29 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

 

30 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: SERIOUS AND LIFE - THREATENING RISKS FROM USE OF OLINVYK Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse Because the use of OLINVYK exposes patients and other users to the risks of opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death, assess each patient’s risk prior to prescribing and reassess all patients regularly for the development of these behaviors and conditions. Life - Threatening Respiratory Depression Serious, life - threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur with use of OLINVYK, especially during initiation or following a dosage increase. To reduce the risk of respiratory depression, proper dosing and titration of OLINVYK are essential. Risks From Concomitant Use With Benzodiazepines Or Other CNS Depressants Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Reserve concomitant prescribing of OLINVYK and benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate. Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome If opioid use is required for an extended period of time in a pregnant woman, advise the patient of the risk of NOWS, which may be life - threatening if not recognized and treated. Ensure that management by neonatology experts will be available at delivery. INDICATIONS AND USAGE OLINVYK is an opioid agonist indicated in adults for the management of acute pain severe enough to require an intravenous opioid analgesic and for whom alternative treatments are inadequate. Limitations of Use Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse with opioids, which can occur at any dosage or duration, reserve OLINVYK for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options [e.g., non - opioid analgesics or opioid combination products]: Have not been tolerated or are not expected to be tolerated. Have not provided adequate analgesia or are not expected to provide adequate analgesia. The cumulative total daily dose should not exceed 27 mg. CONTRAINDICATIONS OLINVYK is contraindicated in patients with: Significant respiratory depression Acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or in absence of resuscitative equipment Known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, including paralytic ileus Known hypersensitivity to oliceridine (e.g. anaphylaxis)

 

31 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS OLINVYK contains oliceridine, a Schedule II controlled substance, that exposes users to the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse. Although the risk of addiction in any individual is unknown, it can occur in patients appropriately prescribed OLINVYK. Assess risk, counsel, and monitor all patients receiving opioids. Serious, life - threatening respiratory depression has been reported with the use of opioids, even when used as recommended, especially in patients with chronic pulmonary disease, or in elderly, cachectic and debilitated patients. The risk is greatest during initiation of OLINVYK therapy, following a dose increase, or when used with other drugs that depress respiration. Proper dosing of OLINVYK is essential, especially when converting patients from another opioid product to avoid overdose. Management of respiratory depression may include close observation, supportive measures, and use of opioid antagonists, depending on the patient’s clinical status. Opioids can cause sleep - related breathing disorders including central sleep apnea (CSA) and sleep - related hypoxemia with risk increasing in a dose - dependent fashion . In patients who present with CSA, consider decreasing the dose of opioid using best practices for opioid taper . Profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death may result from the concomitant use of OLINVYK with benzodiazepines and/or other CNS depressants (e . g . , non - benzodiazepine sedatives/hypnotics, anxiolytics, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, general anesthetics, antipsychotics, other opioids, or alcohol) . Because of these risks, reserve concomitant prescribing of these drugs for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate, prescribe the lowest effective dose, and minimize the duration . Use of OLINVYK for an extended period of time during pregnancy can result in withdrawal in the neonate that may be life - threatening . Observe newborns for signs of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and manage accordingly . Advise pregnant women using opioids for a prolonged period of the risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available . OLINVYK was shown to have mild QTc interval prolongation in thorough QT studies where patients were dosed up to 27 mg . Total cumulative daily doses exceeding 27 mg per day were not studied and may increase the risk for QTc interval prolongation . Therefore, the cumulative total daily dose of OLINVYK should not exceed 27 mg . Increased plasma concentrations of OLINVYK may occur in patients with decreased Cytochrome P 450 (CYP) 2 D 6 function or normal metabolizers taking moderate or strong CYP 2 D 6 inhibitors ; also in patients taking a moderate or strong CYP 3 A 4 inhibitor, in patients with decreased CYP 2 D 6 function who are also receiving a moderate or strong CYP 3 A 4 inhibitor, or with discontinuation of a CYP 3 A 4 inducer . These patients may require less frequent dosing and should be closely monitored for respiratory depression and sedation at frequent intervals . Concomitant use of OLINVYK with CYP 3 A 4 inducers or discontinuation of a moderate or strong CYP 3 A 4 inhibitor can lower the expected concentration, which may decrease efficacy, and may require supplemental doses . Opioid - Induced Hyperalgesia (OIH) occurs when an opioid analgesic paradoxically causes an increase in pain, or an increase in sensitivity to pain . This differs from tolerance where increasing doses are required to maintain the desired effect . Symptoms of OIH include, but may not be limited to, increased levels of pain upon dose increase, decreased levels of pain upon dose decrease, or pain from ordinarily non - painful stimuli (allodynia) . These symptoms may suggest OIH only if there is no evidence of disease progression, opioid tolerance, withdrawal, or addictive behavior . If OIH is suspected, carefully consider appropriately decreasing the dose of the current opioid analgesic or opioid rotation .

 

32 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Cases of adrenal insufficiency have been reported with opioid use (usually greater than one month) . Presentation and symptoms may be nonspecific and include nausea, vomiting, anorexia, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and low blood pressure . If confirmed, treat with physiologic replacement doses of corticosteroids and wean patient from the opioid . OLINVYK may cause severe hypotension, including orthostatic hypotension and syncope in ambulatory patients . There is increased risk in patients whose ability to maintain blood pressure has already been compromised by a reduced blood volume or concurrent administration of certain CNS depressant drugs (e . g . , phenothiazines or general anesthetics) . Monitor these patients for signs of hypotension . In patients with circulatory shock, avoid the use of OLINVYK as it may cause vasodilation that can further reduce cardiac output and blood pressure . Avoid the use of OLINVYK in patients with impaired consciousness or coma . OLINVYK should be used with caution in patients who may be susceptible to the intracranial effects of CO 2 retention, such as those with evidence of increased intracranial pressure or brain tumors, as a reduction in respiratory drive and the resultant CO 2 retention can further increase intracranial pressure . Monitor such patients for signs of sedation and respiratory depression, particularly when initiating therapy . As with all opioids, OLINVYK may cause spasm of the sphincter of Oddi, and may cause increases in serum amylase . Monitor patients with biliary tract disease, including acute pancreatitis, for worsening symptoms . OLINVYK may increase the frequency of seizures in patients with seizure disorders and may increase the risk of seizures in vulnerable patients . Monitor patients with a history of seizure disorders for worsened seizure control . Do not abruptly discontinue OLINVYK in a patient physically dependent on opioids . Gradually taper the dosage to avoid a withdrawal syndrome and return of pain . Avoid the use of mixed agonist/antagonist (e . g . , pentazocine, nalbuphine, and butorphanol) or partial agonist (e . g . , buprenorphine) analgesics in patients who are receiving OLINVYK, as they may reduce the analgesic effect and/or precipitate withdrawal symptoms . OLINVYK may impair the mental or physical abilities needed to perform potentially hazardous activities such as driving a car or operating machinery . Although self - administration of opioids by patient - controlled analgesia (PCA) may allow each patient to individually titrate to an acceptable level of analgesia, PCA administration has resulted in adverse outcomes and episodes of respiratory depression . Health care providers and family members monitoring patients receiving PCA analgesia should be instructed in the need for appropriate monitoring for excessive sedation, respiratory depression, or other adverse effects of opioid medications . ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse reactions are described in greater detail in the Prescribing Information. The most common (incidence ≥10%) adverse reactions in Phase 3 controlled clinical trials were nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, constipation, pruritus, and hypoxia.
