Warnings & Precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Heart Failure : Consider interruption of CAMZYOS in patients with intercurrent illness. ( 2.1 , 5.1 ) • Drug Interactions Leading to Heart Failure or Loss of Effectiveness : Advise patients of the potential for drug interactions including with over-the-counter medications. ( 4 , 5.2 , 17 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception until 4 months after the last dose. Avoid concomitant use with a combined hormonal contraceptive that contains a progestin other than norethindrone. ( 5.4 , 7.2 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Heart Failure CAMZYOS reduces systolic contraction and can cause heart failure or significantly reduce ventricular function. Patients who experience a serious intercurrent illness (e.g., serious infection) or arrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation or other uncontrolled tachyarrhythmia) are at greater risk of developing systolic dysfunction and heart failure [see Clinical Trial Experience (6.1) ] . Assess the patient’s clinical status and LVEF prior to and regularly during treatment and adjust the CAMZYOS dose accordingly [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . New or worsening arrhythmia, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, leg edema, or elevations in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may be signs and symptoms of heart failure and should also prompt an evaluation of cardiac function. Asymptomatic LVEF reduction, intercurrent illnesses, and arrhythmias require additional dosing considerations [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.2 )] . Initiation of CAMZYOS in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended. Avoid concomitant use of CAMZYOS in patients on disopyramide, ranolazine, verapamil with a beta blocker, or diltiazem with a beta blocker as these medications and combinations increase the risk of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure symptoms and clinical experience is limited [see Drug Interactions (7) ] . 5.2 CYP450 Drug Interactions Leading to Heart Failure or Loss of Effectiveness CAMZYOS is primarily metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 enzymes. Concomitant use of CAMZYOS and drugs that interact with these enzymes may lead to life-threatening drug interactions such as heart failure or loss of effectiveness [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . Advise patients of the potential for drug interactions, including with over-the-counter medications (such as omeprazole, esomeprazole, or cimetidine). Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider of all concomitant products prior to and during CAMZYOS treatment [see Drug Interactions (7.1) , Patient Counseling Information (17) ] . 5.3 CAMZYOS REMS Program CAMZYOS is only available through a restricted program called the CAMZYOS REMS Program because of the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2 )] . Notable requirements of the CAMZYOS REMS Program include the following: • Prescribers must be certified by enrolling in the CAMZYOS REMS Program. • Patients must enroll in the CAMZYOS REMS Program and comply with ongoing monitoring requirements [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . • Pharmacies must be certified by enrolling in the CAMZYOS REMS Program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive CAMZYOS. • Wholesalers and distributors must only distribute to certified pharmacies. Further information is available at www.CAMZYOSREMS.com or by telephone at 1-833-628-7367. 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity CAMZYOS may cause fetal toxicity when administered to a pregnant female, based on findings in animal studies. Confirm absence of pregnancy in females of reproductive potential prior to treatment and advise patients to use effective contraception during treatment with CAMZYOS and for 4 months after the last dose. Combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) containing a combination of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone may be used with mavacamten. However, CAMZYOS may reduce the effectiveness of certain other CHCs. If these CHCs are used, advise patients to add nonhormonal contraception (such as condoms) during concomitant use and for 4 months after the last dose of CAMZYOS [see Drug Interactions (7.2) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3 )] .
Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS CAMZYOS is contraindicated with concomitant use of: • Strong CYP2C19 inhibitors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Drug Interactions (7.1) ] • Moderate to strong CYP2C19 inducers or moderate to strong CYP3A4 inducers [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Drug Interactions (7.1) ] • Strong CYP2C19 inhibitors. ( 4 , 5.2 ) • Moderate to strong CYP2C19 inducers or moderate to strong CYP3A4 inducers. ( 4 , 5.2 )
