Reference ID: 3161927 FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE KYPROLIS is indicated for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent and have demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy. Approval is based on response rate [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Clinical benefit, such as improvement in survival or symptoms, has not been verified. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 2.1 Dosing Guidelines KYPROLIS is administered intravenously over 2 to 10 minutes, on two consecutive days, each week for three weeks (Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16), followed by a 12-day rest period (Days 17 to 28). Each 28-day period is considered one treatment cycle (Table 1). In Cycle 1, KYPROLIS is administered at a dose of 20 mg/m2. If tolerated in Cycle 1, the dose should be escalated to 27 mg/m2 beginning in Cycle 2 and continued at 27 mg/m2 in subsequent cycles. Treatment may be continued until disease progression or until unacceptable toxicity occurs [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. The dose is calculated using the patient’s actual body surface area at baseline. Patients with a body surface area greater than 2.2 m2 should receive a dose based upon a body surface area of 2.2 m2. Dose adjustments do not need to be made for weight changes of less than or equal to 20%. 2 Reference ID: 3161927 Table 1: KYPROLIS Dosage Regimen for Patients with Multiple Myeloma Cycle 1 Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Day Day Days Day Day Days Day Day Days Days 1 2 3–7 8 9 10–14 15 16 17–21 22–28 KYPROLIS 20 20 No 20 20 No 20 20 No No (20 mg/m2): Dosing Dosing Dosing Dosing Cycles 2 and Beyonda Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Day Day Days Day Day Days Day Day Days Days 1 2 3–7 8 9 10–14 15 16 17–21 22–28 KYPROLIS 27 27 No 27 27 No 27 27 No No (27 mg/m2): Dosing Dosing Dosing Dosing a If previous cycle dosage is tolerated. 2.2 Hydration and Fluid Monitoring Hydrate patients to reduce the risk of renal toxicity and of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) with KYPROLIS treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. Maintain adequate fluid volume status throughout treatment and monitor blood chemistries closely. Prior to each dose in Cycle 1, give 250 mL to 500 mL of intravenous normal saline or other appropriate intravenous fluid. Give an additional 250 mL to 500 mL of intravenous fluids as needed following KYPROLIS administration. Continue intravenous hydration, as needed, in subsequent cycles. Also monitor patients during this period for fluid overload [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. 2.3 Dexamethasone Premedication Pre-medicate with dexamethasone 4 mg orally or intravenously prior to all doses of KYPROLIS during Cycle 1 and prior to all KYPROLIS doses during the first cycle of dose escalation to 27 mg/m2 to reduce the incidence and severity of infusion reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. Reinstate dexamethasone premedication (4 mg orally or intravenously) if these symptoms develop or reappear during subsequent cycles. 2.4 Dose Modifications based on Toxicities Recommended actions and dose modifications are presented in Table 2. 3 Reference ID: 3161927 Table 2: Dose Modifications for Toxicitya during KYPROLIS Treatment Hematologic Toxicity Recommended Action Grade 3a or 4 Neutropenia Withhold dose. Grade 4 Thrombocytopenia If fully recovered before next scheduled dose, continue at same [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)] dose level. If recovered to Grade 2 neutropenia or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia, reduce dose by one dose level (from 27 mg/m2 to 20 mg/m2, OR from 20 mg/m2 to 15 mg/m2). If tolerated, the reduced dose may be escalated to the previous dose at the discretion of the physician. Non-Hematologic Toxicity Recommended Action Cardiac Toxicity Withhold until resolved or returned to baseline. Grade 3 or 4, new onset or worsening of: After resolution, consider if restarting KYPROLIS at a reduced 2 2 congestive heart failure; dose is appropriate (from 27 mg/m to 20 mg/m , OR from 2 2 decreased left ventricular function; 20 mg/m to 15 mg/m ).

