Leaflet TRYNGOLZA 80mg solution for injection in pre-filled pen

Indicated for: dyslipidemia

Route of administration: injectable

Substance: olezarsen (lipid-lowering agent)

Olezarsen is a medicine used in adults with familial chylomicronaemia syndrome, a rare genetic condition in which blood triglycerides can become extremely high. Very high triglycerides increase the risk of pancreatitis, a painful and sometimes serious inflammation of the pancreas. The medicine is used together with the diet recommended by your specialist.

It acts on the production of a protein called apolipoprotein C-III, which is involved in fat metabolism. By lowering this protein, olezarsen can help reduce triglyceride levels. It is given as a subcutaneous injection, usually once every four weeks, following the training and schedule provided by your healthcare team.

Common side effects include redness, pain, swelling or skin discolouration at the injection site, joint pain, and a reduced platelet count. Platelets help blood clot. Tell your doctor if you notice unusual bruising, bleeding, small red spots on the skin, fever, or injection-site reactions that are severe or do not settle.

Olezarsen does not replace a strict low-fat diet or regular triglyceride monitoring. Periodic blood tests are needed, including platelet counts and lipid measurements. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have other important illnesses. Severe abdominal pain with nausea or vomiting may suggest pancreatitis and needs urgent medical assessment.

Olezarsen has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment and shouldonly be used in these patients if the anticipated clinical benefit outweighs the risk.

Paediatric population

The safety and efficacy of this medicinal product in children and adolescents below 18 years of agehave not yet been established. No data are available (see section 5.1).

Method of administration

This medicinal product is intended for subcutaneous use only. It should not be administeredintramuscularly.

Each pre-filled pen is for single use only.

Patients and/or caregivers should be trained in the administration of this medicinal product inaccordance with the comprehensive instructions for use provided at the end of the package leaflet.

This medicinal product should be administered into the abdomen or front of the thigh. The back of theupper arm can also be used as an injection site if a healthcare provider or caregiver administers theinjection. It should not be injected into skin that is bruised, tender, red, or hard, into scars or damagedskin; the area around the navel should be avoided.

Some patients might not be responsive to the treatment after 6 months, in such a case thediscontinuation of olezarsen should be considered on an individual basis by the prescribing physician.

For instructions on handling of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6.

4.3 Contraindications

Ηypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Hypersensitivity reactions

Hypersensitivity reactions (including symptoms of diffuse erythema and chills) have been reported inpatients treated with Tryngolza (see section 4.8). If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs,

Tryngolza must be discontinued immediately and appropriate therapy initiated.

General

Limited safety data exist for olezarsen use in FCS patients at the time of marketing authorisation.

While no serious risks of thrombocytopenia, hepatotoxicity, or renal toxicity were identified duringclinical development, these adverse reactions have been observed with some antisenseoligonucleotides and cannot be completely excluded.

Use in patients with low platelet counts

Some patients with FCS are susceptible to platelet count variability over time as part of the naturalhistory and progression of the disease. There are limited data available on the use of olezarsen in FCSpatients with platelet count < 100 000/mm3.

Excipient with known effect
Sodium

This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per 80 mg dose, that is to sayessentially ‘sodium-free’.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

No interaction studies have been performed.

In vitro studies show that olezarsen is not a substrate or inhibitor of transporters, does not interact withhighly plasma protein bound medicines, and is not an inhibitor or inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP)enzymes. Oligonucleotide therapeutics, including olezarsen, are not typically substrates of CYPenzymes. Therefore, olezarsen is not expected to cause or be affected by interactions mediated throughtransporters, plasma protein binding or CYP enzymes.

Tryngolza can be used with other lipid-lowering medicines, for example statins and fibrates.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

There are no data from the use of olezarsen in pregnant women.

Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity(see section 5.3).

As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid the use of Tryngolza during pregnancy andwomen of child-bearing potential should practice effective contraception.

Breast-feeding

There is no information on the excretion of olezarsen/metabolites in human milk, the effects ofolezarsen on breastfed newborns/infants, or the effects of olezarsen on milk production in treatedwomen (see section 5.3).

The unconjugated antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), which shares the same nucleotide sequence butlacks N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), was present in the milk of lactating mice at very low levels.

Oligonucleotide-based products typically have poor oral bioavailability. Due to the poor oralbioavailability of this medicinal product, it is considered unlikely that low levels present in humanmilk will lead to clinically relevant levels in breastfed newborns/infants.

A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded.

A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue/abstain from therapytaking into account the benefit of breast feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman.

Fertility

No clinical data on the effect of this medicinal product on human fertility are available.

No adverse effects of olezarsen on fertility were seen in mice (see section 5.3).

