Dosage guidance:
Clinical considerations : Infections should be treated prior to initiating treatment with idelalisib. Provide Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia prophylaxis throughout idelalisib treatment (and after discontinuation if infection risk persists).
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, relapsed: Oral: 150 mg twice daily (in combination with rituximab); continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (Ref).
Missed doses: If the dose is missed by <6 hours, administer the missed dose as soon as possible and administer the next dose at the usual dosing time. If >6 hours, skip the missed dose and resume therapy with the next scheduled dose.
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
CrCl ≥15 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).
CrCl <15 mL/minute: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer’s labeling.
Preexisting hepatic impairment:
Based on a pharmacokinetic study in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh classes B and C) compared to healthy subjects, single oral doses of 150 mg were well tolerated; idelalisib and GS-563117 exposure differences were observed but not considered clinically relevant (Ref).
ALT or AST or bilirubin greater than the ULN: Dosage adjustment not necessary. However, limited safety data are available in patients with baseline ALT or AST >2.5 times ULN or bilirubin >1.5 times ULN. Monitor closely for toxicity.
Hepatotoxicity during treatment:
ALT/AST >3 to 5 times ULN or bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN: Continue current idelalisib dose; monitor LFTs at least weekly until ALT/AST and/or bilirubin ≤1 times ULN.
ALT/AST >5 to 20 times ULN or bilirubin >3 to 10 times ULN: Temporarily interrupt idelalisib therapy. Monitor LFTs at least weekly until ALT/AST and/or bilirubin ≤1 times ULN, then may reinitiate therapy at 100 mg twice daily.
ALT/AST >20 times ULN or bilirubin >10 times ULN: Permanently discontinue idelalisib.
Recurrent hepatotoxicity: Discontinue idelalisib.

Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Bone marrow suppression: Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurs commonly with idelalisib. Lymphocytosis does not require dosage modification (lymphocytosis is a pharmacologic effect of idelalisib and should not be considered progressive disease in the absence of other clinical findings).
• Dermatologic toxicity: Cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported (some fatal). Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms has also occurred. Other severe and/or life-threatening cutaneous reactions (grade 3 or higher), including exfoliative dermatitis, rash (generalized, erythematous, macular, maculopapular, papular, pruritic, exfoliative), and skin disorder, have been observed with idelalisib.
• GI events: Grade 3 or higher diarrhea or colitis have been reported in clinical trials (with idelalisib in combination with rituximab, and with off-label combination therapies). Diarrhea may occur at any time during therapy and responds poorly to antidiarrheal (antimotility) medications. The median time to resolution of diarrhea was 1 week to 1 month (following therapy interruption); corticosteroids were used in some cases to manage GI toxicity. Avoid concomitant use with other medications that may cause diarrhea. Serious and fatal intestinal perforation may occur. In some patients, perforation was preceded by moderate to severe diarrhea. Advise patients to promptly report any new or worsening abdominal pain, chills, fever, nausea, or vomiting.
• Hepatotoxicity: Fatal and/or serious hepatotoxicity has occurred. Hepatotoxicity has been reported with idelalisib in combination with rituximab, and with unapproved combination therapies. ALT/AST elevations >5 times ULN have occurred and were generally observed during the first 12 weeks of therapy; transaminase elevations were reversible upon therapy interruption. Hepatotoxicity may recur upon rechallenge, even with idelalisib resumed at a reduced dose.
• Hypersensitivity: Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported.
• Infections: Fatal and/or serious infection has occurred. Infections have been reported with idelalisib in combination with rituximab, and with unapproved combination therapies. Commonly reported infections include pneumonia, sepsis, and febrile neutropenia. Serious cases (some fatal) of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and cytomegalovirus have been reported rarely.
• Pneumonitis: Fatal and serious pneumonitis may occur. Clinical manifestations include interstitial infiltrates and organizing pneumonia. The time to onset of symptoms ranged from less than 1 month to 15 months after therapy initiation. Symptoms may include cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, interstitial infiltrates, or an oxygen saturation decrease of more than 5%.
Special populations:
• Older adults: Patients ≥65 years of age experienced a higher incidence of serious adverse reactions, a higher incidence of discontinuation due to adverse reactions, and a higher incidence of death (compared to patients <65 years of age).

Specifically, the risk of vaccine-associated infection may be increased. Immunosuppressants (Miscellaneous Oncologic Agents) may decrease therapeutic effects of Zoster Vaccine (Live/Attenuated). Risk X: Avoid
Zuranolone: CYP3A4 Inhibitors (Strong) may increase serum concentration of Zuranolone. Management: Reduce the zuranolone dose to 30 mg once daily when used concomitantly with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Risk D: Consider Therapy Modification
Verify pregnancy status prior to treatment initiation in patients who could become pregnant. Patients who could become pregnant should use effective contraception during therapy and for 1 month after the final idelalisib dose. Patients with partners who could become pregnant should use effective contraception during therapy and for 3 months after the final idelalisib dose.
Based on findings in animal reproduction studies and the mechanism of action, in utero exposure to idelalisib may cause fetal harm.
It is not known if idelalisib is present in breast milk. Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, the manufacturer recommends not breastfeeding during treatment and for 1 month after the last idelalisib dose.
Complete blood counts with differential at least every 2 weeks for the first 6 months, and at least weekly in patients with neutropenia (ANC <1,000/mm3 ), or as clinically necessary; liver function tests at baseline and every 2 weeks for the first 3 months, every 4 weeks for the next 3 months, then every 1 to 3 months thereafter, or as clinically necessary; increase monitoring to weekly if ALT or AST >3 times ULN until resolved. Evaluate pregnancy status (prior to treatment initiation in patients who could become pregnant). Monitor for infections (including sepsis and pneumonia). Monitor for symptoms or laboratory evidence of opportunistic infections, including Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, cytomegalovirus, herpes virus infections, and Epstein-Barr virus (Hallek 2018). Monitor for signs/symptoms of diarrhea/colitis, intestinal perforation (new or worsening abdominal pain, chills, fever, nausea, or vomiting), pneumonitis (monitor for pulmonary symptoms and bilateral interstitial infiltrates), dermatologic toxicity, and hypersensitivity reactions. Monitor adherence.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening and management provisional clinical opinion (ASCO [Hwang 2020]) recommends HBV screening with hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, total Ig or IgG, and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen prior to beginning (or at the beginning of) systemic anticancer therapy; do not delay treatment for screening/results. Detection of chronic or past HBV infection requires a risk assessment to determine antiviral prophylaxis requirements, monitoring, and follow-up.
Idelalisib is a potent small molecule inhibitor of the delta isoform of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3Kδ), which is highly expressed in malignant lymphoid B-cells. PI3Kδ inhibition results in apoptosis of malignant tumor cells. In addition, idelalisib inhibits several signaling pathways, including B-cell receptor, CXCR4 and CXCR5 signaling which may play important roles in CLL pathophysiology (Furman 2014).
