Side Effects of Tabrecta

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. Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer The safety of TABRECTA was evaluated in GEOMETRY mono-1 . Patients received TABRECTA 400 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (N = 373). Among patients who received TABRECTA, 37% were exposed for at least 6 months and 22% were exposed for at least one year. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 53% of patients who received TABRECTA. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients included dyspnea (7%), pneumonia (7%), pleural effusion (4.3%), musculoskeletal pain (3.8%), general physical health deterioration (2.9%), ILD/pneumonitis (2.7%), edema (2.4%), and vomiting (2.4%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 0.5% of patients who received TABRECTA, including pneumonitis (0.3%) and death, not otherwise specified (0.3%). Permanent discontinuation of TABRECTA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 17% of patients.

The most frequent adverse reactions (≥ 1%) leading to permanent discontinuation of TABRECTA were ILD/pneumonitis (2.4%), edema (2.4%), fatigue (1.3%), and pneumonia (1.1%). Dose interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 57% of patients who received TABRECTA. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption in > 2% of patients who received TABRECTA included edema, increased blood creatinine, nausea, increased lipase, vomiting, increased ALT, dyspnea, pneumonia, fatigue, increased amylase, increased AST, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, and increased blood bilirubin. Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 26% of patients who received TABRECTA.

Warnings & Cautions for Tabrecta

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis

ILD/pneumonitis, which can be fatal, occurred in patients treated with TABRECTA . ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 4.8% of patients treated with TABRECTA in GEOMETRY mono-1, with 1.9% of patients experiencing Grade 3 ILD/pneumonitis and one patient experiencing death (0.3%). Nine patients (2.4%) discontinued TABRECTA due to ILD/pneumonitis. The median time-to-onset of Grade 3 or higher ILD/pneumonitis was 1.8 months (range: 0.2 months to 1.7 years). Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Immediately withhold TABRECTA in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified .

Hepatotoxicity Hepatotoxicity occurred in patients treated with

TABRECTA . Increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 15% of patients treated with TABRECTA in GEOMETRY mono-1. Grade 3 or 4 increased ALT/AST occurred in 7% of patients. Three patients (0.8%) discontinued TABRECTA due to increased ALT/AST. The median time-to-onset of Grade 3 or higher increased ALT/AST was 1.8 months (range: 0.5 to 46.4 months). Monitor liver function tests (including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin) prior to the start of TABRECTA, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months of treatment, then once a month or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop increased transaminases or bilirubin. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TABRECTA .

Pancreatic Toxicity Elevations in amylase and lipase levels occurred in patients treated

with TABRECTA . Increased amylase/lipase occurred in 14% of patients treated with TABRECTA in GEOMETRY mono-1. Grade 3 and 4 increased amylase/lipase occurred in 7% and 1.9% of patients, respectively. Three patients (0.8%) discontinued TABRECTA due to increased amylase/lipase. The median time-to-onset of Grade 3 or higher increased amylase/lipase was 2 months (range: 0.03 to 31.1 months). Pancreatitis (Grade 3) occurred in one patient (0.3%); TABRECTA was permanently discontinued for this event.

Monitor amylase and lipase at baseline and regularly during treatment with TABRECTA. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, temporarily withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TABRECTA .

Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious hypersensitivity reactions occurred in patients treated with

TABRECTA in clinical trials other than GEOMETRY mono-1 . Signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity included pyrexia, chills, pruritus, rash, decreased blood pressure, nausea and vomiting. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, temporarily withhold or permanently discontinue TABRECTA .

Risk of Photosensitivity

Based on findings from animal studies, there is a potential risk of photosensitivity reactions with TABRECTA . In GEOMETRY mono-1, it was recommended that patients use precautionary measures against ultraviolet exposure such as use of sunscreen or protective clothing during treatment with TABRECTA. Advise patients to limit direct ultraviolet exposure during treatment with TABRECTA.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, TABRECTA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Oral administration of capmatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations at exposures less than the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TABRECTA and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TABRECTA and for 1 week after the last dose .

Drug Interactions with Tabrecta

Effect of Other Drugs on

TABRECTA Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Coadministration of TABRECTA with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increased capmatinib exposure, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of TABRECTA . Closely monitor patients for adverse reactions during coadministration of TABRECTA with strong CYP3A inhibitors. Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Coadministration of TABRECTA with a strong CYP3A inducer decreased capmatinib exposure. Coadministration of TABRECTA with a moderate CYP3A inducer may also decrease capmatinib exposure.

Decreases in capmatinib exposure may decrease TABRECTA anti-tumor activity . Avoid coadministration of TABRECTA with strong and moderate CYP3A inducers.

Effect of

TABRECTA on Other Drugs CYP1A2 Substrates Coadministration of TABRECTA increased the exposure of a CYP1A2 substrate, which may increase the adverse reactions of these substrates . If coadministration is unavoidable between TABRECTA and CYP1A2 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, decrease the CYP1A2 substrate dosage in accordance with the approved prescribing information. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) Substrates Coadministration of TABRECTA increased the exposure of a P-gp substrate and a BCRP substrate, which may increase the adverse reactions of these substrates . If coadministration is unavoidable between TABRECTA and P-gp or BCRP substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, decrease the P-gp or BCRP substrate dosage in accordance with the approved prescribing information. MATE1 and MATE2K Substrates Coadministration of TABRECTA may increase the exposure of MATE1 and MATE2K substrates, which may increase the adverse reactions of these substrates . If coadministration is unavoidable between TABRECTA and MATE1 or MATE2K substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, decrease the MATE1 or MATE2K substrate dosage in accordance with the approved prescribing information.

Pregnancy Safety for Tabrecta

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action , TABRECTA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on TABRECTA use in pregnant women. Oral administration of capmatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations at maternal exposures less than the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose ( see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

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 rats, maternal toxicity (reduced body weight gain and food consumption) occurred at 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.4 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose). Fetal effects included reduced fetal weights, irregular/incomplete ossification, and increased incidences of fetal malformations (e.g., abnormal flexure/inward malrotation of hindpaws/forepaws, thinness of forelimbs, lack of/reduced flexion at the humerus/ulna joints, and narrowed or small tongue) at doses of ≥ 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.6 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose). In rabbits, no maternal effects were detected at doses up to 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.5 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose). Fetal effects included small lung lobe at ≥ 5 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.016 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose), and reduced fetal weights, irregular/incomplete ossification and increased incidences of fetal malformations (e.g., abnormal flexure/malrotation of hindpaws/forepaws, thinness of forelimbs/hindlimbs, lack of/reduced flexion at the humerus/ulna joints, small lung lobes, narrowed or small tongue) at the dose of 60 mg/kg/day.