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Olezarsen has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

4.8 Undesirable effects

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: lipid modifying agents, other lipid modifying agents, anatomicaltherapeutic chemical (ATC) code: not yet assigned

Mechanism of action

Olezarsen is an antisense oligonucleotide-triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc3) conjugatethat causes degradation of apolipoprotein C3 (apoC-III) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) throughselective binding to its mRNA, which leads to ribonuclease H1 (RNase H1)-mediated cleavage ofapoC-III mRNA. Olezarsen is perfectly complementary to the site on chromosome 11 positions 116,833, 046 through 116, 833, 065, corresponding to the gene apoC-III according to Ensembl version 109(GRCh38 build) of the homo sapiens genome. This results in specific reductions of serum apoC-IIIprotein leading to plasma triglyceride reductions. Studies suggest that apoC-III regulates bothtriglyceride metabolism and hepatic clearance of chylomicrons and other triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.

Pharmacodynamic effects

Effects of olezarsen on lipid parameters

In a phase 3 clinical trial in patients with FCS (Balance trial), administration of olezarsen decreasedapoC-III, triglycerides (TG), chylomicron triglycerides, apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48), totalcholesterol (TC), and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C). It also increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), total apolipoprotein B (apoB), and low-density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL-C). Mean LDL-C levels remained within the normal range (i.e., < 70 mg/dL) for74% of patients.

Cardio electrophysiology

At a dose 1.5-times the maximum recommended dose for olezarsen, no clinically significant corrected

QT interval prolongation was observed.

Clinical efficacy and safety

The efficacy and safety of olezarsen was studied in a randomised, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (Balance trial) that included 66 adult patients with FCS. Patients were screenedand enrolled based on documented loss-of-function variants in various genes known to cause completeor partial deficiency in the function of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes TGs transportedby TG-rich lipoproteins into free fatty acids. After a ≥ 4-week run-in period where patients continuedto follow a diet with ≤ 20 g fat per day, patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to cohort A (50 mg) orcohort B (80 mg) and each cohort was further randomised 2:1 to receive olezarsen or placebo,respectively, via subcutaneous injection over a 53-week treatment period.

The main inclusion criteria for the trial were: a diagnosis of FCS confirmed by documentation ofhomozygote, compound heterozygote, or double heterozygote for loss-of-function mutations in type 1-causing genes [such as Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL), Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchored High

Density Lipoprotein Binding Protein 1 (GPIHBP1), Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5), Apolipoprotein C2(APOC2), Glycerol-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1), or Lipase Maturation Factor 1 (LMF1)];and with or without a history of pancreatitis. History of pancreatitis is defined as a recorded diagnosisof acute pancreatitis or hospitalisation for severe abdominal pain consistent with acute pancreatitiswith no alternate diagnosis, within 10 years prior to screening. Enrollment of patients without a historyof pancreatitis was capped at 35% (i.e. ≤ 21 of the 60 planned patients).

Patient demographic and baseline characteristics were generally similar across the 3 treatment groups.

A total of 66 patients were enrolled. The mean age was 45 years, 38 (58%) were females, 56 (85%)were white, and 59 (89%) of non-Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Out of a total of 66 patients, 55 (83%)had loss of function mutation in LPL gene including 40 (61%) with homozygote LPL mutation, and11 (17%) had other causative variants in APOA5, GPIHBP1, LMF1 and APOC2 genes. Theproportion of patients with diabetes at enrollment was 32% in the olezarsen 80 mg group and 14% inthe olezarsen 50 mg group compared with 26% in the placebo group. Across all treatment groups,patients enrolled were being treated with statins (24%), omega-3 fatty acids (38%), fibrates (46%), orother lipid-lowering therapies (9%) at trial entry. Patients on lipid-lowering therapy had to maintainstable doses for at least 4 weeks prior to screening and remain on stable therapy throughout the trial.

Additionally, all patients were to adhere to their prescribed diet for the entire duration of the trial.

Seventy-one percent (71%) of all patients had a history of documented acute pancreatitis in the prior10 years. Mean (standard deviation [SD]) fasting TG level at baseline was 2 629.5 (1 315.45) mg/dL.

Olezarsen led to a statistically significant reduction in triglyceride levels in the 80 mg group ascompared to placebo at the primary efficacy endpoint, defined as percent change in fastingtriglycerides from baseline to month 6 (average of weeks 23, 25, and 27), see Table 2 below.

Olezarsen 50 mg is not an approved dosing regimen for FCS and further analyses are not shown.

* Reached statistical significance (p value < 0.05).

† Reached nominal significance (p value < 0.05).

