                Pregnancy

                Based on findings from animal studies, fetal harm may cause when administered to pregnant females

                No data are available on use in pregnant females to evaluate for a drug-associated risk

                Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential before initiating

                Contraception

                • Females of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after last dose

                Animal data

                • Doses ≥375 mg/kg BID caused decreased fetal body weights and increased incidence of malformations and variations in urinary tract (including absent or abnormal ureters and kidneys), reproductive tract (mispositioned ovaries and misshapen uterus), and bone (misshapen sternebrae)
                • At 500 mg/kg BID, total resorption observed
                • At 375 mg/kg BID in rats, maternal systemic exposures (AUC) were ~3 times the human exposure at 200 mg qDay
                • Advise pregnant females of potential risk to a fetus

                Lactation

                There are no data on drug presence in human milk or the effects on breastfed children or milk production

                Advise females not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 week after last dose

                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.

                Pharmacology

                Mechanism of Action

                Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor

                In B-cells, BTK signaling results in activation of pathways necessary for B-cell proliferation, trafficking, chemotaxis, and adhesion

                Pirtobrutinib binds to wild-type BTK and BTK harboring the C481 mutation, ultimately inhibiting BTK kinase activity

                Absorption

                Peak plasma concentration (Cmax): 3,670 ng/mL (Cycle 1 Day 8); 6,460 ng/mL (steady-state)

                Median peak plasma time (tmax): 2 hr

                AUC: 81,800 h⋅ng/mL (Cycle 1 Day 8); 91,300 h⋅ng/mL (steady-state)

                Steady-state achieved at 5 days

                Accumulation ratio: 1.63

                Bioavailability: 85.5%

                Effects of food

                • High-fat meal: Decreased Cmax by 23% and delayed tmax by 1 hr

                Distribution

                Vd: 32.8 L

                Protein bound: 96%

                Mean blood-to-plasma ratio: 0.79

                Metabolism

                Primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and direct glucuronidation by UGT1A8 and UGT1A9

                Elimination

                Half-life: ~19 hr

                Clearance: 2.02 L/hr

                Excretion: Feces (37% [18% unchanged]); urine (57% [10% unchanged]
