WARNINGS

Included as part of the "PRECAUTIONS" Section

PRECAUTIONS

Hypertension

Hypertension can occur with TAVALISSE treatment; hypertensive crisis occurred in 1% of patients. Patients with pre-existing hypertension may be more susceptible to the hypertensive effects of TAVALISSE.

Monitor blood pressure every 2 weeks until stable, then monthly and adjust or initiate antihypertensive therapy to ensure maintenance of blood pressure control during TAVALISSE therapy. If increased blood pressure persists despite appropriate therapy, TAVALISSE interruption, reduction or discontinuation may be necessary [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Hepatotoxicity

Elevated liver function tests (LFTs), mainly ALT and AST, can occur with TAVALISSE.

In the placebo-controlled studies, laboratory testing showed maximum ALT/AST levels more than 3 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) in 9% of patients receiving TAVALISSE [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. For most patients, transaminases recovered to baseline levels within 2 to 6 weeks of dose-modification. Monitor liver function tests monthly during treatment. If ALT or AST increase more than 3 x ULN, manage hepatotoxicity using TAVALISSE interruption, reduction, or discontinuation [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Diarrhea

Diarrhea occurred in 31% of patients treated with TAVALISSE. Severe diarrhea occurred in 1% of patients treated with TAVALISSE. Monitor patients for the development of diarrhea. Manage diarrhea using supportive care measures, including dietary changes, hydration and/or antidiarrheal medication, early after the onset of symptoms. Interrupt, dose reduce, or discontinue TAVALISSE if diarrhea becomes severe (Grade 3 or above) [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Neutropenia

Neutropenia occurred in 6% of patients treated with TAVALISSE; febrile neutropenia occurred in 1% of patients.

Monitor the ANC monthly, and for infection during treatment. Manage toxicity with TAVALISSE interruption, reduction or discontinuation [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, TAVALISSE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of fostamatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes including embryo-fetal mortality (post-implantation loss), alterations to growth (lower fetal weights), and structural abnormalities (variations and malformations) at maternal exposures (AUCs) approximately 0.3 and 10 times the human exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), respectively. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 1 month after the last dose. [see Use In Specific Populations and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].

Patient Counseling Information

Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION).

• Hypertension:
  Inform patients that periodic monitoring of their blood pressure is required, as high blood pressure has occurred in patients taking TAVALISSE. Inform patients of the signs and symptoms of hypertension. Advise patients to undergo routine blood pressure monitoring and to contact their health care provider if blood pressure is elevated or if they experience signs or symptoms of hypertension [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ].
• Hepatotoxicity
  Inform patients that periodic monitoring of their liver enzymes is required, and any elevations (which may indicate liver injury) will be managed appropriately, including interruption, reduction,, or discontinuation of TAVALISSE [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
• Diarrhea
  Advise patients to use supportive care measures, and if diarrhea becomes severe, it may necessitate interruption, reduction, or discontinuation of TAVALISSE [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
• Neutropenia
  Inform patients that monitoring of their complete blood counts is required, and a decrease in neutrophils may necessitate interruption, reduction, or discontinuation of TAVALISSE [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
• Advise patients to inform their healthcare providers of all their medications, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal products [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
• Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
  Advise females to inform their healthcare provider if they are pregnant or become pregnant. Inform female patients of the potential risk to a fetus [see Use In Specific Populations].

  Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 1 month after receiving the last dose of TAVALISSE [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and Use In Specific Populations ].

• Lactation

Advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment with TAVALISSE and for at least 1 month after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].

• Inform patients that TAVALISSE may be taken with or without food. In the case of a missed dose of TAVALISSE, instruct patients to take their next dose at its regularly scheduled time.

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility

Fostamatinib was not carcinogenic in a 2-year study in mice when administered daily by oral gavage at doses up to 500/250 mg/kg/day, and was not carcinogenic in rats when administered by oral gavage at 45 mg/kg/day.

Fostamatinib and its major active metabolite (R406) were not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay or clastogenic in an in vitro human lymphocyte chromosomal aberration assay or an in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay.

In a fertility study with oral fostamatinib, all mating (e.g., time to mating, breeding proficiency), sperm assessments (e.g., number and motility), and organ weight (e.g., paired testis weight) parameters in male rats were unaffected by dosages as high as 40 mg/kg/day, which is 6.7 times the MRHD. All mating and fertility parameters in female rats were unaffected by dosages as high as 11 mg/kg/day (which is 1.8 times the MRHD), but a slight decrease in pregnancy rates and an increase in post-implantation loss were seen at 25 mg/kg/day, which is 4.2 times the MRHD.

