Diarrhea, sometimes severe, can occur in patients treated with OGSIVEO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
In DeFi, diarrhea occurred in 84% of patients treated with OGSIVEO, and included Grade 3 events in 16% of patients. Median time to first diarrhea event for patients treated with OGSIVEO was 9 days (range: 2 to 434 days). Monitor patients and manage using antidiarrheal medications. Modify dose as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
Female reproductive function and fertility may be impaired in patients being treated with OGSIVEO. Impact on fertility may depend on factors including the duration of therapy and the state of gonadal function at the time of treatment. The long-term effects of OGSIVEO on fertility have not been established. Advise patients on the potential risks for ovarian toxicity before initiating treatment with OGSIVEO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3)]. Monitor patients for changes in menstrual cycle regularity or the development of symptoms of estrogen deficiency, including hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.
ALT or AST elevations occurred in 30% and 33% of patients who received OGSIVEO in DeFi, respectively. Grade 3 ALT or AST elevations (> 5 × ULN) occurred in 6% and 2.9% of patients, respectively [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor liver function tests regularly and modify dose as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
New non-melanoma skin cancers can occur in patients treated with OGSIVEO. In DeFi, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma occurred in 2.9% and 1.4% of patients, respectively [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Perform dermatologic evaluations prior to initiation of OGSIVEO and routinely during treatment.
Electrolyte abnormalities can occur in patients treated with OGSIVEO. In DeFi, these included decreased phosphate (65%) and decreased potassium (22%). Phosphate <2 mg/dL occurred in 20% of patients who received OGSIVEO. Grade 3 decreased potassium occurred in 1.4% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor phosphate and potassium levels regularly and supplement as necessary. Modify dose as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, OGSIVEO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Oral administration of nirogacestat to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal toxicity and death at maternal exposures below the human exposure at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females and males of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with OGSIVEO and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1,8.3)].
The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of OGSIVEO was evaluated in 69 patients enrolled in DeFi with progressing desmoid tumor [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received OGSIVEO 150 mg orally twice daily or placebo orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of exposure to OGSIVEO was 20.6 months (range: 0.3 to 33.6).
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients who received OGSIVEO. Serious adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 2% of patients were ovarian toxicity (4%).
Permanent discontinuation of OGSIVEO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 20% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of OGSIVEO in ≥ 2% of patients were diarrhea, ovarian toxicity, increased ALT, and increased AST.
Dosage interruptions of OGSIVEO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 51% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥ 2% of patients included diarrhea, rash, stomatitis, hypophosphatemia, fatigue, folliculitis, nausea, and ovarian toxicity.
Dose reductions of OGSIVEO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 42% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in ≥ 2% of patients included diarrhea, rash, stomatitis, hypophosphatemia, folliculitis, hidradenitis, and ovarian toxicity.
The most common (≥ 15% with a difference between arms of ≥ 5% compared to placebo) adverse reactions that occurred in patients receiving OGSIVEO were diarrhea, ovarian toxicity, rash, nausea, fatigue, stomatitis, headache, abdominal pain, cough, alopecia, upper respiratory tract infection and dyspnea.
Table 2 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in DeFi.

Table 4. Effects of Other Drugs on OGSIVEO:
Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors | |
Clinical Effect | Nirogacestat is a CYP3A substrate. Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors increase nirogacestat exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of OGSIVEO adverse reactions. |
Prevention or Management | Avoid concomitant use of OGSIVEO with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors including grapefruit products, Seville oranges, and starfruit. |
Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers | |
Clinical Effect | Nirogacestat is a CYP3A substrate. Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers decrease serum nirogacestat exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce the effectiveness of OGSIVEO. |
Prevention or Management | Avoid concomitant use of OGSIVEO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. |
Gastric Acid Reducing Agents | |
Clinical Effect | Nirogacestat is poorly soluble at pH ≥ 6. Gastric acid reducing agents may decrease serum nirogacestat exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce the effectiveness of OGSIVEO. |
Prevention or Management | Avoid concomitant use with proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, OGSIVEO can be staggered with antacids (e.g., administer OGSIVEO 2 hours before or 2 hours after antacid use). |
Table 5. Effects of OGSIVEO on Other Drugs:
Certain CYP3A Substrates | |
Clinical Effect | Nirogacestat increases exposure of CYP3A substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. |
Prevention or Management | Avoid concomitant use with CYP3A substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. |
Certain CYP2C19 Substrates | |
Clinical Effect | Nirogacestat decreases exposure of CYP2C19 substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may decrease efficacy of these substrates. |
Prevention or Management | Avoid concomitant use with OGSIVEO where decreased concentrations of CYP2C19 substrates may lead to significant decreases in efficacy of the CYP2C19 substrate unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for the CYP2C19 substrate. |
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, OGSIVEO can cause fetal harm or loss of pregnancy when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. Oral administration of nirogacestat to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal toxicity and embryo-fetal death at maternal exposures below the human exposure at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily [see Data]. There are no available data on the use of OGSIVEO in pregnant women. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.
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.
Daily oral administration of nirogacestat to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weights, pre- and post-implantation loss, and fetal subcutis edema at doses ≥ 20 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.85 times the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily based on area under the curve).
There are no data on the presence of nirogacestat or its metabolites in human milk or the effects of nirogacestat on a breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with OGSIVEO and for 1 week after the last dose.
OGSIVEO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman (see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating OGSIVEO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with OGSIVEO and for 1 week after the last dose.
Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with OGSIVEO and for 1 week after the last dose.
Based on findings in animal studies, OGSIVEO can impair female and male fertility. OGSIVEO has been shown to interfere with folliculogenesis and spermatogenesis in nonclinical studies resulting in changes that included ovarian atrophy [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].
The safety and effectiveness of OGSIVEO have not been established in pediatric patients. Epiphyseal disorder, manifesting as a widening of the epiphyseal growth plate, has been reported in pediatric patients with open growth plates treated with OGSIVEO.
Of the total number of OGSIVEO-treated patients in the DeFi study, 3 (4%) were 65 years of age and older and none were 75 years of age and older. Clinical studies of OGSIVEO did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently than younger adult patients.
