PART I: HEALTH PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION

1 INDICATIONS

  • TIBSOVO (ivosidenib) in combination with azacitidine is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) R132 mutation who are not eligible to receive intensive induction chemotherapy.
  • TIBSOVO monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an IDH1 R132 mutation who were previously treated by at least one prior line of systemic therapy. Documentation of an IDH1 R132 mutation using an appropriate diagnostic test is required prior to treatment with TIBSOVO.

1.1 Pediatrics

Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): No data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use.

1.2 Geriatrics

Geriatrics (> 65 years of age): No overall differences in effectiveness or safety were observed between patients who were 65 years and older compared to younger patients (see 10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, 10.3 Pharmacokinetics, 14 CLINICAL TRIALS, 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION)

2 CONTRAINDICATIONS

TIBSOVO is contraindicated in patients:

  • who are hypersensitive to this drug or to any ingredient in the formulation, including any non-medicinal ingredient, or component of the container. For a complete listing, (see 6 DOSAGE FORMS, STRENGTHS, COMPOSITION AND PACKAGING)
  • are taking strong CYP3A4 inducers or dabigatran.
  • with congenital long QT syndrome.
  • with a family history of sudden death or polymorphic ventricular arrythmia.
  • with a QT/QTc interval > 500 msec, regardless of the correction method used.

3 SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS BOX

Serious Warnings and Precautions

  • Differentiation syndrome in patients with AML:

TIBSOVO can cause a serious condition known as differentiation syndrome in patients with AML. Differentiation syndrome can be fatal if not treated, and symptoms may include non-infectious leukocytosis, peripheral edema, pyrexia, dyspnea, pleural effusion, hypotension, hypoxia, pulmonary edema, pneumonitis, pericardial effusion, rash, fluid overload, tumor lysis syndrome and creatinine increased. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, initiate corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution. Patients must be informed of signs and symptoms of differentiation syndrome, be advised to contact their health professional immediately if these occur and the need to carry the Patient Alert Card with them at all times (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).

  • QTc interval prolongation:

Patients treated with TIBSOVO can develop QT (QTc) prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias. Monitor electrocardiograms and electrolytes. If QTc interval prolongation occurs, dose reduce or interrupt, then resume dose or permanently discontinue TIBSOVO (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION; 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS; 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS).

4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Dosing Considerations

  • Treatment should be initiated under the supervision of a health professional experienced in the use of anti-cancer medicinal products.
  • Before taking TIBSOVO, patients must have confirmation of an IDH1 R132 mutation using an appropriate diagnostic test.
  • An electrocardiogram (ECG) must be performed prior to treatment initiation. Heart rate corrected QT (QTc) should be less than 450 msec prior to treatment initiation and, in the presence of an abnormal QT, the benefit/risk of initiating TIBSOVO should be reassessed. In case QTc interval prolongation is between 480 msec and 500 msec, initiation of treatment with TIBSOVO should remain exceptional and be accompanied by close monitoring.
  • An ECG must be performed prior to treatment initiation, at least weekly during the first 3 weeks of therapy and then at least monthly for the duration of therapy. Any abnormalities should be managed promptly (see Table 1 and 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).
  • If a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided, the dose of TIBSOVO should be reduced to 250 mg once daily. If the moderate or strong inhibitor is discontinued, the dose of TIBSOVO should be increased (after at least 5 half-lives of the CYP3A4 inhibitor) to the recommended dose of 500 mg once daily (see 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS and 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS).
  • Complete blood count and blood chemistries should be assessed prior to the initiation of TIBSOVO and for the duration of therapy as clinically indicated.
  • Treatment of Acute myeloid leukemia

The recommended dose is 500 mg TIBSOVO (2 x 250 mg tablets) taken orally once daily.

TIBSOVO should be started on Cycle 1 Day 1 and administered once daily during the 28-day cycle. It should be started in combination with azacitidine at 75 mg/m2 of body surface area, intravenously or subcutaneously, once daily on Days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle. The first treatment cycle of azacitidine should be given at 100% of the dose. It is recommended that patients be treated for a minimum of 6 cycles.

For the posology and method of administration of azacitidine, please refer to the Product Monograph for azacitidine.

