Uses

OLINVYK is indicated in adults for the management of acute pain severe enough to require an intravenous opioid analgesic and for whom alternative treatments are inadequate. Limitations of Use Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, misuse, overdose, and death, which can occur at any dosage or duration, and persist over the course of therapy, reserve opioid analgesics, including OLINVYK, for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are ineffective, not management of pain. The cumulative total daily dose should not exceed 27 mg, as total daily doses greater than 27 mg may increase the risk for QTc interval prolongation. OLINVYK is an opioid agonist indicated in adults for the management of acute pain severe enough to require an intravenous opioid analgesic and for whom alternative treatments are inadequate.

How it works

Oliceridine is a full opioid agonist and is relatively selective for the mu-opioid receptor. The principal therapeutic action of oliceridine is analgesia. Like all full opioid agonists, there is no ceiling effect to analgesia for oliceridine. Clinically, dosage is titrated to provide adequate analgesia and may be limited by adverse reactions, including respiratory, and CNS depression. The precise mechanism of the analgesic action is unknown. However, specific CNS opioid receptors for endogenous compounds with opioid-like activity have been identified throughout the brain and spinal cord and are thought to play a role in the analgesic effects of this drug.

Dosing overview

For intravenous administration only. OLINVYK should be prescribed only by healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable about the use of opioids and how to mitigate the associated risks. Use the lowest effective dosage for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals. Reserve titration to higher doses of OLINVYK for patients in whom lower doses are insufficiently effective and in whom the expected benefits of using a higher dose opioid clearly outweigh the substantial risks. Initiate the dosing regimen for each patient individually, taking into account the patient’s underlying cause and severity of pain, prior analgesic treatment and response, and risk factors for addiction, abuse and misuse. Respiratory depression can occur at any time during opioid therapy, especially when initiating and following dosage increases with OLINVYK.

Contraindications

Acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or in absence of resuscitative equipment. Known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, including paralytic ileus. Known hypersensitivity to oliceridine

Warnings and precautions

Boxed warning (serious and life-threatening risks from use of olinvyk): Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse Because the use of OLINVYK exposes patients and other users to the risks of opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death, assess each patient’s risk prior to prescribing and reassess all patients regularly for the development of these behaviors and conditions. Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia and Allodynia: Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia (OIH) occurs when an opioid analgesic paradoxically causes an increase in pain, or an increase in sensitivity to pain. If OIH is suspected, carefully consider appropriately decreasing the dose of the current opioid analgesic or opioid rotation. Potential for QT Prolongation with Daily Doses Exceeding 27 mg: May increase risk for QT interval prolongation.

Side effects

The following adverse reactions are described, or described in greater detail, in other sections: Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse Life-threatening Respiratory Depression Interactions with Benzodiazepines or Other CNS Depressants Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia and Allodynia Adrenal Insufficiency Severe Hypotension Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions Seizures Withdrawal The most common (incidence ≥10%) adverse reactions in controlled clinical trials (Studies 1 and 2) were nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, constipation, pruritus, and hypoxia.

Interactions

Table 6 includes clinically significant drug interactions with OLINVYK. Table 6: Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with OLINVYK Moderate to Strong Inhibitors of CYP2D6 Clinical Impact: Concomitant administration of a moderate to strong CYP2D6 inhibitor can increase the plasma concentration of oliceridine, resulting in increased or prolonged opioid effects. Intervention: If concomitant use is necessary, patients taking a moderate to strong CYP2D6 inhibitor may require less frequent dosing of OLINVYK. Monitor closely for respiratory depression and sedation at frequent intervals and base subsequent doses on the patient’s severity of pain and response to treatment. If a CYP2D6 inhibitor is discontinued, increase of the OLINVYK dosage may be considered until stable drug effects are achieved. Monitor for signs of opioid withdrawal.
