As NINLARO is administered in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, refer to the individual SmPCs for these medicinal products for additional special warnings and precautions for use.1
Special warnings and precautions for use
Thrombocytopenia1
Thrombocytopenia has been reported with NINLARO with platelet nadirs typically occurring between days 14-21 of each 28-day cycle and recovery to baseline by the start of the next cycle (see page 11 for guidance).
Gastrointestinal toxicities1
Diarrhoea, constipation, nausea and vomiting have been reported with NINLARO, occasionally requiring use of antiemetic and antidiarrhoeal medicinal products and supportive care (see page 14 for guidance).
Peripheral neuropathy1
Peripheral neuropathy has been reported with NINLARO. Patients should be monitored for symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Patients experiencing new or worsening peripheral neuropathy may require dose modification (see page 12 for guidance).
Peripheral oedema1
Peripheral oedema has been reported with NINLARO. Patients should be evaluated for underlying causes and provided with supportive care, as necessary. The dose of dexamethasone should be adjusted per its prescribing information or NINLARO for Grade 3 or 4 symptoms (see page 15 for guidance on “other non-haematological toxicities”).
Cutaneous reactions / rash1
Rash has been reported with NINLARO. Rash should be managed with supportive care or with dose modification (see page 13 for guidance).
®
5
Hepatotoxicity1
Drug-induced liver injury, hepatocellular injury, hepatic steatosis, hepatitis cholestatic and hepatotoxicity have been uncommonly reported with NINLARO. Hepatic enzymes should be monitored regularly and the dose should be adjusted for Grade 3 or 4 symptoms (see page 15 for guidance on “other non-haematological toxicities”).
Pregnancy1
Women should avoid becoming pregnant while being treated with NINLARO. Women of childbearing potential must use highly effective contraception while taking NINLARO and for 90 days after stopping treatment. Women using hormonal contraceptives should additionally use a barrier method of contraception.
NINLARO is given in combination with lenalidomide. Lenalidomide is structurally related to thalidomide. The conditions of the Pregnancy Prevention Programme for lenalidomide must be fulfilled for all patients unless there is reliable evidence that the patient does not have childbearing potential. Please refer to the current lenalidomide SmPC.1
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome1 Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) has occurred in patients receiving NINLARO. PRES is a rare, reversible, neurological disorder which can present with seizure, hypertension, headache, altered consciousness, and visual disturbances. Brain imaging, preferably magnetic resonance imaging, is used to confirm the diagnosis. In patients developing PRES, discontinue NINLARO.
Strong CYP3A inducers1
Strong inducers may reduce the efficacy of NINLARO, therefore the concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampicin and St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum), should be avoided. Closely monitor patients for disease control if co-administration with a strong CYP3A inducer cannot be avoided.
6
The usual recommended starting dose of NINLARO is one 4 mg capsule taken once a week based on the following schedule1
Oral NINLARO is administered once a week for 3 weeks of a 4-week cycle
*The recommended starting dose of dexamethasone is 40 mg – each tablet contains 2 mg dexamethasone. Treatment with NINLARO in combination with Rd for longer than 24 cycles should be based on an individual benefit risk assessment.1

