Description for Brukinsa

BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib) is a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. The empirical formula of zanubrutinib is C27H29N5O3 and the chemical name is (S)-7-(1-acryloylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-(4phenoxyphenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxamide. Zanubrutinib is a white to off-white powder, with a pH of 7.8 in saturated solution. The aqueous solubility of zanubrutinib is pH dependent, from very slightly soluble to practically insoluble.

The molecular weight of zanubrutinib is 471.55 Daltons.

Zanubrutinib has the following structure:

Each BRUKINSA capsule for oral administration contains 80 mg zanubrutinib and the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium lauryl sulfate. The capsule shell contains edible black ink, gelatin, and titanium dioxide.

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 data in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to BRUKINSA in nine monotherapy and 2 combination clinical trials, administered at 160 mg twice daily in 1608 patients and at 320 mg once daily in 121 patients. Among these 1729 patients, the median duration of exposure was 27.6 months, 78% of patients were exposed for at least 12 months, and 60% of patients were exposed for at least 24 months.

In this pooled safety population, the most common adverse reactions (≥30%), including laboratory abnormalities, were neutrophil count decreased (51%), platelet count decreased (41%), upper respiratory tract infection (38%), hemorrhage (32%), and musculoskeletal pain (31%).

Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)

The safety of BRUKINSA was evaluated in 118 patients with MCL who received at least one prior therapy in two single-arm clinical trials, BGB-3111-206 [NCT03206970] and BGB-3111- AU-003 [NCT02343120] [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The median age of patients who received BRUKINSA in studies BGB-3111-206 and BGB-3111-AU-003 was 62 years (range: 34 to 86), 75% were male, 75% were Asian, 21% were White, and 94% had an ECOG performance status of 0 to 1. Patients had a median of 2 prior lines of therapy (range: 1 to 4). The BGB-3111-206 trial required a platelet count ≥75 × 109/L and an absolute neutrophil count ≥1 × 109/L independent of growth factor support, hepatic enzymes ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal, total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN. The BGB-3111-AU-003 trial required a platelet count ≥50 × 109/L and an absolute neutrophil count ≥1 × 109/L independent of growth factor support, hepatic enzymes ≤3

× upper limit of normal, total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN. Both trials required a creatinine clearance (CLcr) ≥30 mL/min. Both trials excluded patients with prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant, exposure to a BTK inhibitor, known infection with HIV, and serologic evidence of active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection, and patients requiring strong CYP3A inhibitors or strong CYP3A inducers. Patients received BRUKINSA 160 mg twice daily or 320 mg once daily. Among patients receiving BRUKINSA, 79% were exposed for 6 months or longer, and 68% were exposed for greater than one year.

Fatal adverse reactions within 30 days of the last dose of BRUKINSA occurred in 8 (7%) of 118 patients with MCL. Fatal cases included pneumonia in 2 patients and cerebral hemorrhage in one patient.

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 36 patients (31%). The most frequent serious adverse reactions that occurred were pneumonia (11%) and hemorrhage (5%).

Of the 118 patients with MCL treated with BRUKINSA, 8 (7%) patients discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions in the trials. The most frequent adverse reaction leading to treatment discontinuation was pneumonia (3.4%). One (0.8%) patient experienced an adverse reaction leading to dose reduction (hepatitis B).

Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions in BGB-3111-206 and BGB-3111-AU-003.

Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia (WM)

The safety of BRUKINSA was investigated in two cohorts of Study BGB-3111-302 (ASPEN). Cohort 1 included 199 patients with MYD88 mutation (MYD88MUT) WM, randomized to and treated with either BRUKINSA (101 patients) or ibrutinib (98 patients). The trial also included a non-randomized arm, Cohort 2, with 26 wild type MYD88 (MYD88WT) WM patients and 2 patients with unknown MYD88 status [see Clinical Studies (14.2)].

Among patients who received BRUKINSA, 93% were exposed for 6 months or longer, and 89% were exposed for greater than 1 year.

