Other
Serious Infections
Patients treated with CIBINQO may be at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death; The most frequent serious infections reported with CIBINQO were herpes simplex, herpes zoster, and pneumonia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
If a serious or opportunistic infection develops, discontinue CIBINQO and control the infection.
Reported infections from Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions:
- Active tuberculosis, which may present with pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease. Test for latent TB before and during therapy; treat latent TB prior to use. Monitor all patients for active TB during treatment, even patients with initial negative, latent TB test.
- Invasive fungal infections, including cryptococcosis and pneumocystosis. Patients with invasive fungal infections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease.
- Bacterial, viral, including herpes zoster, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens.
Avoid use of CIBINQO in patients with an active, serious infection including localized infections. The risks and benefits of treatment with CIBINQO should be carefully considered prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infections.
Patients should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with CIBINQO, including the possible development of tuberculosis in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis infection prior to initiating therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Mortality
In a large, randomized, postmarketing safety study in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor comparing another JAK inhibitor to TNF blocker treatment, a higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden cardiovascular death, was observed with the JAK inhibitor. CIBINQO is not approved for use in RA patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Malignancies
Malignancies were reported in patients treated with CIBINQO. Lymphoma and other malignancies have been observed in patients receiving JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. In RA patients treated with another JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of malignancies (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)) was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events
Major adverse cardiovascular events were reported in patients treated with CIBINQO. In RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor treated with another JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke), was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk. Discontinue CIBINQO in patients that have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
Thrombosis
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) have been reported in patients treated with CIBINQO. Thrombosis, including PE, DVT, and arterial thrombosis have been reported in patients receiving JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. Many of these adverse reactions were serious and some resulted in death. In RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor treated with another JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of thrombosis was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Avoid CIBINQO in patients at risk. If symptoms of thrombosis occur, discontinue CIBINQO and treat appropriately [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].
Renal Impairment
CIBINQO dosage recommendations for patients with renal impairment are provided in Table 1 [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. In subjects with mild and moderate renal impairment, if an adequate response is not achieved after 12 weeks, dose of CIBINQO can be doubled [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
| Renal Impairment Stage | Estimated Glomerular Filtration (eGFR) Glomerular filtration rate was estimated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. | Dosage |
|---|---|---|
| Mild | 60 – 89 mL/minute | CIBINQO 100 mg once daily |
| Moderate | 30 – 59 mL/minute | CIBINQO 50 mg once daily |
| Severe Severe Renal Impairment and End-Stage Renal Disease include patients on renal replacement therapy. | 15 – 29 mL/minute | Not recommended for use |
| End-Stage Renal Disease | <15 mL/minute |
Hepatic Impairment
CIBINQO is not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Serious or Opportunistic Infections
If a patient develops a serious or opportunistic infection, discontinue CIBINQO and control the infection. The risks and benefits of treatment with CIBINQO should be carefully considered prior to reinitiating therapy with CIBINQO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Hematologic Abnormalities
Recommendations for CIBINQO discontinuation for laboratory abnormalities are summarized in Table 2.
| Laboratory Measure | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Abbreviations: ALC=absolute lymphocyte count; ANC=absolute neutrophil count; CBC=complete blood count; Hb=hemoglobin | |
| Platelet Count <50,000/mm3 | Discontinue CIBINQO and follow with CBC until >100,000/mm3 |
| ALC <500/mm3 | Treatment should be temporarily discontinued if ALC is less than 500 cells/mm3 and may be restarted once ALC return above this value |
| ANC <1,000/mm3 | Treatment should be temporarily discontinued if ANC is less than 1,000 cells/mm3 and may be restarted once ANC return above this value |
| Hb value <8 g/dL | Treatment should be temporarily discontinued if Hb is less than 8 g/dL and may be restarted once Hb return above this value |
CBC evaluations are recommended at baseline, 4 weeks after treatment initiation and 4 weeks after dosing increase of CIBINQO. Laboratory evaluations may be extended for patients on chronic CIBINQO therapy who develop hematologic abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)].
Tuberculosis
Evaluate and test patients for TB before starting CIBINQO therapy and consider yearly screening for patients in highly endemic areas for TB. CIBINQO is not recommended for use in patients with active TB. For patients with a new diagnosis of latent TB or prior untreated latent TB, or for patients with a negative test for latent TB but who are at high risk for TB infection, start preventive therapy for latent TB prior to initiation of CIBINQO. Monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of TB, including patients who were tested negative for latent TB infection prior to initiating therapy.
