Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 65597-407-20 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 65597-0407-20. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

Label name TURALIO 125 MG CAPSULE Ingredient Pexidartinib Hydrochloride
📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Pexidartinib is used to treat a certain type of tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCT; tumors in or around a joint that can cause pain, swelling, and reduce movement). Pexidartinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that may help the tumor to shrink.

🧪 Inactive Ingredients / Excipients

Inactive ingredients, also called excipients, are components of the drug product other than the active ingredient. They may include fillers, dyes, coatings, preservatives, flavors, or other formulation ingredients.

💡 Tap an ingredient (hover on desktop) to see what it is and why it’s used.

  • UNII 2S7830E561
    Crospovidone is a synthetic polymer derived from povidone. It acts as a disintegrant, helping the tablet or capsule break apart quickly in the stomach so the active ingredient can be absorbed.
  • UNII H3R47K3TBD
    FD&C Blue No. 1 is a synthetic blue dye approved for use in foods and medicines. It serves as a colorant to give the medication its distinctive appearance and help with product identification.
  • UNII 3NXW29V3WO
    Hypromellose is a plant-based thickener made from cellulose. It's used in medicines as a binder to hold ingredients together, a coating for tablets, and a thickener for liquids.
  • UNII 70097M6I30
    Magnesium stearate is a salt made from magnesium and stearic acid, a fatty substance. It's used in tablets and capsules as a lubricant and glidant to help ingredients flow smoothly during manufacturing and prevent sticking.
  • UNII 3OWL53L36A
    A natural sugar alcohol derived from seaweed or synthesized in the lab. It's used as a filler to add bulk, a sweetener in sugar-free formulas, and a disintegrant to help tablets break apart in the stomach.
  • UNII TUF2IVW3M2

Where does this data come from?
Data sourced from official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMedingredient classCode="IACT" elements from the exact product block matched by this NDC. Label-section narrative from DailyMed / the openFDA label index is shown separately when available.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer eachPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo $199.20 $23,903.81 / 120 capsules
Medicare drug plans payPart D · Q2 2026 $219.44 $26,332.67 / 120 capsules
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Jul 2038. This may affect when a full generic version becomes widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

🏛️FDA exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.
🧪Product / substance patents
Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.
🎯Method-of-use patents
Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
Patent
Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent
Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent
Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent
A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label
A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV
A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS
Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating
FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity)
The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions
Is there a generic version of TURALIO 125 MG CAPSULE?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for TURALIO 125 MG CAPSULE. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Jul 2038 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date.
The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?
FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.
Why do different websites show different generic release dates?
Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).
What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?
It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.
Can a generic come out after the listed dates?
Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.
What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?
Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.
Why are there multiple patent dates?
One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.
Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

🗺️ Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for 65597-0407-20, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.
📅 Q1 2025 – Q4 2025 · 4 quarters of data
ⓘ The newest quarter is usually incomplete when first published; states restate recent quarters in later CMS releases, so the latest figures typically revise upward. State coverage-policy changes can also shift quarter-to-quarter totals.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 65597-407-20, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 65597-0407-20, written without dashes as 65597040720. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.
What do the three segments of this NDC mean?
In 65597-0407-20, the first segment (65597) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Daiichi Sankyo Inc.; the middle segment (0407) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (20) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Daiichi Sankyo Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Does this product come in other package sizes?
Yes — the FDA directory lists 1 other package presentation of this same product, including 28 capsules (65597-0407-28). Each has its own NDC and its own page — see the package list near the top of this page.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Daiichi Sankyo Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective non-hormonal method of contraception. ( 5.3 , 7.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Potential Risks Associated with a High-Fat Meal : May increase incidence and severity of adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity.

Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat). ( 2.1 , 5.4 )

5.1Hepatotoxicity TURALIO can cause serious and potentially fatal liver injury and is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Hepatotoxicity, including liver failure and life-threatening vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS), ductopenia, and symptomatic cholestasis (including severe pruritus) can occur in patients treated with TURALIO and can occur despite monitoring and prompt drug cessation. The mechanism of cholestatic hepatotoxicity is unknown and its occurrence cannot be predicted.