In Cohort 1 of the ASPEN study safety population (N=101), the median age of patients who received BRUKINSA was 70 years (45-87 years old); 67% were male, 86% were White, 4% were Asian, and 10% were not reported (unknown race). In Cohort 2 of the ASPEN study safety population (N=28), the median age of patients who received BRUKINSA was 72 (39-87 years old); 50% were male, 96% were White, and 4% were not reported (unknown race).

In Cohort 1, serious adverse reactions occurred in 44% of patients who received BRUKINSA. Serious adverse reactions in >2% of patients included influenza (3%), pneumonia (4%), neutropenia and neutrophil count decreased (3%), hemorrhage (4%), pyrexia (3%), and febrile neutropenia (3%). In Cohort 2, serious adverse reactions occurred in 39% of patients. Serious adverse reactions in >2 patients included pneumonia (14%).

Permanent discontinuation of BRUKINSA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2% of patients in Cohort 1 and included hemorrhage (1 patient), neutropenia and neutrophil count decreased (1 patient); in Cohort 2, permanent discontinuation of BRUKINSA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 7% of patients and included subdural hemorrhage (1 patient) and diarrhea (1 patient).

Dosage interruptions of BRUKINSA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 32% of patients in Cohort 1 and in 29% in Cohort 2. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >2% of patients included neutropenia, vomiting, hemorrhage, thrombocytopenia, and pneumonia in Cohort 1. Adverse reactions leading to dosage interruption in >2 patients in Cohort 2 included pneumonia and pyrexia.

Dose reductions of BRUKINSA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 11% of patients in Cohort 1 and in 7% in Cohort 2. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in >2% of patients included neutropenia in Cohort 1. Adverse reaction leading to dose reduction occurred in 2 patients in Cohort 2 (each with one event: diarrhea and pneumonia).

Marginal Zone Lymphoma

The safety of BRUKINSA was evaluated in 88 patients with previously treated MZL in two single-arm clinical studies, BGB-3111-214 and BGB-3111-AU-003 [see Clinical Studies (14.3)]. The trials required an absolute neutrophil count ≥1 × 109/L, platelet count ≥50 or ≥75 × 109/L and adequate hepatic function and excluded patients requiring a strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer. Patients received BRUKINSA 160 mg twice daily (97%) or 320 mg once daily (3%).

The median age in both studies combined was 70 years (range: 37 to 95), 52% were male, 64% were White, and 19% were Asian. Most patients (92%) had an ECOG performance status of 0 to

1. Eighty percent received BRUKINSA for 6 months or longer, and 67% received treatment for more than one year.

Two fatal adverse reactions (2.3%) occurred within 30 days of the last dose of BRUKINSA, including myocardial infarction and a Covid-19–related death.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 40% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions were pyrexia (8%) and pneumonia (7%).

Adverse reactions lead to treatment discontinuation in 6% of patients, dose reduction in 2.3%, and dose interruption in 34%. The leading cause of dose modification was respiratory tract infections (13%).

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

The safety data described below reflect exposure to BRUKINSA (160 mg twice daily) in 675 patients with CLL from two randomized controlled clinical trials [see Clinical Studies (14.4)]. The trials required patients to be unsuitable for fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR) therapy defined as age ≥65 years, or age 18 to <65 years with either a total Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) >6, CLcr 30 to 69 mL/min, or history of serious or frequent infections. The trial excluded patients with AST or ALT ≥2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or bilirubin ≥3 times (ULN) and patients requiring a strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer.

SEQUOIA

The safety of BRUKINSA monotherapy in patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL was evaluated in a randomized, multicenter, open-label, actively controlled trial [see Clinical Studies (14.4)]. Patients without deletion of chromosome 17p13.1 (17p deletion) (Cohort 1) received either BRUKINSA 160 mg twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (n=240) or bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) for 6 cycles (n=227). Bendamustine was dosed at 90 mg/m2/day intravenously on the first 2 days of each cycle, and rituximab was dosed at 375 mg/m2 on day 1 of Cycle 1 and 500 mg/m2 on day 1 of Cycles 2 to 6.

Additionally, the same BRUKINSA regimen was evaluated in 111 patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL with 17p deletion in a non-randomized single arm (Cohort 2).

