Warnings and Cautions
openFDA Drug Labeling5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions: Have been reported in patients treated with TRYNGOLZA. Advise patients on the signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and instruct patients to promptly seek medical attention and discontinue use of TRYNGOLZA if hypersensitivity reactions occur. ( 5.1 ) Liver Enzyme Abnormalities: Increases in liver enzymes and hepatic fat have occurred in adults. Consider liver enzyme testing before TRYNGOLZA initiation or an increase in dosage and when clinically indicated thereafter. If persistent elevations in liver enzymes occur, consider dose interruption and/or dose reduction. If serious hepatic injury with clinical symptoms and/or hyperbilirubinemia or jaundice occurs, promptly discontinue TRYNGOLZA. ( 5.2 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions (including symptoms of bronchospasm, diffuse erythema, facial swelling, urticaria, chills, and myalgias) have been reported in patients treated with TRYNGOLZA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Advise patients on the signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and instruct patients to promptly seek medical attention and discontinue use of TRYNGOLZA if hypersensitivity reactions occur. TRYNGOLZA is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity to olezarsen or any of the excipients in TRYNGOLZA. 5.2 Liver Enzyme Abnormalities TRYNGOLZA can cause increases in liver enzymes and hepatic fat in adults [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Increases in liver enzymes were more frequently reported with the 80 mg dose as compared to the 50 mg dose. In patients with sHTG, increases in liver enzymes greater than or equal to three times the upper limit of normal were reported more frequently with TRYNGOLZA 80 mg (7%) compared to TRYNGOLZA 50 mg (3%) and placebo (3%). Consider liver enzyme testing before TRYNGOLZA initiation or an increase in dosage and when clinically indicated thereafter. If persistent elevations in liver enzymes occur (such as three times the upper limit of normal or greater), consider dose interruption and/or dose reduction. If serious hepatic injury with clinical symptoms and/or hyperbilirubinemia or jaundice occurs, promptly discontinue TRYNGOLZA.
Adverse Reactions
openFDA Drug Labeling6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Liver Enzyme Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions in patients with FCS (incidence >5% of TRYNGOLZA-treated patients and >3% higher frequency than placebo) were injection site reactions, decreased platelet count, and arthralgia. ( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions in patients with sHTG (incidence ≥2% higher than placebo) were injection site reactions and liver enzyme increases. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at toll free number 1-833-644-6647 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 TRYNGOLZA cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Clinical Trial in Patients with FCS The safety of TRYNGOLZA was evaluated in 66 patients with FCS enrolled in Trial 1 (NCT #04568434) [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . In this trial, 43 patients received at least one dose of TRYNGOLZA, 50 mg (N=21) or 80 mg (N=22) and 23 patients received placebo. TRYNGOLZA 50 mg is not an approved dosing regimen for FCS [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ]. Across treatment groups, the mean age was 45 years and 42% of patients were male. Eighty-five percent (85%) of patients were White, 9% were Asian and 6% were reported as other races; 11% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Forty-three (43) patients were exposed to TRYNGOLZA for a median of 52 weeks; 22 patients were treated with TRYNGOLZA 80 mg every 4 weeks for a median of 52 weeks. Adverse reactions led to discontinuation of treatment in 7% of TRYNGOLZA-treated patients and 0% of placebo-treated patients. The most common reason for TRYNGOLZA treatment discontinuation was hypersensitivity reactions. Adverse reactions (>5% of patients treated with TRYNGOLZA and at >3% higher frequency than placebo) are presented in Table 1. Table 1. Adverse Reactions That Occurred in >5% of Patients with FCS Treated with TRYNGOLZA and at >3% Higher Frequency than with Placebo (Trial 1) Adverse Reaction Grouped terms composed of several similar terms Total TRYNGOLZA (N=43) Placebo (N=23) Injection site reactions 8 (19%) 2 (9%) Decreased platelet count 5 (12%) 1 (4%) Arthralgia 4 (9%) 0 Clinical Trials in Patients with sHTG The safety of TRYNGOLZA was evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials [Trial 2 (NCT #05079919) and Trial 3 (NCT #05552326)] that included a total of 1,061 adult patients with sHTG [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . In these trials, 705 patients received at least one dose of TRYNGOLZA, 50 mg (N=354) or 80 mg (N=351), and 356 patients received placebo. Across treatment groups, the mean age was 54 years and 76% of patients were male. Eighty-eight percent (88%) of patients were White, 5% Asian, 2% Black or African American, 2% American Indian or Alaskan Native, less than 1% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and 2% other or multiple races; 12% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. The median exposure to TRYNGOLZA was 364 days (N=705). Adverse reactions led to discontinuation of treatment in 5% of TRYNGOLZA-treated patients and 2% of placebo-treated patients. The most common adverse reaction for TRYNGOLZA treatment discontinuation was injection site reactions. Adverse reactions (in patients treated with TRYNGOLZA at ≥2% higher frequency than placebo) are presented in Table 2. Table 2.

