About EVRYSDI

What is this medication?

Evrysdi is a prescription medicine used to treat spinal muscular atrophy, commonly known as SMA, in both adults and children. SMA is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nerve cells in the spinal cord, leading to progressive muscle weakness and loss of movement. This medication works by helping the body produce more of the survival motor neuron protein, which is vital for the health and survival of the nerve cells that control muscle movement.

This treatment is a liquid medication that is taken once daily by mouth or through a feeding tube, making it the first at-home oral therapy for this condition. It is approved for use in patients of all ages, including infants. By increasing the levels of necessary proteins throughout the central nervous system and the rest of the body, Evrysdi aims to improve motor function and help individuals with SMA maintain their physical strength and independence.

( 2.2 ) Administer EVRYSDI for oral solution with the provided oral syringe. ( 2.2 ) EVRYSDI for oral solution must be constituted by a healthcare provider prior to dispensing. ( 2.4 ) See Full Prescribing Information for important preparation and administration instructions. ( 2.2 , 2.4 ) 2.1 Dosing Information EVRYSDI is administered orally once daily with or without food at approximately the same time each day. The recommended dosage is determined by age and body weight (see Table 1 ). EVRYSDI tablets are available for patients prescribed the 5 mg dose. Table 1 Adult and Pediatric Dosing Regimen by Age and Body Weight Age and Body Weight Recommended Daily Dosage Dosage Form Less than 2 months of age 0.15 mg/kg EVRYSDI for Oral Solution 2 months to less than 2 years of age 0.2 mg/kg 2 years of age and older weighing less than 20 kg 0.25 mg/kg 2 years of age and older weighing 20 kg or more 5 mg EVRYSDI for Oral Solution or EVRYSDI Tablet 2.2 Important Administration Instructions It is recommended that a healthcare provider discuss with the patient or caregiver how to prepare the prescribed daily dose prior to administration of the first dose [see Instructions for Use for EVRYSDI for Oral Solution and EVRYSDI Tablets and Patient Information ]. EVRYSDI for Oral Solution In infants who are breastfed, EVRYSDI for oral solution can be administered before or after breastfeeding. EVRYSDI cannot be mixed with formula or milk. Instruct patients or caregivers to administer the dose using the reusable oral syringe provided. EVRYSDI for oral solution must be taken immediately after it is drawn up into the oral syringe. If EVRYSDI is not taken within 5 minutes, EVRYSDI should be discarded from the oral syringe, and a new dose should be prepared. Instruct patients to drink water after taking EVRYSDI for oral solution to ensure the drug has been completely swallowed. EVRYSDI for oral solution can be administered via a nasogastric or gastrostomy tube. The tube should be flushed with water after delivering EVRYSDI for oral solution [see Instructions for Use ]. EVRYSDI Tablets Swallow EVRYSDI tablets whole with water. Do not chew, cut, or crush the tablets. Alternatively, the EVRYSDI tablet can also be dispersed in one teaspoon (5 mL) of room temperature non-chlorinated drinking water (e.g., filtered water). EVRYSDI tablets must not be dispersed in any liquid other than non-chlorinated drinking water. Do not expose the prepared dispersion to sunlight. Swirl the small cup gently for up to 3 minutes until fully mixed (though some particles will remain). Administer the dispersed tablet immediately. To ensure no particles are left in the small cup, refill it with at least one tablespoon (15 mL) of non-chlorinated drinking water, swirl, and administer immediately again. EVRYSDI must be taken immediately after it is dispersed in non-chlorinated drinking water. Discard the prepared dispersion if it is not used within 10 minutes of adding non-chlorinated drinking water. The dispersed EVRYSDI tablet can be administered via a nasogastric or gastrostomy tube that is 8 French or higher. Flush the tube with the non-chlorinated drinking water [at least one tablespoon (15 mL)] used to rinse the dispersion cup [see Instructions for Use ]. 2.3 Missed Dose If a dose of EVRYSDI is missed, EVRYSDI should be administered as soon as possible if still within 6 hours of the missed dose, and the usual dosing schedule can be resumed on the next day. Otherwise, the missed dose should be skipped, and the next dose should be taken at the regularly scheduled time on the next day. If a dose is not fully swallowed or vomiting occurs after taking a dose of EVRYSDI, another dose should not be administered to make up for the lost dose. The patient should wait until the next day to take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. 2.4 Preparation of Powder for Oral Solution by Healthcare Provider EVRYSDI powder must be constituted to the oral solution by a pharmacist or other healthcare provider prior to dispensing to the patient. Preparation of the EVRYSDI Oral Solution 0.75 mg/mL The EVRYSDI " Instructions for Constitution " booklet contains more detailed instructions on the preparation of the oral solution [see Instructions for Constitution ] . Caution should be exercised when handling EVRYSDI powder for oral solution . Avoid inhalation and direct contact with skin or mucous membranes with the dry powder and the constituted solution. If such contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water; rinse eyes with water. Wear disposable gloves during the preparation and cleanup procedure. Gently tap the bottom of the closed glass bottle to loosen the powder. Remove the cap. Do not throw away the cap. Carefully pour 79 mL of purified water into the EVRYSDI bottle to yield the 0.75 mg/mL oral solution. Do not mix EVRYSDI with formula or milk. Insert the press-in bottle adapter into the bottle opening by pushing it down against the bottle lip. Ensure it is completely pressed against the bottle lip. Re-cap the bottle tightly and shake well for 15 seconds. Wait for 10 minutes. You should have obtained a clear solution. If not, shake well again for another 15 seconds or until you have obtained a clear solution. Write the date of expiration of the constituted oral solution (calculated as 64 days after constitution) and the lot number on the bottle label. Peel off the part of the bottle label that has the expiration date of the powder. Put the bottle back in its original carton. Select the appropriate oral syringes (1 mL, 6 mL, or 12 mL) based on the patient's dosage and remove the other oral syringes from the carton. Dispense with the " Instructions for Use " and FDA-approved patient labeling. Alert patients to read the important handling information described in the Instructions for Use . Storage Keep the constituted oral solution of EVRYSDI in the original amber bottle to protect from light. Store in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion 64 days after constitution. Keep the bottle in an upright position with the cap tightly closed. If refrigeration is not available, EVRYSDI can be kept at room temperature up to 40°C (up to 104°F) for a combined total of 5 days. EVRYSDI can be removed from, and returned to, a refrigerator. The total combined time out of refrigeration should not exceed 5 days.

Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Avoid coadministration with drugs that are substrates of multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporters. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of EVRYSDI on Substrates of Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion (MATE) Protein Transporters Based on in vitro data, EVRYSDI may increase plasma concentrations of drugs eliminated via MATE1 or MATE2-K [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , such as metformin. Avoid coadministration of EVRYSDI with MATE substrates. If coadministration cannot be avoided, monitor for drug-related toxicities and consider dosage reduction of the coadministered drug (based on the labeling of that drug) if needed.
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions in later-onset SMA (incidence at least 10% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and more frequent than control) were fever, diarrhea, and rash. ( 6.1 ) The most common adverse reactions in infantile-onset SMA were similar to those observed in later-onset SMA patients. Additionally, adverse reactions with an incidence of at least 10% were upper respiratory tract infection, lower respiratory tract infection, constipation, vomiting, and cough. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Genentech at 1-888-835-2555 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 clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In clinical trials including patients with infantile-onset SMA, later-onset SMA, and pre-symptomatic SMA, a total of 491 patients (51% female, 74% Caucasian) were exposed to EVRYSDI for up to a median duration of 48.1 months (range: 0.6 to 63.4 months), with 231 patients receiving treatment for more than 24 months. At the time of first EVRYSDI dose, 90 (18%) patients were 18 years and older, 119 (24%) were 12 years to less than 18 years, 189 (39%) were 2 years to less than 12 years, 67 (14%) 2 months to less than 2 years, and 26 (5%) were less than 2 months. Clinical Trial in Later-Onset SMA The safety of EVRYSDI for later-onset SMA is based on data from a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study (Study 2 Part 2) in patients with SMA Type 2 or 3 (n = 180) [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ]. The patient population in Study 2 Part 2 ranged in age from 2 to 25 years at the time of the first dose. The most common adverse reactions (reported in at least 10% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and at an incidence greater than on placebo) in Study 2 Part 2 were fever, diarrhea, and rash. Table 2 lists the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 5% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and at an incidence ≥ 5% greater than on placebo in Study 2 Part 2. Table 2 Adverse Reactions Reported in ≥ 5% of Patients Treated with EVRYSDI and with an Incidence ≥ 5% Greater Than on Placebo in Study 2 Part 2 Adverse Reaction EVRYSDI (N = 120) % Placebo (N = 60) % Fever Includes pyrexia and hyperpyrexia. 22 17 Diarrhea 17 8 Rash Includes rash, erythema, rash maculo-papular, rash erythematous, rash papular, dermatitis allergic, and folliculitis. 17 2 Mouth and aphthous ulcers 7 0 Arthralgia 5 0 Urinary tract infection Includes urinary tract infection and cystitis. 5 0 Clinical Trial in Infantile-Onset SMA The safety of EVRYSDI therapy for infantile-onset SMA is based on data from an open-label study in 62 patients (Study 1) [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. The patient population ranged in age from 2 to 7 months at the time of the first EVRYSDI dose (weight range: 4.1 to 10.6 kg). The most frequent adverse reactions reported in infantile-onset SMA patients treated with EVRYSDI in Study 1 were similar to those observed in later-onset SMA patients in Study 2. Additionally, the following adverse reactions reported in ≥ 10% of patients were: upper respiratory tract infection (including nasopharyngitis, rhinitis), lower respiratory tract infection (including pneumonia, bronchitis), constipation, vomiting, and cough. Clinical Trial in Pre-Symptomatic SMA The safety of EVRYSDI therapy for pre-symptomatic SMA is based on data from an open-label, single-arm study in 26 patients (Study 3) [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ] . The patient population ranged in age from 16 to 41 days at the time of the first dose (weight range: 3.1 to 5.7 kg). The safety profile of EVRYSDI in pre-symptomatic patients in Study 3 is consistent with the safety profile for symptomatic SMA patients treated with EVRYSDI in clinical trials.
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy and fetal/neonatal/infant outcomes in women exposed to EVRYSDI during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients and pregnant women are encouraged to register themselves by calling 1-833-760-1098 or visiting https://www.evrysdipregnancyregistry.com. Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of EVRYSDI in pregnant women. In animal studies, administration of risdiplam during pregnancy or throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in adverse effects on development (embryofetal mortality, malformations, decreased fetal body weights, and reproductive impairment in offspring) at or above clinically relevant drug exposures [see Data ]. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defect and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Based on animal data, advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Data Animal Data Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 3, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats throughout organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weights and increased incidences of fetal structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was not associated with maternal toxicity. The no-effect level for adverse effects on embryofetal development (3 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) approximately 2 times that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 5 mg. Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 4, or 12 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits throughout organogenesis resulted in embryofetal mortality, fetal malformations (hydrocephaly), and structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity. The no-effect dose for adverse effects on embryofetal development (4 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) approximately 4 times that in humans at the MRHD. When risdiplam (0, 0.75, 1.5, or 3 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation, gestation was prolonged in the dams, and delayed sexual maturation (vaginal opening) and impaired reproductive function (decreased numbers of corpora lutea, implantation sites, and live embryos) were observed in female offspring at the highest dose. The no-effect dose for adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development in rats (1.5 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) similar to that in humans at the MRHD.
