Description of Selected Adverse Reactions Gastrointestinal Disorders Gastrointestinal disorders, predominantly nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain were reported in 69% of patients. In many cases, the episodes were of short duration (1-2 days) and the severity was mild to moderate. Hypocortisolism Hypocortisolism was reported at rate of 31% up to 12 weeks, and 18% from Weeks 12 to 26. The majority of cases were manageable by reducing the dose of ISTURISA and/or adding low-dose, short-term glucocorticoid therapy. Changes in Pituitary Tumor Volume An increase in the pituitary corticotroph tumor volume by greater than 20% from baseline was observed in 21/137 (15%) patients, while decrease in tumor volume by greater than 20% from baseline was observed in 24/137 (18%) patients at Week 48. Eight patients discontinued because of an increase in tumor volume. There was no correlation between tumor volume increase and increase in adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). There was no specific pattern of timing of the tumor volume increase and no relationship with the total and the last dose of ISTURISA used in the study. QTc Interval Prolongation Adverse reactions of QT prolongation and clinically relevant ECG findings were reported. Five (4%) patients had an event of QT prolongation, (2%) patients had QTcF increase of 60 ms from baseline, and 18 (13%) had new QTcF value of 450 ms [see Clinical Pharmacology 12.2)] Accumulation of Adrenal Hormone Precursors CYP11B1 inhibition by ISTURISA is associated with adrenal steroid precursor accumulation and testosterone increases [see Warnings and Precautions 5.3)] The incidence of adverse reactions potentially related to accumulation of adrenal hormone precursors was 42%. Hypertension and hypokalemia were the most common adrenal hormone precursor-related adverse reactions and occurred in 14% of patients and 17% of patients, respectively; edema was reported in 7% of patients, elevated blood pressure in 15% of patients. All cases of hypokalemia responded to treatment with potassium supplementation and/or mineralocorticoid antagonist therapy (e.g., spironolactone). One patient discontinued the study because of hypokalemia. In male patients testosterone levels generally increased but remained within normal limits; all patients were asymtomatic with no values above upper limit of normal (ULN) at last available value. In female patients, mean testosterone levels increased above the normal range from baseline and reversed when treatment was interrupted. The testosterone increase was associated with mild to moderate cases of hirsutism (12%) or acne (11%) in subset of female patients. Other Abnormal Laboratory Findings Decreased Absolute Neutrophil Count Of the 137 patients from the 48-week study, 18 patients had at least one measured absolute neutrophil count below the normal limit, patients had an adverse reaction of neutropenia. No concomitant infections and/or fever were reported in patients with decreased absolute neutrophil count. Elevated Liver Function Tests Liver enzyme elevations in patients treated with ISTURISA were infrequent, typically mild and reversed spontaneously or following dose adjustment. Most liver abnormal parameters occurred during the dose-titration period and no patients discontinued ISTURISA drug due to abnormal liver chemistry parameters. Five (4%) patients had ALT or AST 3 ULN during the 48-week clinical study.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenesis Carcinogenicity studies were conducted in Wistar Han rats and CD1 mice. Hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas occurred in male rats at >= 10 mg/kg and in females at 30 mg/kg (18- and 65-times the 30 mg twice daily maximum clinical dose, by AUC, respectively). Thyroid follicular adenoma/carcinoma was also observed in male rats at 30 mg/kg. Hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas occurred in male mice at >= 10 mg kg (6 times the maximum clinical dose, by AUC) but not in female mice at any dose <= 30 mg/kg (31 times the maximum clinical dose, by AUC). These findings are likely rodent specific and considered not relevant to humans. Genetic profiling studies support activation of hepatic constitutive androstane receptors as the likely tumorigenic mechanism in rodents and is not significant concern for human risk at clinical exposure to osilodrostat. Genotoxicity Genotoxicity assays conducted in vitro in bacterial systems and in vitro and in vivo in mammalian systems with and without metabolic activation indicate that there is no genotoxic risk in humans with osilodrostat. Impairment of Fertility In fertility and early embryonic-development study in Wistar Han rats, doses of 50 mg/kg (118 times the 30 mg twice daily maximum clinical dose, by AUC) resulted in changes to estrous cyclicity and impaired female fertility and embryo viability. No effect on reproductive performance in females was observed at mg/kg (8 times the maximum clinical dose). Fertility and reproductive performance were not affected in male rats up to 50 mg/kg (77 times the maximum clinical dose, by AUC).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Osilodrostat is cortisol synthesis inhibitor. It inhibits 11beta-hydroxylase (CYP11B1), the enzyme responsible for the final step of cortisol biosynthesis in the adrenal gland. In Chinese hamster lung cell line V79-4 that overexpresses human CYP11B1, adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase, osilodrostat inhibited the activity of human CYP11B1 dose-dependently with IC50 values of 2.5 +- 0.1 nM (n 4).. