Reinitiation after treatment interruption

  • After completing initial titration, if maintenance treatment is interrupted for 4 or more consecutive daily doses, reinitiate treatment with Day 1 of the titration regimen
  • Also complete first-dose monitoring in patients for whom it is recommended

Dosage Modifications

Renal impairment

  • No dosage adjustment necessary
  • End-stage renal disease or patients on hemodialysis: Not studied; owing to high plasma protein binding (>99.9%) of siponimod, hemodialysis is not expected to alter the total and unbound siponimod concentration and no dose adjustments are anticipated based on these considerations

Hepatic impairment

  • No dosage adjustment necessary
  • Increased unbound siponimod AUC observed with moderate and severe hepatic impairment is not expected to be clinically significant

Dosing Considerations

Before initiating treatment

  • Test for CYP2C9 variants to determine CYP2C9 genotype; an FDA-cleared or FDA-approved test for detecting CYP2C9 variants to direct the use of siponimod is not currently available
  • Test for antibodies to varicella-zoster virus (VZV); VZV vaccination of antibody-negative patients is recommended prior to commencing treatment
  • Determine whether patients are taking drugs that could slow heart rate or atrioventricular (AV) conduction
  • If patients are taking or have a history of taking antineoplastic, immunosuppressive, or immune-modulating therapies, consider possible unintended additive immunosuppressive effects before initiating treatment
  • Ophthalmic examination, including evaluation of the fundus, including the macula
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Recent CBC count
  • Recent (eg, within last 6 months) transaminase and bilirubin levels
  • If varicella zoster virus (VZV) antibody-negative, administer full course VZV vaccine and postpone siponimod initiation for 4 week to allow full vaccine efficacy

First-dose monitoring in patients with certain preexisting cardiac conditions

  • Because initiating treatment results in a decrease in heart rate (HR), recommend first-dose 6-hr monitoring for patients with sinus bradycardia (HR <55 bpm), first- or second-degree (Mobitz type I) AV block, or a history of myocardial infarction or heart failure
  • If any of the following abnormalities are present after 6 hr (even in the absence of symptoms):
    • HR 6 hr postdose <45 bpm or is at the lowest value postdose
    • ECG 6 hr postdose shows new-onset second-degree or higher AV block
    • Monitor until the abnormality resolves
  • If postdose symptomatic bradycardia, bradyarrhythmia, or conduction related symptoms occur, or if ECG 6 hr postdose shows new-onset second-degree or higher AV block or QTc ≥500 msec, initiate appropriate management; monitor ECG and symptoms until resolved if no pharmacological treatment is required
  • If pharmacological treatment is required, monitor overnight and repeat 6-hr monitoring after second dose
  • Consult with a cardiologist for patients with preexisting heart and cerebrovascular conditions, a prolonged QTc interval before dosing or during the 6-hr observation, at additional risk for QT prolongation, or on concurrent therapy with QT-prolonging drugs with a known risk of torsades de pointes or drugs that slow heart rate or AV conduction

            Warnings

            Contraindications

            A CYP2C9*3/*3 genotype

            In the last 6 months experienced myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization, or Class III or IV heart failure

            Presence of Mobitz type II second- or third-degree AV block or sick sinus syndrome, unless patient has a functioning pacemaker

            Cautions

            Dose-dependent reductions in absolute FEV1 observed as early as 3 months after treatment initiation

            Incidence of hypertension reported in clinical trials in patients treated with siponimod was slightly higher than those treated with placebo; monitor blood pressure during treatment and manage appropriately

            Based on animal studies, fetal harm may occur (see Pregnancy)

            Severe disease exacerbation, including disease rebound, rarely reported after discontinuing S1P receptor modulator

            After discontinuing, siponimod remains in the blood for up to 10 days; starting other therapies during this interval results in concomitant exposure to siponimod

            May cause a decline in pulmonary function; assess pulmonary function (eg, spirometry) if clinically indicated

