  • BOXED WARNING (What is this?)

    WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME

    Patients treated with IDHIFA have experienced symptoms of differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal if not treated. Symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, acute respiratory distress, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural or pericardial effusions, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, lymphadenopathy, bone pain, and hepatic, renal, or multi-organ dysfunction. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, initiate corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    1.1 Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    IDHIFA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test.

  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    2.1 Patient Selection

    Select patients for the treatment of AML with IDHIFA based on the presence of IDH2 mutations in the blood or bone marrow [see Indications and Usage (1.1) and Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of IDH2 mutations in AML is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.

    2.2 Recommended Dosage

    The recommended starting dose of IDHIFA is 100 mg taken orally once daily with or without food until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. For patients without disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 months to allow time for clinical response.

    Do not split or crush IDHIFA tablets. Administer IDHIFA tablets orally about the same time each day. If a dose of IDHIFA is vomited, missed, or not taken at the usual time, administer the dose as soon as possible on the same day, and return to the normal schedule the following day.

    2.3 Monitoring and Dosage Modifications for Toxicities

    Assess blood counts and blood chemistries for leukocytosis and tumor lysis syndrome prior to the initiation of IDHIFA and monitor at a minimum of every 2 weeks for at least the first 3 months during treatment. Manage any abnormalities promptly [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

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

    Table 1: Dosage Modifications for IDHIFA-Related Toxicities
    *Grade 1 is mild, Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is serious, Grade 4 is life-threatening.
    Adverse ReactionRecommended Action
    • Differentiation syndrome
    • If differentiation syndrome is suspected, administer systemic corticosteroids and initiate hemodynamic monitoring [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
    • Interrupt IDHIFA if severe pulmonary symptoms requiring intubation or ventilator support, and/or renal dysfunction persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of corticosteroids [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
    • Resume IDHIFA when signs and symptoms improve to Grade 2* or lower.
    • Noninfectious leukocytosis (white blood cell [WBC] count greater than 30 x 109/L)
    • Initiate treatment with hydroxyurea, as per standard institutional practices.
    • Interrupt IDHIFA if leukocytosis is not improved with hydroxyurea, and then resume IDHIFA at 100 mg daily when WBC is less than 30 x 109/L.
    • Elevation of bilirubin greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) sustained for ≥2 weeks without elevated transaminases or other hepatic disorders
    • Reduce IDHIFA dose to 50 mg daily.
    • Resume IDHIFA at 100 mg daily if bilirubin elevation resolves to less than 2 x ULN.
    • Other Grade 3* or higher toxicity considered related to treatment including tumor lysis syndrome
    • Interrupt IDHIFA until toxicity resolves to Grade 2* or lower.
    • Resume IDHIFA at 50 mg daily; may increase to 100 mg daily if toxicities resolve to Grade 1* or lower.
    • If Grade 3* or higher toxicity recurs, discontinue IDHIFA.

    None.

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Differentiation Syndrome

    In the clinical trial, 14% of patients treated with IDHIFA experienced differentiation syndrome, which may be life-threatening or fatal if not treated. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells. While there is no diagnostic test for differentiation syndrome, symptoms in patients treated with IDHIFA included acute respiratory distress represented by dyspnea and/or hypoxia (68%) and need for supplemental oxygen (76%); pulmonary infiltrates (73%) and pleural effusion (45%); renal impairment (70%); fever (36%); lymphadenopathy (33%); bone pain (27%); peripheral edema with rapid weight gain (21%); and pericardial effusion (18%). Hepatic, renal, and multi-organ dysfunction have also been observed.

    Differentiation syndrome has been observed with and without concomitant hyperleukocytosis, in as early as 1 day and up to 5 months after IDHIFA initiation.

    If differentiation syndrome is suspected, initiate oral or intravenous corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg every 12 hours) and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement. Taper corticosteroids only after resolution of symptoms. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroid treatment. If severe pulmonary symptoms requiring intubation or ventilator support, and/or renal dysfunction persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of corticosteroids, interrupt IDHIFA until signs and symptoms are no longer severe [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Hospitalization for close observation and monitoring of patients with pulmonary and/or renal manifestation is recommended.

    5.2 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

    Based on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, IDHIFA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, enasidenib caused embryo-fetal toxicities starting at 0.1 times the steady state clinical exposure based on the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) at the recommended human dose. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose of IDHIFA. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose of IDHIFA. Pregnant women, patients becoming pregnant while receiving IDHIFA, or male patients with pregnant female partners should be apprised of the potential risk to the fetus [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:

    • Differentiation Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]

    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 evaluation of single-agent IDHIFA is based on 214 patients with relapsed or refractory AML who were assigned to receive 100 mg daily [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The median duration of exposure to IDHIFA was 4.3 months (range 0.3 to 23.6). The 30-day and 60-day mortality rates observed with IDHIFA were 4.2% (9/214) and 11.7% (25/214), respectively.

