Overview

Eliglustat is a {{{drugClass}}} that is FDA approved for the treatment of {{{indication}}}. Common adverse reactions include .

Adult Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)

Indications

  • CERDELGA is indicated for the long-term treatment of adult patients with Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1) who are CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (EMs), intermediate metabolizers (IMs), or poor metabolizers (PMs) as detected by an FDA-cleared test.

Limitations of Use:

  • Patients who are CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizers (URMs) may not achieve adequate concentrations of CERDELGA to achieve a therapeutic effect .
  • A specific dosage cannot be recommended for those patients whose CYP2D6 genotype cannot be determined (indeterminate metabolizers).

Dosage

Patient Selection

  • Select patients with Gaucher disease type 1 based on their CYP2D6 metabolizer status. It is recommended patient genotypes be established using an FDA-cleared test for determining CYP2D6 genotype.

Recommended Adult Dosage

  • The recommended dosage of CERDELGA is 84 mg twice daily in CYP2D6 EMs and IMs. The recommended dosage in CYP2D6 PMs is 84 mg once daily; appropriate adverse event monitoring is recommended. The predicted exposures with 84 mg once daily in patients who are CYP2D6 PMs are expected to be similar to exposures observed with 84 mg twice daily in CYP2D6 IMs.
  • Some inhibitors of CYP2D6 and CYP3A are contraindicated with CERDELGA depending on the patient's metabolizer status [see CONTRAINDICATIONS (4)]. Co-administration of CERDELGA with other CYP2D6 and CYP3A inhibitors may require dosage adjustment depending on the patient's CYP2D6 metabolizer status to reduce the risk of potentially significant adverse reactions.
  • Reduce the dosage of CERDELGA to 84 mg once daily for:
  • CYP2D6 EMs and IMs taking strong or moderate CYP2D6 inhibitors
  • CYP2D6 EMs taking strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors

DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

  • CERDELGA is supplied as 84 mg hard gelatin capsules, with a pearl blue-green opaque cap and pearl white opaque body imprinted with "GZ02" in black. Each capsule contains 100 mg eliglustat tartrate, which is equivalent to 84 mg of eliglustat.

Off-Label Use and Dosage (Adult)

Guideline-Supported Use

There is limited information regarding Off-Label Guideline-Supported Use of Eliglustat in adult patients.

Non–Guideline-Supported Use

There is limited information regarding Off-Label Non–Guideline-Supported Use of Eliglustat in adult patients.

Pediatric Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Pediatric)

There is limited information regarding FDA-Labeled Use of Eliglustat in pediatric patients.

Off-Label Use and Dosage (Pediatric)

Guideline-Supported Use

There is limited information regarding Off-Label Guideline-Supported Use of Eliglustat in pediatric patients.

Non–Guideline-Supported Use

There is limited information regarding Off-Label Non–Guideline-Supported Use of Eliglustat in pediatric patients.

Contraindications

  • CERDELGA is contraindicated in the following patients due to the risk of significantly increased eliglustat plasma concentrations which may result in prolongation of the PR, QTc, and/or QRS cardiac intervals that could result in cardiac arrhythmias. See TABLE 3 and TABLE 4 for examples of drugs in each of the categories described:

EMs or IMs taking a strong or moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor concomitantly with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor. IMs or PMs taking a strong CYP3A inhibitor.

Warnings

Drug-Drug Interactions

  • Eliglustat is a CYP2D6 and CYP3A substrate. Drugs that inhibit CYP2D6 and CYP3A metabolism pathways may significantly increase the exposure to eliglustat and result in prolongation of the PR, QTc, and/or QRS cardiac intervals that could result in cardiac arrhythmias. Some drugs that are inhibitors of CYP2D6 and CYP3A are contraindicated with CERDELGA depending on the patient's CYP2D6 metabolizer status . See TABLE 3 and TABLE 4 for other potentially significant drug interactions.

ECG Changes and Potential for Cardiac Arrhythmias

  • Use of CERDELGA in patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions has not been studied during clinical trials. Because CERDELGA is predicted to cause increases in ECG intervals (PR, QTc, and QRS) at substantially elevated eliglustat plasma concentrations, use of CERDELGA is not recommended in patients with pre-existing cardiac disease (congestive heart failure, recent acute myocardial infarction, bradycardia, heart block, ventricular arrhythmia), long QT syndrome, and in combination with Class IA (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) and Class III (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic medications

Adverse Reactions

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 adverse reaction profile of CERDELGA is based on two controlled studies, Trials 1 and 2. Table 1 presents the profile from the 9-month double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 40 treatment-naïve patients (Trial 1). Patients were between the ages of 16 and 63 on the date of the first dose of study drug, and included 20 males and 20 females.

  • Table 2 presents the profile from the 12-month open-label, randomized, imiglucerase-controlled trial of 159 treated patients switching from enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) (Trial 2). Patients were between the ages of 18 and 69 on the date of the first dose of CERDELGA, and included 87 females and 72 males.

In an uncontrolled study, with up to 4 years of treatment, in 26 patients, the types and incidences of adverse reactions were similar to Trials 1 and 2.

Drug Interactions

Potential for Other Drugs to Affect CERDELGA

Eliglustat is a CYP2D6 and CYP3A substrate.

CYP2D6 and CYP3A Inhibitors

  • Drugs that inhibit CYP2D6 and CYP3A pathways may significantly increase the exposure to eliglustat and result in prolongation of the PR, QTc, and/or QRS cardiac interval which could result in cardiac arrhythmias:
  • Some inhibitors of CYP2D6 and CYP3A are contraindicated with CERDELGA depending on the patient's CYP2D6 metabolizer status.
  • Co-administration of CERDELGA with other CYP2D6 and CYP3A inhibitors may require dosage adjustment depending on the patient's CYP2D6 metabolizer status to reduce the risk of potential significant adverse reactions.
