Molecular Pharmacology and Drug Resistance: Lymphoid Neoplasms: Poster II December 7, 2025 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM INDICATIONS AND USAGE CALQUENCE is a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor indicated: In combination with bendamustine and rituximab (BR) for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who are ineligible for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). For the treatment of adult patients with MCL who have received at least one prior therapy. For the treatment of adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT CALQUENCE® (acalabrutinib) tablets Serious and Opportunistic Infections Fatal and serious infections, including opportunistic infections, have occurred in patients with hematologic malignancies treated with CALQUENCE. Serious or Grade 3 or higher infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal) occurred in 32% of 1,764 patients exposed to CALQUENCE in clinical trials, most often due to respiratory tract infections (19% of all patients, including pneumonia in 9%). These infections predominantly occurred in the absence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, with neutropenic infection reported in 2.7% of all patients. Opportunistic infections in recipients of CALQUENCE have included, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus reactivation, fungal pneumonia, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, Epstein-Barr virus reactivation, cytomegalovirus, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Consider prophylaxis in patients who are at increased risk for opportunistic infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and treat promptly. Hemorrhage Fatal and serious hemorrhagic events have occurred in patients treated with CALQUENCE. Major hemorrhage (serious or Grade 3 or higher bleeding or any central nervous system bleeding) occurred in 4.4% of patients, with fatal hemorrhage occurring in 0.2% of 1,764 patients exposed to CALQUENCE in clinical trials. Bleeding events of any grade, excluding bruising and petechiae, occurred in 40% of patients. Use of antithrombotic agents concomitantly with CALQUENCE may further increase the risk of hemorrhage. In clinical trials, major hemorrhage occurred in 7% of patients taking CALQUENCE without antithrombotic agents and 4% of patients taking CALQUENCE with antithrombotic agents. Consider the risks and benefits of antithrombotic agents when co-administered with CALQUENCE. Monitor patients for signs of bleeding. Consider the benefit-risk of withholding CALQUENCE for 3 to 7 days pre- and post-surgery depending upon the type of surgery and the risk of bleeding. Cytopenias CALQUENCE can cause Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias. Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias included absolute neutrophil count decreased (26%), platelets decreased (10%), hemoglobin decreased (10%), and absolute lymphocyte count decreased (10%) in patients treated with CALQUENCE alone or in combination with obinutuzumab; Grade 4 neutropenia developed in 14% of patients. Monitor complete blood counts regularly during treatment. Interrupt treatment, reduce the dose, or discontinue treatment as warranted. Second Primary Malignancies Second primary malignancies, including skin cancers and other solid tumors, occurred in 18% of 1,764 patients exposed to CALQUENCE in clinical trials. The most frequent second primary malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancer, reported in 10% of patients, followed by other solid tumors in 9% (including melanoma, lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancers, and genitourinary cancers) and hematologic malignancies (1%). Monitor patients for the development of second cancers and advise protection from sun exposure. Cardiac Arrhythmias Fatal and serious cardiac arrhythmias have occurred in patients treated with CALQUENCE. Grade 3 or 4 atrial fibrillation or flutter was reported in 2.6% of 1,764 patients treated with CALQUENCE, with all grades of atrial fibrillation or flutter reported in 7% of all patients. Grade 3 or higher ventricular arrhythmia events were reported in 0.6% of patients, including fatal cases in 0.3% of all patients. The risk of arrhythmias may be increased in patients with cardiac risk factors, hypertension, previous arrhythmias, and acute infection. Monitor for symptoms of arrhythmia (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, syncope, dyspnea) and manage as appropriate. Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury Hepatotoxicity, including severe, life-threatening, and potentially fatal cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), has occurred in patients treated with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including CALQUENCE. Evaluate bilirubin and transaminases at baseline and throughout treatment with CALQUENCE. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests after CALQUENCE, monitor more frequently for liver test abnormalities and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatic toxicity. If DILI is suspected, withhold CALQUENCE. Upon confirmation of DILI, discontinue CALQUENCE. ADVERSE REACTIONS Previously Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma The most common adverse reactions (≥15%) of any grade in patients with previously untreated MCL who received CALQUENCE plus BR were rash (47%), COVID-19 (38%), fatigue (37%), diarrhea (37%), pneumonia (31%), headache (31%), upper respiratory tract infection (30%), pyrexia (29%), cough (27%), vomiting (26%), constipation (25%), hemorrhage (20%), edema (20%), secondary primary malignancy (19%), dizziness (18%), arthralgia (18%), and dyspnea (17%). Grade 4 laboratory abnormalities in >15% of patients treated with CALQUENCE plus BR include lymphocytes decreased (26%), absolute neutrophils decreased (36%), and uric acid increased (17%). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 69% of patients who received CALQUENCE plus BR. Serious adverse reactions reported in ≥2% of patients were pneumonia (23%; includes COVID-19 pneumonia), COVID-19 (20%; includes COVID-19 pneumonia), second primary malignancy (7%), pyrexia (6%), rash (3.4%), febrile neutropenia (3.4%), atrial fibrillation (3%), sepsis (2.7%), and anemia (2.4%). Fatal adverse reactions that occurred within 30 days of the last study treatment were reported in 12% who received CALQUENCE plus BR including COVID-19 (6%; includes COVID-19 pneumonia), pneumonia (1%), second primary malignancy (0.7%), sepsis (0.3%), and pneumonitis (0.3%). Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of CALQUENCE in 43%, dosage interruptions in 74%, and dosage reductions in 10% of patients. Adverse reactions that resulted in dosage modification in >10% included infections, cytopenias, rashes, and gastrointestinal toxicity. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of CALQUENCE in ≥4% of patients included COVID-19 (includes COVID-19 pneumonia) and neutropenia. Previously Treated Mantle Cell Lymphoma The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) of any grade in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL exposed to CALQUENCE were anemia,* thrombocytopenia,* headache (39%), neutropenia,* diarrhea (31%), fatigue (28%), myalgia (21%), and bruising (21%). The most common Grade ≥3 non-hematological adverse reaction (reported in at least 2% of patients) was diarrhea (3.2%). *Treatment-emergent decreases (all grades) of hemoglobin (46%), platelets (44%), and neutrophils (36%) were based on laboratory measurements and adverse reactions. Dose reductions or discontinuations due to any adverse reaction were reported in 1.6% and 6.5% of patients, respectively. Increases in creatinine to 1.5 to 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) occurred in 4.8% of patients. Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia The most common adverse reactions (≥30%) of any grade in patients with CLL exposed to CALQUENCE were anemia,* neutropenia,* thrombocytopenia,* headache, upper respiratory tract infection, and diarrhea. *Treatment-emergent decreases (all grades) of hemoglobin, platelets, and neutrophils were based on laboratory measurements and adverse reactions. In patients with previously untreated CLL exposed to CALQUENCE, fatal adverse reactions that occurred in the absence of disease progression and with onset within 30 days of the last study treatment were reported in 2% for each treatment arm, most often from infection. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 39% of patients in the CALQUENCE plus obinutuzumab arm and 32% in the CALQUENCE monotherapy arm, most often due to events of pneumonia (2.8% to 7%). Adverse reactions led to CALQUENCE dose reduction in 7% and 4% of patients in the CALQUENCE plus obinutuzumab arm (N=178) and CALQUENCE monotherapy arm (N=179), respectively. Adverse events led to discontinuation in 11% and 10% of patients, respectively. Increases in creatinine to 1.5 to 3 times ULN occurred in 3.9% and 2.8% of patients in the CALQUENCE combination arm and monotherapy arm, respectively. In patients with relapsed/refractory CLL exposed to CALQUENCE, serious adverse reactions occurred in 29% of patients. Serious adverse reactions in >5% of patients who received CALQUENCE included lower respiratory tract infection (6%). Fatal adverse reactions within 30 days of the last dose of CALQUENCE occurred in 2.6% of patients, including from second primary malignancies and infection. Adverse reactions led to CALQUENCE dose reduction in 3.9% of patients (N=154), dose interruptions in 34% of patients, most often due to respiratory tract infections followed by neutropenia, and discontinuation in 10% of patients, most frequently due to second primary malignancies followed by infection. Increases in creatinine to 1.5 to 3 times ULN occurred in 1.3% of patients who received CALQUENCE. DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid co-administration of CALQUENCE with a strong CYP3A inhibitor. If these inhibitors will be used short-term, interrupt CALQUENCE. After discontinuation of strong CYP3A inhibitor for at least 24 hours, resume previous dosage of CALQUENCE. Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Reduce the dosage of CALQUENCE to 100 mg once daily when co-administered with a moderate CYP3A inhibitor. Strong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid co-administration of CALQUENCE with a strong CYP3A inducer. If co-administration is unavoidable, increase the dosage of CALQUENCE to 200 mg approximately every 12 hours. SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Based on findings in animals, CALQUENCE may cause fetal harm and dystocia when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating CALQUENCE therapy. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with CALQUENCE and for 1 week following the last dose of CALQUENCE. It is not known if CALQUENCE is present in human milk. Advise lactating women not to breastfeed while taking CALQUENCE and for 2 weeks after the last dose. Avoid use of CALQUENCE in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C). No dosage adjustment of CALQUENCE is recommended in patients with mild (Child-Pugh class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh class B) hepatic impairment. Please see full Prescribing Information, including Patient Information. INDICATIONS & IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for ULTOMIRIS INDICATIONS Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) ULTOMIRIS is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients one month of age and older with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) ULTOMIRIS is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients one month of age and older with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) to inhibit complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Limitation of Use: ULTOMIRIS is not indicated for the treatment of patients with Shiga toxin E. coli related hemolytic uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS). Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) ULTOMIRIS is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody-positive. Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) ULTOMIRIS is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who are anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody positive. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: SERIOUS MENINGOCOCCAL INFECTIONS ULTOMIRIS, a complement inhibitor, increases the risk of serious infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Life-threatening and fatal meningococcal infections have occurred in patients treated with complement inhibitors. These infections may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated early. Because of the risk of serious meningococcal infections, ULTOMIRIS is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called ULTOMIRIS and SOLIRIS REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. CONTRAINDICATIONS Initiation in patients with unresolved serious Neisseria meningitidis infection. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Serious Meningococcal Infections ULTOMIRIS, a complement inhibitor, increases a patient’s susceptibility to serious, life-threatening, or fatal infections caused by meningococcal bacteria (septicemia and/or meningitis) in any serogroup, including non-groupable strains. Life-threatening and fatal meningococcal infections have occurred in both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients treated with complement inhibitors. Revaccinate patients in accordance with ACIP recommendations considering the duration of ULTOMIRIS therapy. Note that ACIP recommends an administration schedule in patients receiving complement inhibitors that differs from the administration schedule in the vaccine prescribing information. If urgent ULTOMIRIS therapy is indicated in a patient who is not up to date with meningococcal vaccines according to ACIP recommendations, provide antibacterial drug prophylaxis and administer meningococcal vaccines as soon as possible. Various durations and regimens of antibacterial drug prophylaxis have been considered, but the optimal durations and drug regimens for prophylaxis and their efficacy have not been studied in unvaccinated or vaccinated patients receiving complement inhibitors, including ULTOMIRIS. The benefits and risks of treatment with ULTOMIRIS, as well as those associated with antibacterial drug prophylaxis in unvaccinated or vaccinated patients, must be considered against the known risks for serious infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis. Vaccination does not eliminate the risk of serious meningococcal infections, despite development of antibodies following