Prescribe the most appropriate dosage form of VIJOICE according to the dose required and patient needs. VIJOICE Tablets (50 mg, 125 mg, and 200 mg) may be administered as: Whole tablets: For patients who can swallow whole tablets. Tablets prepared as an oral suspension: For patients who have difficulty swallowing whole tablets [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)] . VIJOICE Oral Granules (50 mg per packet): For patients who are prescribed a 50 mg daily dose only [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] . Do not use multiple 50 mg packets or a partial packet of oral granules for patients prescribed a 125 mg or a 250 mg dose [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Do not combine VIJOICE tablets and VIJOICE oral granules to achieve the prescribed dose. 2.3 VIJOICE Administration Overview Take VIJOICE with food at approximately the same time each day [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . If a dose of VIJOICE is missed, it can be taken with food within 9 hours after the time it is usually taken. After more than 9 hours, skip the dose for that day. The next day, take VIJOICE at the usual time. If the patient vomits after taking the dose, advise the patient not to take an additional dose on that day, and to resume the dosing schedule the next day at the usual time. 2.4 VIJOICE Preparation and Administration Instructions VIJOICE Tablets Swallow VIJOICE tablets whole, or prepare as a suspension to administer orally, or via feeding tubes. VIJOICE Tablets, Whole Swallow VIJOICE tablets whole and take with food. Do not chew, divide, or crush. Do not use broken, cracked, or damaged tablets. VIJOICE Tablets Prepared as a Suspension for Oral use, or Feeding Tubes (Nasogastric or Gastric Tube) Administration For patients who are not able to swallow tablets, or who are using a feeding tube, prepare and administer VIJOICE as a suspension and take with food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . To prepare VIJOICE tablets as a suspension for oral use, place VIJOICE tablets in a cup containing 2 to 4 ounces of water. To prepare VIJOICE tablets as a suspension for feeding tubes administration, place VIJOICE tablets in a cup containing 1 to 2 ounces of water. Make the suspension with water only. Let tablets stand in water for approximately 5 minutes. Crush the tablets with a spoon and stir until a suspension is obtained. Immediately after preparation, administer the suspension as directed below. If not administered immediately after preparation, stir the suspension with the same spoon to re-suspend any particles before administration. Discard the suspension if it is not administered within 60 minutes after preparation. Oral Administration Administer the suspension from the cup. After administration of the suspension, add approximately 1 to 2 ounces of water to the same cup. Stir with the same spoon to re-suspend any remaining particles and administer the entire contents of the cup orally. Repeat if particles remain. Feeding Tubes Administration Administer VIJOICE tablets prepared as a suspension via French size 5 to 12 diameter silicone or polyurethane nasogastric tubes, or via French size 12 to 24 diameter silicone gastric tubes. Withdraw VIJOICE suspension from the cup into an enteral syringe and administer it via the nasogastric or gastric tube. After administration, add approximately 1 to 2 ounces (approximately 30 to 60 mL) of water to the same cup. Stir with the same spoon to re-suspend any remaining particles. Withdraw the contents of the cup into the same enteral syringe and administer it via the nasogastric or gastric tube. Repeat if particles remain. VIJOICE Oral Granules Administer VIJOICE oral granules directly onto the tongue with water, or prepare as a suspension or a mixture for oral use. To administer via feeding tubes prepare the suspension with water only. Each packet is for single use only. No packet should be used if the packet seal is broken. Do not attempt to use partial quantities of oral granules from 50 mg granules packets to prepare a dose. Do not combine VIJOICE tablets and VIJOICE oral granules to achieve the prescribed dose of 125 mg or 250 mg. For patients for whom a daily dose of 50 mg is prescribed, administer VIJOICE oral granules [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] in one of the following ways: VIJOICE Oral Granules for Direct Oral Administration Pour the contents of one VIJOICE oral granules packet directly onto the tongue and swallow with approximately 2 to 4 ounces of water. If needed, rinse the mouth with additional water and swallow to ensure no particles remain in the mouth. VIJOICE Oral Granules as a Suspension or a Mixture for Oral administration Pour the contents of one VIJOICE oral granules packet into a cup. Add 1 to 3 teaspoons (about 0.5 ounces) of a beverage (water, milk, or apple juice) or soft food (applesauce or yogurt) and stir with a spoon, then administer the suspension or the mixture immediately. Rinse the cup with up to 2 ounces of a beverage (water, milk or apple juice) and administer the rinse immediately to ensure the entire dose is administered. If particles remain, repeat until the full dose is administered. If not administered immediately after preparation, stir the suspension or the mixture with the same spoon to re-suspend any particles before administration. Discard the oral granules mixed with water, milk, apple juice, applesauce, or yogurt if they are not administered within 60 minutes after preparation. VIJOICE Oral Granules Suspension for Feeding Tubes Administration For patients who are not able to swallow VIJOICE orally, administer VIJOICE via feeding tubes. Administer VIJOICE granules via French size 8 to 12 diameter silicone or polyurethane nasogastric tubes or via French size 12 to 24 diameter silicone gastric tubes. Pour the contents of one VIJOICE granules packet into a cup. Add 4 teaspoons (about 0.7 ounces or 20 mL) of water and stir gently with a spoon until a suspension is obtained. Make the suspension with water only. Immediately after preparation, withdraw the suspension from the cup into an enteral syringe and administer it via the nasogastric or gastric tube. After administration, add 4 teaspoons (about 0.7 ounces or 20 mL) of water to the same cup. Stir with the same spoon to re-suspend any remaining particles. Withdraw the contents of the cup into the same enteral syringe and administer it via the nasogastric or gastric tube. Repeat if particles remain. If not administered immediately after preparation, stir the suspension with the same spoon to re-suspend any particles before withdrawing into an enteral syringe for administration. Discard the suspension if it is not administered within 60 minutes after preparation. 