Drug Details [pdf]

  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    EVRYSDI is indicated for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in pediatric and adult patients.

  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    2.1 Important Administration Instructions

    Dose Preparation

    It is recommended that a healthcare provider discuss with the patient or caregiver how to prepare the prescribed daily dose prior to administration of the first dose [see Instructions for Use].

    Instruct patients or caregivers to prepare the dose using the reusable oral syringe provided.

    EVRYSDI must be taken immediately after it is drawn up into the oral syringe. If EVRYSDI is not taken within 5 minutes, EVRYSDI should be discarded from the oral syringe, and a new dose should be prepared.

    Dose Administration

    EVRYSDI is taken orally once daily after a meal at approximately the same time each day.

    In infants who are breastfed, EVRYSDI should be administered after breastfeeding. EVRYSDI cannot be mixed with formula or milk.

    Instruct patients to drink water after taking EVRYSDI to ensure the drug has been completely swallowed.

    If the patient is unable to swallow and has a nasogastric or gastrostomy tube, EVRYSDI can be administered via the tube. The tube should be flushed with water after delivering EVRYSDI [see Instructions for Use].

    2.2 Dosing Information

    EVRYSDI is administered orally once daily. The recommended dosage is determined by age and body weight (see Table 1).

    Table 1 Adult and Pediatric Dosing Regimen by Age and Body Weight
    Age and Body WeightRecommended Daily Dosage
    Less than 2 months of age0.15 mg/kg
    2 months to less than 2 years of age0.2 mg/kg
    2 years of age and older weighing less than 20 kg0.25 mg/kg
    2 years of age and older weighing 20 kg or more5 mg

    2.3 Missed Dose

    If a dose of EVRYSDI is missed, EVRYSDI should be administered as soon as possible if still within 6 hours of the missed dose, and the usual dosing schedule can be resumed on the next day. Otherwise, the missed dose should be skipped, and the next dose should be taken at the regularly scheduled time on the next day.

    If a dose is not fully swallowed or vomiting occurs after taking a dose of EVRYSDI, another dose should not be administered to make up for the lost dose. The patient should wait until the next day to take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time.

    2.4 Preparation of Oral Solution by Healthcare Provider

    EVRYSDI powder must be constituted to the oral solution by a pharmacist or other healthcare provider prior to dispensing to the patient.

    Preparation of the EVRYSDI Oral Solution 0.75 mg/mL

    The EVRYSDI "Instructions for Constitution" booklet contains more detailed instructions on the preparation of the oral solution [see Instructions for Constitution].

    Caution should be exercised in the handling of EVRYSDI powder for oral solution. Avoid inhalation and direct contact with skin or mucous membranes with the dry powder and the constituted solution. If such contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water; rinse eyes with water. Wear disposable gloves during the preparation and cleanup procedure.

    1. Gently tap the bottom of the closed glass bottle to loosen the powder.
    2. Remove the cap. Do not throw away the cap.
    3. Carefully pour 79 mL of Purified Water into the EVRYSDI bottle to yield the 0.75 mg/mL oral solution. Do not mix EVRYSDI with formula or milk.
    4. Insert the Press-In bottle adapter into the bottle opening by pushing it down against the bottle lip. Ensure it is completely pressed against the bottle lip.
    5. Re-cap the bottle tightly and shake well for 15 seconds. Wait for 10 minutes. You should have obtained a clear solution. If not, shake well again for another 15 seconds.
    6. Write the date of expiration of the constituted oral solution (calculated as 64 days after constitution) and the lot number on the bottle label. Peel off the part of the bottle label that has the expiration date of the powder.
    7. Put the bottle back in its original carton.
    8. Select the appropriate oral syringes (1 mL, 6 mL, or 12 mL) based on the patient's dosage and remove the other oral syringes from the carton.
    9. Dispense with the "Instructions for Use" and FDA-approved patient labeling. Alert patients to read the important handling information described in the Instructions for Use.

    Keep the constituted oral solution of EVRYSDI in the original amber bottle to protect from light. Store in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion 64 days after constitution. Keep the bottle in an upright position with the cap tightly closed.

