Velsipity

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE VELSIPITY is indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) in adults. VELSIPITY is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adults. ( 1 )

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Assessments are required prior to initiating VELSIPITY. ( 2.1 ) • The recommended dosage is 2 mg orally once daily. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Assessments, Medications, and Vaccinations Prior to First Dose of VELSIPITY Before initiation of treatment with VELSIPITY, assess the following: Complete Blood Count Obtain a recent (i.e., within the last 6 months or after discontinuation of prior UC therapy) complete blood count (CBC), including lymphocyte count [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Cardiac Evaluation Obtain an electrocardiogram (ECG) to determine whether preexisting conduction abnormalities are present. In patients with certain preexisting conditions, advice from a cardiologist should be sought [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Liver Function Tests Obtain recent (i.e., within the last 6 months) transaminase and bilirubin levels [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. Ophthalmic Assessment Obtain a baseline evaluation of the fundus, including the macula, near the start of treatment with VELSIPITY [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ]. Skin Examination Obtain a skin examination prior to or shortly after initiation of VELSIPITY. If a suspicious skin lesion is observed, it should be promptly evaluated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] . Current or Prior Medications • Determine if patients are taking drugs that could slow heart rate or atrioventricular (AV) conduction [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Drug Interactions (7) ]. • If patients are taking anti-neoplastic, immune-modulating, or non-corticosteroid immunosuppressive therapies, or if there is a history of prior use of these drugs, consider possible unintended additive immunosuppressive effects before initiating treatment with VELSIPITY [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) and Drug Interactions (7) ]. Vaccinations Patients without a healthcare professional-confirmed history of varicella (chickenpox) or without documentation of a full course of vaccination against varicella zoster virus (VZV) should be tested for antibodies to VZV before initiating VELSIPITY; VZV vaccination of antibody-negative patients is recommended prior to commencing treatment with VELSIPITY. If live attenuated vaccine immunizations are required, administer at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of VELSIPITY. Update immunizations in agreement with current immunization guidelines prior to initiating VELSIPITY therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. 2.2 Recommended Dosage • The recommended dosage of VELSIPITY is 2 mg orally once daily. • Swallow the tablet whole, with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . • If a dose is missed, take the missed dose at the next scheduled time; do not double the next dose.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Infections : May increase the risk of infections. Obtain a complete blood count (CBC) before initiation of treatment. Monitor for infection during treatment and for 5 weeks after discontinuation. Consider interruption of treatment if a serious infection develops. Avoid use of live attenuated vaccines during and for up to 5 weeks after treatment. ( 5.1 ) • Bradyarrhythmia and Atrioventricular Conduction Delays : May result in a transient decrease in heart rate and AV conduction delays. Obtain an electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess for preexisting cardiac conduction abnormalities before starting treatment. Consider cardiology consultation for conduction abnormalities or concomitant use with other drugs that decrease heart rate. ( 2.1 , 5.2 , 7 ) • Liver Injury : Elevations of aminotransferases may occur. Obtain transaminase and bilirubin levels before initiating VELSIPITY. Discontinue if significant liver injury is confirmed. ( 2.1 , 5.3 ) • Macular Edema : May increase the risk of macular edema. Obtain a baseline evaluation of the fundus, including the macula, near the start of treatment with VELSIPITY. Periodically conduct an evaluation of the fundus, including the macula, while on therapy and any time there is a change in vision. Consider discontinuing VELSIPITY if macular edema develops. ( 2.1 , 5.4 ) • Increased Blood Pressure : Monitor blood pressure during treatment. ( 5.5 ) • Fetal Risk : May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for one week after stopping VELSIPITY. ( 5.6 , 8.3 ) • Cutaneous Malignancies : Obtain a skin examination prior to or shortly after the start of treatment and periodically during treatment, especially if risk factors. Promptly evaluate suspicious skin lesions. ( 2.1 , 5.7 ) • Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) : If symptoms develop, obtain a physical and neurological exam, and consider MRI. ( 5.8 ) • Respiratory Effects : May cause a decline in pulmonary function. Assess pulmonary function (e.g., spirometry) if clinically indicated. ( 5.9 ) • Unintended Additive Immune System Effects from Prior Treatment with Immunosuppressive or Immune-Modulating Drugs : Consider the half-life and mode of action of prior therapies. ( 5.10 ) • Immune System Effects After Stopping VELSIPITY : If using concomitant immunosuppressants, monitor patients for infectious complications for up to 5 weeks after the last dose of VELSIPITY. ( 5.11 ) 5.1 Infections Risk of Infections VELSIPITY causes a mean reduction in peripheral blood lymphocyte count to approximately 45% of baseline values at Week 52 because of reversible sequestration of lymphocytes in lymphoid tissues [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. VELSIPITY may, therefore, increase the susceptibility to infections. Life-threatening and rare fatal infections have been reported in association with other sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulators. Before initiating treatment, obtain a recent (i.e., within 6 months or after discontinuation of prior UC therapy) CBC, including lymphocyte count. Delay initiation of VELSIPITY in patients with an active infection until the infection is resolved. In UC-1, the overall rate of infections in subjects treated with VELSIPITY was 24.9% compared to 22.2% in subjects who received placebo. In pooled data from UC-2 and UC-3, the overall rate of infections in subjects treated with VELSIPITY was 14.0% compared to 11.8% in subjects who received placebo. The most common infections were urinary tract infections and herpes viral infections in UC-1, and urinary tract infections in UC-2 and UC-3 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . The proportion of subjects treated with VELSIPITY who experienced lymphocyte counts less than 0.2 x 10 9 /L was 5.5% in UC-1 and 0.6% in UC-2 and UC-3. These events did not lead to treatment discontinuation. Peripheral blood absolute lymphocyte counts returned…