            Anti-neoplastic, immune-modulating, or immunosuppressive therapies (including corticosteroids) should be coadministered with caution because of risk of additive immune system effects during such therapy

            Cutaneous malignancies

            • Long-term use of S1P modulators, have been associated with an increased risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma
            • Skin examinations are recommended at the start of treatment and periodically thereafter for all patients, particularly those with risk factors for skin cancer; providers and patients are advised to monitor for suspicious skin lesions; if a suspicious skin lesion is observed, evaluate promptly
            • As usual for patients with increased risk for skin cancer, exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet light should be limited by wearing protective clothing and using a sunscreen with a high protection factor
            • Concomitant phototherapy with UV-B radiation or PUVA-photochemotherapy is not recommended in patients receiving therapy

            Infections

            • Dose-dependent reduction in peripheral lymphocyte count to 20-30% of baseline values may occur because of reversible sequestration of lymphocytes in lymphoid tissues; therefore, increased risk of infections; life-threatening and rare fatal infections have occurred
            • Delay treatment initiation in patients with severe active infection until resolution
            • Infection risk may persist for up to 3-4 weeks after discontinuing because of residual pharmacodynamic effects (eg, decreased lymphocyte count); continue monitoring
            • Appropriately diagnose and treat symptomatic patients with infection while on therapy; consider suspending treatment if a patient develops a serious infection
            • Cases of fatal cryptococcal meningitis (CM) and disseminated cryptococcal infections reported with another S1P receptor modulator
            • Rare cases of CM have also occurred
            • Herpes viral infection, including cases of meningitis or meningoencephalitis caused by VZV reactivation, reported
            • Test for VZV antibodies in patients without a healthcare professional-confirmed history of chickenpox or without documentation of full course VZV vaccination before initiating; if antibody-negative, administer full course VZV vaccine and postpone siponimod initiation for 4 week to allow full vaccine efficacy
            • Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is an opportunistic viral infection of the brain caused by the JC virus that typically only occurs in patients who are immunocompromised, and that usually leads to death or severe disability

            Liver injury

            • Elevated transaminases may occur; recent (eg, within last 6 months) transaminase and bilirubin levels should be reviewed before initiation of therapy
            • Patients who develop symptoms suggestive of hepatic dysfunction, such as unexplained nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, anorexia, rash with eosinophilia, or jaundice and/or dark urine during treatment, should have liver enzymes checked; therapy should be discontinued if significant liver injury is confirmed; exercise caution when administering therapy in patients with a history of significant liver disease

            Macular Edema

            • Macular edema reported; majority of cases occurred within the first 4 months of therapy; an ophthalmic evaluation of the fundus, including macula, recommended in all patients before initiating treatment and at any time if there is any change in vision while receiving therapy
            • Continuation of therapy in patients with macular edema not evaluated; a decision on whether or not therapy should be discontinued needs to take into account the potential benefits and risks for the individual patient
            • Patients with history of uveitis and patients with diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of macular edema during therapy; the incidence of macular edema is also increased in MS patients with a history of uveitis
            • In addition to examination of the fundus, including the macula, prior to treatment, MS patients with diabetes mellitus or a history of uveitis should have regular follow-up examinations

            Immune system after discontinuing therapy

            • After discontinuing, siponimod remains in the blood for up to 10 days; starting other therapies during this interval results in concomitant exposure to Siponimod;
            • Residual pharmacodynamics effects, such as lowering effects on peripheral lymphocyte count, may persist for up to 3 to 4 weeks after last dose
            • Use of immunosuppressants within this period may lead to an additive effect on the immune system; caution should be applied 3 to 4 weeks after last dose of therapy

            Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy

            • Cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) reported in patients with MS treated with S1P receptor modulators; PML is an opportunistic viral infection of the brain caused by the JC virus (JCV) that typically only occurs in patients who are immunocompromised, and that usually leads to death or severe disability
            • PML has occurred in treated patients who had not been treated previously with natalizumab (which has a known association with PML), were not taking any other immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory medications concomitantly, and did not have any ongoing systemic medical conditions resulting in compromised immune system function
            • The majority of cases of PML associated with S1P receptor modulators, have occurred in patients treated for at least 2 years; the relationship between the risk of PML and the duration of treatment is unknown
            • At first sign or symptom suggestive of PML, withhold therapy and perform an appropriate diagnostic evaluation
            • Typical symptoms associated with PML are diverse, progress over days to weeks and include progressive weakness on one side of the body or clumsiness of limbs, disturbance of vision, and changes in thinking, memory, and orientation leading to confusion and personality changes
            • MRI findings may be apparent before clinical signs or symptoms; cases of PML, diagnosed based on MRI findings and the detection of JCV DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid in the absence of clinical signs or symptoms specific to PML, have been reported in patients treated with MS medications associated with PML, including S1P receptor modulators; many of these patients subsequently became symptomatic with PML
            • Monitoring with MRI for signs that may be consistent with PML may be useful, and any suspicious findings should lead to further investigation to allow for an early diagnosis of PML, if present
            • Lower PML-related mortality and morbidity reported following discontinuation of another MS medication associated with PML in patients with PML who were initially asymptomatic compared to patients with PML who had characteristic clinical signs and symptoms at diagnosis; it is not known whether these differences are due to early detection and discontinuation of MS treatment or due to differences in disease in these patients
            • If PML is confirmed, therapy should be discontinued; immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) has been reported in patients receiving therapy, who developed PML and subsequently discontinued treatment
            • IRIS presents as a clinical decline in the patient’s condition that may be rapid, can lead to serious neurological complications or death, and is often associated with characteristic changes on MRI; the time to onset of IRIS in patients with PML was generally within a few months after S1P receptor modulator discontinuation; monitoring for development of IRIS and appropriate treatment of the associated inflammation should be undertaken

            Severe Increase in Disability After Stopping therapy

            • Severe exacerbation of disease, including disease rebound, rarely reported after discontinuation of an S1P receptor modulator; the possibility of severe exacerbation of disease should be considered after stopping treatment
            • Patients should be observed for a severe increase in disability upon therapy discontinuation and appropriate treatment instituted, as required
            • After stopping therapy in the setting of PML, monitor for development of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (PML-IRIS)

            Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome

            • Rare cases of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) reported in patients receiving an S1Preceptor modulator
            • Such events have not been reported for patients receiving therapy in the development program; however, should a patient receiving therapy develop any unexpected neurological or psychiatric symptoms/signs (eg, cognitive deficits, behavioral changes, cortical visual disturbances, or any other neurological cortical symptoms/signs), any symptom/sign suggestive of an increase of intracranial pressure, or accelerated neurological deterioration, the physician should promptly schedule a complete physical and neurological examination and should consider an MRI
            • Symptoms of PRES are usually reversible but may evolve into ischemic stroke or cerebral hemorrhage; delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to permanent neurological sequelae; if PRES is suspected, therapy should be discontinued

            Bradyarrhythmia and AV conduction delays

            • Since initiation of treatment results in a transient decrease in HR and AV conduction delays, use an up-titration scheme to reach maintenance dosage
            • After first titration dose, decrease in HR starts within 1 hr, and on Day 1 declines at ~3-4 hr; with continued up-titration, further HR decreases are seen on subsequent days, with maximal decrease from Day 1-baseline reached on Day 5-6; with continued dosing, HR starts increasing after Day 6 and reaches placebo levels within 10 days after treatment initiation
            • The resting heart rate under stable dose of beta-blocker should be considered before introducing therapy
            • Not studied in patients who had:
              • In the last 6 months experienced myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, TIA, or decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization
              • New York Heart Association Class II-IV heart failure
              • Cardiac conduction or rhythm disorders (eg, complete left bundle-branch block, sinus arrest, sinoatrial block, symptomatic bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, Mobitz type II second-degree AV-block, or higher-grade AV block [either history or observed at screening]), unless patient has a functioning pacemaker
              • Significant QT prolongation (QTc >500 msec)
              • Arrhythmias requiring treatment with Class Ia or Class III antiarrhythmic drugs
            • If treatment considered, advice from cardiologist should be sought:
              • In patients with significant QT prolongation (QTc >500 msec)
              • In patients with arrhythmias requiring treatment with Class Ia or Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs [see DrugInteractions
              • In patients with ischemic heart disease, heart failure, history of cardiac arrest or myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease, and uncontrolled hypertension
              • In patients with history of second-degree Mobitz type II or higher AV block, sick sinus syndrome, or sino-atrial heart block

