Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The pooled safety population described in the Warnings and Precautions reflects exposure to ROMVIMZA in 83 patients with TGCT enrolled in the double-blind portion and in 35 patients with TGCT in the open-label portion who crossed over to ROMVIMZA in MOTION, and in 135 patients with TGCT or solid tumors in other clinical trials. The safety of ROMVIMZA was evaluated in 83 adult patients with TGCT in MOTION. MOTION excluded patients with bilirubin, AST, or ALT >ULN. All patients received ROMVIMZA twice weekly until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Among these patients, 82% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 30% were exposed for greater than one year. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 2.4% of patients who received ROMVIMZA. Serious adverse reactions in ≥1% included subcutaneous abscess (1.2%) and cellulitis (1.2%). Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 4.8% of patients who received ROMVIMZA. Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation in one patient each included periorbital edema, neuropathy, rash, and hypertension. Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction or laboratory abnormality occurred in 39% of patients who received ROMVIMZA. Adverse reactions leading to dose reductions in ≥2% of patients receiving ROMVIMZA were rash, periorbital edema, peripheral edema, fatigue, pruritus, face edema, increased CPK, neuropathy, and hypertension.

Dose interruptions due to an adverse reaction or laboratory abnormality occurred in 40% of patients who received ROMVIMZA. Adverse reactions leading to interruptions in ≥2% of patients included rash, fatigue, peripheral edema, increased CPK, periorbital edema, face edema, pruritus, neuropathy, and hypertension. The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities that occurred in patients receiving ROMVIMZA were increased AST, periorbital edema, fatigue, rash, increased cholesterol, peripheral edema, face edema, decreased neutrophils, decreased leukocytes, pruritus, and increased ALT. Table 3 and Table 4 summarize the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities in MOTION during the randomized phase through Week 25.

Warnings & Cautions for Romvimza

Hepatotoxicity Cases of serious and fatal liver injury have occurred with the

use of another kinase inhibitor that targets CSF1R. Serious and fatal liver injury have not been observed with ROMVIMZA. Across clinical trials in 253 patients treated with ROMVIMZA, 2% had Grade 3 increased AST, and 1% had Grade 3 increased ALT. Dose interruptions occurred in 2% of patients and dose reductions occurred in 1% of patients due to AST/ALT increase. One patient discontinued therapy due to Grade 3 AST increased. Avoid ROMVIMZA in patients with pre-existing increased serum transaminases; total bilirubin or direct bilirubin (>ULN); or active liver or biliary tract disease, including ALP. Monitor liver tests, including AST, ALT, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALP and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), prior to initiation of ROMVIMZA, twice a month for the first two months and once every 3 months for the first year of therapy and as clinically indicated thereafter.

Withhold and reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ROMVIMZA based on the severity of the hepatotoxicity.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action, ROMVIMZA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. In female rats administered vimseltinib, fetal structural abnormalities occurred at exposures that were at least 3 times the recommended dose based on area under the curve (AUC). Advise pregnant women on the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ROMVIMZA and for 1 month after the last dose.

Allergic Reactions to FD&C Yellow No.5 (Tartrazine) and No. 6 (Sunset Yellow

FCF) ROMVIMZA 20 mg capsule contains FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine) which may cause allergic reactions (including bronchial asthma) in certain susceptible patients. Although the overall incidence of FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine) sensitivity in the general population is low, it is frequently seen in patients who also have aspirin sensitivity. ROMVIMZA 14 mg and 20 mg capsules contain FD&C Yellow No.6 (Sunset Yellow FCF), which may cause allergic reactions.

Increased Creatinine without Affecting Renal Function

In MOTION, serum creatinine increased (mean increase of 19 μmol/L) and reached a maximum mean increase by 10.4 weeks compared to baseline. These increases in serum creatinine may not be associated with changes in renal function. Increases in creatinine reversed upon ROMVIMZA discontinuation.

The increases in serum creatinine may be due to inhibition of renal tubular secretion transporters. During ROMVIMZA treatment, use alternative measures that are not based on serum creatinine to assess renal function.

Drug Interactions with Romvimza

Effects of

ROMVIMZA on Other Drugs Table 5 describes drug interactions where concomitant use with ROMVIMZA affects another drug. Table 5: Effect of ROMVIMZA on Other Drugs P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with P-gp substrates while taking ROMVIMZA. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, take ROMVIMZA at least 4 hours prior to P-gp substrates unless otherwise recommended in the substrate Prescribing Information. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) This recommendation is based upon a mechanistic understanding of vimseltinib pharmacokinetics and it being a P-gp inhibitor in vitro.

Concomitant use of ROMVIMZA with P-gp substrates may increase exposure of these substrates; however, this has not been studied clinically. Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) substrates Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with BCRP substrates while taking ROMVIMZA. Refer to the Prescribing Information of the BCRP substrate for dose modifications if concomitant use cannot be avoided. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) This recommendation is based upon a mechanistic understanding of vimseltinib pharmacokinetics and it being a BCRP inhibitor in vitro.

Concomitant use of ROMVIMZA with BCRP substrates may increase exposure of these substrates; however, this has not been studied clinically. Organic Cation Transporter 2 (OCT2) substrates Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with OCT2 substrates while taking ROMVIMZA. Refer to the Prescribing Information of the OCT2 substrate for dose modifications if concomitant use cannot be avoided. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) This recommendation is based upon a mechanistic understanding of vimseltinib pharmacokinetics and it being an OCT2 inhibitor in vitro.

Concomitant use of ROMVIMZA with OCT2 substrates may increase exposure of these substrates; however, this has not been studied clinically.

Pregnancy Safety for Romvimza

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action, ROMVIMZA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on vimseltinib use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In female rats administered vimseltinib during the period of organogenesis, fetal structural abnormalities occurred at exposures that were at least 3 times the recommended dose based on AUC ( see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

Data Animal Data In a rat embryo-fetal development study, pregnant female rats were dosed once daily during the period of organogenesis (gestational days 6 to 17) at doses of 2.5, 5, or 15 mg/kg/day. Structural abnormalities (skeletal variations) occurred at ≥2.5 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC). Additional structural abnormalities (cardiac malformations) were observed at the highest dose of 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 23 times the exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC).

Pediatric Use of Romvimza

Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ROMVIMZA in pediatric patients have not been established. Animal Toxicity Data In a 26-week repeat-dose toxicology study, rats administered vimseltinib at ≥2.5 mg/kg/day had physeal thickening and decay of the incisors and molars. Bone and tooth toxicities occurred at exposures at least 8 times the recommended dose based on AUC.
