Chronic

Graft versus Host Disease In two clinical trials (Study KD025-213 and Study KD025-208), 83 adult patients with chronic GVHD were treated with REZUROCK 200 mg once daily [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . The median duration of treatment was 9.2 months (range 0.5 to 44.7 months). Fatal adverse reaction was reported in one patient with severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and multi-organ failure. Permanent discontinuation of REZUROCK due to adverse reactions occurred in 18% of patients. The adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of REZUROCK in >3% of patients included nausea (4%). Adverse reactions leading to dose interruption occurred in 29% of patients. The adverse reactions leading to dose interruption in ≥2% were infections (11%), diarrhea (4%), and asthenia, dyspnea, hemorrhage, hypotension, liver function test abnormal, nausea, pyrexia, edema, and renal failure with (2% each). The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were infections, asthenia, nausea, diarrhea, dyspnea, cough, edema, hemorrhage, abdominal pain, musculoskeletal pain, headache, phosphate decreased, gamma glutamyl transferase increased, lymphocytes decreased, and hypertension.

AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.1 , 8.1 , 8.3 )

5.1 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, REZUROCK can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of belumosudil to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes including embryo-fetal mortality and malformations at maternal exposures (AUC) less than those in patients at the recommended dose. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with REZUROCK and for one week after the last dose <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) , Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ]</span> .

Belumosudil is an OATP1B1 inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with OATP1B1 substrates may increase their plasma concentrations. Monitor patients more frequently for adverse reactions of these substrates and decrease the OATP1B1 substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> . Certain CYP1A2 Substrates Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are sensitive CYP1A2 substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the CYP1A2 substrate dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information. Belumosudil is a CYP1A2 inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with sensitive CYP1A2 substrates (e.g., caffeine) is predicted to increase CYP1A2 substrate exposure <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain CYP3A Substrates Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are sensitive CYP3A substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the CYP3A substrate dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information. Belumosudil is a CYP3A inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with sensitive CYP3A substrates (e.g., midazolam) is predicted to increase CYP3A substrate exposure <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain UGT1A1 Substrates Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are UGT1A1 substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the UGT1A1 substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information. Belumosudil is a UGT1A1 inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with a UGT1A1 substrate decreased plasma concentrations of the glucuronide metabolite of the UGT1A1 substrate <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span>. Concomitant use of belumosudil with other UGT1A1 substrates may increase their plasma concentrations, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain P-gp Substrates Avoid concomitant use of REZUROCK with drugs that are P-gp substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the P-gp substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information. Belumosudil is a P-gp inhibitor. Concomitant use of REZUROCK with P-gp substrates increased their plasma concentrations <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.