It is unknown whether liver injury can also occur in the absence of increased transaminases. Of the first 609 patients who received TURALIO under the REMS program, 32 (5.3%) developed a liver injury event of concern (LIEC), defined as any serious liver-related outcome or any liver abnormality that triggers drug discontinuation per the US Prescribing Information [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. These 32 patients developed liver toxicity within 71 days of the first dose of TURALIO; ten required hospitalization, and two developed VBDS.

Sixteen of the 32 patients had not fully recovered at the time of the analysis, including 6 patients followed for at least 6 months after discontinuation. Among 768 patients who received TURALIO in clinical trials, there were two irreversible cases of cholestatic liver injury. One patient with advanced cancer and ongoing liver toxicity died and one patient with a confirmed case of VBDS required a liver transplant.

In ENLIVEN, 3 of 61 (5%) patients who received TURALIO developed signs of serious liver injury, defined as ALT or AST ≥3 × ULN with total bilirubin ≥2 × ULN. In these patients, peak ALT ranged from 6 to 9 × ULN, peak total bilirubin ranged from 2.5 to 15 × ULN, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was ≥2 × ULN. ALT, AST, and total bilirubin improved to <2 × ULN in these three patients 1 to 7 months after discontinuing TURALIO.

Avoid TURALIO in patients with pre-existing increased serum transaminases; total bilirubin or direct bilirubin (>ULN); or active liver or biliary tract disease, including increased ALP. Monitor liver tests, including AST, ALT, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALP, and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) prior to initiation of TURALIO, weekly for the first 8 weeks, every 2 weeks for the next month and every 3 months thereafter. Withhold and dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TURALIO based on the severity of the hepatotoxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .

Refer patients to a hepatologist if liver tests do not return to normal. Rechallenge with a reduced dose of TURALIO may result in a recurrence of increased serum transaminases, bilirubin, ALP., or other signs of liver injury. Monitor liver tests weekly for the first month after rechallenge.

5.2TURALIO REMS Program TURALIO is only available through a restricted program under a REMS, because of the risk of hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Notable requirements of the TURALIO REMS Program include the following: Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training. Patients must complete and sign an enrollment form for inclusion in a patient registry.

Pharmacies must be certified with the program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive TURALIO. Further information is available at www.TURALIOREMS.com or 1-833-887-2546.

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 practice. The safety of TURALIO 250 mg orally twice daily administered with a low-fat meal has been established based on adequate and well-controlled studies of TURALIO 400 mg orally twice daily administered on an empty stomach and additional pharmacokinetic data that indicate there is no clinically significant difference in the relative exposure between the two dosages [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

The safety of TURALIO was evaluated in ENLIVEN [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . ENLIVEN excluded patients with ALT, AST, or total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN; and known active or chronic infection with hepatitis B or C virus, or human immunodeficiency virus. Patients received TURALIO without food at a dose of 400 mg in the morning and 600 mg in the evening orally for 2 weeks followed by 400 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity .

Seventy-nine percent of patients received TURALIO for 6 months or longer and 66% for greater than one year. The median age of TURALIO-treated patients was 44 years (range: 22-75), 57% were females, and 85% were White. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 13% of patients who received TURALIO.

Most frequent (occurring in >1 patient) serious adverse reactions included abnormal liver tests (3.3%) and hepatotoxicity (3.3%). Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 13% of patients who received TURALIO. Most frequent adverse reactions (occurring in >1 patient) requiring permanent discontinuation included increased ALT (4.9%), increased AST (4.9%) and hepatotoxicity (3.3%).

