Mulpleta

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE MULPLETA is indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a procedure. MULPLETA is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a procedure. ( 1 )

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Begin MULPLETA dosing 8-14 days prior to a scheduled procedure. ( 2.1 ) Patients should undergo their procedure 2-8 days after the last dose. ( 2.1 ) Recommended Dosage: 3 mg orally once daily with or without food for 7 days. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage Begin MULPLETA dosing 8-14 days prior to a scheduled procedure. Patients should undergo their procedure 2-8 days after the last dose. The recommended dosage of MULPLETA is 3 mg taken orally once daily with or without food for 7 days. In the case of a missed dose of MULPLETA, patients should take the missed dose as soon as possible on the same day and return to the normal schedule the following day. MULPLETA has been investigated only as a single 7-day once daily dosing regimen in clinical trials in patients with chronic liver disease [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . MULPLETA should not be administered to patients with chronic liver disease in an attempt to normalize platelet counts. 2.2 Monitoring Obtain a platelet count prior to initiation of MULPLETA therapy and not more than 2 days before the procedure.

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Complications: MULPLETA is a thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist, and TPO receptor agonists have been associated with thrombotic and thromboembolic complications in patients with chronic liver disease. Monitor platelet counts and for thromboembolic events and institute treatment promptly. ( 5.1 ) 5.1 Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Complications MULPLETA is a thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist, and TPO receptor agonists have been associated with thrombotic and thromboembolic complications in patients with chronic liver disease. Portal vein thrombosis has been reported in patients with chronic liver disease treated with TPO receptor agonists. Portal vein thrombosis was reported in 1% (2 of 171) of MULPLETA-treated patients and 1% (2 of 170) of placebo-treated patients in 3 randomized, double-blind trials and was identified post-procedure in protocol-specified imaging. The thromboses were not associated with a marked increase in platelet count. Consider the potential increased thrombotic risk when administering MULPLETA to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic pro-thrombotic conditions (Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210A, Antithrombin deficiency, or Protein C or S deficiency). In patients with ongoing or prior thrombosis or absence of hepatopetal blood flow, MULPLETA should only be used if the potential benefit to the patient justifies the potential risk. MULPLETA should not be administered to patients with chronic liver disease in an attempt to normalize platelet counts.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in detail in other sections of the labeling: Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Complications [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common adverse reaction (≥3%): headache.

Inc. at 1-888-465-2125 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. The safety of MULPLETA was evaluated in 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, L-PLUS 1, L-PLUS 2, and M0626, in which patients with chronic liver disease and thrombocytopenia were treated with MULPLETA (N=171) or placebo (N=170) at a dose of 3 mg daily for up to 7 days prior to a scheduled procedure. The majority of patients were males (59%), and median age was 61 years (range 19-88). The racial and ethnic distribution was White (50%), Asian (47%), Black (<1%), and Other (3%). The most common adverse reactions (those occurring in at least 3%) in the MULPLETA-treated group across the pooled data from the three trials are summarized in table 1. Table 1. Adverse Reactions with a Frequency ≥3% in Patients Treated with MULPLETA (Pooled Data (L-PLUS 1, L-PLUS 2, and M0626)) Adverse Reaction Includes treatment-emergent adverse reactions occurring at a rate higher than placebo. MULPLETA 3 mg (N=171) % Placebo (N=170) % Headache 5 4 The incidence of serious adverse events was 5% (9 of 171 patients) in the MULPLETA group and 7% (12 of 170 patients) in the placebo group. The most common serious adverse reaction reported with MULPLETA was portal vein thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . No adverse reactions resulted in discontinuation of MULPLETA.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on MULPLETA in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of lusutrombopag to pregnant rats during organogenesis and the lactation period resulted in adverse developmental outcomes. These findings were observed at exposures based on AUC that were substantially higher than the AUC observed in patients (approximately 89 times) at the recommended clinical dose of 3 mg once daily . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus (see Data ) . The 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 general population in the United States, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, lusutrombopag was orally administered during organogenesis at doses of 4, 12.5, 40, and 80 mg/kg/day. Low body weight and a decrease in the number of ossified sternebrae were noted in fetuses at 80 mg/kg/day (approximately 251 times the AUC observed in patients at the recommended clinical dose of 3 mg once daily). Minor skeletal variations (supernumerary ribs) were observed at doses of 4 mg/kg/day (approximately 23 times the AUC observed in patients at the recommended clinical dose of 3 mg once daily). In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits following oral administration of lusutrombopag at doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day, no effect of lusutrombopag was observed on any parameter of embryo-fetal development. In a pre- and postnatal development study in rats at oral doses of 1, 4, 12.5, and 40 mg/kg/day, there were adverse effects of lusutrombopag on postnatal development at 40 mg/kg/day (approximately 230 times the AUC observed in patients at the recommended clinical dose of 3 mg once daily). The effects included prolongation of the gestation period in dams, low viability before weaning, delayed postnatal growth (delayed negative geotaxis, delayed eyelid opening, or low pup body weight), abnormal clinical signs (prominent annular rings on the tail after weaning), low fertility index, a low number of corpora lutea or implantations, and increased pre-implantation loss. The incidence of short thoracolumbar supernumerary ribs on postnatal Day 4 of F1 pups was high at doses of 12.5 mg/kg/day or more (approximately 89 times the AUC observed in patients at the recommended clinical dose of 3 mg once daily).
