What is Zydelig, and how does it work?

Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Zydelig is indicated, in combination withrituximab, for the treatment of patients with relapsedchronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL) for whom rituximab alone would be considered appropriate therapy due to other co-morbidities.

Limitation Of Use

Zydelig is not indicated and is not recommended for first line treatment of patients with CLL.

Relapsed Follicular B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Zydelig is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed follicular B-cell non- Hodgkinlymphoma(FL) who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.

Accelerated approval was granted for this indication based on Overall Response Rate. An improvement in patient survival or disease related symptoms has not been established. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

Limitation Of Use

Zydelig is not indicated and is not recommended in combination with bendamustine and/or rituximab for the treatment of FL.

Relapsed Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Zydelig is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.

Accelerated approval was granted for this indication based on Overall Response Rate. An improvement in patient survival or disease related symptoms has not been established. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

Clinical Trial 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.

Summary Of Clinical Trials In Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

The safety data reflect exposure to Zydelig from two randomized, double-blind clinical trials (Studies 312-0116 and 312-0115) in 634 patients with relapsed CLL and one randomized, open-label trial in 259 patients with relapsed CLL (Study 312-0119).

Zydelig With Rituximab (Study 312-0116; NCT01539512)

Patients with relapsed CLL received up to 8 doses of rituximab (R) with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily. The median duration of exposure to Zydelig was 8 months. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 65 (59%) patients treated with Zydelig + R The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported for patients treated with Zydelig + R were

  • pneumonia(23%),
  • diarrhea (10%),
  • pyrexia (9%),
  • sepsis(8%), and
  • febrile neutropenia (5%).

Adverse reactions that led to discontinuation of Zydelig occurred in 19 (17%) patients. The most common adverse reactions that led to treatment discontinuations were hepatotoxicity and diarrhea/colitis.

Forty-two (38%) patients had dose interruptions and sixteen (15%) patients had dose reductions due to adverse reactions or laboratory abnormalities. The most common reasons for dose interruptions or reductions were

  • pneumonia,
  • diarrhea or colitis,
  • rash, and
  • elevated transaminases.

Summary Of Discontinued Clinical Trials In First-Line CLL and Early Line iNHL
  • Safety data described below reflect exposure to Zydelig in three randomized, doubleblind clinical trials (Studies 312-0123, 313-0124, and 313-0125) in patients with CLL and iNHL.
  • In Study 312-0123 (NCT01980888), 311 patients with previously untreated CLL received up to 6 cycles of BR with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily.
  • In Study 313-0124 (NCT01732913), 295 patients with previously treated iNHL received 8 doses of R with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily. Patients had a median of one prior therapy.
  • 在研究313 - 0125年(NCT01732926), 475名患者previously treated iNHL received up to 6 cycles of BR with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily. Patients had a median of two prior therapies.
  • These three studies were terminated early due to a higher incidence of fatal and/or serious adverse reactions observed in patients treated with Zydelig in combination with R or BR. The most frequent serious adverse reactions were in the system organ classes of infections and infestations, blood and lymphatic system disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Zydelig. Because postmarketing reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Skin and Subcutaneous Disorders - Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)

QUESTION

What is the dosage for Zydelig?

Recommended Dosage

  • The recommended maximum starting dose of Zydelig is 150 mg administered orally twice daily.
  • Zydelig can be taken with or without food. Tablets should be swallowed whole.
  • Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The optimal and safe dosing regimen for patients who receive treatment longer than several months is unknown.

Dose Modification

See Table 1 for dose modification instructions for specific toxicities related to Zydelig. For other severe or life-threatening toxicities related to Zydelig, withhold drug until toxicity is resolved. If resuming Zydelig after interruption for other severe or lifethreatening toxicities, reduce the dose to 100 mg twice daily. Discontinue Zydelig permanently for recurrence of other severe or life-threatening Zydelig-related toxicity upon rechallenge.

What drugs interact with Zydelig?

Effects Of Other Drugs On Zydelig

Table 6 lists the potential effects of the coadministration of strong CYP3A modulators on Zydelig.

Table 6 :Drug Interactionswith Zydelig that affect Idelalisib Concentrations

Strong CYP3A Inhibitors
Clinical Impact
  • Coadministration with strong CYP3A inhibitors may increase idelalisib concentrations.
  • Increased idelalisib concentrations may increase the risk of exposure related adverse reactions.
Prevention or Management
  • Use other drugs that are not strong CYP3A inhibitors.
  • If unable to use alternative drugs, monitor patients more frequently for Zydelig adverse reactions.
Strong CYP3A Inducers
Clinical Impact
  • Coadministration with strong CYP3A inducers may decrease idelalisib concentrations.
  • Decreased idelalisib concentrations may reduce efficacy.
Prevention or Management
  • Avoid coadministration of Zydelig with strong CYP3A4 inducers.

Effects Of Zydelig On Other Drugs

The coadministration of Zydelig with a CYP3A substrate may increase the concentrations of this CYP3A substrate. Avoid coadministration of Zydelig with sensitive CYP3A substrates.

Is Zydelig safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?

  • Based on findings in animal studies (see Data) and the mechanism of action, Zydelig may cause fetal harm when administered to apregnantwoman.
  • There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk.
  • No data are available regarding the presence of idelalisib or its metabolites inhuman milkor its effects on thebreastfedchild or on milk production.
  • Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from Zydelig in a breastfed child, advise lactating women not to breastfeed while taking Zydelig and for at least 1 month after the last dose.