Randomized Cohort: Previously Untreated CLL/SLL without 17p Deletion

In patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL without 17p deletion, the median age was 70, 62% were male, 89% were White, 2% were Asian, and 2% were Black. Most patients (93%) had an ECOG performance status of 0 to 1.

The median duration of exposure to BRUKINSA was 26 months, with 71% exposed for more than 2 years.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 36% of patients who received BRUKINSA. Serious adverse reactions that occurred in ≥5% of patients were COVID-19, pneumonia, and second primary malignancy (5% each). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 11 (4.6%) patients with the leading cause of death being COVID-19 (2.1%).

Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of BRUKINSA in 8% of patients, dose reduction in 8%, and dose interruption in 46%. The most common adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation were second primary malignancy and COVID-19. The leading causes of dose modification (≥5% of all patients) were respiratory infections (COVID-19, pneumonia) and hemorrhage.

Table 9 summarizes select adverse reactions in this randomized cohort.

ALPINE

The safety of BRUKINSA monotherapy was evaluated in patients with previously treated CLL/SLL in a randomized, multicenter, open-label, actively controlled trial [see Clinical Studies (14.4)]. In ALPINE, 324 patients received BRUKINSA monotherapy, 160 mg orally twice daily and 324 patients received ibrutinib monotherapy, 420 mg orally daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

In ALPINE, the median duration of exposure was 24 months for BRUKINSA. Adverse reactions leading to death in the BRUKINSA arm occurred in 24 (7%) patients. Adverse reactions leading to death that occurred in >1% of patients were pneumonia (2.8%) and COVID-19 infection (1.9%).

One hundred and four patients in the BRUKINSA arm (32%) reported ≥1 serious adverse reaction. Serious adverse reactions occurring in ≥5% of patients were pneumonia (10%), COVID-19 (7%), and second primary malignancies (5%).

Adverse reactions led to treatment discontinuation in 13% of patients, dose reduction in 11%, and dose interruption in 42%. The leading cause of treatment discontinuation was pneumonia. The leading causes of dose modification (≥5% of all patients) were respiratory infections (COVID-19, pneumonia) and neutropenia.

Follicular Lymphoma

The safety of BRUKINSA in combination with obinutuzumab was evaluated in 143 adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) in study BGB-3111-212 (ROSEWOOD), a randomized, multicenter, open-label trial [see Clinical Studies (14.5)]. The trial required an absolute neutrophil count ≥1 × 109/L, platelet count ≥50 × 109/L, and CLcr ≥30 mL/min and excluded patients requiring a strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer.

Patients were randomized to receive either BRUKINSA 160 mg twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity plus obinutuzumab (n=143) or obinutuzumab monotherapy (n=71). Obinutuzumab was dosed at 1,000 mg intravenously on Days 1, 8, and 15 of Cycle 1; on Day 1 of Cycles 2 to 6; and then every 8 weeks for up to 20 doses. At the discretion of the investigator, obinutuzumab was administered intravenously on Day 1 (100 mg) and on Day 2 (900 mg) of Cycle 1 instead of 1,000 mg on Day 1 of Cycle 1.

In patients who received BRUKINSA in combination with obinutuzumab, the median age was 63, 49% were female, 63% were White, and 21% were Asian. Most patients (97%) had an ECOG performance status of 0 to 1. The median duration of BRUKINSA treatment was 12 months, with 24% of patients treated for at least 2 years.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 35% of patients who received BRUKINSA in combination with obinutuzumab. Serious adverse reactions in ≥5% of patients included pneumonia (11%) and 

COVID-19 (10%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.2% of patients, with the leading cause of death being COVID-19 (2.1%).

Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of BRUKINSA in 17% of patients, dose reduction in 9%, and dose interruption in 40%. Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation in ≥2% of patients were pneumonia, COVID-19, and second primary malignancy. The leading causes of BRUKINSA dosage modification (42% of all patients) were pneumonia, COVID-19, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia.