vaccination. Closely monitor patients for early signs and symptoms of meningococcal infection and evaluate patients immediately if infection is suspected. Inform patients of these signs and symptoms and instruct patients to seek immediate medical care if they occur. Promptly treat known infections. Meningococcal infection may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated early. Consider interruption of ULTOMIRIS in patients who are undergoing treatment for serious meningococcal infection depending on the risks of interrupting treatment in the disease being treated. ULTOMIRIS and SOLIRIS REMS Due to the risk of serious meningococcal infections, ULTOMIRIS is available only through a restricted program called ULTOMIRIS and SOLIRIS REMS. Prescribers must enroll in the REMS, counsel patients about the risk of serious meningococcal infection, provide patients with the REMS educational materials, assess patient vaccination status for meningococcal vaccines (against serogroups A, C, W, Y, and B) and vaccinate if needed according to current ACIP recommendations two weeks prior to the first dose of ULTOMIRIS. Antibacterial drug prophylaxis must be prescribed if treatment must be started urgently, and the patient is not up to date with both meningococcal vaccines according to current ACIP recommendations at least two weeks prior to the first dose of ULTOMIRIS. Patients must receive counseling about the need to receive meningococcal vaccines and to take antibiotics as directed, signs and symptoms of meningococcal infection, and be instructed to carry the Patient Safety Card at all times during and for 8 months following ULTOMIRIS treatment. Further information is available at www.UltSolREMS.com or 1-888-765-4747. Other Infections Serious infections with Neisseria species (other than Neisseria meningitidis), including disseminated gonococcal infections, have been reported. ULTOMIRIS blocks terminal complement activation; therefore, patients may have increased susceptibility to infections, especially with encapsulated bacteria, such as infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis but also Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and to a lesser extent, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Children treated with ULTOMIRIS may be at increased risk of developing serious infections due to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Administer vaccinations for the prevention of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infections according to ACIP recommendations. Patients receiving ULTOMIRIS are at increased risk for infections due to these organisms, even if they develop antibodies following vaccination. Monitoring Disease Manifestations after ULTOMIRIS Discontinuation Treatment Discontinuation for PNH After discontinuing treatment with ULTOMIRIS, closely monitor for signs and symptoms of hemolysis, identified by elevated LDH along with sudden decrease in PNH clone size or hemoglobin, or re-appearance of symptoms such as fatigue, hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, shortness of breath (dyspnea), major adverse vascular event (including thrombosis), dysphagia, or erectile dysfunction. Monitor any patient who discontinues ULTOMIRIS for at least 16 weeks to detect hemolysis and other reactions. If signs and symptoms of hemolysis occur after discontinuation, including elevated LDH, consider restarting treatment with ULTOMIRIS. Treatment Discontinuation for aHUS ULTOMIRIS treatment of aHUS should be a minimum duration of 6 months. Due to heterogeneous nature of aHUS events and patient-specific risk factors, treatment duration beyond the initial 6 months should be individualized. There are no specific data on ULTOMIRIS discontinuation. After discontinuing treatment with ULTOMIRIS, patients should be monitored for clinical symptoms and laboratory signs of TMA complications for at least 12 months. TMA complications post-discontinuation can be identified if any of the following is observed: Clinical symptoms of TMA include changes in mental status, seizures, angina, dyspnea, thrombosis or increasing blood pressure. In addition, at least two of the following laboratory signs observed concurrently and results should be confirmed by a second measurement 28 days apart with no interruption: a decrease in platelet count of 25% or more as compared to either baseline or to peak platelet count during ULTOMIRIS treatment; an increase in serum creatinine of 25% or more as compared to baseline or to nadir during ULTOMIRIS treatment; or, an increase in serum LDH of 25% or more as compared to baseline or to nadir during ULTOMIRIS treatment. If TMA complications occur after discontinuation, consider reinitiation of ULTOMIRIS treatment or appropriate organ-specific supportive measures. Thromboembolic Event Management The effect of withdrawal of anticoagulant therapy during treatment with ULTOMIRIS has not been established. Treatment should not alter anticoagulant management. Infusion-Related Reactions Administration of ULTOMIRIS may result in systemic infusion-related reactions, including anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity reactions. In clinical trials, infusion-related reactions occurred in approximately 1 to 7% of patients, including lower back pain, abdominal pain, muscle spasms, drop or elevation in blood pressure, rigors, limb discomfort, drug hypersensitivity (allergic reaction), and dysgeusia (bad taste). These reactions did not require discontinuation of ULTOMIRIS. If signs of cardiovascular instability or respiratory compromise occur, interrupt ULTOMIRIS and institute appropriate supportive measures. ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse Reactions for PNH Adverse reactions reported in ≥10% or more of patients with PNH were upper respiratory tract infection and headache. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 15 (6.8%) patients receiving ULTOMIRIS. The serious adverse reactions in patients treated with ULTOMIRIS included hyperthermia and pyrexia. No serious adverse reaction was reported in more than 1 patient treated with ULTOMIRIS. One fatal case of sepsis was identified in a patient treated with ULTOMIRIS. In clinical studies, clinically relevant adverse reactions in 1% of adult patients include infusion-related reactions. Adverse reactions reported in ≥10% of pediatric patients treated with ULTOMIRIS who were treatment-naïve vs. Eculizumab-experienced were anemia (20% vs. 25%), abdominal pain (0% vs. 38%), constipation (0% vs. 25%), pyrexia (20% vs. 13%), upper respiratory tract infection (20% vs. 75%), pain in extremity (0% vs. 25%), and headache (20% vs. 25%). Adverse Reactions for aHUS Most common adverse reactions in patients with aHUS (incidence ≥20%) were upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, hypertension and pyrexia. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 42 (57%) patients with aHUS receiving ULTOMIRIS. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in more than 2 patients (2.7%) treated with ULTOMIRIS were hypertension, pneumonia and abdominal pain. Adverse reactions reported in ≥20% of pediatric patients treated with ULTOMIRIS were diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, pyrexia, upper respiratory tract infection, decreased vitamin D, headache, cough, rash, and hypertension. Adverse Reactions for gMG Most common adverse reactions in adult patients with gMG (incidence ≥10%) were diarrhea and upper respiratory tract infection. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 20 (23%) of patients treated with ULTOMIRIS and in 14 (16%) patients receiving placebo. The most frequent serious adverse reactions were infections reported in at least 8 (9%) patients treated with ULTOMIRIS and in 4 (4%) patients treated with placebo. Of these infections, one fatal case of COVID-19 pneumonia was identified in a patient treated with ULTOMIRIS and one case of infection led to discontinuation of ULTOMIRIS. Adverse Reactions for NMOSD Most common adverse reactions in adult patients with NMOSD (incidence ≥10%) were COVID-19, headache, back pain, arthralgia, and urinary tract infection. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 8 (13.8%) patients with NMOSD receiving ULTOMIRIS. DRUG INTERACTIONS Plasma Exchange, Plasmapheresis, and Intravenous Immunoglobulins Concomitant use of ULTOMIRIS with plasma exchange (PE), plasmapheresis (PP), or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment can reduce serum ravulizumab concentrations and requires a supplemental dose of ULTOMIRIS. Neonatal Fc Receptor Blockers Concomitant use of ULTOMIRIS with neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blockers (e.g., efgartigimod) may lower systemic exposures and reduce effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS. Closely monitor for reduced effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ULTOMIRIS during pregnancy.

INDICATION & IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR VOYDEYA™ (danicopan) INDICATION VOYDEYA is indicated as an add-on therapy to ravulizumab or eculizumab for the treatment of extravascular hemolysis (EVH) in adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Limitation of Use: VOYDEYA has not been shown to be effective as monotherapy and should only be prescribed as an add-on to ravulizumab or eculizumab. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS CAUSED BY ENCAPSULATED BACTERIA VOYDEYA, a complement inhibitor, increases the risk of serious infections, especially those caused by encapsulated bacteria, such as Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae type B [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Life-threatening and fatal infections with encapsulated bacteria have occurred in patients treated with complement inhibitors. These infections may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated early. Because of the risk of serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, VOYDEYA is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the VOYDEYA REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. CONTRAINDICATIONS Initiation in patients with unresolved serious infection caused by encapsulated bacteria, including Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Haemophilus influenzae type B. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Serious Infections Caused by Encapsulated Bacteria VOYDEYA, a complement inhibitor, increases a patient’s susceptibility to serious, life-threatening, or fatal infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, including Neisseria meningitidis (caused by any serogroup, including non-groupable strains), Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae type B. Life-threatening and fatal infections with encapsulated bacteria have occurred in both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients treated with complement inhibitors. Complete, update, or revaccinate patients in accordance with ACIP recommendations considering the duration of VOYDEYA therapy. Note that ACIP recommends an administration schedule in patients receiving complement inhibitors that differs from the administration schedule in the vaccine prescribing information. If urgent VOYDEYA therapy is indicated in a patient who is not up to date with vaccines against encapsulated bacteria according to ACIP recommendations, provide antibacterial drug prophylaxis and administer these vaccines as soon as possible. Various durations and regimens of antibacterial drug prophylaxis have been considered, but the optimal durations and drug regimens for prophylaxis and their efficacy have not been studied in unvaccinated or vaccinated patients receiving complement inhibitors, including VOYDEYA. The benefits and risks of treatment with VOYDEYA, as well as those associated with antibacterial drug prophylaxis in unvaccinated or vaccinated patients, must be considered against the known risks for serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria. Vaccination does not eliminate the risk of serious encapsulated bacterial infections, despite development of antibodies following vaccination. Closely monitor patients for early signs and symptoms of serious infection and evaluate patients immediately if an infection is suspected. Inform patients of these signs and symptoms and instruct patients to seek immediate medical care if they occur. Promptly treat known infections. Serious infection may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated early. Consider interruption of VOYDEYA in patients who are undergoing treatment for serious infections. VOYDEYA REMS Due to the risk of serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, VOYDEYA is available only through a restricted program called VOYDEYA REMS. Per the REMS requirements: Prescribers must enroll in the REMS, counsel patients about the risk of serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, provide patients with the REMS educational materials, assess patient vaccination status for vaccines against encapsulated bacteria, and vaccinate if needed according to current ACIP recommendations 2 weeks prior to the first dose of VOYDEYA. Antibacterial drug prophylaxis must be prescribed if treatment must be started urgently and the patient is not up to date with vaccines against encapsulated bacteria according to current ACIP recommendations at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of VOYDEYA. Pharmacies that dispense VOYDEYA must be certified in the VOYDEYA REMS and must verify prescribers are certified. Patients must receive counseling from the prescriber about the need to receive vaccinations against encapsulated bacteria per ACIP recommendations, to take antibiotics as directed, the early signs and symptoms of serious infection, and be instructed to carry the Patient Safety Card at all times during and for 1 week following the last dose of VOYDEYA. Further information is available at www.voydeyarems.com or 1-888-765-4747. Hepatic Enzyme Increases Hepatic enzyme elevations have been observed in patients treated with VOYDEYA. A total of 14% of patients receiving VOYDEYA had elevations in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT). ALT elevations >3× the upper limit of normal (ULN) and ≤5× ULN occurred in 9% of VOYDEYA-treated patients, and ALT elevations >5× ULN and ≤10× ULN occurred in 5% of VOYDEYA-treated patients. Assess liver enzyme test results prior to the initiation of VOYDEYA and periodically during treatment. Consider treatment interruption or discontinuation if elevations are clinically significant or if the patient becomes symptomatic. VOYDEYA has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Monitoring of PNH Manifestations After VOYDEYA Discontinuation After discontinuing treatment with VOYDEYA, closely