Relapsed or Refractory AML with an NPM1 Mutation

The safety of KOMZIFTI for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory AML with an NPM1 mutation was evaluated in KO-MEN-001 [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received KOMZIFTI 600 mg once daily (n=112). The median duration of exposure to KOMZIFTI was 2.2 months (range 0.1 to 21.5 months).

Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4 (4%) patients who received KOMZIFTI, including 2 with differentiation syndrome, 1 with infection, and 1 with sudden death. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 79% of patients who received KOMZIFTI. Serious adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 5% of patients included infection without an identified pathogen (29%), febrile neutropenia (18%), bacterial infection (16%), differentiation syndrome (16%), and dyspnea (6%).

Dosage interruption of KOMZIFTI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 54% of patients. Adverse reactions that required dose interruption in ≥ 2% of patients included infection without an identified pathogen (15%), differentiation syndrome (13%), febrile neutropenia (5%), pyrexia (4%), electrocardiogram QT prolonged (4%), leukocytosis (4%), bacterial infection (3%), cardiac failure (2%), cholecystitis (2%), diarrhea (2%), pruritus (2%), and thrombosis (2%). Dose reduction of KOMZIFTI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 4% of patients. Permanent discontinuation of KOMZIFTI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 21% of patients. Adverse reactions that required permanent discontinuation of KOMZIFTI in ≥ 2% of patients were infection without an identified pathogen (8%), bacterial infection (4%), cardiac arrest (2%), and differentiation syndrome (2%).

The most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were aspartate aminotransferase increased, infection without an identified pathogen, potassium decreased, albumin decreased, alanine aminotransferase increased, sodium decreased, creatinine increased, alkaline phosphatase increased, hemorrhage, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, edema, bacterial infection, musculoskeletal pain, bilirubin increased, potassium increased, differentiation syndrome, pruritus, febrile neutropenia, and transaminases increased.

Drug Interactions for Komzifti

Effect of Other Drugs on KOMZIFTI

Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors

Monitor patients more frequently for KOMZIFTI-associated adverse reactions.

Ziftomenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A. Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors increases ziftomenib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions such as QT prolongation.

Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers

Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers.

Ziftomenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A. Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease ziftomenib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce the efficacy of KOMZIFTI.

Gastric Acid Reducing Agents

Concomitant administration of ziftomenib with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) decreases ziftomenib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce the efficacy of KOMZIFTI.

Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with PPIs.

Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) or locally acting antacids. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, modify KOMZIFTI administration time [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

Drugs that Prolong the QT Interval

Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with other product(s) with a known potential to prolong the QTc interval. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, obtain ECGs when initiating, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Interrupt KOMZIFTI if the QTc interval is > 500 ms or the change from baseline is > 60 ms [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

Ziftomenib causes QTc interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with other products that prolong the QTc interval may result in a greater increase in the QTc interval and adverse reactions associated with QTc interval prolongation, including Torsades de pointes, other serious arrhythmias, and sudden death [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Warnings for Komzifti

Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.

Precautions for Komzifti

Differentiation Syndrome

KOMZIFTI can cause fatal or life-threatening differentiation syndrome. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome, including those seen in patients treated with KOMZIFTI, may include fever, hypoxia, joint pain, hypotension, dyspnea, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, pleural or pericardial effusions, acute kidney injury, and rashes.

In the clinical trial, differentiation syndrome occurred in 29 (26%) of 112 patients with relapsed or refractory AML with an NPM1 mutation who were treated with KOMZIFTI at the recommended dosage. Differentiation syndrome was Grade 3 in 13% and fatal in two patients. In broader evaluation of all patients with any genetic form of AML treated with KOMZIFTI monotherapy in clinical trials, differentiation syndrome occurred in 25% of patients. Four fatal cases of differentiation syndrome occurred out of 39 patients with KMT2A-rearranged AML treated with KOMZIFTI. KOMZIFTI is not approved for use in patients with KMT2A-rearranged AML.

In the 112 patients with an NPM1 mutation, differentiation syndrome was observed with and without concomitant hyperleukocytosis, in as early as 3 days and up to 46 days after KOMZIFTI initiation. The median time to onset was 15 days. Two patients experienced more than one differentiation syndrome event. Treatment was interrupted and resumed in 15 (13%) patients, while it was permanently discontinued in 2 (2%) patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Prior to starting treatment with KOMZIFTI, reduce the WBC counts to less than 25 x 10⁹/L. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, interrupt KOMZIFTI, initiate oral or intravenous corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg every 12 hours) for a minimum of 3 days with hemodynamic and laboratory monitoring. Resume treatment with KOMZIFTI at the same dose level when signs and symptoms improve and are Grade 2 or lower. Taper corticosteroids over a minimum of 3 days after adequate control or resolution of symptoms [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroid treatment.

