CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with copanlisib.Copanlisib did not cause genetic damage in in vitro or in vivo assays.Fertility studies with copanlisib were not conducted; however, adverse findings in male and female reproductive systems were observed in the repeat dose toxicity studies. Findings in the male rats and/or dogs included effects on the testes (germinal epithelial degeneration, decreased weight, and/or tubular atrophy), epididymides (spermatic debris, decreased weight, and/or oligospermia/aspermia), and prostate (reduced secretion and/or decreased weight). Findings in female rats included effects on ovaries (hemorrhage, hemorrhagic cysts, and decreased weight), uterus (atrophy, decreased weight), vagina (mononuclear infiltration), and dose-related reduction in the numbers of female rats in estrus.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1Mechanism of Action Copanlisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) with inhibitory activity predominantly against PI3K- and PI3K- isoforms expressed in malignant cells. Copanlisib has been shown to induce tumor cell death by apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation of primary malignant cell lines. Copanlisib inhibits several key cell-signaling pathways, including B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, CXCR12 mediated chemotaxis of malignant cells, and NFB signaling in lymphoma cell lines.. 12.2Pharmacodynamics At 60 mg (or 0.8 mg/kg) of ALIQOPA dose, the elevation of plasma glucose was associated with higher copanlisib exposure. Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of the recommended ALIQOPA dose of 60 mg on the QTc interval was evaluated in an open label, dedicated QT study of 25 patients with advanced cancer. No large mean QTc prolongation >20 ms above baseline was observed.. 12.3Pharmacokinetics The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of ALIQOPA increase dose-proportionally over to 93 mg (0.08 to 1.55 times the approved recommended dose) absolute dose range and exhibit linear pharmacokinetics (PK). There is no time-dependency and no accumulation in the PK of copanlisib. The geometric mean (range) steady state copanlisib exposure at 0.8 mg/kg (approximately the approved recommended dose of 60 mg) are 463 (range: 105 to 1670; SD: 584) ng/mL for Cmax and 1570 (range: 536 to 3410; SD: 338) ng.hr/mL for AUC0-25h. Distribution The in vitro human plasma protein binding of copanlisib is 84.2%. Albumin is the main binding protein. The in vitro mean blood-to-plasma ratio is 1.7 (range: 1.5 to 2.1). The geometric mean volume of distribution is 871 (range: 423 to 2150; SD: 479) L. Elimination The geometric mean terminal elimination half-life of copanlisib is 39.1 (range: 14.6 to 82.4; SD: 15.0) hours. The geometric mean clearance is 17.9 (range: 7.3 to 51.4; SD: 8.5) L/hr. Metabolism Approximately >90% of copanlisib metabolism is mediated by CYP3A and <10% by CYP1A1. The M-1 metabolite accounts for 5% of total radioactivity AUC and its pharmacological activity is comparable to the parent compound copanlisib for the tested kinases PI3KandPI3K.. Excretion Copanlisib is excreted approximately 50% as unchanged compound and 50% as metabolites in humans. Following single intravenous dose of 12 mg (0.2 times the recommended approved dose) radiolabeled copanlisib, approximately 64% of the administered dose was recovered in feces and 22% in urine within 20 to 34 days. Unchanged copanlisib represented approximately 30% of the administered dose in feces and 15% in urine. Metabolites resulting from CYP450-mediated oxidation metabolism accounted for 41% of the administered dose.. Specific Populations Age (20 to 90 years), gender, race (White, Asian, Hispanic, and Black), smoking status, body weight (41 to 130 kg), and mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment [CLcr >= 15 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault (C-G) equation] had no clinically significant effect on the PK of copanlisib. The PK of copanlisib in patients with end stage renal disease (CLcr 15 mL/min by C-G equation) with or without dialysis is unknown.. Patients with Hepatic Impairment Based on population PK analysis in patients with cancer, mild hepatic impairment [total bilirubin <= x ULN and AST ULN, or total bilirubin 1-1.5 ULN and any AST] had no clinically relevant effect on the PK of copanlisib.In dedicated PK study evaluating single intravenous dose of 12 mg (0.2 times the recommended approved dose of 60 mg) of ALIQOPA in subjects with hepatic impairment, the geometric mean of total copanlisib Cmax and AUC increased 1.38-fold and 1.71-fold, respectively, in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) as compared to normal hepatic function. The geometric mean unbound AUC of copanlisib was increased by 1.23-fold with no effect on Cmax. The PK of copanlisib in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh or total bilirubin 3-10 ULN and any AST) is unknown.. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies Effect of CYP3A and P-gp Inducers on CopanlisibRifampin, strong CYP3A and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter inducer, administered at dose of 600 mg once daily for 12 days with single intravenous dose of 60 mg ALIQOPA in patients with cancer resulted in 60% decrease in the mean AUC and 12% decrease in Cmax of copanlisib [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].Effect of CYP3A, P-gp and BCRP Inhibitors on CopanlisibItraconazole, strong CYP3A inhibitor and P-gp and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) transporter inhibitor, administered at dose of 200 mg once daily for 10 days increased the mean AUC of single intravenous dose of 60 mg ALIQOPA by 53% (or 1.53-fold) with no effect on Cmax (1.03-fold) in patients with cancer [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. In Vitro Studies Effect of Transporters on Copanlisib: Copanlisib is substrate of P-gp and BCRP, but not substrate for organic cation transporter (OCT) 1, OCT2, and OCT3, organic anion transporter (OAT) and OAT3, organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1(MATE1) or MATE2-K.Effect of Copanlisib on CYP and non-CYP Enzymes Copanlisib is not an inhibitor of the metabolism of drugs that are substrates of the major CYP isoforms (CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4) or uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase isoforms (UGT) or dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) at therapeutic 60 mg dose plasma concentrations. Copanlisib is not an inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2B6 and CYP3A. Effect of Copanlisib on Drug Transporter SubstratesCopanlisib is not an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, multi-drug resistance-associated protein (MRP2), bile salt export pump (BSEP), OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, and MATE1 at therapeutic 60 mg dose plasma concentrations.Copanlisib is an inhibitor of MATE2-K (IC50: 0.09 uM). Inhibition may occur after copanlisib infusion at approved recommended dosage. The clinical significance of this potential inhibition on plasma concentrations of concomitantly administered drugs that are MATE2-K substrates is unknown.

LACTATION SECTION.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of copanlisib and/or metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production. Following administration of radiolabeled copanlisib to lactating rats, approximately 2% of the radioactivity was secreted into milk; the milk to plasma ratio of radioactivity was 25-fold. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed child from copanlisib, advise lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with ALIQOPA and for at least month after the last dose.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.
12.1Mechanism of Action Copanlisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) with inhibitory activity predominantly against PI3K- and PI3K- isoforms expressed in malignant cells. Copanlisib has been shown to induce tumor cell death by apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation of primary malignant cell lines. Copanlisib inhibits several key cell-signaling pathways, including B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, CXCR12 mediated chemotaxis of malignant cells, and NFB signaling in lymphoma cell lines.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.
13NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY 13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with copanlisib.Copanlisib did not cause genetic damage in in vitro or in vivo assays.Fertility studies with copanlisib were not conducted; however, adverse findings in male and female reproductive systems were observed in the repeat dose toxicity studies. Findings in the male rats and/or dogs included effects on the testes (germinal epithelial degeneration, decreased weight, and/or tubular atrophy), epididymides (spermatic debris, decreased weight, and/or oligospermia/aspermia), and prostate (reduced secretion and/or decreased weight). Findings in female rats included effects on ovaries (hemorrhage, hemorrhagic cysts, and decreased weight), uterus (atrophy, decreased weight), vagina (mononuclear infiltration), and dose-related reduction in the numbers of female rats in estrus.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of ALIQOPA increase dose-proportionally over to 93 mg (0.08 to 1.55 times the approved recommended dose) absolute dose range and exhibit linear pharmacokinetics (PK). There is no time-dependency and no accumulation in the PK of copanlisib. The geometric mean (range) steady state copanlisib exposure at 0.8 mg/kg (approximately the approved recommended dose of 60 mg) are 463 (range: 105 to 1670; SD: 584) ng/mL for Cmax and 1570 (range: 536 to 3410; SD: 338) ng.hr/mL for AUC0-25h. Distribution The in vitro human plasma protein binding of copanlisib is 84.2%. Albumin is the main binding protein. The in vitro mean blood-to-plasma ratio is 1.7 (range: 1.5 to 2.1). The geometric mean volume of distribution is 871 (range: 423 to 2150; SD: 479) L. Elimination The geometric mean terminal elimination half-life of copanlisib is 39.1 (range: 14.6 to 82.4; SD: 15.0) hours. The geometric mean clearance is 17.9 (range: 7.3 to 51.4; SD: 8.5) L/hr. Metabolism Approximately >90% of copanlisib metabolism is mediated by CYP3A and <10% by CYP1A1. The M-1 metabolite accounts for 5% of total radioactivity AUC and its pharmacological activity is comparable to the parent compound copanlisib for the tested kinases PI3KandPI3K.. Excretion Copanlisib is excreted approximately 50% as unchanged compound and 50% as metabolites in humans. Following single intravenous dose of 12 mg (0.2 times the recommended approved dose) radiolabeled copanlisib, approximately 64% of the administered dose was recovered in feces and 22% in urine within 20 to 34 days. Unchanged copanlisib represented approximately 30% of the administered dose in feces and 15% in urine. Metabolites resulting from CYP450-mediated oxidation metabolism accounted for 41% of