Yargesa

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE YARGESA is a glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor indicated as monotherapy for treatment of adult patients with mild/moderate type 1 Gaucher disease for whom enzyme replacement therapy is not a therapeutic option ( 1.1 ). 1.1 Type 1 Gaucher Disease YARGESA is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with mild to moderate type 1 Gaucher disease for whom enzyme replacement therapy is not a therapeutic option (e.g. due to allergy, hypersensitivity, or poor venous access).

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Recommended dosage is 100 mg administered orally three times a day at regular intervals ( 2.1 ). • May reduce dosage to 100 mg once or twice a day in some patients due to tremor or diarrhea ( 2.1 ). • Adjust in patients with renal impairment ( 2.2 ): Renal Impairment Adjusted Creatinine Clearance (in mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) Recommendations Mild 50 – 70 Start dose at 100 mg twice a day Moderate 30 – 50 Start dose at 100 mg once a day Severe < 30 Use is not recommended 2.1 Instructions for Administration Therapy should be directed by physicians who are knowledgeable in the management of Gaucher disease. The recommended dose for the treatment of adult patients with type 1 Gaucher disease is one 100 mg capsule administered orally three times a day at regular intervals. If a dose is missed, the next YARGESA capsule should be taken at the next scheduled time. It may be necessary to reduce the dose to one 100 mg capsule once or twice a day in some patients due to adverse reactions, such as tremor or diarrhea. 2.2 Patients with Renal Insufficiency In patients with mild renal impairment (adjusted creatinine clearance 50-70 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), initiate YARGESA treatment at a dose of 100 mg twice per day. In patients with moderate renal impairment (adjusted creatinine clearance of 30-50 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), initiate YARGESA treatment at a dose of one 100 mg capsule per day. YARGESA is not recommended for use in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) [ see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ].

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Peripheral neuropathy: Perform baseline and follow-up neurological evaluations at 6-month intervals in all patients ( 5.1 ). • Tremor: Reduce dose to ameliorate tremor or discontinue treatment if tremor does not resolve within days of dose reduction ( 5.2 ). • Diarrhea and weight loss: Evaluate for underlying gastrointestinal disease in patients who do not respond to usual interventions (e.g. diet modification) ( 5.3 ). • Reductions in Platelet count: Mild reductions in platelet counts without association with bleeding were observed in some patients. Monitoring of platelet counts is recommended. ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Peripheral Neuropathy In clinical trials, cases of peripheral neuropathy have been reported in 3% of Gaucher‘s patients treated with miglustat capsules. All patients receiving miglustat capsules treatment should undergo baseline and repeat neurological evaluations at approximately 6-month intervals. Patients who develop symptoms of peripheral neuropathy such as pain, weakness, numbness and tingling should have a careful re-assessment of the risk/benefit of miglustat therapy, and cessation of treatment may be considered. 5.2 Tremor Approximately 30% of patients have reported tremor or exacerbation of existing tremor on treatment. These tremors were described as an exaggerated physiological tremor of the hands. Tremor usually began within the first month of therapy and in many cases resolved between 1 to 3 months during treatment. Reduce dose to ameliorate tremor or discontinue treatment if tremor does not resolve within days of dose reduction. 5.3 Diarrhea and Weight Loss Diarrhea and weight loss were common in clinical studies of patients treated with miglustat capsules, occurring in approximately 85% and up to 65% of treated patients, respectively. Diarrhea appears to be the result of the inhibitory activity of miglustat on intestinal disaccharidases such as sucrase-isomaltase in the gastrointestinal tract leading to reduced absorption of dietary disaccharides in the small intestine, with a resultant osmotic diarrhea. It is unclear if weight loss results from the diarrhea and associated gastrointestinal complaints, a decrease in food intake, or a combination of these or other factors. The incidence of weight loss was most evident in the first 12 months of treatment. Diarrhea decreased over time with continued miglustat treatment, and may respond to individualized diet modification (e.g., reduction of sucrose, lactose and other carbohydrate intake), to taking miglustat capsules between meals, and/or to anti-diarrheal medications, most commonly loperamide. Patients may be instructed to avoid high carbohydrate content foods during treatment with miglustat capsules if they present with diarrhea. Patients with persistent gastrointestinal events that continue during treatment with miglustat capsules, and who do not respond to usual interventions (e.g. diet modification), should be evaluated to determine whether significant underlying gastrointestinal disease is present. The safety of treatment with miglustat capsules has not been evaluated in patients with significant gastrointestinal disease, such as inflammatory bowel disease, and continued treatment of these patients with miglustat capsules should occur only after consideration of the risks and benefits of continued treatment. 5.4 Reductions in Platelet Count In clinical trials evaluating the use of miglustat capsules for treatment of indications other than type 1 Gaucher disease, mild reductions in platelet counts without association with bleeding were observed in some patients; approximately 40% of patients in this trial had low platelet counts (defined as below 150 × 10 9 /L) before starting treatment with miglustat capsules. Monitoring of platelet counts is recommended in patients with type 1 Gaucher disease. Mild reductions in platelet counts without association with bleeding were observed in patients with type 1 Gaucher disease who were switched from enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) to miglustat capsules.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS While co-administration of miglustat capsules appeared to increase the clearance of imiglucerase by 70%, these results are not conclusive because of the small number of patients studied and because patients took variable doses of imiglucerase [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Co-administration of YARGESA and imiglucerase may lead to increased clearance of imiglucerase ( 7 ).

