Voclosporin may be associated with low rate of transient serum enzyme elevations during treatment but has not been linked to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury with jaundice.</p></div><div id="Voclosporin.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Voclosporin (voe” kloe spor’ in) is a potent immunosuppressive agent that is used as therapy for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and acute lupus nephritis. Voclosporin is a derivative of cyclosporin A, a cyclic polypeptide of 11 amino acids, initially isolated from a fungus species (Beauveria nivea). Cyclosporine and voclosporin have potent immunosuppressive activity, acting as calcineurin inhibitors which block T cell activation decreasing cytokine secretion and immunologically mediated cell injury. Voclosporin differs from cyclosporine by a single amino acid, but appears to have a higher degree of selectivity and somewhat more potency. Voclosporin has been developed as an immunomodulatory agent for therapy of autoimmune conditions rather than as an antirejection agent for organ transplantation. In several clinical trials, voclosporin in combination with mycophenolate mofetil and low doses of corticosteroids was shown to alleviate the renal injury in acute lupus nephritis, decreasing proteinuria and preventing major worsening of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Voclosporin was approved for use in adults with acute lupus nephritis in the United States in 2021. It is available in capsules of 7.9 mg under the brand name Lupkynis. The typical dose is 27.7 mg (3 capsules) twice daily used in combination with mycophenolate mofetil (2 grams daily) and high dose corticosteroids followed by a rapid taper to maintenance dosing. Therapy requires careful monitoring for renal function and should be administered only by physicians with expertise in management of lupus nephritis and complications of calcineurin inhibitor therapy. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, dizziness and paresthesias. Voclosporin can also cause worsening of renal function and hypertension, and dose adjustments are often required (in up to 50% of cases). Less common but potentially severe adverse events include increased risk of severe infections and malignancies, drug-drug interactions, prolongation of the QT interval, hyperkalemia and neurotoxicity.</p></div><div id="Voclosporin.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In large randomized controlled trials of voclosporin, serum aminotransferase levels were transiently elevated in 3% of patients, but rates were similar in controls receiving conventional therapy (2%). Similar to cyclosporine, voclosporin therapy is associated with minor increases in alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin levels, although values usually remain within the normal range. In the prelicensure studies of voclosporin, there were no instances of clinically apparent liver injury attributable to therapy. Clinical experience with this agent, however, has been limited and other calcineurin inhibitors have been found to cause rare instances of hepatic injury, which are generally cholestatic, mild-to-moderate in severity and self-limited in course once treatment is stopped.</p><p>Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Voclosporin.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism by which voclosporin might cause liver injury is unknown. Other calcineurin inhibitors such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus are associated with serum enzyme elevations and rare instances of cholestatic liver injury. Voclosporin is metabolized in the liver, largely by CYP 3A4 and is susceptible to drug-drug interactions, particularly with strong inducers (such as rifampin and St. John's wort) or strong inhibitors of CYP 3A4 (such as ketoconazole) which should be avoided.</p></div><div id="Voclosporin.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Serum enzyme elevations during therapy with voclosporin are generally mild and without accompanying symptoms or jaundice. Appearance of liver injury during therapy should lead to a search for other possible causes. But if none are found, dosing should be interrupted if values rise above 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), with caution in restarting if they subsequently fall into the normal range.</p><p>Drug Class: Immunosuppressive Agents</p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, Calcineurin Inhibitors: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Cyclosporine/">Cyclosporine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Tacrolimus/">Tacrolimus</a></p></div></div><div id="Voclosporin.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Voclosporin_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
