Brand Information

TRYNGOLZA (olezarsen sodium)
1INDICATIONS AND USAGE
TRYNGOLZA
  • To reduce triglycerides (TG) in adults with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS).
  • To reduce TG and the risk of acute pancreatitis in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG: TG greater than or equal to 500 mg/dL).
2DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
Injection:
  • 50 mg/0.8 mL of olezarsen as a clear, colorless to yellow solution in a single-dose autoinjector
  • 80 mg/0.8 mL of olezarsen as a clear, colorless to yellow solution in a single-dose autoinjector
3CONTRAINDICATIONS
TRYNGOLZA is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity to olezarsen or any of the excipients in TRYNGOLZA. Hypersensitivity reactions, including symptoms of bronchospasm, diffuse erythema, facial swelling, urticaria, chills, and myalgias, requiring medical treatment have occurred
4ADVERSE REACTIONS
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling:
  • Hypersensitivity Reactions
  • Liver Enzyme Abnormalities
4.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of TRYNGOLZA cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Clinical Trial in Patients with FCS
The safety of TRYNGOLZA was evaluated in 66 patients with FCS enrolled in Trial 1 (NCT #04568434)
Adverse reactions led to discontinuation of treatment in 7% of TRYNGOLZA-treated patients and 0% of placebo-treated patients. The most common reason for TRYNGOLZA treatment discontinuation was hypersensitivity reactions. Adverse reactions (>5% of patients treated with TRYNGOLZA and at >3% higher frequency than placebo) are presented in Table 1.
Table 1. Adverse Reactions That Occurred in >5% of Patients with FCS Treated with TRYNGOLZA and at >3% Higher Frequency than with Placebo (Trial 1)
Clinical Trials in Patients with sHTG
The safety of TRYNGOLZA was evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials [Trial 2 (NCT #05079919) and Trial 3 (NCT #05552326)] that included a total of 1,061 adult patients with sHTG  [see . In these trials, 705 patients received at least one dose of TRYNGOLZA, 50 mg (N=354) or 80 mg (N=351), and 356 patients received placebo. Across treatment groups, the mean age was 54 years and 76% of patients were male. Eighty-eight percent (88%) of patients were White, 5% Asian, 2% Black or African American, 2% American Indian or Alaskan Native, less than 1% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and 2% other or multiple races; 12% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. The median exposure to TRYNGOLZA was 364 days (N=705).
Adverse reactions led to discontinuation of treatment in 5% of TRYNGOLZA-treated patients and 2% of placebo-treated patients. The most common adverse reaction for TRYNGOLZA treatment discontinuation was injection site reactions.
Adverse reactions (in patients treated with TRYNGOLZA at ≥2% higher frequency than placebo) are presented in Table 2.

5DESCRIPTION
Olezarsen is an ASO directed inhibitor of apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) mRNA, conjugated to a ligand containing three GalNAc residues to enable delivery of the ASO to hepatocytes.
TRYNGOLZA contains olezarsen sodium as the active ingredient. Olezarsen sodium is a white to yellow solid and it is freely soluble in water and in phosphate buffer. The molecular formula of olezarsen sodium is C
The structure of olezarsen sodium is presented below:
Chemical Structure
TRYNGOLZA is a sterile, preservative-free solution for subcutaneous injection. Each single-dose autoinjector contains 50 mg olezarsen (equivalent to 53 mg of olezarsen sodium) in 0.8 mL of solution or 80 mg olezarsen (equivalent to 84 mg of olezarsen sodium) in 0.8 mL of solution. The solution also contains the following inactive ingredients: disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate to maintain pH and provide tonicity, and water for injection. The solution may include hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment between 6.9 to 7.9. Each 50 mg dose of TRYNGOLZA injection contains 4 mg of phosphorous and 4 mg of sodium. Each 80 mg dose of TRYNGOLZA injection contains 6 mg of phosphorous and 5 mg of sodium.