Drug Interactions for Brukinsa

Effect of Other Drugs on BRUKINSA

Table 17: Drug Interactions that Affect Zanubrutinib

Moderate and Strong CYP3A Inhibitors
Clinical Impact	Coadministration with a moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitor increases zanubrutinib Cmax and AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] which may increase the risk of BRUKINSA toxicities.
Prevention or management	Reduce BRUKINSA dosage when coadministered with moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
Moderate and Strong CYP3A Inducers
Clinical Impact	Coadministration with a moderate or strong CYP3A inducer decreases zanubrutinib Cmax and AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] which may reduce BRUKINSA efficacy.
Prevention or management	· Avoid coadministration of BRUKINSA with strong CYP3A inducers [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. · Avoid coadministration of BRUKINSA with moderate CYP3A inducers [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. If these inducers cannot be avoided, increase BRUKINSA dosage to 320 mg twice daily [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

Warnings for Brukinsa

Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.

Precautions for Brukinsa

Hemorrhage

Fatal and serious hemorrhage has occurred in patients with hematological malignancies treated with BRUKINSA. Grade 3 or higher hemorrhage including intracranial and gastrointestinal hemorrhage, hematuria, and hemothorax was reported in 3.8% of patients treated with BRUKINSA in clinical trials, with fatalities occurring in 0.2% of patients. Bleeding of any grade, excluding purpura and petechiae, occurred in 32% of patients.

Bleeding has occurred in patients with and without concomitant antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy. Coadministration of BRUKINSA with antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications may further increase the risk of hemorrhage.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of bleeding. Discontinue BRUKINSA if intracranial hemorrhage of any grade occurs. Consider the benefit-risk of withholding BRUKINSA for 3-7 days before and after surgery depending upon the type of surgery and the risk of bleeding.

Infections

Fatal and serious infections (including bacterial, viral, or fungal infections) and opportunistic infections have occurred in patients with hematological malignancies treated with BRUKINSA. Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 26% of patients, most commonly pneumonia (7.9%), with fatal infections occurring in 3.2% of patients. Infections due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation have occurred.

Consider prophylaxis for herpes simplex virus, pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, and other infections according to standard of care in patients who are at increased risk for infections. Monitor and evaluate patients for fever or other signs and symptoms of infection and treat appropriately.

Cytopenias

Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias, including neutropenia (21%), thrombocytopenia (8%), and anemia (8%) based on laboratory measurements, developed in patients treated with BRUKINSA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Grade 4 neutropenia occurred in 10% of patients, and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 2.5% of patients.

Monitor complete blood counts regularly during treatment and interrupt treatment, reduce the dose, or discontinue treatment as warranted [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. Treat using growth factor or transfusions, as needed.

Second Primary Malignancies

Second primary malignancies, including non-skin carcinoma, have occurred in 14% of patients treated with BRUKINSA. The most frequent second primary malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancers (8%), followed by other solid tumors in 7% of the patients (including melanoma in 1% of patients) and hematologic malignancies (0.7%). Advise patients to use sun protection and monitor patients for the development of second primary malignancies.

Cardiac Arrhythmias

Serious cardiac arrhythmias have occurred in patients treated with BRUKINSA. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were reported in 4.4% of patients treated with BRUKINSA, including Grade 3 or higher cases in 1.9% of patients. Patients with cardiac risk factors, hypertension, and acute infections may be at increased risk. Grade 3 or higher ventricular arrhythmias were reported in 0.3% of patients.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of cardiac arrhythmias (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, syncope, dyspnea, chest discomfort), manage appropriately [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)], and consider the risks and benefits of continued BRUKINSA treatment.

Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Hepatotoxicity, including severe, life-threatening, and potentially fatal cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), has occurred in patients treated with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including BRUKINSA.

Evaluate bilirubin and transaminases at baseline and throughout treatment with BRUKINSA. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests after BRUKINSA, monitor more frequently for liver test abnormalities and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatic toxicity. If DILI is suspected, withhold BRUKINSA. Upon confirmation of DILI, discontinue BRUKINSA.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings in animals, BRUKINSA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Administration of zanubrutinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused embryo-fetal toxicity, including malformations at exposures that were 5 times higher than those reported in patients at the recommended dose of 160 mg twice daily. Advise women to avoid becoming pregnant while taking BRUKINSA and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise men to avoid fathering a child during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with zanubrutinib.

