Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE IDHIFA is an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test ( 1.1 ). 1.1 Acute Myeloid Leukemia IDHIFA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test.

Dosage

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 100 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity ( 2.2 ). 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for the treatment of AML with IDHIFA based on the presence of IDH2 mutations in the blood or bone marrow [see Indications and Usage (1.1) and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of IDH2 mutations in AML is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics . 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of IDHIFA is 100 mg taken orally once daily with or without food until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. For patients without disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 months to allow time for clinical response. Swallow tablets whole.

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Differentiation Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated bilirubin, and decreased appetite ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bristol Myers Squibb at 1-800-721-5072 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Certain CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 Substrates: Avoid concomitant use unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information ( 7.1 ). • Certain CYP3A Substrates: Avoid concomitant use unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information ( 7.1 ). • Certain OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP Substrates: Avoid concomitant use unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information ( 7.1 ). 7.1 Effect of IDHIFA on Other Drugs Certain CYP1A2 Substrates Avoid concomitant use with IDHIFA unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for CYP1A2 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions.

Warnings

WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME Patients treated with IDHIFA have experienced symptoms of differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal if not treated. Symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, acute respiratory distress, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural or pericardial effusions, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, lymphadenopathy, bone pain, and hepatic, renal, or multi-organ dysfunction. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : IDHIFA can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus and use effective contraception ( 5.2 , 8.1 , 8.3 ). 5.1 Differentiation Syndrome In the clinical trial, 14% of patients treated with IDHIFA experienced differentiation syndrome, which may be life-threatening or fatal if not treated. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None ( 4 ).

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, IDHIFA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on IDHIFA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. In animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, oral administration of enasidenib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis was associated with embryo-fetal mortality and alterations to growth starting at 0.1 times the steady state clinical exposure based on the AUC at the recommended human dose (see Data).
