5. Warnings and Precautions
5.1 Infections
Fatal and serious infections (including bacterial, viral, or fungal infections) and opportunistic infections have occurred in patients treated with JAYPIRCA. In the clinical trial, Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 17% of 583 patients, most commonly pneumonia (9%), with fatal infections occurring in 4.1% of patients. Sepsis occurred in 4.5% of patients and febrile neutropenia in 2.9%. Opportunistic infections after treatment with JAYPIRCA have included, but are not limited to, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and fungal infection.
Consider prophylaxis, including vaccinations and antimicrobial prophylaxis, in patients who are at increased risk for infections, including opportunistic infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection, evaluate promptly, and treat appropriately. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue JAYPIRCA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
5.2 Hemorrhage
Fatal and serious hemorrhage has occurred with JAYPIRCA. Major hemorrhage (defined as Grade 3 or higher bleeding or any central nervous system bleeding) occurred in 2.4% of 583 patients treated with JAYPIRCA, including gastrointestinal hemorrhage; fatal hemorrhage occurred in 0.2% of patients. Bleeding of any grade, excluding bruising and petechiae, occurred in 14% of patients.
Major hemorrhage occurred in 1.7% of patients taking JAYPIRCA without antithrombotic agents and 0.7% of patients taking JAYPIRCA with antithrombotic agents. Consider the risks and benefits of antithrombotic agents when co-administered with JAYPIRCA. Monitor patients for signs of bleeding. Based on severity of bleeding, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue JAYPIRCA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
Consider the benefit-risk of withholding JAYPIRCA for 3 to 7 days pre- and post-surgery depending upon the type of surgery and risk of bleeding.
5.3 Cytopenias
Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias, including neutropenia (24%), anemia (11%), and thrombocytopenia (11%) have developed in patients treated with JAYPIRCA. In the clinical trial, Grade 4 neutropenia developed in 13% of patients and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia developed in 5% of patients.
Monitor complete blood counts regularly during treatment. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue JAYPIRCA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
5.4 Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter
Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were reported in recipients of JAYPIRCA. Atrial fibrillation or flutter were reported in 2.7% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 atrial fibrillation or flutter reported in 1.0% of 583 patients in the clinical trial. Patients with cardiac risk factors, such as hypertension, or previous arrhythmias may be at increased risk.
Monitor for signs and symptoms of arrhythmias (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, syncope, dyspnea) and manage appropriately. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue JAYPIRCA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
5.5 Second Primary Malignancies
Second primary malignancies, including non-skin carcinomas, developed in 6% of 583 patients treated with JAYPIRCA monotherapy. The most frequent malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancer, reported in 3.8% of 583 patients. Other second primary malignancies included solid tumors (including genitourinary and breast cancers) and melanoma. Advise patients to use sun protection and monitor patients for the development of second primary malignancies.
5.6 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on findings in animals, JAYPIRCA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of pirtobrutinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused embryo-fetal toxicity including embryo-fetal mortality and malformations at maternal exposures (AUC) approximately 3-times the recommended dose of 200 mg once daily. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with JAYPIRCA and for one week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
6. Adverse Reactions/Side Effects
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
- Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
- Hemorrhage [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
- Cytopenias [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
- Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]

6.1 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 compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in the general patient population.
The data in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to JAYPIRCA as a single-agent, administered at 200 mg once daily in 583 patients with hematologic malignancies in the BRUIN study. Among these 583 patients, the median duration of exposure was 7.5 months, 56% were exposed for at least 6 months and 29% were exposed for at least one year.
In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were decreased neutrophil count (41%), decreased hemoglobin (37%), decreased platelet count (27%), fatigue (27%), musculoskeletal pain (26%), decreased lymphocyte count (24%), bruising (20%), and diarrhea (20%).
Mantle Cell Lymphoma
BRUIN
The safety of JAYPIRCA was evaluated in the BRUIN trial in patients with MCL who received a prior BTK inhibitor [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The trial required a platelet count ≥ 50 x 109/L, absolute neutrophil count ≥ 0.75 x 109/L, hepatic transaminases ≤ 2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), and an ECOG performance status of 0 to 2. The trial excluded patients with active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma, significant cardiovascular disease, major bleeding or grade ≥ 3 arrhythmia with a prior BTK inhibitor, prolonged QTc interval, or need for a strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer or strong P-gp inhibitor.