The data described below reflect exposure of 80 patients with type 1 Gaucher disease in two open-label, uncontrolled, monotherapy trials, one open-label, active-controlled trial, and two extensions, who received miglustat capsules at doses ranging from 50 mg to 200 mg three times daily. Patients were aged 18 to 69 years at first treatment. The population was evenly distributed by gender. The most common serious adverse reaction reported with miglustat capsules treatment in clinical trials was peripheral neuropathy [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. The most commonly reported adverse reactions in patients treated with miglustat capsules (occurring in ≥ to 5%) that were considered related to miglustat capsules are shown in Tables 1 and 2. [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2 , 5.3) ]. The most common adverse reactions requiring intervention were diarrhea and tremor. [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2 , 5.3) ]. In two open-label, uncontrolled monotherapy trials, adult type 1 Gaucher disease patients were treated with miglustat capsules at a starting dose of 100 mg three times daily (dose range 100 to 200 mg three times daily) for up to 12 months in 28 patients [Study 1], or at a dose of 50 mg three times daily for up to 6 months in 18 patients [Study 2].

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, miglustat capsules may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Available data from postmarketing case reports with miglustat capsules use in pregnancy are insufficient to assess a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks associated with symptomatic Type I Gaucher disease in pregnancy, including hepatosplenomegaly and thrombocytopenia (see Clinical Considerations). Advise pregnant women of the potential risks to the fetus. In animal reproduction studies, miglustat was maternally toxic in rabbits at exposures near the expected human therapeutic dose and caused embryo-fetal toxicities in rats at doses twice the recommended human dose. No adverse developmental outcomes were observed with administration of miglustat to pregnant rats at dose levels 6 times the recommended human dose. (see Data). 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 and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-associated maternal and embryo-fetal risk Pregnancy may exacerbate existing Type 1 Gaucher disease symptoms or result in new disease manifestations. Type 1 Gaucher disease manifestations may lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes including, hepatosplenomegaly which can interfere with the normal growth of a pregnancy and thrombocytopenia which can lead to increased bleeding and possible hemorrhage. Data Animal Data In female rats given miglustat by oral gavage at doses of 20, 60, 180 mg/kg/day beginning 14 days before mating and continuing through gestation day 17 (organogenesis), increased post implantation loss, decreased embryo-fetal survival and decreased fetal and pup weights were observed at doses greater than or equal to 60 mg/kg/day (greater than or equal to 2 times the human therapeutic dose on a mg/m 2 basis). Miglustat was also administered to pregnant rats by oral gavage at doses of 20, 60, 180 mg/kg/day from gestation day 6 through lactation (postpartum day 20). Delayed and prolonged parturition with decreased live births were observed at doses greater than or equal to 60 mg/kg/day (greater than or equal to 2 times the human therapeutic dose on a mg/m 2 basis). In pregnant rabbits given miglustat by oral gavage at doses of 15, 30, 45 mg/kg/day during gestation days 6-18 (organogenesis), maternal toxicity, including maternal deaths (all doses), reduced food consumption (30 and 45 mg/kg/day), and decreased body weight gain (15 and 30 mg/kg/day), was observed. The 15 mg/kg/day dose level was 0.97 times the human therapeutic dose on a mg/m 2 basis. A pre- and postnatal development study in rats, miglustat was administered by oral gavage at doses of 20, 60, 180 mg/kg/day from gestation day 6 through day 20 of lactation, decreased live births were observed in dams, as well as decreased body weight gain in the offspring at doses greater than or equal to 60 mg/kg/day (greater than or equal to 2 times the human therapeutic dose on a mg/m 2 basis). There was no effect on behavioral and learning assessments, sexual maturation or reproductive performance of the offspring at doses up to 180 mg/kg/day (about 6 times the human therapeutic dose on a mg/m 2 basis).
