About JASCAYD

What is this medication? Suboxone is a prescription medicine used to treat adults who are dependent on opioid drugs, such as heroin or prescription pain relievers. It contains two active ingredients: buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine works as a partial opioid agonist to help reduce withdrawal symptoms and decrease cravings for other opioids. Naloxone is added as an opioid antagonist to help prevent misuse of the medication by causing withdrawal symptoms if the film is injected instead of used as directed. This medication is designed for use as part of a complete treatment plan that includes counseling and behavioral therapy. It is usually administered as a sublingual film that is placed under the tongue to dissolve. By stabilizing the brain chemistry of an individual, Suboxone helps them focus on their recovery and daily activities without the intense highs and lows associated with opioid addiction. It should only be taken exactly as prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional.

Indications and usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE JASCAYD is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor indicated for: The treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in adult patients. ( 1.1 ) The treatment of progressive pulmonary fibrosis in adult patients. ( 1.2 ) 1.1 Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis JASCAYD is indicated for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in adult patients. 1.2 Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis JASCAYD is indicated for the treatment of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in adult patients.
Dosage and administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended Dosage : 18 mg orally twice daily approximately 12 hours apart with or without food. ( 2.1 ) Reduce JASCAYD to 9 mg twice daily for patients who are unable to tolerate 18 mg twice daily, except in patients taking concomitant pirfenidone. ( 2.1 , 7.1 ) Swallow tablets whole or dispersed in water. ( 2.1 ) See full prescribing information for dosage modification for concomitant use with CYP3A inhibitors and administration instructions for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets. ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of JASCAYD is 18 mg twice daily, administered orally (swallow tablets whole or dispersed in water) approximately 12 hours apart, with or without food. Reduce JASCAYD to 9 mg twice daily for patients who are unable to tolerate 18 mg twice daily, except in patients who concomitantly use JASCAYD with pirfenidone. Recommended Dosage for Concomitant Use with Pirfenidone Recommended dosage of JASCAYD is 18 mg twice daily when used concomitantly with pirfenidone. Do not reduce dosage to 9 mg twice daily [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ]. Administration Instructions Swallow JASCAYD tablets whole or dispersed in water [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Missed Dose(s) If a dose of JASCAYD is missed, advise the patient to take the next dose at the next scheduled time. Advise the patient to not make up for a missed dose. Maximum Recommended Dosage The maximum recommended dosage of JASCAYD is 18 mg twice daily. 2.2 Dosage Modification of JASCAYD for Concomitant Use With CYP3A Inhibitors Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Reduce JASCAYD dosage to 9 mg twice daily when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inhibitors [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ]. Moderate and Weak CYP3A Inhibitors No dosage modification is recommended for JASCAYD when used concomitantly with moderate or weak CYP3A inhibitors. 2.3 Administration Instructions for Patients Who Have Difficulty Swallowing Tablets Disperse JASCAYD tablet in water and administer as follows: Place approximately 100 mL (3 to 4 ounces) of non-carbonated, room temperature water in a glass. Do not use any other liquids. Place a JASCAYD tablet in the water, without crushing, and stir regularly for approximately 15 to 20 minutes until the tablet is dispersed into very small pieces (the tablet will not completely dissolve). Drink the dispersion within 2 hours of mixing. If the dispersion is not drunk immediately, stir again before drinking. Rinse the glass with approximately 100 mL (3 to 4 ounces) of water and drink to ensure the full dose is administered.

Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A Inhibitors : Reduce JASCAYD dosage to 9 mg twice daily. ( 2.2 , 7.1 ) Moderate or Strong CYP3A Inducers : Avoid concomitant use with JASCAYD. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on JASCAYD Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Reduce the dosage of JASCAYD to 9 mg twice daily when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Nerandomilast is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of JASCAYD with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases exposure of nerandomilast, which may increase the risk of JASCAYD adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Moderate or Strong CYP3A Inducers Avoid use of JASCAYD with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Nerandomilast is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of JASCAYD with moderate or strong CYP3A inducers is expected to decrease exposure of nerandomilast, which may decrease the efficacy of JASCAYD [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Pirfenidone Recommended dosage of JASCAYD is 18 mg twice daily when used concomitantly with pirfenidone. Do not reduce the dosage to 9 mg twice daily [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . Concomitant use of JASCAYD with pirfenidone decreases exposure of nerandomilast [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . When JASCAYD was used concomitantly with pirfenidone in patients with IPF in FIBRONEER-IPF, efficacy was not observed with the JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily dosage [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions (≥5%) are diarrhea, COVID-19, upper respiratory tract infection, depression, weight decreased, decreased appetite, nausea, fatigue, headache, vomiting, back pain, and dizziness. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at (800) 542-6257 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. Adverse Reactions for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis The safety of JASCAYD was based on a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial (FIBRONEER-IPF), which included 1,177 adult patients with IPF who were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, or matching placebo. Patients received JASCAYD or placebo with or without background antifibrotic treatment (nintedanib or pirfenidone) for at least 52 weeks [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . The median duration of exposure was 14 months in each treatment arm. Discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with JASCAYD (with or without background antifibrotic treatment) 18 mg (15%) and 9 mg (12%) compared to placebo (11%). The most frequent adverse reaction leading to discontinuation of JASCAYD 18 mg and 9 mg was diarrhea (6% and 2%, respectively). Table 1 lists the most common adverse reactions from the studied population with an incidence of greater than or equal to 5% in JASCAYD-treated patients and more common than the placebo group.

In patients taking nintedanib, diarrhea occurred in 62%, 50%, and 28% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. In patients using concomitant pirfenidone, diarrhea occurred in 24% and 8% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily and placebo, respectively. In patients without concomitant antifibrotic treatment, diarrhea occurred in 26%, 17%, and 8% of patients using JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. Diarrhea was the most common adverse reaction associated with treatment discontinuation, and most common with JASCAYD used concomitantly with nintedanib: discontinuation occurred in 13%, 2%, and 1% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily and placebo, respectively. No treatment discontinuations due to diarrhea occurred in patients treated with background pirfenidone and JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily or background pirfenidone with placebo. Diarrhea leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 1% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily and in no patients treated with JASCAYD 9 mg or placebo without concomitant antifibrotic treatment. In most patients treated with JASCAYD, diarrhea was of mild to moderate intensity and generally occurred within the first 3 months of treatment. Weight Decrease Weight decrease was most common in patients who received JASCAYD concomitantly with nintedanib in the studied population: in patients taking nintedanib, weight decrease occurred in 16%, 14%, and 12% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. In patients using concomitant pirfenidone, weight decrease occurred in 6% and 5% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily and placebo, respectively. In patients without background antifibrotic therapy, weight decrease occurred in 8%, 2%, and 6% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. Decreased Appetite In patients taking nintedanib, decreased appetite occurred in 7%, 10%, and 4% in JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. In patients using concomitant pirfenidone, decreased appetite occurred in 13% and 10% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily and placebo, respectively. In patients without concomitant antifibrotic treatment, decreased appetite occurred in 9%, 6%, and 0% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. Less Common Adverse Reactions in IPF Less common adverse reactions in the IPF population following administration of JASCAYD included asthenia (5% JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, 4% JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and 2% placebo), amylase increased (1% JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, 1% JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and 