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS VELSIPITY is contraindicated in patients who: • In the last 6 months, have experienced a myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization, or Class III or IV heart failure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . • Have a history or presence of Mobitz type II second-degree or third-degree AV block, sick sinus syndrome, or sino-atrial block, unless the patient has a functioning pacemaker [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . • In the last 6 months, experienced myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, stroke, transient ischemic attack, decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization, or Class III or IV heart failure.

( 4 , 5.2 )

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Etrasimod is primarily metabolized by CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4. Table 3 includes drugs with clinically important drug interactions when administered concomitantly with VELSIPITY and instructions for preventing or managing them. Consult the labeling of concomitantly used drugs to obtain further information. The effect of concomitant use of VELSIPITY with a combination of separate drugs that are moderate to strong inhibitors or inducers of either CYP2C8, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 is unknown. However, based on the information below, a similar clinically significant change in exposure cannot be ruled out when two or more metabolic pathways are affected. Table 3: Drugs That Affect VELSIPITY CYP-Mediated Metabolic Pathways Anti-Arrhythmic Drugs and QT Prolonging Drugs Clinical Impact A transient decrease in heart rate and AV conduction delays may occur when initiating VELSIPITY [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Because of the potential additive effect on heart rate, VELSIPITY may increase the risk of QT prolongation and Torsades de Pointes with concomitant use of Class Ia and Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs and QT prolonging drugs. Prevention or Management Seek the advice of a cardiologist before initiating VELSIPITY treatment with Class Ia (e.g., quinidine, procainamide), Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol), or other drugs that prolong the QT interval. Beta-Blockers or Calcium Channel Blockers Clinical Impact A transient decrease in heart rate and AV conduction delays may occur when initiating VELSIPITY [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Concomitant use of VELSIPITY in patients receiving stable beta blocker treatment did not result in additive effects on heart rate reduction [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . However, the risk of additive heart rate reduction following initiation of beta blocker therapy with stable VELSIPITY treatment or concomitant use with other drugs that may decrease heart rate is unknown. Prevention or Management VELSIPITY can be initiated in patients receiving stable doses of beta blocker treatment. Seek the advice of a cardiologist before initiating a beta blocker in a patient receiving stable VELSIPITY treatment or concomitant use with other drugs that may decrease heart rate (e.g., calcium channel blockers). Anti-Neoplastic, Immune-Modulating, or Non-Corticosteroid Immunosuppressive Therapies Clinical Impact Risk of additive immune system effects with VELSIPITY VELSIPITY has not been studied in combination with anti-neoplastic, immune-modulating, or non-corticosteroid immunosuppressive therapies. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant administration during and in the weeks following administration of VELSIPITY. When switching from drugs with prolonged immune effects, consider the half-life and mode of action of these drugs to avoid unintended additive immunosuppressive effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] . Moderate to Strong Inhibitors of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 Clinical Impact Increased exposure of etrasimod was observed with concomitant use with a drug that is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C9 and a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 (i.e., fluconazole) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management Concomitant use with a drug that is a moderate to strong inhibitor of CYP2C9 and a moderate to strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 is not recommended. CYP2C9 Poor Metabolizers Using Moderate to Strong Inhibitors of CYP2C8 or CYP3A4 Clinical Impact Increased exposure of etrasimod in patients who are CYP2C9 poor metabolizers is expected with concomitant use of moderate to strong inhibitors of CYP2C8 or CYP3A4 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3 , 12.5) ] . Prevention or Management Concomitant use not recommended. Rifampin Clinical Impact Concomitant use with a drug that is a combined CYP3A4 (strong), CYP2C8 (moderate) and CYP2C9 (moderate) inducer (i.e., rifampin) decreases exposure to etrasimod [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Managemen…

