4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 
 
4.1 Therapeutic indications 
 
Lojuxta is indicated as an adjunct to a low-fat diet and other lipid-lowering medicinal products with or 
without low density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis in adult patients with homozygous familial 
hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH). 
 
Genetic confirmation of HoFH should be obtained whenever possible. Other forms of primary 
hyperlipoproteinemia and secondary causes of hypercholesterolaemia (e.g., nephrotic syndrome, 
hypothyroidism) must be excluded. 
 
4.2 Posology and method of administration 
 
Treatment with Lojuxta should be initiated and monitored by a physician experienced in the treatment 
of lipid disorders. 
 
Posology 
 
The recommended starting dose is 5 mg once daily. After 2 weeks the dose may be increased, based 
on acceptable safety and tolerability, to 10 mg and then, at a minimum of 4-week intervals, to 20 mg, 
40 mg, and to the maximum recommended dose of 60 mg (see section 4.8). 
 
The dose should be escalated gradually to minimise the incidence and severity of gastrointestinal 
adverse reactions and aminotransferase elevations. 
 



4 

Administration with food may increase exposure to lomitapide. It should be taken on an empty 
stomach, at least 2 hours after the evening meal because the fat content of a recent meal may adversely 
impact gastrointestinal tolerability.  
 
The occurrence and severity of gastrointestinal adverse reactions associated with the use of Lojuxta 
decreases in the presence of a low fat diet. Patients should follow a diet supplying less than 20% of 
energy from fat prior to initiating treatment, and should continue this diet during treatment. Dietary 
counselling should be provided. 
 
Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice (see sections 4.4 and 4.5). 
 
For patients on a stable maintenance dose of Lojuxta who receive atorvastatin either: 

• Separate the dose of the medicinal products by 12 hours 
OR 

• Decrease the dose of Lojuxta by half. 
 
Patients on 5 mg should remain on 5 mg. 
Careful titration may then be considered according to LDL-C response and safety/tolerability. 
Upon discontinuation of atorvastatin the dose of Lojuxta should be up-titrated according to LDL-C 
response and safety/tolerability. 
 
For patients on a stable maintenance dose of Lojuxta who receive any other weak CYP3A4 inhibitor, 
separate the dose of the medicinal products (Lojuxta and the weak CYP3A4 inhibitor) by 12 hours.  
 
Consider limiting the maximum dose of Lojuxta according to desired LDL-C response.  
Exercise additional caution if administering more than 1 weak CYP3A4 inhibitor with Lojuxta. 
 
Based on observations of decreased essential fatty acid and vitamin E levels in clinical studies, 
patients should take daily dietary supplements that provide 400 IU vitamin E and approximately 
200 mg linoleic acid, 110 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), 210 mg alpha linolenic acid (ALA) and 
80 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) per day, throughout treatment with Lojuxta. 
 
Special populations 
 
Elderly population 
There is limited experience with lomitapide in patients aged 65 years or older. Therefore, particular 
caution should be exercised in these patients. 
 
Since the recommended dose regimen involves starting at the low end of the dosing range and 
escalating cautiously according to individual patient tolerability, no adjustment to the dosing regimen 
is recommended for the elderly. 
 
Hepatic impairment 
Lomitapide is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment including 
patients with unexplained persistent abnormal liver function tests (see sections 4.3 and 5.2). 
 
Patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A) should not exceed 40 mg daily. 
 
Renal impairment  
Patients with end-stage renal disease receiving dialysis should not exceed 40 mg daily (see 
section 5.2). 
 
Paediatric population 
The safety and efficacy of lomitapide in children <18 years have not been established and the use of 
this medicinal product in children is therefore not recommended. No data are available.  
 



5 

Method of administration 
 
Oral use. 
 
4.3 Contraindications 
 
• Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1. 
• Patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment and those with unexplained persistent 

abnormal liver function tests (see section 4.2). 
• Patients with a known significant or chronic bowel disease such as inflammatory bowel disease 

or malabsorption.  
• Concomitant administration of >40 mg simvastatin (see section 4.5). 
• Concomitant use of Lojuxta with strong or moderate cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitors 

(e.g., antifungal azoles such as itraconazole, fluconazole,ketoconazole, voriconazole, 
posaconazole; macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin or clarithromycin; ketolide antibiotics 
such as telithromycin; HIV protease inhibitors; the calcium channel blockers diltiazem and 
verapamil, and the anti-arrhythmic dronedarone [see section 4.5]). 

• Pregnancy (see section 4.6). 
 
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use 
 
Liver enzyme abnormalities and liver monitoring 
 
Lomitapide can cause elevations in the liver enzymes alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and aspartate 
aminotransferase [AST] and hepatic steatosis (see section 5.1). There have been no concomitant or 
subsequent clinically meaningful elevations in serum bilirubin, INR, or alkaline phosphatase. The 
extent to which lomitapide-associated hepatic steatosis promotes the elevations in aminotransferase is 
unknown. The liver enzyme changes can occur at any time during therapy, but occur most often during 
dose escalation. 
Although cases of hepatic dysfunction (elevated aminotransferase with increase in bilirubin or 
International Normalized Ratio [INR]) or hepatic failure have not been reported, there is concern that 
lomitapide could induce steatohepatitis, which can progress to cirrhosis over several years. The 
clinical studies supporting the safety and efficacy of lomitapide in HoFH would have been unlikely to 
detect this adverse outcome given their size and duration. 
 
Monitoring of liver function tests  
 
Measure ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase (gamma-GT) 
and serum albumin before initiation of treatment with Lojuxta. The medicinal product is 
contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment and those with unexplained 
persistent abnormal liver function tests. If the baseline liver-related tests are abnormal, consider 
initiating the medicinal product after appropriate investigation by a hepatologist and the baseline 
abnormalities are explained or resolved.  
 
