Clinical manifestations may include generalized rash, urticaria, mild shortness of breath, mild facial swelling, and eosinophilia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions

    Serious hypersensitivity reactions after administration of OXBRYTA have occurred in <1% of patients treated. Clinical manifestations may include generalized rash, urticaria, mild shortness of breath, mild facial swelling, and eosinophilia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

    If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue OXBRYTA and administer appropriate medical therapy. Do not reinitiate OXBRYTA in patients who experience these symptoms with previous use.

    5.2 Laboratory Test Interference

    OXBRYTA administration may interfere with measurement of Hb subtypes (HbA, HbS, and HbF) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [see Drug Interactions (7.3)]. If precise quantitation of Hb species is required, chromatography should be performed when the patient is not receiving OXBRYTA therapy.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following clinically significant adverse reaction is discussed in other sections of the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Contraindications (4)].

    6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

    Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

    The safety of OXBRYTA was evaluated in the HOPE trial based upon 88 patients who received OXBRYTA 1,500 mg and 91 patients who received placebo orally once daily [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Seventy-four patients received OXBRYTA 1,500 mg once daily for ≥24 weeks and 65 patients for ≥48 weeks.

    In patients who received OXBRYTA 1,500 mg once daily the median age was 24 years (range:12-59); 65% female; 66% Black or African American and 23% Arab/Middle Eastern; and 65% receiving hydroxyurea at baseline.

    Serious adverse reactions occurred in 3% (3/88) of patients receiving OXBRYTA 1,500 mg, which included headache, drug hypersensitivity, and pulmonary embolism occurring in 1 patient each. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction (Grades 1-4) occurred in 5% (4/88) of patients who received OXBRYTA 1,500 mg.

    Dosage modifications (dose reduction or dosing interruption) due to an adverse reaction occurred in 41% (36/88) of patients who received OXBRYTA. Most frequent adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption occurring in more than one patient who received OXBRYTA 1,500 mg included diarrhea, headache, rash, and vomiting.

    The safety profile observed in pediatric patients 12 to <17 years of age treated with OXBRYTA was similar to that seen in adult patients.

    The most common adverse reactions occurring in ≥10% of patients treated with OXBRYTA 1,500 mg with a difference of >3% compared to placebo are summarized in Table 2.

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on Voxelotor

    Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors or Fluconazole

    Co-administration of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or fluconazole may increase voxelotor plasma concentrations and may lead to increased toxicity.

    Avoid co-administration of OXBRYTA with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or fluconazole and replace these drugs with alternative drugs when possible [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Decrease the OXBRYTA dosage when co-administration with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor or fluconazole is unavoidable [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

    Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers

    Co-administration of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease voxelotor plasma concentrations and may lead to reduced efficacy.

    Avoid co-administration of OXBRYTA with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Increase the OXBRYTA dosage when co-administration with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer is unavoidable [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

    7.2 Effect of Voxelotor on Other Drugs

    Voxelotor increased the systemic exposure of midazolam (a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Avoid co-administration of OXBRYTA with sensitive CYP3A4 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index. If concomitant use is unavoidable, consider dose reduction of the sensitive CYP3A4 substrate(s).

    7.3 Laboratory Test Interference

    OXBRYTA administration may interfere with measurement of Hb subtypes (HbA, HbS, and HbF) by HPLC [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. If precise quantitation of Hb species is required, chromatography should be performed when the patient is not receiving OXBRYTA therapy.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    There are no available data on OXBRYTA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of voxelotor to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at exposures up to 2.8-times (rats) and 0.3-times (rabbits) the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose resulted in no adverse developmental effects (see Data).

    The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is approximately 14% and up to 43%, respectively. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.

    There are adverse effects on maternal and fetal outcomes associated with sickle cell disease in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations). OXBRYTA should only be used during pregnancy if the benefit of the drug outweighs the potential risk.

    Clinical Considerations

    Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk

    Women with sickle cell disease have an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes for the mother and the fetus. Pregnant women are at greater risk for vasoocclusive crises, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, and maternal mortality. For the fetus, there is an increased risk for intrauterine growth restriction, preterm delivery, low birth weight, and perinatal mortality.

