-positive
and HER2-negative subgroups are presented in Table 8 and Figure 3. (See Table 8 and Figure 3)
The efficacy and safety of TYKERB, in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (AI), were confirmed in another randomized Phase 3 trial. Patients enrolled were
post-menopausal women who had hormone receptorpositive (HR+)/HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer, which had progressed after prior
trastuzumabcontaining chemotherapy and endocrine therapies. (…)
The study was designed to evaluate a potential benefit in Progression Free Survival (PFS) when double versus single HER2 targeted therapy was administered
in combination with an AI (letrozole, exemestane, or anastrozole). The major efficacy outcome measure was PFS based on local radiology/investigator’s
assessment comparing TYKERB + trastuzumab + AI versus trastuzumab + AI. (…)

Specific 2.1 Recommended Dosing
Populations, Hormone Receptor-Positive, HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
Clinical Studies The recommended dose of TYKERB is 1,500 mg given orally once daily continuously in combination with letrozole. When coadministered with TYKERB, the
recommended dose of letrozole is 2.5 mg once daily. TYKERB should be taken at least one hour before or one hour after a meal. The dose of TYKERB should
be once daily (6 tablets administered all at once); dividing the daily dose is not recommended [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
2.2 Dose Modification Guidelines
Hepatic Impairment
Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) should have their dose of TYKERB reduced. A dose reduction from 1,250 mg/day to 750 mg/day
(HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer indication) or from 1,500 mg/day to 1,000 mg/day (hormone receptor-positive, HER2-positive breast cancer indication)
in patients with severe hepatic impairment is predicted to adjust the area under the curve (AUC) to the normal range and should be considered. However, there
are no clinical data with this dose adjustment in patients with severe hepatic impairment.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
One single-arm, open-label, 78-week trial has been conducted in 29 patients with HoFH, 23 of whom completed at least one year of treatment. The initial dosage
of JUXTAPID was 5 mg daily, with titration up to 60 mg daily during an 18-week period based on safety and tolerability. In this trial, the mean age was 30.7 years
(range, 18 to 55 years), 16 (55%) patients were men, 25 (86%) patients were Caucasian, 2 (7%) were Asian, 1 (3%) was African American, and 1 (3%) was
multi-racial [see Clinical Studies (14)].
Five (17%) of the 29 patients with HoFH that participated in the clinical trial discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction. The adverse reactions that
contributed to treatment discontinuations included diarrhea (2 patients; 7%) and abdominal pain, nausea, gastroenteritis, weight loss, headache, and difficulty
controlling INR on warfarin (1 patient each; 3%).
The most common adverse reactions were gastrointestinal, reported by 27 (93%) of 29 patients. Adverse reactions reported by ≥8 (28%) patients in the HoFH
clinical trial included diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain. Other common adverse reactions, reported by 5 to 7 (17-24%) patients,
included weight loss, abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension, constipation, flatulence, increased ALT, chest pain, influenza, nasopharyngitis, and fatigue.
The adverse reactions reported in at least 10% of patients during the HoFH clinical trial are presented in Table 4.
Adverse reactions of severe intensity were reported by 8 (28%) of 29 patients, with the most common being diarrhea (4 patients, 14%), vomiting (3 patients,

Transaminase Elevations
During the HoFH clinical trial, 10 (34%) of 29 patients had at least one elevation in ALT and/or AST ≥3x ULN (see Table 5). No clinically meaningful elevations in
total bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase were observed. Transaminases typically fell within one to four weeks of reducing the dose or withholding JUXTAPID.
Among the 19 patients who enrolled in an extension study following the HoFH clinical trial, one discontinued because of increased transaminases that persisted
despite several dose reductions, and one temporarily discontinued because of markedly elevated transaminases (ALT 24x ULN, AST 13x ULN) that had several
possible causes, including a drug-drug interaction between JUXTAPID and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor clarithromycin [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

6.1 Clinical Trial Experience
The safety profile of ZOKINVY is based on 128 patient-years of treatment exposure (62 patients with HGPS and 1 patient with processing-deficient Progeroid
Laminopathy with LMNA heterozygous mutation) and pooled results from two Phase 2 open-label, single-arm trials (n=63: 28 patients from Study 1 and 35
treatment naïve patients from Study 2). (…)
In these two studies, a total of 63 patients received ZOKINVY for a median duration of 2.2 years, with approximately 1.9 years at the recommended dose of 150
mg/m2 twice daily. The population was 2 to 17 years old, with a similar proportion of males (33 [52%] patients) and females (30 [48%] patients). Most patients
had classic HGPS (60 [95%] patients) compared to non-classic HGPS (2 [3%] patients) and 1 (2%) patient had Progeroid Laminopathy with LMNA heterozygous
mutation. (…)
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of ZOKINVY is based on results from the Observational Cohort Survival Study, which retrospectively compared survival data from two Phase 2
studies in patients with HGPS to those from a natural history cohort. Study 1 (NCT00425607) was a Phase 2 open-label, single-arm trial that evaluated the
efficacy of ZOKINVY in 28 patients (26 with classic HGPS, one with non-classic HGPS, and one with processing-deficient Progeroid Laminopathy with LMNA
heterozygous mutation with progerinlike protein accumulation). (…)

Elimination
Mavacamten has a variable terminal t1/2 that depends on CYP2C19 metabolic status. Mavacamten terminal half-life is 6-9 days in CYP2C19 normal
metabolizers (NMs), which is prolonged in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers (PMs) to 23 days. Drug accumulation occurs with an accumulation ratio of about 2-fold
for Cmax and about 7-fold for AUC in CYP2C19 NMs. The accumulation depends on the metabolism status for CYP2C19 with the largest accumulation
observed in CYP2C19 PMs. At steady-state, the peak-to-trough plasma concentration ratio with once daily dosing is approximately 1.5.

Pharmacology status and marrow cellularity. Evaluate thiopurine Smethyltransferase (TPMT) and nucleotide diphosphatase (NUDT15) status in patients with clinical or

2.2 Dosage in Patients with TPMT and/or NUDT15 Deficiency
Consider testing for TPMT and NUDT15 deficiency in patients who experience severe bone marrow toxicities or repeated episodes of myelosuppression [see
Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.5)].
Homozygous deficiency in either TPMT or NUDT15
Patients with homozygous deficiency of either enzyme typically require 10% or less of the standard PURIXAN dosage. Reduce initial dosage in patients who are
known to have homozygous TPMT or NUDT15 deficiency.
Heterozygous deficiency in TPMT and/or NUDT15
Reduce the PURIXAN dosage based on tolerability. Most patients with heterozygous TPMT or NUDT15 deficiency tolerate recommended mercaptopurine
doses, but some require dose reduction based on toxicities. Patients who are heterozygous for both TPMT and NUDT15 may require more substantial dosage
reductions.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
Several published studies indicate that patients with reduced TPMT or NUDT15 activity receiving usual doses of mercaptopurine, accumulate excessive cellular
concentrations of active 6-TGNs, and are at higher risk for severe myelosuppression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. In a study of 1028 children with ALL,
the approximate tolerated mercaptopurine dosage range for patients with TPMT and/or NUDT15 deficiency on mercaptopurine maintenance therapy (as a
percentage of the planned dosage) was as follows: heterozygous for either TPMT or NUDT15, 50-90%; heterozygous for both TPMT and NUDT15, 30-50%;
homozygous for either TPMT or NUDT15, 5-10%. Approximately 0.3% (1:300) of patients of European or African ancestry have two loss-of-function alleles of the
TPMT gene and have little or no TMPT activity (homozygous deficient or poor metabolizers), and approximately 10% of patients have one loss-of-function TPMT
allele leading to intermediate TPMT activity (heterozygous deficient or intermediate metabolizers). The TPMT*2, TPMT*3A, and TPMT*3C alleles account for
about 95% of individuals with reduced levels of TPMT activity. NUDT15 deficiency is detected in <1% of patients of European or African ancestry. Among
patients of East Asian ancestry (i.e., Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese), 2% have two loss-of-function alleles of the NUDT15 gene, and approximately 21% have
one loss-of-function allele. The p.R139C variant of NUDT15 (present on the *2 and *3 alleles) is the most commonly observed, but other less common loss-of-
function NUDT15 alleles have been observed.
Consider all clinical information when interpreting results from phenotypic testing used to determine the level of thiopurine nucleotides or TPMT activity in
erythrocytes, since some coadministered drugs can influence measurement of TPMT activity in blood, and blood from recent transfusions will misrepresent a
patient’s actual TPMT activity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Metabolism: Metoclopramide undergoes enzymatic metabolism via oxidation as well as glucuronide and sulfate conjugation reactions in the liver.
Monodeethylmetoclopramide, a major oxidative metabolite, is formed primarily by CYP2D6, an enzyme subject to genetic variability [see Dosage and

Drug Interactions CYP2D6
Metoprolol is metabolized predominantly by CYP2D6. In healthy subjects with CYP2D6 extensive metabolizer phenotype, coadministration of quinidine 100 mg,
a potent CYP2D6 inhibitor, and immediate-release metoprolol 200 mg tripled the concentration of S-metoprolol and doubled the metoprolol elimination half-life.
In four patients with cardiovascular disease, coadministration of propafenone 150 mg t.i.d. with immediaterelease metoprolol 50 mg t.i.d. resulted in steady-state
concentration of metoprolol 2- to 5-fold what is seen with metoprolol alone. Extensive metabolizers who concomitantly use CYP2D6 inhibiting drugs will have
increased (several-fold) metoprolol blood levels, decreasing metoprolol's cardioselectivity [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
CYP2D6 is absent in about 8% of Caucasians (poor metabolizers) and about 2% of most other populations. CYP2D6 can be inhibited by several drugs. Poor
metabolizers of CYP2D6 will have increased (several-fold) metoprolol blood levels, decreasing metoprolol's cardioselectivity.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1 Mechanism of Action
In Vitro Amenability Assay
In an in vitro assay (HEK-293 assay), Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK-293) cell lines were transfected with specific GLA variants (mutations) which produced
mutant alpha-Gal A proteins. In the transfected cells, amenability of the GLA variants was assessed after a 5-day incubation with 10 micromol/L migalastat. A
GLA variant was categorized as amenable if the resultant mutant alpha-Gal A activity (measured in the cell lysates) met two criteria: 1) it showed a relative
increase of at least 20% compared to the pre-treatment alpha-Gal A activity, and 2) it showed an absolute increase of at least 3% of the wild-type (normal)
alpha-Gal A activity.
The in vitro assay did not evaluate trafficking of the mutant alpha-Gal A proteins into the lysosome or the dissociation of migalastat from the mutant alpha-Gal A
proteins within the lysosome. Also, the in vitro assay did not test whether a GLA variant causes Fabry disease or not.
The GLA variants which are amenable to treatment with GALAFOLD, based on the in vitro assay data, are shown in Table 2. Inclusion of GLA variants in this
table does not reflect interpretation of their clinical significance in Fabry disease. Whether a certain amenable GLA variant in a patient with Fabry disease is
disease-causing or not should be determined by the prescribing physician (in consultation with a clinical genetics professional, if needed) prior to treatment
initiation. Consultation with a clinical genetics professional is strongly recommended in cases where the amenable GLA variant is of uncertain clinical
significance (VUS, variant of uncertain significance) or may be benign (not causing Fabry disease). (See Table 2)
If a GLA variant does not appear in Table 2, it is either non-amenable (if tested) or has not been tested for in vitro amenability. For further information, please
contact Amicus Medical Information at 1-877-4AMICUS or medinfousa@amicusrx.com.

