Overview

Olutasidenib, an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) inhibitor, is an antineoplastic agent.

Olutasidenib is a small-molecule inhibitor of mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1). In patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), susceptibleIDH1 mutations are defined as those leading to increased levels of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) in the leukemia cells and where efficacy is predicted by clinically meaningful remissions and/or inhibition of mutant IDH1 enzymatic activity at concentrations of olutasidenib sustainable at the recommended dosage. The most common susceptible IDH1mutations in patients with AML are R132H and R132C substitutions.

In vitro, olutasidenib inhibited mutated IDH1 R132H, R132L, R132S, R132G, and R132C proteins; wild-type IDH1 or mutated IDH2 proteins were not inhibited. Olutasidenib inhibition of mutant IDH1 led to decreased 2-HG levels in vitro and in in vivo xenograft models. In patients with AML andIDH1 mutations following the approved recommended olutasidenib dosage, the mean reduction in 2-HG plasma concentration was 59.1% by pre-dose cycle 2; this was sustained throughout the treatment period.

Increased olutasidenib exposure was correlated with an increased probability of differentiation syndrome and grade3 or greater hepatotoxicity in patients with AML following the approved recommended olutasidenib dosage.

Olutasidenib steady-state plasma levels are reached within 14 days. The median time to maximum concentration of olutasidenib is approximately 4 hours following a single oral dose of 150 mg. The mean maximum concentration and AUC of olutasidenib increased by 191 and 83%, respectively following administration of a single 150 mg dose of olutasidenib with a high-fat meal in healthy subjects.

The plasma protein binding of olutasidenib is approximately 93%. The mean half-life is approximately 67 hours. Metabolism involves N-dealkylation, demethylation, oxidative deamination followed by oxidation, and mono-oxidation with subsequent glucuronidation.

Olutasidenib is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 3A4, with minor contributions from CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP1A2, and CYP2C19. In healthy subjects, approximately 75% of a single oral radiolabeled olutasidenib dose was recovered in feces (35% unchanged), and 17% was recovered in the urine (1% unchanged). No clinically significant differences in olutasidenib pharmacokinetics were observed based on age (28-90 years), sex, or body weight (36-145 kg).

USES: This medication is used to treat a certain type of blood cell cancer (acute myeloid leukemia-AML). Olutasidenib works by stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells.

Indications

The following indications are listed for Rezlidhia:

  • Acute Myeloid Leukemia With Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-1 (Idh1) Mutation

Also known as: Idh1 Mutation-Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Dosing

If toxicity occurs, olutasidenib may require dosage reduction, temporary withholding of the dose, or discontinuation. See Table 1 for recommended actions based on adverse reaction type and severity.

Table 1. Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions to Olutasidenib.

Adverse Reaction Recommended Action Differentiation syndrome If differentiation syndrome is suspected, withhold olutasidenibuntil signs and symptoms improve. Administer systemic corticosteroids and initiate hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution and for a minimum of 3 days. Resume at 150 mg twice daily aft er resolution. If a recurrence is suspected, withhold olutasidenib and institute treatment per above guidance. After symptom resolution, resume at a reduced dosage of 150 mg once daily for a minimum of 7 days, after which it can be increased to 150 mg twi ce daily. Noninfectious leukocytosis Initate treatment with hydroxyurea as per standard practices. Taper hydroxyurea only after leukocytosis improves or resolves. Grade 3 hepatotoxicity Withhold olutasideniband monitor liver function tests twice per week until laboratory values have returned to baseline or grade 1 toxicity. Resume at a reduced dosage of 150 mg once daily and continue monitoring; may increase to 150 mg twice daily if hepa totoxicity resolves to baseline for at least 28 days.If hepatotoxicity (grade 3) recurs at 150 mg once daily, discontinue olutasidenib. Grade 4 hepatotoxicity or AST or ALT Permanently discontinue >3x ULN and total bilirubin >2x ULN olutasidenib. and alkaline phosphatase <2x ULN in the absence of a clear alternative explanation Other grade 3 or higher toxicity Interrupt olutasidenib until considered related to treatment toxicity resolves to grade 2 or lower. Resume at 150 mg once daily; may increase to 150 mg twice daily if toxicities resolved to grade 1 or lower for at least 1 week. If grade 3 or higher toxicity recurs at 150 mg once daily, discontinueolutasidenib.

Drug interactions

Olutasidenib is a cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 3A4 substrate. In vitro studies demonstrate that olutasidenib inducesCYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP1A2, CYP2C8, and CYP2C9. Olutasidenib does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5.

Olutasidenib is not a substrate of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), bile salt export pump (BSEP), multidrug resistance protein (MRP) 2, MRP3, or MRP4. Olutasidenib is an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), BCRP, organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1, OATP1B3, organic anion transporter (OAT) 3, organic cation transporter (OCT) 2, multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) 1, and MATE2K. Olutasidenib does not inhibit BSEP, MRP2, MRP3, MRP4, or OAT1.

Contraindications

*None.

Adverse reactions