The placebo adjusted percent change in TG levels from baseline at month 12 in the olezarsen 80 mgtreated group was nominally significant (Table 2). Following administration of olezarsen 80 mg doseevery 4 weeks, a decrease in fasting apoC-III was observed at the first assessment (week 5). Theplacebo-corrected, percent change from baseline was -57%, -69%, -74%, and -81% at months 1, 3, 6,and 12, respectively. Reductions in apoB-48 and non-HDL-C levels in the olezarsen 80 mg treatedgroup were demonstrated at month 6 and were sustained at month 12. Mean percent changes in TGlevels from baseline over time demonstrated a consistent lowering effect during the 12-monthtreatment period (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Percent change in fasting triglyceride over time (Balance trial)

Over the 12-month treatment period, the numerical incidence of pancreatitis in patients treated witholezarsen 80 mg was lower compared with placebo (1 patient experienced 1 event of adjudicated acutepancreatitis in the olezarsen 80 mg group compared with 11 events experienced by 7 patients in theplacebo group). The time to first pancreatitis event was longer in the olezarsen 80 mg group(357 days) compared to placebo (9 days). The mean pancreatitis event rate per 100 patient years was4.37 for the total olezarsen group (80 mg and 50 mg group) compared with 36.31 for the placebogroup. The mean pancreatitis event rate ratio for total olezarsen to placebo was 0.12 (95% CI: 0.022,0.656).

Elderly population

In clinical trials, 111 (38%) patients treated with olezarsen were ≥ 65 years of age. No overalldifferences in safety or efficacy were observed between these patients and younger adult patients.

Immunogenicity

In the Balance trial, with duration of treatment up to 53 weeks, anti-drug antibodies (ADA) were verycommonly detected, with 18 out of 43 (42%) patients treated with olezarsen developingtreatment-emergent ADAs. No evidence of ADA impact on pharmacodynamics, safety, or efficacywas observed; however, data are limited.

Paediatric population

The European Medicines Agency has deferred the obligation to submit the results of studies witholezarsen in one or more subsets of the paediatric population in the treatment of FCS (see section 4.2for information on paediatric use).

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of olezarsen were evaluated following subcutaneousadministration of single and multiple doses (once every week, and once every 4 weeks) in healthysubjects and multiple doses (once every 4 weeks) in patients with FCS.

Olezarsen maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) showed a slightly greaterthan dose-proportional increase following single subcutaneous doses ranging from 10 to 120 mg (i.e.

0.13- to 1.5-times the recommended dose) in healthy volunteers.

Population estimates (mean ± SD) of steady state Cmax, and AUC over the dosing interval (AUCτ) were883 ± 662 ng /mL and 7 440 ± 3 880 ng*h/mL, respectively, following 80 mg monthly dosing inpatients with FCS. No accumulation of olezarsen Cmax and AUC was observed after repeated dosing(once every 4 weeks).

Absorption

Following subcutaneous administration, olezarsen is rapidly absorbed with the time to maximumplasma concentration of approximately 2 hours post dose, based on population estimates.

Distribution

Olezarsen is expected to distribute primarily to the liver and kidney cortex after subcutaneous dosing.

Olezarsen is bound to human plasma proteins (> 99%) in vitro. The population estimates for theapparent central volume of distribution is 91.9 L and the apparent peripheral volume of distribution is2 960 L.

Biotransformation

Olezarsen is not a substrate for CYP metabolism, and is metabolized by endo- and exonucleases toshort oligonucleotide fragments of varying sizes.

Elimination

The terminal elimination half-life is approximately 4 weeks.

The mean fraction of unchanged ASO eliminated in urine was less than 1% of the administered dosewithin 24 hours.

Immunogenicity

Observed incidence of ADA is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. In the

Balance trial, the presence of ADAs did not affect olezarsen plasma Cmax but increased troughconcentrations (Ctrough).

Special populations
Renal impairment

No formal clinical trials have been conducted to investigate the effect of renal impairment onolezarsen PK. A population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis showed no clinicallymeaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of olezarsen based on mild andmoderate renal impairment (eGFR ≥ 30 to < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2).

Olezarsen has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease.

Hepatic impairment

No formal clinical trials have been conducted to investigate the effect of hepatic impairment onolezarsen PK. A population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis showed no clinicallymeaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of olezarsen based on mildhepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ ULN with AST > ULN; or total bilirubin > 1-1.5× ULN with any

AST).

Olezarsen has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment.

Age, gender, weight and race

Based on the population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis, body weight (ranging from45 to 131 kg), gender, and race have no clinically meaningful effect on olezarsen exposure or apoC-IIIand triglyceride reductions at steady-state.

No overall differences in pharmacokinetics were observed between adult and elderly patients (age≥ 65 years).

5.3 Preclinical safety data

Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of safetypharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenic potential, toxicity to reproductionand development.

In animal studies of the unconjugated form of olezarsen, volanesorsen, available data have shownexcretion of very low amounts of volanesorsen in milk. Owing to poor oral bioavailability ofvolanesorsen, it is considered unlikely that these low milk concentrations would result in systemicexposure from nursing.
