Dosage

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Select patients for the treatment of HR-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with ITOVEBI based on the presence of one or more PIK3CA mutations in plasma specimen. ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage: 9 mg orally once daily with or without food. ( 2.3 ) See Full Prescribing Information for dosage modifications of ITOVEBI due to adverse reactions. ( 2.4 ) Reduce the starting dose in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment. ( 2.5 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for the treatment of HR-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with ITOVEBI based on the presence of one or more PIK3CA mutations in plasma specimens [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of PIK3CA mutations in breast cancer is available at: http://www.fda.gov/companiondiagnostics. 2.2 Recommended Evaluation Before Initiating ITOVEBI Evaluate fasting plasma glucose (FPG)/blood glucose (FBG) and hemoglobin A 1C (HbA 1C ) and optimize blood glucose prior to starting ITOVEBI and at regular intervals during treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. 2.3 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of ITOVEBI is 9 mg taken orally once daily, with or without food, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Advise patients to take ITOVEBI at approximately the same time each day. Swallow ITOVEBI tablet(s) whole. Do not chew, crush, or split prior to swallowing. If a patient misses a dose, instruct the patient to take the missed dose as soon as possible within 9 hours. After more than 9 hours, instruct the patient to skip the dose and take the next dose at the scheduled time. If a patient vomits a dose, instruct patients not to take an additional dose on that day and resume the usual dosing schedule the next day. Administer ITOVEBI in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant. The recommended dosage of palbociclib is 125 mg taken orally once daily for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off treatment to comprise a cycle of 28 days. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for palbociclib and fulvestrant for dosing information. For premenopausal and perimenopausal women, administer a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist in accordance with local clinical practice. For men, consider administering an LHRH agonist in accordance with local clinical practice. 2.4 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended dose reduction levels of ITOVEBI for adverse reactions are listed in Table 1 . Permanently discontinue ITOVEBI if patients are unable to tolerate the second dose reduction. Table 1: Dose Reduction for Adverse Reactions Dose Level Dose and Schedule Recommended starting dose 9 mg daily First dose reduction 6 mg daily Second dose reduction 3 mg daily The recommended dosage modifications of ITOVEBI for adverse reactions are summarized in Table 2 . Table 2: Recommended Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Adverse Reaction Severity Dosage Modification Hyperglycemia Before initiating treatment with ITOVEBI, test FPG or FBG, and HbA 1C levels, and optimize plasma/blood glucose levels in all patients. After initiating treatment with ITOVEBI, monitor FPG or FBG levels based on the recommended schedule, and as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Fasting glucose levels (FPG or FBG) > ULN to 160 mg/dL (> ULN – 8.9 mmol/L) No adjustment of ITOVEBI required.