            Drug interactions overview

            • When switching from drugs with prolonged immune effects, consider half-life and mode of action of these drugs to avoid unintended additive immunosuppressive effects and to minimize risk of disease reactivation when initiating treatment
            • Initiating siponimod after treatment with alemtuzumab is not recommended
            • Siponimod can generally be started immediately after discontinuation of beta-interferon or glatiramer acetate
            • Owing to the potential additive HR effects, should not be initiated in patients who are concurrently treated with QT-prolonging drugs with known arrhythmogenic properties, Class 1a or III antiarrhythmics, HR-lowering calcium channel blockers (eg, verapamil, diltiazem), or other drugs that may decrease HR (eg, ivabradine, digoxin)
            • Use caution when initiating treatment in patients concomitantly using a beta-blocker because of the additive effects on lowering HR; consider temporary interruption of the beta-blocker prior to initiation of treatment; beta-blocker treatment can be initiated in patients receiving stable doses of siponimod
            • During and for up to 1 month after discontinuation of treatment, vaccinations may be less effective; therefore, withhold treatment 1 week prior to and for 4 weeks after vaccination
            • Avoid use with live-attenuated vaccines during and for up to 4 weeks after treatment owing to the potential risk of infection
            • Because of a significant increase in exposure to siponimod, coadministration with moderate CYP2C9 plus moderate/strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is not recommended; exercise caution if concomitantly used alone with moderate CYP2C9 inhibitors; dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with CYP2C9*1/*3 or *2/*3 genotype because of an increase in exposure to siponimod
            • Because of a significant decrease in siponimod exposure, coadministration with moderate CYP2C9 plus moderate/strong CYP3A4 inducers is not recommended for all patients; exercise caution if coadministered alone with moderate CYP2C9 inducers; concurrent use of siponimod and moderate (eg, modafinil, efavirenz) or strong CYP3A4 inducers is not recommended for patients with CYP2C9*1/*3 and*2/*3 genotype

            Pregnancy

            Pregnancy

            There is pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to therapy during pregnancy; healthcare providers are encouraged to enroll pregnant patients, or pregnant women may register themselves in the MotherToBaby Pregnancy Study in Multiple Sclerosis by calling 1-877-311-8972, sending an email to MotherToBaby@health.ucsd.edu, or visiting www.mothertobaby.org/join-study

            There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use in pregnant women

            Animal data

            • Based on animal data and its mechanism of action, fetal harm may occur when administered to a pregnant woman
            • Reproductive and developmental studies in pregnant rats and rabbits have demonstrated drug-induced embryotoxicity and fetotoxicity in rats and rabbits and teratogenicity in rats
            • Increased incidences of postimplantation loss and fetal abnormalities (external, urogenital, and skeletal) in rats and of embryofetal deaths, abortions, and fetal variations (skeletal and visceral) in rabbits observed following prenatal exposure to siponimod starting at a dose 2 times the exposure in humans at the highest recommended dose of 2 mg/day

            Contraception

            • Before initiating treatment, counsel women of childbearing potential on the potential risks to the fetus
            • Advise on effective contraception during treatment
            • Since it takes ~10 days to eliminate drug from the body after discontinuation, potential risks to the fetus may persist and women should use effective contraception during this period

