OGSIVEO

NIROGACESTAT

Standard Dose
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dosage is 150 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ( 2.1 ) See Full Prescribing Information for dosage modifications due to adverse reactions. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of OGSIVEO is 150 mg administered orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. OGSIVEO may be taken with or without food. Instruct patients to swallow OGSIVEO tablets whole and not to break, crush, or chew prior to swallowing. If a patient vomits or misses a dose, instruct the patient to take the next dose at its scheduled time. 2.2 Dos ag e Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended dose modifications for OGSIVEO for selected severe adverse reactions are summarized in Table 1 [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ) , Adverse Reactions ( 6 ) ]. For other severe adverse reactions, life-threatening adverse reactions, or persistent intolerable Grade 2 adverse reactions, withhold drug until resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline. Only restart at a dosage of 100 mg twice daily after considering the potential benefit and likelihood of recurrence of the adverse reaction. Permanently discontinue OGSIVEO for recurrence of severe or life-threatening adverse reaction upon rechallenge at the reduced dose. Table 1. Recommended Dose Modifications for Adverse Reactions Adverse Reaction Severity OGSIVEO Dosage Modifications Diarrhea persisting for ≥ 3 days despite maximal medical therapy [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ] Grades 3 or 4 Withhold OGSIVEO until resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline, then restart at a dosage of 100 mg twice daily. Increased ALT or AST [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ) ] Grade 2 (≥ 3 to 5 × ULN) Withhold OGSIVEO until ALT, AST, or both are resolved to 5 × ULN) Permanently discontinue. Hypophosphatemia persisting for ≥ 3 days despite maximal replacement therapy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ) ] Grades 3 or 4 Withhold OGSIVEO until resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline, then restart at a dose of 100 mg twice daily. Hypokalemia despite maximal replacement therapy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ) ] Grades 3 or 4 Withhold OGSIVEO until resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline, then restart at a dosage of 100 mg twice daily.

Warnings and cautions 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Diarrhea : Severe diarrhea can occur. Monitor and dose modify for Grade 3-4 diarrhea. ( 5.1 ) Ovarian Toxicity : Female reproductive function and fertility may be impaired. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk prior to treatment and monitor routinely. ( 5.2 ) Hepatotoxicity : Elevated AST and ALT can occur. Monitor AST and ALT regularly and modify dose as recommended. ( 5.3 ) Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers : Perform dermatologic examination prior to initiation of OGSIVEO and routinely during treatment. ( 5.4 ) Electrolyte Abnormalities : Monitor phosphate and potassium regularly and modify dose as recommended. ( 5.5 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.6 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Diarrhea Diarrhea, sometimes severe, can occur in patients treated with OGSIVEO [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ) ] . In DeFi, diarrhea occurred in 84% of patients treated with OGSIVEO, and included Grade 3 events in 16% of patients. Median time to first diarrhea event for patients treated with OGSIVEO was 9 days (range: 2 to 434 days). Monitor patients and manage using antidiarrheal medications. Modify dose as recommended [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) ]. 5. 2 Ovarian Toxicity Female reproductive function and fertility may be impaired in patients being treated with OGSIVEO. Impact on fertility may depend on factors including the duration of therapy and the state of gonadal function at the time of treatment. The long-term effects of OGSIVEO on fertility have not been established. Advise patients on the potential risks for ovarian toxicity before initiating treatment with OGSIVEO [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.3 ) ]. Monitor patients for changes in menstrual cycle regularity or the development of symptoms of estrogen deficiency, including hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. 5. 3 Hepatotoxicity ALT or AST elevations occurred in 30% and 33% of patients who received OGSIVEO in DeFi, respectively. Grade 3 ALT or AST elevations (> 5 × ULN) occurred in 6% and 2.9% of patients, respectively [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ) ] . Monitor liver function tests regularly and modify dose as recommended [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) ] . 5. 4 Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers New non-melanoma skin
