( 1 ) Limitations of Use : NINLARO is not recommended for use in the maintenance setting or in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone outside of controlled clinical trials. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use : NINLARO is not recommended for use in the maintenance setting or in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone outside of controlled clinical trials [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) and Clinical Studies (14.2 , 14.3) ] .

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended starting dose of 4 mg taken orally on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. ( 2.1 ) Dose should be taken at least one hour before or at least two hours after food. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Dosing and Administration Guidelines NINLARO in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone The recommended starting dose of NINLARO is 4 mg administered orally once a week on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day treatment cycle. The recommended starting dose of lenalidomide is 25 mg administered daily on Days 1 through 21 of a 28-day treatment cycle. The recommended starting dose of dexamethasone is 40 mg administered on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a 28-day treatment cycle. Table 1: Dosing Schedule for NINLARO taken with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone ✔ Take medicine 28-Day Cycle (a 4-week cycle) Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Day 1 Days 2-7 Day 8 Days 9-14 Day 15 Days 16-21 Day 22 Days 23-28 NINLARO ✔ ✔ ✔ Lenalidomide ✔ ✔ Daily ✔ ✔ Daily ✔ ✔ Daily Dexamethasone ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ For additional information regarding lenalidomide and dexamethasone, refer to their prescribing information. NINLARO should be taken once a week on the same day and at approximately the same time for the first three weeks of a four week cycle. The importance of carefully following all dosage instructions should be discussed with patients starting treatment. Instruct patients to take the recommended dosage as directed, because overdosage has led to deaths [see Overdosage (10) ] . NINLARO should be taken at least one hour before or at least two hours after food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . The whole capsule should be swallowed with water. The capsule should not be crushed, chewed or opened [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16) ] . If a NINLARO dose is delayed or missed, the dose should be taken only if the next scheduled dose is ≥72 hours away. A missed dose should not be taken within 72 hours of the next scheduled dose. A double dose should not be taken to make up for the missed dose. If vomiting occurs after taking a dose, the patient should not repeat the dose. The patient should resume dosing at the time of the next scheduled dose. Prior to initiating a new cycle of therapy: Absolute neutrophil count should be at least 1,000/mm 3 Platelet count should be at least 75,000/mm 3 Non-hematologic toxicities should, at the healthcare provider's discretion, generally be recovered to patient's baseline condition or Grade 1 or lower Treatment should be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Concomitant Medications Consider antiviral prophylaxis in patients being treated with NINLARO to decrease the risk of herpes zoster reactivation [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 2.2 Dosage Modification Guidelines The NINLARO dose reduction steps are presented in Table 2 and the dosage modification guidelines are provided in Table 3. Table 2: NINLARO Dose Reductions due to Adverse Reactions Recommended starting dose Recommended starting dose of 3 mg in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment, severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis [see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.4) ] . First reduction to Second reduction to Discontinue 4 mg 3 mg 2.3 mg An alternating dose modification approach is recommended for NINLARO and lenalidomide for thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and rash as described in Table 3. Refer to the lenalidomide prescribing information if dose reduction is needed for lenalidomide. Table 3: Dosage Modifications Guidelines for NINLARO in Combination with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone Hematological Toxicities Recommended Actions Thrombocytopenia (Platelet Count) Platelet count less than 30,000/mm 3 Withhold NINLARO and lenalidomide until platelet count is at least 30,000/mm 3 . Following recovery, resume lenalidomide at the next lower dose according to its prescribing information and resume NINLARO at its most recent dose. If platelet count falls to less than 30,000/mm 3 again, withhold NINLARO…