202611, Mirabegron Urology CYP2D6 Clinical 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
04/27/2018 Pharmacology 12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism
Mirabegron is metabolized via multiple pathways involving dealkylation, oxidation, (direct) glucuronidation, and amide hydrolysis. Mirabegron is the major
circulating component following a single dose of 14C-mirabegron. Two major metabolites were observed in human plasma and are phase 2 glucuronides
representing 16% and 11% of total exposure, respectively. These metabolites are not pharmacologically active toward beta-3 adrenergic receptor. Although in
vitro studies suggest a role for CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 in the oxidative metabolism of mirabegron, in vivo results indicate that these isozymes play a limited role in
the overall elimination. In healthy subjects who are genotypically poor metabolizers of CYP2D6, mean Cmax and AUCtau were approximately 16% and 17%
higher than in extensive metabolizers of CYP2D6, respectively. In vitro and ex vivo studies have shown the involvement of butylcholinesterase, uridine
diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) and possibly alcohol dehydrogenase in the metabolism of mirabegron, in addition to CYP3A4 and CYP2D6.

PRECAUTIONS
Reduced Plasma Cholinesterase Activity
The possibility of prolonged neuromuscular block following administration of MIVACRON must be considered in patients with reduced plasma cholinesterase
(pseudocholinesterase) activity.
Plasma cholinesterase activity may be diminished in the presence of genetic abnormalities of plasma cholinesterase (e.g., patients heterozygous or homozygous
for the atypical plasma cholinesterase gene), pregnancy, liver or kidney disease, malignant tumors, infections, burns, anemia, decompensated heart disease,
peptic ulcer, or myxedema. Plasma cholinesterase activity may also be diminished by chronic administration of oral contraceptives, glucocorticoids, or certain
monoamine oxidase inhibitors and by irreversible inhibitors of plasma cholinesterase (e.g., organophosphate insecticides, echothiophate, and certain
antineoplastic drugs).
MIVACRON has been used safely in patients heterozygous for the atypical plasma cholinesterase gene. At doses of 0.1 to 0.2 mg/kg MIVACRON, the clinically
effective duration of action was 8 minutes to 11 minutes longer in patients heterozygous for the atypical gene than in genotypically normal patients.
As with succinylcholine, patients homozygous for the atypical plasma cholinesterase gene (one in 2500 patients) are extremely sensitive to the neuromuscular
blocking effect of MIVACRON. In three such adult patients, a small dose of 0.03 mg/kg (approximately the ED10-20 in genotypically normal patients) produced
complete neuromuscular block for 26 to 128 minutes. Once spontaneous recovery had begun, neuromuscular block in these patients was antagonized with
conventional doses of neostigmine. One adult patient, who was homozygous for the atypical plasma cholinesterase gene, received a dose of 0.18 mg/kg
MIVACRON and exhibited complete neuromuscular block for about 4 hours. Response to post-tetanic stimulation was present after 4 hours, all four responses
to train-of-four stimulation were present after 6 hours, and the patient was extubated after 8 hours. Reversal was not attempted in this patient.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Pharmacodynamics
Administration of MIVACRON over 30 to 60 seconds does not alter the time to maximum neuromuscular block or the duration of action. The duration of action of
MIVACRON may be prolonged in patients with reduced plasma cholinesterase (pseudocholinesterase) activity (see PRECAUTIONS - Reduced Plasma
Cholinesterase Activity and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY - Individualization of Dosages subsection).
Individualization of Dosages
Reduced Plasma Cholinesterase Activity
The possibility of prolonged neuromuscular block following administration of MIVACRON must be considered in patients with reduced plasma cholinesterase
(pseudocholinesterase) activity. MIVACRON should be used with great caution, if at all, in patients known or suspected of being homozygous for the atypical
plasma cholinesterase gene (see WARNINGS). Doses of 0.03 mg/kg produced complete neuromuscular block for 26 to 128 minutes in three such patients; thus
initial doses greater than 0.03 mg/kg are not recommended in homozygous patients. Infusions of MIVACRON are not recommended in homozygous patients.
MIVACRON has been used safely in patients heterozygous for the atypical plasma cholinesterase gene and in genotypically normal patients with reduced
plasma cholinesterase activity. After an initial dose of 0.15 mg/kg MIVACRON, the clinically effective duration of block in heterozygous patients may be

12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Nebivolol is metabolized by a number of routes, including glucuronidation and hydroxylation by CYP2D6. The active isomer (d-nebivolol) has an effective half-life
of about 12 hours in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (most people), and 19 hours in poor metabolizers and exposure to d-nebivolol is substantially increased in
poor metabolizers. This has less importance than usual, however, because the metabolites, including the hydroxyl metabolite and glucuronides (the predominant
circulating metabolites), contribute to β-blocking activity.
Plasma levels of d–nebivolol increase in proportion to dose in EMs and PMs for doses up to 20mg. Exposure to l-nebivolol is higher than to d-nebivolol but l-
nebivolol contributes little to the drug’s activity as d-nebivolol’s beta receptor affinity is > 1000-fold higher than l-nebivolol. For the same dose, PMs attain a 5-fold
higher Cmax and 10-fold higher AUC of d-nebivolol than do EMs. d-Nebivolol accumulates about 1.5-fold with repeated once-daily dosing in EMs.

Pharmacology, Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared
Clinical Studies to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of RIVFLOZA has been evaluated in one placebo-controlled clinical trial (PHYOX2) and one open-label extension study (PHYOX3). Across these
studies, 29 adults and 12 children with PH1 have been treated with RIVFLOZA. Patients with PH1 in these studies ranged in age from 9 to 46 years at first dose.
The median duration of exposure was approximately 15 months (range 1-29 months). Overall, 38 patients with PH1 were treated for at least 6 months, 24
patients for at least 12 months, and 16 patients for at least 18 months.
In the randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind PHYOX2 trial in pediatric and adult patients 9 to 46 years of age, 18 patients with PH1 received RIVFLOZA
and 11 patients received placebo. Of the 18 patients treated with RIVFLOZA, 17 patients received ≥ 5 months of active treatment. The most common adverse
reaction was injection site reactions, which were reported in 7 patients with PH1 (39%) on RIVFLOZA as compared to no patients on placebo.
Injection site reactions included erythema, pain, bruising, and rash and were generally mild and did not lead to discontinuation of treatment. In the single-arm
extension study (PHYOX3) that included 40 patients with PH1, additional injection site reactions included atrophy in 1 patient (3%).