    Data

    Animal Data

    In embryo-fetal development studies, voxelotor was administered orally to pregnant rats at 15, 50, and 250 mg/kg/day (gestation days 7 through 17) and rabbits at 25, 75, and 150 mg/kg/day (gestation days 7 through 19) through organogenesis. Maternal toxicity was observed at the highest dose levels in these studies equivalent to 2.8-times (rats) and 0.3-times (rabbits) the exposures in patients receiving OXBRYTA at the recommended daily dose. There was no evidence of adverse developmental outcomes in rats or rabbits.

    In a pre- and postnatal development study, voxelotor was administered orally to pregnant rats at 15, 50 and 250 mg/kg/day (gestation day 6 through lactation day 20). Maternal gestational body weights were decreased at 250 mg/kg/day, which continued to the end of lactation. The findings in offspring included reduced survival and reduced body weights throughout lactation, weaning and maturation. The effects in offspring were observed at the maternal dose of 250 mg/kg/day with an exposure approximately 2.8-times the exposure in patients at the recommended dose.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    There are no data on the presence of voxelotor in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Voxelotor was detected in milk in lactating rats. Plasma concentrations of voxelotor in pregnant rats were higher than the concentration in milk. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. The concentration of voxelotor in animal milk does not necessarily predict the concentration of drug in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, including changes in the hematopoietic system, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with OXBRYTA, and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and effectiveness of OXBRYTA for sickle cell disease have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. Use of OXBRYTA for sickle cell disease is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study in adults and pediatric patients (HOPE trial). The HOPE trial enrolled a total of 26 pediatric patients aged 12 to <17 years, in which 12 pediatric patients received OXBRYTA 1,500 mg once daily and 14 pediatric patients received OXBRYTA 900 mg once daily [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Clinical Studies (14)]. The safety and efficacy of OXBRYTA in pediatric patients below the age of 12 years have not been established.

    Pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy in pediatric patients 12 years to <17 years were similar to that observed in adults [see Dosage and Administration (2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14)].

    The adverse reactions observed in pediatric patients 12 to <17 years treated with OXBRYTA were similar in type and frequency to those observed in adults [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Clinical studies of OXBRYTA did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

    8.6 Hepatic Impairment

    Severe hepatic impairment increases voxelotor exposures [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Reduce OXBRYTA dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    Voxelotor is a hemoglobin S polymerization inhibitor.

    The chemical name of voxelotor is:

    2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde.

    Voxelotor has a molecular formula of C19H19N3O3 and a molecular weight of 337.4.

    The chemical structure of voxelotor is:

    Chemical Structure

    Voxelotor, the active drug substance, is a white-to-yellow-to-beige compound in crystalline Form II of its free base. It is non-hygroscopic. It is highly soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and toluene and insoluble in water (approximately 0.03 mg/mL).

    Each OXBRYTA film-coated tablet for oral use contains 500 mg of voxelotor with the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium lauryl sulfate. In addition, the film coating contains: polyethylene glycol 3350, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, titanium dioxide, and yellow iron oxide.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Voxelotor is a hemoglobin S (HbS) polymerization inhibitor that binds to HbS with a 1:1 stoichiometry and exhibits preferential partitioning to red blood cells (RBCs). By increasing the affinity of Hb for oxygen, voxelotor demonstrates dose-dependent inhibition of HbS polymerization. Nonclinical studies suggest that voxelotor may inhibit RBC sickling, improve RBC deformability, and reduce whole blood viscosity.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    The pharmacodynamic effect of voxelotor treatment demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in Hb oxygen affinity as determined by the change in p50 (partial pressure of oxygen at which Hb oxygen saturation of 50% is achieved) that was linearly correlated with voxelotor exposure.

    The pharmacodynamic effect of voxelotor treatment also demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in clinical measures of hemolysis (indirect bilirubin and % reticulocytes).

