The pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below reflects exposure to MODEYSO at the recommended weight-based dose taken until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in 376 adult and pediatric patients with glioma across four open-label clinical studies (ONC006, ONC013, ONC014, and ONC018) [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Of the 376 patients who received MODEYSO, 35% were exposed for 6 months, and 17% were exposed for 1 year. The median age was 23 years (range: 3 to 80): 30% were 2 to 11 years old, 11% were 12 to 17 years old, 55% were 18 to 64 years old, and 3.7% were 65 years or older. Fifty-two percent (52%) were female; 74% White, 10% unknown race or race not reported, 9% Black or African American, 4% Asian, 2.9% other or multiple races; and 13% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Karnofsky/Lansky Performance Status (KPS/LPS) score was 80 to 100 in 66% of patients, 60 to 70 in 27%, and <60 in 7%. Relevant disease characteristics included primary tumor locations in the midline (91%) and non‑midline regions (9%); 33% had diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG); 30% had multifocal disease; 79% had an H3 K27M mutation; 75% had recurrent disease. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 33% of patients who received MODEYSO. Serious adverse reactions in >2% of patients included hydrocephalus (5%), vomiting (4.3%), headache (3.2%), seizure (2.4%), and muscular weakness (2.1%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1% of patients who received MODEYSO, including cardiac arrest (0.5%), intracranial hemorrhage (0.3%), and encephalopathy (0.3%). Permanent discontinuation of MODEYSO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2.1% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of MODEYSO in >1 patient included confusional state. Dosage interruptions of MODEYSO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 6% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >1 patient included increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, decreased lymphocyte count, muscular weakness, and aspiration pneumonia. Dose reductions of MODEYSO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2.7% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in >1 patient included decreased neutrophil count and increased alanine aminotransferase. The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were fatigue, headache, vomiting, nausea, and musculoskeletal pain. The most common (≥2%) Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities were decreased lymphocytes, decreased calcium, and increased alanine aminotransferase. Adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients treated with MODEYSO are presented in Table 4.

  • Drug Interactions

    7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

  • CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with MODEYSO. If concomitant use cannot be avoided for adults and pediatric patients who weigh at least 52.5 kg, reduce the dose of MODEYSO as recommended. ( 2.5 , 7.1 )
  • CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers with MODEYSO. ( 7.1 )
  • Drugs Known to Prolong QTc Interval: Avoid concomitant use of MODEYSO with products known to prolong the QTc interval. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, separate administration of MODEYSO and the QT-prolonging product. ( 5.2 , 7.2 , 12.2 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on MODEYSO Table 6 describes drug interactions where concomitant use of another drug affects MODEYSO.

  • Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers with MODEYSO . Mechanism and Clinical Effects
  • Dordaviprone is a CYP3A4 substrate.
  • Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers decrease dordaviprone exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce the anti-tumor activity of MODEYSO. 7.2 Drugs Known to Prolong QTc Interval Table 7 describes drug interactions associated with QTc interval prolongation when used concomitantly with MODEYSO. Table 7: Products that Prolong QTc Interval Products that Prolong QTc Interval Prevention or Management

  • If concomitant use cannot be avoided, separate administration of MODEYSO and the QT-prolonging product [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . Clinical Impact
  • MODEYSO causes concentration dependent QTc interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] .
  • Concomitant use of MODEYSO with other QT-prolonging products may increase the risk of QTc-associated arrhythmias [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .

    Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , MODEYSO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on MODEYSO use in pregnant women to inform a drug‑associated risk. In animal embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of dordaviprone to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis caused embryofetal mortality, alterations to growth, and structural abnormalities at exposures below the human exposure at the highest recommended dose (see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, dordaviprone was administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 7 to 17 at doses of 25, 62.5, and 125 mg/kg/day. Dordaviprone caused maternal mortality, pre-implantation loss, and embryo-fetal toxicity of absent eye and small renal papillae at the 125 mg/kg/day dose (≥2 times the human recommended doses based on body surface area). In an embryo-fetal development study, dordaviprone was administered orally to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 7 to 19 at doses of 10, 25, 62.5, and 100 mg/kg/day. Dordaviprone caused maternal mortality, embryo‑fetal mortality, lower fetal weights, and structural malformations of the face, limbs, vessels, brain, and heart at doses of ≥10 mg/kg/day (≥0.4 times the human exposure at the highest recommended dose based on C max ).