Dose reductions or interruptions occurred in 38% of patients who received TURALIO. Most frequent adverse reactions (occurring in >1 patient) requiring a dosage reduction or interruption were increased ALT (13%), increased AST (13%), nausea (8%), increased ALP (7%), vomiting (4.9%), increased bilirubin (3.3%), increased GGT (3.3%), dizziness (3.3%), and abdominal pain (3.3%). The most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, in patients who received TURALIO were: increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), increased AST, hair color changes, fatigue, increased ALT, decreased neutrophils, increased cholesterol, increased ALP, decreased lymphocytes, eye edema, decreased hemoglobin, rash, dysgeusia, and decreased phosphate.

Tables 4, 5, and 6 summarize the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities in ENLIVEN during the randomized phase (Week 25).

7.1Use with Hepatotoxic Products TURALIO can cause hepatotoxicity. In patients with increased serum transaminases, total bilirubin, or direct bilirubin (>ULN) or active liver or biliary tract disease, avoid coadministration of TURALIO with other products known to cause hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .

7.2Effect of Other Drugs or Food on TURALIO Table 7: Effect of Other Drugs or Food on TURALIO Moderate or Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Clinical Impact Concomitant use of a moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitor may increase pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of TURALIO. Management Reduce TURALIO dosage if concomitant use of moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors, including grapefruit or grapefruit juice, cannot be avoided [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ].

Strong CYP3A Inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use of a strong CYP3A inducer decreases pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may decrease the efficacy of TURALIO. Management Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers, including St John's wort. UGT Inhibitors Clinical Impact Concomitant use of a UGT inhibitor increases pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of TURALIO.

Management Reduce TURALIO dosage if concomitant use of UGT inhibitors cannot be avoided [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. Acid-Reducing Agents Clinical Impact Concomitant use of a PPI decreases pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may decrease the efficacy of TURALIO. Management Avoid concomitant use of PPIs with TURALIO.

As an alternative to PPIs, use locally-acting antacids or H 2 -receptor antagonists [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . High-Fat Meal Clinical Impact Taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal increased pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the incidence and severity of TURALIO adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.4) ]. Management Take TURALIO with a low-fat meal (approximately 11 to 14 grams of total fat) .

Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat) [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] .

7.3Effect of TURALIO on Other Drugs Table 8: Effect of TURALIO on Other Drugs CYP3A Substrates Clinical Impact TURALIO is a moderate CYP3A inducer. Concomitant use of TURALIO decreases the concentration of CYP3A substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of these substrates . Management Avoid coadministration of TURALIO with hormonal contraceptives [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) , Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ].

Avoid concomitant use of TURALIO with other CYP3A substrates, where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious therapeutic failures. If concomitant use is unavoidable, increase the CYP3A substrate dosage in accordance with approved product labeling.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) Renal Impairment : Reduce the dosage for patients with mild to severe renal impairment. ( 2.5 , 8.6 ) Hepatic Impairment : Reduce the dosage for patients with moderate hepatic impairment. ( 2.6 , 8.7 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] , TURALIO may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The available human data do not establish the presence or absence of major birth defects or miscarriage related to the use of TURALIO. Oral administration of pexidartinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations, post-implantation loss, and abortion at maternal exposures that were approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose (see Data ) .

Advise pregnant women 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 Embryo-fetal development studies investigating the administration of pexidartinib during the period of organogenesis were conducted in rats and rabbits.

In rats, pexidartinib resulted in increased post-implantation loss and fetal malformations including localized fetal edema, absence of kidney and ureter, abnormalities of the reproductive tract, and developmental variations including misshapen kidney, decreased skeletal ossification and higher mean litter proportions of slightly or moderately malaligned sternebrae at doses of 40 mg/kg (approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose). In rabbits, administration of pexidartinib resulted in increased post-implantation loss, abortion, and fetal malformations including absence of kidney or ureter, rudimentary, misshapen or malpositioned kidney, rib abnormalities, and skeletal variations of accessory skull bones at doses of 60 mg/kg (approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose).

