Description

An oral Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor
Used for chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, and certain types of mantle cell lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma
Fatal and serious bleeding events have been reported

Dosage And Indications
For the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
NOTE: Zanubrutinib has been designated as an orphan drug by the FDA for the treatment of MCL.
For the treatment of MCL in patients who have received at least 1 prior therapy. Oral dosage Adults

160 mg orally twice daily OR 320 mg orally once daily until disease progression. Coadministration of certain drugs may need to be avoided or dosage adjustments may be necessary; review drug interactions. Therapy interruption, dose reduction, and/or discontinuation may be necessary if severe toxicity occurs. The independent review committee (IRC)-assessed overall response rate (ORR) was 84% (complete response rate (CR), 59%) in patients with mantle cell lymphoma who received zanubrutinib in an open-label, phase 2 trial (n = 86; Trial LY-004). The median duration of response (DOR) was 19.5 months. Patients (median age, 60.5 years; range, 34 to 75 years) in this trial had received a median of 2 prior treatments (range, 1 to 4). Additionally, the IRC-assessed ORR was 84.4% (CR, 25%) in patients (median age, 70.5 years; range, 42 to 86 years) with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma who received zanubrutinib in an open-label, phase 1/2 trial (n = 32). At a median follow-up off 18.8 months, the median DOR was 18.5 months and the median progression-free survival was 21.1 months.

For the treatment of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.
NOTE: Zanubrutinib has been designated as an orphan drug by the FDA for the treatment of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.
Oral dosage Adults

160 mg orally twice daily OR 320 mg orally once daily until disease progression. Coadministration of certain drugs may need to be avoided or dosage adjustments may be necessary; review drug interactions. Therapy interruption, dose reduction, and/or discontinuation may be necessary if severe toxicity occurs. The independent review committee-assessed complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR) rates (assessed using the standard IWWM-6 criteria) were 15.7% and 7.1% in patients with MYD88 L265P mutation Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia who received zanubrutinib 160 mg PO twice daily (n = 102) and ibrutinib 420 mg PO once daily (n = 99), respectively, in cohort 1 of a randomized, 2-cohort, phase 3 (ASPEN) trial. No patient experienced a CR. The overall response (ORR: CR + VGPR + partial response) rates were 77.5% and 77.8% in the zanubrutinib and ibrutinib arms, respectively. In cohort 1, 82% of patients had relapsed or refractory disease; these patients had received a median of 1 prior therapy (range, 1 to 8 therapies). The ORR was 50% in patients with MYD88 wild type Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia who received zanubrutinib in cohort 2 (n = 26). Most patients in cohort 2 (89%) had relapsed or refractory disease.

For the treatment of marginal zone lymphoma. For the treatment of relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) in patients who have received at least 1 anti-CD20-based regimen.
NOTE: Zanubrutinib has been designated as an orphan drug by the FDA for the treatment of splenic MZL, extranodal MZL of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, and nodal MZL.
Oral dosage Adults

160 mg orally twice daily OR 320 mg orally once daily until disease progression. Coadministration of certain drugs may need to be avoided or dosage adjustments may be necessary; review drug interactions. Therapy interruption, dose reduction, and/or discontinuation may be necessary if severe toxicity occurs. The independent review committee (IRC)-assessed overall response rate (ORR) was 56% (complete response rate (CR), 59%) in patients with relapsed or refractory MZL who received zanubrutinib 160 mg twice daily in an open-label, phase 2 trial (n = 66; Trial BGB-311-214). At an estimated median follow-up time of 8.3 months, the duration of response (DOR) was not estimable. Patients (median age, 70 years; range, 37 to 85 years) in this trial had received a median of 2 prior treatments (range, 1 to 16). All patients received at least 1 prior anti-CD20-based regimen; 88% of patients had received prior rituximab-based therapy. Additionally, the IRC-assessed ORR was 80% (CR, 20%) in patients (median age, 70 years; range, 52 to 85 years) with relapsed or refractory MZL who received zanubrutinib (n = 20) in an open-label, phase 1/2 trial. At an estimated median follow-up time of 31.4 months, the median DOR was not estimable.