14.1 Adult Newly Diagnosed Ph+ CML-CP
The ENESTnd (Evaluating Nilotinib Efficacy and Safety in clinical Trials-Newly Diagnosed patients) study (NCT00471497) was an open-label, multicenter,
randomized trial conducted to determine the efficacy of Tasigna versus imatinib tablets in adult patients with cytogenetically confirmed newly diagnosed Ph+
CML-CP. Patients were within 6 months of diagnosis and were previously untreated for CML-CP, except for hydroxyurea and/or anagrelide. Efficacy was based
on a total of 846 patients: 283 patients in the imatinib 400 mg once daily group, 282 patients in the Tasigna 300 mg twice daily group, 281 patients in the
Tasigna 400 mg twice daily group. (…)
The primary efficacy endpoint was major molecular response (MMR) at 12 months after the start of study medication. MMR was defined as less than or equal to
0.1% BCR-ABL/ABL % by international scale measured by RQ-PCR, which corresponds to a greater than or equal to 3 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcript from
standardized baseline. Efficacy endpoints are summarized in Table 12. (See Table 12) (…)
14.2 Adult Patients with Resistant or Intolerant Ph+ CML-CP and CML-AP
Study CAMN107A2101 (referred to as Study A2101) (NCT00109707) was a single-arm, open-label, multicenter study conducted to evaluate the efficacy and
safety of Tasigna (400 mg twice daily) in patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML with separate cohorts for chronic and accelerated phase disease. The
definition of imatinib resistance included failure to achieve a complete hematologic response (by 3 months), cytogenetic response (by 6 months) or major
cytogenetic response (by 12 months) or progression of disease after a previous cytogenetic or hematologic response. Imatinib intolerance was defined as
discontinuation of treatment due to toxicity and lack of a major cytogenetic response at time of study entry. At the time of data cutoff, 321 patients with CML-CP
and 137 patients with CML-AP with a minimum follow-up of 24 months were enrolled. In this study, about 50% of CML-CP and CML-AP patients were males,
over 90% (CML-CP) and 80% (CML-AP) were Caucasian, and approximately 30% were age 65 years or older.
14.3 Treatment discontinuation in newly diagnosed Ph+ CML-CP patients who have achieved a sustained molecular response (MR4.5)
The ENESTfreedom (Evaluating Nilotinib Efficacy and Safety in clinical Trials-freedom) study (NCT01784068) is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm study,
where 215 adult patients with Ph+ CML-CP treated with Tasigna in first-line for ≥ 2 years who achieved MR4.5 as measured with the MolecularMD MRDx™
BCR-ABL Test were enrolled to continue Tasigna treatment for an additional 52 weeks (Tasigna consolidation phase).
Of the 215 patients, 190 patients (88.4%) entered the “Treatment-free Remission” (TFR) phase after achieving a sustained molecular response (MR4.5) during
the consolidation phase, defined by the following criteria:
• The 4 last quarterly assessments (taken every 12 weeks) were at least MR4 (BCR-ABL/ABL ≤ 0.01% IS), and maintained for 1 year
• The last assessment being MR4.5 (BCR-ABL/ABL ≤ 0.0032% IS)
• No more than two assessments falling between MR4 and MR4.5 (0.0032% IS < BCR-ABL/ABL ≤ 0.01% IS).
The median age of patients who entered the TFR phase was 55 years, 49.5% were females, and 21.1% of the patients were ≥ 65 years of age. BCR-ABL levels
were monitored every 4 weeks during the first 48 weeks of the TFR phase. Monitoring frequency was intensified to every 2 weeks upon the loss of MR4.0.
Biweekly monitoring ended at one of the following time points:
• Loss of MMR requiring patient to reinitiate Tasigna treatment
• When the BCR-ABL levels returned to a range between MR4.0 and MR4.5
• When the BCR-ABL levels remained lower than MMR for 4 consecutive measurements (8 weeks from initial loss of MR4.0).
14.4 Treatment discontinuation in Ph+ CML-CP patients who have achieved a sustained molecular response (MR4.5) on Tasigna following prior
imatinib therapy
The ENESTop (Evaluating Nilotinib Efficacy and Safety in clinical Trials-STop) study (NCT01698905) is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm study, where 163
adult patients with Ph+ CML-CP taking tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for ≥ 3 years (imatinib as initial TKI therapy for more than 4 weeks without documented
MR4.5 on imatinib at the time of switch to Tasigna, then switched to Tasigna for at least 2 years), and who achieved MR4.5 on Tasigna treatment as measured
with the MolecularMD MRDx ™ BCR-ABL Test were enrolled to continue Tasigna treatment for an additional 52 weeks (Tasigna consolidation phase). Of the
163 patients, 126 patients (77.3%) entered the TFR phase after achieving a sustained molecular response (MR4.5) during the consolidation phase, defined by
the following criterion:
• The 4 last quarterly assessments (taken every 12 weeks) showed no confirmed loss of MR4.5 (BCR-ABL/ABL ≤ 0.0032% IS) during 1 year.
(…) Patients who entered the TFR phase but experienced two consecutive measurements of BCR-ABL/ABL > 0.01% IS were considered having a confirmed
loss of MR4.0, triggering reinitiation of Tasigna treatment. Patients with loss of MMR in the TFR phase immediately restarted Tasigna treatment without
confirmation. All patients who restarted Tasigna therapy had BCR-ABL transcript levels monitored every 4 weeks for the first 24 weeks, then once every 12
weeks. (…)

PFIC is a heterogenous disease caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous variants, with different PFIC subtypes occurring in the general population.
PFIC2 is the most common subtype accounting for 37-90% of PFIC patients. PFIC1 is caused by variants in the ATP8B1 gene, which encodes the Familial
Intrahepatic Cholestasis 1 (FIC1) protein, while PFIC2 results from variants in the ABCB11 gene, which encodes the Bile Salt Export Pump (BSEP) protein.
PFIC2 patients are further categorized into BSEP subgroups based on their specific variants. The BSEP-1 subgroup includes patients with at least one p.D482G

twice daily versus a comparator arm of investigator’s choice of enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
(mCRPC). All patients received a GnRH analog or had prior bilateral orchiectomy. Patients needed to have progressed on prior enzalutamide or abiraterone for
the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer and/or CRPC and have a tumor mutation in one of 15 genes involved in the homologous recombination repair (HRR)
pathway.
Patients were divided into two cohorts based on HRR gene mutation status. Patients with mutations in either BRCA1, BRCA2, or ATM were randomized in
Cohort A; patients with mutations among 12 other genes involved in the HRR pathway (BARD1, BRIP1, CDK12, CHEK1, CHEK2, FANCL, PALB2, PPP2R2A,
RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, or RAD54L) were randomized in Cohort B; patients with comutations (BRCA1, BRCA2, or ATM plus a Cohort B gene) were
assigned to Cohort A. Although patients with PPP2R2A gene mutations were enrolled in the trial, Lynparza is not indicated for the treatment of patients with this
gene mutation due to unfavorable risk-benefit. (…)

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Drug Interaction Studies
In vitro studies suggest that oliceridine is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 P450 hepatic enzymes, with minor contributions from CYP2C9 and
CYP2C19. Inhibition studies using selective inhibitors of all the major CYP enzymes show that only the inhibition of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 significantly affects
the metabolism of oliceridine in these assays, suggesting that the contribution of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 to the metabolism of oliceridine is minor.
The effect of concomitant administration of a CYP2D6 inhibitor on the pharmacokinetics of OLINVYK, although not studied, may be similar to that noted in
subjects who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. The plasma clearance of oliceridine in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers is approximately 50% of plasma clearance in
subjects who are nonpoor CYP2D6 metabolizers [See Pharmacogenomics (12.5)].
In healthy subjects CYP2D6 poor metabolizers (n=4) given a single 0.25 mg dose of OLINVYK after 5 days of itraconazole 200 mg QD (a strong CYP3A4
inhibitor), the total exposure (AUC) of OLINVYK was increased by approximately 80%; however, the peak concentration was not significantly affected [See
Pharmacogenomics 12.5]. The mean clearance of oliceridine was reduced to approximately 30% of that observed in nonpoor metabolizers of CYP2D6 [see
Drug Interactions (7)].
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
Oliceridine is metabolized by polymorphic enzyme CYP2D6. CYP2D6 poor metabolizers have little to no enzyme activity. Approximately 3 to 10% of Whites, 2
to 7% of African Americans, and <2% of Asians, generally lack the capacity to metabolize CYP2D6 substrates and are classified as poor metabolizers.
In healthy subjects who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, the AUC0‐inf of oliceridine was approximately 2-fold higher than in subjects who are nonpoor CYP2D6
metabolizers. [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6), Use in Specific Populations (8.8)].

CYP2C19, a polymorphic enzyme, is involved in the metabolism of omeprazole. The CYP2C19*1 allele is fully functional while the CYP2C19*2 and *3 alleles are
nonfunctional. There are other alleles associated with no or reduced enzymatic function. Patients carrying two fully functional alleles are extensive metabolizers
and those carrying two loss-of-function alleles are poor metabolizers. In extensive metabolizers, omeprazole is primarily metabolized by CYP2C19. The systemic
exposure to omeprazole varies with a patient’s metabolism status: poor metabolizers > intermediate metabolizers > extensive metabolizers. Approximately 3% of
Caucasians and 15 to 20% of Asians are CYP2C19 poor metabolizers.
In a pharmacokinetic study of single 20 mg omeprazole dose, the AUC of omeprazole in Asian subjects was approximately four-fold of that in Caucasians [see
Dosage and Administration (2.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].

Exploratory Analysis of OS
An exploratory analysis of OS with updated information based on events in 82% of patients with wild-type KRAS mCRC estimated the treatment effect of
Vectibix plus FOLFOX compared with FOLFOX alone on OS (Figure 3). Median OS among 325 patients with wild-type KRAS mCRC who received Vectibix plus

0.70, 0.98). (See Figure 3)
Retrospective exploratory analyses in the RAS wild-type subgroup
Among the 656 patients with wild-type KRAS exon 2 mCRC, RAS mutation status was assessed for 620 patients using Sanger bidirectional sequencing and
Surveyor®/WAVE® analysis. Of these 620 patients, approximately 17% of patients (n = 104) tumors harbored mutations in KRAS exons 3 or 4 or in NRAS
exons 2, 3, and 4.
Retrospective subset analyses were then conducted among the subset of patients without RAS mutations (n = 512) as described above.
In the wild-type RAS subgroup, 65% of patients were men and 91% were White, 2% Black, and 5% Hispanic or Latino. Sixty-five percent of patients had colon
cancer and 35% had rectal cancer. ECOG performance was 0 in 57% of patients, 1 in 37% of patients, and 2 in 6% of patients. Median age was 61 years. (See

Among the 153 patients with MSI-H or dMMR CRC enrolled in KEYNOTE-177 [see Clinical Studies (14.9)] treated with KEYTRUDA, the median duration of
exposure to KEYTRUDA was 11.1 months (range: 1 day to 30.6 months). Patients with autoimmune disease or a medical condition that required
immunosuppression were ineligible. Adverse reactions occurring in patients with MSI-H or dMMR CRC were similar to those occurring in 2799 patients with
melanoma or NSCLC treated with KEYTRUDA as a single agent.
Endometrial Carcinoma
The safety of KEYTRUDA in combination with lenvatinib was investigated in KEYNOTE-775, a multicenter, open-label, randomized (1:1), active-controlled trial in
patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma previously treated with at least one prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen in any setting, including in the
neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings [see Clinical Studies (14.15)]. Patients with endometrial carcinoma that is not MSI-H or dMMR received KEYTRUDA 200 mg
every 3 weeks in combination with lenvatinib 20mg orally once daily (n=342) or received doxorubicin or paclitaxel (n=325).
For patients with not MSI-H or dMMR tumor status, the median duration of study treatment was 7.2 months (range 1 day to 26.8 months) and the median
duration of exposure to KEYTRUDA was 6.8 months (range: 1 day to 25.8 months). (See Tables 35 and 36) (…)

14.7 Microsatellite Instability-High or Mismatch Repair Deficient Cancer
The efficacy of KEYTRUDA was investigated in patients with MSI-H or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR), solid tumors enrolled in one of five uncontrolled, open-
label, multi-cohort, multi-center, single-arm trials. Patients with active autoimmune disease or a medical condition that required immunosuppression were
ineligible across the five trials. (See Table 56) (…)
A total of 149 patients with MSI-H or dMMR cancers were identified across the five trials. Among these 149 patients, the baseline characteristics were: median
age of 55 years, 36% age 65 or older; 56% male; 77% White, 19% Asian, and 2% Black; and 36% ECOG PS of 0 and 64% ECOG PS of 1. Ninety-eight percent
of patients had metastatic disease and 2% had locally advanced, unresectable disease. The median number of prior therapies for metastatic or unresectable
disease was two. Eighty-four percent of patients with metastatic CRC and 53% of patients with other solid tumors received two or more prior lines of therapy.
The identification of MSI-H or dMMR tumor status for the majority of patients (135/149) was prospectively determined using local laboratory-developed,
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for MSI-H status or immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests for dMMR. Fourteen of the 149 patients were retrospectively
identified as MSI-H by testing tumor samples from a total of 415 patients using a central laboratory developed PCR test. Forty-seven patients had dMMR cancer
identified by IHC, 60 had MSI-H identified by PCR, and 42 were identified using both tests.
Efficacy results are summarized in Tables 57 and 58.