Treatment should be continued until disease progression or until treatment is no longer tolerated by the patient (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (dose modification), 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS)

  • Treatment of Cholangiocarcinoma

The recommended dose is 500 mg TIBSOVO (2 x 250 mg tablets) taken orally once daily.

Treatment should be continued until disease progression or until treatment is no longer tolerated by the patient.

Patients with Renal impairment

No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild (eGFR ≥ 60 to ˂ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2) or moderate (eGFR ≥ 30 to ˂ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) renal impairment. A recommended dose has not been determined for patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR ˂ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2).

TIBSOVO should be used with caution in patients with severe renal impairment and this patient population should be closely monitored (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and 10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, 10.3 Pharmacokinetics).

Patients with Hepatic impairment

No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child Pugh class A). A recommended dose has not been determined for patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh classes B and C).

TIBSOVO should be used with caution in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment and this patient population should be closely monitored (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and 10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, 10.3 Pharmacokinetics).

Geriatrics (≥ 65 years of age)

No dose adjustment is required in elderly patients (≥ 65 years old, see 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS and 10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, 10.3 Pharmacokinetics). No data are available for patients aged 85 years or older.

Pediatrics (< 18 years of age)

Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use.

4.4 Administration

TIBSOVO should be taken orally once daily at about the same time each day. Patients should not eat anything for 2 hours before and through 1 hour after taking the tablets. (see 10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, 10.3 Pharmacokinetics).

The tablets should be swallowed whole with water.

4.5 Missed Dose

If a dose of TIBSOVO is missed, the dose should be taken as soon as possible within 12 hours after the missed dose. Two doses of TIBSOVO should not be taken within 12 hours to make up for a missed dose. Return to normal dosing schedule the next day.

If a dose is vomited, replacement tablets should not be taken. The tablets should be taken as usual the following day.

5 OVERDOSAGE

In the event of overdose, toxicity is likely to manifest as exacerbation of the adverse reactions associated with TIBSOVO (see 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS). Patients should be closely monitored, including ECG monitoring, and provided with appropriate supportive care (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).

There is no specific antidote for TIBSOVO overdose.

For management of a suspected drug overdose, contact your regional poison control centre.

General

Differentiation syndrome in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Differentiation syndrome has been reported following treatment with TIBSOVO (see 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS). Differentiation syndrome may be life-threatening or fatal if not treated (see below and 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and

differentiation of myeloid cells. Symptoms include non-infectious leukocytosis, peripheral edema, pyrexia, dyspnea, pleural effusion, hypotension, hypoxia, pulmonary edema, pneumonitis, pericardial effusion, rash, fluid overload, tumor lysis syndrome and creatinine increased. Patients must be informed of signs and symptoms of differentiation syndrome, be advised to contact their health professional immediately if these occur and the need to carry the Patient Alert Card with them at all times.

In study AG120-C-009, the median time to onset of differentiation syndrome was 20 days. Differentiation syndrome occurred as early as 3 days and up to 33 days after treatment initiation during combination therapy.

If differentiation syndrome is suspected, administer systemic corticosteroids and initiate hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution and for a minimum of 3 days.

If leukocytosis is observed, initiate treatment with hydroxyurea according to institutional standards of care and leukapheresis as clinically indicated (see 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS).

Taper corticosteroids and hydroxyurea only after resolution of symptoms. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroid and/or hydroxyurea treatment. Interrupt treatment with TIBSOVO if severe signs/symptoms persist for more than 48 hours after the initiation of systemic corticosteroids and resume treatment at 500 mg TIBSOVO once daily when the signs/symptoms are moderate or lower and upon improvement in the patient’s clinical condition (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).

Cardiovascular

QTc interval prolongation

QTc interval prolongation has been reported following treatment with TIBSOVO (see 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS). An ECG must be performed prior to treatment initiation, at least weekly during the first 3 weeks of therapy and then monthly thereafter if the QTc interval remains ≤ 480 msec (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Any abnormalities should be managed promptly (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). In case of suggestive symptomatology, an ECG should be performed as clinically indicated. Conduct regular monitoring of electrolytes. In case of severe vomiting and/or diarrhea, an assessment of serum electrolytes abnormalities, especially hypokalemia and magnesium, must be performed.