    The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) of any grade were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated bilirubin and decreased appetite.

    Serious adverse reactions were reported in 77.1% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (≥2%) were leukocytosis (10%), diarrhea (6%), nausea (5%), vomiting (3%), decreased appetite (3%), tumor lysis syndrome (5%), and differentiation syndrome (8%). Differentiation syndrome events characterized as serious included pyrexia, renal failure acute, hypoxia, respiratory failure, and multi-organ failure.

    Overall, 92 of 214 patients (43%) required a dose interruption due to an adverse reaction; the most common adverse reactions leading to dose interruption were differentiation syndrome (4%) and leukocytosis (3%). Ten of 214 patients (5%) required a dose reduction due to an adverse reaction; no adverse reaction required dose reduction in more than 2 patients. Thirty-six of 214 patients (17%) permanently discontinued IDHIFA due to an adverse reaction; the most common adverse reaction leading to permanent discontinuation was leukocytosis (1%).

    Adverse reactions reported in the trial are shown in Table 2.

    Elevated Bilirubin

    IDHIFA may interfere with bilirubin metabolism through inhibition of UGT1A1 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Thirty-seven percent of patients (80/214) experienced total bilirubin elevations ≥2 x ULN at least one time. Of those patients who experienced total bilirubin elevations ≥2 x ULN, 35% had elevations within the first month of treatment, and 89% had no concomitant elevation of transaminases or other severe adverse events related to liver disorders. No patients required a dose reduction for hyperbilirubinemia; treatment was interrupted in 3.7% of patients, for a median of 6 days. Three patients (1.4%) discontinued IDHIFA permanently due to hyperbilirubinemia.

    Noninfectious Leukocytosis

    IDHIFA can induce myeloid proliferation resulting in a rapid increase in white blood cell count.

    Tumor Lysis Syndrome

    IDHIFA can induce myeloid proliferation resulting in a rapid reduction in tumor cells which may pose a risk for tumor lysis syndrome.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    Based on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, IDHIFA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on IDHIFA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. In animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, oral administration of enasidenib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis was associated with embryo-fetal mortality and alterations to growth starting at 0.1 times the steady state clinical exposure based on the AUC at the recommended human dose (see Data). If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, advise the patient of the potential risk to a fetus.

    Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.

    Data

    Animal Data

    Enasidenib administered to pregnant rats at a dose of 30 mg/kg twice daily during organogenesis (gestation days 6-17) was associated with maternal toxicity and adverse embryo-fetal effects including post-implantation loss, resorptions, decreased viable fetuses, lower fetal birth weights, and skeletal variations. These effects occurred in rats at approximately 1.6 times the clinical exposure at the recommended human daily dose of 100 mg/day.

    In pregnant rabbits treated during organogenesis (gestation days 7-19), enasidenib was maternally toxic at doses equal to 5 mg/kg/day or higher (exposure approximately 0.1 to 0.6 times the steady state clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose) and caused spontaneous abortions at 5 mg/kg/day (exposure approximately 0.1 times the steady state clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose).

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    There are no data on the presence of enasidenib or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose.

    8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

    Pregnancy Testing

    Based on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, IDHIFA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

    Obtain a pregnancy test on females of reproductive potential prior to starting treatment with IDHIFA.

    Contraception

    Females

    Advise females of reproductive potential to avoid becoming pregnant while receiving IDHIFA. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose. Coadministration of IDHIFA may increase or decrease the concentrations of combined hormonal contraceptives. The clinical significance of this potential drug interaction is unknown at this time.

    Males

    Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose of IDHIFA.

    Infertility

    Based on findings in animals, IDHIFA may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential. It is not known whether these effects on fertility are reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    No dosage adjustment is required for IDHIFA based on age. In the clinical study, 61% of 214 patients were aged 65 years or older, while 24% were older than 75 years. No overall differences in effectiveness or safety were observed between patients aged 65 years or older and younger patients.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Enasidenib is a small molecule inhibitor of the isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) enzyme. Enasidenib targets the mutant IDH2 variants R140Q, R172S, and R172K at approximately 40-fold lower concentrations than the wild-type enzyme in vitro. Inhibition of the mutant IDH2 enzyme by enasidenib led to decreased 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) levels and induced myeloid differentiation in vitro and in vivo in mouse xenograft models of IDH2 mutated AML. In blood samples from patients with AML with mutated IDH2, enasidenib decreased 2-HG levels, reduced blast counts and increased percentages of mature myeloid cells.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Cardiac Electrophysiology

