Koselugo: The FIRST and ONLY FDA-approved treatment proven to shrink NF1 PN in pediatric patients1,2

(95% CI: 51,79)

Graphic showing that 66% of patients achieved 20% of greater reduction in PN volume (95% CI: 51, 79)

ORR was defined as the percentage of patients with complete response (defined as disappearance of the target PN) or confirmed partial response (defined as ≥20% reduction in PN volume confirmed at a subsequent tumor assessment within 3-6 months).1†

An independent centralized review (ICR) of tumor response per REiNS criteria resulted in an ORR of 44% (95% CI: 30, 59).1

*DCO June 2018.1

33 partial responses were confirmed by 3D MRI volumetric analyses at a subsequent tumor assessment within 3 to 6 months. The ORR assessment was conducted by a single NCI reviewer who was a SPRINT investigator and who evaluated all PN imaging from patients enrolled at all trial sites.1

IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Cardiomyopathy. A decrease in left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥10% below baseline occurred in pediatric
patients who received Koselugo in SPRINT with some experiencing decreased LVEF below the institutional lower limit of normal
(LLN), including one patient with Grade 3. All patients with decreased LVEF were asymptomatic and identified during routine echocardiography. The safety of Koselugo has not been established in patients with a history of impaired LVEF or a baseline ejection fraction that is below the institutional LLN. Assess ejection fraction by echocardiogram prior to initiating treatment, every 3 months during the first year of treatment, every 6 months thereafter, and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue Koselugo based on severity of adverse reaction. In patients who interrupt Koselugo for decreased LVEF, obtain an echocardiogram or a cardiac MRI every 3 to 6 weeks. Upon resolution of decreased LVEF, obtain an echocardiogram or a cardiac MRI every 2 to 3 months.

Ocular Toxicity. Blurred vision, photophobia, cataracts, and ocular hypertension
occurred. Retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) occurred in the pediatric population during treatment with single agent Koselugo and resulted in permanent discontinuation. Conduct ophthalmic assessments prior to initiating Koselugo, at regular intervals during treatment, and for new or worsening visual changes. Permanently discontinue Koselugo in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Withhold Koselugo in patients with RPED, conduct ophthalmic assessments every 3 weeks until resolution, and resume Koselugo at a reduced dose.

Gastrointestinal Toxicity. Diarrhea
occurred, including Grade 3. Diarrhea resulting in permanent discontinuation, dose interruption or dose reduction occurred. Advise patients to start an anti-diarrheal agent (eg, loperamide) and to increase fluid intake immediately after the first episode of diarrhea. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue Koselugo based on severity of adverse reaction.

Skin Toxicity. Rash occurred in 91% of 74 pediatric patients. The most frequent rashes included dermatitis acneiform (54%), maculopapular rash (39%), and eczema (28%). Grade 3 rash occurred, in addition to rash resulting in dose interruption or dose reduction. Monitor for severe skin rashes. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue Koselugo based on severity of adverse reaction.

Increased Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK). Increased CPK occurred, including Grade 3 or 4 resulting in dose reduction. Increased CPK concurrent with myalgia occurred, including one patient who permanently discontinued Koselugo for myalgia. Obtain serum CPK prior to initiating Koselugo, periodically during treatment, and as clinically indicated. If increased CPK occurs, evaluate for rhabdomyolysis or other causes. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue Koselugo based on severity of adverse reaction.

Increased Levels of Vitamin E and Risk of Bleeding. Koselugo capsules contain
vitamin E which can inhibit platelet aggregation and antagonize vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. Supplemental vitamin E is not recommended if daily vitamin E intake (including the amount of vitamin E in Koselugo and supplement) will exceed the recommended or safe limits due to increased risk of bleeding. An increased risk of bleeding may occur in patients who are coadministered vitamin-K antagonists or anti-platelet antagonists with Koselugo. Monitor for bleeding in these patients and increase international normalized ratio (INR) in patients taking a vitamin-K antagonist. Perform anticoagulant assessments more frequently and adjust the dose of vitamin K antagonists or anti-platelet agents as appropriate.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity. Based on findings
from animal studies, Koselugo can cause fetal harm when administered during pregnancy. In animal studies, administration of selumetinib to mice during organogenesis caused reduced fetal weight, adverse structural defects, and effects on embryo-fetal survival at approximate exposures >5 times the human exposure at the clinical dose of 25 mg/m2 twice daily. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment with Koselugo and for 1 week after the last dose.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Common adverse reactions ≥40% include vomiting, rash (all), abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, dry skin, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, pyrexia, acneiform rash, stomatitis, headache, paronychia, and pruritus.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Effect of Other Drugs on Koselugo

Concomitant use of Koselugo with a strong
or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor or
fluconazole
increased selumetinib plasma concentrations, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Avoid coadministration with Koselugo. If coadministration cannot be avoided, reduce Koselugo dosage.

Concomitant use of Koselugo with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer decreased selumetinib plasma concentrations, which may reduce Koselugo efficacy. Avoid concomitant use with Koselugo.

SPECIAL POPULATIONS

Pregnancy & Lactation. Verify the
pregnancy status of patients of reproductive potential prior to initiating Koselugo. Due to the potential for adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise patients not to breastfeed during treatment with Koselugo and for 1 week after the last dose.

INDICATION

KOSELUGO is indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN).