    None.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    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 clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

    In clinical trials including patients with infantile-onset SMA, later-onset SMA, and pre-symptomatic SMA, a total of 491 patients (51% female, 74% Caucasian) were exposed to EVRYSDI for up to a median duration of 48.1 months (range: 0.6 to 63.4 months), with 231 patients receiving treatment for more than 24 months. At the time of first EVRYSDI dose, 90 (18%) patients were 18 years and older, 119 (24%) were 12 years to less than 18 years, 189 (39%) were 2 years to less than 12 years, 67 (14%) 2 months to less than 2 years, and 26 (5%) were less than 2 months.

    Clinical Trial in Later-Onset SMA

    The safety of EVRYSDI for later-onset SMA is based on data from a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study (Study 2 Part 2) in patients with SMA Type 2 or 3 (n = 180) [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. The patient population in Study 2 Part 2 ranged in age from 2 to 25 years at the time of the first dose.

    The most common adverse reactions (reported in at least 10% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and at an incidence greater than on placebo) in Study 2 Part 2 were fever, diarrhea, and rash. Table 2 lists the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 5% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and at an incidence ≥ 5% greater than on placebo in Study 2 Part 2.

    Clinical Trial in Infantile-Onset SMA

    The safety of EVRYSDI therapy for infantile-onset SMA is based on data from an open-label study in 62 patients (Study 1) [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The patient population ranged in age from 2 to 7 months at the time of the first EVRYSDI dose (weight range 4.1 to 10.6 kg).

    The most frequent adverse reactions reported in infantile-onset SMA patients treated with EVRYSDI in Study 1 were similar to those observed in later-onset SMA patients in Study 2. Additionally, the following adverse reactions reported in ≥ 10% of patients were: upper respiratory tract infection (including nasopharyngitis, rhinitis), lower respiratory tract infection (including pneumonia, bronchitis), constipation, vomiting, and cough.

    Clinical Trial in Pre-Symptomatic SMA

    The safety of EVRYSDI therapy for pre-symptomatic SMA is based on data from an open-label, single-arm study in 26 patients (Study 3) [see Clinical Studies (14.3)]. The patient population ranged in age from 16 to 41 days at the time of the first dose (weight range 3.1 to 5.7 kg). The safety profile of EVRYSDI in pre-symptomatic patients in Study 3 is consistent with the safety profile for symptomatic SMA patients treated with EVRYSDI in clinical trials.

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    7.1 Effect of EVRYSDI on Substrates of Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion (MATE) Protein Transporters

    Based on in vitro data, EVRYSDI may increase plasma concentrations of drugs eliminated via MATE1 or MATE2-K [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], such as metformin. Avoid coadministration of EVRYSDI with MATE substrates. If coadministration cannot be avoided, monitor for drug-related toxicities and consider dosage reduction of the coadministered drug (based on the labeling of that drug) if needed.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Pregnancy Exposure Registry

    There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy and fetal/neonatal/infant outcomes in women exposed to EVRYSDI during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients and pregnant women are encouraged to register themselves by calling 1-833-760-1098 or visiting https://www.evrysdipregnancyregistry.com.

    Risk Summary

    There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of EVRYSDI in pregnant women. In animal studies, administration of risdiplam during pregnancy or throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in adverse effects on development (embryofetal mortality, malformations, decreased fetal body weights, and reproductive impairment in offspring) at or above clinically relevant drug exposures [see Data].

    The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defect and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Based on animal data, advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus.

    Data

    Animal Data

    Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 3, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats throughout organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weights and increased incidences of fetal structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was not associated with maternal toxicity. The no-effect level for adverse effects on embryofetal development (3 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) approximately 2 times that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 5 mg.

    Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 4, or 12 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits throughout organogenesis resulted in embryofetal mortality, fetal malformations (hydrocephaly), and structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity. The no-effect dose for adverse effects on embryofetal development (4 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) approximately 4 times that in humans at the MRHD.

    When risdiplam (0, 0.75, 1.5, or 3 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation, gestation was prolonged in the dams, and delayed sexual maturation (vaginal opening) and impaired reproductive function (decreased numbers of corpora lutea, implantation sites, and live embryos) were observed in female offspring at the highest dose. The no-effect dose for adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development in rats (1.5 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) similar to that in humans at the MRHD.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    There are no data on the presence of risdiplam in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Risdiplam was excreted in the milk of lactating rats orally administered risdiplam.