14.16 Tumor Mutational Burden-High Cancer
The efficacy of KEYTRUDA was investigated in a prospectively-planned retrospective analysis of 10 cohorts (A through J) of patients with various previously
treated unresectable or metastatic solid tumors with high tumor mutation burden (TMB-H) who were enrolled in a multicenter, non-randomized, open-label trial,
KEYNOTE-158 (NCT02628067). (…)
The statistical analysis plan pre-specified ≥10 and ≥13 mutations per megabase using the FoundationOne CDx assay as cutpoints to assess TMB. Testing of
TMB was blinded with respect to clinical outcomes. The major efficacy outcome measures were ORR and DoR in patients who received at least one dose of
KEYTRUDA as assessed by BICR according to RECIST v1.1, modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ.
In KEYNOTE-158, 1050 patients were included in the efficacy analysis population. TMB was analysed in the subset of 790 patients with sufficient tissue for
testing based on protocol-specified testing requirements. Of the 790 patients, 102 (13%) had tumors identified as TMB-H, defined as TMB ≥10 mutations per
megabase. Among the 102 patients with TMB-H advanced solid tumors, the study population characteristics were: median age of 61 years (range: 27 to 80),
34% age 65 or older; 34% male; 81% White; and 41% ECOG PS of 0 and 58% ECOG PS of 1. Fifty-six percent of patients had at least two prior lines of
therapy. (See Tables 58 and 59)
In an exploratory analysis in 32 patients enrolled in KEYNOTE-158 whose cancer had TMB ≥10 mut/Mb and <13 mut/Mb, the ORR was 13% (95% CI: 4%,
29%), including two complete responses and two partial responses.

Metabolism
Phenytoin is primarily metabolized by the hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2C9 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19. Because phenytoin is hydroxylated in
the liver by an enzyme system which is saturable at high serum levels, small incremental doses may increase the half-life and produce very substantial
increases in serum levels, when these are in the upper range. The steady-state level may be disproportionately increased, with resultant intoxication, from an
increase in dosage of 10% or more.
In most patients maintained at a steady dosage, stable phenytoin serum levels are achieved. There may be wide interpatient variability in phenytoin serum levels
with equivalent dosages. Patients with unusually low levels may be noncompliant or hypermetabolizers of phenytoin. Unusually high levels result from liver
disease, variant CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 alleles, or drug interactions which result in metabolic interference. The patient with large variations in phenytoin serum
levels, despite standard doses, presents a difficult clinical problem. Serum level determinations in such patients may be particularly helpful. As phenytoin is
highly protein bound, free phenytoin levels may be altered in patients whose protein binding characteristics differ from normal.
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
CYP2C9 activity is decreased in individuals with genetic variants such as the CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 alleles. Carriers of variant alleles, resulting in
intermediate (e.g., *1/*3, *2/*2) or poor metabolism (e.g., *2/*3, *3/*3) have decreased clearance of phenytoin. Other decreased or nonfunctional CYP2C9 alleles
may also result in decreased clearance of phenytoin (e.g., *5, *6, *8, *11). The prevalence of the CYP2C9 poor metabolizer phenotype is approximately 2-3% in
the White population, 0.5-4% in the Asian population, and <1% in the African American population. The CYP2C9 intermediate phenotype prevalence is
approximately 35% in the White population, 24% in the African American population, and 15-36% in the Asian population [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)
and Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].

PRECAUTIONS
Pharmacogenomics
Individuals with genetic variations resulting in poor CYP 2D6 metabolism (approximately 5 to 10% of the population) exhibit higher pimozide concentrations than
extensive CYP 2D6 metabolizers. The concentrations observed in poor CYP 2D6 metabolizers are similar to those seen with strong CYP 2D6 inhibitors such as
paroxetine. The time to achieve steady state pimozide concentrations is expected to be longer (approximately 2 weeks) in poor CYP 2D6 metabolizers because
of the prolonged half-life. Alternative dosing strategies are recommended in patients who are genetically poor CYP 2D6 metabolizers (see Dosage and
Administration).

Metabolism
(…) Higher systemic exposure of piroxicam has been noted in subjects with CYP2C9 polymorphisms compared to normal metabolizer type subjects [see Clinical
Pharmacology (12.5)].
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
CYP2C9 activity is reduced in individuals with genetic polymorphisms, such as the CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 polymorphisms. Limited data from two published
reports showed that subjects with heterozygous CYP2C9*1/*2 (n=9), heterozygous CYP2C9*1/*3 (n=9), and homozygous CYP2C9*3/*3 (n=1) genotypes
showed 1.7-, 1.7-, and 5.3-fold higher piroxicam systemic levels, respectively, than the subjects with CYP2C9*1/*1 (n=17, normal metabolizer genotype)
following administration of a single oral dose. The mean elimination half-life values of piroxicam for subjects with CYP2C9*1/*3 (n=9) and CYP2C9*3/*3 (n=1)
genotypes were 1.7- and 8.8-fold higher than subjects with CYP2C9*1/*1 (n=17). It is estimated that the frequency of the homozygous*3/*3 genotype is 0% to
1% in the population at large; however, frequencies as high as 5.7% have been reported in certain ethnic groups.
Poor Metabolizers of CYP2C9 Substrates
In patients who are known or suspected to be poor CYP2C9 metabolizers based on genotype or previous history/experience with other CYP2C9 substrates
(such as warfarin and phenytoin) consider dose reduction as they may have abnormally high plasma levels due to reduced metabolic clearance.

The pharmacokinetics of pitolisant were evaluated in 3 subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers (PMs) and 5 subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive
metabolizers (EMs). All subjects received WAKIX 17.8 mg daily for 7 days. Exposure of pitolisant in CYP2D6 PMs are summarized in Figure 3. (See Figure 3)
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
Approximately 3 to 10% of Caucasians and 2 to 7% of African Americans generally lack the capacity to metabolize CYP2D6 substrates and are classified as
poor metabolizers. The AUC of pitolisant was approximately 2.4 times higher in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers than in normal metabolizers and is similar to the
exposure of pitolisant when WAKIX is administered concomitantly with a CYP2D6 inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration (2.5), Drug Interactions (7.1)].

6.1 Clinical Trial Experience
Previously Treated CML or Ph+ ALL
The adverse reactions described in this section were identified in a single-arm, open-label, international, multicenter trial in 449 patients with CML or Ph+ ALL
whose disease was considered to be resistant or intolerant to prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy including those with the BCR-ABL T315I mutation. (…)
(…) At the time of analysis (48 months of follow-up), 133 patients (30%) were ongoing (110 CP-CML; 20 AP-CML; 3 BPCML; 0 Ph+ ALL), and the median
duration of treatment with Iclusig was 32.2 months in patients with CP-CML, 19.4 months in patients with AP-CML, 2.9 months in patients with BP-CML, and 2.7
months in patients with Ph+ ALL. (…)
(…) The rates of treatment-emergent adverse reactions resulting in discontinuation were 19% in CP-CML, 12% in AP-CML, 15% in BP-CML, and 9% in Ph+
ALL. The most common adverse reactions that led to treatment discontinuation was thrombocytopenia (4%). (See Table 5) (…)
Laboratory Abnormalities
(…) Myelosuppression was commonly reported in all patient populations. The frequency of grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia was higher
in patients with AP-CML, BP-CML, and Ph+ ALL than in patients with CP-CML. (See Table 7) (…)
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
The safety and efficacy of Iclusig in patients with CML and Ph+ ALL whose disease was considered to be resistant or intolerant to prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor
(TKI) therapy were evaluated in a single-arm, open-label, international, multicenter trial. Efficacy results described below should be interpreted within the context
of updated safety information [see Boxed Warning, Dosage and Administration (2.1), and Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.2)].
All patients were administered a starting dose of 45 mg of Iclusig once daily. Patients were assigned to one of six cohorts based on disease phase (chronic
phase CML [CP-CML]; accelerated phase CML [AP-CML]; or blast phase CML /Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia [BP-CML/Ph+ ALL]),
resistance or intolerance (R/I) to prior TKI therapy, and the presence of the T315I mutation.
Resistance in CP-CML while on prior TKI therapy, was defined as failure to achieve either a complete hematologic response (by 3 months), a minor cytogenetic
response (by 6 months), or a major cytogenetic response (by 12 months). Patients with CP-CML who experienced a loss of response or development of a
kinase domain mutation in the absence of a complete cytogenetic response or progression to AP-CML or BP-CML at any time on prior TKI therapy were also
considered resistant. Resistance in AP-CML, BP-CML, and Ph+ ALL was defined as failure to achieve either a major hematologic response (by 3 months in AP-
CML, and by 1 month in BP-CML and Ph+ ALL), loss of major hematologic response (at any time), or development of a kinase domain mutation in the absence
of a complete major hematologic response while on prior TKI therapy.
Intolerance was defined as the discontinuation of prior TKI therapy due to toxicities despite optimal management in the absence of a complete cytogenetic
response in patients with CP-CML or major hematologic response for patients with APCML, BP-CML, or Ph+ ALL.
The primary efficacy endpoint in CP-CML was major cytogenetic response (MCyR), which included complete and partial cytogenetic responses (CCyR and
PCyR). The primary efficacy endpoint in AP-CML, BP-CML, and Ph+ ALL was major hematologic response (MaHR), defined as either a complete hematologic
response (CHR) or no evidence of leukemia (NEL).
The trial enrolled 449 patients, of which 444 were eligible for efficacy analysis: 267 patients with CP-CML (R/I Cohort: n=203, T315I: n=64), 83 patients with AP-
CML, 62 patients with BP-CML, and 32 patients with Ph+ ALL. Five patients were not eligible for efficacy analysis due to lack of confirmation of T315I mutation
status, and these patients had not received prior dasatinib or nilotinib. (See Table 11) (…)

