Generic Name: seladelpar lysine

Over-the-Counter (OTC)

Brand Names:

Livdelzi

11 DESCRIPTION LIVDELZI capsules contain seladelpar lysine, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-delta (δ) agonist. Seladelpar is a single enantiomer of the R-configuration and is present as a lysine dihydrate salt. Seladelpar lysine dihydrate is a white to off-white powder with a molecular formula of C 21 H 23 F 3 O 5 S ∙C 6 H 14 N 2 O 2 ∙2H 2 O and a molecular weight of 626.7 g/mol.

Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE LIVDELZI is indicated for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in adults who have had an inadequate response to UDCA, or as monotherapy in patients unable to tolerate UDCA. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on a reduction of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Improvement in survival or prevention of liver decompensation events have not been demonstrated. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s).

Dosage

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dosage of LIVDELZI is 10 mg orally once daily. Administer LIVDELZI with or without food. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of LIVDELZI is 10 mg orally once daily. Administer LIVDELZI with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.2 Administration Modification for Bile Acid Sequestrants Administer LIVDELZI at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after taking bile acid sequestrants, or at as great an interval as possible [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] .

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Fractures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Liver Test Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥5% and higher compared to placebo) are headache, abdominal pain, nausea, abdominal distension, and dizziness.

Warnings

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Fractures : Consider the risk of fracture in patients treated with LIVDELZI. Monitor bone health according to current standards of care. ( 5.1 ) Liver Test Abnormalities : Obtain baseline clinical and laboratory liver assessments prior to starting LIVDELZI and monitor during treatment. Interrupt or discontinue LIVDELZI if the liver tests worsen. ( 5.2 ) Biliary Obstruction : Avoid use in patients with complete biliary obstruction. If biliary obstruction is suspected, interrupt LIVDELZI and treat as clinically indicated. ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Fractures Fractures occurred in 4% of LIVDELZI-treated patients compared to no placebo-treated patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None.

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are insufficient data from human pregnancies exposed to LIVDELZI to allow an assessment of a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, no malformations or effects on embryo-fetal survival occurred in pregnant rats or rabbits after seladelpar treatment at exposures of up to 176-times and 49-times the recommended dose based on AUC (area under the plasma concentration-time curve), respectively.
