            Warnings

            Black Box Warnings

            Hepatotoxicity

            • Serious and potentially fatal liver injury may occur
            • Monitor liver tests before initiating treatment and periodically during treatment
            • Withhold and dose reduce or permanently discontinue based on severity of hepatotoxicity
            • Available only through a restricted program called the Turalio Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS)

            Contraindications

            None

            Cautions

            Based on animal studies and its mechanism of action, fetal harm may occur when administered to a pregnant woman

            Hepatoxicity

            • Hepatotoxicity with ductopenia and cholestasis occurred; mechanism of cholestatic hepatotoxicity is unknown and its occurrence cannot be predicted
            • It is unknown whether liver injury occurs in the absence of increased transaminases
            • Administration with food increases drug exposure by 100% and may increase risk of hepatotoxicity
            • Monitor liver tests before initiating treatment, weekly for the first 8 weeks, every 2 weeks for the next month, and every 3 months thereafter
            • Risks associated with high-fat meal
              • Taking with high-fat meal increases pexidartinib concentrations, which may increase incidence and severity of adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity
              • Instruct patients to take drug with a low-fat meal
              • Consider referring patients to a dietician as deemed necessary

            REMS program

            • Available only through a restricted program under a REMS, owing to the risk of hepatoxicity
            • Requirements of the program include the following:
            • Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training
            • Patients must complete and sign an enrollment form for inclusion in a patient registry
            • Pharmacies must be certified with the program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive pexidartinib
            • Further information is available at www.turalioREMS.com or 1-833-887-2546

            Drug interaction overview

            • Substrate of CYP3A4 and UGT1A4; also known to cause hepatoxicity
            • Moderate CYP3A inducer
            • Hepatotoxic agents
              • Avoid coadministration of pexidartinib with other products known to cause hepatoxicity in patients with increased serum transaminases, total bilirubin, or direct bilirubin (>ULN) or active liver or biliary tract disease, owning to increased risk of hepatoxicity
            • Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors or UGT inhibitors
              • Avoid coadministration
              • Strong CYP3A inhibitors increase pexidartinib plasma concentrations and potentially increases the incidence and severity of adverse reactions
              • Reduce pexidartinib dose according to recommendations
            • Strong CYP3A inducers
              • Avoid coadministration
              • Strong CYP3A inducers decrease pexidartinib plasma levels, which may decrease pexidartinib efficacy
            • CYP3A substrates
              • Pexidartinib decreases the concentration of CYP3A substrates, which may reduce the efficacy of these substrates
              • Avoid coadministration with hormonal contraceptives
              • Avoid coadministration with CYP3A substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious therapeutic failures; if coadministration unavoidable, increase the CYP3A substrate dosage in accordance with prescribing information
            • Acid-reducing agents
              • Avoid coadministration with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
              • PPIs decrease pexidartinib plasma concentrations, which may decrease pexidartinib efficacy
              • Alternatively, may use locally-acting antacid or H2-receptor antagonist

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, embryofetal harm may occur when administered to a pregnant woman

            Available human data do not establish the presence or absence of major birth defects or miscarriage related to use in pregnant women

            Animal data

            • Oral administration of pexidartinib to pregnant animals during organogenesis resulted in malformations, postimplantation loss, and abortion at maternal exposures that were approximately equal to the human exposure at the 800 mg-dose
            • Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus

            Pregnancy testing

            • Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential before initiating treatment

            Contraception

            • Females of reproductive potential: Use effective nonhormonal contraception during treatment and for 1 month after final dose; therapy can render hormonal contraceptives ineffective
            • Males with female partners of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after final dose

            Infertility

            • Based on findings from animal studies, treatment may impair both male and female fertility

            Lactation

            No data available on presence of pexidartinib or its metabolites in either human or animal milk or its effects on a breastfed child or on milk production

            Advise females not to breastfeed during treatment and for at least 1 week after final 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.

            NA: Information not available.

            Pharmacology

            Mechanism of Action

            Orally bioavailable inhibitor of colony-stimulator factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), a tyrosine kinase receptor; also elicits potential antineoplastic, macrophage checkpoint-inhibitory, and immunomodulating activities

            Targets and binds to CSF1R expressed on monocytes, macrophages, and osteoclasts, and inhibits the binding of the CSF1R ligands colony-stimulating factor-1 and interleukin-34, to CSF1R; this prevents CSF1R activation and CSF1R-mediated signaling in these cells

            The described actions block production of inflammatory mediators by macrophages and monocytes and reduce inflammation, thereby inhibiting immunomodulating activity by macrophages and enhancing T-cell infiltration and antitumor T-cell immune responses, which inhibits tumor cell proliferation

            Absorption

            Peak plasma time: 2.5 hr

            Peak plasma concentration: 8625 ng/mL

            Time to steady-state: ~7 days

            Administration with food

            • High-fat meal
              • Increases peak plasma concentration and AUC by 100%
              • Delays peak plasma time by 2.5 hr

            Distribution

            Vd: 187 L

            Protein binding

            • >99%
            • Human serum albumin: 99.9%
            • Alpha-1 acid glycoprotein: 89.9%

            Metabolism

            Primary pathway

            • Oxidation: CYP3A4
            • Glucuronidation: UGT1A4

            N-glucuronide metabolite

            • Major inactive metabolite formed by UGT1A4
            • ~10% higher exposure than pexidartinib after single dose

            Elimination

            Half-life: 26.6 hr

            Clearance: 5.1 L/hr

            Excretion