            Lactation

            Unknown if distributed in human breast milk

            A study in lactating rats has shown excretion of siponimod and/or its metabolites in milk

            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

            Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator

            Binds with high affinity to S1P receptors 1 and 5; blocks lymphocyte egress from lymph nodes, reducing the number of lymphocytes in peripheral blood

            Mechanism by which siponimod exerts therapeutic effects in MS is unknown, but may involve reduction of lymphocyte migration into the central nervous system

            Absorption

            Peak plasma time: 4 hr

            Peak plasma concentration: 30.4 ng/mL (2 mg/day over 10 days)

            Siponimod absorption is extensive (≥70%)

            Distribution

            Vd: 124 L

            Animal studies show that siponimod readily crosses the blood-brain barrier

            Protein bound: >99.9%

            Metabolism

            Extensively metabolized, mainly via CYP2C9 (79.3%), followed by CYP3A4 (18.5%)

            Pharmacological activity of the main metabolites M3 and M17 is not expected to contribute to the clinical effect and safety of siponimod in humans

            Elimination

            Clearance: 3.11 L/hr

            Half-life: ~30 hr

            Eliminated from the systemic circulation mainly due to metabolism, and subsequent biliary/fecal excretion; unchanged siponimod was not detected in urine

            Pharmacogenomics

            CYP2C9 genotype

            • Before initiating treatment, test patients to determine CYP2C9 genotype
            • Contraindicated in patients homozygous for CYP2C9*3 (eg, CYP2C9*3/*3 genotype)
            • Dosage adjustment recommended in patients with CYP2C9 *1/*3 or *2/*3 genotype because of an increase in exposure to siponimod

            Treatment initiation recommendations

            • Obtain an ECG in all patients to determine whether preexisting conduction abnormalities are present
            • In all patients, a dose titration is recommended for initiation of treatment to help reduce cardiac effects in patients with sinus bradycardia (HR less than 55 bpm), first- or second-degree [Mobitz type I] AV block, or a history of myocardial infarction or heart failure, if not contraindicated, ECG testing and first-dose monitoring is recommended
            • Since significant bradycardia may be poorly tolerated in patients with history of cardiac arrest, cerebrovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or severe untreated sleep apnea, therapy is not recommended in these patients; if treatment is considered, advice from a cardiologist should be sought prior to initiation of treatment in order to determine the most appropriate monitoring strategy
            • Therapy in patients with a history of recurrent syncope or symptomatic bradycardia should be based on an overall benefit-risk assessment; if treatment is considered, advice from a cardiologist should be sought prior to initiation of treatment in order to determine the most appropriate monitoring
            • Experience with therapy is limited in patients receiving concurrent therapy with drugs that decrease heart rate(eg, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers - diltiazem and verapamil, and other drugs that may decrease heart rate, such as ivabradine and digoxin)
            • Concomitant use of these drugs during therapy initiation may be associated with severe bradycardia and heart block
            • For patients receiving a stable dose of a beta-blocker, the resting heart rate should be considered before introducing treatment; if the resting heart rate is > 50 bpm under chronic beta-blocker treatment, therapy can be introduced
            • If resting heart rate is less than or equal to 50 bpm, beta-blocker treatment should be interrupted until baseline heart rate is > 50 bpm
            • Therapy can then be initiated and treatment with a beta-blocker can be reinitiated after the drug has been up-titrated to the target maintenance dosage
            • For patients taking other drugs that decrease heart rate, therapy should generally not be initiated without consultation from a cardiologist because of potential additive effect on heart rate

            Missed dose

            • During titration: If 1 titration dose is missed for >24 hr, treatment needs to be reinitiated with Day 1 of the titration regimen
            • During maintenance
              • If 1 dose missed after initial dose titration, take as soon as possible
              • Dosing interrupted for ≥4 consecutive daily doses: Reinitiate treatment with Day 1 of the titration regimen

            Storage