    Chen et al. Cardio-Oncology (2017) 3:4 DOI 10.1186/s40959-017-0023-9 RESEARCH Open Access Cardiac events during treatment with proteasome inhibitor therapy for multiple myeloma John H. Chen1*, Daniel J. Lenihan2, Sharon E. Phillips3, Shelton L. Harrell1 and Robert F. Cornell1 Abstract Background: Proteasome inhibitors (PI) bortezomib and carfilzomib are cornerstone therapies for multiple myeloma. Higher incidence of cardiac adverse events (CAEs) has been reported in patients receiving carfilzomib. However, risk factors for cardiac toxicity remain unclear. Our objective was to evaluate the incidence of CAEs associated with PI and recognize risk factors for developing events. Methods: This was a descriptive analysis of 96 patients with multiple myeloma who received bortezomib (n = 44) or carfilzomib (n = 52). We compared the cumulative incidence of CAEs using a log rank test. Patient-related characteristics were assessed and multivariate analysis was used to identify risk factors for developing CAEs. Results: PI-related CAEs occurred in 21 (22%) patients. Bortezomib-associated CAEs occurred in 7 (16%) patients while carfilzomib-associated cardiac events occurred in 14 (27%) patients. The cumulative incidence of CAEs was not significantly different between agents. Events occurred after a median of 67.5 days on PI therapy. Heart failure was the most prevalent event type. More patients receiving carfilzomib were monitored by a cardiologist. By multivariate analysis, a history of prior cardiac events and longer duration of PI therapy were identified as independent risk factors for developing CAEs. Conclusions: AEs were common in patients receiving PIs. Choice of PI did not impact the cumulative incidence of CAEs.

In this review, we discuss the recent discovery of a novel proteasome inhibitor, NPI-0052, that is distinct from Bortezomib in its chemical structure, mechanisms of action, and effects on proteasomal activities; most importantly, it overcomes resistance to conventional and Bortezomib therapies. In vivo studies using human MM xenografts shows that NPI-0052 is well tolerated, prolongs survival, and reduces tumour recurrence. These preclinical studies provided the basis for Phase-I clinical trial of NPI-0052 in relapsed/ refractory MM patients.

  • The Combined Effects of Proteasome Inhibitor Bortezomib with Topoisomerase I and II Inhibitors on Topoisomerase Enzymes
    Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences Turk J Med Sci (2016) 46: 1882-1888 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/medical/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/sag-1511-184 The combined effects of proteasome inhibitor bortezomib with topoisomerase I and II inhibitors on topoisomerase enzymes Emine ÖKSÜZOĞLU*, Çiydem TIRINOĞLU, Barış KERİMOĞLU Molecular Biology Division, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Letters, Aksaray University, Aksaray, Turkey Received: 29.11.2015 Accepted/Published Online: 17.02.2016 Final Version: 20.12.2016 Background/aim: DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that regulate conformational changes in DNA topology during essential cellular processes, and, for this reason, have been characterized as the cellular targets of a number of anticancer drugs. Bortezomib is a powerful proteasome inhibitor used in the treatment of hematological malignancies. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of bortezomib on human topoisomerase I and II enzymes both alone and in combination modes with camptothecin and etoposide. Materials and methods: The interactions of these drugs with topoisomerase enzymes were evaluated by relaxation assay in cell-free systems. IC50 values of the drugs on topoisomerase enzymes were calculated using the S probit analysis program. Results: Bortezomib showed a very weak inhibition effect on topoisomerase I (IC50 = 87.11 mM). On the other hand, it had a strong inhibitory effect on topoisomerase II (IC50 = 1.41 mM). Our results indicated that bortezomib is effective not only on proteasome but also on topoisomerase II. In addition, bortezomib possesses an increased synergistic effect when used in combination with camptothecin and etoposide than when used alone. Conclusion: The results of this study point out that these data may build a framework for combination studies with bortezomib, camptothecin, and etoposide in the treatment of cancer.

