( 5.3 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) IWILFIN can cause myelosuppression. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ], Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurred in 4.2% of patients. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 0.6% of patients. Bone marrow failure occurred in 1 patient. Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 1.4% of patients. Grade 3 anemia occurred in 3.3% of patients. Perform blood counts including neutrophil count, platelet count, and hemoglobin level prior to administration of IWILFIN and periodically during treatment. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue IWILFIN based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. IWILFIN can cause hepatotoxicity. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , Grade 3 or 4 events of increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) occurred in 11% of patients. Grade 3 or 4 events of increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 6% of patients. Grade 3 or 4 events of increased bilirubin occurred in 0.3% of patients. Increased ALT/AST leading to dose interruption or reduction occurred in 2.5% of patients. IWILFIN was discontinued due to increased ALT/AST in 0.6% of patients. Perform liver function tests (ALT, AST, and total bilirubin) prior to the start of IWILFIN, every month for the first six months of treatment, then once every 3 months or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase or bilirubin elevations. Withhold and reduce the dose or permanently discontinue IWILFIN based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. IWILFIN can cause hearing loss. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , 81% of patients had an abnormal audiogram at baseline. New or worsening hearing loss occurred in 13% of patients who received IWILFIN; hearing loss worsened from baseline to Grade 3 or 4 in 12% of patients. Tinnitus occurred in 1 patient. Hearing loss leading to dose interruption or reduction occurred in 4% of patients. New or worsening hearing loss requiring new use of hearing aids occurred in 7% of patients. IWILFIN was discontinued due to hearing loss in 1.4% of patients. Among all patients with new or worsening hearing loss during IWILFIN treatment, the hearing loss resolved to baseline in 9% of patients. Among 18 patients who experienced new or worsening hearing loss and had dose modifications, 67% (N=12) improved or resolved to baseline. Perform audiogram prior to initiation of therapy and at 6 month intervals, or as clinically indicated, to monitor for potential hearing loss. Withhold and reduce the dose or permanently discontinue IWILFIN based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.3) ]. Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, IWILFIN can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

Use in_specific_populations
Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ], IWILFIN can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of eflornithine to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryolethality at doses equivalent to the recommended human dose [see Data ] . There are no available data on the use of IWILFIN in pregnant women. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, once daily oral administration of 30, 80 or 200 mg/kg/day eflornithine to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6 to 7) resulted in reduced fetal body weights and an increase in the incidence of skeletal variations (presence of a 14th rudimentary rib, 14th full rib, 27th presacral vertebrae) at 200 mg/kg/day [approximately 0.8 to 2 times the recommended human dose of 1152 ± 384 mg/m 2 /day based on body surface area (BSA)]. In a dose range-finding embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats receiving oral administration of up to 2000 mg/kg/day eflornithine during the period of organogenesis exhibited increased early resorptions and post-implantation loss beginning at 300 mg/kg/day (approximately 1 to 2 times the recommended human dose of 1152 ± 384 mg/m 2 /day based on BSA), with 100% post-implantation loss and no viable fetuses at ≥800 mg/kg/day (approximately ≥3 to 6 times the recommended human dose of 1152 ± 384 mg/m 2 /day based on BSA). In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, once daily oral administration of 15, 45 or 135 mg/kg/day eflornithine to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 20) resulted in reduced gravid uterine weight accompanied by increased pre-implantation and post-implantation loss, increased early resorptions, and reduced fetal body weights at 135 mg/kg/day (approximately 1 to 2 times the recommended human dose of 1152 ± 384 mg/m 2 /day based on BSA). Eflornithine resulted in abortions in one animal at 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.1 to 0.2 times the recommended human dose of 1152 ± 384 mg/m 2 /day based on BSA) and one animal at 135 mg/kg/day. In a dose range-finding embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rabbits receiving oral administration of up to 500 mg/kg/day eflornithine during the period of organogenesis exhibited 100% post-implantation loss and no viable fetuses at 500 mg/kg/day (approximately 4 to 8 times the recommended human dose of 1152 ± 384 mg/m 2 /day based on BSA). There was no clear evidence of eflornithine-related fetal malformations in rats or rabbits. Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of eflornithine in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with IWILFIN and for 1 week after the last dose. Based on animal data and its mechanism of action, IWILFIN can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ]. Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating IWILFIN [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IWILFIN and for 1 week after the last dose. Males Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IWILFIN and for 1 week after the last dose. The safety and effectiveness of IWILFIN have been established to reduce the risk of relapse in pediatric patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNB) who have demonstrated at least a partial response to prior multiagent, multimodality therapy including anti-GD2 immunotherapy. Use of IWILFIN for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in pediatric patients with a median age of 4 years (range: 1 to 17) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The safety and effectiveness of IWILFIN have not been established in pediatric patients for other indications [see Indications and Usage (1) ].
How supplied
IWILFIN (eflornithine) is available as 192 mg round, white to off-white tablets imprinted with EFL on one side and 192 on the other side; approximately 11 mm in diameter and supplied as follows: Bottle of 100 tablets containing desiccant, NDC 78670-150-01 Store at room temperature, 20°C to 25°C (68°F to77°F), excursions permitted between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].