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1 Metastatic RET Fusion-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The efficacy of GAVRETO was evaluated in patients with RET fusion-positive metastatic NSCLC in a multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, multi-cohort
clinical trial (ARROW, NCT03037385). The study enrolled, in separate cohorts, patients with metastatic RET fusionpositive NSCLC who had progressed on
platinum-based chemotherapy and treatment-naïve patients with metastatic NSCLC. Identification of a RET gene fusion was determined by local laboratories
using next generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and other tests. Among the 114 patients in the efficacy population(s)
described in this section, samples from 59% of patients were retrospectively tested with the Life Technologies Corporation Oncomine Dx Target Test (ODxTT).
Patients with asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases, including patients with stable or decreasing steroid use within 2 weeks prior to study
entry, were enrolled. Patients received GAVRETO 400mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Metastatic RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC Previously Treated with Platinum Chemotherapy
Efficacy was evaluated in 87 patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC with measurable disease who were previously treated with platinum chemotherapy
enrolled into a cohort of ARROW. The median age was 60 years (range: 28 to 85); 49% were female, 53% were White, 35% were Asian, 6% were
Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (94%) or 2 (6%), 99% of patients had metastatic disease, and 43% had either a history of or current CNS
metastasis. Patients received a median of 2 prior systemic therapies (range 1–6); 45% had prior anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapy and 25% had prior kinase inhibitors. A
total of 52% of the patients received prior radiation therapy. RET fusions were detected in 77% of patients using NGS (45% tumor samples; 26% blood or
plasma samples, 6% unknown), 21% using FISH, and 2% using other methods. The most common RET fusion partners were KIF5B (75%) and CCDC6 (17%).
Efficacy results for RET fusion-positive NSCLC patients who received prior platinum-based chemotherapy are summarized in Table 8.
For the 39 patients who received an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy, either sequentially or concurrently with platinum-based chemotherapy, an exploratory
subgroup analysis of ORR was 59% (95% CI: 42, 74) and the median DOR was not reached (95% CI: 11.3, NE).
Among the 87 patients with RET-fusion positive NSCLC, 8 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BICR. No patients received radiation
therapy (RT) to the brain within 2 months prior to study entry. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 4 of these 8 patients including 2 patients with a
CNS complete response; 75% of responders had a DOR of ≥ 6 months.
Treatment-naïve RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC
Efficacy was evaluated in 27 patients with treatment-naïve RET fusion-positive NSCLC with measurable disease enrolled into ARROW. The median age was 65
years (range 30 to 87); 52% were female, 59% were White, 33% were Asian, and 4% were Hispanic or Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 for 96% of
the patients and all patients (100%) had metastatic disease 37% had either history of or current CNS metastasis. RET fusions were detected in 67% of patients
using NGS (41% tumor samples; 22% blood or plasma; 4% unknown) and 33% using FISH. The most common RET fusion partners were KIF5B (70%) and
CCDC6 (11%). Efficacy results for treatment-naïve RET fusion-positive NSCLC are summarized in Table 9.
14.2 RET-Mutant Medullary Thyroid Cancer
The efficacy of GAVRETO was evaluated in patients with RET-mutant MTC in a multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (ARROW; NCT03037385).
RET-Mutant MTC Previously Treated with Cabozantinib or Vandetanib
Efficacy was evaluated in 55 patients with RET-mutant metastatic MTC previously treated with cabozantinib or vandetanib (or both). The median age was 59
years (range: 25 to 83); 69% were male, 78% were White, 5% were Asian, 5% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (95%) or 2 (5%), and
7% had a history of CNS metastases. Patients had received a median of 2 prior therapies (range 1-7). RET mutation status was detected in 73% using NGS
[55% tumor sample, 18% plasma], 26% using PCR sequencing, and 2% other. The primary mutations in RET-mutant MTC previously treated with cabozantinib
or vandetanib are described in Table 10.
Efficacy results for RET-mutant MTC are summarized in Table 11.
Cabozantinib and Vandetanib-naïve RET-mutant MTC
Efficacy was evaluated in 29 patients with RET-mutant advanced MTC who were cabozantinib and vandetanib treatment-naïve. The median age was 61 years
(range: 19 to 81); 72% were male, 76% were White, 17% were Asian, 3.4% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (100%), 97% had
metastatic disease, and 14% had a history of CNS metastases. Twenty-eight percent (28%) had received up to 3 lines of prior systemic therapy (including 10%
PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, 10% radioactive iodine, 3.4% kinase inhibitors). RET mutation status was detected in 90% using NGS [52% tumor sample, 35% plasma,
3.4% blood] and 10% using PCR sequencing. The primary mutations used to identify and enroll patients are described in Table 10. Efficacy results for
cabozantinib and vandetanib-naïve RET-mutant MTC are summarized in Table 12.
14.3 RET Fusion-Positive Thyroid Cancer
The efficacy of GAVRETO was evaluated in RET fusion-positive metastatic thyroid cancer patients in a multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial
(ARROW, NCT03037385). All patients with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer were required to have disease progression
following standard therapy, measurable disease by RECIST version 1.1, and have RET fusion status as detected by local testing (89% NGS tumor samples and
11% using FISH). The median age was 61 years (range: 46 to 74); 67% were male, 78% were White, 22% were Asian, 11% were Hispanic/Latino. All patients
(100%) had papillary thyroid cancer. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (100%), all patients (100%) had metastatic disease, and 56% had a history of CNS
metastases. Patients had received a median of 2 prior therapies (range 1-8). Prior systemic treatments included prior radioactive iodine (100%) and prior
sorafenib and/or lenvatinib (56%). Efficacy results are summarized in Table 13.

Reactions, Hemolytic anemia and G6PD deficiency
Overdosage Due to the risk of hemolytic anemia in patients with G6PD deficiency, G6PD testing has to be performed before using primaquine. Due to the limitations of G6PD
tests, physicians need to be aware of residual risk of hemolysis and adequate medical support and follow-up to manage hemolytic risk should be available.
Primaquine should not be prescribed for patients with severe G6PD deficiency (see Contraindications).
PRECAUTIONS
Blood Monitoring
Since anemia, methemoglobinemia, and leukopenia have been observed following administration of large doses of primaquine, the adult dosage of 1 tablet (= 15
mg base) daily for fourteen days should not be exceeded. In G6PD normal patients it is also advisable to perform routine blood examinations (particularly blood
cell counts and hemoglobin determinations) during therapy.

Drugs that inhibit CYP2D6 (such as desipramine, paroxetine, ritonavir, sertraline) and CYP3A4 (such as ketoconazole, ritonavir, saquinavir, erythromycin, and
grapefruit juice) can be expected to cause increased plasma levels of propafenone. The combination of CYP3A4 inhibition and either CYP2D6 deficiency or
CYP2D6 inhibition with administration of propafenone may increase the risk of adverse reactions, including proarrhythmia. Therefore, simultaneous use of
RYTHMOL SR with both a CYP2D6 inhibitor and a CYP3A4 inhibitor should be avoided [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) and Dosage and Administration
(2)].
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetic
Metabolism
There are two genetically determined patterns of propafenone metabolism. In over 90% of patients, the drug is rapidly and extensively metabolized with an
elimination halflife from 2-10 hours. These patients metabolize propafenone into two active metabolites: 5 hydroxypropafenone which is formed by CYP2D6
and N-depropylpropafenone (norpropafenone) which is formed by both CYP3A4 and CYP1A2. In less than 10% of patients, metabolism of propafenone is
slower because the 5-hydroxy metabolite is not formed or is minimally formed. In these patients, the estimated propafenone elimination half-life ranges from 10
to 32 hours. Decreased ability to form the 5-hydroxy metabolite of propafenone is associated with a diminished ability to metabolize debrisoquine and a variety of
other drugs such as encainide, metoprolol, and dextromethorphan whose metabolism is mediated by the CYP2D6 isozyme. In these patients, the N-
depropylpropafenone metabolite occurs in quantities comparable to the levels occurring in extensive metabolizers.
As a consequence of the observed differences in metabolism, administration of RYTHMOL SR to slow and extensive metabolizers results in significant
differences in plasma concentrations of propafenone, with slow metabolizers achieving concentrations about twice those of the extensive metabolizers at daily
doses of 850 mg/day. At low doses the differences are greater, with slow metabolizers attaining concentrations about 3 to 4 times higher than extensive
metabolizers. In extensive metabolizers, saturation of the hydroxylation pathway
(CYP2D6) results in greater-than-linear increases in plasma levels following administration of RYTHMOL SR capsules. In slow metabolizers, propafenone
pharmacokinetics is linear. Because the difference decreases at high doses and is mitigated by the lack of the active 5hydroxymetabolite in the slow
metabolizers, and because steady-state conditions are achieved after 4 to 5 days of dosing in all patients, the recommended dosing regimen of RYTHMOL SR is
the same for all patients. The larger inter-subject variability in blood levels require that the dose of the drug be titrated carefully in patients with close attention
paid to clinical and ECG evidence of toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2)].
Inter-Subject Variability
With propafenone, there is a considerable degree of inter subject variability in pharmacokinetics which is due in large part to the first pass hepatic effect and
non-linear pharmacokinetics in extensive metabolizers. A higher degree of inter-subject variability in pharmacokinetic parameters of propafenone was observed
following both single and multiple dose administration of RYTHMOL SR capsules. Inter-subject variability appears to be substantially less in the poor metabolizer
group than in the extensive metabolizer group, suggesting that a large portion of the variability is intrinsic to CYP2D6 polymorphism rather than to the
formulation.

