Version July 2025
Note: Screen patients for hepatitis B (HBV) prior to initiating therapy. In patients who have evidence of prior HBV infection, consult with providers with expertise in managing HBV before and/or during avacopan treatment.
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis (adjunctive agent): Oral: 30 mg twice daily.
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
No dosage adjustment necessary; has not been studied in patients on dialysis.
Note: Use is not recommended in patients with active, untreated, and/or uncontrolled chronic liver disease (eg, chronic active hepatitis B, untreated hepatitis C, uncontrolled autoimmune hepatitis) and cirrhosis. Consider the risks and benefits before use in patients with liver disease.
Baseline hepatic impairment:
Mild to moderate impairment (Child-Pugh class A or B): No dosage adjustment necessary.
Severe impairment (Child-Pugh class C): There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling (has not been studied).
Hepatic impairment during treatment:
AST or ALT >3 times ULN: Evaluate and consider interrupting treatment as clinically indicated.
AST or ALT >5 times ULN, or AST or ALT >3 times ULN and bilirubin >2 times ULN: Discontinue treatment until avacopan-induced liver injury is ruled out.
Hepatitis B virus reactivation: Discontinue treatment immediately. Resumption of avacopan in patients whose hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation resolves should be discussed with providers with expertise in managing HBV.
Hypersensitivity reactions : If angioedema occurs, discontinue avacopan immediately. Do not readminister avacopan unless another cause for angioedema has been established.
Serious infection: Interrupt treatment if a patient develops a serious or opportunistic infection. Therapy may be resumed once infection is controlled.
Refer to adult dosing.
Reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV), including life-threatening hepatitis B, has been reported with avacopan.
Risk factors:
• Prior hepatitis B infection
Hepatotoxicity, including abnormal hepatobiliary function and increased serum transaminases have commonly been reported with avacopan; severe hepatic disease has also been reported.
Risk factors:
• Liver disease
Avacopan may cause infection, including serious infection (eg, pneumonia, urinary tract infection).
Mechanism: Dose-related; related to the pharmacologic action of avacopan.
Risk factors:
• Chronic or recurrent infections
• History of serious or opportunistic infection
• Underlying conditions that may predispose to infection

Frequency not defined: Infection: Reactivation of HBV
Serious hypersensitivity to avacopan or any component of the formulation.
Special populations:
• Hepatic impairment: Use is not recommended in patients with active, untreated, and/or uncontrolled chronic liver disease (eg, chronic active hepatitis B, untreated hepatitis C, uncontrolled autoimmune hepatitis) and cirrhosis. Consider the risks and benefits before use in patients with liver disease.
• Infection: Use with caution in patients with prior exposure to tuberculosis (TB) and those who have resided or traveled in areas of endemic TB or endemic mycoses.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Polysorbate 80: Some dosage forms may contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). See manufacturer's labeling.
