1. What Jaypirca is and what it is used for
Jaypirca is an anticancer medicine that contains the active substance pirtobrutinib. It belongs to a
class of medicines called Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors.
It is used alone (monotherapy) to treat the following blood cancers in adult patients previously treated with another BTK inhibitor:
- Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). MCL is an aggressive (fast-growing) cancer of a type of white blood cells called B-cells. B-cells are part of the immune system (the body's natural defenses). This medicine is used when the cancer has returned (relapsed) or treatment has not worked (refractory).
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): a type of cancer affecting white blood cells called lymphocytes. This medicine is used when the cancer has returned (relapsed) or treatment has not worked (refractory).
How Jaypirca works
Jaypirca works by blocking BTK, a protein in the body that enables MCL and CLL cells to grow and survive. By blocking BTK, Jaypirca helps kill these cells and may reduce their numbers, slowing down the progression of the cancer.
2. What you should know before taking Jaypirca
Do not take Jaypirca
- If you are allergic to pirtobrutinib or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Jaypirca:
- if you have an infection or are at higher risk of developing an opportunistic infection (infections seen in patients with weakened immune systems). Your doctor may prescribe medicines to treat or prevent infections.
- if you have or have previously had unusual bruising or bleeding, or if you are taking medicines or supplements that could increase the risk of bleeding. See the section “Other medicines and Jaypirca” below.
- if you have recently had low levels of red blood cells (anaemia), neutrophils (a type of white blood cell that fights infections), or platelets (components that help blood clotting).
- if you have recently undergone or are about to undergo surgery. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking Jaypirca for a short period (3 to 5 days) before and after the procedure.
- if you have or have previously had an irregular heartbeat or other heart and/or blood vessel problems, such as high blood pressure, history of heart attack, or heart valve damage.
During treatment with Jaypirca, you may develop infections. Contact your doctor if you have fever,
chills, weakness, confusion, muscle aches, cough, cold symptoms, flu-like symptoms, feel tired, experience shortness of breath, or have pain or a burning sensation when urinating. These
could be signs of an infection.
Talk to your doctor if you develop a new skin lesion or any changes in the appearance of an area of skin, as treatment with Jaypirca may increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Use sun protection and have regular skin examinations.
Rarely, during treatment with Jaypirca, unusual levels of chemicals in the blood caused by the rapid breakdown of tumour cells, known as tumour lysis syndrome (TLS), have been reported. This may lead to impaired kidney function, abnormal heartbeat, or seizures. Your doctor or another healthcare professional may perform blood tests to check for TLS.
Your doctor will monitor you for signs and symptoms of bleeding (see section 4) and may check your blood cell counts as needed during treatment.
Your doctor may monitor your heart rhythm for any irregularities during treatment.
Children and adolescents
Do not give Jaypirca to children or adolescents under 18 years of age, as it has not been studied in this age group.

ANNEX IV
SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSIONS AND REASONS FOR THE VARIATION OF THE TERMS
OF THE MARKETING AUTHORISATIONS
Scientific conclusions
Taking into account the evaluation by the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) of the Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR) for pirtobrutinib, the scientific conclusions of the PRAC are as follows:
In light of the available data on pirtobrutinib from clinical studies and spontaneous reports, including cases with a close temporal relationship, including positive de-challenge and re-challenge (one case having multiple positive re-challenges), the PRAC considers that a causal relationship between pirtobrutinib and increased liver enzyme levels is at least a reasonable possibility. The PRAC concluded that the product information for medicinal products containing pirtobrutinib should therefore be amended accordingly.
Having reviewed the PRAC recommendation, the Committee for Human Medicinal Products (CHMP) agrees with the overall conclusions and the rationale of the recommendation.
Reasons for the variation of the terms of the marketing authorisations
Based on the scientific conclusions on pirtobrutinib, the CHMP considers that the benefit-risk balance of medicinal products containing pirtobrutinib remains unchanged, subject to the proposed amendments to the product information.
The CHMP recommends a variation to the terms of the marketing authorisations.