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. dose dependent increase was observed in 11-deoxycortisol, the cortisol precursor, and ACTH levels in patients with Cushings disease. Cardiac Electrophysiology thorough QT study in 86 male and female healthy volunteers showed maximum mean placebo-corrected QTcF interval increase of 1.73 ms [90% confidence interval (CI): 0.15, 3.31] at 10 mg dose, and 25.38 ms (90% CI: 23.53, 27.22) at 150 mg dose (up to 2.5 times the maximum recommended dosage) [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2)] The predicted mean placebo-corrected QTcF change from baseline at the highest recommended dose in clinical practice (30 mg twice daily) was estimated as 5.3 ms (90% CI: 4.2, 6.5), based on an interpolation of the data from the thorough QT Study and population PK analysis [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2)] . 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. AbsorptionOsilodrostat is absorbed with time of maximum observed concentration (T max) of approximately hour. Exposure (AUC inf and max) slightly increases over dose-proportionally within the therapeutic dose range of mg to 30 mg. Effect of Food In healthy volunteer study (N 20), subjects administered with single, 30 mg oral dose of ISTURISA film-coated tablets with high-fat meal resulted in reduction of AUC by 11% and max by 21%, respectively. The median max was delayed from to 2.5 hours. These changes are not considered to be clinically significant, therefore ISTURISA can be administered with or without food. Distribution The median apparent volume of distribution of osilodrostat is approximately 100 L. Protein binding is low (36.4%). The osilodrostat blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.85. Elimination The elimination half-life of osilodrostat is approximately hours. In an absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion study, the majority of the radioactivity dose of osilodrostat is eliminated in the urine (mean: 90.6% of administered dose) with only minor amount eliminated in the feces (1.58% of dose). The low percentage of the dose eliminated in the urine as unchanged osilodrostat (5.2%) indicates that metabolism is the major clearance pathway in humans. Metabolism Multiple CYP enzymes (i.e., CYP3A4, CYP2B6, and CYP2D6) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases contribute to osilodrostat metabolism and no single enzyme contributes greater than 25% to the total clearance. The metabolites are not expected to contribute to the pharmacological effect of osilodrostat. Specific Populations Age and gender have no significant impact on osilodrostat exposure in adults. Race/Ethnicity The relative bioavailability in Asian patients is approximately 20% higher compared to that of non-Asian, along with higher max and max, compared to other ethnicities. However, the difference is not clinically significant. Patients with Renal Impairment Osilodrostat exposure was similar in the three renal function groups [normal, severe, and end stage renal disease (ESRD) groups] and thus study was not conducted in mild and moderate renal impairment groups. The results showed that the PK of osilodrostat was not influenced by varying degrees of renal impairment to any clinically significant extent [see Dosage and Administration 2.4), Use in Specific Populations 8.6)] Patients with Hepatic Impairment There was trend of increasing AUC inf to osilodrostat in moderate and severe hepatic impaired subjects (geo-mean ratios are 1.44 and 2.66, respectively) as compared to normal subjects. Exposures (C max and AUC) of osilodrostat in the mild hepatic impairment group were similar to those in the normal group [see Dosage and Administration 2.5), Use in Specific Populations 8.7)] Drug Interaction In healthy volunteer study (N 20) using single dose of osilodrostat (50 mg) and probe drugs cocktail, osilodrostat showed inhibition potential on CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5 isozymes with 2.5-, 1.9-, 1.5- and 1.5-fold increase in caffeine, omeprazole, dextromethorphan, and midazolam exposure, respectively [see Drug Interactions 7.1), 7.2)] There was no significant impact of osilodrostat (30 mg twice daily for 12 days) on the exposure of oral contraceptives containing 0.03 mg estradiol and 0.15 mg levonorgestrel in healthy female subjects.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES. The safety and efficacy of ISTURISA was assessed in 48-week, multicenter study (called the Core Period) that consisted of four study periods as follows: Period 1: 12-week, open-label, dose titration period Period 2: 12-week, open-label, maintenance treatment period Period 3: 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal treatment period which provided the data for the primary efficacy endpoint Period 4: open-label treatment period of 14 to 24 weeks duration The trial enrolled Cushings disease patients with persistent or recurrent disease despite pituitary surgery or de novo patients for whom surgery was not indicated or who had refused surgery. The mean age at enrollment was 41 years; 77% of patients were female. There were 65% Caucasian, 