    The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for EVRYSDI and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from EVRYSDI or from the underlying maternal condition.

    8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

    Studies of risdiplam in juvenile and adult rats and in monkeys demonstrated adverse effects on the reproductive organs, including germ cells, in males at clinically-relevant plasma exposures [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

    Pregnancy Testing

    Pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating EVRYSDI [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

    Contraception

    EVRYSDI may cause embryofetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

    Female Patients

    Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with EVRYSDI and for at least 1 month after her last dose.

    Infertility

    Male Patients

    Male fertility may be compromised by treatment with EVRYSDI [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

    Counsel male patients of reproductive potential receiving EVRYSDI about the potential effects on fertility. Male patients may consider sperm preservation prior to treatment.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and effectiveness of EVRYSDI in pediatric patients (neonates and older) have been established. Use of EVRYSDI for SMA is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of EVRYSDI in patients 2 months of age and older with SMA. Use of EVRYSDI for SMA in patients 2 months of age and younger is supported by pharmacokinetic and safety data from pediatric patients 16 days and older, and pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation to identify the dosing regimen [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14)].

    Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data

    Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 0.75, 1.5, 2.5 mg/kg/day) to young rats from postnatal day (PND) 4 through PND 31 resulted in decreased growth (body weight, tibia length) and delayed sexual maturation in males at the mid and high dose. The skeletal and body weight deficits persisted after cessation of dosing. Ophthalmic changes consisting of vacuoles in the anterior vitreous were seen at the high dose. Decreases in absolute B lymphocyte counts were observed at all doses after cessation of dosing. Decreases in testis and epididymis weights, which correlated with degeneration of the seminiferous epithelium in the testis, occurred at the mid and high doses; the histopathology findings were reversible, but organ weight persisted after cessation of dosing. Impaired female reproductive performance (decreased mating index, fertility index, and conception rate) was observed at the high dose. A no-effect dose for adverse developmental effects on preweaning rats was not identified. The lowest dose tested (0.75 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma exposures (AUC) lower than that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 5 mg/day.

    Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 3, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) to young rats from PND 22 through PND 112 produced a marked increase in micronuclei in the bone marrow, male reproductive organ histopathology (degeneration/necrosis of the seminiferous tubule epithelium, oligo/aspermia in the epididymis, spermatic granulomas), and adverse effects on sperm parameters (decreased sperm concentration and motility, increased sperm morphology abnormalities) at the highest dose tested. Increases in T lymphocytes (total, helper, and cytotoxic) were observed at the mid and high doses. The reproductive and immune effects persisted after cessation of dosing. The no-effect dose (1 mg/kg/day) for adverse effects on postweaning juvenile rats was associated with plasma exposures (AUC) lower than that in humans at the MRHD.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Clinical studies of EVRYSDI did not include patients aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    EVRYSDI for oral solution contains risdiplam, which is a survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2)-directed RNA splicing modifier.

    The chemical name of risdiplam is 7-(4,7-diazaspiro[2.5]octan-7-yl)-2-(2,8 dimethylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)pyrido-4H-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one. Risdiplam has a molecular weight of 401.46 g/mol.

    The molecular formula of risdiplam is C22H23N7O and the chemical structure is shown below.

    Chemical Structure

    EVRYSDI is supplied as a powder in an amber glass bottle. Each bottle contains 60 mg of risdiplam. The inactive ingredients of EVRYSDI are: ascorbic acid, disodium edetate dihydrate, isomalt, mannitol, polyethylene glycol 6000, sodium benzoate, strawberry flavor, sucralose, and tartaric acid.

    The powder is constituted with purified water to yield 60 mg/80 mL (0.75 mg/mL) of risdiplam after constitution [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Risdiplam is a survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2) splicing modifier designed to treat patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) caused by mutations in chromosome 5q that lead to SMN protein deficiency. Using in vitro assays and studies in transgenic animal models of SMA, risdiplam was shown to increase exon 7 inclusion in SMN2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) transcripts and production of full-length SMN protein in the brain.