( 5.7 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : NINLARO can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective non-hormonal contraception. ( 5.8 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Increased Mortality in Patients Treated with NINLARO in the Maintenance Setting : Treatment of patients with NINLARO for multiple myeloma in the maintenance setting is not recommended outside of controlled trials. ( 5.9 ) 5.1 Thrombocytopenia Thrombocytopenia has been reported with NINLARO with platelet nadirs typically occurring between Days 14-21 of each 28-day cycle and recovery to baseline by the start of the next cycle [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Grade 3 thrombocytopenia was reported in 17% of patients in the NINLARO regimen and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia was reported in 13% in the NINLARO regimen. The rate of platelet transfusions was 10% in the NINLARO regimen and 7% in the placebo regimen. Monitor platelet counts at least monthly during treatment with NINLARO. Consider more frequent monitoring during the first three cycles. Manage thrombocytopenia with dose modifications [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] and platelet transfusions as per standard medical guidelines. 5.2 Gastrointestinal Toxicities Diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and vomiting have been reported with NINLARO, occasionally requiring use of antidiarrheal and antiemetic medications, and supportive care. Diarrhea was reported in 52% of patients in the NINLARO regimen and 43% in the placebo regimen, constipation in 35% and 28%, respectively, nausea in 32% and 23%, respectively, and vomiting in 26% and 13%, respectively. Diarrhea resulted in discontinuation of one or more of the three drugs in 3% of patients in the NINLARO regimen and 2% of patients in the placebo regimen [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Adjust dosing for Grade 3 or 4 symptoms [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . 5.3 Peripheral Neuropathy The majority of peripheral neuropathy adverse reactions were Grade 1 (18% in the NINLARO regimen and 16% in the placebo regimen) and Grade 2 (11% in the NINLARO regimen and 6% in the placebo regimen) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Grade 3 adverse reactions of peripheral neuropathy were reported at 2% in both regimens. The most commonly reported reaction was peripheral sensory neuropathy (24% and 17% in the NINLARO and placebo regimen, respectively). Peripheral motor neuropathy was not commonly reported in either regimen (<1%). Peripheral neuropathy resulted in discontinuation of one or more of the three drugs in 4% of patients in the NINLARO regimen and <1% of patients in the placebo regimen. Patients should be monitored for symptoms of neuropathy. Patients experiencing new or worsening peripheral neuropathy may require dose modification [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . 5.4 Peripheral Edema Peripheral edema was reported in 27% and 21% of patients in the NINLARO and placebo regimens, respectively. The majority of peripheral edema adverse reactions were Grade 1 (17% in the NINLARO regimen and 14% in the placebo regimen) and Grade 2 (7% in the NINLARO regimen and 6% in the placebo regimen). Grade 3 peripheral edema was reported in 2% and 1% of patients in the NINLARO and placebo regimens,…

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A inducers : Avoid concomitant use with NINLARO. ( 7.1 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Strong CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant administration of NINLARO with strong CYP3A inducers (such as rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and St. John's Wort) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] and data from animal reproduction studies, NINLARO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on NINLARO use in pregnant women to evaluate drug-associated risk. Ixazomib caused embryo-fetal toxicity in pregnant rats and rabbits at doses resulting in exposures that were slightly higher than those observed in patients receiving the recommended dose (see Data ) . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. 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. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits there were increases in fetal skeletal variations/abnormalities (fused caudal vertebrae, number of lumbar vertebrae, and full supernumerary ribs) at doses that were also maternally toxic (≥0.3 mg/kg). Exposures in the rabbit at 0.3 mg/kg were 1.9 times the clinical time averaged exposures at the recommended dose of 4 mg. In a rat dose range-finding embryo-fetal development study, at doses that were maternally toxic, there were decreases in fetal weights, a trend towards decreased fetal viability, and increased post-implantation losses at 0.6 mg/kg. Exposures in rats at the dose of 0.6 mg/kg was 2.5 times the clinical time averaged exposures at the recommended dose of 4 mg.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are described in detail in other sections of the prescribing information: Thrombocytopenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Gastrointestinal Toxicities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Peripheral Neuropathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Peripheral Edema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Cutaneous Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Thrombotic Microangiopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) are thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, diarrhea, constipation, peripheral neuropathy, nausea, peripheral edema, rash, vomiting, and bronchitis.

The safety population from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study included 720 patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma, who received NINLARO in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (NINLARO regimen; N=361) or placebo in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (placebo regimen; N=359). The most frequently reported adverse reactions (≥20% with a difference of ≥5% compared to placebo) in the NINLARO regimen were thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, diarrhea, constipation, peripheral neuropathy, nausea, peripheral edema, rash, vomiting, and bronchitis. Serious adverse reactions reported in ≥2% of patients in the NINLARO regimen included diarrhea (3%), thrombocytopenia (2%) and bronchitis (2%). One or more of the three drugs was permanently discontinued in 4% of patients reporting peripheral neuropathy, 3% of patients reporting diarrhea and 2% of patients reporting thrombocytopenia. Permanent discontinuation of NINLARO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 10% of patients. Table 4 summarizes the non-hematologic adverse reactions occurring in at least 5% of patients with at least a 5% difference between the NINLARO regimen and the placebo regimen.