28% Asian, 3% black, and 4% other race. Overall, 96% patients had received previous treatments for Cushings disease prior to entering the study, of which 88% had undergone surgery. Persistence or recurrence of Cushings disease was evidenced by the mean of three 24-hour UFC (mUFC) 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN). The mUFC (SD) at baseline was 1006 nmol/24 hr (1589), which corresponds to approximately x ULN. The median mUFC at baseline was 476 nmol/24 hr, which corresponds to approximately 3.5 ULN. Period (Week to 12) 137 patients received starting dose of mg ISTURISA orally twice daily that could be titrated up to maximum of 30 mg twice daily at no greater than 2-week intervals to achieve mUFC within the normal range. Individual dose adjustments were based on mUFC. The dose was increased if mUFC was above ULN and was reduced if mUFC was below the lower limit of normal (LLN), or if the patient had symptoms consistent with hypocortisolism and mUFC was in the lower part of the normal range.Period (Week 13 to 24) 130 patients entered Period 2. The daily dose for patients that achieved mUFC within the normal range in Period was maintained during Period 2. Patients who did not require further dose increase, tolerated the drug, and had mUFC <= ULN at Week 24 (end of Period 2) were to be considered responders and eligible to enter the Randomization Withdrawal phase (Period 3). Patients whose mUFC became elevated during Period could have their dose increased further, if tolerated, up to 30 mg twice daily. These patients were considered non-responders and did not enter Period but continued open-label treatment together with the patients who did not achieve normal mUFC at Week 12 and were followed for long-term safety and response to treatment. Period (Week 26 to 34) At Week 26, 71 patients were considered responders and were randomized 1:1 to continue receiving ISTURISA (n 36) or to switch to placebo (n 35) for weeks. Patients were stratified at randomization according to dose received at Week 24 (<= mg twice daily vs mg twice daily) and history of pituitary irradiation (yes/no). Patients were to remain on their assigned treatment and dose throughout Period if mUFC were within the normal range. Blinded dose reduction or temporary discontinuation for safety or tolerability reasons were permitted. Dose increases were not permitted during Period 3. Patients with mUFC increase 1.5 ULN or who required dose increase were considered non-responders and discontinued from Period but allowed to receive open-label treatment during Period 4. Period (Week 26 or 34 to 48) This period included patients who were not eligible for randomization (n 47) at Week 26, patients who were considered non-responders during Period (n 29), and patients who were considered responders during Period (n 41). Open-label treatment with ISTURISA continued in these patients until Week 48 when patients who maintained clinical benefit on ISTURISA, as judged by the Investigator, had an option to enter an extension period. Efficacy Assessment The primary efficacy endpoint of the study was to compare the percentage of complete responders at the end of the 8-week randomized withdrawal period (Period 3) between patients randomized to continue ISTURISA versus the patients switched to placebo. complete responder for the primary endpoint was defined as patient who had mUFC <= ULN based on central laboratory result at the end of Period (Week 34), and who neither discontinued randomized treatment or the study nor had any dose increase above their Week 26 dose. The key secondary endpoint was to assess the complete responder rate at the end of Period (Week 24). complete responder for the key secondary endpoint was defined as patient with mUFC <= ULN at Week 24 who did not require an increase in dose above the level established at the end of Period (Week 12). Patients who were missing mUFC assessment at Week 24 were counted as non-responders for the key secondary endpoint. Results At the end of Period 3, the percentage of complete responders for the primary endpoint was 86% and 29% in the ISTURISA and placebo groups, respectively Table 3). The difference in percentage of complete responders between ISTURISA and placebo groups was 57%, with 95% two-sided CI of (38, 76). The 95% CI were not presented by individual strata due to the small sample sizes of some of these strata.

The lower bound of this 95% CI exceeded 30%, the pre-specified threshold for statistical significance and minimum threshold for clinical benefit.At Week 48, 91/137 patients (66%) had normal mUFC levels.Variable decreases from baseline for blood pressure, glucose parameters, weight and weight circumference were observed at Week 48. However, because the study allowed initiation of anti-hypertensive and anti-diabetic medications and dose increases in patients already receiving such medications and the absence of control group, the individual contribution of ISTURISA or of anti-hypertensive and anti-diabetic medication adjustments cannot be clearly established.. Period 1: 12-week, open-label, dose titration period Period 2: 12-week, open-label, maintenance treatment period Period 3: 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal treatment period which provided the data for the primary efficacy endpoint Period 4: open-label treatment period of 14 to 24 weeks duration.

