SmPC 4.2 Posology and method of administration |
Revised hepatic impairment text FROM: The effect of hepatic impairment on exposure to Lynparza has not been studied. Therefore, Lynparza is not recommended for use in patients with hepatic impairment (serum bilirubin greater than 1.5 times upper limit of normal), as safety and efficacy have not been established.
TO: Lynparza can be administered to patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification A) with no dose adjustment (see section 5.2). Lynparza is not recommended for use in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment, as safety and efficacy have not been studied in these patients. |
|
SmPC 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use, Interactions |
Revised to add ‘moderate’ CYP3A inducers to existing strong CYP3A inducer text to read: Olaparib co‑administration with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers is not recommended (see section 4.5). In the event that a patient already receiving olaparib requires treatment with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer, the prescriber should be aware that the efficacy of olaparib may be substantially reduced (see section 4.5) |
|
SmPC 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction, Effect of other drugs on olaparib |
Minor change to end of first paragraph: Therefore, known strong inducers of this isozyme (e.g. phenytoin, rifampicin, rifapentine, carbamazepine, nevirapine, phenobarbital, and St John’s Wort) are not recommended with olaparib, as it is possible that the efficacy of olaparib could be substantially reduced
|
|
SmPC 5.2 Pharmacokinetic Properties, Hepatic impairment |
Revised hepatic impairment text FROM: The effect of hepatic impairment on exposure to olaparib has not been studied. Olaparib is not recommended for use in patients with hepatic impairment (serum bilirubin > 1.5 time upper limit of normal).
TO: In patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification A), AUC increased by 15% and Cmax by 13% compared with patients with normal hepatic function. No Lynparza dose adjustment is required for patients with mild hepatic impairment (see section 4.2). There are no data in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. |