Viral Reactivation
Viral reactivation, including herpes virus reactivation (e.g., herpes zoster, herpes simplex), was reported in clinical studies with CIBINQO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. If a patient develops herpes zoster, consider interrupting CIBINQO until the episode resolves.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation has been reported in patients receiving JAK inhibitors. Perform viral hepatitis screening and monitoring for reactivation in accordance with clinical guidelines before starting therapy and during therapy with CIBINQO. CIBINQO is not recommended for use in patients with active hepatitis B or hepatitis C [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Monitor patients with inactive HBV for expression of HBV DNA during therapy with CIBINQO. If HBV DNA is detected during therapy with CIBINQO, consult a liver specialist.
Hematologic Abnormalities
Treatment with CIBINQO was associated with an increased incidence of thrombocytopenia and lymphopenia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Prior to CIBINQO initiation, perform a CBC [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. CBC evaluations are recommended at 4 weeks after initiation and 4 weeks after dose increase of CIBINQO. Discontinuation of CIBINQO therapy is required for certain laboratory abnormalities [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)].
Lipid Elevations
Dose-dependent increase in blood lipid parameters were reported in patients treated with CIBINQO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Lipid parameters should be assessed approximately 4 weeks following initiation of CIBINQO therapy and thereafter patients should be managed according to clinical guidelines for hyperlipidemia. The effect of these lipid parameter elevations on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined.
Specific Adverse Reactions
Exposure adjusted incidence rates were adjusted by trial size for all the adverse reactions reported in this section.

Deep vein thrombosis was reported in 2 subjects (0.3 per 100 patient-years) who were treated with CIBINQO 200 mg. No thrombosis occurred in subjects treated with CIBINQO 100 mg.
Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events
In the placebo-controlled trials, for up to 16 weeks, major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) was reported in 1 subject (0.6 per 100 patient-years) treated with CIBINQO 100 mg. In all 5 clinical trials, including the long-term extension trial, MACE was reported in 1 patient (0.1 per 100 patient-years) treated with CIBINQO 100 mg and 2 subjects (0.3 per 100 patient-years) treated with CIBINQO 200 mg.
Thrombocytopenia
In the placebo-controlled trials, for up to 16 weeks, treatment with CIBINQO was associated with a dose-related decrease in platelet count. Maximum effects on platelets were observed within 4 weeks, after which the platelet count returned towards baseline despite continued therapy. In all 5 clinical trials, including the long-term extension trial 6 subjects (0.9 per 100 patient-years) treated with CIBINQO 200 mg had adverse reactions of thrombocytopenia, no subjects treated with CIBINQO 100 mg had an adverse reaction of thrombocytopenia.

In the placebo-controlled trials, for up to 16 weeks, confirmed ALC <500/mm3 occurred in 2 subjects (1.2 per 100 patient-years) treated with CIBINQO 200 mg and 0 subjects treated with CIBINQO 100 mg or placebo. Both cases occurred in the first 4 weeks of exposure.
Lipid Elevations
In the placebo-controlled trials, for up to 16 weeks, there was a dose-related percent increase in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) relative to placebo at Week 4 which remained elevated through the final visit in the treatment period. Adverse reactions related to hyperlipidemia occurred in 1 subject (0.6 per 100 patient-years) exposed to CIBINQO 100 mg, 3 subjects (2.0 per 100 patient-years) exposed to CIBINQO 200 mg.
Retinal Detachment
In the placebo-controlled trials, for up to 16 weeks, retinal detachment occurred in 1 subject (0.6 per 100 patient-years) treated with CIBINQO 100 mg. In all 5 clinical trials, including the long-term extension trial, retinal detachment occurred in 2 subjects (0.3 per 100 patient-years) treated with CIBINQO 100 mg.
Creatine Phosphokinase Elevations (CPK)
In the placebo-controlled trials, for up to 16 weeks, events of blood CPK increased were reported in 6 subjects (7.5 per 100 patient-years) treated with placebo, 11 subjects (6.9 per 100 patient-years) treated with 100 mg of CIBINQO and 19 subjects (12.3 per 100 patient-years) treated with 200 mg of CIBINQO. Most elevations were transient, there were no reported adverse reactions of rhabdomyolysis.
Pregnancy Exposure Registry
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to CIBINQO during pregnancy. Pregnant women exposed to CIBINQO and health care providers are encouraged to call 1-877-311-3770.
Risk Summary
Available data from pregnancies reported in clinical trials with CIBINQO are not sufficient to establish a drug-associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of abrocitinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at exposure 14 or 5 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) based on AUC comparison, respectively, resulted in maternal dystocia and skeletal variations in rats and no adverse effects in rabbits (see Data).