8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of pexidartinib or its metabolites in either human or animal milk or its effects on a breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with TURALIO and for at least 1 week after the final dose.

8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential TURALIO may 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 the initiation of TURALIO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 month after the final dose.

Counsel patients to use non-hormonal method(s) of contraception, since TURALIO can render hormonal contraceptives ineffective [see Drug Interactions (7.3) , Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Males Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 week after the final dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Infertility Based on findings from animal studies, TURALIO may impair both male and female fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ].

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of TURALIO in pediatric patients have not been established.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Pexidartinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), KIT proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT), and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) harboring an internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation. Overexpression of the CSF1R ligand promotes cell proliferation and accumulation in the synovium. In vitro, pexidartinib inhibited proliferation of cell lines dependent on CSF1R and ligand-induced autophosphorylation of CSF1R.

Pexidartinib also inhibited the proliferation of a CSF1R dependent cell line in vivo.

12.2Pharmacodynamics Exposure-Response Relationships There is an exposure response relationship between pexidartinib steady state exposure and serum transaminase levels (ALT and AST) with a higher risk of increased serum transaminases at higher exposure. Additionally, increased transaminases occurred more frequently with higher pexidartinib doses between 200 to 1200 mg per day administered on an empty stomach (0.25 to 1.5 times the exposure from the recommended dose). Cardiac Electrophysiology At two times the mean maximum exposure of the recommended dosage, TURALIO does not prolong the QTc interval to any clinically relevant extent.

12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of TURALIO was evaluated following single doses in healthy subjects and following multiple doses in patients as summarized in Table 9. Table 9: TURALIO Exposure and Pharmacokinetic Parameters General Information Steady state exposure [Mean (SD)] Pexidartinib 400 mg twice daily on an empty stomach (similar exposure to that of the recommended dosage) C max 8625 (2746) ng/mL AUC 0-12h 77465 (24975) ng∙h/mL Dose proportionality Pexidartinib exposure (C max and AUC 0-INF ) increased linearly over the single oral dose range of 200 to 2400 mg administered on an empty stomach (0.5 to 6 times the exposure from the recommended dose).

Time to steady state Estimated based on half life Approximately 7 days Accumulation ratio (AUC) [Median]

3.6Absorption T max [Median] 2.5 hours Effect of food TURALIO 400 mg with a high-fat meal The high-fat meal comprised 800 to 1000 calories with approximately 50% from fat (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat). Compared to an empty stomach: Increased pexidartinib C max and AUC 0-INF by 100% Delayed T max by 2.5 hours TURALIO 400 mg with a low-fat meal The low-fat meal comprised approximately 400 calories with 25% from fat (approximately 11 to 14 grams of total fat). Compared to an empty stomach: Increased pexidartinib C max by 56% and AUC 0-INF by 59% Delayed T max by 1.5 hours Predicted relative AUC 0-24h of TURALIO 250 mg with a low-fat meal to that of TURALIO 400 mg on an empty stomach No clinically significant difference Distribution In vitro plasma protein binding Greater than 99% Human serum albumin: 99.9% α-1 acid glycoprotein: 89.9% Apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) [Mean (CV%)] After a single oral dose of pexidartinib 187 L (27%) Elimination Apparent clearance [Mean (CV%)]

Patients with Renal Impairment Mild (CLcr 60 to 89 mL/min), moderate (CLcr 30 to 59 mL/min) and severe (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min) renal impairment increased pexidartinib exposure (AUC) by approximately 30%, relative to that in patients with normal renal f…

🧬 Mechanism of Action 81 words

12.1Mechanism of Action Pexidartinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), KIT proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT), and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) harboring an internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation. Overexpression of the CSF1R ligand promotes cell proliferation and accumulation in the synovium. In vitro, pexidartinib inhibited proliferation of cell lines dependent on CSF1R and ligand-induced autophosphorylation of CSF1R.

Pexidartinib also inhibited the proliferation of a CSF1R dependent cell line in vivo.