07/17/2014 Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450 2D6
The biochemical activity of the drug metabolizing isozyme cytochrome P450 2D6 (debrisoquine hydroxylase) is reduced in a subset of the Caucasian population
(about 7% to 10% of Caucasians are so called “poor metabolizers”); reliable estimates of the prevalence of reduced P450 2D6 isozyme activity among Asian,
African, and other populations are not yet available. Poor metabolizers have higher than expected plasma concentrations of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)
when given usual doses. Depending on the fraction of drug metabolized by P450 2D6, the increase in plasma concentration may be small or quite large (8 fold
increase in plasma AUC of the TCA). (…)
089338, Quinidine Cardiology CYP2D6 Precautions PRECAUTIONS
02/02/2010 (…) Constitutional deficiency of cytochrome P450IID6 is found in less than 1% of Orientals, in about 2% of American blacks, and in about 8% of American
whites. Testing with debrisoquine is sometimes used to distinguish the P450IID6-deficient "poor metabolizers" from the majority-phenotype "extensive
metabolizers". When drugs whose metabolism is P450IID6-dependent are given to poor metabolizers, the serum levels achieved are higher, sometimes much
higher, than the serum levels achieved when identical doses are given to extensive metabolizers. To obtain similar clinical benefit without toxicity, doses given to
poor metabolizers may need to be greatly reduced. In the case of prodrugs whose actions are actually mediated by P450IID6-produced metabolites (for
example, codeine and hydrocodone, whose analgesic and antitussive effects appear to be mediated by morphine and hydromorphone, respectively), it may not
be possible to achieve the desired clinical benefits in poor metabolizers. Quinidine is not metabolized by cytochrome P450IID6, but therapeutic serum levels of
quinidine inhibit the action of cytochrome P450IID6, effectively converting extensive metabolizers into poor metabolizers. Caution must be exercised whenever
quinidine is prescribed together with drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450IID6. (…)

Absorption
Risperidone is well absorbed. The absolute oral bioavailability of risperidone is 70% (CV=25%). The relative oral bioavailability of risperidone from a tablet is
94% (CV=10%) when compared to a solution.
Pharmacokinetic studies showed that RISPERDAL M-TAB Orally Disintegrating Tablets and RISPERDAL Oral Solution are bioequivalent to RISPERDAL
Tablets.
Plasma concentrations of risperidone, its major metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone, and risperidone plus 9-hydroxyrisperidone are dose proportional over the
dosing range of 1 to 16 mg daily (0.5 to 8 mg twice daily). Following oral administration of solution or tablet, mean peak plasma concentrations of risperidone
occurred at about 1 hour. Peak concentrations of 9-hydroxyrisperidone occurred at about 3 hours in extensive metabolizers, and 17 hours in poor metabolizers.
Steady-state concentrations of risperidone are reached in 1 day in extensive metabolizers and would be expected to reach steady-state in about 5 days in poor
metabolizers. Steady-state concentrations of 9-hydroxyrisperidone are reached in 5-6 days (measured in extensive metabolizers).
Metabolism
(…) CYP 2D6, also called debrisoquin hydroxylase, is the enzyme responsible for metabolism of many neuroleptics, antidepressants, antiarrhythmics, and other
drugs. CYP 2D6 is subject to genetic polymorphism (about 6%-8% of Caucasians, and a very low percentage of Asians, have little or no activity and are “poor
metabolizers”) and to inhibition by a variety of substrates and some non-substrates, notably quinidine. Extensive CYP 2D6 metabolizers convert risperidone
rapidly into 9-hydroxyrisperidone, whereas poor CYP 2D6 metabolizers convert it much more slowly. Although extensive metabolizers have lower risperidone
and higher 9-hydroxyrisperidone concentrations than poor metabolizers, the pharmacokinetics of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone combined, after single
and multiple doses, are similar in extensive and poor metabolizers.
Risperidone could be subject to two kinds of drug-drug interactions. First, inhibitors of CYP 2D6 interfere with conversion of risperidone to 9-hydroxyrisperidone
[see Drug Interactions (7)]. This occurs with quinidine, giving essentially all recipients a risperidone pharmacokinetic profile typical of poor metabolizers. The
therapeutic benefits and adverse effects of risperidone in patients receiving quinidine have not been evaluated, but observations in a modest number (n≅70) of
poor metabolizers given RISPERDAL do not suggest important differences between poor and extensive metabolizers. Second, co-administration of known
enzyme inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, and phenobarbital) with RISPERDAL may cause a decrease in the combined plasma

02/03/2023 Govitecan-hziy (1) Precautions, 5.5 Increased Risk of Adverse Reactions in Patients with Reduced UGT1A1 Activity
Clinical Patients homozygous for the uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia, febrile neutropenia,
Pharmacology and anemia; and may be at increased risk for other adverse reactions when treated with TRODELVY. The incidence of neutropenia and anemia was analyzed in
948 patients who received TRODELVY and had UGT1A1 genotype results. In patients homozygous for the UGT1A1 *28 allele (n=112), the incidence of Grade
3-4 neutropenia was 58%. In patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele (n=420), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 49%. In patients
homozygous for the wild-type allele (n=416), the incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 43% [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.5)]. In patients homozygous for
the UGT1A1 *28 allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 21%. In patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was
10%. In patients homozygous for the wild-type allele, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 9%.
The median time to first neutropenia including febrile neutropenia was 9 days in patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, 15 days in patients
heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, and 20 days in patients homozygous for the wild-type allele.
The median time to first anemia was 21 days in patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, 25 days in patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, and
28 days in patients homozygous for the wild-type allele. Closely monitor patients with known reduced UGT1A1 activity for adverse reactions. Withhold or
permanently discontinue TRODELVY based on clinical assessment of the onset, duration and severity of the observed adverse reactions in patients with
evidence of acute early-onset or unusually severe adverse reactions, which may indicate reduced UGT1A1 enzyme activity [see Dosage and Administration
(2.3)].
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
SN-38 is metabolized via UGT1A1 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Genetic variants of the UGT1A1 gene such as the UGT1A1*28 allele lead to reduced
UGT1A1 enzyme activity. Individuals who are homozygous or heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia, febrile neutropenia,
and anemia from TRODELVY compared to individuals who are wildtype (*1/*1) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. Approximately 20% of the Black or African
American population, 10% of the White population, and 2% of the East Asian population are homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele (*28/*28). Approximately
40% of the Black or African American population, 50% of the White population, and 25% of the East Asian population are heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28
allele (*1/*28). Decreased function alleles other than UGT1A1*28 may be present in certain populations.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is a chronic, autosomal recessive, inherited, phenotypically heterogeneous disease with very variable enzyme
activity. CSID is usually characterized by a complete or almost complete lack of endogenous sucrase activity, a very marked reduction in isomaltase activity, a
moderate decrease in maltase activity, and normal lactase levels. (…)
GENERAL
Although Sucraid provides replacement therapy for the deficient sucrase, it does not provide specific replacement therapy for the deficient isomaltase. Therefore,
restricting starch in the diet may still be necessary to reduce symptoms as much as possible. The need for dietary starch restriction for patients using Sucraid
should be evaluated in each patient. (…)

RYR1 and CACNA1S are polymorphic genes, and multiple pathogenic variants have been associated with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) in
patients receiving volatile anesthetic agents, including sevoflurane. Case reports as well as ex-vivo studies have identified multiple variants in RYR1 and

The safety of IMCIVREE was evaluated in two 52-week, open-label clinical studies of 27 patients with obesity due to POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR deficiency with
POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR genes that are interpreted as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or of uncertain significance [see Clinical Studies (14)]. (…)
6.2 Immunogenicity
(…) Approximately 61% of adult and pediatric patients with POMC- or LEPR-deficiency who received IMCIVREE (N=28) screened positive for antibodies to
IMCIVREE, and 39% screened negative. The 61% of patients who screened positive for antibodies to IMCIVREE were inconclusive for antibodies to IMCIVREE
in the confirmatory assay. There was no observation of a rapid decline in IMCIVREE concentrations to suggest the presence of anti-drug antibodies. (…)
Approximately 13% of adult and pediatric patients with LEPR-deficiency (3 patients) confirmed positive for antibodies to alpha-MSH that were classified as low-

The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to LUMAKRAS as a single agent at 960 mg orally once daily
in 357 patients in with NSCLC and other solid tumors with KRAS G12C mutation enrolled in CodeBreaK 100, 28% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 3%
were exposed for greater than one year.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The safety of LUMAKRAS was evaluated in a subset of patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in CodeBreaK 100 [see
Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received LUMAKRAS 960 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (n = 204). Among patients who
received LUMAKRAS, 39% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 3% were exposed for greater than one year. (See Tables 3 and 4) (…)
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of sotorasib have been characterized in healthy subjects and in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated solid tumors, including NSCLC.
Sotorasib exhibited non-linear, time-dependent, pharmacokinetics over the dose range of 180 mg to 960 mg (0.19 to 1 time the approved recommended dosage)
once daily with similar systemic exposure (i.e., AUC0-24h and Cmax) across doses at steady-state. Sotorasib systemic exposure was comparable between film-
coated tablets and film-coated tablets predispersed in water administered under fasted conditions. Sotorasib plasma concentrations reached steady state within
22 days. No accumulation was observed after repeat LUMAKRAS dosages with a mean accumulation ratio of 0.56 (coefficient of variation (CV): 59%).
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of LUMAKRAS was demonstrated in a subset of patients enrolled in a single-arm, open-label, multicenter trial (CodeBreaK 100 [NCT03600883]).
Eligible patients were required to have locally advanced or metastatic KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC with disease progression after receiving an immune
checkpoint inhibitor and/or platinum-based chemotherapy, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 1, and at least one
measurable lesion as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1).
All patients were required to have prospectively identified KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC in tumor tissue samples by using the QIAGEN therascreen® KRAS
RGQ PCR Kit performed in a central laboratory. Of 126 total enrolled subjects, 2 (2%) were unevaluable for efficacy analysis due to the absence of
radiographically measurable lesions at baseline. Of the 124 patients with KRAS G12C mutations confirmed in tumor tissue, plasma samples from 112 patients
were tested retrospectively using the Guardant360® CDx. 78/112 patients (70%) had KRAS G12C mutation identified in plasma specimen, 31/112 patients
(28%) did not have KRAS G12C mutation identified in plasma specimen and 3/112 (2%) were unevaluable due to Guardant360® CDx test failure. (See Table 5)

