6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of REDEMPLO cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The safety of REDEMPLO was evaluated in 75 patients with FCS enrolled in Trial 1 (NCT05089084) [see Clinical Studies (14)]. In this trial, patients received at least one dose of REDEMPLO 25 mg (N=26) or 50 mg of plozasiran (N=24) and 25 patients received placebo. Plozasiran 50 mg is not an approved dosage regimen for FCS [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. Across treatment groups, the mean age was 46 years and 49% of patients were male. Seventy-three percent (73%) of patients were White, 21% were Asian, and 5% were reported as other races; 3% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Fifty (50) patients were exposed to REDEMPLO for a median of 11.6 months; 26 patients were treated with REDEMPLO 25 mg every 3 months for a median of 11.8 months.

Adverse reactions led to discontinuation of treatment in 3 (6.0%) of REDEMPLO-treated patients and 0% of placebo-treated patients. The reasons for REDEMPLO treatment discontinuation were hyperglycemia and urticaria. Adverse reactions occurring in greater than or equal to 10% of REDEMPLO-treated patients and greater than 5% more frequently than in placebo-treated patients are listed below in Table 1.

Table 1. Adverse Reactions Occurring in Greater than or Equal to 10% of REDEMPLO-treated Patients and Greater than 5% More Frequently than with Placebo in Trial 1

Laboratory Tests

Increase in Glucose: Mean increases from baseline in HbA1c (up to 0.36%) and fasting glucose (up to 9 mg/dL) were observed over time in the 25 mg REDEMPLO group. The incidence of hyperglycemia (defined as adverse events consistent with diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia, new antidiabetic medication, or laboratory values) was higher in 25 mg REDEMPLO-treated patients without a medical history of diabetes at baseline (40%) compared to placebo-treated patients (20%).

Increase in Liver Enzymes: Increases from baseline liver enzymes within the normal range were observed with plozasiran treatment in the FCS population. These increases occurred within the first 3 months of treatment and stabilized.

Increase in LDL-cholesterol: Increases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total apolipoprotein B (apoB) were observed in the FCS population treated with REDEMPLO compared to those treated with placebo [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Despite increases in the LDL-C, the average LDL-C value at Month 12 was less than 50 mg/dL in the 25 mg REDEMPLO group.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

There are insufficient data on REDEMPLO use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Patients with FCS are at risk for pancreatitis during pregnancy because of defects in lipid metabolism and increased triglyceride levels (see Clinical Considerations).

In animal reproduction studies, no adverse drug-related developmental effects were observed in pregnant rats or rabbits with subcutaneous administration of plozasiran during organogenesis up to 23 and 140 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) (see Data).

The 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 to 4% and 15 to 20% respectively.

Clinical Considerations

Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk

Triglyceride levels increase during the third trimester of pregnancy. In patients with underlying defects in lipid metabolism, such as FCS, severe gestational hypertriglyceridemia may occur, increasing the risk of acute pancreatitis during pregnancy.

Data

Animal Data

In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats were administered plozasiran by subcutaneous injection at 0, 5, 15, or 60 mg/kg, or 60 mg/kg rat specific surrogate, once daily during the period of organogenesis (gestational days 6 to 17). There was no evidence of drug-related embryo-fetal toxicity or fetal malformations up to 60 mg/kg plozasiran [23 times the MRHD based on body surface area (BSA)]. At maternally toxic doses there were embryo-fetal toxicities including increases in post-implantation loss and mean number of late resorptions at 60 mg/kg (23 times the MRHD based on BSA), early deliveries, reduced fetal body weight, and fetal skeletal developmental variations at ≥15 mg/kg (6 times the MRHD based on BSA). No adverse embryo-fetal developmental effects were observed from a single subcutaneous administration of 50 mg/kg plozasiran (19 times the MRHD based on BSA) or the rat specific surrogate to pregnant rats on gestation day 10.

In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits, plozasiran was administered by subcutaneous injection at 0, 30, 60, or 180 mg/kg/day once daily during the period of organogenesis (gestational days 7 to 19). No evidence (of embryo-fetal toxicity or developmental abnormalities) was observed up to 180 mg/kg (140 times the MRHD based on BSA).

In a rat pre- and post-natal development study, plozasiran was administered at 0, 8, 24, or 80 mg/kg by subcutaneous injection once a week from gestation day 6 through lactation day 17. Plozasiran increased the number of females with stillborn offspring and the increase in stillborn offspring per litter resulted in reductions in live birth index at 80 mg/kg (31 times the MRHD based on BSA). There were decreases in offspring body weight and offspring survival at ≥24 mg/kg (9 times the MRHD based on BSA). No adverse effects were noted on offspring development up to 80 mg/kg (31 times the MRHD based on BSA).

