Adverse Reactions (Significant): Considerations
Neutropenia

Neutropenia has been reported with leniolisib. In a clinical study, this absolute neutrophil count (ANC) decrease did not result in infections and was considered mild and transient. No ANC <500 cells/µL or events ≥ grade 3 were reported (Rao 2023).

Transient and mild neutropenia has been reported with leniolisib. In clinical studies, an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <500 cells/µL, events ≥ grade 3, and infection were not reported (Rao 2023).

Onset: Intermediate; nadir at day 15 with recovery by day 85 has been reported (Rao 2023).

Administration: Adult

Oral: Administer doses approximately every 12 hours, with or without food. If vomiting occurs ≤1 hour after administration, administer another dose as soon as possible. If vomiting occurs >1 hour after administration, do not readminister the dose; wait and administer the next dose at the usual time.

Administration: Pediatric

Oral: Administer with or without food. If patient vomits ≤1 hour after dose, readminister dose as soon as possible; if patient vomits >1 hour after dose, do not readminister dose; wait and administer next dose at scheduled time.

Missed dose: If dose missed by >6 hours, wait and take next dose at scheduled time.

Use: Labeled Indications

Metabolism/Transport Effects

Substrate of BCRP, CYP3A4 (Major), P-glycoprotein (Minor); Note: Assignment of Major/Minor substrate status based on clinically relevant drug interaction potential;

Drug Interactions

Note: Interacting drugs may not be individually listed below if they are part of a group interaction (eg, individual drugs within “CYP3A4 Inducers [Strong]” are NOT listed). For a complete list of drug interactions by individual drug name and detailed management recommendations, use the drug interactions program by clicking on the “Launch drug interactions program” link above.

BCRP/ABCG2 Substrates (Clinically Relevant with Inhibitors): Leniolisib may increase serum concentration of BCRP/ABCG2 Substrates (Clinically Relevant with Inhibitors). Risk X: Avoid

Reproductive Considerations

Evaluate pregnancy status prior to use; verify the patient is not pregnant prior to treatment initiation (in patients who could become pregnant).

Patients who could become pregnant should use highly effective contraception during therapy and for 1 week after the last leniolisib dose.

Pregnancy Considerations

Based on data from animal reproduction studies, in utero exposure to leniolisib may cause fetal harm.

Breastfeeding Considerations

It is not known if leniolisib is present in breast milk.

Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, breastfeeding is not recommended by the manufacturer during therapy and for 1 week after the last leniolisib dose.

Monitoring Parameters

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase-delta mutation status. Evaluate pregnancy status prior to use (in patients who could become pregnant).

Mechanism of Action

Leniolisib is a kinase inhibitor that selectively targets phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) delta (Rao 2023). Leniolisib blocks the active binding site of PI3K delta, inhibiting the signaling pathways that lead to increased production of PIP3, hyperactivity of the downstream mTOR/AKT pathway, and dysregulation of B and T cells.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Distribution: Vd: ~28.5 L.

Protein binding: 94.5%.

Metabolism: Primarily hepatic via CYP3A4, with minor contribution to metabolism by CYP3A5, CYP1A2, and CYP2D6.

Half-life elimination: Terminal: ~10 hours; Effective: ~7 hours.

Time to peak:

Children ≥12 years and Adolescents: Median: ~3 hours (range: 1 to 5 hours).

Adults: Median: ~1 hour.

Excretion: Urine: 25.5% (6.32% as unchanged drug); feces: 67%.
