Drug Information

Mechanism of Action

12.1 Mechanism of Action Vorasidenib is a small molecule inhibitor that targets isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) enzymes. In vitro, vorasidenib inhibited the IDH1 wild type and mutant variants, including R132H and the IDH2 wild type and mutant variants. In cell-based and in vivo tumor models expressing IDH1 or IDH2 mutated proteins, vorasidenib decreased production of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) and partially restored cellular differentiation.

Indications & Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE VORANIGO is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) or isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation, as detected by an FDA-approved test, following surgery including biopsy, sub-total resection, or gross total resection [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) and Clinical Studies (14) ] .

Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common (≥15%) adverse reactions include fatigue, headache, COVID-19, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and seizure. Grade 3 or 4 (≥2%) laboratory abnormalities were ALT increased, AST increased, GGT increased, and neutrophils decreased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Servier Pharmaceuticals at 1-800-807-6124 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 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. Adverse reactions described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to VORANIGO 40 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in the 244 patients with astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with susceptible IDH1 or IDH2 mutation in trials AG881-C-002 (NCT02481154, n=11), AG120-881-001 (NCT03343197, n=14) and INDIGO (NCT04164901, n=167 randomized patients and n=52 crossover patients). Among the 244 patients who received VORANIGO, 78% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 44% were exposed for greater than one year. In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥15%) adverse reactions were fatigue (33%), headache (28%), COVID-19 (28%), musculoskeletal pain (24%), diarrhea (21%), nausea (20%), and seizure (16%). In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥2%) Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities were increased ALT (9%), increased AST (4.8%), increased GGT (2.2%), and decreased neutrophils (2.2%). INDIGO The safety of VORANIGO was evaluated in 330 patients with Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation who received at least one dose of either VORANIGO 40 mg daily (N=167) or placebo (N=163) in the INDIGO trial [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Patients received VORANIGO 40 mg orally once daily or placebo orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among the 167 patients who were randomized and received VORANIGO, the median duration of exposure to VORANIGO was 12.7 months (range: 1 to 30 months) with 153 patients (92%) exposed to VORANIGO for at least 6 months and 89 (53%) exposed for at least 1 year. The demographics of patients randomized to VORANIGO were: median age 41 years (range: 21 to 71 years); 60% male, 74% White, 20% race not reported, 3% Asian, and 1.2% Black or African American; and 5% were Hispanic or Latino. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 7% of patients who received VORANIGO. The most common serious adverse reactions occurring in ≥2% of patients who received VORANIGO includes seizure (3%). Permanent discontinuation of VORANIGO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 3.6% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of VORANIGO in ≥2% of patients included ALT increased (3%). Dosage interruptions of VORANIGO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 30% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose interruption in ≥5% of patients included ALT increased (14%), COVID-19 (9%), and AST increased (6%). Dose reductions of VORANIGO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 11% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reduction in ≥5% of patients included ALT increased (8%). The most common (≥15%) adverse reactions were fatigue (37%), COVID-19 (33%), musculoskeletal pain (26%), diarrhea (25%), and seizure (16%). Grade 3 or 4 (≥2%) laboratory abnormalities were ALT increased (10%), AST increased (4.8%), GGT increased (3%) and neutrophil decreased (2.4%). Adverse reactions and select laboratory abnormalities reported in the INDIGO trial are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS CYP1A2 Inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors. ( 7.1 ) CYP1A2 Inducers : Avoid concomitant use of moderate CYP1A2 inducers and smoking tobacco. ( 7.1 ) Certain CYP3A Substrates : Avoid concomitant use with CYP3A substrates, where a minimal concentration change can reduce efficacy. ( 7.2 ) Hormonal Contraception : If concomitant use cannot be avoided, use with nonhormonal contraception methods. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on VORANIGO Table 5: Effect of Other Drugs on VORANIGO Strong and Moderate CYP1A2 Inhibitors Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO with a strong or moderate CYP1A2 inhibitor may increase vorasidenib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VORANIGO with strong and moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors. If concomitant use of moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors cannot be avoided, monitor for increased adverse reactions and modify the dosage for adverse reactions as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Moderate CYP1A2 Inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO with moderate CYP1A2 inducers and smoking tobacco may decrease vorasidenib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the anti-tumor activity of VORANIGO. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VORANIGO with moderate CYP1A2 inducers and smoking tobacco. 7.2 Effect of VORANIGO on Other Drugs Table 6: Effect of VORANIGO on Other Drugs Certain CYP3A Substrates Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO with CYP3A substrates may decrease plasma concentrations of CYP3A substrates. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VORANIGO with CYP3A substrates, where a minimal concentration change may lead to reduced therapeutic effect. Hormonal Contraception Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO may decrease the concentrations of hormonal contraceptives, which may lead to contraception failure and/or an increase in breakthrough bleeding. Prevention or Management If concomitant use cannot be avoided, use with nonhormonal contraception methods.
