IPSEN CARES PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION
(Required for patients seeking to participate in the Patient Assistance Program)

The Patient Assistance Program (PAP) is designed to provide SOHONOS at no cost to eligible patients. Patients may be eligible to receive free drug if they are experiencing financial hardship and meet financial eligibility criteria, are uninsured or functionally uninsured, residents of the U.S., and received a valid prescription for an on-label use of SOHONOS as supported by information provided in the program application. Eligibility does not guarantee approval for participation in the program. Free SOHONOS provided by the PAP is intended only for the patient named in the application and must not be sold, transferred, or otherwise diverted. Patients must not seek reimbursement for the free drug provided by the PAP. The PAP provides SOHONOS product only, and does not cover the cost of previously purchased product or medical services. The PAP is not insurance. By submitting an application for the PAP, patient agrees to abide by these program terms.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY and PREMATURE EPIPHYSEAL CLOSURE IN GROWING PEDIATRIC PATIENTS

  • SOHONOS is contraindicated in pregnancy. SOHONOS may cause fetal harm. Because of the risk of teratogenicity and to minimize fetal exposure, SOHONOS is to be administered only if conditions for pregnancy prevention are met.
  • Premature epiphyseal closure occurs in growing pediatric patients treated with SOHONOS, close monitoring is recommended.

Contraindications

SOHONOS is contraindicated in patients during pregnancy, or with a history of allergy or hypersensitivity to retinoids, or to any component of SOHONOS.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: SOHONOS can cause fetal harm and is contraindicated during pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential to use an effective method of contraception at least 1 month prior to treatment, during treatment with SOHONOS and for 1 month after the last dose. If a pregnancy occurs during SOHONOS treatment, discontinue treatment immediately and refer the patient to an obstetrician/gynecologist experienced in reproductive toxicity. Patients should be informed not to donate blood during SOHONOS therapy and for 1 week following discontinuation.
  • Premature Epiphyseal Closure in Growing Pediatric Patients: SOHONOS can cause irreversible premature epiphyseal closure and potential adverse effects on growth. Prior to starting treatment with SOHONOS, all growing pediatric patients should undergo baseline assessment of skeletal maturity and continued monitoring until patients reach skeletal maturity or final adult height. If appropriate, temporary or permanent discontinuation may be warranted.
  • Mucocutaneous Adverse Reactions: Dry skin, lip dry, pruritus, rash, alopecia, erythema, skin exfoliation (skin peeling), and dry eye occurred with SOHONOS. Prophylactic measures to minimize risk and/or treat the mucocutaneous adverse reactions are recommended (e.g., skin emollients, sunscreen, lip moisturizers, or artificial tears). Some may require dose reduction or discontinuation. Photosensitivity reactions have been associated with the use of retinoids and may occur with SOHONOS. Precautionary measures for phototoxicity are recommended (use of sunscreens, protective clothing, and use of sunglasses).
  • Metabolic Bone Disorders: Increased risk of radiologically observed vertebral fractures and decreased vertebral bone mineral content and bone density. Periodic radiological assessment of the spine is recommended. Retinoids have been associated with hyperostotic changes (bone spurs) and calcification of tendons or ligaments may occur with SOHONOS.
  • Psychiatric Disorders: New or worsening psychiatric events were reported with SOHONOS including depression, anxiety, mood alterations, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Monitor for development of new or worsening psychiatric symptoms during treatment with SOHONOS. Patients and/or caregivers should contact their healthcare provider if new or worsening psychiatric symptoms develop during treatment with SOHONOS.
  • Night Blindness: This may be dose-dependent, making driving a vehicle at night potentially hazardous during treatment. Advise patients to be cautious when driving or operating any vehicle at night and seek medical attention in the event of vision impairment.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) are dry skin, lip dry, arthralgia, pruritus, pain in extremity, rash, alopecia, erythema, headache, back pain, skin exfoliation (skin peeling), nausea, musculoskeletal pain, myalgia, dry eye, hypersensitivity, peripheral edema, and fatigue.

Drug Interactions

  • CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase SOHONOS exposure. Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, as well as grapefruit, pomelo or juices containing these fruits.
  • CYP3A4 inducers may decrease SOHONOS exposure. Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers.
  • The use of both vitamin A and SOHONOS at the same time may lead to additive effects. Concomitant administration of vitamin A in doses higher than the recommended daily allowance and/or other oral retinoids must be avoided due to risk of hypervitaminosis A.
  • Systemic retinoid use has been associated with cases of benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri), some of which involved the concomitant use of tetracyclines. Avoid coadministration of SOHONOS with tetracycline derivatives.

