Section

Change

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 (see section 4.4). The magnitude of the effect of moderate to strong inducers (e.g. efavirenz, rifabutin) on olaparib exposure is not established, therefore the co-administration of olaparib with these drugs is also not recommended (see section 4.4).

 

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.

SmPC 5.3

Revision of text from:

Ex vivo studies using human bone marrow cells also confirmed that olaparib is cytotoxic to human bone marrow cells.

To:

Studies using human bone marrow cells also showed that direct exposure to olaparib can result in toxicity to bone marrow cells in ex vivo assays.

Section 4.2

Addition of dose adjustment for co-administration with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors

Section 4.4

Addition of warning for co-administration with moderate CYP3A inhibitors

Addition of dose reduction wording when co-administered with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor

Addition of reduced olaparib efficacy wording when co-administered with strong CYP3A inducer

Section 4.5

Extensive revision based on new in vivo and in vitro studies including the following changes:

·         Addition of examples of strong & moderate CYP3A inhibitors, strong & moderate CYP3A inducers including grapefruit juice (Please note that during late stage linguistic review the EMA instructed AZ to remove ciprofloxacin as an example of a moderate CYP3A inhibitor)

·         Addition of possible increase in exposure to olaparib with P-gp inhibitors

·         Addition of olaparib as a mild CYP3A inhibitor in vivo so caution required when used with sensitive CYP3A substrates or those with narrow therapeutic margin and for the latter appropriate clinical monitoring is recommended

·         Amendment of CYP3A4 most likely to be induced to clinically relevant extent to CYP2B6

·         Addition of olaparib as P-gp inhibitor and as such clinically relevant drug interactions with P-gp substrates cannot be excluded so appropriate clinical monitoring is recommended

·         Addition of olaparib as an inhibitor of OATP1B1, OCT1, OCT2, OAT3, MATE1 and MATE2K