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

There is no information regarding the presence of plozasiran in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Oligonucleotide-based products typically have poor oral bioavailability. Therefore, it is considered that if plozasiran is present in breastmilk, it is unlikely to lead to clinically relevant levels in breastfed infants. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for REDEMPLO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from REDEMPLO or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4 Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of REDEMPLO in pediatric patients with FCS have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Of the 75 patients with FCS randomized in Trial 1, 9 (12%) were 65 years of age or older, including 2 (3%) patients who were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of REDEMPLO have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.

8.6 Renal Impairment

The recommended dosage of REDEMPLO in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (eGFR ≥30 to <90 mL/min) is the same as those with normal renal function. The impact of severe renal impairment or end stage renal disease is not known [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

8.7 Hepatic Impairment

The recommended dosage of REDEMPLO in patients with mild hepatic impairment [total bilirubin ≤1 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and AST >1 times ULN, or total bilirubin >1.0 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST] is the same as those with normal hepatic function. The impact of moderate or severe hepatic impairment is not known [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

11 DESCRIPTION

REDEMPLO contains plozasiran (present as plozasiran sodium), a small interfering RNA (siRNA) that degrades apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) mRNA by RNA interference. Plozasiran contains a covalently linked ligand containing three N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues to facilitate delivery to hepatocytes. The 2´ positions of the ribose subunits in plozasiran are modified with either fluorine (2´F) or methoxy (2´O-Me) groups. Each strand of plozasiran also includes multiple phosphorothioates.

The molecular formula of plozasiran sodium is C₄₉₃H₆₁₁F₁₁N₁₆₄Na₄₃O₃₁₁P₄₃S₇ and its molecular weight is 16,563.98 Da. Plozasiran sodium is freely soluble in water. Plozasiran has the following structural formula:

Abbreviations: A = 2’-O-methyladenosine; A = 2’-fluoro(2’-deoxy-2’-fluoro)adenosine; C = 2’-O-methylcytidine; C = 2’-fluorocytidine; G = 2’-O-methylguanosine; G = 2’-fluoroguanosine; I = 2’-O-methylinosine; U = 2’-O-methyluridine; U = 2’-fluorouridine; - (single line) = phosphodiester linkage; = (double line) = phosphorothioate linkage; · (middle dot) depicts base pairing between the two strands

REDEMPLO is a sterile, preservative-free, clear, colorless to yellow solution for subcutaneous use in a prefilled syringe. Each syringe contains 0.5 mL of solution containing 25 mg plozasiran (present as 27 mg plozasiran sodium), sodium chloride to adjust tonicity, and water for injection.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Plozasiran is a siRNA conjugated with GalNAc that degrades the apoC-III mRNA through the RNA interference mechanism resulting in reduced levels of hepatic and serum apoC-III protein. Reduction of apoC-III protein leads to increased clearance of serum triglycerides.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

In Trial 1 [see Clinical Studies (14)], following the recommended dose of 25 mg administered every 3 months in patients with FCS, REDEMPLO reduced median fasting serum apoC-III protein. The placebo-corrected median percent change in fasting serum apoC-III protein from baseline was -90% at 1 month, -93% at 3 months, -82% at 6 months, -91% at 10 months, and -87% at 12 months.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

At a dose 4 times the recommended dose of 25 mg administered every 3 months, clinically significant QTc interval prolongation was not observed.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

REDEMPLO exhibited linear and time-invariant pharmacokinetics following subcutaneous injections within the dose range of 10 mg to 100 mg. The following pharmacokinetic parameters were observed in healthy adults after receiving a 25 mg dose of REDEMPLO.

Absorption

Plozasiran peak plasma concentration (C_max) is 68.5 ng/mL. The median time to reach C_max (T_max) is 6 hours.

Distribution

Plozasiran is 78% protein bound in vitro at the clinically relevant plasma concentrations. Following subcutaneous multiple administration of 25 mg plozasiran, the apparent volume of distribution is approximately 146 L. Plozasiran is distributed in plasma and extracellular body water before its uptake by hepatocytes to decrease apoC-III mRNA expression and reduce serum triglycerides.

Elimination

The terminal elimination half-life of plozasiran in plasma is approximately 3 to 4 hours. The mean apparent systemic clearance is 33.8 L/hour.

Metabolism

Plozasiran is primarily metabolized by nucleases to shorter oligonucleotides of varying lengths.

Excretion

Approximately 16 to 19% of REDEMPLO dose is excreted in urine.