QTc interval prolongation can lead to an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias including torsades de pointes. Torsades de pointes is a polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Generally, the risk of torsades de pointes increases with the magnitude of QTc prolongation produced by the drug. If sustained, torsades de pointes can progress to ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death.

Risk factors for torsades de pointes in the general population include, but are not limited to, the following: female gender, age ≥65 years, baseline prolongation of the QTc interval, presence of genetic variants affecting cardiac ion channels or regulatory proteins (especially congenital long QT syndromes), family history of sudden cardiac death at <50 years of age, cardiac disease (e.g., myocardial ischemia or infarction, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, conduction system disease), history of arrhythmias, electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia), conditions leading to electrolyte disturbances (e.g., persistent vomiting, eating disorders), bradycardia, acute neurological events (e.g., intracranial or subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke, intracranial trauma), diabetes mellitus, and autonomic neuropathy.

Patients should be informed of the risk of QT prolongation, its signs and symptoms (palpitations, dizziness, syncope or even cardiac arrest) and be advised to contact their health professional immediately if these occur.

Concomitant administration of medicinal products known to prolong the QTc interval, and CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation and should be avoided whenever possible during treatment with TIBSOVO (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS). Patients should be treated with caution and closely monitored for QTc interval prolongation if use of a suitable alternative is not possible. ECG should be performed prior to co-administration and then as clinically indicated. The dose of TIBSOVO should be reduced to 250 mg once daily if a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided.

If administration of furosemide is clinically indicated to manage signs/symptoms of differentiation syndrome, patients should be closely monitored for electrolyte imbalances and QTc interval prolongation.

Patients with congestive heart failure or electrolyte abnormalities should be monitored closely, with periodic monitoring of ECGs and electrolytes, during treatment with TIBSOVO.

Treatment with TIBSOVO should be permanently discontinued if patients develop QTc interval prolongation with signs or symptoms of life-threatening arrhythmia (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).

TIBSOVO should be used with caution in patients who either have low albumin levels or are underweight.

Dependence/Tolerance

Lactose intolerance

TIBSOVO contains lactose. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should avoid this medicinal product.

Driving and Operating Machinery

TIBSOVO has minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines. Fatigue and dizziness have been reported in some patients taking TIBSOVO (see 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS) and should be considered when assessing a patient’s ability to drive or operate machines.

Hepatic/Biliary/Pancreatic

Patients with hepatic impairment

The safety and efficacy of TIBSOVO have not been established in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh classes B and C). TIBSOVO should be used with caution in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment and this patient population should be closely monitored (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and 10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, 10.3 Pharmacokinetics).

Renal

Patients with severe renal impairment

The safety and efficacy of TIBSOVO have not been established in patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR ˂ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2). TIBSOVO should be used with caution in patients with severe renal impairment and this patient population should be closely monitored (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and 10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, 10.3 Pharmacokinetics).

Reproductive Health: Female and Male Potential

Women of childbearing potential should have a pregnancy test prior to starting treatment with TIBSOVO and should avoid becoming pregnant during therapy (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).

Women of childbearing potential and males with female partners of childbearing potential should use effective contraception during treatment with TIBSOVO and for at least 1 month after the last dose.

TIBSOVO may decrease the systemic concentrations of hormonal contraceptives (such as norethisterone and ethinyl estradiol) and, therefore, concomitant use of an alternative contraceptive method such as barrier contraceptives is recommended (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS).

Fertility

There are no human data on the effect of ivosidenib on fertility. No fertility studies in animals have been conducted to evaluate the effect of ivosidenib. Undesirable effects on reproductive organs were observed in a 28-day repeat dose toxicity study (see 16 NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY). The clinical relevance of these effects is unknown.

7.1 Special Populations

7.1.1 Pregnant Women

There are no adequate data on the use of ivosidenib in pregnant women. Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity (see 16 NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY).

TIBSOVO is not recommended for use during pregnancy and in women of childbearing potential not using effective contraception. Patients should be informed of the potential risk to the fetus if it is used during pregnancy or if a patient (or female partner of a treated male patient) becomes pregnant during treatment or during the one-month period after the last dose.