The recommended starting dose of oral NINLARO is 3 mg for patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment, severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis1
NINLARO should be taken with lenalidomide and dexamethasone at standard dosing1
The recommended starting dose of lenalidomide is 25 mg administered daily on days 1 to 21 of a 28-day treatment cycle
The recommended starting dose of dexamethasone is 40 mg administered on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a 28-day treatment cycle
Prior to initiating a new cycle of therapy:1
Absolute neutrophil count should be ≥1000/mm3
Platelet count should be ≥75,000/mm3
Non-haematological toxicities should, at the physician’s discretion, generally be recovered to patient’s baseline condition or Grade ≤1
Antiviral prophylaxis should be considered to reduce the risk of herpes zoster reactivation1
Thromboprophylaxis is recommended in patients being treated with NINLARO in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, and should be based on an assessment of the patient’s underlying risk and clinical status.1
Treatment should be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.*1
8
How to administer NINLARO1
Each dose of NINLARO should be taken at approximately the same time each day and on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before or at least 2 hours after food).*1
Because dexamethasone should be taken with food, NINLARO and dexamethasone should not be taken at the same time
NINLARO should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. The capsule should not be crushed, chewed, or opened.1
If a patient vomits after taking a dose, the patient should not repeat the dose but should resume dosing at the time of the next scheduled dose†
If a dose of NINLARO is delayed or missed, the dose should be taken only if the next scheduled dose is ≥72 hours away.1
A missed dose should not be taken within 72 hours of the next scheduled dose
A double dose should not be taken to make up for a missed dose
NINLARO should be stored in the original packaging in order to protect from moisture‡ and the capsules should be removed just prior to dosing.1 This means they cannot be transferred to a pill box.
Do not store above 30˚C. Do not freeze.1
NINLARO is cytotoxic. Direct contact with the capsule contents should be avoided.1
For additional information regarding lenalidomide or dexamethasone, please refer to each respective Summary of Product Characteristics. *Administration with a high-fat meal decreased ixazomib AUC by 28% compared with administration after an overnight fast. †After oral administration, peak plasma concentrations of ixazomib were achieved at approximately one hour after dosing. ‡Ixazomib citrate, a prodrug, is a substance that rapidly hydrolyses under physiological conditions to its biologically active form, ixazomib.
®
9
Oral NINLARO is available in several strengths to allow for dose modification1
*NINLARO is not dialysable and, therefore, can be administered without regard to the timing of dialysis†Creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min. ‡Total bilirubin ≤upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 x ULN and any AST. For additional information regarding lenalidomide or dexamethasone, please refer to each respective Summary of Product Characteristics.

Dose modification guidelines
Monitor platelet counts at least monthly during treatment with NINLARO – consider more frequent monitoring during the first three cycles1,2
Manage thrombocytopenia and neutropenia with dose modification and platelet transfusions or G-CSF, respectively, as per standard medical guidelines1
An alternating dose modification approach is recommended for NINLARO and lenalidomide for overlapping toxicities of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia
Adverse event management: myelosuppression1
For the overlapping toxicities of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia, the first dose reduction step is to reduce lenalidomide1
Adverse event Recommended action1
Thrombocytopenia(platelet count <30,000/mm3)
AND/ORNeutropenia(absolute neutrophil count <500/mm3)
• Withhold NINLARO and lenalidomide until platelet or absolute neutrophil counts are ≥30,000/mm3 or ≥500/mm3, respectively
• Following recovery, resume lenalidomide at the next lower dose according to its SmPC, and resume NINLARO at the most recent dose
• If platelet or absolute neutrophil counts drop again to <30,000/mm3 or <500/mm3, respectively, withhold NINLARO and lenalidomide until recovery
• Following recovery, resume NINLARO at the next lower dose, and resume lenalidomide at the most recent dose*
*For additional occurrences, alternate dose modification of lenalidomide and NINLARO.

Adverse event management: peripheral neuropathy1
Dose modification guidelines
Dose modification for peripheral neuropathy (PN)1
Adverse event Recommended action1
Grade 1 PN with painGrade 2 PN
• Withhold NINLARO until PN recovers to ≤Grade 1 without pain or patient’s baseline condition
• Following recovery, resume NINLARO at the most recent dose
Grade 2 PN with painGrade 3 PN
• Withhold NINLARO. Toxicities should, at the physician’s discretion, generally recover to patient’s baseline condition or ≤Grade 1 prior to resuming NINLARO
• Following recovery, resume NINLARO at the next lower dose
Grade 4 PN • Discontinue treatment regimen
Patients on NINLARO should be monitored for symptoms of neuropathy, such as a burning sensation, hyperaesthesia, hypoaesthesia, paraesthesia, discomfort, neuropathic pain or weakness4
Patients experiencing new or worsening peripheral neuropathy may require dose modification (see table below)1
Withhold treatment or adjust dosing for Grade 1-3 symptoms1
Discontinue treatment for Grade 4 symptoms1
®
13
Rash has been most commonly characterised as maculo-papular or macular and is most commonly reported within the first 3 cycles of therapy1,3
Symptomatic measures such as antihistamines or corticosteroids (oral or topical) have been used successfully to manage rash and have been used prophylactically in subsequent cycles during NINLARO clinical studies5
The use of a topical, IV or oral steroid (e.g. prednisolone ≤10 mg per day or equivalent) was permitted within the TOURMALINE-MM1 study5
Manage rash with supportive care and/or with dose modification if Grade 2 or 31
Discontinue treatment if Grade 4 symptoms1
Adverse event management: rash1
*Grading based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria (CTCAE) Version 4.03. †For additional occurrences, alternate dose modification of lenalidomide and NINLARO.
The first dose modification for overlapping toxicity of rash is to withhold / reduce lenalidomide1
Adverse event Recommended action1
Grade* 2 or 3 rash • Withhold lenalidomide until rash recovers to ≤Grade 1
• Following recovery, resume lenalidomide at the next lower dose according to its SmPC
• If Grade 2 or 3 rash occurs again, withhold NINLARO and lenalidomide until rash recovers to ≤Grade 1
• Following recovery, resume NINLARO at the next lower dose and resume lenalidomide at its most recent dose†
Grade* 4 rash • Discontinue treatment regimen