Patients received JAYPIRCA 200 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (n = 128); 36% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 10% were exposed for at least one year. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range: 1-9). The median age was 71 years (range: 46 to 88 years) and 80% of patients were male.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 38% of patients who received JAYPIRCA. Serious adverse reactions that occurred in ≥ 2% of patients were pneumonia (14%), COVID-19 (4.7%), musculoskeletal pain (3.9%), hemorrhage (2.3%), pleural effusion (2.3%), and sepsis (2.3%). Fatal adverse reactions within 28 days of the last dose of JAYPIRCA occurred in 7% of patients, most commonly due to infections (4.7%) including COVID-19 (3.1% of all patients).
Adverse reactions led to dosage reductions in 4.7%, treatment interruption in 32%, and permanent discontinuation of JAYPIRCA in 9%. Adverse reactions that resulted in dosage modification in > 5% of patients included pneumonia and neutropenia. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of JAYPIRCA in > 1% of patients included pneumonia.
The most common adverse reactions (≥ 15%), excluding laboratory terms, were fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, edema, dyspnea, pneumonia, and bruising.

The median time to onset of lymphocytosis was 1.1 weeks, with 75% of cases occurring within 2.1 weeks, and the median duration was 11 weeks.
7. Drug Interactions
7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on JAYPIRCA
Strong CYP3A Inhibitors
Pirtobrutinib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of JAYPIRCA with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increased pirtobrutinib systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of JAYPIRCA adverse reactions. Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors during treatment with JAYPIRCA. If concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors is unavoidable, reduce the JAYPIRCA dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers
Concomitant use of JAYPIRCA with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreased pirtobrutinib systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce JAYPIRCA efficacy. Avoid concomitant use of JAYPIRCA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. If concomitant use of moderate CYP3A inducers is unavoidable, increase the JAYPIRCA dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
7.2 Effect of JAYPIRCA on Other Drugs
Sensitive CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP3A, P-gp, or BCRP Substrates
JAYPIRCA is a P-gp inhibitor, a moderate CYP2C8 and BCRP inhibitor, and a weak CYP2C19 and CYP3A inhibitor. Concomitant use of JAYPIRCA with sensitive P-gp, CYP2C8, BCRP, CYP2C19, or CYP3A substrates increased their plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates for drugs which are sensitive to minimal concentration changes. Follow recommendations for sensitive CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP3A, P-gp, or BCRP substrates provided in their approved product labeling.
8. Use In Specific Populations
8.1 Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Based on findings from animal studies, JAYPIRCA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on JAYPIRCA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, administration of pirtobrutinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes, including structural abnormalities, altered fetal growth, and embryo-fetal mortality, at maternal exposures approximately 3-times those in patients at the recommended daily dose of 200 mg (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.
The background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.
Data
Animal Data
In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals were administered oral doses of pirtobrutinib at up to 500 mg/kg twice daily during the period of organogenesis. Doses ≥ 375 mg/kg twice daily caused decreased fetal body weights and increased incidence of malformations and variations in the urinary tract (including absent or abnormal ureters and kidneys), reproductive tract (malpositioned ovaries and misshapen uterus), and bone (misshapen sternebrae). At 500 mg/kg twice daily, total resorption was observed. At 375 mg/kg twice daily in rats, the maternal systemic exposures (AUC) were approximately 3 times the human exposure at 200 mg once daily.
8.2 Lactation
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of pirtobrutinib in human milk or the effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with JAYPIRCA and for one week after the last dose.
8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential
Based on findings from animal studies, JAYPIRCA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
8.4 Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of JAYPIRCA have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Of the patients with MCL who received the 200 mg dose of JAYPIRCA in BRUIN, 93 (78%) were 65 years of age and older and 39 (33%) were 75 years and older [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Clinical studies of JAYPIRCA did not include sufficient numbers of patients with MCL who were less than 65 years of age to determine whether older patients respond differently from younger adult patients.
In the pooled safety population in patients with hematologic malignancies, 392 (67%) were 65 years of age and older, while 153 (26%) were 75 years of age and older. Patients aged 65 years and older experienced higher rates of Grade 3 and higher adverse reactions and serious adverse reactions compared to patients who were less than 65 years of age.
