Important Safety Information
Warnings and Precautions
Seizure In Study 1, conducted in patients with metastatic castration-resistant
prostate cancer (CRPC) who previously received docetaxel, seizure occurred in 0.9%
of XTANDI patients and 0% of placebo patients. In Study 2, conducted in patients
with chemotherapy-naive metastatic CRPC, seizure occurred in 0.1% of XTANDI
patients and 0.1% of placebo patients. There is no clinical trial experience readministering
XTANDI to patients who experienced a seizure, and limited safety
data are available in patients with predisposing factors for seizure. Study 1 excluded
the use of concomitant medications that may lower threshold; Study 2 permitted the
use of these medications. Because of the risk of seizure associated with XTANDI use,
patients should be advised of the risk of engaging in any activity during which
sudden loss of consciousness could cause serious harm to themselves or others.
Permanently discontinue XTANDI in patients who develop a seizure during
treatment.
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) In post approval use,
there have been reports of PRES in patients receiving XTANDI. PRES is a neurological
disorder which can present with rapidly evolving symptoms including seizure,
headache, lethargy, confusion, blindness, and other visual and neurological
disturbances, with or without associated hypertension. A diagnosis of PRES requires confirmation by
brain imaging, preferably MRI. Discontinue XTANDI in patients who develop PRES.
Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) reported from two combined clinical
studies that occurred more commonly (≥ 2% over placebo) in XTANDI patients were
asthenia/fatigue, back pain, decreased appetite, constipation, arthralgia, diarrhea,
hot flush, upper respiratory tract infection, peripheral edema, dyspnea,
musculoskeletal pain, weight decreased, headache, hypertension, and
dizziness/vertigo.
In Study 1, Grade 3 and higher adverse reactions were reported among 47% of
XTANDI patients and 53% of placebo patients. Discontinuations due to adverse
events were reported for 16% of XTANDI patients and 18% of placebo patients. In
Study 2, Grade 3-4 adverse reactions were reported in 44% of XTANDI patients and
37% of placebo patients. Discontinuations due to adverse events were reported for
6% of both study groups.
| • | Lab Abnormalities: Grade 1-4 neutropenia occurred in 15% of XTANDI patients (1% Grade 3-4) and 6% of placebo patients (0.5% Grade 3-4). Grade 1-4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 6% of XTANDI patients (0.3% Grade 3-4) and 5% of placebo patients (0.5% Grade 3-4). Grade 1-4 elevations in ALT occurred in 10% of XTANDI patients (0.2% Grade 3-4) and 16% of placebo patients (0.2% Grade 3-4). Grade 1-4 elevations in bilirubin occurred in 3% of XTANDI patients (0.1% Grade 3-4) and 2% of placebo patients (no Grade 3-4). |
| • | Infections: In Study 1, 1% of XTANDI patients compared to 0.3% of placebo patients died from infections or sepsis. In Study 2, 1 patient in each treatment group (0.1%) had an infection resulting in death. |
| • | Falls (including fall-related injuries), occurred in 9% of XTANDI patients and 4% of placebo patients. Falls were not associated with loss of consciousness or seizure. Fall-related injuries were more severe in XTANDI patients, and included non-pathologic fractures, joint injuries, and hematomas. |
| • | Hypertension occurred in 11% of XTANDI patients and 4% of placebo patients. No patients experienced hypertensive crisis. Medical history of hypertension was balanced between arms. Hypertension led to study discontinuation in < 1% of all patients. |
Drug Interactions
Effect of Other Drugs on XTANDI Avoid strong CYP2C8 inhibitors, as they can
increase the plasma exposure to XTANDI. If co-administration is necessary,
reduce the dose of XTANDI.
Avoid strong CYP3A4 inducers as they can decrease the plasma exposure to XTANDI. If co-administration is necessary, increase the dose of XTANDI.
Effect of XTANDI on Other Drugs Avoid CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19
substrates with a narrow therapeutic index, as XTANDI may decrease the plasma
exposures of these drugs. If XTANDI is co-administered with warfarin (CYP2C9
substrate), conduct additional INR monitoring.