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in plozasiran pharmacokinetics based on age, sex, race, mild and moderate renal impairment (eGFR ≥30 to <90 mL/min), or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤1 times ULN and AST >1 times ULN, or total bilirubin >1.0 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) were found in the population pharmacokinetic analysis. The impact of severe renal impairment, end-stage renal impairment, or moderate to severe hepatic impairment is not known.

Drug Interaction Studies

In Vitro Assessment of Drug Interactions

CYP450 Enzymes

Plozasiran is not a substrate, inhibitor, or inducer of CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations.

Transporter Systems

Plozasiran is not a substrate or an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MATE2-K.

12.6 Immunogenicity

The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of ADAs in the trial described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of plozasiran.

In Trial 1, none of the 50 FCS-patients treated with REDEMPLO over a period of 12 months developed treatment-induced or treatment-boosted ADAs. Because ADAs were not observed in the limited number of REDEMPLO-treated patients, the effect of ADAs on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness of REDEMPLO products is unknown.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenesis

In a 26-week study in RasH2Tg mice, plozasiran was administered subcutaneously once every 8 weeks at dose levels of 30, 60, and 120 mg/kg. Plozasiran was not carcinogenic up to the highest tested dose of 120 mg/kg (23-times MRHD based on BSA).

Mutagenesis

Plozasiran was not mutagenic or clastogenic in a standard battery of genetic toxicity assays, including a bacterial mutation (Ames) assay, and in vitro and in vivo mouse micronucleus assays.

Impairment of Fertility

In a fertility and early embryonic-development study, male and female rats were administered subcutaneously with vehicle or plozasiran at the doses of 12.5, 25 or 50 mg/kg or rat specific surrogate at 25 mg/kg. Males were treated once weekly before and throughout cohabitation, while females received treatment either once every 3 days or once weekly before and through mating until gestation day 6. There were no adverse effects on mating and fertility in males or females up to 50 mg/kg corresponding to 19-times the MRHD, based on BSA.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

The efficacy of REDEMPLO was demonstrated in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial in adult patients with genetically confirmed or clinically diagnosed FCS maintained on a low-fat diet(≤20 grams fat per day) (Trial 1; NCT05089084). Patients were randomized to receive four total doses of REDEMPLO 25 mg (n=26) or matching placebo (n=25), injected subcutaneously once every 3 months over a 12-month treatment period

The diagnosis of FCS was based on adults with a screening fasting TG ≥880 mg/dL refractory to lipid-lowering therapy, with a history of elevated triglycerides (in excess of 1,000 mg/dL at least three times), and evidence of FCS by known genotypes, evidence of low lipoprotein lipase activity, or a clinical diagnosis. In this trial, for patients with clinically diagnosed FCS, the inclusion criteria specified at least one of the following: recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis not caused by alcohol or cholelithiasis; recurrent hospitalizations for severe abdominal pain without other explainable cause; childhood pancreatitis; or family history of hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis.

Patient demographics were generally similar across the treatment groups [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. At enrollment, the percentage of patients with genetic confirmation of FCS was 46% in the REDEMPLO 25 mg group compared with 56% in the placebo group; diabetes was 15% in the REDEMPLO 25 mg group compared with 32% in the placebo group; and a history of documented acute pancreatitis in the prior 5 years was 54% in the REDEMPLO 25 mg group compared with 68% in the placebo group. Patients in the REDEMPLO 25 mg and placebo groups were treated with statins (43%), omega-3 fatty acids (29%), fibrates (69%), or no background TG lowering therapies (25%) at study entry. Mean (SD) and median fasting TG levels at baseline were 2,311 (1,258) mg/dL and 2,030 mg/dL, respectively (range of 747 to 5,596 mg/dL).

The primary efficacy endpoint was percent change in fasting triglycerides from baseline at Month 10 (average of 2 assessments, 2 to 7 days apart). The median difference between REDEMPLO 25 mg and the placebo group in percent change in fasting triglyceride levels from baseline to Month 10 was -58.7% (95% CI: -89.6, -27.9; p< 0.0001). For additional results see Table 2.

Table 2: Baseline and Percent Changes from Baseline in Lipid/Lipoprotein Parameters in Patients with FCS at Month 10 in Trial 1

Median percent change in TG from baseline (Figure 1) and median absolute TG values (Figure 2) over time demonstrated a consistent lowering effect during the 12-month treatment period.

Figure 1: Median Percent Change from Baseline in Fasting Triglycerides Over Time in Trial 1

Figure 2: Median Absolute Fasting Triglyceride Levels (mg/dL) in Trial 1

Over the 12-month treatment period, the numerical incidence of acute pancreatitis in patients treated with REDEMPLO 25 mg was lower compared with placebo [2 (8%) patients in the REDEMPLO 25 mg group compared with 5 (20%) patients in the placebo group].