During the first year, measure liver-related tests (ALT and AST, at a minimum) prior to each increase 
in dose or monthly, whichever occurs first. After the first year, do these tests at least every 3 months 
and before any increase in dose. Decrease the dose of Lojuxta if elevations of aminotransferase are 
observed and discontinue treatment for persistent or clinically significant elevations (see Table 1 for 
specific recommendations).   
 
Dose modification based on elevated hepatic aminotransferases 
 
Table 1 summarizes recommendations for dose adjustment and monitoring for patients who develop 
elevated aminotransferase during therapy with Lojuxta.  



6 

Table 1: Dose adjustment and monitoring for patients with elevated aminotransferases 

ALT or AST Treatment and monitoring recommendations* 

≥3x and <5x Upper 
Limit of Normal 
(ULN) 

• Confirm elevation with a repeat measurement within one week. 

• If confirmed, reduce the dose and obtain additional liver-related tests if 
not already measured (such as alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, and 
INR).   

• Repeat tests weekly and withhold dosing if there are signs of abnormal 
liver function (increase in bilirubin or INR), if aminotransferase levels 
rise above 5x ULN, or if aminotransferase levels do not fall below 3x 
ULN within approximately 4 weeks. Refer patients with persistent 
elevations in aminotransferase >3x ULN to a hepatologist for further 
investigation. 

• If resuming Lojuxta after aminotransferase levels resolve to <3x ULN, 
consider reducing the dose and monitor liver-related tests more 
frequently.  

≥5x ULN • Withhold dosing and obtain additional liver-related tests if not already 
measured (such as alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, and INR).  If 
aminotransferase levels do not fall below 3x ULN within approximately 
4 weeks refer the patient to a hepatologist for further investigation. 

• If resuming Lojuxta after aminotransferase levels resolve to <3x ULN, 
reduce the dose and monitor liver-related tests more frequently. 

*Recommendations based on an ULN of approximately 30-40 international units/L. 
 
If aminotransferase elevations are accompanied by clinical symptoms of liver injury (such as nausea, 
vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, lethargy, flu-like symptoms), increases in bilirubin ≥2x 
ULN, or active liver disease, discontinue treatment with Lojuxta and refer the patient to a hepatologist 
for further investigation. 
 
Reintroduction of treatment may be considered if the benefits are considered to outweigh the risks 
associated with potential liver disease.  
 
Hepatic steatosis and risk of progressive liver disease 
 
Consistent with the mechanism of action of lomitapide, most treated patients exhibited increases in 
hepatic fat content. In an open-label Phase 3 study, 18 of 23 patients with HoFH developed hepatic 
steatosis (hepatic fat >5.56%) as measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) (see 
section 5.1). The median absolute increase in hepatic fat was 6% after both 26 weeks and 78 weeks of 
treatment, from 1% at baseline, measured by MRS. Hepatic steatosis is a risk factor for progressive 
liver disease including steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. The long term consequences of hepatic steatosis 
associated with lomitapide treatment are unknown. Clinical data suggest that hepatic fat accumulation 
is reversible after stopping treatment with Lojuxta, but whether histological sequelae remain is 
unknown, especially after long-term use.  
 
Monitoring for evidence of progressive liver disease. 
 
Regular screening for steatohepatitis/fibrosis should be performed at baseline and on an annual basis 
using the following imaging and biomarker evaluations: 
 

• Imaging for tissue elasticity, e.g. Fibroscan, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), or 
magnetic resonance (MR) elastography 

 
• Gamma-GT and serum albumin to detect possible liver injury 
 



7 

• At least one marker from each of the following categories:  
 

• High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), CK-
18 Fragment, NashTest (liver inflammation) 

• Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) panel, Fibrometer, AST/ALT ratio, Fib-4 score, Fibrotest 
(liver fibrosis) 

  
The performance of these tests and their interpretation should involve collaboration between the 
treating physician and the hepatologist. Patients with results suggesting the presence of steatohepatitis 
or fibrosis should be considered for liver biopsy.  
 
If a patient has biopsy-proven steatohepatitis or fibrosis, the benefit-risk should be reassessed and 
treatment stopped if necessary. 
 
Dehydration 
 
Post-marketing reports of dehydration and hospitalisation in patients treated with lomitapide have been 
reported. Patients treated with lomitapide should be advised of the potential risk of dehydration in 
relation to gastrointestinal adverse reactions and take precautions to avoid fluid depletion. 
 
Concomitant use of CYP3A4 inhibitors 
 
Lomitapide appears to be a sensitive substrate for CYP3A4 metabolism. CYP3A4 inhibitors increase 
the exposure of lomitapide, with strong inhibitors increasing exposure approximately 27-fold. 
Concomitant use of moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors with Lojuxta is contraindicated (see 
section 4.3). In the lomitapide clinical studies, one patient with HoFH developed markedly elevated 
aminotransferase (ALT 24x ULN, AST 13x ULN) within days of initiating the strong CYP3A4 
inhibitor clarithromycin. If treatment with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is unavoidable, 
Lojuxta should be stopped during the course of treatment. 
 
Weak CYP3A4 inhibitors are expected to increase the exposure of lomitapide when taken 
simultaneously. When administered with atorvastatin, the dose of Lojuxta should either be taken 
12 hours apart or be decreased by half (see section 4.2). The dose of Lojuxta should be administered 
12 hours apart from any other weak CYP3A4 inhibitor. 
 