Zanubrutinib was not mutagenic in a bacterial mutagenicity (Ames) assay, was not clastogenic in a chromosome aberration assay in mammalian (CHO) cells, nor was it clastogenic in an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus assay in rats.

A combined male and female fertility and early embryonic development study was conducted in rats at oral zanubrutinib doses of 30 to 300 mg/kg/day. Male rats were dosed 4 weeks prior to mating and through mating and female rats were dosed 2 weeks prior to mating and to gestation day 7. No effect on male or female fertility was noted at lower doses, but at the highest dose tested, morphological abnormalities in sperm and increased postimplantation loss were noted.

The high dose of 300 mg/kg/day is approximately 10 times the human recommended dose, based on body surface area.

Overdose Information for Brukinsa

No Information Provided

Contraindications for Brukinsa

None.

Clinical Pharmacology for Brukinsa

Mechanism of Action

Zanubrutinib is a small-molecule inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK). Zanubrutinib forms a covalent bond with a cysteine residue in the BTK active site, leading to inhibition of BTK activity. BTK is a signaling molecule of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) and cytokine receptor pathways. In B-cells, BTK signaling results in activation of pathways necessary for B-cell proliferation, trafficking, chemotaxis, and adhesion. In nonclinical studies, zanubrutinib inhibited malignant B-cell proliferation and reduced tumor growth.

Pharmacodynamics

BTK Occupancy in PBMCs and Lymph Nodes

The median steady-state BTK occupancy in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was maintained at 100% over 24 hours at a total daily dose of 320 mg in patients with B-cell malignancies. The median steady-state BTK occupancy in lymph nodes was 94% to 100% following the approved recommended dosage.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

At the approved recommended doses (160 mg twice daily or 320 mg once daily), there were no clinically relevant effects on the QTc interval. The effect of BRUKINSA on the QTc interval above the therapeutic exposure has not been evaluated.

In Vitro Platelet Aggregation

In blood samples from healthy donors, patients on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy, and those with severe renal dysfunction, zanubrutinib demonstrated inhibition of platelet aggregation mediated by collagen, CRP-XL, or rhodocytin. Zanubrutinib did not show meaningful inhibition of platelet aggregation for ADP and PAR4-AP.

Pharmacokinetics

Zanubrutinib maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma drug concentration over time curve (AUC) increase proportionally over a dosage range from 40 mg to 320 mg (0.13 to 1 time the recommended total daily dose). Limited systemic accumulation of zanubrutinib was observed following repeated administration.

The geometric mean (%CV) zanubrutinib steady-state daily AUC is 2,099 (42%) ng·h/mL following 160 mg twice daily and 1,917 (59%) ng·h/mL following 320 mg once daily. The geometric mean (%CV) zanubrutinib steady-state Cmax is 295 (55%) ng/mL following 160 mg twice daily and 537 (55%) ng/mL following 320 mg once daily.

Absorption

The median tmax of zanubrutinib is 2 hours.

Effect of Food

BRUKINSA Capsules

Zanubrutinib AUC decreased 7% and Cmax increased 3% following administration of BRUKINSA capsules with a high-fat meal (1,000 calories, 50% fat) in healthy subjects.

BRUKINSA Tablets

Zanubrutinib AUC increased up to 17% and Cmax up to 79% following administration of BRUKINSA tablets with a high-fat meal (1,000 calories, 50% fat) in healthy subjects.

Distribution

The geometric mean (%CV) apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) of zanubrutinib is 537 (73%) L. The plasma protein binding of zanubrutinib is approximately 94% and the blood-to- plasma ratio is 0.7 to 0.8.

Elimination

The mean half-life (t½) of zanubrutinib is approximately 2 to 4 hours following a single oral zanubrutinib dose of 160 mg or 320 mg. The geometric mean (%CV) apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of zanubrutinib is 128 (58%) L/h.

Metabolism

Zanubrutinib is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450(CYP)3A.

Excretion

Following a single radiolabeled zanubrutinib dose of 320 mg to healthy subjects, approximately 87% of the dose was recovered in feces (38% unchanged) and 8% in urine (less than 1% unchanged).

