FDA Black Box Warning

WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY and EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY Because of the risk of hepatotoxicity, FILSPARI is available only through a restricted program called the FILSPARI REMS. Under the FILSPARI REMS, prescribers, patients, and pharmacies must enroll in the program [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.2 )] . Hepatotoxicity Some Endothelin Receptor Antagonists (ERAs) have caused elevations of aminotransferases, hepatotoxicity, and liver failure. In clinical studies, elevations in aminotransferases (ALT or AST) of at least 3-times the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) have been observed in up to 3.5% of FILSPARI-treated patients, including cases confirmed with rechallenge. Measure transaminases and bilirubin before initiating treatment and then every 3 months during treatment. Interrupt treatment and closely monitor patients who develop aminotransferase elevations more than 3-times ULN [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 , 2.6 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . FILSPARI should generally be avoided in patients with elevated aminotransferases (>3-times ULN) at baseline because monitoring for hepatotoxicity may be more difficult and these patients may be at increased risk for serious hepatotoxicity [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 , 2.6 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Embryo-Fetal Toxicity FILSPARI is contraindicated for use during pregnancy because it may cause fetal harm if used by pregnant patients. Therefore, in patients who can become pregnant, exclude pregnancy prior to initiation of FILSPARI. Advise use of effective contraception before the initiation of treatment, during treatment, and for two weeks after discontinuation of treatment with FILSPARI. When pregnancy is detected, discontinue FILSPARI as soon as possible [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ), Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 )].