    In vitro and in vivo data indicate that risdiplam may cause alternative splicing of additional genes, including FOXM1 and MADD. FOXM1 and MADD are thought to be involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis, respectively, and have been identified as possible contributors to adverse effects seen in animals.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    In clinical trials for infantile-onset SMA and later-onset SMA patients, EVRYSDI led to an increase in SMN protein with a greater than 2-fold median change from baseline within 4 weeks of treatment initiation across all SMA types studied. The increase was sustained throughout the treatment period (of at least 24 months).

    Cardiac Electrophysiology

    At the maximum recommended dose, clinically significant QTc interval prolongation was not observed.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Pharmacokinetics of EVRYSDI have been characterized in healthy adult subjects and in patients with SMA.

    After administration of EVRYSDI as an oral solution, pharmacokinetics of risdiplam were approximately linear between 0.6 and 18 mg in a single-ascending-dose study in healthy adult subjects, and between 0.02 and 0.25 mg/kg once daily in a multiple-ascending-dose study in patients with SMA. Following once-daily oral administration of risdiplam in healthy subjects, approximately 3-fold accumulation of peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-24h) was observed. Risdiplam exposures reach steady state 7 to 14 days after once-daily administration.

    Absorption

    Following oral administration, the time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) is between 1 and 4 hours.

    Effect of Food

    In the clinical efficacy studies (Study 1 and Study 2), risdiplam was administered with a morning meal or after breastfeeding.

    Distribution

    The apparent volume of distribution at steady state is 190.4 L for a 31.3 kg patient.

    Risdiplam is predominantly bound to serum albumin, without any binding to alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, with a free fraction of 11%.

    Elimination

    The apparent clearance (CL/F) of risdiplam is 2.45 L/h for a 31.3 kg patient.

    The terminal elimination half-life of risdiplam was approximately 50 hours in healthy adults.

    Metabolism

    Risdiplam is primarily metabolized by flavin monooxygenase 1 and 3 (FMO1 and FMO3) and also by CYPs 1A1, 2J2, 3A4, and 3A7.

    Parent drug was the major component found in plasma, accounting for 83% of drug-related material in circulation. The pharmacologically-inactive metabolite M1 was identified as the major circulating metabolite.

    Excretion

    Following a dose of 18 mg, approximately 53% of the dose (14% unchanged risdiplam) was excreted in the feces and 28% in urine (8% unchanged risdiplam).

    Specific Populations

    There were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of EVRYSDI based on race or gender. Renal impairment is not expected to alter the exposures to risdiplam.

    The impact of geriatric age on the pharmacokinetics of EVRYSDI has not been studied.

    Hepatic Impairment

    The pharmacokinetics and safety of risdiplam have been studied in subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (as defined by Child-Pugh class A and B, respectively, n = 8 each) compared to subjects with normal hepatic function (n=10). Following the administration of 5 mg EVRYSDI, the AUCinf and Cmax of risdiplam were approximately 20% and 5% lower, respectively, in subjects with mild hepatic impairment and were approximately 8% and 20% higher, respectively, in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment, versus matched healthy control subjects. The magnitude of these changes is not considered to be clinically meaningful. The pharmacokinetics and safety in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) have not been studied.

    Pediatric Patients

    Body weight and age were found to have significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of risdiplam. The estimated exposure (mean AUC0-24h) in pre-symptomatic infants at the age of 1 to 2 months was 2090 ng.h/mL at the recommended dose of 0.15 mg/kg once daily. The estimated exposure for infantile-onset SMA patients (age 2 to 7 months at enrollment) at the recommended dose of 0.2 mg/kg once daily was 1930 ng.h/mL. The estimated exposure for later-onset SMA patients (2 to 25 years old at enrollment) at the recommended dose was 2070 ng.h/mL (0.25 mg/kg once daily for patients with a body weight < 20 kg and 5 mg once daily for patients with a body weight ≥ 20 kg).

    No data on risdiplam pharmacokinetics are available in patients less than 16 days of age [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].

    Drug Interaction Studies

    Effect of Other Drugs on EVRYSDI

    Coadministration of 200 mg itraconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor) twice daily with a single 6 mg oral dose of risdiplam did not have a clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of risdiplam (11% increase in AUC and 9% decrease in Cmax).

    Risdiplam is a weak substrate of human MDR-1 and breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP) transporters in vitro. Human MDR-1 or BCRP inhibitors are not expected to result in a clinically significant increase of risdiplam concentrations.

