Warnings for Jaypirca
Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.
Precautions for Jaypirca
Infections
Fatal and serious infections (including bacterial, viral, or fungal infections) and opportunistic infections have occurred in patients treated with JAYPIRCA. In the clinical trial, Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 24% of 593 patients, most commonly pneumonia (14%), with fatal infections occurring in 4.4% of patients. Sepsis occurred in 6% of patients and febrile neutropenia in 4%. In patients with CLL/SLL, Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 32% of patients, with fatal infections occurring in 8%. Opportunistic infections after treatment with JAYPIRCA have included, but are not limited to, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and fungal infection [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Consider prophylaxis, including vaccinations and antimicrobial prophylaxis, in patients who are at increased risk for infections, including opportunistic infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection, evaluate promptly, and treat appropriately. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue JAYPIRCA [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Hemorrhage
Fatal and serious hemorrhage has occurred with JAYPIRCA. Major hemorrhage (defined as Grade 3 or higher bleeding or any central nervous system bleeding) occurred in 3% of 593 patients treated with JAYPIRCA, including gastrointestinal hemorrhage; fatal hemorrhage occurred in 0.3% of patients. Bleeding of any grade, excluding bruising and petechiae, occurred in 17% of patients [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Major hemorrhage occurred in 2.3% of patients taking JAYPIRCA without antithrombotic agents and 0.7% of patients taking JAYPIRCA with antithrombotic agents. Consider the risks and benefits of antithrombotic agents when co-administered with JAYPIRCA. Monitor patients for signs of bleeding. Based on severity of bleeding, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue JAYPIRCA [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Consider the benefit-risk of withholding JAYPIRCA for 3 to 7 days pre-and post-surgery depending upon the type of surgery and risk of bleeding.
Cytopenias
JAYPIRCA can cause cytopenias, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia.
In the clinical trial, Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias, including decreased neutrophils (26%), decreased platelets (12%), and decreased hemoglobin (12%) developed in patients treated with JAYPIRCA. Grade 4 decreased neutrophils developed in 14% of patients and Grade 4 decreased platelets developed in 6% of patients [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Monitor complete blood counts regularly during treatment. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue JAYPIRCA [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Cardiac Arrhythmias
Cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, were reported in recipients of JAYPIRCA. Atrial fibrillation or flutter were reported in 3.2% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 atrial fibrillation or flutter reported in 1.5% of 593 patients in the clinical trial [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. Other serious cardiac arrhythmias such as supraventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest occurred in 0.5% of patients. Patients with cardiac risk factors, such as hypertension, or previous arrhythmias may be at increased risk.
Monitor for signs and symptoms of arrhythmias (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, syncope, dyspnea) and manage appropriately. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue JAYPIRCA [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Second Primary Malignancies
Second primary malignancies, including non-skin carcinomas, developed in 9% of 593 patients treated with JAYPIRCA monotherapy. The most frequent malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancer, reported in 4.6% of 593 patients. Other second primary malignancies included solid tumors (including genitourinary and breast cancers) and melanoma. Advise patients to use sun protection and monitor patients for the development of second primary malignancies.
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 JAYPIRCA.
Evaluate bilirubin and transaminases at baseline and throughout treatment with JAYPIRCA. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests after JAYPIRCA, monitor more frequently for liver test abnormalities and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatic toxicity. If DILI is suspected, withhold JAYPIRCA. Upon confirmation of DILI, discontinue JAYPIRCA.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on findings in animals, JAYPIRCA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of pirtobrutinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused embryo-fetal toxicity including embryo-fetal mortality and malformations at maternal exposures (AUC) approximately 3-times the recommended dose of 200 mg once daily. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with JAYPIRCA and for one week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION).