QTc Interval Prolongation

KOMZIFTI can cause QT (QTc) interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. In the clinical trial, QTc interval prolongation was reported as an adverse reaction in 12% of 112 patients treated with KOMZIFTI at the recommended dosage for relapsed or refractory AML with an NPM1 mutation. QTc interval prolongation was Grade 3 in 8% of patients. The heart-rate corrected QT interval (using Fridericia’s method) (QTcF) was greater than 500 msec in 9% of patients, and the increase from baseline QTcF was greater than 60 msec in 12% of patients. KOMZIFTI dose reduction was required for 1% of patients due to QTc interval prolongation [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. QTc prolongation occurred in 14% of the 42 patients less than 65 years of age and in 10% of the 70 patients 65 years of age or older.

Correct electrolyte abnormalities, including hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment with KOMZIFTI. Perform an ECG prior to initiation of treatment with KOMZIFTI, and do not initiate KOMZIFTI in patients with QTcF > 480 msec. Perform an ECG at least once weekly for the first four weeks on treatment, and at least monthly thereafter. Interrupt KOMZIFTI if the QTc interval is > 500 ms or the change from baseline is > 60 ms (Grade 3) [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. In patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those who are taking medications known to prolong the QTc interval, more frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary.

Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with drugs known to prolong the QTc interval may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation [see Drug Interactions (7.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, KOMZIFTI can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of ziftomenib to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality, structural abnormalities, and altered fetal growth at approximately 0.3 times the steady-state clinical exposure based on the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) at the recommended human dose.

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with KOMZIFTI and for 6 months after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with KOMZIFTI and for 3 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with ziftomenib. In a repeat dose toxicity study in mice treated with ziftomenib for 13 weeks, lymphoma was observed in multiple organs in one animal.

Ziftomenib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay and was not genotoxic in an in vitro micronucleus assay or in an in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay.

Fertility studies in animals have not been conducted with ziftomenib. In a repeat dose, 13-week toxicity study in dogs treated with twice daily oral administration of ziftomenib at 6, 20, or 60 mg/kg/day, changes were reported in male and female reproductive organs, including decreased mean testis weight, increased vacuolation of the seminiferous tubular epithelial cells, marked decrease in sperm in the epididymal lumen at ≥ 20 mg/kg/day, and fewer developing follicles in the ovaries at ≥ 60 mg/kg/day. At the dose of 20 mg/kg/day in dogs, exposures (AUC) were as low as 0.3 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose. At the dose of 60 mg/kg/day, exposures were as low as 1.2 times the human exposure at the recommended dose. Reversibility was not assessed at 20 mg/kg/day and findings were not reversible at 60 mg/kg/day after the 4-week recovery period.

Patient Information for Komzifti

Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide).

Differentiation Syndrome

Advise patients of the risk of developing differentiation syndrome as early as 3 days after the start of therapy and during treatment. Instruct patients to immediately report any symptoms suggestive of differentiation syndrome, such as fever, joint or bone pain, dizziness, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, cough, chest pain, rapid weight gain, rash, decreased urinary output, or swelling in the hands, feet, ankles, or legs, to their healthcare provider for further evaluation [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Prolonged QT Interval

Advise patients to consult their healthcare provider immediately if they feel faint, lose consciousness, or have signs or symptoms suggestive of arrhythmia. Advise patients with a history of hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia of the importance of monitoring their electrolytes [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to notify their healthcare provider of a known or suspected pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3), Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with KOMZIFTI and for 6 months after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with KOMZIFTI and for 3 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3)].

Lactation

Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with KOMZIFTI and for 2 weeks after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].

Drug Interactions

Advise patients to inform their healthcare providers of all concomitant medications, including over-the- counter medications and supplements [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

Dosing Instructions
  • Advise patients to take KOMZIFTI once daily, at around the same time each day, on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal [see Dosage and Administration (3)].
  • Advise patients to swallow KOMZIFTI capsules whole. Do not open, break, or chew the capsules [see Dosage and Administration (3)].
  • Instruct patients, if they miss a dose of KOMZIFTI, to take the dose as soon as possible on the same day and at least 12 hours prior to the next scheduled dose and return to the normal schedule the following day. Advise patients not to take 2 doses within 12 hours to make up for the missed dose [see Dosage and Administration (3)].