    Effect of EVRYSDI on Other Drugs

    Risdiplam and its major circulating metabolite M1 did not induce CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4 in vitro. Risdiplam and M1 did not inhibit (reversible or time-dependent inhibition) any of the CYP enzymes tested (CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6), with the exception of CYP3A in vitro.

    EVRYSDI is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A. In healthy adult subjects, administration of EVRYSDI once daily for 2 weeks slightly increased the exposure of midazolam, a sensitive CYP3A substrate (AUC 11%; Cmax 16%); this increase is not considered clinically relevant. Based on physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, a similar increase is expected in children and infants as young as 2 months of age.

    In vitro studies have shown that risdiplam and its major metabolite are not significant inhibitors of human MDR1, organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1, OATP1B3, organic anion transporter 1 and 3 (OAT 1 and 3) transporters, and human organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), at clinically relevant concentrations. Risdiplam and its metabolite are, however, in vitro inhibitors of the multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) 1 and MATE2-K transporters [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Carcinogenesis

    Risdiplam was not carcinogenic in Tg.rasH2 mice when administered at oral doses of up to 9 mg/kg/day for 26 weeks.

    In a 2-year carcinogenicity study in rats, oral administration of risdiplam (0, 0.3, 1, or 3 mg/kg/day) resulted in increased incidences of preputial gland squamous cell carcinomas in males and combined thyroid follicular cell adenomas and carcinomas in females at the highest dose tested. The higher dose not associated with an increase in tumors (1 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma drug exposures (AUC) similar to that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 5 mg/day.

    Mutagenesis

    Risdiplam was negative in an in vitro Ames assay. In an in vivo combined bone marrow micronucleus and comet assay in rat, risdiplam was clastogenic, as evidenced by an increase in micronuclei in bone marrow, but was negative in the comet assay. A pronounced increase in bone marrow micronuclei was also observed in toxicity studies in adult and juvenile rats [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].

    Impairment of Fertility

    Oral administration of risdiplam to rats for 4 (0, 1, 3, or 9 mg/kg/day) or 26 (0, 1, 3, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) weeks resulted in histopathological effects in the testis (degenerated spermatocytes, degeneration/atrophy of the seminiferous tubules) and epididymis (degeneration/necrosis of ductular epithelium) at the mid and/or high doses. At the high dose in the 26-week study, the testicular lesions persisted to the end of the recovery period, which corresponds, in rat, to approximately one spermatogenic cycle. The no-effect dose for adverse reproductive system effects in adult male rats (1 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma drug exposures (AUC) similar to that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 5 mg/day.

    Adverse effects of risdiplam on the testis could not be fully evaluated in the monkey because the majority of monkeys tested were sexually immature. However, oral administration of risdiplam (0, 2, 4, or 6 mg/kg/day) for 2 weeks resulted in histopathological changes in the testis (increases in multinucleate cells, germ cell degeneration) at the highest dose. At the no-effect dose for testicular toxicity in monkeys, plasma exposures were approximately 3 times that in humans at the MRHD.

    Oral administration of risdiplam to postweaning juvenile rats resulted in male reproductive toxicity (degeneration/necrosis of the testis seminiferous epithelium with associated oligo/aspermia in the epididymis and abnormal sperm parameters). The no-effect dose for adverse reproductive effects in postweaning male juvenile rats was associated with plasma exposures approximately 4 times that in humans at the MRHD [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].

    13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology

    Retinal toxicity

    Risdiplam-induced functional and structural retinal abnormalities were seen in animal studies. In a 39-week toxicity study in monkeys, oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1.5, 3, or 7.5/5 mg/kg/day; high dose lowered after 4 weeks) produced functional abnormalities on the electroretinogram (ERG) in all mid- and high-dose animals at the earliest examination time (Week 20). These findings were associated with retinal degeneration, detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT), on Week 22, the first examination time. The retinal degeneration, with peripheral photoreceptor loss, was irreversible. A no-effect dose for the retinal findings (1.5 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma exposures (AUC) similar to that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 5 mg.