The background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. All pregnancies carry some risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The background risks in the U.S. general population of major birth defects and miscarriages are 2–4% and 15–20% of clinically recognized pregnancies, respectively.
Data
Animal Data
In an embryofetal development study, abrocitinib was administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of 10, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. No fetal malformations were observed. Abrocitinib increased the incidence of skeletal variations of short 13th ribs at 30 mg/kg/day (14 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Increased embryofetal lethality and additional skeletal variations (cervical arches with reduced ventral processes, thickened ribs, and unossified metatarsals) were noted at 60 mg/kg/day (22 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).
In an embryofetal development study, abrocitinib was administered orally to pregnant rabbits at doses of 10, 30, or 75 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. No abrocitinib-related maternal or developmental toxicity was noted at doses up to 75 mg/kg/day (5 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).
In a prenatal and postnatal development study, abrocitinib was administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of 10, 30, and 60 mg/kg/day beginning on gestation day 6 and continuing through lactation day 20. Dystocia with prolonged parturition and reduced offspring body weights were noted at 30 mg/kg/day (14 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Postnatal survival was markedly decreased at 60 mg/kg/day (22 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). No maternal toxicity was observed at 10 mg/kg/day (3 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). No abrocitinib-related effects on postnatal developmental, neurobehavioral, or reproductive performance of offspring was noted at doses up to 30 mg/kg/day (14 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of abrocitinib in human milk, the effects on the breast-fed infant, or the effects on milk production. Abrocitinib was secreted in milk of lactating rats (see Data). When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. Because of the serious adverse findings in adults, including risks of serious infections, malignancy, and thrombosis, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with CIBINQO and for one day after the last dose (approximately 5–6 elimination half-lives).
Data
Animal Data
Lactating female rats were orally administered a single dose of 10 mg/kg abrocitinib on lactation day 12. Abrocitinib AUC was approximately 5 times greater in milk than in plasma.
Infertility
Females
Based on the findings in rats, oral administration of CIBINQO may impair female fertility. Impaired fertility in female rats was reversible 1 month after cessation of abrocitinib oral administration [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].
Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data
In a juvenile animal toxicity study, abrocitinib was administered orally to juvenile rats at doses of 5, 25, and 75 mg/kg/day beginning on postnatal day 10 (approximately equivalent to a human infant) and continuing through postnatal day 63 (approximately equivalent to an adolescent). Abrocitinib caused a reversible, dose-related decrease in the primary spongiosa in the metaphysis of the proximal tibia and distal femur. Abrocitinib produced adverse effects on bone development at all dose levels. Abrocitinib caused irreversible dose-related small or misshapen femoral heads at doses ≥5 mg/kg/day (1.1 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Abrocitinib also irreversibly decreased femur size and caused paw malrotation and limb impairment at doses ≥25 mg/kg/day (10 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). At 75 mg/kg/day (36 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison), paw fractures generally corresponded to limb impairment, a fractured tibia was noted in a single female, and effects noted at lower doses were increased in frequency and severity. Irreversible bone findings have not been observed in older animals.
Effect on Platelet Count
Treatment with CIBINQO was also associated with a transient, dose-dependent decrease in platelet count with the nadir occurring at a median of 24 days after continuous administration of abrocitinib 200 mg once daily. The percent change from baseline of the nadir increases with decreasing baseline platelet counts (-41.2%, -33.4%, and -26.5% for baseline platelet counts of 170, 220, and 270× 103/mm3, respectively). Recovery of platelet count (~40% recovery by 12 weeks) occurred without discontinuation of the treatment.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
At a dose 3 times the maximum approved recommended dose, abrocitinib does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.
Absorption
Abrocitinib is absorbed with over 91% extent of oral absorption and absolute oral bioavailability of approximately 60%. The peak plasma concentrations of abrocitinib are reached within 1 hour.
Effect of Food
Coadministration of CIBINQO with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (total 916 calories, with approximate distribution of 55% fat, 29% carbohydrates, and 16% protein) had no clinically relevant effect on abrocitinib exposures (AUC and Cmax of abrocitinib increased by approximately 26% and 29%, respectively, and Tmax was prolonged by 2 hours) [see Dosage and Administration (2.7)].
Distribution
After intravenous administration, the volume of distribution of abrocitinib is approximately 100 L. Approximately 64%, 37% and 29% of circulating abrocitinib and its active metabolites M1 and M2, respectively, are bound to plasma proteins. Abrocitinib and its active metabolites M1 and M2 bind predominantly to albumin and distribute equally between red blood cells and plasma.
Elimination
Abrocitinib is eliminated primarily by metabolic clearance mechanisms. The mean elimination half-lives of abrocitinib and its two active metabolites, M1 and M2, range 3 to 5 hours.
