Mineralocorticoid excess: Closely monitor patients with cardiovascular disease. Control hypertension and correct hypokalemia before treatment. Monitor blood pressure, serum potassium and symptoms of fluid retention at least monthly. Adrenocortical insufficiency: Monitor for symptoms and signs of adrenocortical insufficiency. Increased dosage of corticosteroids may be indicated before, during and after stressful situations. Hepatotoxicity: Can be severe and fatal. Monitor liver function and modify, interrupt, or discontinue Abiraterone Acetate dosing as recommended. Increased fractures and mortality in combination with radium Ra 223 dichloride: Use of Abiraterone Acetate plus prednisone/prednisolone in combination with radium Ra 223 dichloride is not recommended. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Abiraterone Acetate can cause fetal harm. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception. Hypoglycemia: Severe hypoglycemia has been reported in patients with pre-existing diabetes who are taking medications containing thiazolidinediones (including pioglitazone) or repaglinide. Monitor blood glucose in patients with diabetes and assess if antidiabetic agent dose modifications are required. Hypokalemia, Fluid Retention, and Cardiovascular Adverse Reactions due to Mineralocorticoid Excess Abiraterone Acetate may cause hypertension, hypokalemia, and fluid retention as a consequence of increased mineralocorticoid levels resulting from CYP17 inhibition. Monitor patients for hypertension, hypokalemia, and fluid retention at least once a month. Control hypertension and correct hypokalemia before and during treatment with Abiraterone Acetate. In the combined data from 4 placebo-controlled trials using prednisone 5 mg twice daily in combination with 1,000 mg Abiraterone Acetate daily, grades 3 to 4 hypokalemia were detected in 4% of patients on the Abiraterone Acetate arm and 2% of patients on the placebo arm. Grades 3 to 4 hypertension were observed in 2% of patients each arm and grades 3 to 4 fluid retention in 1% of patients each arm. In LATITUDE (a randomized placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial), which used prednisone 5 mg daily in combination with 1,000 mg Abiraterone Acetate daily, grades 3 to 4 hypokalemia were detected in 10% of patients on the Abiraterone Acetate arm and 1% of patients on the placebo arm, grades 3 to 4 hypertension were observed in 20% of patients on the Abiraterone Acetate arm and 10% of patients on the placebo arm. Grades 3 to 4 fluid retention occurred in 1% of patients each arm. Abridged from the full prescribing information.

The following are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling: Hypokalemia, Fluid Retention, and Cardiovascular Adverse Reactions due to Mineralocorticoid Excess. Adrenocortical Insufficiency. Hepatotoxicity. Increased Fractures and Mortality in Combination with Radium Ra 223 Dichloride. The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) are fatigue, arthralgia, hypertension, nausea, edema, hypokalemia, hot flush, diarrhea, vomiting, upper respiratory infection, cough, and headache. The most common laboratory abnormalities (>20%) are anemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase, hypertriglyceridemia, lymphopenia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, and hypokalemia. Reddy’s Laboratories Inc. Clinical Trial 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. Two randomized placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trials (COU-AA-301 and COU-AA302) enrolled patients who had metastatic CRPC in which Abiraterone Acetate was administered orally at a dose of 1,000 mg daily in combination with prednisone 5 mg twice daily in the active treatment arms. Placebo plus prednisone 5 mg twice daily was given to patients on the control arm. Another randomized placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial (LATITUDE) enrolled patients who had metastatic high-risk CSPC in which Abiraterone Acetate was administered at a dose of 1,000 mg daily in combination with prednisone 5 mg once daily. Placebos were administered to patients in the control arm. Additionally, two other randomized, placebo-controlled trials were conducted in patients with metastatic CRPC. The safety data pooled from 2,230 patients in the 5 randomized controlled trials constitute the basis for the data presented in the Warnings and Precautions, Grade 1 to 4 adverse reactions, and Grade 1 to 4 laboratory abnormalities. In all trials, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog or prior orchiectomy was required in both arms. In the pooled data, median treatment duration was 11 months for Abiraterone Acetate-treated patients and 7.2 months for placebo-treated patients. The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) that occurred more commonly (>2%) in the Abiraterone Acetate arm were fatigue, arthralgia, hypertension, nausea, edema, hypokalemia, hot flush, diarrhea, vomiting, upper respiratory infection, cough, and headache.