Repeat ECG within one week after treatment initiation, and as clinically indicated thereafter [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2)] . 2.2 Recommended Dosage, Titration, and Monitoring. Initiate dosing at mg orally twice daily, with or without food. Initially, titrate the dosage by to mg twice daily, no more frequently than every weeks based on the rate of cortisol changes, individual tolerability and improvement in signs and symptoms of Cushings disease. If patient tolerates ISTURISA dosage of 10 mg twice daily and continues to have elevated 24 hour urine free cortisol (UFC) levels above upper normal limit, the dosage can be titrated further by mg twice daily every weeks. Monitor cortisol levels from at least two 24-hour urine free cortisol collections every 1-2 weeks until adequate clinical response is maintained.

LACTATION SECTION.
8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere are no available data on the presence of osilodrostat in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions (such as adrenal insufficiency) in the breastfed infant, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with ISTURISA and for one week after the final dose.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.
12.1 Mechanism of Action. Osilodrostat is cortisol synthesis inhibitor. It inhibits 11beta-hydroxylase (CYP11B1), the enzyme responsible for the final step of cortisol biosynthesis in the adrenal gland. In Chinese hamster lung cell line V79-4 that overexpresses human CYP11B1, adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase, osilodrostat inhibited the activity of human CYP11B1 dose-dependently with IC50 values of 2.5 +- 0.1 nM (n 4).

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenesis Carcinogenicity studies were conducted in Wistar Han rats and CD1 mice. Hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas occurred in male rats at >= 10 mg/kg and in females at 30 mg/kg (18- and 65-times the 30 mg twice daily maximum clinical dose, by AUC, respectively). Thyroid follicular adenoma/carcinoma was also observed in male rats at 30 mg/kg. Hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas occurred in male mice at >= 10 mg kg (6 times the maximum clinical dose, by AUC) but not in female mice at any dose <= 30 mg/kg (31 times the maximum clinical dose, by AUC). These findings are likely rodent specific and considered not relevant to humans. Genetic profiling studies support activation of hepatic constitutive androstane receptors as the likely tumorigenic mechanism in rodents and is not significant concern for human risk at clinical exposure to osilodrostat. Genotoxicity Genotoxicity assays conducted in vitro in bacterial systems and in vitro and in vivo in mammalian systems with and without metabolic activation indicate that there is no genotoxic risk in humans with osilodrostat. Impairment of Fertility In fertility and early embryonic-development study in Wistar Han rats, doses of 50 mg/kg (118 times the 30 mg twice daily maximum clinical dose, by AUC) resulted in changes to estrous cyclicity and impaired female fertility and embryo viability. No effect on reproductive performance in females was observed at mg/kg (8 times the maximum clinical dose). Fertility and reproductive performance were not affected in male rats up to 50 mg/kg (77 times the maximum clinical dose, by AUC).

OVERDOSAGE SECTION.
10 OVERDOSAGE. Overdosage may result in severe hypocortisolism. Signs and symptoms suggestive of hypocortisolism may include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, low blood pressure, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dizziness, and syncope. In case of suspected overdosage, ISTURISA should be temporarily discontinued, cortisol levels should be checked, and if necessary, corticosteroid supplementation should be initiated. Close surveillance may be necessary, including monitoring of the QT interval, blood pressure, glucose, fluid, and electrolyte until the patients condition is stable.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics. dose dependent increase was observed in 11-deoxycortisol, the cortisol precursor, and ACTH levels in patients with Cushings disease. Cardiac Electrophysiology thorough QT study in 86 male and female healthy volunteers showed maximum mean placebo-corrected QTcF interval increase of 1.73 ms [90% confidence interval (CI): 0.15, 3.31] at 10 mg dose, and 25.38 ms (90% CI: 23.53, 27.22) at 150 mg dose (up to 2.5 times the maximum recommended dosage) [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2)] The predicted mean placebo-corrected QTcF change from baseline at the highest recommended dose in clinical practice (30 mg twice daily) was estimated as 5.3 ms (90% CI: 4.2, 6.5), based on an interpolation of the data from the thorough QT Study and population PK analysis [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2)].

