Put your patients first with once- or twice-daily dosing options with BRUKINSA1

The only BTK inhibitor with oral once- or twice-daily dosing to match your patients’ preferences1-3

Four 80 mg capsules ONCE DAILY

320 mg

OR

Two 80 mg capsules TWICE DAILY

am 160 mg

pm 160 mg

Treatment with BRUKINSA should be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity1

Can be taken concomitantly with PPIs or H2RAs1

Can be taken with or without food1

Should be swallowed whole with water, and should not be chewed, opened or broken1

  • No dose modification for patients aged ≥65 years, or with mild-to-moderate impairment of kidney function or liver function1
    • No dose modification is needed for patients with mild-to-moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 30 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault).
    • No dose modification is needed for patients with mild (Child-Pugh class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh class B) hepatic impairment.
    • Patients with severe kidney impairment, patients requiring dialysis, and patients with severe hepatic impairment should be monitored for adverse reactions. Although the safety of BRUKINSA has not been evaluated in patients with severe hepatic impairment, there is no caution to avoid use in these patients; dose modification is recommended.
  • Simple dose adjustment for co-administration with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors.
    Avoid co-administration with strong and moderate CYP3A inducers. Co-administration with mild CYP3A inducers should be done with caution1
  • For 3 to 7 days pre- and post-surgery, consider the benefit-risk of withholding BRUKINSA depending upon the type of surgery and the risk of bleeding1

Grade ≥3 adverse reactions

  • Grade 3 or higher non-haematological toxicities
  • Grade 3 febrile neutropenia
  • Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with significant bleeding
  • Grade 4 neutropenia (lasting more than 10 consecutive days)
  • Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (lasting more than 10 consecutive days)
  • Dose reduction across studies (N=1,550): 5%1
  • Treatment discontinuation across studies (N=1,550): 5%1

The safety profile is based on pooled data from 1,550 patients with B-cell malignancies treated with BRUKINSA in clinical studies with a median duration of exposure of 34.41 months1

Pooled data: treatment-emergent adverse reactions in ≥10% of patients with B-cell malignancies (N=1,550)*1