Use In Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Based on findings from animal studies and the mechanism of action, TAVALISSE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].

There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of fostamatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes that were directly attributed to exposure in utero to the major fostamatinib metabolite (R406) at maternal exposures (AUC) as low as 0.3 and 10 times the exposure in patients at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), respectively (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. An estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the chronic ITP population is 8% and 4-11%, respectively.

Data

Animal Data

In a fertility and early embryonic development study in female rats, fostamatinib was administered orally for 15 days before mating to Day 7 of pregnancy, which caused a slight decrease in pregnancy rates and an increase in post-implantation loss were seen at maternal doses approximately 4.2 times the dose in patients at the MRHD.

In embryo-fetal development studies, pregnant animals were orally administered fostamatinib during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 25 and 50 mg/kg/day in rats and rabbits, respectively. The adverse developmental outcomes included an increase in embryo-fetal mortality (post-implantation loss), alterations to growth (lower fetal weights), and structural abnormalities (variations and malformations). These effects occurred at maternal exposures (AUCs) of 3,763 ng.h/mL in rats and 111,105 ng.h/mL in rabbits that were that were approximately 0.3 and 10 times the human exposure at the MRHD in rats and rabbits, respectively.

In a peri and postnatal development study in rats, fostamatinib was orally administered at doses of 2.5, 12.5, and 25 mg/kg/day from gestation day 7 until lactation day 20. The dose of 25 mg/kg/day was associated with maternal toxicity, including decreased body weights, body weight gains, and food consumption. At doses as low as 12.5 mg/kg/day fostamatinib caused increases in newborn mortality (neonatal mortality), alterations in growth and/or development (lower neonatal weights into post-weaning and structural abnormalities [malformations]). Functional impairment (delayed sexual maturation) was observed at 25 mg/kg/day. There was no evidence of neurobehavioral defects (maze learning and shuttle box avoidance) or immunological compromise (influenza host resistance challenge) in the F1 generation or latent untoward effects in the F2 generation. The maternal doses were approximately 2.1 and 4.2 times the MHRD in patients.

Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of fostamatinib and/or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production. In rodents, R406 (the major active metabolite) was detected in maternal milk in concentrations 5-to 10-fold higher than in maternal plasma. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child from TAVALISSE, advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with TAVALISSE and for at least 1 month after the last dose.

Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential

Pregnancy Testing

Based on animal studies, TAVALISSE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use In Specific Populations]. For females of reproductive potential, verify pregnancy status prior to initiating TAVALISSE.

Contraception

Females

Based on animal studies, TAVALISSE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use In Specific Populations]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TAVALISSE and for at least 1 month after the last dose.

Infertility

There are no data on the effect of TAVALISSE on human fertility. Based on the finding of reduced pregnancy rates in animal studies, TAVALISSE may affect female fertility [see Use In Specific Populations].

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. TAVALISSE is not recommended for use in patients less than 18 years of age because adverse effects on actively growing bones were observed in nonclinical studies. In subchronic, chronic, and carcinogenicity studies of TAVALISSE, chondrodystrophy of the femoral head was seen in rodents. In a study in juvenile rabbits, growth plate dysplasia was observed in the proximal femur and femoro-tibial joint, and bone marrow cellularity was reduced in the femur and sternum.

Geriatric Use

Of the 102 patients with ITP who received TAVALISSE, 28 (27%) were 65 years of age and older, while 11 (11%) were 75 years of age and older. In patients 65 years of age and older, 6 (21%) patients experienced serious adverse events and 5 (18%) experienced adverse events leading to treatment withdrawal while in patients under 65 years of age, 7 (9%) and 5 (7%) experienced serious adverse events and adverse events leading to treatment withdrawal, respectively. In patients 65 years of age and older who received TAVALISSE, 11 (39%) patients experienced hypertension versus 2 (18%) placebo compared to 17 (23%) in patients under 65 of age versus 4 (11%) placebo. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed in these patients compared to younger patients.