    Effect on Epithelial Tissues

    Oral administration of risdiplam to rats and monkeys resulted in histopathological changes in epithelium of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (apoptosis/single cell necrosis), lamina propria (vacuolation), the exocrine pancreas (single cell necrosis), the skin, tongue, and larynx (parakeratosis/hyperplasia/degeneration) with associated inflammation. The skin and GI epithelial effects were reversible. The no-effect doses for effects on epithelial tissues in rats and monkeys were associated with plasma exposures (AUC) similar to that in humans at the MRHD.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    The efficacy of EVRYSDI for the treatment of patients with infantile-onset, later-onset, and pre-symptomatic SMA was evaluated in three clinical studies, Study 1 (NCT02913482) and Study 2 (NCT02908685), and Study 3 (NCT03779334), respectively.

    The overall findings of these studies support the effectiveness of EVRYSDI in SMA pediatric and adult patients and appear to support the early initiation of treatment with EVRYSDI.

    14.1 Infantile-Onset SMA

    Study 1 was an open-label, 2-part study to investigate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVRYSDI in patients with Type 1 SMA (symptom onset between 28 days and 3 months of age). All patients had genetic confirmation of homozygous deletion or compound heterozygosity predictive of loss of function of the SMN1 gene, and two SMN2 gene copies.

    Part 1 of Study 1 was designed as a dose-finding study. Part 2 of Study 1 assessed the safety and efficacy of EVRYSDI at 0.20 mg/kg, the recommended dose determined in Part 1 [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. Patients from Part 1 did not take part in Part 2.

    A total of 62 patients with symptomatic Type 1 SMA were enrolled in FIREFISH Part 1 (n=21) and Part 2 (n=41), of which 58 patients received the recommended dose. The median age of onset of clinical signs and symptoms was 1.5 months (range: 0.9 to 3.0 months). The median age at enrollment was 5.6 months (range: 2.2 to 6.9 months), and the median time between onset of symptoms and the first dose was 3.7 months (range 1.0 to 6.0 months). Of these patients, 60% were female, 57% were Caucasian, and 29% were Asian. The demographics and baseline disease characteristics were comparable between Part 1 and Part 2 of the study.

    Effectiveness was established based on the ability to sit without support for at least 5 seconds (as measured by Item 22 of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development – Third Edition (BSID-III) gross motor scale) and on the basis of survival without permanent ventilation. Permanent ventilation was defined as requiring a tracheostomy or more than 21 consecutive days of either non-invasive ventilation (≥ 16 hours per day) or intubation, in the absence of an acute reversible event.

    The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with the ability to sit without support for at least 5 seconds (BSID-III gross motor scale, Item 22) after 12 months of treatment in Part 2; 29% of patients (n=12/41) achieved this milestone.

    Other efficacy endpoints of EVRYSDI-treated patients in Study 1 (pooled Part 1 and Part 2) are shown in Table 3.

    At Month 24, 40% (23/58) of patients who received the recommended dose achieved sitting without support for 30 seconds (BSID-III, Item 26). In addition at Month 24, patients continued to achieve additional motor milestones; 28% (16/58) of patients achieved a standing measure (16% [9/58] supporting weight and 12% [7/58] standing with support), as measured by Section 2 of the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE-2) which assesses motor milestones.

    The proportion of patients alive without permanent ventilation (event-free survival) was 84% for all patients at Month 24 (Table 3). Out of 62 patients, 6 infants died (4 within the first 3 months following study enrollment) and one additional patient withdrew from treatment and died 3.5 months later. Four patients required permanent ventilation by Month 24. These results indicate a clinically meaningful deviation from the natural history of untreated infantile-onset SMA. As described in the natural history of untreated infantile-onset SMA, patients would not be expected to attain the ability to sit independently, and no more than 25% of these patients would be expected to survive without permanent ventilation beyond 14 months of age.

    14.2 Later-Onset SMA

    Study 2 was a 2-part, multicenter trial to investigate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVRYSDI in patients diagnosed with SMA Type 2 or Type 3. Part 1 of Study 2 was dose-finding and exploratory in 51 patients (14% ambulatory). Part 2 was randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and is described below.

