Follow specific dose modification and management instructions located in the Prescribing Information for each drug.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Inluriyo and Verzenio can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment.

In EMBER-3, creatinine increase occurred in 36% for all grades (Grade 3 or 4: 1.1%) of patients who received Inluriyo in combination with Verzenio. During Verzenio treatment, use alternative measures that are not based on serum creatinine to assess renal function, such as BUN, cystatin C, or calculated GFR.

Serious and Fatal Adverse Reactions for Inluriyo in Combination with Verzenio: Serious adverse reactions occurred in 21% of patients who received Inluriyo in combination with Verzenio. Serious adverse reactions in >1% of patients who received Inluriyo in combination with Verzenio included pneumonia (2.4%), abdominal pain, and renal failure (each 1.4%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.8% of patients who received Inluriyo in combination with Verzenio, including pneumonia (1.4%), myocardial infarction, interstitial lung disease, and sepsis (0.5% each).

Most Common Adverse Reactions for Inluriyo in Combination with Verzenio: The most common (≥10%) adverse reactions with Inluriyo in combination with Verzenio, including laboratory abnormalities, were decreased neutrophils, diarrhea, decreased hemoglobin, decreased lymphocytes, nausea, decreased platelets, fatigue, increased triglycerides, infections, increased AST, increased creatinine, increased ALT, vomiting, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, increased cholesterol, rash, cough, headache, and decreased weight.

Drug Interactions – Inluriyo:

  • Avoid concomitant use with strong CYP3A inhibitors. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, decrease the Inluriyo dosage. Avoid concomitant use with strong CYP3A inducers. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, increase the Inluriyo dosage. See Prescribing Information for recommended dosage modifications.
  • Imlunestrant inhibits both P-gp and BCRP. Avoid concomitant use unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for P-gp or BCRP substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions.

Drug Interactions – Verzenio:

  • CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use of ketoconazole. Reduce the Verzenio dose with concomitant use of other strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors. Monitor for adverse reactions and follow the specific dose modification instructions located in the Prescribing Information. Patients should avoid grapefruit products.
  • CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inducers and consider alternative agents.

Lactation: Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise lactating women to not breastfeed during treatment with Inluriyo in combination with Verzenio and for 3 weeks after the last dose of Verzenio or 1 week after the last dose of Inluriyo, whichever is longer.

For Inluriyo monotherapy, advise lactating women to not breastfeed during treatment with Inluriyo and for 1 week after the last dose.

Hepatic Impairment: With Inluriyo, reduce the dose in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. The recommended dosage for patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) or severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment is 200 mg once daily. No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A).

With Verzenio, reduce the dosing frequency to once daily in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C). No dosage adjustments are necessary in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A or B).

Infertility: Inluriyo may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential.

Verzenio may impair fertility in males of reproductive potential.

Inluriyo (imlunestrant) is available as 200 mg tablets.