Concomitant use of CYP3A4 inducers 
 
Medicinal products that induce CYP3A4 would be expected to increase the rate and extent of 
metabolism of lomitapide. CYP3A4 inducers exert their effect in a time-dependent manner, and may 
take at least 2 weeks to reach maximal effect after introduction. Conversely, on discontinuation, 
CYP3A4 induction may take at least 2 weeks to decline. 
 
Co-administration of a CYP3A4 inducer is expected to reduce the effect of lomitapide. Any impact on 
efficacy is likely to be variable. When co-administering CYP3A4 inducers (i.e. aminoglutethimide, 
nafcillin, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, phenobarbital, rifampicin, carbamazepine, 
pioglitazone, glucocorticoids, modafinil and phenytoin) with Lojuxta, the possibility of a drug-drug 
interaction affecting efficacy should be considered. The use of St. John’s Wort should be avoided with 
Lojuxta. 
 
It is recommended to increase the frequency of LDL-C assessment during such concomitant use and 
consider increasing the dose of Lojuxta to ensure maintenance of the desired level of efficacy if the 
CYP3A4 inducer is intended for chronic use. On withdrawal of a CYP3A4 inducer, the possibility of 
increased exposure should be considered and a reduction in the dose of Lojuxta may be necessary. 
 



8 

Concomitant use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (‘statins’) 
 
Lomitapide increases plasma concentrations of statins. Patients receiving Lojuxta as adjunctive 
therapy to a statin should be monitored for adverse events that are associated with the use of high 
doses of statins. Statins occasionally cause myopathy. In rare cases, myopathy may take the form of 
rhabdomyolysis with or without acute renal failure secondary to myoglobinuria, and can lead to 
fatality. All patients receiving lomitapide in addition to a statin should be advised of the potential 
increased risk of myopathy and told to report promptly any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or 
weakness. Doses of simvastatin >40 mg should not be used with Lojuxta (see section 4.3). 
 
Grapefruit juice 
 
Grapefruit juice must be omitted from the diet while patients are treated with Lojuxta. 
 
Risk of supratherapeutic or subtherapeutic anticoagulation with coumarin based anticoagulants 
 
Lomitapide increases the plasma concentrations of warfarin. Increases in the dose of Lojuxta may lead 
to supratherapeutic anticoagulation, and decreases in the dose may lead to subtherapeutic 
anticoagulation. Difficulty controlling INR contributed to early discontinuation from the Phase 3 study 
for one of five patients taking concomitant warfarin. Patients taking warfarin should undergo regular 
monitoring of the INR, especially after any changes in the dose of Lojuxta. The dose of warfarin 
should be adjusted as clinically indicated. 
 
Use of alcohol 
 
Alcohol may increase levels of hepatic fat and induce or exacerbate liver injury. In the Phase 3 study, 
3 of 4 patients with ALT elevations >5x ULN reported alcohol consumption beyond the limits 
recommended in the protocol. The use of alcohol during lomitapide treatment is not recommended. 
 
Hepatotoxic agents 
 
Caution should be exercised when Lojuxta is used with other medicinal products known to have 
potential for hepatotoxicity, such as isotretinoin, amiodarone, acetaminophen (>4 g/day for 
≥3 days/week), methotrexate, tetracyclines, and tamoxifen. The effect of concomitant administration 
of lomitapide with other hepatotoxic medicine is unknown. More frequent monitoring of liver-related 
tests may be warranted. 
 
Reduced absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and serum fatty acids 
 
Given its mechanism of action in the small intestine, lomitapide may reduce the absorption of 
fat-soluble nutrients. In the Phase 3 study, patients were provided daily dietary supplements of vitamin 
E, linoleic acid, ALA, EPA and DHA. In this study, the median levels of serum vitamin E, ALA, 
linoleic acid, EPA, DHA, and arachidonic acid decreased from baseline to Week 26 but remained 
above the lower limit of the reference range. Adverse clinical consequences of these reductions were 
not observed with lomitapide treatment of up to 78 weeks. Patients treated with Lojuxta should take 
daily supplements that contain 400 international units vitamin E and approximately 200 mg linoleic 
acid, 210 mg ALA, 110 mg EPA, and 80 mg DHA. 
 
Contraception measures in women of child-bearing potential 
 
Before initiating treatment in women of child-bearing potential, appropriate advice on effective 
methods of contraception should be provided, and effective contraception initiated. Patients taking 
oestrogen-based oral contraceptives should be advised about possible loss of effectiveness due to 
diarrhoea and/or vomiting (see section 4.5). Oestrogen-containing oral contraceptives are weak 
CYP3A4 inhibitors (see section 4.2).  
 



9 

Patients should be advised to immediately contact their physician and stop taking Lojuxta if they 
become pregnant (see section 4.6). 
 
Lactose 
 
Lojuxta contains lactose. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total-lactase 
deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicinal product.

Medicinal products Effects on lomitapide levels Recommendation concerning 
co-administration with Lojuxta 

Inhibitors of CYP3A4 

 

When lomitapide 60 mg was 
co-administered with 
ketoconazole 200 mg twice 
daily, a strong inhibitor of 
CYP3A4, lomitapide AUC 
increased approximately 27-fold 
and Cmax increased 
approximately 15-fold. 

Interactions between moderate 
CYP3A4 inhibitors and 
lomitapide have not been 
studied.  

Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors are 
predicted to have a substantial 
impact on lomitapide’s 
pharmacokinetics. Concomitant 
use of moderate CYP3A4 
inhibitors are expected to 
increase lomitapide exposure by 
4-10 fold based on the results of 
the study with the strong 
CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole 
and on historical data for the 
model CYP3A4 probe 
midazolam. 