    The potential for QTc prolongation with enasidenib was evaluated in an open-label study in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies with an IDH2 mutation. Based on the QTc data for a single dose of 30 mg to 650 mg and multiple doses of 100 mg daily in the fasted state, no large mean changes in the QTc interval (>20 ms) were observed following treatment with enasidenib.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    The peak plasma concentration (Cmax) is 1.4 mcg/mL [% coefficient of variation (CV%) 50.2] after a single dose of 100 mg, and 13.1 mcg/mL (CV% 44.8) at steady state for 100 mg daily. The area under concentration time curve (AUC) of enasidenib increases in an approximately dose proportional manner from 50 mg (0.5 times approved recommended dosage) to 450 mg (4.5 times approved recommended dosage) daily dose. Steady-state plasma levels are reached within 29 days of once-daily dosing. Accumulation is approximately 10-fold when administered once daily.

    Absorption

    The absolute bioavailability after 100 mg oral dose of enasidenib is approximately 57%. After a single oral dose, the median time to Cmax (Tmax) is 4 hours.

    Distribution

    The mean volume of distribution (Vd) of enasidenib is 55.8 L (CV% 29). Human plasma protein binding of enasidenib is 98.5% and of its metabolite AGI-16903 is 96.6% in vitro.

    Enasidenib is not a substrate for P-glycoprotein or BCRP, while AGI-16903 is a substrate of both P-glycoprotein and BCRP. Enasidenib and AGI-16903 are not substrates of MRP2, OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OCT2.

    Elimination

    Enasidenib has a terminal half-life of 7.9 days and a mean total body clearance (CL/F) of 0.70 L/hour (CV% 62.5).

    Metabolism

    Enasidenib accounted for 89% of the radioactivity in circulation and AGI-16903, the N-dealkylated metabolite, represented 10% of the circulating radioactivity.

    In vitro studies suggest that metabolism of enasidenib is mediated by multiple CYP enzymes (e.g., CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4), and by multiple UGTs (e.g., UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A4, UGT1A9, UGT2B7, and UGT2B15). Further metabolism of the metabolite AGI-16903 is also mediated by multiple enzymes (e.g., CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, UGT1A1, UGT1A3, and UGT1A9).

    Excretion

    Eighty-nine percent (89%) of enasidenib is eliminated in feces and 11% in the urine. Excretion of unchanged enasidenib accounts for 34% of the radiolabeled drug in the feces and 0.4% in the urine.

    Specific Populations

    No clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of enasidenib was observed for the following covariates: age (19 years to 100 years), race (White, Black, or Asian), mild hepatic impairment [defined as total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate transaminase (AST) >ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST], renal impairment (defined as creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula), sex, body weight (39 kg to 136 kg), and body surface area.

    Drug Interaction Studies

    In vitro studies suggest that enasidenib inhibits the activity of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and UGT1A1. Enasidenib inhibits P-gp, BCRP, OAT1, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OCT2, but not MRP2 or OAT3. Enasidenib induces CYP2B6 and CYP3A4.

    In vitro studies suggest that the metabolite AGI-16903 inhibits the activity of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6. AGI-16903 inhibits BCRP, OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, and OCT2, but not P-gp, MRP2, or OATP1B3.

    Coadministration of IDHIFA may increase or decrease the concentrations of combined hormonal contraceptives. The clinical significance of this potential drug interaction is unknown at this time.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Carcinogenicity studies have not been performed with enasidenib.

    Enasidenib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Enasidenib was not clastogenic in an in vitro human lymphocyte chromosomal aberration assay, or in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.

    Fertility studies in animals have not been conducted with enasidenib. In repeat-dose toxicity studies with twice daily oral administration of enasidenib in rats up to 90-days in duration, changes were reported in male and female reproductive organs including seminiferous tubular degeneration, hypospermia, atrophy of the seminal vesicle and prostate, decreased corpora lutea and increased atretic follicles in the ovaries, and atrophy in the uterus.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    14.1 Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    The efficacy of IDHIFA was evaluated in an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, two-cohort clinical trial (Study AG221-C-001, NCT01915498) of 199 adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML and an IDH2 mutation, who were assigned to receive 100 mg daily dose. Cohort 1 included 101 patients and Cohort 2 included 98 patients. IDH2 mutations were identified by a local diagnostic test and retrospectively confirmed by the Abbott RealTime IDH2 assay, or prospectively identified by the Abbott RealTime IDH2 assay, which is the FDA-approved test for selection of patients with AML for treatment with IDHIFA. IDHIFA was given orally at starting dose of 100 mg daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Dose reductions were allowed to manage adverse events.