the administered dose.. Specific Populations Age (20 to 90 years), gender, race (White, Asian, Hispanic, and Black), smoking status, body weight (41 to 130 kg), and mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment [CLcr >= 15 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault (C-G) equation] had no clinically significant effect on the PK of copanlisib. The PK of copanlisib in patients with end stage renal disease (CLcr 15 mL/min by C-G equation) with or without dialysis is unknown.. Patients with Hepatic Impairment Based on population PK analysis in patients with cancer, mild hepatic impairment [total bilirubin <= x ULN and AST ULN, or total bilirubin 1-1.5 ULN and any AST] had no clinically relevant effect on the PK of copanlisib.In dedicated PK study evaluating single intravenous dose of 12 mg (0.2 times the recommended approved dose of 60 mg) of ALIQOPA in subjects with hepatic impairment, the geometric mean of total copanlisib Cmax and AUC increased 1.38-fold and 1.71-fold, respectively, in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) as compared to normal hepatic function. The geometric mean unbound AUC of copanlisib was increased by 1.23-fold with no effect on Cmax. The PK of copanlisib in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh or total bilirubin 3-10 ULN and any AST) is unknown.. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies Effect of CYP3A and P-gp Inducers on CopanlisibRifampin, strong CYP3A and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter inducer, administered at dose of 600 mg once daily for 12 days with single intravenous dose of 60 mg ALIQOPA in patients with cancer resulted in 60% decrease in the mean AUC and 12% decrease in Cmax of copanlisib [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].Effect of CYP3A, P-gp and BCRP Inhibitors on CopanlisibItraconazole, strong CYP3A inhibitor and P-gp and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) transporter inhibitor, administered at dose of 200 mg once daily for 10 days increased the mean AUC of single intravenous dose of 60 mg ALIQOPA by 53% (or 1.53-fold) with no effect on Cmax (1.03-fold) in patients with cancer [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. In Vitro Studies Effect of Transporters on Copanlisib: Copanlisib is substrate of P-gp and BCRP, but not substrate for organic cation transporter (OCT) 1, OCT2, and OCT3, organic anion transporter (OAT) and OAT3, organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1(MATE1) or MATE2-K.Effect of Copanlisib on CYP and non-CYP Enzymes Copanlisib is not an inhibitor of the metabolism of drugs that are substrates of the major CYP isoforms (CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4) or uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase isoforms (UGT) or dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) at therapeutic 60 mg dose plasma concentrations. Copanlisib is not an inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2B6 and CYP3A. Effect of Copanlisib on Drug Transporter SubstratesCopanlisib is not an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, multi-drug resistance-associated protein (MRP2), bile salt export pump (BSEP), OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, and MATE1 at therapeutic 60 mg dose plasma concentrations.Copanlisib is an inhibitor of MATE2-K (IC50: 0.09 uM). Inhibition may occur after copanlisib infusion at approved recommended dosage. The clinical significance of this potential inhibition on plasma concentrations of concomitantly administered drugs that are MATE2-K substrates is unknown.

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and the mechanism of action, ALIQOPA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of copanlisib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal death and fetal abnormalities at maternal doses approximately 12% of the recommended dose for patients (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus.Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals received intravenous doses of copanlisib of 0, 0.75, or mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Administration of copanlisib at the dose of mg/kg/day resulted in maternal toxicity and no live fetuses. Copanlisib administration at the dose of 0.75 mg/kg/day was maternally toxic and resulted in embryo-fetal death (increased resorptions, increased post-implantation loss, and decreased numbers of fetuses/dam). The dose of 0.75 mg/kg/day also resulted in increased incidence of fetal gross external (domed head, malformed eyeballs or eyeholes), soft tissue (hydrocephalus internus, ventricular septal defects, major vessel malformations), and skeletal (dysplastic forelimb bones, malformed ribs and vertebrae, and pelvis shift) abnormalities. The dose of 0.75 mg/kg/day (4.5 mg/m2 body surface area) in rats is approximately 12% of the recommended dose for patients.Following administration of radiolabeled copanlisib to pregnant rats approximately 1.5% of the radioactivity (copanlisib and metabolites) reached the fetal compartment.

In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals received intravenous doses of copanlisib of 0, 0.75, or mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Administration of copanlisib at the dose of mg/kg/day resulted in maternal toxicity and no live fetuses. Copanlisib administration at the dose of 0.75 mg/kg/day was maternally toxic and resulted in embryo-fetal death (increased resorptions, increased post-implantation loss, and decreased numbers of fetuses/dam).