    The primary endpoint in Study 2 Part 2 was the change from baseline to Month 12 in the Motor Function Measure 32 (MFM32) score. A key secondary endpoint was the proportion of patients with a 3-point or greater change from baseline to Month 12 in the MFM32 total score. The MFM32 measures motor function abilities that relate to daily functions. The total MFM32 score is expressed as a percentage (range: 0 to 100) of the maximum possible score, with higher scores indicating greater motor function. Another key secondary endpoint was the Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM). The RULM is a tool used to assess motor performance of the upper limb in SMA patients. It tests proximal and distal motor functions of the arm. The total score ranges from 0 (all the items cannot be performed) to 37 (all the activities are achieved fully without any compensatory maneuvers).

    Study 2 Part 2 enrolled 180 non-ambulatory patients with Type 2 (71%) or Type 3 (29%) SMA. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive EVRYSDI at the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] or placebo. Randomization was stratified by age group (2 to 5, 6 to 11, 12 to 17, or 18 to 25 years of age).

    The median age of patients at the start of treatment was 9.0 years (range 2 to 25), and the median time between onset of initial SMA symptoms and first treatment was 102.6 months (range 1 to 275). Of the 180 patients included in the trial, 51% were female, 67% were Caucasian, and 19% were Asian. At baseline, 67% of patients had scoliosis (32% of them with severe scoliosis). Patients had a mean baseline MFM32 score of 46.1, and RULM score of 20.1. Overall baseline demographic characteristics were reasonably balanced between the treatment groups (EVRYSDI and placebo), with the exception of scoliosis (63% in the EVRYSDI arm vs. 73% in the placebo group).

    The primary analysis on the change from baseline in MFM32 total score at Month 12 showed a clinically meaningful and statistically significant difference between patients treated with EVRYSDI and placebo. The results of the primary analysis and key secondary endpoints are shown in Table 4 and Figure 1.

    14.3 Pre-Symptomatic SMA

    Study 3 was an open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical study to investigate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVRYSDI in infants up to 6 weeks of age (at first dose) who have been genetically diagnosed with SMA but do not yet present with symptoms.

    The efficacy in pre-symptomatic SMA patients was evaluated at Month 12 in 26 patients treated with EVRYSDI in Study 3: 8 patients had 2 copies of the SMN2 gene, 13 patients had 3 copies, and 5 patients had 4 or more copies. The median age of these patients at first dose was 25 days (range: 16 to 41 ), 62% were female, and 85% were Caucasian. The primary efficacy population (N=5) included patients with 2 SMN2 copies and a baseline CMAP amplitude ≥1.5 mV.

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with the ability to sit without support for at least 5 seconds (BSID-III gross motor scale, Item 22) at Month 12. This milestone was achieved by 80% (4/5) of patients in the primary efficacy population. This milestone was also achieved by 87.5% (7/8) of all patients with 2 copies of SMN2 and 96.2% (25/26) of patients in the full treated population.

    At Month 12, 80.8% (21/26) of patients in the full treated population achieved sitting without support for 30 seconds (BSID-III, Item 26). Of the 26 patients treated with EVRYSDI, 25 patients had motor milestones measured by the HINE-2 at Month 12. Of these, 24 (96%) achieved sitting (23 patients could pivot/rotate and 1 achieved stable sit); 21 (84%) could stand (13 patients could stand unaided and 8 could stand with support); and 12 (48%) could walk independently. Seven patients were not tested for walking at Month 12. All 26 patients were alive at 12 months without permanent ventilation.

