Helpful information on the one-tablet, once-daily recommended dosage, and modifications for adverse reactions

Drug Interactions1

  • Avoid coadministration with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. If coadministration of a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided, reduce the dose of ALUNBRIG
  • Avoid coadministration with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. If coadministration of moderate CYP3A inducers cannot be avoided, increase the dose of ALUNBRIG

Special Populations1

  • Pregnancy: ALUNBRIG can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus
  • Lactation: There are no data regarding the secretion of ALUNBRIG in human milk or its effects on the breastfed infant or milk production. Because of the potential for adverse reactions in breastfed infants, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment with ALUNBRIG and for 1 week following the final dose
  • Females and Males of Reproductive Potential: Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating ALUNBRIG. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 4 months after the final dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 3 months after final dose. ALUNBRIG may cause reduced fertility in males
  • Pediatric: The safety and effectiveness of ALUNBRIG in pediatric patients have not been established
  • Geriatric: Of the 359 patients enrolled in the ALTA 1L ALUNBRIG arm and in ALTA, 26.7% were 65 and older and 7.5% were 75 and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients ≥65 years and younger patients
  • Hepatic and Renal Impairment: No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment or mild or moderate renal impairment. Reduce the dose of ALUNBRIG for patients with severe hepatic impairment or severe renal impairment

Avoid Coadministration of Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors During Treatment With ALUNBRIG1

  • If coadministration of a strong CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided, reduce the ALUNBRIG once-daily dose by approximately 50% (ie, from 180 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg)
  • If coadministration of a moderate CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided, reduce the ALUNBRIG once-daily dose by approximately 40% (ie, from 180 mg to 120 mg, 120 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg)
  • After discontinuation of a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor, resume the ALUNBRIG dose that was tolerated prior to initiating the CYP3A inhibitor

Avoid Coadministration of Moderate CYP3A Inducers During Treatment With ALUNBRIG1

  • If coadministration of a moderate CYP3A inducer cannot be avoided, increase the ALUNBRIG once-daily dose in 30-mg increments after 7 days of treatment with the current ALUNBRIG dose as tolerated, up to a maximum of twice the ALUNBRIG dose that was tolerated prior to initiating the moderate CYP3A inducer
  • After discontinuation of a moderate CYP3A inducer, resume the ALUNBRIG dose that was tolerated prior to initiating the moderate CYP3A inducer

For patients with severe hepatic impairment, reduce the ALUNBRIG once-daily dose by approximately 40% (ie, from 180 mg to 120 mg, from 120 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg) for patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C).1

For patients with severe renal impairment, reduce the ALUNBRIG once-daily dose by approximately 50% (ie, from 180 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg) for patients with severe renal impairment [creatinine clearance (CLcr) 15 to 29 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault].1
