NINLARO should be taken once a week on the same day and at approximately the same time for the first three weeks of a four week cycle. The importance of carefully following all dosage instructions should be discussed with patients starting treatment. Instruct patients to take the recommended dosage as directed, because overdosage has led to deaths [see Overdosage (10) ] . NINLARO should be taken at least one hour before or at least two hours after food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . The whole capsule should be swallowed with water. The capsule should not be crushed, chewed or opened [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16) ] . If a NINLARO dose is delayed or missed, the dose should be taken only if the next scheduled dose is ≥72 hours away. A missed dose should not be taken within 72 hours of the next scheduled dose. A double dose should not be taken to make up for the missed dose. If vomiting occurs after taking a dose, the patient should not repeat the dose. The patient should resume dosing at the time of the next scheduled dose. Prior to initiating a new cycle of therapy: Absolute neutrophil count should be at least 1,000/mm 3 Platelet count should be at least 75,000/mm 3 Non-hematologic toxicities should, at the healthcare provider's discretion, generally be recovered to patient's baseline condition or Grade 1 or lower Treatment should be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Concomitant Medications Consider antiviral prophylaxis in patients being treated with NINLARO to decrease the risk of herpes zoster reactivation [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 2.2 Dosage Modification Guidelines The NINLARO dose reduction steps are presented in Table 2 and the dosage modification guidelines are provided in Table 3. Table 2: NINLARO Dose Reductions due to Adverse Reactions Recommended starting dose Recommended starting dose of 3 mg in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment, severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis [see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.4) ] . First reduction to Second reduction to Discontinue 4 mg 3 mg 2.3 mg An alternating dose modification approach is recommended for NINLARO and lenalidomide for thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and rash as described in Table 3.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are described in detail in other sections of the prescribing information: Thrombocytopenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Gastrointestinal Toxicities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Peripheral Neuropathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Peripheral Edema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Cutaneous Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Thrombotic Microangiopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) are thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, diarrhea, constipation, peripheral neuropathy, nausea, peripheral edema, rash, vomiting, and bronchitis. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Takeda Pharmaceuticals at 1-844-617-6468 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 population from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study included 720 patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma, who received NINLARO in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (NINLARO regimen; N=361) or placebo in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (placebo regimen; N=359). The most frequently reported adverse reactions (≥20% with a difference of ≥5% compared to placebo) in the NINLARO regimen were thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, diarrhea, constipation, peripheral neuropathy, nausea, peripheral edema, rash, vomiting, and bronchitis. Serious adverse reactions reported in ≥2% of patients in the NINLARO regimen included diarrhea (3%), thrombocytopenia (2%) and bronchitis (2%). One or more of the three drugs was permanently discontinued in 4% of patients reporting peripheral neuropathy, 3% of patients reporting diarrhea and 2% of patients reporting thrombocytopenia. Permanent discontinuation of NINLARO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 10% of patients. Table 4 summarizes the non-hematologic adverse reactions occurring in at least 5% of patients with at least a 5% difference between the NINLARO regimen and the placebo regimen.

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Hepatic Impairment : Reduce the NINLARO starting dose to 3 mg in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. ( 2.3 , 8.6 ) Renal Impairment : Reduce the NINLARO starting dose to 3 mg in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis. ( 2.4 , 8.7 ) Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] and data from animal reproduction studies, NINLARO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on NINLARO use in pregnant women to evaluate drug-associated risk. Ixazomib caused embryo-fetal toxicity in pregnant rats and rabbits at doses resulting in exposures that were slightly higher than those observed in patients receiving the recommended dose (see Data ) . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits there were increases in fetal skeletal variations/abnormalities (fused caudal vertebrae, number of lumbar vertebrae, and full supernumerary ribs) at doses that were also maternally toxic (≥0.3 mg/kg). Exposures in the rabbit at 0.3 mg/kg were 1.9 times the clinical time averaged exposures at the recommended dose of 4 mg. In a rat dose range-finding embryo-fetal development study, at doses that were maternally toxic, there were decreases in fetal weights, a trend towards decreased fetal viability, and increased post-implantation losses at 0.6 mg/kg. Exposures in rats at the dose of 0.6 mg/kg was 2.5 times the clinical time averaged exposures at the recommended dose of 4 mg. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of ixazomib or its metabolites in human milk, the effects of the drug on the breast fed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from NINLARO in a breastfed infant, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with NINLARO and for 90 days after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential NINLARO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating NINLARO. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with NINLARO and for 90 days after the last dose. Dexamethasone is known to be a weak to moderate inducer of CYP3A4 as well as other enzymes and transporters. Because NINLARO is administered with dexamethasone, the risk for reduced efficacy of contraceptives needs to be considered [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . Males Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with NINLARO and for 90 days after the last dose. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of NINLARO have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the total number of subjects in clinical studies of NINLARO, 55% were 65 and over, while 17% were 75 and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment In patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment, the mean AUC increased by 20% when compared to patients with normal hepatic function. Reduce the starting dose of NINLARO in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 8.7 Rena …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action Ixazomib is a reversible proteasome inhibitor. Ixazomib preferentially binds and inhibits the chymotrypsin-like activity of the beta 5 subunit of the 20S proteasome. Ixazomib induced apoptosis of multiple myeloma cell lines in vitro. Ixazomib demonstrated in vitro cytotoxicity against myeloma cells from patients who had relapsed after multiple prior therapies, including bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone. The combination of ixazomib and lenalidomide demonstrated synergistic cytotoxic effects in multiple myeloma cell lines. In vivo, ixazomib demonstrated antitumor activity in a mouse multiple myeloma tumor xenograft model.

Attributed to this product's most-reported active ingredient: IXAZOMIB CITRATE. Combination products with more than six active ingredients are not attributed, because a report count summed across a long ingredient list measures the list, not the medicine.
