Cibinqo contains the active ingredient abrocitinib. It belongs to a group of medications called Janus kinase inhibitors, which help reduce inflammation. It acts by reducing the activity of an enzyme in the body called “Janus kinase”, which is involved in inflammation.

Cibinqo is used to treat adultsand adolescents 12years of age and olderwith moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema. By reducing the activity of Janus kinases, Cibinqo decreases skin itching and inflammation. This, in turn, may reduce sleep disturbances and other consequences of atopic eczema, such as anxiety or depression, and improves overall quality of life.

Do not take Cibinqo

• if you are allergic to abrocitinib or any of the other ingredients in this medicine (listed in section 6);
• if you have a severe ongoing infection, including tuberculosis;
• if you have severe liver problems;
• if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (see the section “Pregnancy, contraception, breastfeeding and fertility”).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before and during treatment with Cibinqo if:

• you have an infection or frequently get infections. Inform your doctor if you have symptoms such as fever, wounds, feeling more tired than usual, or dental problems, as they may be signs of an infection. Cibinqo may reduce your body's ability to fight infections and may worsen an existing infection or increase the likelihood of getting a new infection. If you have diabetes or are 65 years of age or older, you may be more likely to get infections;
• you have or have had tuberculosis or have been in close contact with someone with tuberculosis. Your doctor will make you undergo a tuberculosis test before starting treatment with Cibinqo and may repeat the test during treatment;
• you have ever had a herpes infection (cold sore), as Cibinqo may cause it to reappear. Inform your doctor if you have a painful skin rash with blisters, as this may be a sign of herpes;
• you have ever had hepatitis B or hepatitis C;
• you have recently been vaccinated or plan to receive a vaccine (immunization); this is because certain vaccines (vaccines made with live microorganisms) are not recommended while taking Cibinqo;

• you have had previous blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis) or lungs (pulmonary embolism) or have a higher risk of developing them (for example: if you have recently undergone major surgery, if you use hormonal contraceptives/hormone replacement therapy, if you have been identified or your close relatives have a coagulation disorder). Your doctor will discuss with you whether Cibinqo is suitable for you. Inform your doctor if you suddenly feel short of breath or have difficulty breathing, chest pain or upper back pain, swelling in your legs or arms, pain or tenderness in your legs, or redness or change in color in your legs or arms, as these may be signs of blood clots in the veins;

• you have or have had heart problems because your doctor will discuss with you whether Cibinqo is suitable for you;
• you have or have had cancer, smoke or have smoked in the past, because your doctor will discuss with you whether Cibinqo is suitable for you;
• skin cancer (non-melanoma) has been observed in patients taking Cibinqo. Your doctor may recommend that you undergo skin examinations periodically while taking Cibinqo. If new skin lesions appear during or after treatment or if existing lesions change in appearance, inform your doctor.

Additional laboratory tests

Your doctor will perform blood tests before and during treatment with Cibinqo, and may adjust the treatment as needed.

This medicine is not approved for use in children under 12 years of age because the safety and benefits of Cibinqo have not been established.

Other medicines and Cibinqo

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medicine.

Particularly, inform your doctor or pharmacist before taking Cibinqo if you are taking some of the medicines to treat:

• fungus infections (e.g., fluconazole), depression (e.g., fluoxetine or fluvoxamine), stroke (e.g., ticlopidine), as they may increase the adverse effects of Cibinqo;
• stomach acid reflux (e.g., antacids, famotidine, or omeprazole), as they may reduce the amount of Cibinqo in your blood;
• depression (e.g., citalopram, clobazam, or escitalopram), as Cibinqo may increase their effects;
• neurofibromatosis type I (e.g., selumetinib), as Cibinqo may increase their effects;
• heart failure (e.g., digoxin) or stroke (e.g., dabigatran), as Cibinqo may increase their effects;
• seizures (e.g., S-mefenitoína), as Cibinqo may increase their effects;
• stroke (e.g., clopidogrel), as Cibinqo may decrease their effects;
• asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, or atopic dermatitis (e.g., treatments with biologic antibodies, medicines that control the body's immune response, such as ciclosporin, other Janus kinase inhibitors, such as baricitinib, upadacitinib), as they may increase the risk of adverse effects.

Your doctor may ask you to avoid using or stop taking Cibinqo if you are taking some of the medicines to treat:

• tuberculosis (e.g., rifampicin), seizures or attacks (e.g., phenytoin), prostate cancer (e.g., apalutamide, enzalutamide), or HIV infection (e.g., efavirenz), as they may reduce the effectiveness of Cibinqo.

If you are in any of the above situations or are unsure, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Cibinqo.
