Hepatic impairment: Nintedanib is not recommended for use in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. In patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child Pugh A), the recommended dosage is 100 mg twice daily approximately 12 hours apart taken with food. Consider treatment interruption, or discontinuation for management of adverse reactions in these patients. Elevated liver enzymes and drug-induced liver injury: ALT, AST, and bilirubin elevations have occurred with Nintedanib, including cases of drug- induced liver injury. In the postmarketing period, non-serious and serious cases of drug-induced liver injury, including severe liver injury with fatal outcome, have been reported. The majority of hepatic events occur within the first three months of treatment. Liver enzyme and bilirubin increases were reversible with dose modification or interruption in the majority of cases. Monitor ALT, AST, and bilirubin prior to initiation of treatment, at regular intervals during the first three months of treatment, and periodically thereafter or as clinically indicated. Temporary dosage reductions or discontinuations may be required. Gastrointestinal disorders: Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting have occurred with Nintedanib. Treat patients at first signs with adequate hydration and antidiarrheal medicine (e.g., loperamide) or anti-emetics. Discontinue Nintedanib if severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting persists despite symptomatic treatment. Embryo-Fetal toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use highly effective contraception. Advise women taking oral hormonal contraceptives experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, or other conditions where the drug absorption may be reduced to use alternative highly effective contraception. Arterial thromboembolic events have been reported. Use caution when treating patients at higher cardiovascular risk including known coronary artery disease. Bleeding events have been reported. Use Nintedanib in patients with known bleeding risk only if anticipated benefit outweighs the potential risk. Gastrointestinal perforation has been reported. Use Nintedanib with caution when treating patients with recent abdominal surgery, previous history of diverticular disease or receiving concomitant corticosteroids or NSAIDs. Discontinue Nintedanib in patients who develop gastrointestinal perforation. Only use Nintedanib in patients with known risk of gastrointestinal perforation if the anticipated benefit outweighs the potential risk. Nephrotic range proteinuria has been reported. Consider treatment interruption in patients who develop new or worsening proteinuria. Abridged from the full prescribing information.

Most common adverse reactions (≥5%) are: diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, liver enzyme elevation, decreased appetite, headache, weight decreased, and hypertension. The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Elevated Liver Enzymes and Drug-Induced Liver Injury Gastrointestinal Disorders Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Arterial Thromboembolic Events Risk of Bleeding Gastrointestinal Perforation Nephrotic Range Proteinuria Clinical 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 Nintedanib was evaluated in over 1000 IPF patients, and 332 patients with chronic fibrosing ILDs with a progressive phenotype. Over 200 IPF patients were exposed to Nintedanib for more than 2 years in clinical trials. Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Nintedanib was studied in three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 52-week trials. In the phase 2 (Study 1) and phase 3 (Study 2 and Study 3) trials, 723 patients with IPF received Nintedanib 150 mg twice daily and 508 patients received placebo. The median duration of exposure was 10 months for patients treated with Nintedanib and 11 months for patients treated with placebo. Subjects ranged in age from 42 to 89 years (median age of 67 years). Most patients were male (79%) and Caucasian (60%). The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in patients treated with Nintedanib, more than placebo, were bronchitis (1.2% vs. 0.8%) and myocardial infarction (1.5% vs. 0.4%). The most common adverse events leading to death in patients treated with Nintedanib, more than placebo, were pneumonia (0.7% vs. 0.6%), lung neoplasm malignant (0.3% vs. 0%), and myocardial infarction (0.3% vs. 0.2%). In the predefined category of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including MI, fatal events were reported in 0.6% of Nintedanib- treated patients and 1.8% of placebo-treated patients. Adverse reactions leading to permanent dose reductions were reported in 16% of Nintedanib-treated patients and 1% of placebo-treated patients. The most frequent adverse reaction that led to permanent dose reduction in the patients treated with Nintedanib was diarrhea (11%). Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were reported in 21% of Nintedanib-treated patients and 15% of placebo-treated patients. Abridged from the full prescribing information.