OVERDOSE

There is no specific antidote for overdose with TAVALISSE, and the amount of R406 (the pharmacologically active metabolite of fostamatinib) cleared by dialysis is negligible. In the event of an overdose, monitor patient closely for signs and symptoms of adverse reactions, and treat the reactions with supportive care [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

CONTRAINDICATIONS

None.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Mechanism Of Action

Fostamatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with demonstrated activity against spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK). The major metabolite of fostamatinib, R406, inhibits signal transduction of Fc-activating receptors and B-cell receptor. The fostamatinib metabolite R406 reduces antibody-mediated destruction of platelets.

Pharmacodynamics

Mean treatment-related increases of 2.93 mmHg in systolic blood pressure and 3.53 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure over placebo were observed following TAVALISSE doses of 100 mg twice daily for 28 days. About 31% of patients in the TAVALISSE group experienced blood pressures ≥140/90 mmHg compared to 15% of patients in the placebo group. Blood pressure returned to baseline within 1 week following TAVALISSE discontinuation in 58% (11 of 19) of patients in the TAVALISSE group who had blood pressures ≥140/90 mmHg.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

At 2 times the maximum recommended dose, TAVALISSE did not prolong the QT interval to a clinically relevant extent.

Pharmacokinetics

TAVALISSE is a prodrug that is converted in the gut to the major active metabolite, R406. Mean (± standard deviation [SD]) exposure estimates of R406 are 550 (± 270) ng/mL for Cmax and 7080 (± 2670) ng•h/mL for AUC. R406 exposure is approximately dose proportional up to 200 mg twice daily (1.3 times the 150 mg dosage). R406 accumulates approximately 2-to 3-fold upon twice daily dosing at 100–160 mg (0.67 to 1.06 times the 150 mg dosage).

Absorption

After oral administration of TAVALISSE, the absolute bioavailability of R406 was 55%. The median tmax of R406 is approximately 1.5 hours (range: 1 to 4 hours). Negligible levels of fostamatinib were found in plasma.

Effect of Food

Administration of TAVALISSE with a high-calorie, high-fat meal (deriving approximately 150, 250, and 500–600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively) increased R406 AUC by 23% and Cmax by 15% [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Distribution

In in vitro studies, the R406 is 98.3% protein bound in human plasma. The red blood cell to plasma concentration ratio is approximately 2.6. The mean (± SD) volume of distribution at steady-state of R406 is 256 (± 92) L.

Elimination

The mean (± SD) terminal half-life of R406 is approximately 15 (± 4.3) hours.

Metabolism

TAVALISSE is metabolized in the gut by alkaline phosphatase to the major active metabolite, R406. R406 is extensively metabolized, primarily through pathways of CYP450-mediated oxidation (by CYP3A4) and glucuronidation (by UDP glucuronosyltransferase [UGT]1A9). R406 is the predominant moiety in the systemic circulation, and there was minimal exposure to any R406 metabolites.

Excretion

Following an oral dose of TAVALISSE, approximately 80% of the R406 metabolite is excreted in feces with approximately 20% excreted in the urine. The major component excreted in urine was R406 Nglucuronide. The major components excreted in feces were R406, O-desmethyl R406 and a metabolite produced by gut bacteria from the O-desmethyl metabolite of R406.

Specific Populations

Population pharmacokinetics analyses indicate TAVALISSE is not altered based on age, sex, race/ethnicity. In addition, the pharmacokinetics of TAVALISSE is not altered in patients with renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] ≥ 30 to < 50 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft Gault equation and end stage renal disease requiring dialysis), or hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A, B and C).

Drug Interaction Studies

Clinical Pharmacology Studies

No significant interactions were seen with concomitant use of TAVALISSE with the following drugs: methotrexate (OAT1/3 transporters), midazolam (CYP3A4 substrate), microgynon (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel), warfarin, pioglitazone (CYP2C8 substrate) and ranitidine (H2-antagonist that increases gastric pH).

Effect Of Other Drugs On TAVALISSE

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitor:

Concomitant use of ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily for 3.5 days) with a single dose of 80 mg TAVALISSE (0.53 times the 150 mg dosage) increased R406 AUC by 102% and Cmax by 37%.

Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitor:

Concomitant use of verapamil (80 mg three times daily for 4 days) with a single dose of 150 mg TAVALISSE increased R406 AUC by 39% and Cmax by 6% .

CYP3A4 inducer:

Concomitant use of rifampicin (600 mg once daily for 8 days) with a single dose of 150 mg TAVALISSE decreased R406 AUC by 75% and Cmax by 59% .