    Cardiac Electrophysiology

    At plasma concentrations approximately 2-fold above therapeutic concentrations, voxelotor does not prolong QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Voxelotor is absorbed into plasma and is then distributed predominantly into RBCs due to its preferential binding to Hb. The major route of elimination of voxelotor is by metabolism with subsequent excretion of metabolites into urine and feces. The PK are linear and voxelotor exposures increased proportionally with either single or multiple doses (Table 3) in whole blood, plasma, and RBCs. Steady-state after repeated administration is reached within 8 days and exposures of voxelotor are consistent with accumulation predicted based on single dose data in patients with SCD.

    Table 3: Pharmacokinetics Parameters of Voxelotor in Plasma and Whole Blood
    PK ParameterVoxelotor 1,500 mg
    Geometric Mean (%CV)
    Plasma PK
    AUC0-24h (μg∙hr/mL)246 (27.7)
    Cmax (µg/mL)12.6 (24.8)
    Half-life (hours)35.5 (25)
    Whole Blood PK
    AUC0-24h (μg∙hr/mL)3820 (35)
    Cmax (µg/mL)179 (33.1)

    Absorption

    The median plasma and whole blood Tmax of voxelotor after oral administration is 2 hours. The mean peak concentrations in whole blood and RBCs are observed between 6 and 18 hours after oral administration.

    Effect of Food

    A high-fat, high-calorie meal increased voxelotor AUC by 42% and Cmax by 45% in whole blood relative to AUC and Cmax in the fasted state. Similarly, AUC increased by 42% and Cmax increased by 95% in plasma.

    Distribution

    Voxelotor apparent volume of distribution of the central compartment and peripheral compartment are 338 L and 72.2 L in plasma, respectively. Protein binding is 99.8% in vitro. The blood-to-plasma ratio is approximately 15:1 in patients with SCD.

    Elimination

    The geometric mean (%CV) terminal elimination half-life of voxelotor in patients with SCD is 35.5 hours (25%) with concentrations in plasma, whole blood, and RBCs declining in parallel. The apparent oral clearance of voxelotor was estimated as 6.7 L/h in plasma in patients with SCD.

    Metabolism

    In vitro and in vivo studies indicate that voxelotor is extensively metabolized through Phase I (oxidation and reduction), Phase II (glucuronidation) and combinations of Phase I and II metabolism. Oxidation of voxelotor is mediated primarily by CYP3A4, with minor contribution from CYP2C19, CYP2B6, and CYP2C9.

    Excretion

    Following the administration of radiolabeled voxelotor, approximately 62.6% of the dose and its metabolites are excreted into feces (33.3% unchanged) and 35.5% in urine (0.08% unchanged).

    Specific Populations

    No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of voxelotor were observed based on age (12 to 59 years), sex, body weight (28 to 135 kg), or mild to severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 15-89 mL/min).

    Pediatric Patients

    The pharmacokinetic parameters of voxelotor were similar in pediatric patients 12 to <17 years and adults.

    Patients with Renal Impairment

    There was no clinically significant effect of renal function on the excretion of voxelotor. Following a single 900 mg dose of voxelotor, whole blood exposures in subjects with severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2) were 25% lower compared to healthy controls.

    The unbound plasma concentrations were comparable. OXBRYTA has not been evaluated in patients with end stage renal disease requiring dialysis.

    Patients with Hepatic Impairment

    The voxelotor AUC in whole blood were 14% and 15% higher in subjects with mild and moderate hepatic impairment (Child Pugh A and B) and 90% higher in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh C) compared to subjects with normal hepatic function.

    Patients with HbSC Genotype

    Voxelotor steady state whole blood AUC and Cmax were 50% and 45% higher in HbSC genotype patients (n=11) compared to HbSS genotype (n=220) patients and voxelotor steady state plasma AUC and Cmax were 23% and 15% higher in HbSC genotype patients compared to HbSS genotype patients.

    Drug Interaction Studies

    Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches

    Effect of Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors on Voxelotor: concomitant use of OXBRYTA with ketoconazole is predicted to increase voxelotor AUC in patients by 42% to 83%.