008453, Succinylcholine Anesthesiology BCHE Warnings, WARNINGS
11/01/2022 (1) Precautions (…) Succinylcholine is metabolized by plasma cholinesterase and should be used with caution, if at all, in patients known to be or suspected of being
homozygous for the atypical plasma cholinesterase gene.
PRECAUTIONS
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Succinylcholine is contraindicated in persons with personal or familial history of malignant hyperthermia, skeletal muscle myopathies, and known hypersensitivity
to the drug. It is also contraindicated in patients after the acute phase of injury following major burns, multiple trauma, extensive denervation of skeletal muscle,
or upper motor neuron injury, because succinylcholine administered to such individuals may result in severe hyperkalemia which may result in cardiac arrest
(see WARNINGS). The risk of hyperkalemia in these patients increases over time and usually peaks at 7 to 10 days after the injury. The risk is dependent on the
extent and location of the injury. The precise time of onset and the duration of the risk period are not known.
WARNINGS
Malignant Hyperthermia
In susceptible individuals, succinylcholine may trigger malignant hyperthermia, a skeletal muscle hypermetabolic state leading to high oxygen demand. Fatal
outcomes of malignant hyperthermia have been reported.
The risk of developing malignant hyperthermia increases with the concomitant administration of succinylcholine and volatile anesthetic agents. Anectine can
induce malignant hyperthermia in patients with known or suspected susceptibility based on genetic factors or family history, including those with certain inherited
ryanodine receptor (RYR1) or dihydropyridine receptor (CACNA1S) variants. (see CONTRAINDICATIONS, CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY; Pharmacogenomics)
(…)
PRECAUTIONS
Pediatric Use
(…) In addition, in the presence of signs of malignant hyperthermia, appropriate treatment should be initiated concurrently (see WARNINGS). Since it is difficult
to identify which patients are at risk, it is recommended that the use of succinylcholine in pediatric patients should be reserved for emergency intubation or
instances where immediate securing of the airway is necessary, e.g., laryngospasm, difficult airway, full stomach, or for intramuscular use when a suitable vein
is inaccessible.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Adverse reactions to succinylcholine consist primarily of an extension of its pharmacological actions. Succinylcholine causes profound muscle relaxation
resulting in respiratory depression to the point of apnea; this effect may be prolonged. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur in rare
instances. The following additional adverse reactions have been reported: cardiac arrest, malignant hyperthermia, arrhythmias, bradycardia, tachycardia,
hypertension, hypotension, hyperkalemia, prolonged respiratory depression or apnea, increased intraocular pressure, muscle fasciculation, jaw rigidity,
postoperative muscle pain, rhabdomyolysis with possible myoglobinuric acute renal failure, excessive salivation, and rash.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Pharmacogenomics
RYR1 and CACNA1S are polymorphic genes, and multiple pathogenic variants have been associated with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) in
patients receiving succinylcholine, including Anectine. Case reports as well as ex-vivo studies have identified multiple variants in RYR1 and CACNA1S
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
Efficacy was demonstrated in a multicenter, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 441 patients with wild type or hereditary ATTR-
CM (NCT01994889).
Patients were randomized in a 1:2:2 ratio to receive VYNDAQEL 20 mg (n=88), VYNDAQEL 80 mg (administered as four 20-mg VYNDAQEL capsules) (n=176),
or matching placebo (n=177) once daily for 30 months, in addition to standard of care (e.g., diuretics). Treatment assignment was stratified by the presence or
absence of a variant TTR genotype as well as baseline disease severity (NYHA Class). Transplant patients were excluded from this study. Table 1 describes the
patient demographics and baseline characteristics. (See Tables 1 and 3, Figures 1 and 4)

Anastrozole Adjuvant Trial (ATAC: Arimidex, Tamoxifen, Alone or in Combination) – Study of Anastrozole Compared to Tamoxifen for Adjuvant Treatment of
Early Breast Cancer
At a median follow-up of 33 months, the combination of anastrozole and tamoxifen did not demonstrate an efficacy benefit when compared to tamoxifen
monotherapy in all patients as well as in the hormone receptorpositive subpopulation. The combination treatment arm was discontinued from the trial. The
median duration of adjuvant treatment for safety evaluation was 59.8 months and 59.6 months for patients receiving anastrozole 1 mg and tamoxifen 20 mg
monotherapy, respectively. (…)
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
The impact of CYP2D6 polymorphisms on the efficacy of tamoxifen is not well established. CYP2D6 poor metabolizers carrying two non-functional alleles exhibit
significantly lower endoxifen plasma concentrations compared to patients carrying one or more fully functional alleles of CYP2D6. In patients with estrogen
receptor-positive breast cancer who were participating in the WHEL (Women’s Health Eating and Living) Study (NCT00003787), the mean (SD) serum
concentration of endoxifen was 22.8 (11.3), 15.9 (9.2), 8.1 (4.9) and 5.6 (3.8) ng/mL in 27 ultrarapid, 1,097 normal, 164 intermediate and 82 poor metabolizers
(p<0.0001), respectively. This finding is consistent with other published studies that report lower endoxifen concentrations in poor metabolizers compared to
normal metabolizers.

14.2 Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer
Pooled Studies of Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer
The Early Breast Cancer Trialists’ Collaborative Group (EBCTCG) conducted worldwide overviews of systemic adjuvant therapy for early breast cancer in 1985,
1990, 1995, 1998 and 2011. The 10-year outcome data were reported in 1998 for 36,689 women in 55 randomized trials of another formulation of adjuvant
tamoxifen using doses of 20 to 40 mg per day for 1 to 5+ years. Twenty-five percent of patients received 1 year or less of trial treatment, 52% received 2 years,
and 23% received about 5 years. Fortyeight percent of tumors were estrogen receptor (ER)- positive (>10 fmol/mg), 21% were ER-poor (<10 fmol/mg), and 31%
were ER-unknown. Among 29,441 patients with ER-positive or ER-unknown breast cancer, 58% were entered into trials comparing tamoxifen to no adjuvant
therapy and 42% were entered into trials comparing tamoxifen in combination with chemotherapy vs. the same chemotherapy alone. Among these patients, 54%
had node-positive disease and 46% had node-negative disease.
In women with ER-positive or ER-unknown breast cancer:
• With positive nodes who received about 5 years of treatment, overall survival at 10 years was 61.4% for tamoxifen vs. 50.5% for control (log-rank 2p
<0.00001). The recurrence-free rate at 10 years was 59.7% for tamoxifen vs. 44.5% for control (log-rank 2p <0.00001).
• With negative nodes who received about 5 years of treatment, overall survival at 10 years was 78.9% for tamoxifen vs. 73.3% for control (log-rank 2p
<0.00001). The recurrence-free rate at 10 years was 79.2% for tamoxifen vs. 64.3% for control (log-rank 2p <0.00001).
• Who received 1 year or less, 2 years, or about 5 years of tamoxifen, the proportional reductions in mortality were 12%, 17%, and 26%, respectively (2p
<0.003). The corresponding reductions in breast cancer recurrence were 21%, 29%, and 47% (2p <0.00001).
Results in patients with ER-poor breast cancer
• Benefit is less clear for women with ER-poor breast cancer in whom the proportional reduction in recurrence was 10% (2p = 0.007) for all durations taken
together, or 9% (2p = 0.02) if contralateral breast cancers are excluded. The corresponding reduction in mortality was 6% (not significant).
Node-positive: Individual Studies
(…) In the Hubay study, patients with a positive (more than 3 fmol) estrogen receptor were more likely to benefit. In the NSABP B-09 study in women age 50 to
59 years, only women with both estrogen and progesterone receptor levels 10 fmol or greater clearly benefited, while survival results were poorer in women with
both estrogen and progesterone receptor levels less than 10 fmol. In women age 60 to 70 years, there was an improvement in disease-free survival with
tamoxifen without any clear relationship to estrogen or progesterone receptor status. (…)
Node–negative: Individual Studies
NSABP B-14, a prospective, double-blind, randomized study, compared another formulation of tamoxifen to placebo as adjuvant therapy in women with axillary
node-negative, estrogen-receptor positive (≥10 fmol/mg cytosol protein) breast cancer (following total mastectomy and axillary dissection, or segmental
resection, axillary dissection, and breast radiation). After five years of treatment, there was a significant improvement in disease-free survival in women receiving
tamoxifen. This benefit was apparent both in women under age 50 and in women at or beyond age 50.
One additional randomized study (NATO) demonstrated improved disease-free survival for another formulation of tamoxifen compared to no adjuvant therapy
following total mastectomy and axillary dissection in postmenopausal women with axillary node-negative breast cancer. In this study, the benefits of tamoxifen
appeared to be independent of estrogen receptor status.

Clinical Studies A genetic variant near the gene encoding interferon-lambda-3 (IL28B rs12979860, a C to T change) is a strong predictor of response to peginterferon alfa and
ribavirin (PR). rs12979860 was genotyped in 454 of 1088 subjects in Trial 108 (treatment-naïve) and 527 of 662 subjects in Trial C216 (previously treated) [see
Clinical Studies (14.2 and 14.3) for trial descriptions]. SVR rates tended to be lower in subjects with the CT and TT genotypes compared to those with the CC
genotype, particularly among treatment-naïve subjects receiving PR48 (Table 9). Among both treatment-naïve and previous treatment failures, subjects of all
IL28B genotypes appeared to have higher SVR rates with regimens containing INCIVEK. The results of this retrospective subgroup analysis should be viewed
with caution because of the small sample size and potential differences in demographic or clinical characteristics of the subtrial population relative to the overall
trial population. In Trial C211, all subjects were prospectively tested for IL28B variants; there were no clinically relevant differences in SVR12 responses

Approximately 0.3% (1:300) of patients of European or African ancestry have two loss-offunction alleles of the TPMT gene and have little or no TMPT activity
(homozygous deficient or poor metabolizers), and approximately 10% of patients have one loss-of-function TPMT allele leading to intermediate TPMT activity
(heterozygous deficient or intermediate metabolizers). The TPMT*2, TPMT*3A, and TPMT*3C alleles account for about 95% of individuals with reduced levels of
TPMT activity. NUDT15 deficiency is detected in <1% of patients of European or African ancestry. Among patients of East Asian ancestry (i.e., Chinese,
Japanese, Vietnamese), 2% have two loss-of-function alleles of the NUDT15 gene, and approximately 21% have one loss-of-function allele. The p.R139C
variant of NUDT15 (present on the *2 and *3 alleles) is the most commonly observed, but other less common lossof-function NUDT15 alleles have been
observed.
Consider all clinical information when interpreting results from phenotypic testing used to determine the level of thiopurine nucleotides or TPMT activity in
erythrocytes, since some coadministered drugs can influence measurement of TPMT activity in blood, and blood from recent transfusions will misrepresent a
patient’s actual TPMT activity.

