VANRAFIA Film-coated tablet Ref.[115500] Active ingredients: Atrasentan

Source: FDA, National Drug Code (US)  Revision Year: 2025 

1. Indications and Usage

VANRAFIA is indicated to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of rapid disease progression, generally a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥1.5 g/g.

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on a reduction of proteinuria [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. It has not been established whether VANRAFIA slows kidney function decline in patients with IgAN. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory clinical trial.

2. Dosage and Administration

2.1 Pregnancy Testing

Exclude pregnancy before initiating VANRAFIA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

2.2 Recommended Dosage

The recommended dose of VANRAFIA is 0.75 mg administered orally once daily with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Swallow tablets whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew.

If a dose or doses are missed, take the prescribed dose at the next scheduled time. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.

10. Overdosage

There is no experience with overdose of VANRAFIA. Atrasentan has been given in a single dose up to 139.5 mg and multiple doses up to 40 mg/day in healthy volunteers. Overdose of VANRAFIA may result in headache or vasodilation. In the event of an overdose, standard supportive measures should be taken, as required. Dialysis is unlikely to be effective because atrasentan is highly protein-bound.

16.2. Storage and Handling