7.1.2 Breast-feeding

It is unknown whether ivosidenib and its metabolites are excreted in human milk. No studies in animals have been conducted to evaluate the excretion of ivosidenib and its metabolites in milk. A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded.

Breast-feeding should be discontinued during treatment with TIBSOVO and for at least 1 month after the last dose.

7.1.3 Pediatrics

Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): No data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use.

7.1.4 Geriatrics

Geriatrics (> 65 years of age): No overall differences in effectiveness or safety were observed between patients who were 65 years of age and older compared to younger patients. No dose adjustment is required in elderly patients (≥ 65 years old, see 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS and 10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, 10.3 Pharmacokinetics). No data are available for patients aged 85 years or older.

8 ADVERSE REACTIONS

8.1 Adverse Reaction Overview

Newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia in combination with azacitidine

The safety of TIBSOVO in combination with azacitidine was evaluated in AML patients, in Study AG120-C-009. Patients received at least one dose of either TIBSOVO 500 mg daily or placebo. The median duration of treatment was 6 months (range 0 to 33 months) with TIBSOVO in combination with azacitidine.

The most common adverse reactions were vomiting (22%), neutropenia (19%), electrocardiogram QT prolonged (19%), differentiation syndrome (14%) and thrombocytopenia (14%).

The serious adverse reactions were differentiation syndrome (8%), neutropenia (1%) and thrombocytopenia (1%).

Fatal adverse events occurred in 15% of patients receiving TIBSOVO, including pneumonia and haemorrhage intracranial (3%) cases, and COVID-19, septic shock, ischaemic stroke, seizure, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, adenocarcinoma and pulmonary embolism (1%). None were considered as treatment-related by the Investigator.

In patients treated with TIBSOVO in combination with azacitidine, the frequency of discontinuation of TIBSOVO due to adverse reactions was 6%. Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were thrombocytopenia (3%), electrocardiogram QT prolonged and neutropenia (1%).

The frequency of dose reduction of TIBSOVO due to adverse reactions was 18%. Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction were electrocardiogram QT prolonged (10%), neutropenia (7%) and thrombocytopenia (1%).

Previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma

The safety of TIBSOVO was studied in patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma in Study AG120-C-005. Patients received at least one dose of either TIBSOVO 500 mg daily or placebo. The median duration of treatment was 2.8 months (range 0.1 to 45.1 months) with TIBSOVO.

The most common adverse reactions were diarrhea (23%), nausea (23%) and fatigue (20%).

The serious adverse reactions were electrocardiogram QT prolonged, hyperbilirubinemia, and jaundice cholestatic (1%).

Fatal adverse events occurred in 5% of patients receiving TIBSOVO, including sepsis (2%) and pneumonia, intestinal obstruction, pulmonary embolism, and hepatic encephalopathy (1%). None were considered treatment-related by the Investigator.

In patients treated with TIBSOVO, the frequency of treatment discontinuation due to adverse reactions was 1%. Adverse reaction leading to discontinuation was hyperbilirubinemia (1%).

The frequency of dose interruption of TIBSOVO due to adverse reactions was 2%. The adverse reactions leading to dose interruption were fatigue (2%) and jaundice cholestatic (1%).

The frequency of dose reduction of TIBSOVO due to adverse reactions was 4%. Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction were electrocardiogram QT prolonged (3%) and neuropathy peripheral (1%).

8.2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions

Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials; therefore, may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug. Adverse reaction information from clinical trials may be useful in identifying and approximating rates of adverse drug reactions in real-world use.

AG120-C-009 Study (Newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia in combination with azacitidine)

In the randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 Study AG120-C-009, the safety profile of TIBSOVO was studied in patients with newly diagnosed AML. 72 patients were treated with TIBSOVO (500 mg daily) in combination with azacitidine, and 74 patients were given placebo in combination with azacitidine. The most common adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities observed in Study AG120-C-009 are shown in Table 3.

