Warnings for Itovebi
Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.
Precautions for Itovebi
Hyperglycemia
Severe hyperglycemia can occur in patients treated with ITOVEBI.
Increased fasting glucose occurred in 85% of patients treated with ITOVEBI, including 22% of patients with Grade 2 (FPG > 160 to 250 mg/dL), 12% with Grade 3 (FPG > 250 to 500 mg/dL), and 0.6% with Grade 4 (FPG > 500 mg/dL) events.
In INAVO120, 46% (74/162) of patients who received ITOVEBI were treated with oral anti-hyperglycemic medications and 7% (11/162) were treated with insulin to manage increased fasting glucose. In patients who experienced increased fasting glucose of > 160 mg/dL, 96% (52/54) had an improvement in fasting glucose of at least one grade level with a median time to improvement from the first event of 8 days (range: 2 to 43 days).
Among patients with hyperglycemia, the median time to first onset was 7 days (range: 2 to 955 days). Hyperglycemia led to dose interruption in 28%, to dose reduction in 2.5%, and to discontinuation of ITOVEBI in 1.2% of patients.
The safety of ITOVEBI in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, or Type 2 diabetes mellitus requiring ongoing anti-hyperglycemic treatment have not been studied.
Before initiating treatment with ITOVEBI, test fasting glucose levels (FPG or FBG), HbA1C levels, and optimize fasting glucose.
After initiating treatment with ITOVEBI, or in patients who experience hyperglycemia after initiating treatment with ITOVEBI, monitor or self-monitor fasting glucose levels once every 3 days for the first week (Day 1 to 7), then once every week for the next 3 weeks (Day 8 to 28), then once every 2 weeks for the next 8 weeks, then once every 4 weeks thereafter, and as clinically indicated. Monitor HbA1C every 3 months and as clinically indicated.
Manage hyperglycemia with anti-hyperglycemic medications as clinically indicated. During treatment with antiÂhyperglycemic medication, continue monitoring fasting glucose levels. Patients with a history of well-controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus may require intensified anti-hyperglycemic treatment and close monitoring of fasting glucose levels.
Consider consultation with a healthcare professional experienced in the treatment of hyperglycemia, and initiation of fasting glucose monitoring at home for patients who have risk factors for hyperglycemia or who experience hyperglycemia. Advise patients of the signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia and counsel patients on lifestyle changes.
Based on the severity of the hyperglycemia, ITOVEBI may require dose interruption, reduction, or discontinuation [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Stomatitis
Severe stomatitis can occur in patients treated with ITOVEBI.
Stomatitis occurred in 51% of patients treated with ITOVEBI in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant, including Grade 3 events in 6% of patients. The median time to first onset was 13 days (range: 1 to 610 days).
Stomatitis led to interruption of ITOVEBI in 10%, to dose reduction in 3.7%, and to discontinuation of ITOVEBI in 0.6% of patients.
In patients who received ITOVEBI in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant, 38% used a mouthwash containing corticosteroid for management or prophylaxis of stomatitis.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of stomatitis. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue ITOVEBI based on severity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Diarrhea
Severe diarrhea, including dehydration and acute kidney injury, can occur in patients treated with ITOVEBI.
Diarrhea occurred in 48% of patients treated with ITOVEBI in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant, including Grade 3 events in 3.7% of patients. The median time to first onset was 15 days (range: 2 to 602 days). Anti-diarrheal medicines were used in 28% (46/162) of patients who received ITOVEBI in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant to manage symptoms. Dose interruptions were required in 7% of patients, and dose reductions occurred in 1.2% of patients.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of diarrhea. Advise patients to increase oral fluids and start anti-diarrheal treatment at the first sign of diarrhea while taking ITOVEBI. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue ITOVEBI based on severity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, ITOVEBI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. In an animal reproduction study, oral administration of inavolisib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality, structural abnormalities, and alterations to growth at maternal exposures approximately equivalent to the human exposure at the recommended dose of 9 mg/day based on area under the curve (AUC).
Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
ITOVEBI is used in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of palbociclib and fulvestrant for pregnancy and contraception information.
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION).
Hyperglycemia
Advise patients that ITOVEBI may cause hyperglycemia and the need to monitor fasting glucose levels periodically during therapy. Advise patients to contact their healthcare provider immediately for signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia (e.g., excessive thirst, urinating more often, blurred vision, mental confusion, difficulty breathing, or increased appetite with weight loss) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Stomatitis
Advise patients that ITOVEBI may cause stomatitis, which may be severe, and to notify their healthcare provider if they develop symptoms of stomatitis (e.g., painful redness, swelling, or sores in the mouth) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Diarrhea
Advise patients that ITOVEBI may cause diarrhea, which may be severe, and to start antidiarrheal treatment, increase oral fluids, and notify their healthcare provider if diarrhea occurs while taking ITOVEBI [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
- Inform pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females to inform their healthcare provider of a known or suspected pregnancy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and Use In Specific Populations].
- Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
- Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].

Lactation
Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations]. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of palbociclib and fulvestrant for lactation information.
Infertility
Advise females and males of reproductive potential that ITOVEBI may impair fertility [see Use In Specific Populations]. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of palbociclib and fulvestrant for infertility information.
Dosing
- Instruct patients to take ITOVEBI at approximately the same time each day [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
- Instruct patients that if a dose of ITOVEBI is missed, to take the missed dose as soon as possible within 9 hours. After more than 9 hours, skip the dose and take the next dose at the scheduled time [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
- Instruct patients that if vomiting occurs after taking the ITOVEBI dose, do not take an additional dose on that day. Resume the usual dosing schedule the next day [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies with inavolisib have not been conducted.
Inavolisib was not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Inavolisib was clastogenic in an in vitro human lymphocyte micronucleus assay. Inavolisib was not genotoxic in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus test and did not induce DNA break in a liver comet assay.
Fertility studies with inavolisib have not been conducted. In repeat-dose toxicity studies, inavolisib was administered orally once daily for up to 3 months duration in rats and dogs.
In male rats, dose-dependent atrophy of the prostate and seminal vesicle and decreased organ weights of the prostate, seminal vesicle, epididymis and testis were observed at doses ≥ 1.5 mg/kg/day (≥ 0.4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 9 mg/day based on AUC). In male dogs, focal inspissation of seminiferous tubule contents and multinucleated spermatids in the testis and epithelial degeneration/necrosis in the epididymis were observed following 4 weeks of dosing at ≥ 1.5 mg/kg/day (≥ 2 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 9 mg/day based on AUC) and decreased sperm count was observed following 3 months of dosing at ≥ 1 mg/kg/day (≥ 1.2 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 9 mg/day based on AUC). Findings in dogs were not observed following a recovery period.
In female rats, atrophy in the uterus and vagina, decreased ovarian follicles, and findings suggestive of an interruption/alteration of the estrous cycle were observed following up to 3 months of dosing at doses ≥ 3 mg/kg/day (≥ 1.2 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 9 mg/day based on AUC). Findings in the uterus, vagina, and estrous cycle observed in the 4-week toxicity study were not observed following recovery. Recovery was not assessed in the 3-month study in rats.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy
Risk Summary
ITOVEBI is used in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of palbociclib and fulvestrant for pregnancy information.
Based on animal data and its mechanism of action, ITOVEBI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. There are no available data on the use of ITOVEBI in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, oral administration of inavolisib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality, structural abnormalities, and alterations to growth at maternal exposures approximately equivalent to the human exposure at the recommended dose of 9 mg/day based on AUC (see Data). Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus.
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 is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population.
Data
Animal Data
In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of inavolisib up to 6 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Administration of doses ≥ 2 mg/kg/day resulted in decreases in fetal body weight and placental weight, post-implantation loss, lower fetal viability, fetal malformations (including kyphosis of vertebral column, fused thoracic arch, microphthalmia) and variations (including dilated renal pelvis, short supernumerary rib, wavy rib). At a dose of 2 mg/kg/day, maternal exposures were 0.9 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 9 mg/day based on AUC.
Lactation
Risk Summary
ITOVEBI is used in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of palbociclib and fulvestrant for lactation information.
There are no data on the presence of inavolisib or its metabolites in human milk, its effects on milk production or a breastfed child. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise lactating women to not breastfeed during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose.
Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential
ITOVEBI is used in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of palbociclib and fulvestrant for contraception and infertility information.
ITOVEBI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use In Specific Populations].
Pregnancy Testing
Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with ITOVEBI.
Contraception
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose.
Males
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose.
Infertility
Based on animal studies, ITOVEBI may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential [see Nonclinical Toxicology].
Pediatric Use
The safety and efficacy of ITOVEBI in pediatric patients have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Of the 162 patients who received ITOVEBI in INAVO120, 15% were ≥ 65 years of age, and 3% were ≥ 75 years of age.
Dosage modifications or interruptions of ITOVEBI due to adverse reactions occurred at a higher incidence for patients ≥ 65 years of age compared to younger patients (79% versus 68%, respectively).
Clinical studies of ITOVEBI did not include sufficient numbers of patients ≥ 65 years of age to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.
Renal Impairment
Reduce the dosage in patients with moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to < 60 mL/min based on CKD-EPI) [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. No dosage modification is recommended in patients with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60 to < 90 mL/min). ITOVEBI has not been evaluated in patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min).
