6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The safety of ZENBEXUS in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj and dexamethasone was evaluated in EXCALIBER-RRMM, a two-stage, phase 3, randomized, multicenter open-label study in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) after 1 or 2 prior lines of therapy [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
Patients were randomized to receive ZENBEXUS (at 1 of 3 dose levels) in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj and dexamethasone or daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj, bortezomib and dexamethasone (DVd) in stage 1, and ZENBEXUS 1 mg in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj and dexamethasone (IberDd) or DVd in stage 2. The MRD Primary Analysis Group included the first 420 patients randomized to ZENBEXUS 1 mg in combination with Dd (N=207) or DVd (N=213) in stage 1 and stage 2. Safety was assessed in patients in the MRD Primary Analysis Group who received at least one dose of the study drug (IberDd: N=204; DVd: N=204).
Among patients who received ZENBEXUS, 86% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 73% were exposed for greater than one year. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 58.3% of patients who received ZENBEXUS. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients included pneumonia (26%), upper respiratory tract infection (6.4%), second primary malignancy (5.9%), neutropenia (4.9%), febrile neutropenia (3.9%), COVID-19 (4.4%), and sepsis (2.9%).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 10 patients (4.9%) who received ZENBEXUS. Sepsis (1.5%) was the only fatal drug reaction that occurred in more than 1 patient. The following fatal adverse reactions occurred in one patient each: listeria encephalitis, influenza, lung adenocarcinoma, cardiac arrest, large intestine perforation, metabolic acidosis, and respiratory failure.
Permanent discontinuation of ZENBEXUS due to an adverse reaction occurred in 7.8% of patients. The most frequent adverse reaction which resulted in permanent ZENBEXUS discontinuation was neutropenia (1%). Dosage interruption of ZENBEXUS due to an adverse reaction occurred in 84% of patients.
Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >10% of patients included neutropenia, upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia and COVID-19. Dosage reductions of ZENBEXUS due to an adverse reaction occurred in 29% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in >2% of patients included neutropenia, fatigue, pneumonia, and sensory neuropathy.
The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, pneumonia, diarrhea, motor dysfunction, rash, sleep disorder, hypogammaglobulinemia, COVID-19, and constipation. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory…
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use with ZENBEXUS or, if concomitant use is unavoidable, reduce dose. (2.3 , 7.1) • Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers: Avoid concomitant use with ZENBEXUS. (7.1)
7.1Effects of Other Drugs on ZENBEXUS Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors with ZENBEXUS. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, reduce ZENBEXUS dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Iberdomide is primarily metabolized by CYP3A.
Concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors increases iberdomide exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers with ZENBEXUS. Iberdomide is primarily metabolized by CYP3A.
Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases iberdomide exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may decrease efficacy.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2) • Renal impairment: Reduce dose in patients with eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 not on dialysis. (2.5)
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors outcomes in patients exposed to ZENBEXUS during pregnancy. Report any suspected fetal exposure to ZENBEXUS to the FDA via the MedWatch program at 1-800-FDA-1088 and to the REMS Call Center at 1-888-423-5436. Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] and findings from animal studies, ZENBEXUS can cause birth defects or embryo-fetal death in humans when administered to a pregnant female and is contraindicated during pregnancy [see Boxed Warning , Contraindications (4) , and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
ZENBEXUS has a shared mechanism of action with thalidomide. Thalidomide is a human teratogen, inducing a high frequency of severe and life-threatening birth defects such as amelia (absence of limbs), phocomelia (short limbs), hypoplasticity of the bones, absence of bones, external ear abnormalities (including anotia, micropinna, small or absent external auditory canals), facial palsy, eye abnormalities (anophthalmos, microphthalmos), and congenital heart defects. Alimentary tract, urinary tract, and genital malformations have also been documented, and mortality at or shortly after birth has been reported in about 40% of infants.
There are no available data on the use of ZENBEXUS in pregnant women to evaluate for drug associated risk. Oral administration of iberdomide in pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes including embryo-fetal mortality, alterations to growth, and structural abnormalities. Iberdomide crossed the placenta after administration to pregnant rats and rabbits (see Data) .
Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus. If pregnancy does occur during treatment, immediately discontinue the drug. Under these conditions, refer patient to an obstetrician/gynecologist experienced in reproductive toxicity for further evaluation and counseling.
Report any suspected fetal exposure to ZENBEXUS to the REMS Call Center at 1-888-423-5436. 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 Iberdomide caused adverse developmental outcomes in both rats and rabbits in the embryo-fetal developmental studies when administered during the period of organogenesis.
Pregnant rats were administered oral doses of 0.6, 50, or 300 mg/kg/day. At 300 mg/kg/day, adverse effects included increased post-implantation loss, fetal resorptions, reduced numbers of viable fetuses, lower fetal body weights, and the occurrence of external and skeletal malformations in the head (acephaly, dome shaped, meningoencephalocele), eyes (malpositioned, microphthalmia), mouth (cleft lip, small tongue, misshapen palate), ear(s) (misshapen or small), cervical vertebrae (fused or misshapen neural arches), pectoral girdle (bent scapula), skull (fused or misshapen bones), and sternum (sternoschisis).