  • Proteasome Inhibitors for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma
    cancers Review Proteasome Inhibitors for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma Shigeki Ito Hematology & Oncology, Department of Internal Medicine, Iwate Medical University School of Medicine, Yahaba-cho 028-3695, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-19-613-7111 Received: 27 December 2019; Accepted: 19 January 2020; Published: 22 January 2020 Abstract: Use of proteasome inhibitors (PIs) has been the therapeutic backbone of myeloma treatment over the past decade. Many PIs are being developed and evaluated in the preclinical and clinical setting. The first-in-class PI, bortezomib, was approved by the US food and drug administration in 2003. Carfilzomib is a next-generation PI, which selectively and irreversibly inhibits proteasome enzymatic activities in a dose-dependent manner. Ixazomib was the first oral PI to be developed and has a robust efficacy and favorable safety profile in patients with multiple myeloma. These PIs, together with other agents, including alkylators, immunomodulatory drugs, and monoclonal antibodies, have been incorporated into several regimens. This review summarizes the biological effects and the results of clinical trials investigating PI-based combination regimens and novel investigational inhibitors and discusses the future perspective in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Keywords: multiple myeloma; proteasome inhibitors; bortezomib; carfilzomib; ixazomib 1. Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease. Over the last ten years, the availability of new drugs, such as the proteasome inhibitors (PIs), the immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), the monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), and the histone deacetylase inhibitors, have greatly advanced the treatment and improved the survival of patients with MM [1–3]. Proteasome inhibition has emerged as a crucial therapeutic strategy in the treatment of MM.

  • Proteasome Inhibitor-Adapted Myeloma Cells Are Largely
    Leukemia (2016) 30, 2198–2207 OPEN © 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature. All rights reserved 0887-6924/16 www.nature.com/leu ORIGINAL ARTICLE Proteasome inhibitor-adapted myeloma cells are largely independent from proteasome activity and show complex proteomic changes, in particular in redox and energy metabolism GP Soriano1,4, L Besse2,4,NLi1, M Kraus2, A Besse2, N Meeuwenoord1, J Bader2, B Everts3, H den Dulk1, HS Overkleeft1, BI Florea1 and C Driessen2 Adaptive resistance of myeloma to proteasome inhibition represents a clinical challenge, whose biology is poorly understood. Proteasome mutations were implicated as underlying mechanism, while an alternative hypothesis based on low activation status of the unfolded protein response was recently suggested (IRE1/XBP1-low model). We generated bortezomib- and carfilzomib-adapted, highly resistant multiple myeloma cell clones (AMO-BTZ, AMO-CFZ), which we analyzed in a combined quantitative and functional proteomic approach. We demonstrate that proteasome inhibitor-adapted myeloma cells tolerate subtotal proteasome inhibition, irrespective of a proteasome mutation, and uniformly show an 'IRE1/XBP1-low' signature. Adaptation of myeloma cells to proteasome inhibitors involved quantitative changes in 4600 protein species with similar patterns in AMO-BTZ and AMO-CFZ cells: proteins involved in metabolic regulation, redox homeostasis, and protein folding and destruction were upregulated, while apoptosis and transcription/translation were downregulated. The quantitatively most upregulated protein in AMO-CFZ cells was the multidrug resistance protein (MDR1) protein ABCB1, and carfilzomib resistance could be overcome by MDR1 inhibition. We propose a model where proteasome inhibitor-adapted myeloma cells tolerate subtotal proteasome inhibition owing to metabolic adaptations that favor the generation of reducing equivalents, such as NADPH, which is supported by oxidative glycolysis.

Several studies lysosomal enzyme inhibition. The enhanced transfection was have implicated its involvement in the processing of viral specific for peptide DNA condensates, whereas Lipofecta- particles used for gene delivery, thereby limiting the mine- and polyethylenimine-mediated gene transfer were efficiency of gene transfer. Peptide-based nonviral gene significantly blocked. A series of novel gene transfer peptides delivery systems are sufficiently similar to viral particles in containing intrinsic GA proteasome inhibitors (CWK18(GA)n, their size and surface properties and thereby could also be where n ¼ 4, 6, 8 and 10) were synthesized and found to recognized and metabolized by the proteasome. The present inhibit the proteasome. The gene transfer efficiency mediated study utilized proteasome inhibitors (MG 115 and MG 132) by these peptides in four different cell lines established that a to establish that peptide DNA condensates are metabolized GA repeat of four is sufficient to block the proteasome and by the proteasome, thereby limiting their gene transfer significantly enhance the gene transfer. Together, these efficiency. Transfection of HepG2 or cystic fibrosis/T1 (CF/T1) results implicate the proteasome as a previously undiscov- cells with CWK18 DNA condensates in the presence of ered route of metabolism of peptide-based nonviral gene MG 115 or MG 132 resulted in significantly enhanced gene delivery systems and provide a rationale for the use of expression.