    The baseline demographic and disease characteristics are shown in Table 4. The baseline demographics and disease characteristics were similar in both study cohorts.

    Efficacy was established on the basis of the rate of complete response (CR)/complete response with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), the duration of CR/CRh, and the rate of conversion from transfusion dependence to transfusion independence. The efficacy results are shown in Table 5 and were similar in both cohorts. The median follow-up was 6.6 months (range, 0.4 to 27.7 months). Similar CR/CRh rates were observed in patients with either R140 or R172 mutation.

    a CR (complete remission) was defined as <5% of blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and full recovery of peripheral blood counts (platelets >100,000/microliter and absolute neutrophil counts [ANC] >1,000/microliter).
    b DOR (duration of response) was defined as time since first response of CR or CRh to relapse or death, whichever is earlier.
    c CRh (complete remission with partial hematological recovery) was defined as <5% of blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and partial recovery of peripheral blood counts (platelets >50,000/microliter and ANC >500/microliter).

    For patients who achieved a CR/CRh, the median time to first response was 1.9 months (range, 0.5 to 7.5 months) and the median time to best response of CR/CRh was 3.7 months (range, 0.6 to 11.2 months). Of the 46 patients who achieved a best response of CR/CRh, 39 (85%) did so within 6 months of initiating IDHIFA.

    Among the 157 patients who were dependent on red blood cell (RBC) and/or platelet transfusions at baseline, 53 (34%) became independent of RBC and platelet transfusions during any 56-day post baseline period. Of the 42 patients who were independent of both RBC and platelet transfusions at baseline, 32 (76%) remained transfusion independent during any 56-day post baseline period.

  • 17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

    Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide).

    Differentiation Syndrome

    Advise patients on the risks of developing differentiation syndrome as early as 1 day and during the first 5 months on treatment. Ask patients to immediately report any symptoms suggestive of differentiation syndrome, such as fever, cough or difficulty breathing, bone pain, rapid weight gain or swelling of their arms or legs, to their healthcare provider for further evaluation [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

    Tumor Lysis Syndrome

    Advise patients on the risks of developing tumor lysis syndrome. Advise patients on the importance of maintaining high fluid intake, and the need for frequent monitoring of blood chemistry values [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

    Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions

    Advise patients on risk of experiencing gastrointestinal reactions such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and changes in their sense of taste. Ask patients to report these events to their healthcare provider, and advise patients how to manage them [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

    Elevated Blood Bilirubin

    Inform patients that taking IDHIFA may cause elevated blood bilirubin, which is due to its mechanism of action, and not due to liver damage. Advise patients to report any changes to the color of their skin or the whites of their eyes to their healthcare provider for further evaluation [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

    Embryo-Fetal Toxicity and Use of Contraceptives

    Advise female patients with reproductive potential to use effective contraceptive methods while receiving IDHIFA and to avoid pregnancy while on treatment and for 2 months after completion of treatment. Advise patients to notify their healthcare provider immediately in the event of a pregnancy or if pregnancy is suspected during IDHIFA treatment. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose of IDHIFA. Coadministration of IDHIFA may increase or decrease the concentrations of combined hormonal contraceptives. The clinical significance of this potential drug interaction is unknown at this time [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Use in Specific Populations (8.3)].

    Lactation

    Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the final dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].

    Dosing and Storage Instructions

    • Advise patients not to chew or split the tablets but swallow whole with a cup of water.
    • Instruct patients that if they miss a dose or vomit after a dose of IDHIFA, to take it as soon as possible on the same day and return to normal schedule the following day. Warn patients not to take 2 doses to make up for the missed dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
    • Keep IDHIFA in the original container. Keep the container tightly closed with desiccant canister inside to protect the tablets from moisture [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16.2)].

    What is the most important information I should know about IDHIFA?

      • If you are able to become pregnant, your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start taking IDHIFA.
      • Females who are able to become pregnant and who take IDHIFA should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after your last dose of IDHIFA.
      • Males who have female partners that are able to become pregnant should use effective birth control during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after your last dose of IDHIFA.
      • IDHIFA may affect how hormonal contraceptives work and may cause them to not work as well.

    • Your healthcare provider should do blood tests to check your blood counts before you start IDHIFA treatment and at a minimum of every 2 weeks for at least the first 3 months during treatment to check for side effects.