For the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
NOTE: Zanubrutinib has been designated by the FDA as an orphan drug for the treatment of CLL.
Oral dosage Adults

160 mg orally twice daily OR 320 mg orally once daily until disease progression. Coadministration of certain drugs may need to be avoided or dosage adjustments may be necessary; review drug interactions. Therapy interruption, dose reduction, and/or discontinuation may be necessary if severe toxicity occurs. Zanubrutinib was evaluated in patients (median age, 70 years) with previously untreated CLL or SLL (8.6%) who were aged 65 years and older or 18 years or older with comorbidities in a multinational, phase 3 (SEQUOIA) trial (n = 590). In cohort 1, patients without del(17)(p13.1) were randomized (1:1) to zanubrutinib (group A; n = 241) or bendamustine plus rituximab (group B; n = 238). Cohort 2 consisted of patients with del(17)(p13.1) who received zanubrutinib (group C; n = 111). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was significantly improved with zanubrutinib compared with bendamustine and rituximab therapy (median time not reached in either arm; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.42; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.63) at a prespecified interim analysis (median follow-up time, 26.2 months). At the time of this analysis, there was no significant difference in overall survival (OS) between groups A and B (HR = 1.07, 95% CI, 0.51 to 2.22). At a median follow-up of 30.5 months, the median PFS time had not been reached in patients who received zanubrutinib in group C. In patients who received zanubrutinib in this trial, the estimated 24-month PFS and OS rates were 85.5% and 94.3%, respectively, in group A and 88.9% and 93.6%, respectively, in group C. Investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR) was significantly improved with zanubrutinib compared with ibrutinib (78.3% vs. 62.5%; p-value less than 0.001) in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL in a preplanned interim analysis (median follow-up time, 15.3 [0.1 to 26] months) of a multinational, randomized, phase 3 (ALPINE) trial. However, response noninferiority but not superiority was determined by a blinded independent central review (ICR). At a median follow-up of 29.6 months, the investigator- (83.5% vs. 74.2%) and ICR- (86.2% vs. 75.7%) assessed ORR were numerically higher with zanubrutinib compared with ibrutinib therapy in the ALPINE trial (n = 652). The investigator-assessed median PFS times were significantly longer in the zanubrutinib compared with the ibrutinib arm (median not reached vs. 34.2 months; HR = 0.65; 95% CI, 0.49 to 0.86; p = 0.002). Patients (67 [range, 35 to 90] years) in this trial had received a median of 1 (range, 1 to 12) prior line of therapy; 14.5% of patients had chromosome 17p deletion.

Dosing Considerations
Hepatic Impairment

Mild (Child-Pugh class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh class B) hepatic impairment: No initial dosage adjustment is necessary.Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C): Reduce the initial dose to 80 mg PO twice daily.

Renal Impairment

Mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance of 15 mL/min or higher): No initial dosage adjustment is necessary.

Drug Interactions

Adagrasib: (Major) Decrease the zanubrutinib dose to 80 mg PO once daily if coadministered with adagrasib. Coadministration may result in increased zanubrutinib exposure and toxicity (e.g., infection, bleeding, and atrial arrhythmias). Interrupt zanubrutinib therapy as recommended for adverse reactions. After discontinuation of adagrasib, resume the previous dose of zanubrutinib. Zanubrutinib is a CYP3A substrate; adagrasib is a strong CYP3A inhibitor. The AUC of zanubrutinib was increased by 278% when coadministered with another strong CYP3A inhibitor.
Alfentanil: (Moderate) Consider an increased dose of alfentanil and monitor for evidence of opioid withdrawal if coadministration with zanubrutinib is necessary. If zanubrutinib is discontinued, consider reducing the alfentanil dosage and monitor for evidence of respiratory depression. Coadministration of a weak CYP3A4 inducer like zanubrutinib with alfentanil, a CYP3A4 substrate, may decrease exposure to alfentanil resulting in decreased efficacy or onset of withdrawal symptoms in a patient who has developed physical dependence to alfentanil. Alfentanil plasma concentrations will increase once the inducer is stopped, which may increase or prolong the therapeutic and adverse effects, including serious respiratory depression.
Amiodarone: (Major) Decrease the zanubrutinib dose to 80 mg PO twice daily if coadministered with amiodarone. Coadministration may result in increased zanubrutinib exposure and toxicity (e.g., infection, bleeding, and atrial arrhythmias). Further decrease the zanubrutinib dose as recommended if adverse reactions occur. After discontinuation of amiodarone, resume the previous dose of zanubrutinib. Zanubrutinib is a CYP3A4 substrate; amiodarone is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. The AUC of zanubrutinib is predicted to increase by 157% to 317% when coadministered with other moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Coadministration may result in increased zanubrutinib exposure and toxicity (e.g., infection, bleeding, and atrial arrhythmias). Interrupt zanubrutinib therapy as recommended for adverse reactions. After discontinuation of clarithromycin, resume the previous dose of zanubrutinib. Zanubrutinib is a CYP3A4 substrate; clarithromycin is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. The AUC of zanubrutinib is predicted to increase by 183% when coadministered with clarithromycin.
Apalutamide: (Major) Avoid the concomitant use of zanubrutinib and apalutamide. Coadministration may result in decreased zanubrutinib exposure and reduced efficacy. Zanubrutinib is a CYP3A4 substrate; apalutamide is a strong CYP3A4 inducer. The AUC of zanubrutinib was decreased by 93% when coadministered with another strong CYP3A4 inducer.
Aprepitant, Fosaprepitant: (Major) Decrease the zanubrutinib dose to 80 mg PO twice daily if coadministered with a multi-day regimen of aprepitant. Coadministration may result in increased zanubrutinib exposure and toxicity (e.g., infection, bleeding, and atrial arrhythmias). Further decrease the zanubrutinib dose as recommended if adverse reactions occur. After discontinuation of aprepitant, resume the previous dose of zanubrutinib. Zanubrutinib is a CYP3A4 substrate; aprepitant is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor when administered as a 3-day regimen and a weak inhibitor when given as a single dose. After administration, fosaprepitant is rapidly converted to aprepitant and shares many of the same drug interactions; it is also a weak CYP3A4 inhibitor when administered as a single dose. The AUC of zanubrutinib is predicted to increase by 157% to 317% when coadministered with other moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Aspirin, ASA; Butalbital; Caffeine: (Major) Avoid concurrent use of zanubrutinib and barbiturates due to the risk of decreased zanubrutinib exposure which may reduce its efficacy.

