Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are also described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypertension and Hypertensive Crisis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.1) ] Cardiac Failure [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.2) ] Cardiac Ischemia and Arterial Thromboembolic Events [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.3) ] Venous Thromboembolic Events [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.4) ] Hemorrhagic Events [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.5) ] Proteinuria [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.6) ] Gastrointestinal Perforation and Fistula Formation [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.7) ] Thyroid Dysfunction [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.8) ] Risk of Impaired Wound Healing [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.9) ] Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome (RPLS) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.10) ] The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions were fatigue, hypertension, diarrhea, decreased appetite, nausea, dysphonia, hypothyroidism, cough, and stomatitis, and the most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥5%) were sodium decreased, lipase increased, and phosphate decreased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-833-FOTIVDA (1-833-368-4832) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to FOTIVDA administered at 1.34 mg orally once daily with or without food for 21 days on treatment followed by 7 days off treatment for a 28-day cycle in 1008 patients with advanced RCC in TIVO-3 and five other monotherapy studies. Among 1008 patients who received FOTIVDA, 52% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 34% were exposed for greater than one year. Relapsed or Refractory Advanced RCC Following Two or More Prior Systemic Therapies The safety of FOTIVDA was evaluated in TIVO-3, a randomized, open-label trial in 350 patients with relapsed or refractory advanced RCC who received 2 or 3 prior systemic treatments [see CLINICAL STUDIES (14) ] . Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive FOTIVDA 1.34 mg orally once daily for 21 days on treatment followed by 7 days off treatment for a 28-day cycle, or to receive sorafenib 400 mg orally twice a day continuously until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among patients who received FOTIVDA, 53% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 31% were exposed for greater than one year. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 45% of patients who received FOTIVDA. Serious adverse reactions in > 2% of patients included bleeding (3.5%), venous thromboembolism (3.5%), arterial thromboembolism (2.9%), acute kidney injury (2.3%), and hepatobiliary disorders (2.3%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 8% of patients who received FOTIVDA, including pneumonia (1.7%), hepatobiliary disorders (1.2%), respiratory failure (1.2%), myocardial infarction (0.6%), cerebrovascular accident (0.6%), and subdural hematoma (0.6%). Permanent discontinuation of FOTIVDA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 21% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of FOTIVDA in > 2 patients included hepatobiliary disorders, fatigue, and pneumonia. Dosage interruptions of FOTIVDA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 48% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in > 5% of patients included fatigue, hypertension, decreased appetite, and nausea. Dose reductions of FOTIVDA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 24% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in > 3% of patients included fatigue, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. The most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions were fatigue, hypertension, diarrhea, decreased...
Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on FOTIVDA Strong CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use of FOTIVDA with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases tivozanib exposure [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.3) ], which may reduce FOTIVDA anti-tumor activity. Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers with FOTIVDA.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animal studies and its mechanism of action, FOTIVDA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.1) ] . There are no available data on FOTIVDA use in pregnant woman to inform the drug-associated risk. In embryo-fetal developmental studies, oral administration of tivozanib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis caused maternal toxicity, fetal malformations and embryo- fetal death at doses below the maximum recommended clinical dose on a mg/m 2 basis [see DATA ] . Advise pregnant woman of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. 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 developmental study in pregnant rats, daily oral administration of tivozanib at doses ≥ 0.03 mg/kg/day (0.2 times the maximum recommended clinical dose on a mg/m 2 basis) during the period of organogenesis resulted in maternal toxicity, increases in early and late resorptions, and an increase in fetal external malformations (body edema, short/kinked tail), and skeletal developmental delays. In an embryo-fetal developmental study in pregnant rabbits, daily oral administration of tivozanib at 1 mg/kg/day (14.5 times the maximum recommended clinical dose on a mg/m 2 basis) during the period of organogenesis resulted in fetal malformations including ventricular septal defects and major vessel anomalies. No maternal toxicity was reported at doses up to 1 mg/kg/day.
Overdosage
10 OVERDOSAGE Overdosage with FOTIVDA can cause severe hypertension and hypertensive crisis that may result in death [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.1) ] . During clinical studies, three patients inadvertently received doses ≥ 2.68 mg (≥ 2 times the recommended dose) of FOTIVDA. One patient who received two daily doses of 8.9 mg of FOTIVDA experienced hypertensive crisis with severe hypertensive retinopathy; a second patient who received three doses of 1.34 mg in one day experienced fatal uncontrolled hypertension; and a third patient who received two doses of 1.34 mg FOTIVDA in one day experienced persistent hypertension lasting over 5 days. There is no specific treatment or antidote for FOTIVDA overdose. In cases of suspected overdose, withhold FOTIVDA, closely monitor patients for hypertension and hypertensive crisis and other potential adverse reactions. Immediately manage signs or symptoms of hypertension and provide other supportive care as clinically indicated.