Dose modification guidelines
Adverse event management: gastrointestinal toxicities1
Reversible diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite and constipation have been reported in clinical studies1,6
Patients should be monitored for gastrointestinal toxicity and should be given appropriate supportive care1,6
Standard antiemetics including 5-HT3 antagonists are recommended according to clinical practice for emesis if it occurs once treatment is initiated; prophylactic antiemetics may also be considered at the physician’s discretion5
Dexamethasone should not be administered as an antiemetic5
Prophylactic antidiarrhoeals are not recommended; however diarrhoea should be managed according to standard clinical practice, including the administration of antidiarrhoeals once infectious causes are excluded5
Fluid deficits should be corrected before initiation of NINLARO and as needed during treatment to avoid dehydration5
In the case of severe gastrointestinal events, monitoring of serum potassium level is recommended1
For lenalidomide-related toxicity, refer to lenalidomide SmPC for dose adjustments1
Dose modification guidelines for gastrointestinal toxicities1
Adverse event Recommended action1
Grade 3 or 4 gastrointestinal toxicities
• Withhold NINLARO – toxicities should, at the physician’s discretion, generally recover to patient’s baseline condition or ≤Grade 1 prior to resuming NINLARO
• If attributable to NINLARO, resume at the next lower dose following recovery
®
15
Adverse event management: other non-haematological toxicities1
Dose modification guidelines for other non-haematological toxicities1
For lenalidomide and dexamethasone-related toxicity, refer to lenalidomide or dexamethasone SmPCs for dose adjustments1
Adverse event Recommended action1
Other Grade 3 or 4 non-haematological toxicities
• Withhold NINLARO – toxicities should, at the physician’s discretion, generally recover to patient’s baseline condition or ≤Grade 1 prior to resuming NINLARO
• If attributable to NINLARO, resume NINLARO at the next lower dose following recovery

Using NINLARO in special patient populations1
Elderly
No dose adjustment of NINLARO is required for patients over 65 years of age1
Discontinuations in patients >75 years of age were reported in 13 patients (28%) in the NINLARO regimen and 10 patients (16%) in the placebo regimen1
Cardiac arrhythmias in patients >75 years of age were observed in 10 patients (21%) in the NINLARO regimen and 9 patients (15%) in the placebo regimen1
Paediatric population
NINLARO in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy1
The safety and efficacy of NINLARO in children below 18 years of age have not been established – no data are available1
®
17
Hepatic impairment
No dose adjustment of NINLARO is required for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 x ULN and any AST)1
A lower starting dose of 3 mg is recommended for patients with moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 x ULN) or severe (total bilirubin >3 x ULN) hepatic impairment1
Renal impairment
No dose adjustment of NINLARO is required for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min)1
A lower starting dose of 3 mg is recommended for patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis1
NINLARO is not dialysable and therefore can be administered without regard to the timing of dialysis1
Refer to the lenalidomide SmPC for dosing recommendations in patients with renal impairment1