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics. AbsorptionOsilodrostat is absorbed with time of maximum observed concentration (T max) of approximately hour. Exposure (AUC inf and max) slightly increases over dose-proportionally within the therapeutic dose range of mg to 30 mg. Effect of Food In healthy volunteer study (N 20), subjects administered with single, 30 mg oral dose of ISTURISA film-coated tablets with high-fat meal resulted in reduction of AUC by 11% and max by 21%, respectively. The median max was delayed from to 2.5 hours. These changes are not considered to be clinically significant, therefore ISTURISA can be administered with or without food. Distribution The median apparent volume of distribution of osilodrostat is approximately 100 L. Protein binding is low (36.4%). The osilodrostat blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.85. Elimination The elimination half-life of osilodrostat is approximately hours. In an absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion study, the majority of the radioactivity dose of osilodrostat is eliminated in the urine (mean: 90.6% of administered dose) with only minor amount eliminated in the feces (1.58% of dose). The low percentage of the dose eliminated in the urine as unchanged osilodrostat (5.2%) indicates that metabolism is the major clearance pathway in humans. Metabolism Multiple CYP enzymes (i.e., CYP3A4, CYP2B6, and CYP2D6) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases contribute to osilodrostat metabolism and no single enzyme contributes greater than 25% to the total clearance. The metabolites are not expected to contribute to the pharmacological effect of osilodrostat. Specific Populations Age and gender have no significant impact on osilodrostat exposure in adults. Race/Ethnicity The relative bioavailability in Asian patients is approximately 20% higher compared to that of non-Asian, along with higher max and max, compared to other ethnicities. However, the difference is not clinically significant. Patients with Renal Impairment Osilodrostat exposure was similar in the three renal function groups [normal, severe, and end stage renal disease (ESRD) groups] and thus study was not conducted in mild and moderate renal impairment groups. The results showed that the PK of osilodrostat was not influenced by varying degrees of renal impairment to any clinically significant extent [see Dosage and Administration 2.4), Use in Specific Populations 8.6)] Patients with Hepatic Impairment There was trend of increasing AUC inf to osilodrostat in moderate and severe hepatic impaired subjects (geo-mean ratios are 1.44 and 2.66, respectively) as compared to normal subjects. Exposures (C max and AUC) of osilodrostat in the mild hepatic impairment group were similar to those in the normal group [see Dosage and Administration 2.5), Use in Specific Populations 8.7)] Drug Interaction In healthy volunteer study (N 20) using single dose of osilodrostat (50 mg) and probe drugs cocktail, osilodrostat showed inhibition potential on CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5 isozymes with 2.5-, 1.9-, 1.5- and 1.5-fold increase in caffeine, omeprazole, dextromethorphan, and midazolam exposure, respectively [see Drug Interactions 7.1), 7.2)] There was no significant impact of osilodrostat (30 mg twice daily for 12 days) on the exposure of oral contraceptives containing 0.03 mg estradiol and 0.15 mg levonorgestrel in healthy female subjects.

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryThere are no available data on osilodrostat use in pregnant women to evaluate for drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with active Cushings Syndrome during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations). No adverse developmental outcomes were observed in reproduction studies in pregnant rats and rabbits when exposed to osilodrostat during organogenesis at doses that produced maternal exposures of and 0.5-times the 30 mg twice daily maximum clinical dose, by AUC. In rabbits, exposures associated with maternal toxicity at 7-times the maximum clinical dose resulted in decreased fetal viability. No adverse developmental outcomes were observed in pre- and postnatal development study with administration of osilodrostat to pregnant rats from organogenesis through lactation at 8-times the 30 mg twice daily maximum clinical dose (see Data). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Active Cushing Syndrome during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality (including gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, maternal death, miscarriage, fetal loss, and preterm birth). Data Animal Data Osilodrostat administered to pregnant Wistar Han rats from gestation day 6-17 at doses of 0.5, 5, 50 mg/kg did not adversely affect embryo-fetal development up to mg/kg (8-times the 30 mg twice daily maximum clinical dose, by AUC). Maternal toxicity, increased embryonic and fetal deaths, decreased fetal weights, and malformations occurred at 50 mg/kg (118-times the maximum clinical dose, by AUC).Osilodrostat administered to pregnant New Zealand rabbits from gestation day 7-20 at doses of 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg did not adversely affect embryo-fetal development at mg/kg (0.5-times the 30 mg twice daily maximum clinical dose, by AUC). Maternal toxicity, increased embryo resorption and decreased fetal viability was observed at >= 10mg/kg (7-times the maximum clinical dose, by AUC). Osilodrostat administered to Wistar Han rats from gestation day through lactation day 20 at doses of 1, 5, and 20 mg/kg did not adversely impact behavioral, developmental, or reproductive parameters up to mg/kg (~ times the 30 mg twice daily maximum clinical dose, by AUC). Delayed parturition and dystocia in maternal rats and decreased pup survival were observed at 20 mg/kg (43-times the maximum clinical dose, by AUC).