2.5 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended VIJOICE dose reductions for adverse reactions in adult and pediatric patients are listed in Table 2 and Table 3, respectively.

The safety of VIJOICE was evaluated in EPIK-P1 (NCT04285723), a single-arm clinical study in patients who were treated as part of an expanded access program for compassionate use. Fifty-seven patients 2 years of age and older with severe or life-threatening PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS) received VIJOICE based on age at dosages ranging from 50 mg to 250 mg orally once daily [see Clinical Studies (14)] . Among patients who received VIJOICE, 95% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 79% were exposed for greater than one year. The median age of patients who received VIJOICE was 14 years (range, 2 to 50); 58% were female; 12% were White and race was not reported for 88%. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 12% of patients who received VIJOICE. Serious adverse reactions occurring in two or more patients included dehydration (n = 2) and cellulitis (n = 2). Dosage interruption of VIJOICE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 11% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in two or more patients included dizziness (n = 2) and vomiting (n = 2). Dose reductions of VIJOICE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 5% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reduction included alopecia, memory impairment, and soft tissue infection. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) were diarrhea, stomatitis, and hyperglycemia.

( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal data and mechanism of action, VIJOICE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)] . There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of alpelisib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality (post-implantation loss), reduced fetal weights, and increased incidences of fetal malformations at doses described below ( see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. However, the estimated background risk of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population. Data Animal Data In embryo-fetal development studies in rats and rabbits, pregnant animals received oral doses of alpelisib during the period of organogenesis. In the rat study, animals were dosed at 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day from gestation day 6 to 17; and in the rabbit study, animals were dosed at 3, 15, 25, and 30 mg/kg/day from gestation day 7 to 20. In rats, oral administration of alpelisib resulted in maternal toxicity (body weight loss, low food consumption) and no viable fetuses (post-implantation loss) at 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 3.6 to 1.2 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA). At a dose of 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.2 to 0.4 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA), toxicities included reduced fetal weight and increased incidences of skeletal malformations (bent scapula and thickened or bent long bones) and fetal variations (enlarged brain ventricle, decreased bone ossification). In a pilot embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, a dose of 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 7 to 2.2 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients based on BSA) resulted in no viable fetuses (post-implantation loss). Doses ≥ 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 3.5 to 1.1 times the initial recommended doses of 50 mg and 250 mg in pediatric and adult patients, respectively, based on BSA) resulted in increased embryo-fetal deaths, reduced fetal weights, and malformations, mostly related to the tail and head. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of alpelisib in human milk, its effects on milk production, or the breastfed child. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise lactating women to not breastfeed during treatment with VIJOICE and for 1 week after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating VIJOICE. Contraception Females VIJOICE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)] . Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VIJOICE and for 1 week after the last dose. Males Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use condoms and effective contraception during treatment with VIJOICE and for 1 week after the last dose. Infertility Based on findings from animal studies, VIJOICE may impair fertility in males and females of reproductive potential [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)] . 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of VIJOICE have been established in pediatric patients 2 to less than 18 years of age with PROS based on results from a single-arm clinical study of VIJOICE (EPIK-P1) that enrolled 39 pediatric patients: 11 patients aged 2 to 5 years, 12 patients aged 6 to 11 years, and 16 patients aged 12 to less than 18 years of age [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14)] . The safety and effectiveness of VIJOICE in pediatric patients below the age of 2 years have not been established.

