A clinically significant risk of injury was reported with CENRIFKI (tolebrutinib)¹


Pooled liver safety1-3*

  • CENRIFKI is contraindicated in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment1
  • Clinically significant liver injury, including acute liver failure resulting in/leading to transplant and/or death, has been reported in patients treated with CENRIFKl1
  • Liver injury is detectable with liver enzyme monitoring and generally reversible with discontinuation of CENRIFKl1
  • In the clinical trials, all cases of serious liver injury occurred within the first 3 months of starting CENRIFKI. All but 1 of the cases resolved without long-term effects after permanent discontinuation1
  • One liver injury led to transplant and death of a trial participant treated with CENRIFKl1
    • This occurred prior to the implementation of a revised protocol with more frequent liver monitoring1,4

The safety profile of CENRIFKI was studied in one of the largest MS clinical trial programs (N=2999)1

*Among the 1685 patients treated with CENRIFKI, 0.2% had ALT elevations >3x ULN with concurrent bilirubin increases >2x ULN.1

†Cases of peak ALT >20x ULN were observed at a higher rate in CENRIFKI (0.5%) vs placebo (0%), based on the nrSPMS Phase 3 clinical trial. Cases of peak ALT >20x ULN were observed at a higher rate in CENRIFKI (0.5%) vs teriflunomide (0.1%), based on two Phase 3 RMS clinical trials. Liver enzyme elevations (ALT >3x ULN) were observed at a higher frequency in CENRIFKI (4.1%) vs placebo (1.6%) based on an nrSPMS Phase 3 clinical trial. Liver enzyme elevations (ALT >3x ULN) were observed in CENRIFKI (5.6%) at a similar rate to teriflunomide (6.3%), based on two Phase 3 RMS clinical trials.4,5

In HERCULES, less than 4% of patients discontinued treatment due to AEs.1

AE=adverse event; ALP=alkaline phosphatase; ALT=alanine transaminase; AST=aspartate aminotransferase; MS=multiple sclerosis; nrSPMS=non-relapsing secondary progressive multiple sclerosis; RMS=relapsing multiple sclerosis; TEAE=treatment-emergent adverse event; ULN=upper limit of normal.

INDICATION

CENRIFKI is a brain penetrant Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) indicated for the treatment of nrSPMS and to slow disability accumulation independent of relapse activity in adults.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Clinically significant liver injury, including acute liver failure resulting in/leading to transplant and/or death, has been reported in patients treated with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including CENRIFKI in clinical trials. Patients with pre-existing liver disease and patients taking other hepatotoxic drugs, herbal or dietary supplements may be at increased risk for developing liver injury when taking CENRIFKI. Concomitant use of CENRIFKI with other hepatotoxic drugs especially during the first 12 weeks of administration should be undertaken with caution, and alternative options for those drugs should be considered if possible. The use of herbal or dietary supplements with potential hepatotoxicity should be avoided during CENRIFKI treatment.