Use in Specific Populations
openFDA Drug Labeling8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on TRYNGOLZA use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Patients with FCS or sHTG are at risk for pancreatitis during pregnancy because of increased TG levels (see Clinical Considerations ) . In animal reproduction studies conducted with the unconjugated antisense oligonucleotide (lacking N -acetylgalactosamine [GalNAc]) in rabbits and mice, no adverse effects on development or pregnancy were observed at doses 21 times or 20 times, respectively, the maximum recommended clinical dose. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. 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. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk Triglyceride levels increase during the third trimester of pregnancy. In patients with underlying defects in triglyceride metabolism, severe gestational hypertriglyceridemia may occur, increasing the risk of acute pancreatitis during pregnancy. Data Animal Data Olezarsen was not evaluated for potential effects on embryofetal development (EFD). However, effects of the administration of the unconjugated antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), which shares the same nucleotide sequence but lacks the (GalNAc) moiety [see Description (11) ] , were evaluated. In a combined fertility and embryo-fetal development study in mice, the unconjugated ASO was administered to male and female mice by subcutaneous injection at doses of 10.5, 35, and 87.5 mg/kg/week prior to mating and through to the completion of organogenesis (gestation day 15). No adverse developmental outcomes occurred at doses up to 87.5 mg/kg/week (approximately 21-times the monthly maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) based on a body surface area (BSA) comparison of the unconjugated ASO). In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits, the unconjugated ASO was administered by subcutaneous injection at doses of 10.5, 21, and 52.5 mg/kg/week during the period of organogenesis (gestation days 6 to 18). No adverse developmental effects were observed at doses up to 21 mg/kg/week (approximately 20-times the monthly MRHD based on a BSA comparison of the unconjugated ASO). In a pre-/postnatal toxicity study in mice, the unconjugated ASO was administered at 10.5, 35, or 87.5 mg/kg/week during the period of organogenesis and continuing until weaning (gestation day 6 through lactation day 21). Offspring body weights at 87.5 mg/kg/week (21-times the monthly MRHD based on BSA) were lower throughout their lives and were associated with slight delays in the attainment of morphological and developmental landmarks. No adverse effects on offspring were observed at 35 mg/kg/week (approximately 9-times the monthly MRHD based on a BSA comparison of the unconjugated ASO). 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of olezarsen in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. However, the unconjugated antisense ASO, which shares the same nucleotide sequence but lacks GalNAc, was present in the milk of lactating mice at low levels. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. Oligonucleotide-based products typically have poor oral bioavailability; therefore, it is considered unlikely that low levels present in milk will lead to clinically relevant levels in breastfed infants. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TRYNGOLZA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from TRYNGOLZA or from the underl …
Mechanism of Action
openFDA Drug Labeling12.1 Mechanism of Action Olezarsen is an ASO-GalNAc 3 conjugate that binds to apoC-III mRNA leading to mRNA degradation and resulting in a reduction of serum apoC-III protein. Reduction of apoC-III protein leads to increased clearance of plasma TG and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).
Description