Mechanism Of Action

Zanubrutinib is a second generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. BTK is a signaling molecule early within the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling cascade. Signaling from BCR regulates several pro-survival mechanisms of B-cells, including proliferation, trafficking, chemotaxis, and adhesion. Zanubrutinib forms a covalent bond with a cysteine residue in the BTK active site leading to inhibition of BTK enzymatic activity, inhibition of malignant B-cell proliferation, and reduced tumor growth.

Pharmacokinetics

Zanubrutinib is administered orally. It is approximately 94% protein-bound, with a blood-to-plasma ratio of 0.7 to 0.8. The geometric mean apparent steady-state volume of distribution of zanubrutinib is 537 L (CV, 73%). The median steady-state Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) occupancy in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was maintained at 100% over 24 hours at a total daily dose of 320 mg in patients with B-cell malignancies. The median BTK occupancy in lymph nodes was 94% to 100% following the approved recommended dosage. The mean half-life of zanubrutinib is approximately 2 to 4 hours following a single oral dose of 160 mg or 320 mg. The geometric mean apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of zanubrutinib is 128 L/hour (CV, 58%). After a single radiolabeled dose of 320 mg to healthy subjects, approximately 87% was recovered in the feces (38% unchanged), and 8% in urine (less than 1% unchanged).
Affected cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoenzymes and drug transporters: CYP3A
Zanubrutinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A; it is also a weak inducer of CYP2C19 and CYP3A. In vitro, zanubrutinib is an inducer of CYP2B6 and CYP2C8, and is likely to be a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp).

Oral Route

After twice-daily dosing of zanubrutinib 160 mg at steady-state, the geometric mean daily AUC is 2,099 ng x hour/mL (CV, 42%) and the geometric mean Cmax is 295 ng/mL (CV, 55%). After once-daily dosing of zanubrutinib 320 mg at steady-state, the geometric mean daily AUC is 1,917 ng x hour/mL (CV, 59%) and the geometric mean Cmax is 537 ng/mL (CV, 55%). The median Tmax of zanubrutinib is 2 hours. Cmax and AUC values of zanubrutinib increase proportionally over a dose range from 40 mg to 320 mg (from 0.13 to 1 time the recommended total daily dose). There was limited systemic accumulation of zanubrutinib following repeated administration.
Effects of food: In healthy subjects, there were no clinically significant differences in the AUC and Cmax values of zanubrutinib after administration of a high-fat meal (approximately 1,000 calories with 50% of total caloric content from fat).

Pregnancy And Lactation
Pregnancy

Zanubrutinib may cause fetal harm if administered during pregnancy based on data from animal studies. Women of reproductive potential should avoid pregnancy during zanubrutinib therapy. Pregnant women should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. In animal studies in pregnant rats, fetal heart malformation and ocular findings (e.g., cataract, protruding eye) were observed following zanubrutinib doses that resulted in drug exposure approximately 5-times of that reported at clinical human doses.

It is not known if zanubrutinib or its metabolites are excreted in human milk or if it has effects on the breast-fed infant or on milk production. Due to the risk of serious adverse reactions in a nursing child, women should discontinue breast-feeding during zanubrutinib therapy and for 2 weeks after the last dose.