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. Hypocortisolism: Monitor patients closely for hypocortisolism and potentially life-threatening adrenal insufficiency. Dosage reduction or interruption may be necessary 5.1) QTc Prolongation: Perform electrocardiogram in all patients Use with caution in patients with risk factors for QTc prolongation 5.2) Elevations in Adrenal Hormone Precursors and Androgens: Monitor for hypokalemia, worsening of hypertension, edema, and hirsutism 5.3) Hypocortisolism: Monitor patients closely for hypocortisolism and potentially life-threatening adrenal insufficiency. Dosage reduction or interruption may be necessary 5.1) QTc Prolongation: Perform electrocardiogram in all patients Use with caution in patients with risk factors for QTc prolongation 5.2) Elevations in Adrenal Hormone Precursors and Androgens: Monitor for hypokalemia, worsening of hypertension, edema, and hirsutism 5.3) 5.1 Hypocortisolism. ISTURISA lowers cortisol levels and can lead to hypocortisolism and sometimes life-threatening adrenal insufficiency. Lowering of cortisol can cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dizziness. Significant lowering of serum cortisol may result in hypotension, abnormal electrolyte levels, and hypoglycemia [see Adverse Reactions 6)] Hypocortisolism can occur at any time during ISTURISA treatment. Evaluate patients for precipitating causes of hypocortisolism (infection, physical stress, etc.). Monitor 24-hour urine free cortisol, serum or plasma cortisol, and patients signs and symptoms periodically during ISTURISA treatment. Decrease or temporarily discontinue ISTURISA if urine free cortisol levels fall below the target range, there is rapid decrease in cortisol levels, and/or patients report symptoms of hypocortisolism. Stop ISTURISA and administer exogenous glucocorticoid replacement therapy if serum or plasma cortisol levels are below target range and patients have symptoms of adrenal insufficiency. Re-initiate ISTURISA at lower dose when urine free cortisol, serum or plasma cortisol levels are within target range, and/or patient symptoms have resolved. After ISTURISA discontinuation, cortisol suppression may persist beyond the hour half-life of ISTURISA. Educate patients on the symptoms associated with hypocortisolism and advise them to contact healthcare provider if they occur.. 5.2 QTc Prolongation. ISTURISA is associated with dose-dependent QT interval prolongation (maximum mean estimated QTcF increase of up to 5.3 ms at 30 mg), which may cause cardiac arrhythmias [see Adverse Reactions 6), Clinical Pharmacology 12.2)] Perform an ECG to obtain baseline QTc interval measurement prior to initiating therapy with ISTURISA and monitor for an effect on the QTc interval thereafter. Correct hypokalemia and/or hypomagnesemia prior to ISTURISA initiation and monitor periodically during treatment with ISTURISA. Correct electrolyte abnormalities if indicated. Consider temporary discontinuation of ISTURISA in the case of an increase in QTc interval 480 ms. Use caution in patients with risk factors for QT prolongation, (such as congenital long QT syndrome, congestive heart failure, bradyarrythmias, uncorrected electrolyte abnormalities, and concomitant medications known to prolong the QT interval) and consider more frequent ECG monitoring.. 5.3 Elevations in Adrenal Hormone Precursors and Androgens. ISTURISA blocks cortisol synthesis and may increase circulating levels of cortisol and aldosterone precursors (11-deoxy cortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone) and androgens. Elevated 11-deoxycorticosterone levels may activate mineralocorticoid receptors and cause hypokalemia, edema and hypertension [see Adverse Reactions 6)] Hypokalemia should be corrected prior to initiating ISTURISA. Monitor patients treated with ISTURISA for hypokalemia, worsening of hypertension and edema. ISTURISA-induced hypokalemia should be treated with intravenous or oral potassium supplementation based on event severity. If hypokalemia persists despite potassium supplementation, consider adding mineralocorticoid antagonists. ISTURISA dose reduction or discontinuation may be necessary. Accumulation of androgens may lead to hirsutism, hypertrichosis and acne (in females). Inform patients of the symptoms associated with hyperandrogenism and advise them to contact healthcare provider if they occur.