Weak CYP3A4 inhibitors are 
expected to increase the 
exposure of lomitapide when 
taken simultaneously. 

When lomitapide 20 mg was 
co-administered simultaneously 
with atorvastatin, a weak 
CYP3A4 inhibitor, lomitapide 
AUC and Cmax increased 
approximately 2-fold. When the 
dose of lomitapide was taken 
12 hours apart from atorvastatin, 

Use of strong or moderate inhibitors of 
CYP3A4 is contraindicated with 
Lojuxta. If treatment with antifungal 
azoles (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole, 
fluconazole, voriconazole, 
posaconazole); the antiarrhythmic 
dronedarone; macrolide antibiotics (e.g., 
erythromycin, clarithromycin); ketolide 
antibiotics (e.g., telithromycin); HIV 
protease inhibitors; the calcium channel 
blockers diltiazem and verapamil is 
unavoidable, therapy with Lojuxta 
should be suspended during the course of 
treatment (see sections 4.3 and 4.4). 

Grapefruit juice is a moderate inhibitor 
of CYP3A4 and is expected to 
substantially increase exposure to 
lomitapide. Patients taking Lojuxta 
should avoid consumption of grapefruit 
juice. 

When administered with atorvastatin, the 
dose of Lojuxta should either be taken 
12 hours apart or be decreased by half 
(see section 4.2). The dose of Lojuxta 
should be taken 12 hours apart from any 
other concomitant weak CYP3A4 
inhibitors. Examples of weak CYP3A4 
inhibitors include: alprazolam, 
amiodarone, amlodipine, atorvastatin, 
azithromycin, bicalutamide, cilostazol, 
cimetidine, ciclosporin, clotrimazole, 
fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, fosaprepitant, 
ginkgo, goldenseal, isoniazid, ivacaftor, 
lacidipine, lapatinib, linagliptin, 
nilotinib, oestrogen-containing oral 
contraceptives, pazopanib, peppermint 
oil, propiverine, ranitidine, ranolazine, 
roxithromycin, Seville oranges, 
tacrolimus, ticagrelor and tolvaptan. This

no clinically meaningful increase 
in lomitapide exposure was 
observed. 

When lomitapide 20 mg was co-
administered simultaneously or 
12 hours apart with ethinyl 
estradiol/norgestimate, a weak 
CYP3A4 inhibitor, no clinically 
meaningful increase in 
lomitapide exposure was 
observed. 

list is not intended to be comprehensive 
and prescribers should check the 
prescribing information of medicinal 
products to be co-administered with 
Lojuxta for potential CYP3A4 mediated 
interactions.  

The effect of administration of more than 
one weak CYP3A4 inhibitor has not 
been tested, but the effect on the 
exposure of lomitapide is expected to be 
greater than for co-administration of the 
individual inhibitors with lomitapide. 

Exercise additional caution if 
administering more than 1 weak 
CYP3A4 inhibitor with Lojuxta. 

Inducers of CYP3A4 Medicines that induce CYP3A4 
would be expected to increase 
the rate and extent of 
metabolism of lomitapide. 
Consequently, this would reduce 
the effect of lomitapide. Any 
impact on efficacy is likely to be 
variable. 

When co-administering CYP3A4 
inducers (i.e., aminoglutethimide, 
nafcillin, non-nucleoside reverse 
transcriptase inhibitors, phenobarbital, 
rifampicin, carbamazepine, pioglitazone, 
St John’s Wort, glucocorticoids, 
modafinil and phenytoin) with Lojuxta, 
the possibility of a drug-drug interaction 
affecting efficacy should be considered. 
It is recommended to increase the 
frequency of LDL-C assessment during 
such concomitant use and consider 
increasing the dose of Lojuxta to ensure 
maintenance of the desired level of 
efficacy if the CYP3A4 inducer is 
intended for chronic use. 

Bile acid sequestrants Lomitapide has not been tested 
for interaction with bile acid 
sequestrants (resins such as 
colesevelam and 
cholestyramine).  

Because bile acid sequestrants can 
interfere with the absorption of oral 
medicines, bile acid sequestrants should 
be taken at least 4 hours before or at least 
4 hours after Lojuxta. 

 
Effects of lomitapide on other medicinal products 
 
HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors (“Statins”): Lomitapide increases plasma concentrations of statins. 
When lomitapide 60 mg was administered to steady state prior to simvastatin 40 mg, simvastatin acid 
AUC and Cmax increased 68% and 57%, respectively. When lomitapide 60 mg was administered to 
steady state prior to atorvastatin 20 mg, atorvastatin acid AUC and Cmax increased 52% and 63%, 
respectively. When lomitapide 60 mg was administered to steady state prior to rosuvastatin 20 mg, 
rosuvastatin Tmax increased from 1 to 4 hours, AUC was increased 32%, and its Cmax was unchanged.  
The risk of myopathy with simvastatin is dose related. Use of Lojuxta is contraindicated in patients 
treated with high doses of simvastatin (>40 mg) (see sections 4.3 and 4.4). 
 
Coumarin anticoagulants: When lomitapide 60 mg was administered to steady state and 6 days 
following warfarin 10 mg, INR increased 1.26-fold. AUCs for R(+)-warfarin and S(-)-warfarin 
increased 25% and 30%, respectively. Cmax for R(+)-warfarin and S(-)-warfarin increased 14% and 



11 

15%, respectively. In patients taking coumarins (such as warfarin) and Lojuxta concomitantly, INR 
should be determined before starting Lojuxta and monitored regularly with dosage of coumarins 
adjusted as clinically indicated (see section 4.4). 
 
