Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE COPIKTRA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) after at least two prior lines of systemic therapy. Limitations of Use: COPIKTRA is not indicated or recommended for the treatment of any patients with CLL or SLL as initial or second line treatment due to an increased risk of treatment-related mortality. COPIKTRA is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) after at least two prior lines lines of systemic therapy.
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 25 mg orally, twice daily. Modify dosage for toxicity. ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dose of COPIKTRA is 25 mg administered as oral capsules twice daily (BID) with or without food. A cycle consists of 28 days. The capsules should be swallowed whole. Advise patients not to open, break, or chew the capsules.

If a dose is missed by more than 6 hours, advise patients to wait and take the next dose at the usual time. 2.2 Recommended Prophylaxis Provide prophylaxis for Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJP) during treatment with COPIKTRA.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions have been associated with COPIKTRA in clinical trials and are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the prescribing information: Treatment-related Mortality [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Diarrhea or Colitis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Cutaneous Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] The most common adverse reactions ( > 20%) are diarrhea or colitis, neutropenia, rash, fatigue, pyrexia, cough, nausea, upper respiratory infection, pneumonia, musculoskeletal pain, and anemia.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS CYP3A4 inhibitors: Reduce COPIKTRA dose to 15 mg twice daily when co-administered with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. ( 2.4 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) Strong CYP3A4 inducers: Avoid coadministration. ( 2.5 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, increase the dose of COPIKTRA. ( 2.5 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) CYP3A4 substrates: Monitor for signs of toxicities when co-administering COPIKTRA with sensitive CYP3A substrates. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on COPIKTRA Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Coadministration with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increases duvelisib AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of COPIKTRA toxicities.
Warnings
WARNING: TREATMENT-RELATED MORTALITY AND SERIOUS TOXICITIES: INFECTIONS, DIARRHEA OR COLITIS, CUTANEOUS REACTIONS, AND PNEUMONITIS Treatment-related mortality occurred in 15% of COPIKTRA-treated patients [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Fatal and/or serious infections occurred in 31% of COPIKTRA-treated patients. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection. Withhold COPIKTRA if infection is suspected [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hepatotoxicity: Monitor hepatic function. ( 5.6 ) Neutropenia: Monitor blood counts. ( 5.7 ) Embryo-Fetal toxicity: COPIKTRA can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.8 ) 5.1 Treatment-related Mortality In a randomized controlled study in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL, treatment with COPIKTRA caused increased treatment-related mortality [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . With extended follow-up with a median of 63 months, treatment-related deaths occurred in 15% (23/158) of those patients in the overall population. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None.
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and the mechanism of action, COPIKTRA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk.