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of zanubrutinib were observed based on age (19 to 90 years), sex, race (Asian, White, and Other), body weight (36 to 144 kg), or mild, moderate or severe renal impairment (CLcr ≥15 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft- Gault). The effect of dialysis on zanubrutinib pharmacokinetics is unknown.

Hepatic Impairment

The total AUC of zanubrutinib increased by 11% in subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A), by 21% in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B), and by 60% in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) relative to subjects with normal liver function. The unbound AUC of zanubrutinib increased by 23% in subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A), by 43% in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B) and by 194% in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) relative to subjects with normal liver function.

a The assessment was conducted in healthy subjects with a single dose of zanubrutinib 20 mg. b The assessment was conducted in patients with B-cell lymphoma administered multiple doses of zanubrutinib at the respective recommended zanubrutinib dosages in Table 1. c The predicted values were based on simulations with patients administered multiple doses of zanubrutinib at the respective recommended dosages in Table 1.

CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer) decreased the zanubrutinib Cmax by 92% and AUC by 93%. Coadministration of multiple doses of rifabutin (moderate CYP3A inducer) decreased the zanubrutinib Cmax by 48% and AUC by 44%.

Coadministration of multiple doses of efavirenz (moderate CYP3A inducer) is predicted to decrease zanubrutinib Cmax by 58% and AUC by 60%.

CYP3A Substrates: Coadministration of multiple doses of zanubrutinib decreased midazolam (CYP3A substrate) Cmax by 30% and AUC by 47%.

CYP2C19 Substrates: Coadministration of multiple doses of zanubrutinib decreased omeprazole (CYP2C19 substrate) Cmax by 20% and AUC by 36%.

Other CYP Substrates: No clinically significant differences were observed with warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate) pharmacokinetics when coadministered with zanubrutinib.

Transporter Systems: Coadministration of multiple doses of zanubrutinib increased digoxin (P-gp substrate) Cmax by 34% and AUC by 11%. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin (BCRP substrate) were observed when coadministered with zanubrutinib.

Gastric Acid Reducing Agents: No clinically significant differences in zanubrutinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with gastric acid reducing agents (proton pump inhibitors, H2-receptor antagonists).

In Vitro Studies

CYP Enzymes: Zanubrutinib is an inducer of CYP2B6 and CYP2C8.

Transporter Systems: Zanubrutinib is likely to be a substrate of P-gp. Zanubrutinib is not a substrate or inhibitor of OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, OATP1B1, or OATP1B3.

Patient Information for Brukinsa

Advise patients to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information).

Hemorrhage

Inform patients to report signs or symptoms of severe bleeding. Inform patients that BRUKINSA may need to be interrupted for major surgeries or procedures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Inform patients to report signs or symptoms suggestive of infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Cytopenias

Inform patients that they will need periodic blood tests to check blood counts during treatment with BRUKINSA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

Second Primary Malignancies

Inform patients that other malignancies have been reported in patients who have been treated with BRUKINSA, including skin cancer and other solid tumors. Advise patients to use sun protection and have monitoring for development of other cancers [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].

Cardiac Arrhythmias

Counsel patients to report any signs of palpitations, lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].

Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Inform patients that liver problems, including drug-induced liver injury and abnormalities in liver tests, may develop during BRUKINSA treatment. Advise patients to contact their healthcare provider immediately if they experience abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)].

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential hazard to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose of BRUKINSA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)]. Advise males with female sexual partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during BRUKINSA treatment and for 1 week after the last dose of BRUKINSA [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3)].

Lactation

Advise females not to breastfeed during treatment with BRUKINSA and for 2 weeks after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].

Administration Instructions

• BRUKINSA capsules may be taken with or without Advise patients that BRUKINSA capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not to open, break, or chew the capsules [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
• BRUKINSA tablets may be taken with or without food. Advise patients that BRUKINSA tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not to chew or crush the Tablets can be split in half as prescribed by the healthcare provider [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].

Missed Dose

Advise patients that if they miss a dose of BRUKINSA, they may still take it as soon as possible on the same day with a return to the normal schedule the following day [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].

Drug Interactions
