Zokinvy (Lonafarnib)

  • Medicine Name: Zokinvy
  • API: Lonafarnib
  • Dosage Form & Strength: Capsules: 50 mg and 75 mg
  • Manufactured By: Sentynl Therapeutics, Inc

Medical Uses

Zokinvy (lonafarnib) is the first and only approved therapeutic drug to target the cause and symptoms of Progeria, also called Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), and processing-deficient Progeroid Laminopathies (PDPL) in young individuals aged 12 months and older. HGPS and PDPL are caused when the body develops harmful proteins: progerin and progerin-like proteins.
When used for Progeroid Laminopathies, Zokinvy 50 mg/75 mg capsule is only for those Progeroid Laminopathies associated with the production of these harmful irregular (progerin-like) proteins.

Recommended Dosage: The recommended starting dosage of Lonafarnib for patients with a BSA of 0.39 m2 and more is 115 mg/m2 taken twice daily with morning and evening meals to lower the probability of gastrointestinal side effects. An appropriate dosage strength does not exist for patients with a BSA of less than 0.39 m2.
After four months of treatment, the dosage of Lonafarnib can be increased to 150 mg/m2 twice daily with morning and evening meals. When calculating the total daily dose, make sure to round it to the nearest 25 mg.
In case of a missed/skipped dose, try to take it as quickly as you can with food, but only if there are more than 8 hours left before your next scheduled dose. If not more than 8 hours remain, just skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.

Warning & Precautions

  • Treatment with Lonafarnib 50 mg/75 mg may prolong the QTc interval, increasing the risk of life-threatening heart arrhythmias. Regular ECG monitoring is required, mainly if used with medicines known to prolong QTc or in individuals with known heart conditions.
  • Certain therapeutic drugs may interfere with Lonafarnib’s effectiveness or increase side effects. Avoid strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers. Let your doctor know about all medicines, including over-the-counter drugs, to ensure safe and effective use.
  • This therapeutic drug may cause kidney damage, mainly in those with pre-existing kidney issues. Routine kidney function tests and monitoring of hydration levels are essential during treatment for the prevention of potential renal complications.
  • Prolonged use of this medicinal product may affect vision due to retinal toxicity. Patients should undergo regular eye examinations and quickly report any visual changes, such as blurred vision or difficulty seeing, to their doctor.
  • Lonafarnib may impact fertility in both males and females. Patients planning to conceive should discuss probable risks and alternative existing options with their doctor before starting therapy, as the effects on long-term fertility remain uncertain.