Fenofibrate, niacin and ezetimibe: When lomitapide was administered to steady state prior to 
micronised fenofibrate 145 mg, extended release niacin 1000 mg, or ezetimibe 10 mg, no clinically 
significant effects on the exposure of any of these medicinal products were observed. No dose 
adjustments are required when co-administered with Lojuxta. 
 
Oral contraceptives: When lomitapide 50 mg was administered to steady state along with an 
oestrogen-based oral contraceptive, no clinically meaningful or statistically significant impact on the 
pharmacokinetics of the components of the oral contraceptive (ethinyl estradiol and 17-deacetyl 
norgestimate, the metabolite of norgestimate) was observed. Lomitapide is not expected to directly 
influence the efficacy of oestrogen based oral contraceptives; however diarrhoea and/or vomiting may 
reduce hormone absorption. In cases of protracted or severe diarrhoea and/or vomiting lasting more 
than 2 days, additional contraceptive measures should be used for 7 days after resolution of symptoms. 
 
P-gp substrates: Lomitapide inhibits P-gp in vitro, and may increase the absorption of P-gp substrates. 
Coadministration of Lojuxta with P gp substrates (such as aliskiren, ambrisentan, colchicine, 
dabigatran etexilate, digoxin, everolimus, fexofenadine, imatinib, lapatinib, maraviroc, nilotinib, 
posaconazole, ranolazine, saxagliptin, sirolimus, sitagliptin, talinolol, tolvaptan, topotecan) may 
increase the absorption of P gp substrates. Dose reduction of the P gp substrate should be considered 
when used concomitantly with Lojuxta. 
 
In vitro assessment of drug interactions: Lomitapide inhibits CYP3A4. Lomitapide does not induce 
CYPs 1A2, 3A4, or 2B6, and does not inhibit CYPs 1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 2E1. Lomitapide is 
not a P-gp substrate but does inhibit P-gp. Lomitapide does not inhibit breast cancer resistance protein 
(BCRP). 
 
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation 
 
Use in women of child-bearing potential 
 
Before initiating treatment in women of child-bearing potential, the absence of pregnancy should be 
confirmed, appropriate advice on effective methods of contraception provided, and effective 
contraception initiated. Patients taking oestrogen-based oral contraceptives should be advised about 
possible loss of effectiveness due to diarrhoea and/or vomiting. Additional contraceptive measures 
should be used until resolution of symptoms (see section 4.5). 
 
Pregnancy 
 
Lojuxta is contraindicated during pregnancy. There are no reliable data on its use in pregnant women. 
Animal studies have shown developmental toxicity (teratogenicity, embryotoxicity, see section 5.3). 
The potential risk for humans is unknown.  
 
Breast-feeding 
 
It is not known whether lomitapide is excreted into human milk. Because of the potential for adverse 
effects based on findings in animal studies with lomitapide (see section 5.3), a decision should be 
made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or discontinue the medicinal product, taking into account 
the importance of the medicinal product to the mother.

Fertility  
 
No adverse effects on fertility were observed in male and female rats administered lomitapide at 
systemic exposures (AUC) estimated to be 4 to 5 times higher than in humans at the maximum 
recommended human dose (see section 5.3).  
 
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines 
 
Lojuxta has minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines.  
 
4.8 Undesirable effects 
 
Summary of the safety profile 
 
The most serious adverse reactions during treatment were liver aminotransferase abnormalities (see 
section 4.4). 
 
The most common adverse reactions were gastrointestinal effects. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions 
were reported by 27 (93%) of 29 patients in the Phase 3 clinical study. Diarrhoea occurred in 79% of 
patients, nausea in 65%, dyspepsia in 38%, and vomiting in 34%. Other reactions reported by at least 
20% of patients include abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension, constipation, 
and flatulence. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions occurred more frequently during the dose escalation 
phase of the study and decreased once patients established the maximum tolerated dose of lomitapide. 
 
Gastrointestinal adverse reactions of severe intensity were reported by 6 (21%) of 29 patients in the 
Phase 3 clinical study, with the most common being diarrhoea (4 patients, 14%); vomiting (3 patients, 
10%); and abdominal pain, distension, and/or discomfort (2 patients, 7%). Gastrointestinal reactions 
contributed to the reasons for early discontinuation from the study for 4 (14%) patients. 
 
The most commonly reported adverse reactions of severe intensity were diarrhoea (4 subjects, 14%), 
vomiting (3 patients, 10%), and abdominal distension and ALT increased (2 subjects each, 7%). 
 
Tabulated list of adverse reactions 
 
Frequency of the adverse reactions is defined as: very common (≥1/10), common (≥1/100 to <1/10), 
uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100), rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000), very rare (<1/10,000), not known 
(cannot be estimated from the available data). 
 
Table 3 lists all adverse reactions reported across the 35 patients treated in the Phase 2 Study UP1001 
and in the Phase 3 Study UP1002/AEGR-733-005 or its extension study AEGR-733-012.

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions 
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It 
allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare 
professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system 
listed in Appendix V. 
 
4.9 Overdose 
 
There is no specific treatment in the event of overdose. In the event of overdose, the patient should be 
treated symptomatically and supportive measures instituted as required. Liver related tests should be 
monitored. Haemodialysis is unlikely to be beneficial given that lomitapide is highly protein bound. 
 
In rodents, single oral doses of lomitapide ≥600 times higher than the maximum recommended human 
dose (1 mg/kg) were well tolerated. The maximum dose administered to human subjects in clinical 
studies was 200 mg as a single dose; there were no adverse reactions. 
 