monitor patients for at least 2 weeks after the last dose for signs and symptoms of hemolysis. If discontinuation of VOYDEYA is necessary, continue background treatment with ravulizumab or eculizumab or consider alternative therapy if necessary. The signs and symptoms of hemolysis may include sudden decrease in hemoglobin or fatigue. If hemolysis occurs after discontinuation of VOYDEYA, consider restarting treatment with VOYDEYA, if appropriate. Hyperlipidemia VOYDEYA increases total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. Of the 50 VOYDEYA-treated patients who had a normal total cholesterol level at baseline, 30% developed Grade 1 hypercholesterolemia. Of the 6 VOYDEYA-treated patients who had Grade 1 hypercholesterolemia at baseline, 1 patient experienced increased total cholesterol that worsened to Grade 2. Of the 54 VOYDEYA-treated patients who had LDL-cholesterol ≤130 mg/dL at baseline, 13% developed LDL-cholesterol >130-160 mg/dL, and 9% developed LDL-cholesterol >160-190 mg/dL. Some patients required cholesterol-lowering medications. Monitor serum lipid parameters periodically during treatment with VOYDEYA and initiate cholesterol-lowering medication, if indicated. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reaction reported in ≥10% of patients treated with VOYDEYA was headache. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 5% of patients who received VOYDEYA and included pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and increased blood bilirubin. No specific serious adverse reaction was reported in more than 1 patient treated with VOYDEYA. Adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of patients treated with VOYDEYA and greater than placebo in the randomized, controlled period included vomiting, pyrexia, increased alanine aminotransferase, hypertension, and pain in the extremities. Clinically relevant adverse reactions in <5% of patients included increased serum triglycerides. DRUG INTERACTIONS BCRP Substrates Danicopan is a Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) inhibitor. Concomitant use of VOYDEYA with a BCRP substrate increases the plasma concentrations of the BCRP substrate, which may increase the risk for adverse reactions associated with the BCRP substrate. If used together, monitor patients more frequently for adverse reactions, associated with the BCRP substrate and consider dose reduction of the BCRP substrate according to its prescribing information. Rosuvastatin Danicopan significantly increased rosuvastatin exposure. The dose of rosuvastatin should not exceed 10mg once daily when concomitantly used with VOYDEYA. P-glycoprotein Substrates Danicopan is an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Concomitant administration of VOYDEYA with P-gp substrates may increase the plasma concentrations of the P-gp substrates. Dose adjustment might be necessary for P-gp substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy There are no available data on VOYDEYA use in pregnant individuals to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with untreated PNH in pregnancy. The use of VOYDEYA in pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant may be considered following an assessment of the risks and benefits. Lactation There are no data on the presence of VOYDEYA in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effect on milk production. VOYDEYA is present in animal milk. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, including serious infections with encapsulated bacteria and liver enzyme increases, advise patients not to breastfeed during treatment with VOYDEYA and for 3 days after the last dose. Hepatic Impairment No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. Studies have not been conducted in patients with severe hepatic impairment, therefore, avoid use of VOYDEYA in this patient population. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-844-259-6783 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information for VOYDEYA (danicopan), including Boxed WARNING regarding serious and life-threatening or fatal infections. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS Known hypersensitivity to benralizumab or excipients. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis, angioedema, urticaria, rash) have occurred after administration of FASENRA. These reactions generally occur within hours of administration, but in some instances have a delayed onset (i.e., days). Discontinue in the event of a hypersensitivity reaction. Acute Asthma Symptoms or Deteriorating Disease FASENRA should not be used to treat acute asthma symptoms, acute exacerbations, or acute bronchospasm. Reduction of Corticosteroid Dosage Do not discontinue systemic or inhaled corticosteroids abruptly upon initiation of therapy with FASENRA. Reductions in corticosteroid dose, if appropriate, should be gradual and performed under the direct supervision of a physician. Reduction in corticosteroid dose may be associated with systemic withdrawal symptoms and/or unmask conditions previously suppressed by systemic corticosteroid therapy. Parasitic (Helminth) Infection It is unknown if FASENRA will influence a patient’s response against helminth infections. Treat patients with pre-existing helminth infections before initiating therapy with FASENRA. If patients become infected while receiving FASENRA and do not respond to anti-helminth treatment, discontinue FASENRA until infection resolves. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) include headache and pharyngitis. Injection site reactions (e.g., pain, erythema, pruritus, papule) occurred at a rate of 2.2% in patients treated with FASENRA compared with 1.9% in patients treated with placebo in asthma exacerbation studies. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS The data on pregnancy exposure from the clinical trials are insufficient to inform on drug-associated risk. Monoclonal antibodies such as benralizumab are transported across the placenta during the third trimester of pregnancy; therefore, potential effects on a fetus are likely to be greater during the third trimester of pregnancy. INDICATIONS FASENRA is indicated for: the add-on maintenance treatment of patients with severe asthma aged 6 years and older and with an eosinophilic phenotype. FASENRA is not indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm or status asthmaticus the treatment of adult patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) Please read Prescribing Information, including Patient Information. CALQUENCE CALQUENCE (acalabrutinib) is a second-generation, selective inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK). CALQUENCE binds covalently to BTK, thereby inhibiting its activity.

CALQUENCE has been used to treat more than 85,000 patients worldwide and is approved for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) in the US and Japan, approved for CLL in the EU and many other countries worldwide and approved in China for relapsed or refractory CLL and SLL. CALQUENCE is also approved for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated MCL in the US, and in China and several other countries for the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy. CALQUENCE is not currently approved for the treatment of MCL in Japan or the EU. As part of an extensive clinical development program, CALQUENCE is currently being evaluated as a single treatment and in combination with standard-of-care chemoimmunotherapy for patients with multiple B-cell blood cancers, including CLL, MCL and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. ULTOMIRIS® (ravulizumab-cwvz) ULTOMIRIS® (ravulizumab-cwvz), the longest-acting C5 complement inhibitor, provides immediate, complete and sustained complement inhibition. The medication works by inhibiting the C5 protein in the terminal complement cascade, a part of the body’s immune system. When activated in an uncontrolled manner, the complement cascade over-responds, leading the body to attack its own healthy cells. Following a loading dose, ULTOMIRIS is administered intravenously every eight weeks in adults, or every four or eight weeks in pediatric patients (based on body weight). ULTOMIRIS is approved in the US, EU, Japan and other countries for the treatment of certain adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and is also approved for certain children with PNH in the US, EU and other countries. ULTOMIRIS is also approved in the US, EU, Japan and other countries for the treatment of certain adults and children with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Additionally, ULTOMIRIS is approved in the US, EU, Japan, China and other countries for the treatment of certain adults with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). Further, ULTOMIRIS is approved in the US, EU, Japan, China and other countries for the treatment of certain adults with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). ULTOMIRIS is being assessed as a treatment for additional indications as part of a broad development program. VOYDEYA™ (danicopan) VOYDEYA™ (danicopan) is a first-in-class oral Factor D inhibitor. The medication works by selectively inhibiting Factor D, a complement system protein that plays a key role in the amplification of the complement system response. When activated in an uncontrolled manner, the complement cascade over-responds, leading the body to attack its own healthy cells. VOYDEYA has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the US Food and Drug Administration and PRIority MEdicines (PRIME) status by the European Medicines Agency. VOYDEYA has also been granted Orphan Drug Designation in the US, EU and Japan for the treatment of PNH. VOYDEYA is approved in the US, EU, Japan and other countries as add-on therapy to ravulizumab or eculizumab for the treatment of certain adults with PNH.
