Zydelig: Package Insert and Label Information (Page 2 of 4)
5.6 Severe Cutaneous Reactions
Fatal cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) have occurred in patients treated with Zydelig. Cases of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) have also occurred [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. Zydelig is contraindicated in patients with a history of toxic epidermal necrolysis [see Contraindications (4)]. If SJS, TEN, or DRESS is suspected, interrupt Zydelig until the etiology of the reaction has been determined. If SJS, TEN, or DRESS is confirmed, permanently discontinue Zydelig [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
Other severe or life-threatening (Grade ≥3) cutaneous reactions, including dermatitis exfoliative, rash, rash erythematous, rash generalized, rash macular, rash maculo-papular, rash papular, rash pruritic, exfoliative rash, and skin disorder, have been reported in patients treated with Zydelig. Monitor patients for the development of other severe or life-threatening cutaneous reactions and permanently discontinue Zydelig [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
5.7 Hypersensitivity Reactions
Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in patients on Zydelig. Zydelig is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions to idelalisib, including anaphylaxis [see Contraindications (4)]. In patients who develop serious hypersensitivity reactions, permanently discontinue Zydelig [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] and institute appropriate supportive measures.
5.8 Neutropenia
Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurred in 58% of patients treated with Zydelig in combination with rituximab or with unapproved combination therapies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor blood counts at least every 2 weeks for the first 6 months of therapy, and at least weekly in patients while neutrophil counts are less than 1.0 Gi/L. Interrupt Zydelig until resolution and resume at reduced dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
5.9 Embryo-fetal Toxicity
Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, Zydelig may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of idelalisib to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused decreased fetal weight and congenital malformations at systemic exposures 12 times those reported in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily.
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Zydelig and for 1 month after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to Zydelig at a dosage of 150 mg twice daily in 110 patients administered in combination with rituximab in Study 312-0116, and in combination with other drugs in 380 patients. Among 490 patients who received Zydelig, 74% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 50% were exposed for one year or longer. In this pooled safety population, the most common (> 30%) adverse reactions were diarrhea, pneumonia, pyrexia, fatigue, rash, cough, and nausea. Common laboratory abnormalities were neutropenia, ALT elevations and AST elevations.
Summary of Clinical Trials in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
The safety data reflect exposure to Zydelig from two randomized, double-blind clinical trials (Studies 312-0116 and 312-0115) in 634 patients with relapsed CLL [see Clinical Studies (14.1)] and one randomized, open-label trial in 259 patients with relapsed CLL (Study 312-0119).
Zydelig with Rituximab (Study 312-0116)
Patients with relapsed CLL received up to 8 doses of rituximab (R) with (n=110) or without Zydelig (n=108)150 mg twice daily. The median duration of exposure to Zydelig was 8 months.
Serious adverse reactions were reported in 65 (59%) patients treated with Zydelig + R The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported for patients treated with Zydelig + R were pneumonia (23%), diarrhea (10%), pyrexia (9%), sepsis (8%), and febrile neutropenia (5%).
Adverse reactions that led to discontinuation of Zydelig occurred in 19 (17%) patients. The most common adverse reactions that led to treatment discontinuations were hepatotoxicity and diarrhea/colitis.
Forty-two (38%) patients had dose interruptions and sixteen (15%) patients had dose reductions due to adverse reactions or laboratory abnormalities. The most common reasons for dose interruptions or reductions were pneumonia, diarrhea or colitis, rash, and elevated transaminases.
Table 2 and Table 3 summarize common adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities reported for Zydelig + R and placebo + R arms.

Summary of Clinical Trials in Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
The safety data reflect exposure to Zydelig from three open-label clinical trials (Studies 101-09, 101-02, and 101-10 in 146 patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) treated with Zydelig 150 mg orally twice daily. Zydelig is not indicated for the treatment of iNHL. The median duration of exposure was 6.1 months (range 0.3 to 26.4 months).
Serious adverse reactions were reported in 73 (50%) patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions that occurred were pneumonia (15%), diarrhea (11%), and pyrexia (9%).
Adverse reactions resulted in interruption or discontinuation for 78 (53%) patients. The most common reasons for interruption or discontinuations were diarrhea (11%), pneumonia (11%), and elevated transaminases (10%).
The most common adverse reactions were neutropenia (53%), ALT increased (50%), diarrhea (47%), AST increased (41%), fatigue (30%), nausea and cough (29% each), anemia and pyrexia (28% each), abdominal pain and thrombocytopenia (26% each), and pneumonia (25%).
Summary of Discontinued Clinical Trials in Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and First-Line CLL
Zydelig is not indicated for patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma or previously untreated CLL either as monotherapy or in combination with rituximab or BR. Safety data described below reflect exposure to Zydelig in three randomized, double-blind clinical trials (Studies 312-0123, 313-0124, and 313-0125) in patients with CLL and iNHL.
In Study 312-0123 (NCT01980888), 311 patients with previously untreated CLL received up to 6 cycles of BR with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily.
In Study 313-0124 (NCT01732913), 295 patients with previously treated iNHL [FL 66%, marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) 19%, SLL 9%, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)/Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) 6%] received 8 doses of R with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily. Patients had a median of one prior therapy.
In Study 313-0125 (NCT01732926), 475 patients with previously treated iNHL (FL 63%, MZL 15%, SLL 11%, LPL/WM 11%) received up to 6 cycles of BR with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily. Patients had a median of two prior therapies.
These three studies were terminated early due to a higher incidence of fatal and/or serious adverse reactions observed in patients treated with Zydelig in combination with R or BR. The most frequent serious adverse reactions were in the system organ classes of infections and infestations, blood and lymphatic system disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders.
