Discontinue treatment with CIBINQO if serious or opportunistic infection occurs. Test for latent TB before and during therapy; treat latent TB prior to use. Monitor all patients for active TB during treatment, even patients with initial negative latent TB test. ( 5.1 ) • Higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden cardiovascular death, with another JAK inhibitor vs. TNF blockers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. CIBINQO is not approved for use in RA patients. ( 5.2 ) • Malignancies have occurred with CIBINQO. Higher rate of lymphomas and lung cancers with another JAK inhibitor vs. TNF blockers in RA patients. ( 5.3 ) • MACE has occurred with CIBINQO. Higher rate of MACE (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) with another JAK inhibitor vs. TNF blockers in RA patients. ( 5.4 ) • Thrombosis has occurred with CIBINQO. Increased incidence of pulmonary embolism, venous and arterial thrombosis with another JAK inhibitor vs. TNF blockers. ( 5.5 ) Serious Infections Patients treated with CIBINQO may be at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. The most frequent serious infections reported with CIBINQO were herpes simplex, herpes zoster, and pneumonia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . If a serious or opportunistic infection develops, discontinue CIBINQO and control the infection. Reported infections from Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions: • Active tuberculosis, which may present with pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease. Test for latent TB before and during therapy; treat latent TB prior to use. Monitor all patients for active TB during treatment, even patients with initial negative latent TB test. • Invasive fungal infections, including cryptococcosis and pneumocystosis. Patients with invasive fungal infections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease. • Bacterial, viral, including herpes zoster, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens. Avoid use of CIBINQO in patients with an active, serious infection including localized infections. The risks and benefits of treatment with CIBINQO should be carefully considered prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infections. Patients should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with CIBINQO, including the possible development of tuberculosis in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis infection prior to initiating therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Mortality In a large, randomized, postmarketing safety study in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor comparing another JAK inhibitor to TNF blocker treatment, a higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden cardiovascular death, was observed with the JAK inhibitor. CIBINQO is not approved for use in RA patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Malignancies Malignancies were reported in patients treated with CIBINQO. Lymphoma and other malignancies have been observed in patients receiving JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions.

Warnings and Cautions
openFDA Drug Labeling5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypoglycemia in Patients with Diabetes : Consider increased monitoring of blood glucose; advise diabetic patients to notify their healthcare provider if they develop signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia. ( 5.6 ) • Laboratory Abnormalities : Laboratory monitoring is recommended due to potential changes in platelets, lymphocytes, and lipids. ( 5.7 ) • Immunizations : Avoid use of live vaccines immediately prior to, during and immediately after CIBINQO treatment. ( 5.8 ) 5.1 Serious Infections The most frequent serious infections reported in clinical studies with CIBINQO for atopic dermatitis were herpes simplex, herpes zoster, and pneumonia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Serious infections leading to hospitalization or death, including tuberculosis and bacterial, invasive fungal, viral, and other opportunistic infections, have occurred in patients receiving JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. Avoid use of CIBINQO in patients with active, serious infection including localized infections. Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to initiating CIBINQO in patients: • with chronic or recurrent infection • who have been exposed to tuberculosis • with a history of a serious or an opportunistic infection • who have resided or traveled in areas of endemic tuberculosis or endemic mycoses • with underlying conditions that may predispose them to infection Closely monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with CIBINQO. If a patient develops a serious or opportunistic infection, discontinue CIBINQO. Initiate complete diagnostic testing and appropriate antimicrobial therapy. The risks and benefits of treatment with CIBINQO should be carefully considered prior to reinitiating therapy with CIBINQO. Tuberculosis Evaluate and test patients for TB before starting CIBINQO therapy and consider yearly screening for patients in highly endemic areas for TB. CIBINQO is not recommended for use in patients with active TB. For patients with a new diagnosis of latent TB or prior untreated latent TB, or for patients with a negative test for latent TB but who are at high risk for TB infection, start preventive therapy for latent TB prior to initiation of CIBINQO. Monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of TB, including patients who were tested negative for latent TB infection prior to initiating therapy. Viral Reactivation Viral reactivation, including herpes virus reactivation (e.g., herpes zoster, herpes simplex), was reported in clinical trials with CIBINQO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . If a patient develops herpes zoster, consider interrupting CIBINQO until the episode resolves. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation has been reported in patients receiving JAK inhibitors. Perform viral hepatitis screening in accordance with clinical guidelines before starting therapy and monitor for reactivation during therapy with CIBINQO. CIBINQO is not recommended for use in patients with active hepatitis B or hepatitis C [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Monitor patients with inactive HBV for expression of HBV DNA during therapy with CIBINQO. If HBV DNA is detected during therapy with CIBINQO, consult a liver specialist. 5.2 Mortality In a large, randomized, postmarketing safety trial of another JAK inhibitor in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor, a higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden cardiovascular death, was observed in subjects treated with the JAK inhibitor compared with TNF blockers. CIBINQO is not approved for use in patients with RA. Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with CIBINQO. 5.3 Malignancy and Lymphoproliferative Disorders Malignancies, including non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), were observed in clinical trials with CIBINQO for atopic dermatitis [see Adverse Reactions …

( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions (≥1% with CIBINQO 200 mg and greater than CIBINQO 100 mg) are nausea, headache, herpes simplex, increased blood creatine kinase, dizziness, urinary tract infection, acne, vomiting, gastroenteritis, upper abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, herpes zoster, and thrombocytopenia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pfizer Inc. at 1-800-438-1985 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials 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. The safety of CIBINQO was evaluated in four randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials (2 monotherapy, 1 combination therapy with topical corticosteroid, and 1 dose-ranging) and one long-term extension trial in subjects with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). A total of 1623 subjects with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis were treated with CIBINQO in these clinical trials representing 1428 patient-years of exposure. There were 634 subjects with at least 1 year of exposure to CIBINQO. In the placebo-controlled clinical trials, a total of 1198 subjects were exposed to CIBINQO with 608 subjects receiving CIBINQO 100 mg once daily and 590 subjects receiving CIBINQO 200 mg once daily for up to 16 weeks. The median age of subjects was 33.0 years, 124 subjects (8.1%) were 12 to less than 18 years old and 94 subjects (6.1%) were 65 years of age or older. The majority of subjects were White (68.7%) and male (53.9%). Adverse reactions occurring at ≥1% in any of the treated groups and at a higher rate than in the placebo group are presented in Table 3. A total of 61 (5.1%) subjects treated with CIBINQO were discontinued from the trials due to adverse reactions. The safety profile of CIBINQO in the monotherapy and the combination trial(s) were similar. Table 3.

Drug Interactions
openFDA Drug Labeling7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong Inhibitors of CYP2C19 : The recommended dosage is 50 mg once daily or 100 mg once daily for those patients who are not responding to 50 mg once daily. ( 2.5 , 7.1 ) • Moderate to Strong Inhibitors of Both CYP2C19 and CYP2C9, or Strong or Moderate CYP2C19 or CYP2C9 Inducers : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) • Certain P-gp Substrates or Certain CYP2C19 Substrates : Monitor or titrate dosage of P-gp substrates or CYP2C19 substrates where small concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on CIBINQO Table 4 includes drugs with clinically significant drug interactions affecting CIBINQO. Table 4. Clinically Significant Drug Interactions Affecting CIBINQO Strong CYP2C19 Inhibitors Clinical Impact Concomitant use of CIBINQO with strong CYP2C19 inhibitors increases the combined exposure of abrocitinib and its two active metabolites, M1 and M2 which may increase the adverse reactions of CIBINQO [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Intervention Dosage reduction of CIBINQO is recommended when concomitantly used with strong CYP2C19 inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ]. Strong or Moderate Inhibitors of both CYP2C19 and CYP2C9 Clinical Impact Concomitant use of CIBINQO with drugs that are strong or moderate inhibitors of both CYP2C19 and CYP2C9 increases the exposure of abrocitinib and its two active metabolites, M1 and M2 which may increase the adverse reactions of CIBINQO [ Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Intervention Avoid concomitant use of CIBINQO with drugs that are moderate to strong inhibitors of both CYP2C19 and CYP2C9 . Strong or Moderate CYP2C19 or CYP2C9 Inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use of CIBINQO with strong or moderate CYP2C19 or CYP2C9 inducers decreases the combined exposure of abrocitinib and its two active metabolites, M1 and M2, which may result in loss of or reduced clinical response [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Intervention Avoid concomitant use of CIBINQO with strong or moderate CYP2C19 or CYP2C9 inducers. 7.2 Effects of CIBINQO on Other Drugs Table 5 includes clinically significant drug interactions in which CIBINQO affects other drugs. Table 5. Clinically Significant Drug Interactions Affecting Other Drugs Certain P-gp Substrates Clinical Impact Concomitant use of CIBINQO with P-gp substrates increases plasma concentrations of P-gp substrates and may result in potential adverse reactions of the P-gp substrate where minimal increases in the concentration of the P-gp substrate may lead to serious adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Intervention Monitor appropriately or modify the dosage of the P-gp substrate where small concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities when concomitantly used with CIBINQO. Refer to the Prescribing Information of the P-gp substrate. Certain CYP2C19 Substrates Clinical Impact CIBINQO is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C19. Concomitant use of CIBINQO with drugs that are primarily metabolized by the CYP2C19 enzyme may increase the plasma concentrations of the CYP2C19 substrate and may result in potential adverse reactions of the CYP2C19 substrate where minimal increases in the concentration of the CYP2C19 substrate may lead to serious adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Intervention Caution should be exercised when CIBINQO is concomitantly used with drugs that are CYP2C19 sensitive substrates where small concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities. Antiplatelet Therapy Drugs Clinical Impact Concomitant use of CIBINQO with antiplatelet therapy drugs may increase the risk of bleeding with thrombocytopenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. Intervention CIBINQO is contraindicated in patients taking antiplatelet drugs, except for low-dose aspirin (≤81 mg daily), during the first 3 months of treatment [see Contraindications (4) ] .
