Limitations of Use LEQSELVI is not recommended for use in combination with other JAK inhibitors, biologic immunomodulators, cyclosporine, or other potent immunosuppressants. LEQSELVI is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adults with severe alopecia areata. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use: LEQSELVI is not recommended for use in combination with other JAK inhibitors, biologic immunomodulators, cyclosporine or other potent immunosuppressants. ( 1 )
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For recommended testing, evaluations, and procedures prior to and during LEQSELVI treatment, see Full Prescribing Information. ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage is 8 mg twice daily. ( 2.2 ) For treatment interruption for certain adverse reactions, see Full Prescribing Information. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Recommended Evaluations and Immunizations Prior to and During Treatment Perform the following prior to treatment with LEQSELVI: CYP2C9 genotype determination: Test patients for CYP2C9 variants to determine CYP2C9 genotype. LEQSELVI is contraindicated in patients who are CYP2C9 poor metabolizers (patients with decreased cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 function) [see Contraindications ( 4 )] .
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Serious Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Malignancy and Lymphoproliferative Disorders [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Gastrointestinal perforations [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] Lipid Elevations, Anemia, Neutropenia and Lymphopenia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] Most common adverse reactions (≥1%) are: headache, acne, nasopharyngitis, blood creatine phosphokinase increased, hyperlipidemia, fatigue, weight increased, lymphopenia, thrombocytosis, anemia, skin and soft tissue infections, neutropenia, and herpes.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Effect of Other Drugs on LEQSELVI Strong CYP3A and moderate or strong CYP2C9 inducers: Avoid concomitant use of LEQSELVI with strong CYP3A and moderate or strong CYP2C9 inducers. Deuruxolitinib is a CYP2C9 and CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A and moderate or strong CYP2C9 inducer decreases deuruxolitinib exposure (C max and AUC), which may reduce LEQSELVI efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Moderate or strong CYP2C9 inhibitors: LEQSELVI is contraindicated in patients taking moderate or strong CYP2C9 inhibitors [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . Deuruxolitinib is a CYP2C9 substrate.
Warnings
WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS, MORTALITY, MALIGNANCY, MAJOR ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS, AND THROMBOSIS Increased risk of serious bacterial, fungal, viral and opportunistic infections, including tuberculosis (TB), that may lead to hospitalization or death. Interrupt treatment with LEQSELVI if a serious infection occurs until the infection is controlled. LEQSELVI treatment is not recommended in patients with active tuberculosis. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Increased Risk of LEQSELVI-Associated Serious Adverse Reactions in CYP2C9 Poor Metabolizers or with Concomitant Use of Moderate or Strong CYP2C9 Inhibitors : LEQSELVI is contraindicated in patients who are CYP2C9 poor metabolizers or patients taking a moderate or strong CYP2C9 inhibitor. ( 5.6 ) Gastrointestinal Perforations: Monitor patients who may be at increased risk for gastrointestinal perforation. Evaluate promptly patients presenting with new onset abdominal symptoms. ( 5.7 ) Lipid Elevations, Anemia, Neutropenia, and Lymphopenia: Monitor for changes in lipids, hemoglobin, neutrophils, and lymphocytes. ( 5.8 ) Immunizations: Avoid use of live vaccines during or immediately prior to LEQSELVI treatment. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS LEQSELVI is contraindicated in patients who: Are CYP2C9 poor metabolizers [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] . Are on concomitant moderate or strong CYP2C9 inhibitors [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] . LEQSELVI is contraindicated in patients: Who are CYP2C9 poor metabolizers. ( 4 ) Using moderate or strong CYP2C9 inhibitors. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the findings from animal reproduction studies, deuruxolitinib may cause fetal harm during pregnancy. Available data from pregnancies reported in clinical trials with LEQSELVI are not sufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of deuruxolitinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at a dose 4.8 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) resulted in reduced fetal weight and increased skeletal malformation.
Storage
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING How Supplied: LEQSELVI tablets are packaged in white, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles and closed with 24 mm white child-resistant caps with foil liner. Each bottle contains 1 g silica-gel canister.