Pregnant rabbits were administered oral doses of 0.3, 50 or 300 mg/kg/day. At doses of 300 mg/kg/day, increased abortions were observed. At doses of ≥50 mg/kg/day developmental effects included increased post-implantation loss, fetal resorptions, reduced numbers of viable fetuses, decreased fetal body weights, and external, skeletal, and visceral malformations in the entire body and hindlimbs (edema), tail (short), gallbladder and thyroid (absent), aortic arch (small), interventricular septum (discontinuous), cervical vertebrae (fused, misshapen neural arches), skull (fused or misshapen bones), and sternum (fused).
In rats, fetal plasma concentration levels on gestation day (GD) 17 were 17 to 22% of the maternal concentration at 2 hours post-dosing,…

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Iberdomide is a cereblon-modulating protein degrader that binds to cereblon, a substrate recognition component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Iberdomide engages cereblon and facilitates recruitment, ubiquitination, and proteasomal degradation of the transcription factors, Aiolos and Ikaros, resulting in anti‑tumor and immunomodulatory activity. In vitro and in vivo, iberdomide treatment showed anti-tumor activity in multiple myeloma (MM) cells and xenografts including in lenalidomide- and pomalidomide-resistant MM cell lines.
Immunomodulatory properties of iberdomide include increased secretion of the immune stimulatory cytokines (interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma), inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine release (interleukin-6), enhanced immune mediated killing of MM cells, and prevention of T-cell exhaustion. In vitro, the combination of iberdomide and daratumumab produced an increase in complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity of daratumumab against multiple myeloma cells. In vivo, iberdomide showed increased anti-tumor activity in combination with dexamethasone or daratumumab compared to iberdomide, dexamethasone or daratumumab alone.
12.2Pharmacodynamics In patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, at a dose of 1 mg, iberdomide in combination with daratumumab and dexamethasone decreases B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and naïve CD8⁺ T cells, and increases effector memory CD8⁺ T cells, HLA-DR expression on CD8⁺ T cells, and Ki-67–positive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and NK cells. Iberdomide exposure-response analyses demonstrated no clinically relevant relationship between systemic iberdomide exposure level and efficacy following iberdomide dose of 1 to 1.6 mg (1 to 1.6 times the recommended dosage).
Increasing iberdomide exposure was associated with higher risk of Grade 3+ neutropenia and at least 1 dose modification due to treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE). Cardiac Electrophysiology At 2.6-times the mean maximum concentration produced by the recommended ZENBEXUS dosage, a clinically relevant QT interval prolongation was not observed.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Iberdomide pharmacokinetic parameters for patients with multiple myeloma receiving the recommended approved dosage at steady state are presented as mean (% CV), unless otherwise specified. Iberdomide maximum plasma concentration (C max ) is 6.35 ng/mL (30%) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) is 82.6 ng*h/mL (32%). Drug accumulation is approximately two-fold.
Iberdomide C max and AUC are approximately dose-proportional over the dose range of 0.1 mg to 6 mg (0.1 to 6 times the recommended dosage) following a single oral dose in healthy subjects. Absorption Iberdomide median (min, max) time to C max (T max ) at steady state is 2 (2, 10) hours. Effect of Food No clinically significant difference in iberdomide PK is expected following administration of ZENBEXUS with food.
Distribution Iberdomide volume of distribution (V ss /F) is 415 L (40%). In vitro plasma protein binding is 75% and is not concentration-dependent. In vitro blood-to-plasma ratio is 0.78.
Elimination Iberdomide terminal elimination half-life (t 1/2 ) is 37 hours (51%) and apparent oral clearance (CL/F) is
12.3L/h (38%). Metabolism Iberdomide is metabolized primarily by CYP3A. Excretion Following a single oral administration of [ 14 C] iberdomide to healthy subjects, approximately 46% of the dose was eliminated in urine (16% as unchanged drug) and 43% of the dose was eliminated in feces (11% as unchanged drug).
Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of iberdomide were observed based on age (36 to 90 years), sex (45% female), race (65% White, 27% Asian, and 4% African American), body weight (37.6 kg to 137 kg), body mass index (16.7 to 49.7 kg/m 2 ), body surface area (1.27 to 2.60 m 2 ), or hepatic impairment (Child-Pu…
🧬 Mechanism of Action ▾
12.1Mechanism of Action Iberdomide is a cereblon-modulating protein degrader that binds to cereblon, a substrate recognition component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Iberdomide engages cereblon and facilitates recruitment, ubiquitination, and proteasomal degradation of the transcription factors, Aiolos and Ikaros, resulting in anti‑tumor and immunomodulatory activity. In vitro and in vivo, iberdomide treatment showed anti-tumor activity in multiple myeloma (MM) cells and xenografts including in lenalidomide- and pomalidomide-resistant MM cell lines.
Immunomodulatory properties of iberdomide include increased secretion of the immune stimulatory cytokines (interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma), inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine release (interleukin-6), enhanced immune mediated killing of MM cells, and prevention of T-cell exhaustion.