Metabolism
The metabolism of abrocitinib is mediated by multiple CYP enzymes, CYP2C19 (~53%), CYP2C9 (~30%), CYP3A4 (~11%) and CYP2B6 (~6%). In a human radiolabeled study, abrocitinib was the most prevalent circulating species, with two active polar mono-hydroxylated metabolites identified as M1 (3-hydroxypropyl), and M2 (2-hydroxypropyl). Metabolite M1 is less active than abrocitinib while metabolite M2 is as active as the parent. The pharmacologic activity of abrocitinib is attributable to the unbound exposure of parent molecule (~60%) as well as M1 (~10%) and M2 (~30%) in systemic circulation. The sum of unbound exposures of abrocitinib, M1 and M2, each expressed in molar units and adjusted for relative potencies, is referred to as the combined exposure of abrocitinib and its two active metabolites, M1 and M2.
Excretion
After a single radiolabeled abrocitinib dose, less than 1% of the dose was excreted in urine as unchanged drug. The metabolites of abrocitinib, M1 and M2 are excreted predominantly in urine, and are substrates of OAT3 transporter.
Specific Populations
Body weight, sex, race, and age did not have a clinically meaningful effect on CIBINQO exposure.
Patients with Renal Impairment
In a renal impairment study, subjects with severe (eGFR <30 mL/min as estimated by MDRD equation) and moderate (eGFR 30–59 mL/min, MDRD) renal impairment had approximately 191% and 110% increase in the combined exposure (AUCinf,u) of abrocitinib and its active metabolites, M1 and M2, respectively, compared to subjects with normal renal function (eGFR ≥90 mL/min, MDRD). Based on these results, a clinically significant increase in the combined exposure of abrocitinib and its active metabolites, M1 and M2, is not expected in subjects with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60 –89 mL/min, MDRD) [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Use in Specific Population (8.6)].
CIBINQO has not been studied in subjects on renal replacement therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Use in Specific Population (8.6)]. In Phase 3 clinical studies, CIBINQO was not evaluated in subjects with atopic dermatitis with baseline creatinine clearance values less than 40 mL/min.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
Subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child Pugh A) had approximately 4% decrease in the combined exposure (AUCinf,u) of abrocitinib and its two active metabolites, M1 and M2, compared to subjects with normal hepatic function. Subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child Pugh B) had approximately 15% increase in the combined exposure (AUCinf,u) of abrocitinib and its two active metabolites, M1 and M2, compared to subjects with normal hepatic function. These changes are not clinically significant. In clinical studies, CIBINQO has not been studied in subjects with severe (Child Pugh C) hepatic impairment, or in subjects screened positive for active hepatitis B or hepatitis C [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Drug Interaction Studies

The effect of coadministered drugs on the pharmacokinetics of abrocitinib is presented in Table 6.
| Coadministered Drugs | Regimen of Coadministered Drug | Dose of Abrocitinib | Ratio Ratios for Cmax,u and AUCinf,u compare coadministration of the drug with abrocitinib versus administration of abrocitinib alone. (90% Confidence Interval) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cmax,u | AUCinf,u | |||
| Strong CYP2C19 and moderate CYP3A inhibitor: Fluvoxamine [see Drug Interactions (7.1)] | 50 mg once daily × 9 days | 100 mg | 1.33 (1.00–1.78) | 1.91 (1.74–2.10) |

| Sensitive BCRP and OAT3 substrate: Rosuvastatin | 200 mg once daily × 3 days | 0.99 (0.86, 1.14) | 1.02 (0.93, 1.12) |
| Sensitive MATE1/2K substrate: Metformin | 200 mg once daily × 2 days | 0.88 (0.81, 0.96) | 0.93 (0.85, 1.03) |
Coadministration of dabigatran etexilate (a P-gp substrate), with a single dose of CIBINQO 200 mg increased dabigatran AUCinf and Cmax by approximately 53% and 40%, respectively, compared with administration alone. These increases in dabigatran exposure are not considered clinically significant change. However, appropriate dose titration of P-gp substrate where small concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities (e.g., digoxin) when coadministered with the CIBINQO would be needed.
In Vitro Studies
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Abrocitinib and its metabolites M1 and M2 are not inhibitors or inducers of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4.
Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) Enzymes: Abrocitinib and its metabolites M1 and M2 are not inhibitors or inducers of UGT1A1, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, or UGT2B7.
Transporter Systems: Abrocitinib is an inhibitor of organic cation transporter (OCT)1 but is not an inhibitor of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1/1B3, bile salt export pump (BSEP), OAT1 or OCT2.