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in females exposed to VELSIPITY during pregnancy. Pregnant females exposed to VELSIPITY and healthcare providers are encouraged to contact the pregnancy registry by calling 1-800-616-3791. Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies, VELSIPITY may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Available data from reports of pregnancies from the clinical development program with VELSIPITY are insufficient to identify a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and the fetus associated with increased disease activity in women with inflammatory bowel disease during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ). In animal reproduction studies, administration of etrasimod during organogenesis produced adverse effects on development, including embryolethality and fetal malformations, in both rats and rabbits at maternal exposures 5 and 6 times, respectively, the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). Administration of VELSIPITY to pregnant rats during organogenesis through lactation resulted in decreased pup growth and viability at maternal exposures 5 times the exposure at the MRHD, as well as impaired reproductive performance in first generation offspring, including decreased implantations and increased pre-implantation loss at maternal exposures 24 times the exposure at the MRHD (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 U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data suggest that the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with inflammatory bowel disease is associated with increased disease activity. Adverse pregnancy outcomes include preterm delivery (before 37 weeks of gestation), low birth weight (less than 2500 g) infants, and small for gestational age at birth. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats, etrasimod was orally administered at 1, 2, or 4 mg/kg/day (5, 11, and 21 times the exposure at the MRHD of 2 mg, based on AUC comparison) during the period of organogenesis, from gestation day 6 to 17. No maternal toxicity was observed up to 21 times the exposure at the MRHD. Increased post-implantation loss with a corresponding decrease in the number of viable fetuses was observed at 4 mg/kg/day (21 times the exposure at the MRHD). Etrasimod-related fetal external and/or visceral malformations were noted at all dose levels (≥5 times the exposure at the MRHD). In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits, etrasimod was orally administered at 2, 10, or 20 mg/kg/day (0.8, 6, and 11 times the exposure at the MRHD of 2 mg, based on AUC comparison) during the period of organogenesis, from gestation day 7 to 20. Increased post-implantation loss with a corresponding decrease in the number of viable fetuses was observed at 10 and 20 mg/kg/day (6 and 11 times the exposure at the MRHD). Etrasimod-related fetal malformations including aortic arch defects and fused sternebrae were noted at 10 and/or 20 mg/kg/day (6 and 11 times the exposure at the MRHD). There were no adverse effects on embryofetal development at 2 mg/kg/day (less than the exposure at the MRHD). In a pre- and post-natal development study in rats, etrasimod was orally administered at 0.4, 2, or 4 mg/kg/day (2, 10, and 24 times the exposure at the MRHD of 2 mg, based on AUC comparison) throughout pregnancy and lactation, from gestation day 6 through lactation day 20. Mortality during delivery and impaired maternal performanc…

12.5 Pharmacogenomics CYP2C9 activity is decreased in individuals with genetic variants such as CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 alleles. The impact of CYP2C9 genetic variants on the pharmacokinetics of etrasimod has not been directly evaluated. CYP2C9 poor metabolizers (e.g., *2/*3, *3/*3) may have decreased clearance of etrasimod when VELSIPITY is used concomitantly with moderate to strong inhibitors of CYP2C8 or CYP3A4 [see Drug Interactions (7) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ] . CYP2C9 intermediate metabolizers (e.g., *1/*2, *1/*3, *2/*2) may have decreased clearance of etrasimod when VELSIPITY is used concomitantly with moderate to strong inhibitors of CYP2C8 or CYP3A4; however, the effect on VELSIPITY exposure in CYP2C9 intermediate metabolizers with concomitant CYP2C8 or CYP3A4 inhibitors is not known. The prevalence of the CYP2C9 poor metabolizer phenotype is approximately 2 to 3% in White populations, 0.5 to 4% in Asian populations, and <1% in African-American populations. Other decreased or nonfunctional CYP2C9 alleles (e.g., *5, *6, *8, *11) are more prevalent in African-American populations.

The safety of VELSIPITY 2 mg once daily in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis was evaluated in two randomized, placebo-controlled studies of 52 weeks (UC-1) and 12 weeks (UC-2) duration [see Clinical Studies (14) ]. Additional safety data were obtained from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-finding study of 12 weeks duration (UC-3). In the 52-week study (UC-1), 433 subjects were enrolled of whom 289 received VELSIPITY 2 mg once daily. In the 12-week studies (UC-2 and UC-3), 458 subjects were enrolled of whom 288 received VELSIPITY 2 mg once daily.
