Voydeya is indicated as an add-on to ravulizumab or eculizumab for the treatment of adult patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) who have residual haemolytic anaemia (see section 5.1).
Treatment should be initiated by a healthcare professional experienced in the management of patients with haematological disorders.
The recommended starting dose is 150 mg three times a day administered orally, approximately 8 hours apart (± 2 hours). Dose can be increased to 200 mg three times a day after a minimum of 4 weeks of treatment depending on clinical response.
If a dose is missed, patients should be advised to take it as soon as it is remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose in which case patients should skip the missed dose and take the medicinal product at the next regularly scheduled time. Patients should be advised not to take 2 doses or more at the same time.
Due to the possibility of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations after treatment cessation (see section 4.4), if treatment is discontinued, the dose should be tapered over a 6-day period until complete cessation, as follows:
No dose adjustment is required in elderly patients. However, experience with danicopan in patients ≥65 years of age is limited (see section 5.1).
No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m²) or moderate (eGFR ≥30 to <60 mL/min/1.73 m²) renal impairment. In patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m²), the recommended starting dose is 100 mg three times a day administered orally, approximately 8 hours apart (± 2 hours). Dose can be increased to 150 mg three times a day after a minimum of 4 weeks of treatment depending on clinical response (see sections 4.4 and 5.2).
No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) to moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment (see section 5.2). Studies have not been conducted in patients with severe (Child-Pugh Class C) hepatic impairment. Therefore, danicopan is not recommended in this patient population (see section 4.4).
The safety and efficacy of Voydeya in children aged less than 18 years have not yet been established. No data are available.
Oral use.
Tablets should be taken with food (meal or snack) (see section 5.2).
Single doses up to 1 200 mg and multiple doses up to 800 mg twice a day have been taken in healthy volunteers. ALT elevations occurred after treatment cessation without a taper in 2 subjects who received 500 mg and 800 mg twice a day for 14 days. All abnormal ALT findings were transient, with no evidence of hepatic function abnormality and resolved spontaneously.
In case of overdose, elevations in aminotransferase and other liver parameters may occur. General supportive measures are recommended. It is not known whether danicopan can be removed by dialysis.