Infections
Advise patients that JAYPIRCA can cause serious infections that may be fatal. Advise patients to report any signs or symptoms of infection (e.g., fever, chills, weakness) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Hemorrhage
Inform patients to report signs or symptoms of bleeding. Inform patients that JAYPIRCA may need to be interrupted for major surgeries [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Cytopenias
Advise patients of the need for periodic monitoring of blood counts during treatment with JAYPIRCA [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Cardiac Arrhythmias
Counsel patients to report any signs of palpitations, dizziness, fainting, chest discomfort, and shortness of breath [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Second Primary Malignancies
Inform patients that other malignancies have been reported in patients who have been treated with JAYPIRCA, including skin cancer and other solid tumors. Advise patients to use sun protection and to have monitoring for development of other cancers [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver
Injury Inform patients that liver problems, including severe, life-threatening, or fatal hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury and abnormalities in liver tests, may develop during JAYPIRCA treatment. Advise patients to contact their healthcare provider immediately if they experience abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to inform their healthcare provider of a known or suspected pregnancy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Use In Specific Populations].
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with JAYPIRCA and for one week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Lactation
Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with JAYPIRCA and for one week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Administration
Inform patients to take JAYPIRCA orally once daily at approximately the same time each day with or without food and how to make up a missed dose. Advise patients to swallow tablets whole with water. Advise patients not to cut, crush, or chew tablets [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of fertility
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with pirtobrutinib.
Pirtobrutinib was not mutagenic in a bacterial mutagenicity (Ames) assay. Pirtobrutinib was aneugenic in in vitro micronucleus assays using human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Pirtobrutinib was not genotoxic in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay at doses up to 2000 mg/kg.
Studies to assess the effects of pirtobrutinib on fertility have not been conducted. In repeat-dose toxicity studies of up to 3-months duration conducted with pirtobrutinib in rats and dogs, no effects on male or female reproductive organs were identified.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Based on findings from animal studies, JAYPIRCA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on JAYPIRCA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, administration of pirtobrutinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes, including structural abnormalities, altered fetal growth, and embryo-fetal mortality, at maternal exposures approximately 3-times those in patients at the recommended daily dose of 200 mg (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.
The background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.
Data
Animal Data
In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals were administered oral doses of pirtobrutinib at up to 500 mg/kg twice daily during the period of organogenesis. Doses ≥ 375 mg/kg twice daily caused decreased fetal body weights and increased incidence of malformations and variations in the urinary tract (including absent or abnormal ureters and kidneys), reproductive tract (malpositioned ovaries and misshapen uterus), and bone (misshapen sternebrae). At 500 mg/kg twice daily, total resorption was observed. At 375 mg/kg twice daily in rats, the maternal systemic exposures (AUC) were approximately 3 times the human exposure at 200 mg once daily.
Lactation
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of pirtobrutinib in human milk or the effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with JAYPIRCA and for one week after the last dose.
Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential
Based on findings from animal studies, JAYPIRCA 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 JAYPIRCA.
Contraception
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with JAYPIRCA and for one week after the last dose.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of JAYPIRCA have not been established in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use
Of the patients with MCL who received the 200 mg dose of JAYPIRCA in BRUIN, 93 (78%) were 65 years of age and older and 39 (33%) were 75 years and older [see Clinical Studies]. Clinical studies of JAYPIRCA did not include sufficient numbers of patients with MCL who were less than 65 years of age to determine whether older patients respond differently from younger adult patients. Of the patients with CLL/SLL who received the 200 mg once daily dose of JAYPIRCA in BRUIN, 68 (63%) were 65 years of age and older and 21 (19%) were 75 years and older [see Clinical Studies]. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between younger and older patients.
In the pooled safety population in patients with hematologic malignancies, 401 (68%) were 65 years of age and older, while 154 (26%) were 75 years of age and older. Patients aged 65 years and older experienced higher rates of Grade 3 and higher adverse reactions and serious adverse reactions compared to patients who were less than 65 years of age.
Renal Impairment
Severe renal impairment (eGFR15-29 mL/min) increases pirtobrutinib exposure [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Reduce the JAYPIRCA dosage in patients with severe renal impairment [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. No dosage adjustment of JAYPIRCA is recommended in patients with mild (60-89 mL/min) or moderate (30-59 mL/min) renal impairment.
Hepatic Impairment
No dosage adjustment of JAYPIRCA is recommended in patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > ULN or total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST), moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 × ULN and any AST), or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 × ULN and any AST) [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
