INDICATION
DOJOLVI is a medium-chain triglyceride indicated as a source of calories and fatty acids for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with molecularly confirmed long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Feeding Tube Dysfunction
- Feeding tube performance and functionality can degrade over time depending on usage and environmental conditions. In clinical trials, feeding tube dysfunction was reported in patients receiving triheptanoin. The contribution of DOJOLVI cannot be ruled out. Do not administer DOJOLVI in feeding tubes manufactured of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Regularly monitor the feeding tube to ensure proper functioning and integrity.
Intestinal Malabsorption in Patients with Pancreatic Insufficiency
- Pancreatic enzymes hydrolyze triheptanoin and release heptanoate as medium-chain fatty acids in the small intestine. Low or absent pancreatic enzymes may result in reduced absorption of heptanoate subsequently leading to insufficient supplementation of medium-chain fatty acids. Avoid administration of DOJOLVI in patients with pancreatic insufficiency.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Gastrointestinal (GI)
- The most common GI-related adverse reactions reported in the pooled safety population of Studies 1 and 2 were abdominal pain (abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, abdominal pain upper, GI pain) [60%], diarrhea [44%], vomiting [44%], and nausea [14%].
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Pancreatic Lipase Inhibitors
- Co-administration of triheptanoin with a pancreatic lipase inhibitor (e.g., orlistat) may reduce exposure to the triheptanoin metabolite, heptanoate, and reduce the clinical effect of triheptanoin. Avoid co-administration of DOJOLVI with pancreatic lipase inhibitors.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy and Lactation
- There are no available data on triheptanoin use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There is a pregnancy safety study for DOJOLVI. If a patient becomes pregnant while receiving DOJOLVI, healthcare providers should report DOJOLVI exposure by calling Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. at 1-888-756-8657.
- There are no data on the presence of triheptanoin or its metabolites in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the clinical need for DOJOLVI and any potential adverse effect on the breastfed infant from DOJOLVI or from the underlying maternal condition.
PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION
- Instruct the patient or caregiver to read the FDA-approved patient labeling, which includes information on the appropriate oral or feeding tube preparation, administration, and storage.
You may report side effects to Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. at 1-888-756-8657 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