Use in Specific Populations

  • Pregnancy: SOHONOS is contraindicated during pregnancy. Obtain a negative serum pregnancy test within 1 week prior to SOHONOS therapy and periodically, as needed, over the course of treatment with SOHONOS and 1 month after treatment discontinuation unless patient is not at risk of pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs during treatment with SOHONOS, stop treatment immediately and refer the patient to an obstetrician/gynecologist or other specialist experienced in reproductive toxicity for evaluation and advice.
  • Lactation: Advise females that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with SOHONOS, and for at least 1 month after the last dose.
  • Females and Males of Reproductive Potential: Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception at least 1 month prior to and during treatment, and for 1 month after the last dose unless continuous abstinence is chosen.
  • Pediatric Use: All growing pediatric patients should undergo baseline assessment of growth and skeletal maturity before starting treatment and continued clinical and radiographic monitoring every 6-12 months until patients reach skeletal maturity or final adult height.
  • Renal or Hepatic Impairment: Use of SOHONOS in patients with severe renal impairment, or with moderate or severe hepatic impairment is not recommended.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION & INDICATION for SOHONOSTM (palovarotene) Capsules

What is the most important information I should know about SOHONOS?

 

SOHONOS can cause birth defects (deformed babies) if taken during pregnancy. Females who are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant must not take SOHONOS.

  • Your healthcare provider will ask you to take a pregnancy test 1 week before starting treatment with SOHONOS, periodically during treatment, and 1 month after you stop treatment.
  • You must use effective birth control (contraception) starting at least 1 month before starting treatment with SOHONOS, during treatment, and for 1 month after the last dose. Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control methods that may be right for you.
  • If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant during treatment with SOHONOS, stop taking SOHONOS and call your healthcare provider right away.

Because SOHONOS can cause birth defects, SOHONOS is only for people who can understand and agree to carry out all instructions for pregnancy prevention.

SOHONOS can cause bone growth changes. Children may stop growing while taking SOHONOS. Bone growth changes such as permanent early closure of the growth plate in growing children have happened with SOHONOS. Your healthcare provider will closely monitor your child’s bone growth and height during treatment with SOHONOS.

Who should not take SOHONOS?

Do not take SOHONOS if you are pregnant, or allergic to medicines known as retinoids or any of the ingredients in SOHONOS.

What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking SOHONOS?

Before taking SOHONOS, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including:

  • have bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones or any other bone problems
  • have or had mental health problems
  • have or have had kidney problems
  • have or have had liver problems
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if SOHONOS passes into your breastmilk. Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with SOHONOS and for at least 1 month after the last dose of SOHONOS. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby if you take SOHONOS.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. SOHONOS and certain other medicines can interact with each other, sometimes causing serious side effects. Keep a list of your medicines to show to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

What should I avoid while taking SOHONOS?

  • Do not get pregnant while taking SOHONOS.
  • Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet lights (tanning machines). SOHONOS may make your skin more sensitive to the exposure and you may burn more easily. Apply sunscreen and wear protective clothing and sunglasses when in sunlight.
  • Avoid driving at night until you know if SOHONOS has affected your vision. SOHONOS may decrease your ability to see in the dark.
  • Do not donate blood while taking SOHONOS and for 1 week after stopping SOHONOS.

What are the possible side effects of SOHONOS?

SOHONOS can cause serious side effects, including:

  • skin-related events such as dry skin, lip and eye, hair loss, itching, redness, rash, and skin peeling. You may be at increased risk of developing skin and soft tissue infections while taking SOHONOS. If you develop these symptoms, your healthcare provider may tell you to use moisturizer, sunscreen, or artificial tears.
  • bone mineral density problems (bone thinning) which can increase the risk of fractures in adults and children. Your healthcare provider should check you for this during treatment with SOHONOS.
  • new or worsening mental health problems that may include depression, anxiety, mood changes, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. If you have a history of mental health problems, you may be at a higher risk of developing these side effects. Call your healthcare provider if you develop new or worsening mental health symptoms during treatment with SOHONOS. Your healthcare provider should monitor you for signs of depression and refer you for appropriate treatment, if necessary.
  • vision problems (night blindness) which may cause difficulty seeing at night or in low lit areas. Your healthcare provider should send you to see an eye specialist if you experience vision problems.

The most common side effects of SOHONOS include:

  • dry skin
  • dry lips
  • hair loss
  • itching
  • redness
  • rash
  • skin peeling
  • drug eruption
  • skin irritation
  • swelling and small cracks in corner of the mouth
  • nausea
  • muscle and joint pain
  • dry eyes
  • headache
  • fatigue

These are not all the possible side effects of SOHONOS. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

WHAT IS SOHONOS?

SOHONOS is a prescription medicine used to reduce the amount of new heterotopic ossification in adults and children 8 years of age and older for females and 10 years and older for males with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). SOHONOS is not recommended for females younger than 8 years of age or males younger than 10 years of age.