8.6 Renal Impairment
Severe renal impairment (eGFR15-29 mL/min) increases pirtobrutinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Reduce the JAYPIRCA dosage in patients with severe renal impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. No dosage adjustment of JAYPIRCA is recommended in patients with mild (60-89 mL/min) or moderate (30-59 mL/min) renal impairment.
8.7 Hepatic Impairment
No dosage adjustment of JAYPIRCA is recommended in patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > ULN or total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST), moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 × ULN and any AST), or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 × ULN and any AST) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
11. Jaypirca Description
Pirtobrutinib is a kinase inhibitor. It is an orally available, small molecule ATP-competitive inhibitor of BTK. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is pirtobrutinib with the molecular formula C22H21F4N5O3 and a molecular weight of 479.44 g/mol. The chemical name for pirtobrutinib is 5-amino-3-{4-[(5-fluoro-2-methoxybenzamido)methyl]phenyl}-1-[(2S)-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide.
Pirtobrutinib is a white to practically white to yellow to brown solid. The aqueous solubility of pirtobrutinib is considered practically insoluble, or insoluble, across the pH 1 to pH 7 range.
Pirtobrutinib tablets are supplied as 50 mg or 100 mg film-coated, debossed tablets for oral administration. Each tablet contains inactive ingredients of croscarmellose sodium, hypromellose acetate succinate, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose and silicon dioxide. The tablet film coating material contains FD&C Blue #2, hypromellose, titanium dioxide and triacetin.
12. Jaypirca - Clinical Pharmacology
12.1 Mechanism of action
Pirtobrutinib is a small molecule, noncovalent inhibitor of BTK. BTK is a signaling protein of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) and cytokine receptor pathways. In B-cells, BTK signaling results in activation of pathways necessary for B-cell proliferation, trafficking, chemotaxis, and adhesion. Pirtobrutinib binds to wild type BTK and BTK harboring C481 mutations, leading to inhibition of BTK kinase activity. In nonclinical studies, pirtobrutinib inhibited BTK-mediated B-cell CD69 expression and inhibited malignant B-cell proliferation. Pirtobrutinib showed dose-dependent anti-tumor activities in BTK wild type and BTK C481S mutant mouse xenograft models.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
At the recommended dosage of 200 mg once daily, pirtobrutinib trough concentrations exceeded the BTK IC96. BTK occupancy is maintained throughout the dosing interval, regardless of the intrinsic rate of BTK turnover.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
The effect of a single 900 mg dose of pirtobrutinib (equivalent to approximately 2 times higher than the concentrations achieved at steady state at the recommended dosage of 200 mg once daily) on the QTc interval was evaluated in a placebo-controlled and positive-controlled study in 30 healthy subjects. Pirtobrutinib had no clinically meaningful effect on the change in QTcF interval (i.e., > 10 ms) and there was no relationship between pirtobrutinib exposure and change in QTc interval.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of pirtobrutinib were characterized in healthy subjects and in patients with cancer. Pirtobrutinib exposure (AUC) and Cmax increases proportionally following single oral doses ranging from 300 mg to 800 mg (1.5 to 4 times the approved recommended dosage) and once daily doses ranging from 25 – 300 mg (0.125 to 1.5 times the recommended dosage). Steady state was achieved within 5 days of once daily dosing, and the mean (CV%) accumulation ratio was 1.63 (26.7%) based on AUC after administration of 200 mg dosages.
Following administration of the recommended dosage, the geometric mean (CV%) steady-state AUC and Cmax of pirtobrutinib were 91300 h*ng/mL (41%) and 6460 ng/mL (26%), respectively. The geometric mean (CV%) AUC0-24 and Cmax of pirtobrutinib on Cycle 1 Day 8 were 81800 h*ng/mL (66.6%) and 3670 ng/mL (89.5%), respectively.
Absorption
The absolute bioavailability of pirtobrutinib after a single oral 200 mg dose is 85.5% (range 75.9% to 90.9%). The median time (range) to reach peak plasma concentration (tmax) is approximately 2 hours (0.833 to 4.15 hours).
