WARNING: EMBRYO–FETAL TOXICITY

  • TRYVIO is contraindicated for use during pregnancy because it may cause fetal harm if used by pregnant patients. Therefore in patients who can become pregnant, exclude pregnancy prior to initiation of TRYVIO.

  • Advise use of effective contraception before the start of TRYVIO, during treatment and for one month after stopping treatment.

  • When pregnancy is detected, discontinue TRYVIO as soon as possible [see Dosage and Administration (2.2), Contraindications (4.1), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

5 Warnings and Precautions

5.1 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Based on data from animal reproduction studies with endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs), TRYVIO may cause fetal harm when administered during pregnancy and is contraindicated for use in patients who are pregnant. The available human data for endothelin receptor antagonists do not establish the presence or absence of fetal harm related to the use of TRYVIO. Counsel patients who can become pregnant about thepotential risk to a fetus. Obtain a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TRYVIO. Advise patients who can become pregnant to use effective contraception prior to initiation of treatment with TRYVIO, during treatment, and for one month after the final dose of TRYVIO. When pregnancy is detected, discontinue TRYVIO as soon as possible [see Dosage and Administration (2.2), Contraindications (4.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

Risk Summary

 

Based on animal reproduction studies with other ERAs, TRYVIO can cause embryo-fetal toxicity, including birth defects and fetal death when administered to a pregnant patient and is contraindicated during pregnancy [see Contraindications (4.1)]. Available data from post-marketing reports and published literature over decades of use with endothelin receptor antagonists in the same class as TRYVIO have not identified an increased risk of fetal harm; however, these data are limited. Methodological limitations of these post- marketing reports and published literature include lack of a control group; limited information regarding dose, duration, and timing of drug exposure; and missing data. These limitations preclude establishing a reliable estimate of the risk of adverse fetal and neonatal outcomes with maternal endothelin receptor antagonist use.

Pregnancy Testing

Verify that patients who can become pregnant, are not pregnant prior to initiating TRYVIO. The patient should contact their physician immediately if onset of menses is delayed or pregnancy is suspected. If the pregnancy test is positive, the physician and patient should discuss the risks to the patient, the pregnancy, and the fetus [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Dosage and Administration (2.2), Contraindications (4.1)].

Contraception

Patients using TRYVIO who can become pregnant should use effective contraception prior to initiation of treatment, during treatment, and for one month after discontinuation of treatment with TRYVIO to prevent pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

What is the most important information I should know about TRYVIO? TRYVIO may cause serious side effects, including:

Serious birth defects.

…

  • Females who can become pregnant should use effective birth control before starting treatment with TRYVIO, during treatment with TRYVIO, and for 1 month after stopping TRYVIO because the medicine may still be in your body.

    • Talk with your healthcare provider or gynecologist (a healthcare provider who specializes in female reproduction) to find out about options for effective birth control that you may use to prevent pregnancy during treatment with TRYVIO.

    • If you decide that you want to change the form of birth control that you use, talk with your healthcare provider or gynecologist to be sure that you choose another acceptable form of birth control.