Effect Of TAVALISSE On Other Drugs

CYP3A4 substrate:

Concomitant use of simvastatin (single dose 40 mg) with 100 mg twice daily TAVALISSE increased simvastatin AUC by 64% and Cmax by 113% and simvastatin acid AUC by 64% and Cmax by 83%.

BCRP substrate:

Concomitant use of rosuvastatin (single dose 20 mg) with 100 mg twice daily TAVALISSE increased rosuvastatin AUC by 95% and Cmax by 88%.

P-gp substrate:

Concomitant use of digoxin (0.25 mg once daily) with 100 mg twice daily TAVALISSE increased digoxin AUC by 37% and Cmax by 70% .

In Vitro Studies

TAVALISSE is an inhibitor of the human P-gp efflux transporter in vitro.

CYP3A4 and UGT1A9 are involved in the metabolism of R406. R406 is a substrate of P-gp but not of other major transporters (OAT1/3, OCT2, OATP1B1/3, MRP2, and BCRP). R406 can inhibit CYP3A4 and BCRP, and can induce CYP2C8 activity.

R406 is an inhibitor of UGT1A1. Inhibition of UGT1A1 may result in increased unconjugated bilirubin in the absence of other LFT abnormalities.

Clinical Studies

TAVALISSE was studied in two placebo-controlled efficacy and safety studies (referred to as FIT-1 [NCT02076399] and FIT-2 [NCT02076412]), and in an open-label extension study referred to as FIT-3 (NCT 02077192).

Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Studies

A total of 150 patients with persistent or chronic ITP, who had an insufficient response to previous treatment (which included corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, splenectomy, and/or a thrombopoietin receptor agonists) were enrolled in two identical, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies that were conducted in different countries. For each study, patients were randomized 2:1 to TAVALISSE or placebo for 24 weeks; randomization was stratified with respect to prior splenectomy and severity of thrombocytopenia. Stable concurrent ITP therapy (glucocorticoids [< 20 mg prednisone equivalent per day], azathioprine, or danazol) was allowed, and rescue therapy was permitted, if needed. All patients initially received study drug at 100 mg twice daily (or matching placebo). Based on platelet count and tolerability, dose escalation to 150 mg twice daily (or matching placebo) was undertaken in 88% of patients at Week 4 or later. Patients who did not respond to treatment after 12 weeks, as well as patients who completed the 24-week double blind study, were eligible to enroll in open-label extension study (FIT-3).

Patients enrolled in the placebo-controlled studies had a median age of 54 years (range: 20 to 88), and the majority were female (61%) and were White (93%). Prior ITP treatments were varied, with the most common including corticosteroids (94%), immunoglobulins (53%), and thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA) (48%). Most patients had chronic ITP (93%), with a median time since ITP diagnosis of 8.45 years, and 35% had undergone splenectomy. At baseline, the median platelet count was 16 x 10⁹/L (with almost half [45]%) less than 15 x 10⁹/L) and 47% were on stable ITP therapy.

In Study FIT-1, 76 patients were randomized; 51 to the TAVALISSE group and 25 to the placebo group. In Study FIT-2, 74 patients were randomized; 50 to the TAVALISSE group and 24 to the placebo group. The efficacy of TAVALISSE was based on stable platelet response (at least 50 x10⁹/L on at least 4 of the 6 visits between Weeks 14 to 24). Study outcomes for FIT-1 and FIT-2 are shown in Table 5.

NS = Did not demonstrate a stastistically significant difference between treatment arms

In the FIT-1 and FIT-2 studies a total of 47 patients in the TAVALISSE arm had received a prior TPORA treatment; among these patients, 8 patients (17%) achieved a stable response to TAVALISSE. All 8 patients had previously discontinued TPO-RA due to loss of effect. Rescue medication was required by 30% and 45% of patients receiving TAVALISSE or placebo, respectively.

During the placebo-controlled studies, the incidence of bleeding occurred in 29% and 37% of patients in the TAVALISSE and placebo arms, respectively. Moderate, severe and serious bleeding events are described in Table 6. All severe events led to hospitalizations.