Of the 72 patients with newly diagnosed AML who were treated with TIBSOVO in combination with azacitidine in study AG120-C-009, electrocardiogram QT prolonged was reported and assessed as related to TIBSOVO in 19% of patients. Ten percent (10%) of patients experienced Grade 3 or higher reactions. Based on ECG analysis, 17% of patients treated with TIBSOVO in combination with azacitidine, who had at least one post-baseline ECG assessment, were found to have a QTc interval ˃ 500 msec, 26% had an increase from baseline QTc ˃ 60 msec (Table 7). One percent (1%) of patients discontinued TIBSOVO treatment due to electrocardiogram QT prolonged, dose interruption and reduction were required in 8% and 10% of patients, respectively. The median time to onset of QT prolongation assessed as related to TIBSOVO in patients treated with TIBSOVO was 31 days. Electrocardiogram QT prolonged occurred as early as 4 days and up to 27 months after treatment initiation.

This may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation and suitable alternatives that are not moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors should be considered whenever possible during treatment with TIBSOVO. Patients should be treated with caution and closely monitored for QTc interval prolongation if use of a suitable alternative is not possible. If use of moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors cannot be avoided, the recommended dose of TIBSOVO should be reduced to 250 mg once daily (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and 7 WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS).

10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

10.1 Mechanism of Action

Ivosidenib is an inhibitor of the mutant IDH1 enzyme. Mutant IDH1 converts alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG) to 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) which blocks cellular differentiation and promotes tumorigenesis in both hematologic and non-hematologic malignancies. The mechanism of action of ivosidenib beyond its ability to reduce 2-HG and restore cellular differentiation is not fully understood across indications.

10.2 Pharmacodynamics

Multiple doses of ivosidenib 500 mg daily decreased plasma concentrations of 2-HG in patients with hematological malignancies and cholangiocarcinoma with mutated IDH1 to levels approximating those observed in healthy subjects. In bone marrow of patients with hematological malignancies and in tumor biopsy of patients with cholangiocarcinoma, the mean (% coefficient of variation [%CV]) reduction in 2-HG concentrations were 93.1% (11.1%) and 82.2% (32.4%), respectively.

Using an ivosidenib concentration-QTc model constructed using triplicate ECG data from 136 patients with R/R AML, a concentration-dependent QTc interval prolongation of approximately 16.1 msec (90% CI: 13.3, 18.9) was predicted at the steady-state Cmax based on an analysis of 173 patients with advanced hematological malignancies, primarily R/R AML, who received 500 mg ivosidenib once daily. From a concentration-QTc model generated using triplicate ECG data from 101 patients with solid tumors (45.5% cholangiocarcinoma), a concentration-dependent prolongation of approximately 17.2 msec (90% CI: 14.3, 20.2) was predicted at the steady-state Cmax following a 500 mg daily dose using data from 166 patients with cholangiocarcinoma pooled from a phase 1 and phase 3 study (7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, 7.1 Special populations and 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS).

a Tmax expressed as median

A total of 10 clinical studies have contributed to the characterisation of the clinical pharmacology of ivosidenib. Five studies have been conducted in healthy subjects and 3 studies have been conducted in patients with advanced malignancies including 2 studies in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. Two studies have been conducted in patients with newly diagnosed AML receiving ivosidenib in combination with azacitidine. Pharmacokinetic endpoints have been assessed in plasma and urine. Pharmacodynamic endpoints have been assessed in plasma, urine, tumor biopsy, and bone marrow (for studies in patients with advanced malignancies only).

The steady-state pharmacokinetics of ivosidenib 500 mg were comparable between patients with newly diagnosed AML and cholangiocarcinoma.

Absorption

After a single 500 mg oral dose, the median time to Cmax (Tmax) was approximately 2 hours in newly diagnosed AML patients treated with a combination of ivosidenib and azacitidine and in cholangiocarcinoma patients.

In patients with newly diagnosed AML treated with a combination of ivosidenib (500 mg daily dose) and azacitidine, the mean steady-state Cmax was 6,145 ng/mL (CV%: 34) and the mean steady-state AUC was 106,326 ng hr/mL (CV%: 41).

In patients with cholangiocarcinoma, the mean Cmax was 4,060 ng/mL (%CV: 45) after a single dose of 500 mg and 4,799 ng/mL (CV%: 33) at steady state for 500 mg daily. The AUC was 86,382 ng·hr/mL (CV%: 34).