Warnings

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hyperglycemia : ITOVEBI can cause severe or fatal hyperglycemia including ketoacidosis. Before initiating treatment with ITOVEBI, test fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, and optimize blood glucose. Initiate or optimize anti-hyperglycemic medications as clinically indicated. Interrupt, reduce dose, or discontinue ITOVEBI if severe hyperglycemia occurs. ( 2.4 , 5.1 ) Stomatitis : ITOVEBI can cause severe stomatitis. Consider treating with a corticosteroid-containing mouthwash if stomatitis occurs. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of stomatitis. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue ITOVEBI based on severity. ( 2.4 , 5.2 ) Diarrhea : ITOVEBI can cause diarrhea, which may be severe, and result in dehydration and acute kidney injury. Advise patients to start anti-diarrheal treatment, increase oral fluids, and notify their healthcare provider if severe diarrhea occurs. Interrupt, reduce dose, or discontinue ITOVEBI if severe diarrhea occurs. ( 2.4 , 5.3 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : ITOVEBI can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective non-hormonal contraception. ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of palbociclib and fulvestrant for pregnancy and contraception information. 5.1 Hyperglycemia Severe or fatal hyperglycemia, including ketoacidosis, can occur in patients treated with ITOVEBI. Ketoacidosis with a fatal outcome has occurred in the postmarketing setting. Increased fasting glucose occurred in 85% of patients treated with ITOVEBI, including 22% of patients with Grade 2 (FPG > 160 to 250 mg/dL), 12% with Grade 3 (FPG > 250 to 500 mg/dL), and 0.6% with Grade 4 (FPG > 500 mg/dL) events. In INAVO120, 46% (74/162) of patients who received ITOVEBI were treated with oral anti-hyperglycemic medications and 7% (11/162) were treated with insulin to manage increased fasting glucose. In patients who experienced increased fasting glucose of > 160 mg/dL, 96% (52/54) had an improvement in fasting glucose of at least one grade level with a median time to improvement of 8 days (range: 2 to 43 days). Among patients with hyperglycemia, the median time to first onset was 7 days (range: 2 to 955 days). Hyperglycemia led to dose interruption in 28%, to dose reduction in 2.5%, and to discontinuation of ITOVEBI in 1.2% of patients. The safety of ITOVEBI in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, or Type 2 diabetes mellitus requiring ongoing anti-hyperglycemic treatment have not been studied. Before initiating treatment with ITOVEBI, test fasting glucose levels (FPG or FBG), HbA 1C levels, and optimize fasting glucose. After initiating treatment with ITOVEBI, or in patients who experience hyperglycemia after initiating treatment with ITOVEBI, monitor or self-monitor fasting glucose levels once every 3 days for the first week (Day 1 to 7), then once every week for the next 3 weeks (Day 8 to 28), then once every 2 weeks for the next 8 weeks, then once every 4 weeks thereafter, and as clinically indicated. Monitor HbA 1C every 3 months and as clinically indicated. Manage hyperglycemia with anti-hyperglycemic medications as clinically indicated. During treatment with anti-hyperglycemic medication, continue monitoring fasting glucose levels. Patients with a history of well-controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus may require intensified anti-hyperglycemic treatment and close monitoring of fasting glucose levels. Consider consultation with a healthcare professional experienced in the treatment of hyperglycemia, and initiation of fasting glucose monitoring at home for patients who have risk factors for hyperglycemia or who experience hyperglycemia. Advise patients of the signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia and counsel patients on lifestyle changes. Based on the severity of the hyperglycemia, ITOVEBI may require dose interruption, reduction, or discontinuation [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . 5.2 Stomatitis Severe stomatitis can occur in patients treated with ITOVEBI. Stomatitis occurred in 51% of patients treated with ITOVEBI in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant, including Grade 3 events in 6% of patients. The median time to first onset was 13 days (range: 1 to 610 days). Stomatitis led to dose interruption in 10%, to dose reduction in 3.7%, and to discontinuation of ITOVEBI in 0.6% of patients. In patients who received ITOVEBI in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant, 38% used a mouthwash containing corticosteroid for management or prophylaxis of stomatitis. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of stomatitis. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue ITOVEBI based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . 5.3 Diarrhea Severe diarrhea, including dehydration and acute kidney injury, can occur in patients treated with ITOVEBI. Diarrhea occurred in 48% of patients treated with ITOVEBI in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant, including Grade 3 events in 3.7% of patients. The median time to first onset was 15 days (range: 2 to 602 days). Diarrhea led to dose interruptions in 7% of patients, and dose reductions in 1.2% of patients. Anti-diarrheal medicines were used in 28% (46/162) of patients who received ITOVEBI in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant to manage symptoms. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of diarrhea. Advise patients to increase oral fluids and start anti-diarrheal treatment at the first sign of diarrhea while taking ITOVEBI. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue ITOVEBI based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, ITOVEBI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . In an animal reproduction study, oral administration of inavolisib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality, structural abnormalities, and alterations to growth at maternal exposures approximately equivalent to the human exposure at the recommended dose of 9 mg/day based on area under the curve (AUC). Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ITOVEBI and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 and 8.3) ] . ITOVEBI is used in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of palbociclib and fulvestrant for pregnancy and contraception information.

Mechanism of action

Mechanism of Action Inavolisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) with inhibitory activity predominantly against PI3Kα. In vitro, inavolisib induced the degradation of mutated PI3K catalytic alpha subunit p110α (encoded by the PIK3CA gene), inhibited phosphorylation of the downstream target AKT, reduced cellular proliferation, and induced apoptosis in PIK3CA -mutated breast cancer cell lines. In vivo, inavolisib reduced tumor growth in PIK3CA -mutated, estrogen receptor-positive, breast cancer xenograft models. The combination of inavolisib with palbociclib and fulvestrant increased tumor growth inhibition compared to each treatment alone or the doublet combinations.