 
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES 
 
5.1  Pharmacodynamic properties 
 
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Lipid modifying agents, other lipid modifying agents, ATC code: 
C10AX12 

 
Mechanism of action 
 
Lomitapide is a selective inhibitor of microsomal transfer protein (MTP), an intracellular lipid-transfer 
protein that is found in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and is responsible for binding and 
shuttling individual lipid molecules between membranes. MTP plays a key role in the assembly of 
apo B containing lipoproteins in the liver and intestines. Inhibition of MTP reduces lipoprotein 
secretion and circulating concentrations of lipoprotein-borne lipids including cholesterol and 
triglycerides.

Clinical efficacy and safety 
 
A single arm, open-label study (UP1002/AEGR-733-005) evaluated the efficacy and safety of 
lomitapide when co-administered with a low-fat diet and other lipid-lowering therapies in adult 
patients with HoFH. Patients were instructed to maintain a low-fat diet (<20% calories from fat) and 
their lipid-lowering therapies at study entry, including apheresis if applicable, from 6 weeks prior to 
baseline through at least Week 26. The dose of lomitapide was escalated from 5 mg to an individually 
determined maximum tolerated dose up to 60 mg. After Week 26, patients remained on lomitapide to 
determine the effects of longer-term treatment and were allowed to change background lipid-lowering 
therapies. The study provided for a total of 78 weeks of treatment. 
 
Twenty-nine patients were enrolled, of whom 23 completed through Week 78. Sixteen males (55%) 
and 13 females (45%) were included with a mean age of 30.7 years, ranging from 18 to 55 years. The 
mean dose of lomitapide was 45 mg at Week 26 and 40 mg at Week 78. At Week 26, the mean percent 
change in LDL-C from baseline of LDL-C was -40% (p<0.001) in the Intent to Treat (ITT) population. 
Mean percent change from baseline through Week 26 using last observation carried forward (LOCF) 
to each assessment is shown in Figure 1.

At both Week 26 and Week 78, there were significant reductions in LDL-C, TC, apo B, TG, 
non-HDL-C, VLDL-C and changes in HDL-C trended lower at Week 26 and returned to baseline 
levels by Week 78.  
 
The effect of Lojuxta on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined. 
 
At baseline, 93% were on a statin, 76% were on ezetimibe, 10% on niacin, 3% on a bile acid 
sequestrant and 62% were receiving apheresis. Fifteen of 23 (65%) patients had their lipid-lowering 
treatment reduced by Week 78, including planned and unplanned reductions/interruptions. Apheresis 
was discontinued in 3 out of 13 patients who were on it at Week 26, and frequency was reduced in 
3 patients while maintaining low LDL-C levels through Week 78. The clinical benefit of reductions in 
background lipid-lowering therapy, including apheresis, is not certain. 
 
Of the 23 patients who completed through Week 26, 19 (83%) had LDL-C reductions ≥25% with 
8 (35%) having LDL-C <100 mg/dL and 1 having LDL-C <70 mg/dL at that time point. 
 
In this study, 10 patients experienced elevations in AST and/or ALT >3 x ULN (see Table 6).

Elevations in ALT and/or AST >5 x ULN were managed with a dose reduction or temporary 
suspension of lomitapide dosing, and all patients were able to continue with study drug treatment. No 
clinically meaningful elevations in total bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase were observed. Hepatic fat 
was prospectively measured using MRS in all eligible patients during the clinical study (Table 7). Data 
from individuals who had repeat measurements after stopping lomitapide show that hepatic fat 
accumulation is reversible, but whether histological sequelae remain is unknown.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties 
 
Absorption 
 
The absolute oral bioavailability of lomitapide is 7%. Absorption is not limited by penetration of the 
active substance across the intestinal barrier but is predominantly influenced by an extensive first pass 
effect. Peak plasma concentrations of lomitapide were reached 4-8 hours following oral dosing. 
Lomitapide pharmacokinetics is approximately dose-proportional for oral single doses in the 
therapeutic range. Doses higher than 60 mg suggest a trend toward nonlinearity and are not 
recommended.  
 
Upon multiple dosing Cmax and AUC increased in approximate proportion to lomitapide dose. Cmax and 
AUC were increased following either a high-fat meal (77% and 58%, respectively) or low fat meal 
(70% and 28%, respectively). Accumulation of lomitapide in plasma was consistent with that 
predicted after a single dose following once daily oral dosing above 25 mg for up to 4 weeks. 
Inter-individual variability in lomitapide AUC was approximately 50%. 
 
At steady state the accumulation of lomitapide was 2.7 at 25 mg and 3.9 at 50 mg. 
 
Distribution 
 
Following intravenous administration, the volume of distribution of lomitapide was high 
(mean=1200 litres) despite a high degree (>99.8%) of binding to plasma protein.   In animal studies 
lomitapide was highly concentrated (200-fold) in the liver. 
 
Biotransformation 
 
Lomitapide is extensively metabolised, predominantly by CYP3A4. CYP isoforms 2E1, 1A2, 2B6, 
2C8, and 2C19 are involved to a lesser extent and isoforms 2D6 and 2C9 are not involved in the 
metabolism of lomitapide.  
 
Elimination 
 
Following administration of a radiolabeled oral solution dose to healthy subjects, 93% of the 
administered dose was recovered in urine and faeces. Approximately 33% of the radioactivity was 
excreted in urine as metabolites. The remainder was excreted in faeces, primarily as oxidised 
metabolites. The elimination half-life of lomitapide was approximately 29 hours. 
 
Special populations 
 
Data in the pivotal clinical study were analysed with respect to the impact of potential covariates on 
lomitapide exposure. Of the parameters examined (race, body mass index (BMI), gender, weight, age), 
only BMI could be classified as a potential covariate.  
 