Accumulation ratios were approximately 1.6 for AUC and 1.2 for Cmax in patients with newly diagnosed AML treated with a combination of ivosidenib and azacitidine and approximately 1.5 for AUC and 1.2 for Cmax in patients with cholangiocarcinoma, over one month, when ivosidenib was administered at 500 mg daily. Steady-state plasma levels were reached within 14 days of once daily dosing.

Significant increases in ivosidenib Cmax (by approximately 98%) and AUCT (by approximately 26%) were observed following administration of a single dose of 500 mg ivosidenib tablets with a high-fat meal (approximately 900 to 1,000 calories, 56% to 60% fat) in healthy subjects (see 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS, 9.5 Drug-Food interactions, 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).

Distribution

Based on a population pharmacokinetic analysis the mean apparent volume of distribution of ivosidenib at steady-state (Vc/F) is 3.20 L/kg (CV%: 47.8) in patients with newly diagnosed AML treated with a combination of ivosidenib and azacitidine and 2.97 L/kg (CV%: 25.9) in patients with cholangiocarcinoma treated with ivosidenib monotherapy.

Metabolism

Ivosidenib was the predominant component (> 92%) of total radioactivity in plasma from healthy subjects. It is primarily metabolised by oxidative pathways mediated largely by CYP3A4 with minor contributions by N dealkylation and hydrolytic pathways.

Ivosidenib induces CYP3A4 (including its own metabolism), and CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and may induce CYP2C19 and UGTs. Therefore, it may decrease systemic exposure of substrates of these enzymes (see 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS and 7 WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS, 7.1 Special Populations).

Ivosidenib is a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and has the potential to induce P-gp. Ivosidenib is not a substrate for BCRP or hepatic transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).

Ivosidenib is an inhibitor of OAT3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3 and P-gp. Ivosidenib does not inhibit BCRP, OAT1, and OCT2 (see 9 DRUG INTERACTIONS).

Elimination

In patients with newly diagnosed AML treated with a combination of ivosidenib and azacitidine, the mean apparent clearance of ivosidenib at steady state was 4.6 L/hour (35%) with a mean terminal half-life of 98 hours (42%).

In patients with cholangiocarcinoma, the mean apparent clearance of ivosidenib at steady state was 6.1 L/hour (31%) with a mean terminal half-life of 129 hours (102%).

In healthy subjects, 77% of a single ivosidenib oral dose was found in the faeces of which 67% was recovered unchanged. Approximately 17% of a single oral dose was found in the urine of which 10% was recovered unchanged.

Linearity/non-linearity

The AUC and Cmax of ivosidenib increased in a less than dose proportional manner from 200 mg to 1,200 mg once daily (0.4 to 2.4 times the recommended dose).

Special Populations and Conditions

  • Geriatrics: No clinically meaningful effects on the pharmacokinetics of ivosidenib were observed in older patients up to 84 years. The pharmacokinetics of ivosidenib in patients 85 years of age or older is unknown (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
  • Hepatic Insufficiency: Using the NCI classification, no clinically meaningful effects on the pharmacokinetics of ivosidenib were observed in patients with mild hepatic impairment. The pharmacokinetics of ivosidenib in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment are unknown in patients with newly diagnosed AML and with cholangiocarcinoma. No PK data in patients with hepatic impairment stratified by the Child-Pugh classification are available (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
  • Renal Insufficiency: No clinically meaningful effects on the pharmacokinetics of ivosidenib were observed in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2). The pharmacokinetics of ivosidenib in patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) or renal impairment requiring dialysis are unknown (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
  • Other: No clinically meaningful effects on the pharmacokinetics of ivosidenib were observed based on gender, race, body weight or ECOG performance status.

14 CLINICAL TRIALS

14.1 Clinical Trials by Indication

Newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia in combination with azacitidine

The efficacy and safety of TIBSOVO was evaluated in a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study (AG120-C-009) of 146 adult patients with previously untreated AML with an IDH1 mutation who were ineligible for intensive induction chemotherapy, based on at least one of the following criteria: 75 years or older, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2, severe cardiac or pulmonary disease, hepatic impairment with bilirubin > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, creatinine clearance < 45 mL/min, or other comorbidity. Gene mutation analysis for central confirmation of IDH1 mutation from bone marrow and/or peripheral blood were conducted for all subjects. Patients were randomized to receive either TIBSOVO 500 mg or matched placebo orally once daily with azacitidine 75 mg/m2/day subcutaneously or intravenously for 1 week every 4 weeks until the end of the study, disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

An updated OS analysis, carried out at 64.2% (N = 95) of events, confirmed the overall survival benefit of TIBSOVO in combination with azacitidine compared to placebo in combination with azacitidine with a median OS of 29.3 months vs 7.9 months, respectively (HR = 0.42; 95% CI: 0.27 to 0.65).

Previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma

The efficacy of TIBSOVO was evaluated in a randomized (2:1), multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 clinical trial (Study AG120-C-005) of 185 adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an IDH1 R132 mutation whose disease had progressed following at least 1 but not more than 2 prior treatment regimens including at least one gemcitabine- or 5-FU-containing regimen and an expected survival of ≥ 3 months.

Patients were randomized to receive either TIBSOVO 500 mg orally once daily or matched placebo until disease progression or development of unacceptable toxicity. Randomization was stratified by number of prior therapies (1 or 2). Eligible patients who were randomized to placebo were allowed to cross over to receive TIBSOVO after documented radiographic disease progression as assessed by the investigator.

The primary efficacy outcome measure was Progression Free Survival (PFS) as determined by Independent Radiology Center (IRC) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, which was defined as time from randomization to disease progression or death due to any cause.

Overall Survival (OS) was a secondary efficacy endpoint. As allowed per protocol, a large proportion (70.5%) of patients in the placebo arm crossed over to receive TIBSOVO following radiographic disease progression as assessed by the Investigator.

Efficacy results are summarised in Table 16.

1 Hazard ratio is calculated from stratified Cox regression model. Stratification factor is the number of prior line of therapies at randomization.

2 P-value is calculated from the one-sided stratified log-rank test without adjusting for crossover. Stratification factor is the number of prior line of therapies at randomization.

3 Based on Kaplan-Meier estimation. No patients randomized to placebo achieved PFS of 6 months or longer.

4 OS results are based on the final analysis of OS (based on 150 deaths; data cut off: 31 May 2020) which occurred 16 months after the final analysis of PFS (data cut off: 31 January 2019).

16 NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

General Toxicology:

Safety pharmacology

The potential of ivosidenib for QT prolongation was evidenced in in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies at clinically relevant plasma levels.

Repeat-dose toxicity

In animal studies at clinically relevant exposures, ivosidenib induced haematologic abnormalities (bone marrow hypocellularity, lymphoid depletion, decreased red cell mass together with extramedullary haematopoiesis in the spleen), gastrointestinal toxicity, thyroid findings (follicular cell hypertrophy/hyperplasia in rats), liver toxicity (elevated transaminases, increased weights, hepatocellular hypertrophy and necrosis in rats and hepatocellular hypertrophy associated with increased liver weights in monkeys) and kidney findings (tubular vacuolation and necrosis in rats). Toxic effects observed on haematologic system, GI system and kidney were reversible whereas the toxic effects observed on liver, spleen and thyroid were still observed at the end of the recovery period.

Carcinogenicity:

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with ivosidenib.

Genotoxicity:

Ivosidenib was not mutagenic or clastogenic in conventional in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity assays.

Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology:

Fertility studies have not been conducted with ivosidenib. In the 28-day repeat dose toxicity study in rats, uterine atrophy was observed in females at non-tolerated dose levels approximately 1.7-fold the clinical exposure (based on AUC) and was reversible after a 14-day recovery period. Testicular degeneration was observed in males at non-tolerated dose levels approximately 1.2-fold the clinical exposure (based on AUC) in animals prematurely euthanized.

In embryofoetal development studies in rats, lower foetal body weights and delayed skeletal ossification occurred in the absence of maternal toxicity. In rabbits, maternal toxicity, spontaneous abortions, decreased foetal body weights, increased post implantation loss, delayed skeletal ossification and visceral development variation (small spleen) were observed. Animal studies indicate that ivosidenib crosses the placenta and is found in foetal plasma. In rats and rabbits, the no adverse effect levels for embryofoetal development were 0.4-fold and 1.4-fold the clinical exposure (based on AUC), respectively.
