Warnings
Black Box Warnings
Can increase risk for depression and suicidality in patients with Huntington disease; when prescribing, consider this risk with the clinical need for chorea treatment
Closely monitor for emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior
Inform patients, caregivers, and families of the risk of depression and suicidality; instruct them to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician
Particular caution is needed with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation, which are increased in frequency in Huntington disease
Deutetrabenazine is contraindicated in patients who are suicidal, and in patients with untreated or inadequately treated depression
Contraindications
Patients with Huntington disease who are suicidal, or in patients with untreated or inadequately treated depression
Hepatic impairment
Coadministration with MAOIs, reserpine, tetrabenazine, or valbenazine
Cautions
May increase the risk of akathisia, agitation, and restlessness in patients with Huntington’s disease and tardive dyskinesia; monitor for signs and symptoms of restlessness and agitation, as these may be indicators of developing akathisia; if a patient develops akathisia during treatment, reduce the dose; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy
Sedation/somnolence reported; may impair patient’s ability to drive or operate complex machinery; patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness to maintain safety of themselves or others, such as operating a motor vehicle or operating hazardous machinery, until they are on a maintenance dose and know how the drug affects them
Binding of melanin-containing tissues
- Since deutetrabenazine or its metabolites bind to melanin-containing tissues, it could accumulate in these tissues over time; this raises the possibility of accumulating and causing toxicity in these tissues after extended use
- Neither ophthalmologic nor microscopic examination of the eye has been conducted in the chronic toxicity studies in a pigmented species such as dogs; ophthalmologic monitoring in humans was inadequate to exclude the possibility of injury occurring after long-term exposure
- The clinical relevance of deutetrabenazine’s binding to melanin-containing tissues is unknown; although there are no specific recommendations for periodic ophthalmologic monitoring, prescribers should be aware of the possibility of long-term ophthalmologic effects
Hyperprolactinemia
- Serum prolactin levels not evaluated in response to this drug; tetrabenazine, a closely related VMAT2 inhibitor, elevates serum prolactin concentrations in humans; tissue culture experiments indicate that approximately one-third of human breast cancers are prolactin-dependent in vitro, a factor of potential importance if this drug is being considered for a patient with previously detected breast cancer
- Although amenorrhea, galactorrhea, gynecomastia, and impotence can be caused by elevated serum prolactin concentrations, the clinical significance of elevated serum prolactin concentrations for most patients is unknown; chronic increase in serum prolactin levels (although not evaluated) has been associated with low levels of estrogen and increased risk of osteoporosis; if there is a clinical suspicion of symptomatic hyperprolactinemia, appropriate laboratory testing should be done and consideration should be given to discontinuation of therapy
QTc prolongation
- Therapy may prolong the QT interval, but the degree of QT prolongation is not clinically significant when administered within recommended dosage range; therapy should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients with history of cardiac arrhythmias
- Certain circumstances may increase risk of occurrence of torsade de pointes and/or sudden death in association with use of drugs that prolong QTc interval, including bradycardia, hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, concomitant use of other drugs that prolong QTc interval, and presence of congenital prolongation of the QT interval
Clinical worsening and adverse effects in patients with Huntington disease
- Huntington disease is a progressive disorder characterized by changes in mood, cognition, chorea, rigidity, and functional capacity over time; VMAT2 inhibitors may cause a worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, and functional capacity
- Prescribers should periodically re-evaluate the need for therapy in their patients by assessing effect on chorea and possible adverse effects, including sedation/somnolence, depression and suicidality, parkinsonism, akathisia, restlessness, and cognitive decline
- It may be difficult to distinguish between adverse reactions and progression of the underlying disease; decreasing the dose or stopping the drug may help the clinician to distinguish between the two possibilities; in some patients, the underlying chorea itself may improve over time, decreasing the need for therapy
Patients with Huntington disease
- Patients with Huntington disease are at increased risk for depression, and suicidal ideation or behaviors (suicidality); therapy may increase risk for suicidality in patients with Huntington disease (see Black Box Warnings and Contraindications)
- When considering use of this drug, the risk of suicidality should be balanced against need for treatment of chorea; all patients treated should be observed for new or worsening depression or suicidality; if depression or suicidality does not resolve, consider discontinuing treatment
- Patients, their caregivers, and families should be informed of risks of depression, worsening depression, and suicidality associated with this drug, and should be instructed to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician; patients with Huntington’s disease whoexpress suicidal ideation should be evaluated immediately
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)
- Reported with drugs that reduce dopaminergic transmission; while not observed with deutetrabenazine, it has been reported with tetrabenazine