Age and gender 
 
There was no clinically relevant effect of age (18-64 years) or gender on the pharmacokinetics of 
lomitapide. 
 
Race 
 
No dose adjustment is required for Caucasian or Latino patients. There is insufficient information to 
determine if Lojuxta requires dose adjustment in other races. However, since the medicinal product is 
dosed in an escalating fashion according to individual patient safety and tolerability, no adjustment to 
the dosing regimen is recommended based on race. 
 



20 

Renal insufficiency 
 
In the renal impairment population, lomitapide was only studied in patients with end-stage renal 
disease (ESRD). A pharmacokinetic study in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis 
demonstrated a 36% increase in mean lomitapide plasma concentration compared to matched healthy 
controls. The terminal half-life of lomitapide was not affected. 
 
Hepatic insufficiency 
 
A single-dose, open-label study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of 60 mg lomitapide 
in healthy volunteers with normal hepatic function compared with patients with mild (Child-Pugh A) 
and moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment. In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, 
lomitapide AUC and Cmax were 164% and 361% higher, respectively, compared with healthy 
volunteers. In patients with mild hepatic impairment, lomitapide AUC and Cmax were 47% and 4% 
higher, respectively, compared with healthy volunteers. Lojuxta has not been studied in patients with 
severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 10-15). 
 
Paediatric population 
 
Lojuxta has not been investigated in children less than 18 years of age. 
 
Elderly population 
 
Lojuxta has not been investigated in patients aged 65 years or older.  
 
5.3 Preclinical safety data 
 
In repeat-dose oral toxicology studies in rodents and dogs, the principal drug-related findings were 
lipid accumulation in the small intestine and/or liver associated with decreases in serum cholesterol 
and/or triglyceride levels. These changes are secondary to the mechanism of action of lomitapide. 
Other liver-related changes in repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats and dogs included increased serum 
aminotransferases, subacute inflammation (rats only), and single-cell necrosis. In a 1 year repeat-dose 
study in dogs there were no microscopic changes in the liver although serum AST was minimally 
increased in females.  
 
Pulmonary histiocytosis was observed in rodents. Decreased red blood cell parameters as well as 
poikilocytosis and/or anisocytosis were observed in dogs. Testicular toxicity was observed in dogs at 
205 times the human exposure (AUC) at 60 mg in a 6-month study. No adverse effects on the testes 
were observed in a 1-year study in dogs at 64 times the human exposure at 60 mg. 
 
In a dietary carcinogenicity study in mice, lomitapide was administered up to 104 weeks at doses 
ranging from 0.3 to 45 mg/kg/day. There were statistically significant increases in the incidences of 
liver adenoma and carcinoma at doses ≥1.5 mg/kg/day in males (≥ 2 times the human exposure at 
60 mg daily based on AUC) and ≥7.5 mg/kg/day in females (≥ 9 times the human exposure at 60 mg 
based on AUC). Incidences of small intestinal carcinoma and/or combined adenoma and carcinoma 
(rare tumours in mice) were significantly increased at doses ≥15 mg/kg/day in males (≥ 26 times the 
human exposure at 60 mg based on AUC) and at 15 mg/kg/day in females (22 times the human 
exposure at 60 mg based on AUC).  
 
In an oral carcinogenicity study in rats, lomitapide was administered up to 99 weeks at doses up to 
7.5 mg/kg/day in males and 2.0 mg/kg/day in females. Focal hepatic fibrosis was observed in males 
and females and hepatic cystic degeneration was observed in males only. In high-dose males, an 
increased incidence of pancreatic acinar cell adenoma was observed at an exposure 6 times that in 
humans at 60 mg based on AUC. 
 
Lomitapide was not mutagenic or genotoxic in a battery of in vitro and in vivo studies. 
 



21 

Lomitapide had no effect on reproductive function in female rats at doses up to 1 mg/kg or in male rats 
at doses up to 5 mg/kg. Systemic exposures to lomitapide at these doses were estimated to be 4 times 
(females) and 5 times (males) higher than the human exposure at 60 mg based on AUC. 
 
Lomitapide was teratogenic in rats in the absence of maternal toxicity at an exposure (AUC) estimated 
to be twice that in humans at 60 mg. There was no evidence of embryofoetal toxicity in rabbits at 
3 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 60 mg based on body surface area. 
Embryofoetal toxicity was observed in rabbits in the absence of maternal toxicity at ≥6.5 times the 
MRHD. In ferrets, lomitapide was both maternally toxic and teratogenic at <1 times the MRHD.

important information for you. 
- Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again. 
- If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. 
- This medicine has been prescribed for you only. Do not pass it on to others. It may harm them,

6. Contents of the pack and other information 
 
 
1. What Lojuxta is and what it is used for 
 
Lojuxta contains the active substance called lomitapide. Lomitapide is a “lipid-modifying agent” 
which works by blocking the action of “microsomal triglyceride transfer protein.” This protein is 
located within the liver and the gut cells, where it is involved in assembling fatty substances into larger 
particles that are then released into the blood stream. By blocking this protein, the medicine decreases 
the level of fats and cholesterol (lipids) in the blood. 
 
Lojuxta is used to treat adult patients with very high cholesterol because of a condition that runs in 
their families (homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia or HoFH). It is typically passed down by 
both father and mother, who also have high cholesterol passed down from their parents. The patient’s 
“bad” cholesterol level is very high from a very early age. The “bad” cholesterol can lead to heart 
attacks, strokes or other events at an early age. Lojuxta is used with a low-fat diet and other lipid 
lowering treatments to decrease your cholesterol levels. 
 
