Vamorolone + Itraconazole🟡Moderate

Co-administration with itraconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, increases vamorolone exposure. Dosage reduction of AGAMREE is required when used concomitantly.

Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS AGAMREE is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to vamorolone or to any of the inactive ingredients of AGAMREE. Instances of hypersensitivity, including anaphylaxis, have occurred in patients receiving corticosteroid therapy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )]. Hypersensitivity to vamorolone or any of the inactive ingredients in AGAMREE ( 4 )

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary AGAMREE is indicated for use for the treatment of DMD, which is a disease of young male patients. However, corticosteroids in general should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Infants born to mothers who have received substantial doses of corticosteroids during pregnancy should be carefully observed for signs of hypoadrenalism. There are no data on the use of AGAMREE during pregnancy. Adverse developmental outcomes, including orofacial clefts (cleft lip, with or without cleft palate) and intrauterine growth restriction, and decreased birth weight, have been reported with maternal use of corticosteroids during pregnancy. Some epidemiologic studies report an increased risk of orofacial clefts from about 1 per 1000 infants to 3 to 5 per 1000 infants; however, a risk for orofacial clefts has not been observed in all clinical studies. Intrauterine growth restriction and decreased birth weight appear to be dose-related; however, the underlying maternal condition may also contribute to these risks (see Clinical Considerations and Data ) . Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with AGAMREE. Animal reproduction studies conducted with corticosteroids in pregnant mice, rats, hamsters, and rabbits using clinically relevant doses have shown an increased incidence of cleft palate. An increase in embryofetal death, intrauterine growth retardation, and constriction of the ductus arteriosus were observed in some animal species. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Hypoadrenalism may occur in infants born to mothers receiving corticosteroids during pregnancy. Infants should be carefully observed for signs of hypoadrenalism, such as poor feeding, irritability, weakness, and vomiting, and manage
