7 Drug Interactions

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on REZUROCK

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Proton Pump Inhibitors

Belumosudil exhibits pH-dependent solubility. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with proton pump inhibitors decreases belumosudil exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce the efficacy of REZUROCK. Increase the dosage of REZUROCK when used concomitantly with proton pump inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

Strong CYP3A Inducers

Belumosudil is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with strong CYP3A inducers decreases belumosudil exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce the efficacy of REZUROCK. Increase the dosage of REZUROCK when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inducers [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

7.2 Effect of REZUROCK on Other Drugs

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

BCRP and OATP1B1 Substrates

Avoid concomitant use with drugs that are BCRP substrates where possible. If used together, monitor patients more frequently for adverse reactions and decrease the BCRP substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information.

Belumosudil is a BCRP inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with BCRP substrates increases their plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

Belumosudil is an OATP1B1 inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with OATP1B1 substrates may increase their plasma concentrations. Monitor patients more frequently for adverse reactions of these substrates and decrease the OATP1B1 substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Certain CYP1A2 Substrates

Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are sensitive CYP1A2 substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the CYP1A2 substrate dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information.

Belumosudil is a CYP1A2 inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with sensitive CYP1A2 substrates (e.g., caffeine) is predicted to increase CYP1A2 substrate exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

Certain CYP3A Substrates

Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are sensitive CYP3A substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the CYP3A substrate dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information.

Belumosudil is a CYP3A inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with sensitive CYP3A substrates (e.g., midazolam) is predicted to increase CYP3A substrate exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

Certain UGT1A1 Substrates

Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are UGT1A1 substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the UGT1A1 substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information.

Belumosudil is a UGT1A1 inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with a UGT1A1 substrate decreased plasma concentrations of the glucuronide metabolite of the UGT1A1 substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Concomitant use of belumosudil with other UGT1A1 substrates may increase their plasma concentrations, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

Certain P-gp Substrates

Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are P-gp substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the P-gp substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information.

Belumosudil is a P-gp inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with P-gp substrates increased their plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Risk Summary

In animal reproduction studies, administration of belumosudil to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes, including alterations to growth, embryo-fetal mortality, and embryo-fetal malformations at maternal exposures (AUC) approximately Greater than or equal to1.4 (rat) and greater than or equal to 0.08 (rabbit) times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose (see Data). Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus.

Data

Animal data

The exposure (AUC) at 50 mg/kg/day in rats is approximately 1.4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 200 mg.

Malformations included those in the tail (short), ribs (branched, fused or deformed), sternebrae (fused), and neural arches (fused, misaligned, and deformed). The exposure (AUC) at 50 mg/kg/day in rabbits is approximately 0.08 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 200 mg.

7 Drug Interactions

7.2 Effect of REZUROCK on Other Drugs

Newly added subsection:

Certain UTG1A1 substrates

Avoid coadministration of REZUROCK with UGT1A1 substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If coadministration cannot be avoided, decrease the UGT1A1 substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information.

REZUROCK is an inhibitor of UGT1A1. Coadministration of REZUROCK with a UGT1A1 substrate decreased plasma concentrations of the glucuronide metabolite [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to sensitive substrates of UGT1A1.

Certain P-gp, OATP1B1, and BCRP substrates

Avoid coadministration of REZUROCK with P-gp, OATP1B1, and BCRP substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If coadministration cannot be avoided, decrease the P-gp, OATP1B1, and BCRP substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information.

REZUROCK is an inhibitor of P-gp, OATP1B1, and BCRP. Coadministration of REZUROCK with P-gp, OATP1B1, and BCRP substrates increased their plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

8.6 Renal Impairment

(Newly added subsection)

Treatment with REZUROCK has not been studied in patients with pre-existing severe renal impairment. For patients with pre-existing severe renal impairment, consider the risks and potential benefits before initiating treatment with REZUROCK [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

8.7 Hepatic Impairment

(Newly added subsection)

Avoid use in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) without liver GVHD [see Dosage and Administration (2.4), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

No dosage adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A) [see Dosage and Administration (2.4), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
