Exposure increased 1.7-fold in patients with ALT/AST/bilirubin >ULN as compared to patients with normal liver function tests.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
- Bone marrow suppression: Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurred in close to one-third of patients in clinical trials; thrombocytopenia and anemia (any grade) have also been reported. Monitor blood counts at least every 2 weeks for the first 6 months, and at least weekly in patients with neutropenia. May require treatment interruption and dosage reduction.
- Dermatologic toxicity: Severe and/or life-threatening cutaneous/mucocutaneous reactions (grade 3 or higher), including exfoliative dermatitis, rash (generalized, erythematous, macular-papular, pruritic, exfoliative), and skin disorder, have been observed. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) has been reported (when idelalisib was administered in combination with rituximab and bendamustine). Cases of Stevens Johnson syndrome (SJS) have been reported (some fatal) when idelalisib has been administered in combination with other medications associated with SJS. Monitor closely for dermatologic toxicity and discontinue for severe reactions.
- Gastrointestinal events: [US Boxed Warning]: Serious and/or fatal diarrhea and colitis have been reported. Monitor closely; may require treatment interruption, dosage reduction, and/or discontinuation. Grade 3 or higher diarrhea or colitis have been reported in clinical trials. Diarrhea may occur at any time during therapy and responds poorly to antidiarrheal (antimotility) medications. The median time to resolution of diarrhea was 1 week to 1 month (following therapy interruption); corticosteroids were used in some cases to manage toxicity. Avoid concomitant use with other promotility agents.
- Gastrointestinal perforation: [US Boxed Warning]: Serious and fatal intestinal perforation may occur; discontinue permanently if perforation develops. In some patients, perforation was preceded by moderate to severe diarrhea. Monitor closely for new or worsening abdominal pain, chills, fever, nausea, or vomiting.
- Hepatotoxicity: [US Boxed Warning]: Serious hepatotoxicity (some fatal) has been observed. Monitor hepatic function at baseline and during therapy. May require treatment interruption and/or dosage reduction. ALT/AST elevations >5 times ULN have occurred, and were generally observed during the first 12 weeks of therapy; transaminase elevations were reversible upon therapy interruption. Hepatotoxicity may recur upon rechallenge, even at a reduced dose; discontinue for recurrent hepatotoxicity. Avoid concomitant use with other hepatotoxic agents. Monitor ALT/AST at baseline and every 2 weeks for the first 3 months, every 4 weeks for the next 3 months, then every 1 to 3 months thereafter, or as clinically necessary. Increase monitoring to weekly if ALT or AST >3 times ULN until resolved. Interrupt therapy if ALT/AST >5 times ULN; monitor LFTs weekly until resolved.
- Hypersensitivity reactions: Serious allergic/hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported. Discontinue permanently for serious reactions and manage appropriately.
- Infections: Decreased overall survival and increased incidences of serious adverse events (usually infections) have been reported with idelalisib when used in combination with other medications used for the treatment of cancer. In March 2016, the manufacturer of idelalisib issued a Dear Healthcare Provider" letter with the following recommendations (McHutchinson 2016): Idelalisib should not be used as first-line treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients should be advised of the risk of serious and/or fatal infections. Prophylaxis for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) should be administered throughout idelalisib treatment (and after discontinuation if infection risk persists). Monitor for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and permanently discontinue idelalisib if evidence of CMV infection or viremia exists. Monitor blood counts at least every 2 weeks during the initial 6 months of idelalisib treatment; monitor weekly in patients with an ANC <1,000/mm 3.
- Pneumonitis: [US Boxed Warning]: Serious and fatal pneumonitis may occur. Monitor for pulmonary symptoms and bilateral interstitial infiltrates. May require therapy interruption or discontinuation. Symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, interstitial infiltrates, or an oxygen saturation decrease of more than 5% should be promptly evaluated. Interrupt therapy for suspected pneumonitis; if diagnosis is confirmed, discontinue idelalisib and administer corticosteroids as appropriate.
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 handling:
- Hazardous agent: Use appropriate precautions for handling and disposal (meets NIOSH 2014 criteria).

Adverse events were observed in animal reproduction studies. Women of reproductive potential should use effective contraception during therapy and for at least 1 month after treatment discontinuation.
Potent small molecule inhibitor of the delta isoform of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K Ž ´), which is highly expressed in malignant lymphoid B-cells. PI3K Ž ´ inhibition results in apoptosis of malignant tumor cells. In addition, idelalisib inhibits several signaling pathways, including B-cell receptor, CXCR4 and CXCR5 signaling which may play important roles in CLL pathophysiology (Furman, 2014).