The dose of 0.75 mg/kg/day (4.5 mg/m2 body surface area) in rats is approximately 12% of the recommended dose for patients.Following administration of radiolabeled copanlisib to pregnant rats approximately 1.5% of the radioactivity (copanlisib and metabolites) reached the fetal compartment. 8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of copanlisib and/or metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production. Following administration of radiolabeled copanlisib to lactating rats, approximately 2% of the radioactivity was secreted into milk; the milk to plasma ratio of radioactivity was 25-fold. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed child from copanlisib, advise lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with ALIQOPA and for at least month after the last dose.. 8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing ALIQOPA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations 8.1)]. Conduct pregnancy testing prior to initiation of ALIQOPA treatment. Contraception Females Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use highly effective contraception (contraception with failure rate <1% per year) during treatment with ALIQOPA and for at least one month after the last dose. Males Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use highly effective contraception during treatment with ALIQOPA and for at least one month after the last dose.. Infertility There are no data on the effect of ALIQOPA on human fertility. Due to the mechanism of action of copanlisib, and findings in animal studies, adverse effects on reproduction, including fertility, are expected [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. 8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients.. 8.5Geriatric Use No dose adjustment is necessary in patients >=65 years of age. Of 168 patients with follicular lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies treated with ALIQOPA, 48% were age 65 or older while 16% were age 75 or older. No clinically relevant differences in efficacy were observed between elderly and younger patients. In patients >=65 years of age, 30% experienced serious adverse reactions and 21% experienced adverse reactions leading to discontinuation. In the patients <65 years of age, 23% experienced serious adverse reactions and 11% experienced adverse reactions leading to discontinuation.. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment Reduce ALIQOPA dose to 45 mg for patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <=1 upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 ULN and any AST). ALIQOPA has not been studied in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Advise patients of potential risk to fetus and to use effective contraception (5.7, 8.1, 8.3).. 5.1Infections Serious, including fatal, infections occurred in 19% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy. The most common serious infection was pneumonia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and withhold ALIQOPA for Grade and higher infection [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].Serious pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) occurred in 0.6% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Before initiating treatment with ALIQOPA, consider PJP prophylaxis for populations at risk. Withhold ALIQOPA in patients with suspected PJP infection of any grade. If confirmed, treat infection until resolution, then resume ALIQOPA at previous dose with concomitant PJP prophylaxis [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. 5.2 Hyperglycemia Grade or hyperglycemia (blood glucose 250 mg/dL or greater) occurred in 41% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Serious hyperglycemic events occurred in 2.8% of patients. Treatment with ALIQOPA may result in infusion-related hyperglycemia. Blood glucose levels typically peaked to hours post-infusion and subsequently declined to baseline levels for majority of patients; blood glucose levels remained elevated in 17.7% of patients one day after ALIQOPA infusion. Of 155 patients with baseline HbA1c <5.7%, 16 (10%) patients had HbA1c >6.5% at the end of treatment.Of the twenty patients with diabetes mellitus treated in CHRONOS-1, seven developed Grade hyperglycemia and two discontinued treatment. Patients with diabetes mellitus should only be treated with ALIQOPA following adequate glucose control and should be monitored closely.Achieve optimal blood glucose control before starting each ALIQOPA infusion. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of hyperglycemia [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. 5.3Hypertension Grade hypertension (systolic 160 mmHg or greater or diastolic 100 mmHg or greater) occurred in 26% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Serious hypertensive events occurred in 0.9% of 317 patients. Treatment with ALIQOPA may result in infusion-related hypertension. The mean change of systolic and diastolic BP from baseline to hours post-infusion on Cycle Day was 16.8 mmHg and 7.8 mmHg, respectively. The mean BP started decreasing approximately hours post-infusion; BP remained elevated for to hours after the start of the ALIQOPA infusion. Optimal BP control should be achieved before starting each ALIQOPA infusion. Monitor BP pre- and post-infusion. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of hypertension [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. 5.4Non-Infectious Pneumonitis Non-infectious pneumonitis occurred in 5% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Withhold ALIQOPA and conduct diagnostic examination of patient who is experiencing pulmonary symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, or interstitial infiltrates on radiologic exam. Patients with pneumonitis thought to be caused by ALIQOPA have been managed by withholding ALIQOPA and administration of systemic corticosteroids. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of non-infectious pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. 5.5Neutropenia Grade or neutropenia occurred in 24% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy. Serious neutropenic events occurred in 1.3% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor blood counts at least weekly during treatment with ALIQOPA. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of neutropenia [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. 5.6Severe Cutaneous Reactions Grade and cutaneous reactions occurred in 2.8% and 0.6% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy, respectively [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Serious cutaneous reaction events were reported in 0.9%. The reported events included dermatitis exfoliative, exfoliative rash, pruritus, and rash (including maculo-papular rash). Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of severe cutaneous reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. 5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, ALIQOPA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of copanlisib to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal death and fetal abnormalities in rats at maternal doses as low as 0.75 mg/kg/day (4.5 mg/m2/day body surface area) corresponding to approximately 12% the recommended dose for patients. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least one month after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].