Incidence of moderate bleeding-related adverse events	9 (9)	5 (10)
Incidence of severe bleeding-related adverse events	1 (1)	3 (6)
Incidence of serious bleeding-related adverse events	4 (4)	5 (10)

Extension Study

The FIT-3 trial is an open label extension study. Patients from FIT-1 and FIT-2 who completed 24 weeks of treatment, or who did not respond to treatment any time after 12 weeks, were eligible to enroll in this study. Patients remained blinded to their treatment assignment from the previous study (TAVALISSE or placebo), so their starting dose in this study was based on their final platelet count. Patients designated as responders (defined as achievement of platelet count of at least 50 x 10⁹/L) at the time of roll over continued in the extension study at their current trial dose and regimen. Patients who entered the extension study as non-responders (defined as platelet count less than 50 x 10⁹/L) received TAVALISSE 100 mg twice daily regardless of their dose and regimen in the prior study.

For the FIT-3 trial, 123 patients were enrolled, 44 patients previously randomized to placebo and 79 patients previously randomized to TAVALISSE. Stable response in this study was prospectively defined as no 2 visits, at least 4 weeks apart, with a platelet count less than 50 x 10⁹/L, without an intervening visit with a platelet count of at least 50 x 10⁹/L (unrelated to rescue therapy), within a period of 12 weeks following initial achievement of the target platelet count. Sixty-one of the 123 subjects (50%) have discontinued from the study early.

In a prospectively defined analysis, the 44 subjects treated with placebo in the prior study were evaluated for stable response for TAVALISSE. Ten of these subjects (23%) (including a single subject who was classified as a placebo responder in the prior study) met the criteria for stable response.

Among the subjects who achieved stable response in FIT-1, FIT-2 and FIT-3 trials, 18 subjects maintained the platelet count of at least 50 x 10⁹/L for 12 months or longer.

PATIENT INFORMATION

TAVALISSE™
(TAV-a-leese)
(fostamatinib) Tablets, for oral use

What is the most important information I should know about TAVALISSE?

TAVALISSE can cause important side effects, including:

• High blood pressure (hypertension): New or worsening high blood pressure has happened in people treated with TAVALISSE and can be severe. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly. Your healthcare provider may start you on blood pressure medicine or change current medicines to treat your blood pressure. Increased blood pressure can raise the risk for stroke and heart problems.
• Elevated liver enzyme levels: Increased liver enzymes (which may indicate liver injury) have happened with TAVALISSE, and can be severe. Your healthcare provider should do blood tests monthly to check your enzyme levels. The drug may need to be decreased or stopped if these tests suggest the possibility of liver damage.
• Gastrointestinal (GI) problems: TAVALISSE can cause GI upset, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or pain in your stomach area. Your healthcare provider may recommend changes in your diet, drinking more water, and/or medicine to limit these symptoms.
• Decrease in white blood cell counts: TAVALISSE can decrease your white blood cell count, which may increase your risk for infection, including serious infections. Your healthcare provider should do monthly blood tests to check your white blood cell counts.

What is TAVALISSE?

TAVALISSE is a prescription medicine called a SYK inhibitor. TAVALISSE is used to treat adults with low platelet counts (due to persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia [ITP]) when an earlier treatment for ITP has not worked well enough.

What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking TAVALISSE?

Before you take TAVALISSE, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

• Have high blood pressure or take medication to control your blood pressure
• Have liver problems
• Have had your spleen removed (splenectomy)
• Have recently had a blood clot in your legs or lungs
• Have recently had surgery
• Have recently had a serious infection
• Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Animal studies indicate a risk for harm to an unborn baby.
• Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. You and your healthcare provider should decide if you will take TAVALISSE or breastfeed. You should not do both.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-thecounter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Taking TAVALISSE with certain other medicines may affect how the other medicines work, how TAVALISSE works, and/or can cause side effects.

Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of them and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

How should I take TAVALISSE?

• Take TAVALISSE exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to take it.
• TAVALISSE may be taken with or without food.
• If you miss a dose of TAVALISSE, wait and take your next dose at its regularly scheduled time. Do not take two doses of TAVALISSE at the same time.
• If you take too much TAVALISSE, you may have a higher risk of serious side effects. Call your healthcare provider right away.
• Your healthcare provider will check your platelet count during your treatment with TAVALISSE and change your dose of TAVALISSE as needed.
• Your healthcare provider will check certain other blood tests (liver enzymes and white blood cells) to monitor the safety of TAVALISSE and change your dose of TAVALISSE as needed.
• Tell your healthcare provider about any bruising or bleeding that happens while you take and after you stop taking TAVALISSE.

What are the possible side effects of TAVALISSE?

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