    Before taking EVRYSDI, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
    • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. If you are pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, ask your healthcare provider for advice before taking this medicine. EVRYSDI may harm your unborn baby.
    • are a woman who can become pregnant:
      • Before you start your treatment with EVRYSDI, your healthcare provider may test you for pregnancy. Because EVRYSDI may harm your unborn baby, you and your healthcare provider will decide if taking EVRYSDI is right for you during this time.
      • Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control methods that may be right for you. Use birth control while on treatment and for at least 1 month after stopping EVRYSDI.
      • Pregnancy Registry. There is a pregnancy registry for women who take EVRYSDI during pregnancy. The purpose of this registry is to collect information about the health of the pregnant woman and her baby. If you are pregnant or become pregnant while receiving EVRYSDI, tell your healthcare provider right away. Talk to your healthcare provider about registering with the EVRYSDI Pregnancy Registry. Your healthcare provider can enroll you in this registry or you can enroll by calling 1-833-760-1098 or visiting https://www.evrysdipregnancyregistry.com.
    • are an adult male planning to have children: EVRYSDI may affect a man's ability to have children (fertility). If this is of concern to you, make sure to ask a healthcare provider for advice.
    • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if EVRYSDI passes into breast milk and may harm your baby. If you plan to breastfeed, discuss with your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby while on treatment with EVRYSDI.
    Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Keep a list of them to show your healthcare provider, including your pharmacist, when you get a new medicine.
    How should I take EVRYSDI?
    See the detailed Instructions for Use that comes with EVRYSDI for information on how to take or give EVRYSDI oral solution.
    • You should receive EVRYSDI from the pharmacy as a liquid that can be given by mouth or through a feeding tube. The liquid solution is prepared by your pharmacist or other healthcare provider. If the medicine in the bottle is a powder, do not use it. Contact your pharmacist for a replacement.
    • Avoid getting EVRYSDI on your skin or in your eyes. If EVRYSDI gets on your skin, wash the area with soap and water. If EVRYSDI gets in your eyes, rinse your eyes with water.
    Taking EVRYSDI
    • Your healthcare provider will tell you how long you or your child needs to take EVRYSDI. Do not stop treatment with EVRYSDI unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
    • For infants and children, your healthcare provider will determine the daily dose of EVRYSDI needed based on your child's age and weight. For adults, take 5 mg of EVRYSDI daily.
      • Take EVRYSDI exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to take it. Do not change the dose without talking to your healthcare provider.
    • Take EVRYSDI 1 time daily after a meal (or after breastfeeding for a child) at approximately the same time each day. Drink water afterwards to make sure EVRYSDI has been completely swallowed.
    • Do not mix EVRYSDI with formula or milk.
    • If you are unable to swallow and have a nasogastric or gastrostomy tube, EVRYSDI can be given through the tube.
    • If you miss a dose of EVRYSDI:
      • If you remember the missed dose within 6 hours of when you normally take EVRYSDI, then take or give the dose. Continue taking EVRYSDI at your usual time the next day.
      • If you remember the missed dose more than 6 hours after you normally take EVRYSDI, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at your usual time the next day.
    • If you do not fully swallow the dose, or you vomit after taking a dose, do not take another dose of EVRYSDI to make up for that dose. Wait until the next day to take the next dose at your usual time.
    Reusable Oral Syringes
    • Your pharmacist will provide you with the reusable oral syringe(s) that are needed for taking your medicine and explain how to use them. Wash the syringes per instructions after use. Do not throw them away.
    • Use the reusable oral syringe(s) provided by your pharmacist (you should receive 1 or 2 identical oral syringes depending on your prescribed daily dose) to measure your or your child's dose of EVRYSDI, as they are designed to protect the medicine from light. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist if your oral syringe(s) are lost or damaged.
    • When transferred from the bottle to the oral syringe, take EVRYSDI right away. Do not store the EVRYSDI solution in the syringe. If EVRYSDI is not taken within 5 minutes of when it is drawn up, EVRYSDI should be thrown away from the reusable oral syringe, and a new dose should be prepared.

    Important information about EVRYSDI

    • Do not use if the powder expiration date has passed. The powder expiration date is printed on the bottle label.
    • Do not use the medicine if any of the supplies are damaged or missing.
    • Use purified water to constitute the medicine.
    • Select the appropriate oral syringes (1 mL, 6 mL, or 12 mL) based on the patient's dose and provide instruction to the patient/caregiver on how to administer their dose. The oral syringes provided in the carton are intended to be reusable.
    • Only use the amber oral syringe provided for use with EVRYSDI. Other syringes may not be compatible with the press-in-bottle adapter and may not protect the product from light.

    How to store EVRYSDI

    • Store the dry powder at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), excursions permitted between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F) [see USP controlled room temperature]. Keep in the original carton.
    • Store the constituted oral solution of EVRYSDI upright in the original amber bottle in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze.

    Important precautions for preparation of EVRYSDI

    • Avoid inhalation and direct contact with skin or mucous membranes with the dry powder and the constituted solution. If such contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water; rinse eyes with water.
    • Wear disposable gloves during the preparation and clean up procedure.
