5 Warnings and Precautions

5.1 Infections

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Fatal and serious infections (including bacterial, viral, or fungal infections) and opportunistic infections have occurred in patients treated with JAYPIRCA. Across all clinical trials, Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 23% of 1153 patients, most commonly pneumonia (13%), with fatal infections occurring in 4.3% of patients. Sepsis occurred in 4.8% of patients and febrile neutropenia in 3.3%. In patients with CLL/SLL, Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 24% of patients, with fatal infections occurring in 5%. Opportunistic infections after treatment with JAYPIRCA have included, but are not limited to, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and fungal infection [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

…

5.2 Hemorrhage

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Fatal and serious hemorrhage has occurred with JAYPIRCA. Major hemorrhage (defined as Grade 3 or higher bleeding or any central nervous system bleeding) occurred in 3.1% of 1153 patients treated with JAYPIRCA across all clinical trials, including gastrointestinal hemorrhage; fatal hemorrhage occurred in 0.3% of patients. Bleeding of any grade, excluding bruising and petechiae, occurred in 18% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Major hemorrhage occurred in 1.8% of patients taking JAYPIRCA without antithrombotic agents and 1.3% of patients taking JAYPIRCA with antithrombotic agents.

…

5.3 Cytopenias

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

JAYPIRCA can cause cytopenias, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia.

Across all clinical trials, Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias, including decreased neutrophils (26%), decreased platelets (9%), and decreased hemoglobin (9%) developed in patients treated with JAYPIRCA. Grade 4 decreased neutrophils developed in 14% of patients and Grade 4 decreased platelets developed in 4.3% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

…

5.4 Second Primary Malignancies

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Second primary malignancies, including non-skin carcinomas, developed in 10% of 1153 patients treated with JAYPIRCA monotherapy across all clinical trials. The most frequent malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancer, reported in 4.9% of 1153 patients. Other second primary malignancies included solid tumors (including genitourinary and breast cancers) and melanoma. Advise patients to use sun protection and monitor patients for the development of second primary malignancies.

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.5 Geriatric Use

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Of the patients with MCL who received the 200 mg dose of JAYPIRCA in BRUIN, 93 (78%) were 65 years of age and older and 39 (33%) were 75 years and older [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Clinical studies of JAYPIRCA did not include sufficient numbers of patients with MCL who were less than 65 years of age to determine whether older patients respond differently from younger adult patients. Of the patients with CLL/SLL who received the 200 mg once daily dose of JAYPIRCA in four clinical studies, 480 (61%) were 65 years of age and older and 165 (21%) were 75 years and older [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between younger and older patients.

In the pooled safety population in patients with hematologic malignancies, 720 (62%) were 65 years of age and older, while 266 (23%) were 75 years of age and older. Patients aged 65 years and older experienced higher rates of Grade 3 and higher adverse reactions and serious adverse reactions compared to patients who were less than 65 years of age.

PATIENT INFORMATION

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

What is JAYPIRCA?

JAYPIRCA is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with:

  • mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that has come back (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory) and who have already received at least 2 treatments for their cancer, including a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor medicine.

  • relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have previously been treated for their cancer with a covalent BTK inhibitor medicine.

  • CLL or SLL who have not previously been treated for their cancer and who have no known 17p deletion.

…

What are the possible side effects of JAYPIRCA? JAYPIRCA can cause serious side effects, including:

  • Infections can happen during treatment with JAYPIRCA. These infections can be serious and may lead to death. Your healthcare provider may prescribe vaccines and certain medicines if you have an increased risk of getting infections. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of infection, including:

5.6 Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Newly added subsection:

Hepatotoxicity, including severe, life-threatening, and potentially fatal cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), has occurred in patients treated with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including JAYPIRCA.

Evaluate bilirubin and transaminases at baseline and throughout treatment with JAYPIRCA. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests after JAYPIRCA, monitor more frequently for liver test abnormalities and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatic toxicity. If DILI is suspected, withhold JAYPIRCA. Upon confirmation of DILI, discontinue JAYPIRCA.