Clinical Pharmacology for Komzifti

Mechanism Of Action

Ziftomenib is a menin inhibitor that blocks the interaction of menin and lysine [K]-specific methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A).

Acute leukemias can be driven by mutations in NPM1 that recruit the wild-type menin-KMT2A complex to promoters of leukemogenic genes. Susceptible NPM1 mutations are defined as those that result in loss of the nucleolar localization signal and the insertion of a new nuclear export signal leading to cytoplasmic accumulation of mutant NPM1 protein that disrupts normal cell function and drives leukemogenesis through altered gene expression.

Pharmacologic disruption of the menin-KMT2A protein-protein interaction by ziftomenib blocks oncogenic activity of mutant NPM1, which induces differentiation of leukemic cells as evidenced by increased expression of differentiation markers. In nonclinical studies, ziftomenib demonstrated in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity in models of NPM1-mutant leukemia.

Pharmacodynamics

Ziftomenib exposure-response relationships have not been fully characterized and the time course of pharmacodynamic response is unknown.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

The effect of KOMZIFTI on the QTc interval was evaluated at 600 mg (the approved recommended dosage) in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia in KO-MEN-001 (n=133).

The increase in the QTc interval was concentration-dependent with the largest mean increase in QTc interval predicted to be 7.7 ms (upper confidence interval = 12.6 ms) after administration of ziftomenib 600 mg once daily. There were 9 subjects (7%) with QTcF > 500 ms and an increase in QTc > 60 ms over baseline [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Pharmacokinetics

Ziftomenib pharmacokinetics were characterized in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. Pharmacokinetic parameters are presented as mean (% CV), unless otherwise specified.

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of ziftomenib were observed based on age (18 to 86 years), sex, race, ethnicity, mild (bilirubin less than or equal to ULN and AST greater than ULN or bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN) or moderate (bilirubin 1.5 to 3 x ULN) hepatic impairment, or mild to moderate (CLCr 30 to 89 mL/min) renal impairment.

The effects of severe hepatic impairment (bilirubin greater than 3 x ULN) or severe renal impairment (CLCr less than 30 mL/min) on ziftomenib pharmacokinetics have not been studied.

Drug Interaction Studies

Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches

Gastric Acid Reducing Agents: Administration of PPIs reduced ziftomenib AUC0-inf by 53% and Cmax by 70%.

Strong, Moderate, or Weak CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitors) are estimated to increase ziftomenib AUC by up to 3-fold and Cmax by up to 2-fold.

Erythromycin, fluconazole, and isavuconazole (moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors) are estimated to increase ziftomenib AUC by up to 2-fold and Cmax by up to 2-fold.

Cimetidine (weak CYP3A inhibitor) is estimated to increase ziftomenib AUC and Cmax by up to 1.4-fold.

Strong, Moderate, or Weak CYP3A4 Inducers: Rifampin (strong CYP3A4 inducer) is estimated to decrease ziftomenib AUC by up to 80% and Cmax by up to 70%.

Efavirenz (moderate CYP3A4 inducer) is estimated to decrease ziftomenib AUC and Cmax by up to 70%.

Dexamethasone (weak CYP3A4 inducer) is estimated to decrease ziftomenib AUC and Cmax by up to

40%.

CYP3A4 Substrates: Ziftomenib is predicted to increase the AUC and Cmax of midazolam (CYP3A4 substrate) up to 1.9- and 1.4-fold, respectively, when ziftomenib is administered alone.

Other Drugs: Ziftomenib is not predicted to have clinically significant effects on the exposure of repaglinide (CYP2C8 substrate), (S)-warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate), omeprazole (CYP2C19 substrate), and raltegravir (UGT1A1 substrate).

In Vitro Studies

Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) Enzymes: Ziftomenib does not inhibit CYP1A2 or CYP2D6. Ziftomenib induces CYP1A2 but not CYP2B6 or CYP3A4.

UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase (UGT): Ziftomenib inhibits UGT1A9 and UGT2B17.

Transporter Systems: Ziftomenib is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP, but not BSEP or MRP. Ziftomenib does not inhibit P-gp, BCRP, OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1, MATE2-K, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, BSEP, or MRP2.

Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology

In 13-week repeat-dose toxicity studies in mice and dogs, incidences of hyperplasia in a variety of organs occurred in several animals from both species. The findings in the mouse study were observed at ≥ 12 mg/kg/day at exposures as low as 0.3 times the AUC at the recommended dose, and the findings in the dog study were observed at ≥ 6 mg/kg/day at exposures as low as 0.05 times the AUC at the recommended dose.
