Consider therapy modification Adverse Reactions >10%: Central nervous system: Drowsiness (11%) 1% to 10%: Central nervous system: Fatigue (9%), insomnia (4% to 7%), anxiety (4%), depression ( 4%), agitation ( 4%), akathisia ( 4%), restlessness ( 4%), suicidal ideation (2%) Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea (9%), xerostomia (9%), constipation (4%) Genitourinary: Urinary tract infection (7%) Hematologic & oncologic: Bruise (4%) Respiratory: Nasopharyngitis (4%) Frequency not defined: Central nervous system: Sedation ALERT: U.S. Boxed Warning Depression and suicidality in patients with Huntington disease: Deutetrabenazine can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington disease. Anyone considering the use of deutetrabenazine must balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. Closely monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Patients, their caregivers, and families should be informed of the risk of depression and suicidality and should be instructed to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician. Particular caution should be exercised in treating patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation, which are increased in frequency in Huntington disease. Deutetrabenazine is contraindicated in patients who are suicidal, and in patients with untreated or inadequately treated depression. Warnings/Precautions Concerns related to adverse effects: Akathisia: Use has been associated with akathisia; monitor for signs and symptoms of restlessness and agitation. Dosage reduction or discontinuation may be necessary. CNS depression: May cause CNS depression, which may impair physical or mental abilities; patients must be cautioned about performing tasks that require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery or driving). Depression/suicidal ideation: [US Boxed Warning]: Use can increase risk for depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior in patients with Huntington disease; closely monitor for emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual behavior changes. Use caution in patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation. Use is contraindicated in patients with Huntington disease who are suicidal or have untreated or inadequately treated depression. Consider discontinuing use if depression/suicidal ideation does not resolve. Hyperprolactinemia: May increase prolactin levels; clinical significance of hyperprolactinemia in patients with breast cancer or other prolactin-dependent tumors is unknown. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): Use may be associated with NMS; monitor for mental status changes, fever, muscle rigidity and/or autonomic instability. Discontinue with confirmed NMS; may recur with reintroduction of treatment; monitor carefully. Ophthalmic effects: Binds to melanin-containing tissues in animal studies; may result in accumulation and toxicity with extended use and long-term ophthalmic effects. Clinical relevance and monitoring recommendations are unknown. Parkinsonism: May cause parkinsonism symptoms (ie, bradykinesia, hypertonia, rigidity) in patients with Huntington disease, which can be difficult to differentiate from progression of the underlying disease. Dose reduction or discontinuation of therapy may be necessary. QTc prolongation: QTc prolongation may occur in patients who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers or are coadministered a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor. Avoid use in patients with congenital QT prolongation, a history of cardiac arrhythmias, or concomitant drugs known to cause QT prolongation. For patients at risk for QT prolongation, assess the QT interval before and after increasing total dose above 24 mg/day. Concurrent drug therapy issues: Drug-drug interactions: Potentially significant interactions may exist, requiring dose or frequency adjustment, additional monitoring, and/or selection of alternative therapy. Consult drug interactions database for more detailed information. Special populations: CYP2D6 poor metabolizers: CYP2D6 poor metabolizers have increased levels of primary drug metabolites; maximum dosage should not exceed 36 mg/day in poor metabolizers. Huntington disease: May worsen mood, cognition, rigidity, and functional capacity in patients with Huntington disease, which can be difficult to differentiate from progression of the underlying disease. Underlying chorea may improve over time in some patients, thereby decreasing the need for therapy. Re-evaluate patients' need for treatment by periodically assessing the effect on chorea and possible adverse effects. Dose reduction or discontinuation of therapy may be necessary. Monitoring Parameters Electrolytes; EKG (QT interval before and after dose is increased to >24 mg/day in patients with increased risk for QTc prolongation); signs/symptoms of depression or suicidal ideation; signs and/or symptoms of NMS, restlessness and agitation. Pregnancy Considerations Adverse events were not observed in available animal reproduction studies. Although not evaluated in preclinical studies, deutetrabenazine may increase serum prolactin concentrations which may lead to amenorrhea, galactorrhea, gynecomastia, or impotence. Patient Education Discuss specific use of drug and side effects with patient as it relates to treatment. (HCAHPS: During this hospital stay, were you given any medicine that you had not taken before? Before giving you any new medicine, how often did hospital staff tell you what the medicine was for? How often did hospital staff describe possible side effects in a way you could understand?) Patient may experience fatigue, loss of strength and energy, diarrhea, dry mouth, insomnia, rhinitis, or pharyngitis. Have patient report immediately to prescriber signs of depression (suicidal ideation, anxiety, emotional instability, or confusion), agitation, irritability, panic attacks, mood changes, signs of a urinary tract infection (hematuria, burning or painful urination, polyuria, fever, lower abdominal pain, or pelvic pain), abnormal movements, change in balance, tremors, muscle rigidity, severe fatigue, restlessness, confusion, vision changes, tachycardia, abnormal heartbeat, dizziness, passing out, nipple discharge, enlarged breasts, sexual dysfunction, amenorrhea, or signs of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (fever, muscle cramps or stiffness, dizziness, severe headache, confusion, change in thinking, tachycardia, abnormal heartbeat, or sweating a lot). (HCAHPS). Educate patient about signs of a significant reaction (eg, wheezing; chest tightness; fever; itching; bad cough; blue skin color; seizures; or swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat). Note: This is not a comprehensive list of all side effects. Patient should consult prescriber for additional questions. Intended Use and Disclaimer: Should not be printed and given to patients.