- Diagnosis of NMS can be complicated; other serious medical illnesses (eg, pneumonia, systemic infection) and untreated or inadequately treated extrapyramidal disorders can present with similar signs and symptoms; other important considerations in the differential diagnosis include central anticholinergic toxicity, heat stroke, drug fever, and primary central nervous system pathology
- Monitor for manifestations of NMS (eg, hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status, autonomic instability, increased creatinine phosphokinase, myoglobinuria, rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure)
- Manage NMS by immediately discontinuing the drug and intensively treating symptoms and any concomitant serious medical problems; there is no general agreement about specific pharmacological treatment regimens for NMS
- Recurrence of NMS has been reported with resumption of drug therapy; if treatment with drug needed after recovery from NMS, patients should be monitored for signs of recurrence;
Parkinsonism
- May cause parkinsonism in patients with Huntington’s disease or tardive dyskinesia
- Drug-induced parkinsonism has the potential to cause more functional disability than untreated chorea for some patients with Huntington disease
- Parkinsonism has been observed with other VMAT2 inhibitors
- Difficult to distinguish between potential drug-induced parkinsonism and progression of underlying Huntington’s disease
- Parkinsonism in patients treated with drug for tardive dyskinesia reported; symptoms have included bradykinesia, gait disturbances, which led to falls in some cases, and the emergence or worsening of tremor
- In most cases, parkinsonism occurred within first two weeks after starting or increasing dose
- Parkinsonism was reported to resolve following discontinuation of therapy
- If parkinsonism develops during treatment, dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy
Drug interaction overview
- Coadministration with dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics may increase risk for parkinsonism, NMS, and akathisia
- Coadministration with alcohol and other sedating drugs may worsen somnolence associated with deutetrabenazine
-
Strong CYP2D6 inhibitors
- Deutetrabenazine is extensively biotransformed to its major active dihydro-metabolites, alpha and beta-HTBZ, which are subsequently metabolized primarily by CYP2D6
- Dose reduction of deutetrabenazine may be necessary when adding a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor in patients maintained on a stable dose
- Systemic exposure of the active dihydro-metabolites is increased ~3-fold when coadministered with strong CYP2D6 inhibitors (eg, paroxetine, fluoxetine, quinidine, bupropion)
- Do not exceed 36 mg/day or a single dose of 18 mg if coadministered with a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor
-
Contraindicated drug combinations
- Coadministration with MAOIs is contraindicated; deutetrabenazine should not be used in combination with an MAOI or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOI
- Reserpine binds irreversibly to VMAT2; duration of its effect is several days; prescribers should wait for chorea or dyskinesia to reemerge before administering therapy to help reduce risk of overdosage and major depletion of serotonin and norepinephrine in central nervous system; at least 20 days should elapse after stopping reserpine before starting deutetrabenazine; reserpine should not be used concomitantly
- Therapy is contraindicated in patients currently taking tetrabenazine or valbenazine (see dosing information on how to switch from tetrabenazine); deutetrabenazine may be initiated the day following discontinuation of tetrabenazine
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
There are no adequate data on the developmental risk in pregnant women
Animal studies
- Administration of deutetrabenazine to rats during organogenesis produced no clear adverse effect on embryofetal development
- However, administration of tetrabenazine to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in an increase in stillbirths and postnatal offspring mortality
Lactation
There are no data on presence of deutetrabenazine or metabolites in human milk, effects on breastfed infants, or milk production
Consider the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother’s clinical need for the drug, and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Oral vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT-2) inhibitor; decreases uptake of monoamines (eg, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, histamine) into synaptic vesicles and depletes monoamine stores from nerve terminals
The precise mechanism by which deutetrabenazine exerts its antichorea effects is unknown, but is believed to be related to its effect on reversible depletion of monoamines from nerve terminals
Absorption
Bioavailability: 80%
Plasma concentrations of deutetrabenazine are generally below the limit of detection because of the extensive hepatic metabolism
Peak plasma time (active metabolites): 3-4 hr
Distribution
Vd: 500 L (alpha-HTBZ); 730 L (beta-HTBZ)
Binds to melanin-containing tissues (eg, skin, eyes)
Following IV administration of tetrabenazine: Rapidly distributed to the brain, with the highest binding in the striatum and the lowest in the cortex
Protein bound
- Tetrabenazine: 82-85%
- Alpha-HTBZ: 60-68%
- Beta-HTBZ: 59-63%
Metabolism
Deutetrabenazine is extensively biotransformed, mainly by carbonyl reductase, to its major active metabolites alpha-HTBZ and betaHTBZ, which are subsequently metabolized primarily by CYP2D6, with minor contributions of CYP1A2 and CYP3A4/5, to form several minor metabolites
Elimination
Half-life (active metabolites): 9-10 hr
Clearance: 47 L/hr (alpha-HTBZ); 70 L/hr (beta-HTBZ)
Excretion: 75-86% urine; 8-11% feces
Pharmacogenomics
CYP2D6 poor metabolizers
- Although the pharmacokinetics of deutetrabenazine and its metabolites have not been systematically evaluated in patients who do not express the drug metabolizing enzyme, it is likely that the exposure to alpha and beta-HTBZ would be increased similarly to taking a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor (~3-fold)
- Decrease deutetrabenazine dose if administered in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers
- Also see Cautions and Dosage Modification