Clinical pharmacology
Eflornithine is an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of polyamines and a transcriptional target of MYCN . Polyamines are involved in differentiation and proliferation of mammalian cells and are important for neoplastic transformation. Inhibition of polyamine synthesis by eflornithine restored the balance of the LIN28/Let-7 metabolic pathway, which is involved in regulation of cancer stem cells and glycolytic metabolism, by decreasing expression of the oncogenic drivers MYCN and LIN28B in MYCN -amplified neuroblastoma. In vitro, eflornithine induced senescence and suppressed neurosphere formation in MYCN -amplified and MYCN non-amplified neuroblastoma cells, indicating a cytostatic effect. Treatment with eflornithine prevented or delayed tumor formation in mice injected with limiting dilutions of MYCN -amplified neuroblastoma cells. Eflornithine exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic responses are unknown. Cardiac Electrophysiology At the recommended dose, IWILFIN did not result in a large mean increase (i.e., >20 ms) of the QTc interval. Absorption Following oral administrations of IWILFIN, peak plasma concentrations of eflornithine (C max ) were achieved (T max ) 3.5 hours post dosing. Effect of Food The C max and AUC (area under the concentration-time curve) of eflornithine were not affected by food (high fat and high calories). Administration of crushed tablets in a standard pudding admixture had no effect on eflornithine exposure (C max and AUC 6h ). Distribution Eflornithine does not specifically bind to human plasma proteins. Eflornithine volume of distribution (Vz/F) is 24.3 L. Elimination Excretion Terminal plasma elimination half-life of eflornithine is 3.5 hours. Clearance (CL/F) is 5.3 L/h. Specific Populations Pharmacokinetic analyses from patients in Study 14 suggested that age (1 year to 19 years), sex, or body surface area (0.4 m 2 to 2 m 2 ), and mild hepatic impairment (bilirubin ≤ULN and AST>ULN or bilirubin >1 × ULN and any AST) had no clinically meaningful effects on eflornithine exposure. Renal Impairment No studies have been conducted in patients with renal impairment.
Nonclinical toxicology
In a 2-year carcinogenicity study, once daily oral administration of eflornithine to female rats did not result in drug-related neoplasms at doses up to 600 mg/kg/day (10.5 times the human C max at the recommended clinical dose of 1152 ± 384 mg/m 2 ). Eflornithine was not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Dedicated fertility studies were not conducted with eflornithine.
Clinical studies
The efficacy of IWILFIN is based on an externally controlled trial comparison of Study 3b (investigational arm) and Study ANBL0032 (clinical trial-derived external control arm). Study 3b Study 3b (NCT02395666) was a multi-center, open label, non-randomized trial with two cohorts. Eligible patients in one cohort (Stratum 1) were pediatric patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNB) who demonstrated at least a partial response to prior multiagent, multimodality therapy, including induction, consolidation, and anti-GD2 immunotherapy. A total of 105 eligible patients received IWILFIN orally twice daily, dosage based on body surface area (BSA) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for a maximum of 2 years [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ]. Tumor assessments were performed at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 months, completion of treatment, and as clinically indicated. Following completion of IWILFIN therapy, patients were followed for a total duration of 7 years. The major efficacy outcome measure was event free survival (EFS), defined as disease progression, relapse, secondary cancer, or death due to any cause. An additional efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS), defined as death due to any cause. Study 3b was prospectively designed to compare outcomes to the historical EFS rate from Study ANBL0032 reported in published literature. External Comparator: ANBL0032 The external control arm was derived from 1,241 patients on the experimental arm of Study ANBL0032, a multi-center, open-label, randomized trial of dinutuximab, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-2, and cis-retinoic acid compared to cis-retinoic acid alone in pediatric patients with HRNB previously treated with induction and consolidation therapy who demonstrated at least a partial response. Tumor assessments were performed post-immunotherapy at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months, then per standard of care for a total of 10 years. Externally Controlled Trial The efficacy population for the comparative analysis of Study 3b and ANBL0032 included patients from both studies who were less than 21 years of age with histologic verification of HRNB and who demonstrated at least a partial response based on imaging, with no evidence of disease in the bone marrow, at the end of immunotherapy, and did not experience an EFS event prior to starting IWILFIN maintenance therapy (for Study 3b), or for at least 30 days from the end of immunotherapy (for ANBL0032). Eligible patients on Study 3b received immunotherapy on ANBL0032 or were treated off study according to the ANBL0032 protocol. Patients who met the criteria for the comparison and had complete data for specified clinical covariates were matched (1:3) using propensity scores; the matched efficacy populations for the primary analysis included 90 patients treated with IWILFIN and 270 control patients from ANBL0032. The demographic characteristics of the primary analysis population (N=360) were 59% male; median age at diagnosis 3 years (range: 0.1 to 20.1); 88% White, 6% Black, 4% Asian, 7% Hispanic. The majority of patients had Stage 4 disease (86%) and MYCN amplification was observed in 44% of tumors. End of immunotherapy responses were complete response (CR; 87%), very good partial response (VGPR; 8%), or partial response (PR; 5%). In the protocol-specified primary analysis, the EFS hazard ratio (HR) was 0.48 (95% CI: 0.27, 0.85) and OS HR was 0.32 (95% CI: 0.15, 0.70). The Kaplan-Meier plot for the primary analysis of EFS, with shaded bands for each curve representing the point-wise 95% confidence intervals, is shown in Figure 1. Given the uncertainty in treatment effect estimation associated with the externally controlled study design, supplementary analyses in subpopulations or using alternative statistical methods were performed. In these analyses, the EFS HR ranged from 0.43 (95% CI: 0.23, 0.79) to 0.59 (95% CI: 0.28, 1.27), and the OS HR ranged from 0.29 (95% CI: 0.11, 0.72) to 0.45 (95% CI: 0.21, 0.98).