The chemical name of alpelisib is (2 S )- N 1 -[4-Methyl-5-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-pyridinyl]-2-thiazolyl]-1,2-pyrrolidinedicarboxamide. Alpelisib is a white to almost white powder. The molecular formula for alpelisib is C 19 H 22 F 3 N 5 O 2 S and the relative molecular mass is 441.47 g/mol. The pH of a 1.0% (m/V) solution of alpelisib in water/ethanol (50:50 V/V) is approximately 6.2. The chemical structure of alpelisib is shown below: VIJOICE film-coated tablets are supplied for oral administration with three strengths that contain 50 mg, 125 mg, and 200 mg of alpelisib. The tablets also contain hypromellose, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium starch glycolate. The film-coating contains hypromellose, iron oxide red (applicable only to 50 mg and 200 mg strengths), iron oxide yellow, macrogol/polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000, talc, and titanium dioxide.

The granules also contain hypromellose, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium starch glycolate. alpelisib structural formula" ], "clinical_pharmacology": [ "12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Alpelisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) with inhibitory activity predominantly against PI3Kα. Gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the catalytic α-subunit of PI3K (PIK3CA) lead to activation of PI3Kα and Akt-signaling, cellular transformation and the generation of tumors in in vitro and in vivo models. Activating mutations in PIK3CA have been found to induce a spectrum of overgrowths and malformations comprising a wide group of clinically recognizable disorders commonly known as PROS. In an inducible mouse model of Congenital Lipomatous Overgrowth, Vascular Malformations, Epidermal Nevi, Scoliosis/Skeletal and Spinal syndrome (CLOVES), a phenotype of PROS, alpelisib inhibition of the PI3K pathway resulted in the prevention or improvement of organ abnormalities associated with the disease, depending on when alpelisib treatment was started. These findings were reversed after withdrawal of alpelisib. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of VIJOICE have not been characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology At a dose of 300 mg, alpelisib does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent in the oncology setting. VIJOICE is not approved for use in the oncology setting. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of alpelisib has been studied in healthy subjects and adult patients with solid tumors and are presented as mean (% CV) under fed conditions unless otherwise specified. Alpelisib maximum plasma concentration (C max ) was 277 ng/mL (24%) and area under the curve (AUC) was 2,090 hr*ng/mL (24%) following administration of a single 50 mg dose of VIJOICE. Steady state alpelisib C max and AUC increased proportionally over the dose range of 30 mg (0.6 times the lowest approved recommended dosage) to 450 mg (1.8 times the highest approved recommended dosage) under fed conditions. The mean accumulation of alpelisib was 1.3 to 1.5 and steady state plasma concentrations were reached within 3 days following daily dosage. Absorption The median time to reach peak plasma concentration (T max ) ranged between 2.0 to 4.0 hours. Effect of Food A high-fat high-calorie (HFHC) meal (985 calories with 58.1 g of fat) increased alpelisib AUC by 73% and C max by 84%, and a low-fat low-calorie (LFLC) meal (334 calories with 8.7 g of fat) increased alpelisib AUC by 77% and C max by 145% following administration of a single 300 mg dose of alpelisib as tablets. No clinically relevant differences in alpelisib AUC were observed between LFLC and HFHC meals. No clinically relevant food effect on alpelisib pharmacokinetics was observed after a single 50 mg oral dose of VIJOICE as granules taken with a LFLC meal as compared to that taken under fasted conditions. No clinically relevant differences in alpelisib C max and AUC were observed following administration of a single 50 mg dose of VIJOICE as granules or tablets taken with a LFLC meal. Distribution The apparent volume of distribution of alpelisib at steady state is 114 L (46%). Protein binding of alpelisib is 89% and is independent of concentration. Elimination The half-life of alpelisib is predicted to be 8 to 9 hours. The clearance of alpelisib is 9.2 L/hr (21%) under fed conditions. Metabolism Alpelisib is primarily metabolized by chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis to form its metabolite BZG791 and followed by CYP3A4 mediated hydroxylation. Excretion Following a single oral dose of 400 mg (1.6 times the highest approved recommended dosage) radiolabeled alpelisib under fasted condition, 81% of the administered dose was recovered in feces (36% unchanged) and 14% (2% unchanged) in urine. CYP3A4-mediated metabolites (12%) and glucuronides amounted to approximately 15% of the dose. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of alpelisib were predicted based on age (21 to 87 years), sex, race/ethnicity (Japanese or Caucasian), body weight (37 to 181 kg), mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to < 90 mL/min based on the Cockcroft-Gault formula), or mild to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A, B, and C). The effect of severe renal impairment (CLcr < 30 mL/min) on the pharmacokinetics of alpelisib is unknown. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches Acid Reducing Agents: No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of alpelisib were observed when used concomitantly with ranitidine (H2 receptor antagonist) and administered with food as directed. Concomitant use of ranitidine decreased alpelisib AUC approximately 30% and C max by 51% with a single 300 mg oral dose (1.2 times the highest approved recommended dosage) of alpelisib under the fasted state. In the presence of a low-fat low-calorie meal, AUC was decreased by 21% and C max by 36% with ranitidine. CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2B6 Substrates : Coadministration of repeated doses of alpelisib 300 mg with a single-dose of sensitive substrates of CYP3A4 (midazolam), CYP2C8 (repaglinide), CYP2C9 (warfarin), CYP2C19 (omeprazole) and CYP2B6 (bupropion), administered as a cocktail did not show clinically significant pharmacokinetic interactions. No clinically significant differences in pharmacokinetics of everolimus (a substrate of CYP3A4 and P-gp) were observed when used concurrently with alpelisib. Effect of CYP3A4 Inducers on Alpelisib: Coadministration of repeat doses of rifampin (a strong CYP3A4 inducer) with a single 300 mg dose of alpelisib decreased alpelisib C max by 38% and AUC by 57%, respectively. Coadministration of rifampin with repeat doses of 300 mg alpelisib decreased alpelisib C max by 59% and AUC by 74%, respectively. Model-Informed Approaches Coadministration of repeat doses of ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) with a single 300 mg dose of alpelisib is expected to increase alpelisib AUC by 37% or less. Coadministration of repeat doses of efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A4 inducer) with a single 300 mg dose of alpelisib is expected to decrease alpelisib AUC by 30% or less. In Vitro Studies Effect of Transporter on Alpelisib: Alpelisib is a substrate of BCRP. Effect of Alpelisib on Transporters: Alpelisib is an inhibitor of P-gp. Alpelisib has a low potential to inhibit BCRP, MRP2, BSEP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1, OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2K at clinically relevant concentrations." ], "mechanism_of_action": [ "12.1 Mechanism of Action Alpelisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) with inhibitory activity predominantly against PI3Kα. Gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the catalytic α-subunit of PI3K (PIK3CA) lead to activation of PI3Kα and Akt-signaling, cellular transformation and the generation of tumors in in vitro and in vivo models. Activating mutations in PIK3CA have been found to induce a spectrum of overgrowths and malformations comprising a wide group of clinically recognizable disorders commonly known as PROS. In an inducible mouse model of Congenital Lipomatous Overgrowth, Vascular Malformations, Epidermal Nevi, Scoliosis/Skeletal and Spinal syndrome (CLOVES), a phenotype of PROS, alpelisib inhibition of the PI3K pathway resulted in the prevention or improvement of organ abnormalities associated with the disease, depending on when alpelisib treatment was started.

Eligible patients 2 years of age and older with PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS) who received VIJOICE had clinical manifestations of PROS that were assessed by the treating physician as severe or life-threatening and necessitating systemic treatment and had documented evidence of mutation in the PIK3CA gene. Patients received VIJOICE at dosages based on age ranging from 50 mg to 250 mg orally once daily. The efficacy of VIJOICE was evaluated in a total of 37 patients with at least one target lesion identified on imaging performed within 24 weeks prior to receipt of the first dose of VIJOICE. The median age of patients was 14 years (range: 2 to 38); 22% of patients were 2 to 5 years, 22% were 6 to 11 years, 27% were 12 to less than 18 years of age, and 30% were ≥ 18 years; 57% were female, 11% were White and race was not reported for 89%. Ninety-two percent of patients had congenital overgrowth and 8% had early childhood-onset. Patients had heterogeneous manifestations of PROS, including CLOVES (81%), Megalencephaly-Capillary Malformation Polymicrogyria (MCAP; 8%), Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS; 2.7%), Facial Infiltrating Lipomatosis (FIL; 8%), and Other (5%). Five percent (5%) of patients had concurrent manifestations of CLOVES and MCAP. The major efficacy outcome measure for the study was the proportion of patients with radiological response at Week 24 as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR), defined as a ≥ 20% reduction from baseline in the sum of measurable target lesion volume (1 to 3 lesions) confirmed by at least one subsequent imaging assessment, in the absence of a ≥ 20% increase from baseline in any target lesion, progression of non-target lesions, or appearance of a new lesion. An additional efficacy outcome measure was duration of response, defined as the time from the first documented response to the date of the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause.