    Effect of Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers on Voxelotor: concomitant use of OXBRYTA with rifampin (a strong CYP3A4 inducer) is predicted to decrease voxelotor AUC in patients by up to 77%, and efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A4 inducer) is predicted to decrease voxelotor AUC in patients by up to 60%.

    Effect of Fluconazole on Voxelotor: concomitant use of OXBRYTA with fluconazole, a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, a moderate CYP2C9 inhibitor and a strong CYP2C19 inhibitor, is predicted to increase voxelotor AUC in patients by 40% to 116%.

    Effect of Acid Reducing Agents on Voxelotor: co-administration of omeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) with OXBRYTA did not alter voxelotor exposure.

    Effect of Voxelotor on CYP450 Enzymes: in vivo voxelotor inhibits CYP3A4, but not CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2C8, or CYP2D6. The observed exposure increase of the CYP3A4 substrate midazolam in healthy subjects was 1.6-fold and the predicted increase in patients after multiple dosing is 2-fold.

    Effect of Voxelotor on P-gp: concomitant use of OXBRYTA with digoxin (a P-gp substrate) did not alter digoxin to a clinically relevant extent.

    In Vitro Studies

    CYP Enzymes: voxelotor is a reversible and time-dependent inhibitor as well as an inducer of CYP2B6.

    Transporter Systems: voxelotor is not an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT2, OAT1, OAT3, MATE1, MATE2-K, or BSEP. Voxelotor is not a substrate of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1A2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, or BSEP.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Voxelotor was not carcinogenic in a 26-week study in RasH2 transgenic mice at oral doses of 30, 150, or 500 mg/kg/day.

    Voxelotor was not genotoxic in the reverse mutation bacterial (Ames) test, rat Comet assay, or rat micronucleus assay.

    In a fertility and early embryonic development study, voxelotor was administered orally to rats at 15, 50, and 250 mg/kg/day. Males were dosed 28 days prior to mating through cohabitation and females were dosed 14 days prior to mating through gestation Day 7. Voxelotor had no effect on fertility or reproductive function. Sperm motility was decreased and changes in sperm morphology occurred at 250 mg/kg/day (approximately 5-times the human exposure at 1,500 mg/day).

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    The efficacy and safety of OXBRYTA in sickle cell disease (SCD) was evaluated in HOPE, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial [NCT 03036813]. In this study, 274 patients were randomized to daily oral administration of OXBRYTA 1,500 mg (N=90), OXBRYTA 900 mg (N=92), or placebo (N=92). Patients were included if they had from 1 to 10 vasoocclusive crisis (VOC) events within 12 months prior to enrollment and baseline hemoglobin (Hb) ≥5.5 to ≤10.5 g/dL. Eligible patients on stable doses of hydroxyurea for at least 90 days were allowed to continue hydroxyurea therapy throughout the study. Randomization was stratified by patients already receiving hydroxyurea (yes, no), geographic region (North America, Europe, Other), and age (12 to <17 years, 18 to 65 years). The trial excluded patients who received red blood cell (RBC) transfusions within 60 days and erythropoietin within 28 days of enrollment, had renal insufficiency, uncontrolled liver disease, were pregnant, or lactating.

    The majority of patients had HbSS or HbS/beta0-thalassemia genotype (90%) and were receiving background hydroxyurea therapy (65%). The median age was 24 years (range: 12 to 64 years); 46 (17%) patients were 12 to <17 years of age. Median baseline Hb was 8.5 g/dL (5.9 to 10.8 g/dL). One hundred and fifteen (42%) had 1 VOC event and 159 (58%) had 2 to 10 events within 12 months prior to enrollment.

    Efficacy was based on Hb response rate defined as a Hb increase of >1 g/dL from baseline to Week 24 in patients treated with OXBRYTA 1,500 mg versus placebo. The response rate for OXBRYTA 1,500 mg was 51.1% (46/90) compared to 6.5% (6/92) in the placebo group (p < 0.001). No outlier subgroups were observed. The distribution of Hb change from baseline for individual patients completing 24 weeks of treatment with OXBRYTA 1,500 mg or placebo is depicted in Figure 1.