Effect of Food
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of pirtobrutinib were observed following administration of a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories with 150 calories from protein, 250 calories from carbohydrate, and 500 to 600 calories from fat) to healthy subjects. A high-fat meal decreased the Cmax of pirtobrutinib by 23% and delayed tmax by 1 hour. There was no effect on pirtobrutinib AUC.
Distribution
The mean apparent central volume of distribution of pirtobrutinib is 32.8 L. Human protein binding of pirtobrutinib is 96% and is independent of concentration in vitro. Mean blood-to-plasma ratio is 0.79.
Elimination
The effective half-life of pirtobrutinib is approximately 19 hours and the mean (CV%) apparent clearance is 2.02 L/h (37.9%).
Specific Populations
There were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of pirtobrutinib based on age (range 27 – 95 years), sex, race/ethnicity (White 86%, Asian 7%), body weight (range 35.7 – 152.5 kg), mild (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > ULN or total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST), moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 × ULN and any AST), or severe (total bilirubin > 3 × ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment. The effect of other races/ethnicities on the pharmacokinetics of pirtobrutinib is unknown.
Patients with Renal Impairment
Following a single 200 mg oral dose, the AUC of pirtobrutinib in subjects with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15-29 mL/min) increased by 62% and mean unbound AUC increased by 68% compared to healthy subjects with normal renal function. There were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of pirtobrutinib in subjects with mild (eGFR 60-89 mL/min) or moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30-59 mL/min). The effect of renal impairment requiring dialysis on the pharmacokinetics of pirtobrutinib is unknown.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Pirtobrutinib inhibits CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP3A, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6. Pirtobrutinib induces CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2B6, and CYP2C19.
Transporter Systems: Pirtobrutinib inhibits P-gp and BCRP, but not OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MATE2-K. Pirtobrutinib is not a substrate of the hepatic transporters. Pirtobrutinib is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP, but not OCT1, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, or BSEP.
13. Nonclinical Toxicology
13.1 Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with pirtobrutinib.
Pirtobrutinib was not mutagenic in a bacterial mutagenicity (Ames) assay. Pirtobrutinib was aneugenic in in vitro micronucleus assays using human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Pirtobrutinib was not genotoxic in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay at doses up to 2000 mg/kg.
Studies to assess the effects of pirtobrutinib on fertility have not been conducted. In repeat-dose toxicity studies of up to 3-months duration conducted with pirtobrutinib in rats and dogs, no effects on male or female reproductive organs were identified.
14. Clinical Studies
14.1 Mantle Cell Lymphoma
The efficacy of JAYPIRCA in patients with MCL was evaluated in BRUIN [NCT03740529], an open-label, international, single-arm study of JAYPIRCA as monotherapy. Efficacy was based on 120 patients with MCL treated with JAYPIRCA who were previously treated with a BTK inhibitor. JAYPIRCA was given orally at a dose of 200 mg once daily and was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with active central nervous system lymphoma or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or CAR-T cell therapy within 60 days were excluded.
The median age was 71 years (range: 46 to 88 years); 79% were male; 78% were White, 14% Asian, 1.7% Black or African American. Seventy-eight percent of patients had the classic/leukemic variant of MCL, 12% had pleomorphic MCL, and 11% had blastoid MCL. The simplified Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (sMIPI) score was low in 15%, intermediate in 59%, and high in 26% of patients. Patients received a median number of 3 prior lines of therapy (range: 1 to 9) with 93% having received 2 or more prior lines. All received 1 or more prior lines of therapy containing a BTK inhibitor; other prior therapies included chemoimmunotherapy in 88%, HSCT in 20%, lenalidomide in 18%, and CAR-T therapy in 9%. The most common prior BTK inhibitors received were ibrutinib (67%), acalabrutinib (30%), and zanubrutinib (8%). Patients may have received more than one prior BTK inhibitor; 83% of patients discontinued the last BTK inhibitor for refractory or progressive disease, 10% discontinued for toxicity, and 5% discontinued for other reasons.
Efficacy was based on overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR), as assessed by an independent review committee (IRC) using 2014 Lugano criteria. Efficacy results are shown in Table 4. Additionally, the Kaplan-Meier estimate for the DOR rate at 6 months was 65.3% (95% CI: 49.8, 77.1).