0% placebo), and vasculitis (1% JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, 1% JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and 0% placebo). Adverse Reactions for Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis The safety of JASCAYD was based on a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial (FIBRONEER-ILD), in which 1,178 adult patients with PPF were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, or matching placebo. Patients received JASCAYD or placebo with or without background nintedanib treatment for at least 52 weeks [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ]. The median duration of exposure was 15 months in each treatment arm. The most common adverse reactions in patients with PPF treated with JASCAYD were generally consistent with those observed in patients with IPF. Specific Adverse Reactions of JASCAYD for PPF with or without Concomitant Use of Nintedanib Diarrhea Diarrhea was more common in patients using JASCAYD with concomitant nintedanib. In patients taking nintedanib, diarrhea occurred in 49%, 50%, and 37% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. In patients without concomitant use of nintedanib, diarrhea occurred in 27%, 16%, and 16% of patients using JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. Diarrhea was the most common adverse reaction associated with treatment discontinuation, and most common with JASCAYD used concomitantly with nintedanib: discontinuation occurred in 4%, 3%, and 1% in patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. Diarrhea leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 1% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily and in no patients treated with JASCAYD 9 mg or placebo without concomitant use of nintedanib. In most patients treated with JASCAYD, diarrhea was of mild to moderate intensity and generally occurred within the first 3 months of treatment. Weight Decrease Weight decrease was more common in patients who received JASCAYD concomitantly with nintedanib, which occurred in 12%, 10%, and 9% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. In patients without concomitant use of nintedanib, weight decrease occurred in 13%, 8%, and 5% of patients treated with JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and placebo, respectively. Malignancies Among patients with PPF, neoplasms (benign, malignant, or unspecified) were reported in more patients with PPF treated with JASCAYD than placebo over the entire study duration of FIBRONEER-ILD (5% JASCAYD 18 mg, 5% JASCAYD 9 mg, and 3% placebo). Malignancies such as non-melanoma skin cancers and small cell lung cancer were observed in patients who received JASCAYD (basal cell carcinoma: JASCAYD 18 mg n=2 [1%] vs. JASCAYD 9 mg n=3 [1%] vs. placebo n=1 [0.3%]; squamous cell carcinoma of skin: JASCAYD 18 mg n=4 [1%] vs. JASCAYD 9 mg n=2 [0.5%] vs. placebo n=0; and small cell lung cancer: JASCAYD 18 mg n=4 [1%] vs. JASCAYD 9 mg and placebo n=0). Less Common Adverse Reaction(s) in PPF Less common adverse reactions in the PPF population following administration of JASCAYD include atrial fibrillation (3% JASCAYD 18 mg twice daily, 2% JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily, and <1% placebo).
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on JASCAYD use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are maternal and fetal risks associated with untreated idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) during pregnancy (Clinical Considerations). Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, JASCAYD may increase the risk for fetal loss. In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, oral administration of nerandomilast to pregnant rats during organogenesis at an exposure approximately 5 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 36 mg/day resulted in an increase in embryo-fetal losses (see Data ) . Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk of fetal loss. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 15% to 20%. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Untreated IPF or PPF can lead to respiratory failure and mortality in the mother and intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth, fetal hypoxia, and neonatal death. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats dosed by the oral route during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6 to 17, nerandomilast caused an increase in embryo-fetal losses (pre- and post-implantation loss and decreased mean number of live fetuses) at an exposure that was approximately 5 times the MRHD (on an AUC basis with a maternal oral dose of 6 mg/kg/day). Maternal toxicity, as evidenced by decreased body weight gains and adverse clinical signs, was observed at exposures approximately 7 times the MRHD (on an AUC basis with a maternal oral dose of 9 mg/kg/day). No fetal or maternal toxicities were observed at exposures up to 3 and 5 times the MRHD (on an AUC basis with maternal oral doses of 3 mg/kg/day and 6 mg/kg/day), respectively. In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits dosed by the oral route during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 7 to 19, no effects on maternal or fetal development were observed at an exposure that was approximately 4 times the MRHD (on an AUC basis with a maternal oral dose of 15 mg/kg/day). In a prenatal and postnatal development study in pregnant rats dosed by the oral route during the periods of gestation and lactation from gestation day 6 to lactation day 20, nerandomilast had no effects on delivery or the growth and development of offspring at an exposure that was approximately 2 times the MRHD (on an AUC basis with a maternal oral dose of 3 mg/kg/day).