Use in Specific Populations
openFDA Drug Labeling8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Lactation : Breastfeeding not recommended. ( 8.2 ) • Renal Impairment : Avoid use in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease. ( 8.6 ) • Hepatic Impairment : Avoid use in patients with severe hepatic impairment. ( 8.7 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to CIBINQO during pregnancy. Pregnant women exposed to CIBINQO and health care providers are encouraged to call 1-877-311-3770. Risk Summary Available data from pregnancies reported in clinical trials with CIBINQO are not sufficient to establish a drug‐associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of abrocitinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at exposure 11 or 4 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) based on AUC comparison, respectively, resulted in maternal dystocia and skeletal variations in rats and no adverse effects in rabbits ( see Data ). The background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. All pregnancies carry some risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The background risks in the U.S. general population of major birth defects and miscarriages are 2–4% and 15–20% of clinically recognized pregnancies, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryofetal development study, abrocitinib was administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of 10, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. No fetal malformations were observed. Abrocitinib increased the incidence of skeletal variations of short 13 th ribs at 30 mg/kg/day (11 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Increased embryofetal lethality and additional skeletal variations (cervical arches with reduced ventral processes, thickened ribs, and unossified metatarsals) were noted at 60 mg/kg/day (17 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). In an embryofetal development study, abrocitinib was administered orally to pregnant rabbits at doses of 10, 30, or 75 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. No abrocitinib-related maternal or developmental toxicity was noted at doses up to 75 mg/kg/day (4 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). In a prenatal and postnatal development study, abrocitinib was administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of 10, 30, and 60 mg/kg/day beginning on gestation day 6 and continuing through lactation day 20. Dystocia with prolonged parturition and reduced offspring body weights were noted at 30 mg/kg/day (11 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Postnatal survival was markedly decreased at 60 mg/kg/day (17 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). No maternal toxicity was observed at 10 mg/kg/day (2.4 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). No abrocitinib-related effects on postnatal developmental, neurobehavioral, or reproductive performance of offspring was noted at doses up to 30 mg/kg/day (11 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of abrocitinib in human milk, the effects on the breast-fed infant, or the effects on milk production. Abrocitinib was secreted in milk of lactating rats ( see Data ) . When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. Because of the serious adverse findings in adults, including risks of serious infections, malignancy, and thrombosis, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with CIBINQO and for one day after the last dose (approximately 5–6 elimination half-lives). Data Animal Data Lactating female rats were orally administered a single dose of 10 mg/kg abrocitinib on lactation day 12. Abrocitinib AUC was approximately 5 times greater in milk than in plasma. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Infertility Females Based on the findings in rats, oral administration of CIBINQO ma …
Mechanism of Action
openFDA Drug Labeling12.1 Mechanism of Action CIBINQO is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. Abrocitinib reversibly inhibits JAK1 by blocking the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding site. In a cell-free isolated enzyme assay, abrocitinib was selective for JAK1 over JAK2 (28-fold), JAK3 (>340-fold), and tyrosine kinase (TYK) 2 (43-fold), as well as the broader kinome. The relevance of inhibition of specific JAK enzymes to therapeutic effectiveness is not currently known. Both the parent compound and the active metabolites inhibit JAK1 activity in vitro with similar levels of selectivity.