Information 5.4 Ultra-Rapid Metabolism of Tramadol and Other Risk Factors for Lifethreatening Respiratory Depression in Children
Life-threatening respiratory depression and death have occurred in children who received tramadol. Tramadol and codeine are subject to variability in
metabolism based upon CYP2D6 genotype (described below), which can lead to increased exposure to an active metabolite. Based upon post-marketing
reports with tramadol or with codeine, children younger than 12 years of age may be more susceptible to the respiratory depressant effects of tramadol.

(…) INGREZZA may cause an increase in the corrected QT interval in patients who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers or who are taking a strong CYP2D6 or
CYP3A4 inhibitor. An exposure-response analysis of clinical data from two healthy volunteer studies revealed increased QTc interval with higher plasma
concentrations of the active metabolite. Based on this model, patients taking an INGREZZA 60 mg or 80 mg dose with increased exposure to the metabolite
(e.g., being a CYP2D6 poor metabolizer) may have a mean (upper bound of double-sided 90% CI) QT prolongation of 9.6 (12.0) msec or 11.7 (14.7) msec,
respectively as compared to otherwise healthy volunteers given INGREZZA, who had a respective mean (upper bound of double-sided 90% CI) QT prolongation
of 5.3 (6.7) msec or 6.7 (8.4) msec [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
CYP2D6 metabolizes the active metabolite of valbenazine ([+]-α-HTBZ). The gene encoding CYP2D6 has polymorphisms that impact protein function. CYP2D6
poor metabolizers are individuals with two nonfunctioning alleles, resulting in no enzyme activity.
Pharmacokinetic data from CYP2D6 poor metabolizers (n=25) treated with valbenazine demonstrate an approximate 2-fold higher AUCinf and a 1.8-fold higher
Cmax, of ([+]-α-HTBZ) compared to normal metabolizers. Dosage reduction is recommended in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers [see Dosage and Administration
(2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.3), and Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].
In a clinical study, AUC of [+]-α-HTBZ was 22% higher and Cmax was 9% lower in intermediate metabolizers (n=7) as compared to normal metabolizers (n=11),
which is not considered clinically relevant. The effects of ultrarapid metabolizer status on the pharmacokinetics of [+]-α-HTBZ have not been studied.
Approximately 7% of White populations, 2% of Asian populations, and 2% of African-American populations are poor metabolizers.

The pharmacokinetics of viltolarsen was evaluated in DMD patients following administration of intravenous (IV) doses ranging from 1.25 mg/kg/week (0.016
times the recommended dosage) to 80 mg/kg/week (the recommended dosage). Viltolarsen exposure increased proportionally with dose, with minimal
accumulation with once-weekly dosing. Inter-subject variability (as %CV) for Cmax and AUC ranged from 16% to 27% respectively.
VILTEPSO is administered as an IV infusion over 60 minutes. Bioavailability is assumed to be 100%, and median Tmax was around 1 hour (end of infusion).

Age, Sex & Race
The pharmacokinetics of viltolarsen have been evaluated only in male pediatric DMD patients.There is no experience with VILTEPSO in patients 65 years of age
or older. No marked differences in any PK parameters were observed between White and Asian patients.
Patients with Renal or Hepatic Impairment
VILTEPSO has not been studied in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. Viltolarsen was found to be metabolically stable, and hepatic metabolism does not
contribute to the elimination of viltolarsen. In addition, viltolarsen was mainly excreted unchanged in the urine. Viltolarsen is eliminated renally, and renal
impairment is expected to result in increasing exposure of viltolarsen. However, because of the effect of reduced skeletal muscle mass on creatinine
measurements in DMD patients, no specific dosage adjustment can be recommended for DMD patients with renal impairment based on glomerular filtration rate
estimated by serum creatinine [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].

Metabolism
In vitro studies showed that voriconazole is metabolized by the human hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes, CYP2C19, CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 [see Drug
Interactions (7)].
In vivo studies indicated that CYP2C19 is significantly involved in the metabolism of voriconazole. This enzyme exhibits genetic polymorphism. For example, 15-
20% of Asian populations may be expected to be poor metabolizers. For Caucasians and Blacks, the prevalence of poor metabolizers is 3-5%. Studies
conducted in Caucasian and Japanese healthy subjects have shown that poor metabolizers have, on average, 4-fold higher voriconazole exposure (AUCτ) than
their homozygous extensive metabolizer counterparts. Subjects who are heterozygous extensive metabolizers have, on average, 2-fold higher voriconazole
exposure than their homozygous extensive metabolizer counterparts. (…)

Clinical The maximum recommended dose of TRINTELLIX is 10 mg/day in known CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. Reduce the dose of TRINTELLIX by one-half when
Pharmacology patients are receiving a CYP2D6 strong inhibitor (e.g., bupropion, fluoxetine, paroxetine, or quinidine) concomitantly. The dose should be increased to the
original level when the CYP2D6 inhibitor is discontinued [see Drug Interactions (7.3)].

Metabolism and Elimination
Vortioxetine is extensively metabolized primarily through oxidation via cytochrome P450 isozymes CYP2D6, CYP3A4/5, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2A6, CYP2C8
and CYP2B6 and subsequent glucuronic acid conjugation. CYP2D6 is the primary enzyme catalyzing the metabolism of vortioxetine to its major,
pharmacologically inactive, carboxylic acid metabolite, and poor metabolizers of CYP2D6 have approximately twice the vortioxetine plasma concentration of
extensive metabolizers. (…)

Drug Interactions, The appropriate initial dosing of COUMADIN varies widely for different patients. Not all factors responsible for warfarin dose variability are known, and the initial
Clinical dose is influenced by:
Pharmacology • Clinical factors including age, race, body weight, sex, concomitant medications, and comorbidities
• Genetic factors (CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.5)] (…)
Dosing Recommendations without Consideration of Genotype
If the patient’s CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes are not known, the initial dose of COUMADIN is usually 2 to 5 mg once daily. Determine each patient’s dosing
needs by close monitoring of the INR response and consideration of the indication being treated. Typical maintenance doses are 2 to 10 mg once daily.
Dosing Recommendations with Consideration of Genotype
Table 1 displays three ranges of expected maintenance COUMADIN doses observed in subgroups of patients having different combinations of CYP2C9 and
VKORC1 gene variants [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.5)]. If the patient’s CYP2C9 and/or VKORC1 genotype are known, consider these ranges in choosing the
initial dose. Patients with CYP2C9 *1/*3, *2/*2, *2/*3, and *3/*3 may require more prolonged time (>2 to 4 weeks) to achieve maximum INR effect for a given
dosage regimen than patients without these CYP variants. (See Table 1)
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism
The elimination of warfarin is almost entirely by metabolism. Warfarin is stereoselectively metabolized by hepatic cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) microsomal
enzymes to inactive hydroxylated metabolites (predominant route) and by reductases to reduced metabolites (warfarin alcohols) with minimal anticoagulant
activity. Identified metabolites of warfarin include dehydrowarfarin, two diastereoisomer alcohols, and 4′-, 6-, 7-, 8-, and 10- hydroxywarfarin. The CYP450
isozymes involved in the metabolism of warfarin include CYP2C9, 2C19, 2C8, 2C18, 1A2, and 3A4. CYP2C9, a polymorphic enzyme, is likely to be the principal
form of human liver CYP450 that modulates the in vivo anticoagulant activity of warfarin. Patients with one or more variant CYP2C9 alleles have decreased S-
warfarin clearance [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.5)].
12.5 Pharmacogenomics
CYP2C9 and VKORC1 Polymorphisms The S-enantiomer of warfarin is mainly metabolized to 7-hydroxywarfarin by CYP2C9, a polymorphic enzyme. The
variant alleles, CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3, result in decreased in vitro CYP2C9 enzymatic 7-hydroxylation of S-warfarin. The frequencies of these alleles in
Caucasians are approximately 11% and 7% for CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3, respectively. Other CYP2C9 alleles associated with reduced enzymatic activity occur
at lower frequencies, including *5, *6, and *11 alleles in populations of African ancestry and *5, *9, and *11 alleles in Caucasians.
Warfarin reduces the regeneration of vitamin K from vitamin K epoxide in the vitamin K cycle through inhibition of VKOR, a multiprotein enzyme complex. Certain
single nucleotide polymorphisms in the VKORC1 gene (e.g., –1639G>A) have been associated with variable warfarin dose requirements. VKORC1 and CYP2C9
gene variants generally explain the largest proportion of known variability in warfarin dose requirements.
CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotype information, when available, can assist in selection of the initial dose of warfarin [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

In the following clinical settings, the risks of COUMADIN therapy may be increased:
(…) Deficiency in protein C-mediated anticoagulant response: COUMADIN reduces the synthesis of the naturally occurring anticoagulants, protein C and protein
S. Hereditary or acquired deficiencies of protein C or its cofactor, protein S, have been associated with tissue necrosis following warfarin administration.

An anticoagulation effect generally occurs within 24 hours after warfarin administration. However, peak anticoagulant effect may be delayed 72 to 96 hours. The
duration of action of a single dose of racemic warfarin is 2 to 5 days. The effects of COUMADIN may become more pronounced as effects of daily maintenance
doses overlap. This is consistent with the half-lives of the affected vitamin K-dependent clotting factors and anticoagulation proteins: Factor II - 60 hours, VII - 4
to 6 hours, IX - 24 hours, X - 48 to 72 hours, and proteins C and S are approximately 8 hours and 30 hours, respectively.