Lojuxta can lower blood levels of: 

• low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) 
• total cholesterol 
• apolipoprotein-B, a protein that carries “bad cholesterol” in the blood 
• triglycerides (fat carried in the blood)  

 
 



36 

2. What you need to know before you take Lojuxta 
 
Do not take Lojuxta: 
• if you are allergic to lomitapide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 

6). 
• if you have liver problems or unexplained abnormal liver tests.  
• if you have bowel problems or cannot absorb food from your bowel. 
• if you take more than 40 mg of simvastatin daily (another medicine used to lower cholesterol). 
• if you take any of these medicines that affect the way lomitapide is broken down in the body: 

o itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole (for fungal 
infections) ; 

o telithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin (for bacterial infections) 
o indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir (for HIV infection) ; 
o diltiazem, verapamil (for high blood pressure, or angina), and dronedarone (to 

regulate heart rhythm). 
• if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or think you may be pregnant (see section 2 under 

‘Pregnancy and breast-feeding’). 
 
Warnings and precautions  
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Lojuxta if you:  
 
• have had liver problems, including liver problems whilst taking other medicines. 

These capsules may cause side effects which can also be symptoms of liver problems. These 
side-effects are listed in section 4 and you must tell your doctor immediately if you have any 
of these signs and symptoms, as they may be caused by liver damage.  Your doctor will give 
you a blood test to check your liver before you start taking these capsules, if your dose is 
increased, and regularly during treatment. These blood tests help your doctor adjust your dose. 
If your tests show some liver problems, your doctor may decide to reduce your dose or stop the 
treatment. 

 
You may in some cases experience loss of fluids/dehydration, e.g. in case of vomiting, nausea and 
diarrhoea. It is important to avoid dehydration by drinking enough fluids (see section 4). 
 
Children and adolescents 
No studies have been conducted in children and adolescents under the age of 18. Therefore the use of 
this medicine in children and adolescents is not recommended.

1. What Lojuxta is and what it is used for 
 
Lojuxta contains the active substance called lomitapide. Lomitapide is a “lipid-modifying agent” 
which works by blocking the action of “microsomal triglyceride transfer protein.” This protein is 
located within the liver and the gut cells, where it is involved in assembling fatty substances into larger 
particles that are then released into the blood stream. By blocking this protein, the medicine decreases 
the level of fats and cholesterol (lipids) in the blood. 
 
Lojuxta is used to treat adult patients with very high cholesterol because of a condition that runs in 
their families (homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia or HoFH). It is typically passed down by 
both father and mother, who also have high cholesterol passed down from their parents. The patient’s 
“bad” cholesterol level is very high from a very early age. The “bad” cholesterol can lead to heart 
attacks, strokes or other events at an early age. Lojuxta is used with a low-fat diet and other lipid 
lowering treatments to decrease your cholesterol levels. 
 
Lojuxta can lower blood levels of: 

• low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) 
• total cholesterol 
• apolipoprotein-B, a protein that carries “bad cholesterol” in the blood 
• triglycerides (fat carried in the blood)  

 
 



45 

2. What you need to know before you take Lojuxta 
 
Do not take Lojuxta: 
• if you are allergic to lomitapide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 

6). 
• if you have liver problems or unexplained abnormal liver tests.  
• if you have bowel problems or cannot absorb food from your bowel. 
• if you take more than 40 mg of simvastatin daily (another medicine used to lower cholesterol). 
• if you take any of these medicines that affect the way lomitapide is broken down in the body: 

o itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole (for fungal 
infections) ; 

o telithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin (for bacterial infections); 
o indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir (for HIV infection) ; 
o diltiazem, verapamil (for high blood pressure, or angina), and dronedarone (to 

regulate heart rhythm). 
• if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or think you may be pregnant (see section 2 under 

‘Pregnancy and breast-feeding’). 
 
Warnings and precautions  
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Lojuxta if you:  
 
• have had liver problems, including liver problems whilst taking other medicines. 

These capsules may cause side effects which can also be symptoms of liver problems. These 
side-effects are listed in section 4 and you must tell your doctor immediately if you have any 
of these signs and symptoms, as they may be caused by liver damage. Your doctor will give you 
a blood test to check your liver before you start taking these capsules, if your dose is increased, 
and regularly during treatment. These blood tests help your doctor adjust your dose. If your tests 
show some liver problems, your doctor may decide to reduce your dose or stop the treatment. 

 
You may in some cases experience loss of fluids/dehydration, e.g. in case of vomiting, nausea and 
diarrhoea. It is important to avoid dehydration by drinking enough fluids (see section 4).

{'Title': '1. what lojuxta is and what it is used for', 'Section_Content': 'lojuxta contains the active substance called lomitapide. lomitapide is a "lipid-modifying agent" which works by blocking the action of "microsomal triglyceride transfer protein." this protein is located within the liver and the gut cells, where it is involved in assembling fatty substances into larger particles that are then released into the blood stream. by blocking this protein, the medicine decreases the level of fats and cholesterol (lipids) in the blood. lojuxta is used to treat adult patients with very high cholesterol because of a condition that runs in their families (homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia or hofh). it is typically passed down by both father and mother, who also have high cholesterol passed down from their parents. the patient\'s "bad" cholesterol level is very high from a very early age. the "bad" cholesterol can lead to heart attacks, strokes or other events at an early age. lojuxta is used with a low-fat diet and other lipid lowering treatments to decrease your cholesterol levels. lojuxta can lower blood levels of: low density lipoprotein (ldl) cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) total cholesterol apolipoprotein-b, a protein that carries "bad cholesterol" in the blood triglycerides (fat carried in the blood) 36', 'Entity_Recognition': [{'Text': 'lojuxta',
