Included as part of the "PRECAUTIONS" Section
Precautions for Exkivity
QTc Prolongation And Torsades De Pointes
EXKIVITY can cause life-threatening heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) prolongation, including Torsades de Pointes, which can be fatal. In the 250 patient subset of the pooled EXKIVITY safety population who had scheduled and unscheduled electrocardiograms (ECGs) [see ADVERSE REACTIONS, CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], 1.2% of patients had a QTc interval >500 msec and 11% of patients had a change-from-baseline QTc interval >60 msec. Grade 4 Torsades de Pointes occurred in 1 patient (0.4%). Clinical trials of EXKIVITY did not enroll patients with baseline QTc greater than 470 msec.
Assess QTc and electrolytes at baseline and correct abnormalities in sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium prior to initiating EXKIVITY. Monitor QTc and electrolytes periodically during treatment. Increase monitoring frequency in patients with risk factors for QTc prolongation, such as patients with congenital long QT syndrome, heart disease, severe renal impairment, or electrolyte abnormalities. Avoid use of concomitant drugs which are known to prolong the QTc interval. Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors with EXKIVITY [see DRUG INTERACTIONS, which may further prolong the QTc [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue EXKIVITY based on the severity of the QTc prolongation [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis
EXKIVITY can cause ILD/pneumonitis, which can be fatal. In the pooled EXKIVITY safety population [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 4.3% of patients including 0.8% Grade 3 events and 1.2% fatal events. Monitor patients for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Immediately withhold EXKIVITY in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue EXKIVITY if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Cardiac Toxicity
EXKIVITY can cause cardiac toxicity (including decreased ejection fraction, cardiomyopathy, and congestive heart failure) resulting in heart failure which can be fatal. In the pooled EXKIVITY safety population [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], heart failure occurred in 2.7% of patients including 1.2% Grade 3 reactions, 0.4% Grade 4 reactions, and one (0.4%) fatal case of heart failure.
EXKIVITY can cause QTc prolongation resulting in Torsades de Pointes [see QTc Prolongation And Torsades De Pointes]. Atrial fibrillation (1.6%), ventricular tachycardia (0.4%), first degree atrioventricular block (0.4%), second degree atrioventricular block (0.4%), left bundle branch block (0.4%), supraventricular extrasystoles (0.4%) and ventricular extrasystoles (0.4%) also occurred in patients receiving EXKIVITY.
Monitor cardiac function, including assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction at baseline and during treatment. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue EXKIVITY based on the severity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Diarrhea
EXKIVITY can cause diarrhea, which can be severe. In the pooled EXKIVITY safety population [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], diarrhea occurred in 93% of patients, including 20% Grade 3 and 0.4% Grade 4. The median time to first onset of diarrhea was 5 days but diarrhea has occurred within 24 hours after administration of EXKIVITY. In the 48% of patients whose diarrhea resolved, the median time to resolution was 3 days. Diarrhea may lead to dehydration or electrolyte imbalance, with or without renal impairment. Treat diarrhea promptly.
Advise patients to start an antidiarrheal agent (e.g., loperamide) at first sign of diarrhea or increased bowel movement frequency and to increase fluid and electrolyte intake.
Monitor electrolytes and withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue EXKIVITY based on the severity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, EXKIVITY can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Oral administration of mobocertinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryolethality at maternal exposures approximately 1.7 times the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the 160 mg once daily clinical dose.
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with EXKIVITY [see DRUG INTERACTIONS] and for 1 month after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with EXKIVITY and for 1 week after the last dose of EXKIVITY [see Use In Specific Populations].
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION).
QTc Interval Prolongation And Torsades De Pointes
Inform patients of the risk of QTc prolongation. Symptoms that may be indicative of significant QTc prolongation include dizziness, lightheadedness, and syncope. Advise patients to report these symptoms and to inform their healthcare provider about the use of any heart medications [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis
Inform patients of the risks of severe or fatal ILD/pneumonitis. Advise patients to contact their healthcare provider immediately to report new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath or chest pain [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Cardiac Toxicity
Inform patients of the risk of heart failure. Advise patients to contact their healthcare provider immediately if they experience any signs or symptoms of heart failure such as palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, and syncope [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Diarrhea
Inform patients that EXKIVITY may cause diarrhea, which may be severe in some cases and should be treated promptly. Advise patients to have antidiarrheal medicine readily available and promptly start antidiarrheal treatment (e.g., loperamide), increase oral fluids and electrolyte intake, and contact their healthcare provider if diarrhea occurs [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to inform their healthcare provider of a known or suspected pregnancy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Use In Specific Populations].
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with EXKIVITY and for 1 month after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with EXKIVITY and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Lactation
Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with EXKIVITY and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Infertility
Advise females and males of reproductive potential that EXKIVITY may impair fertility [see Use In Specific Populations].
Drug Interactions
Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider of all concomitant medications, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal products [see DRUG INTERACTIONS]. Inform patients to avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking EXKIVITY.
Missed Dose
Advise patients that if a dose of EXKIVITY is missed by 6 hours or if vomiting occurs, resume treatment as prescribed the next day [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies were not performed with mobocertinib. Mobocertinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay and did not induce chromosomal aberrations in an in vitro chromosome aberration assay in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Mobocertinib was not clastogenic in an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus test in rats.
Fertility, early embryonic development, and pre-and post-natal toxicology studies were not conducted with mobocertinib; however, in 4-and 13-week repeat-dose toxicology studies in rats and dogs, there were generally reversible changes that included decreases in organ weights affecting multiple reproductive organs (including ovaries, seminal vesicle/prostate gland, and/or uterus) at exposures ≥0.3 times the AUC observed at the recommended clinical dose of 160 mg once daily, as well as microscopic changes of decreased epithelial thickness/inflammation of the cervix/vagina and atrophy of the uterus, prostate gland, or mammary gland (males only) at exposures ≥0.2 times the AUC at the 160 mg once daily clinical dose in rats and/or dogs. Based on these findings, mobocertinib may impair fertility in males and females of reproductive potential. These effects may be reversible.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], EXKIVITY can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on EXKIVITY use in pregnant women. Oral administration of mobocertinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryolethality (embryo-fetal death) and maternal toxicity at plasma exposures approximately 1.7 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 160 mg once 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 an embryo-fetal development study, once daily oral administration of mobocertinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in maternal toxicity (reduced body weight gain and food consumption) at 10 mg/kg (approximately 1.7 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 160 mg once daily clinical dose). Adverse effects on embryo-fetal development at this dose level included embryolethality due to post-implantation loss (embryo-fetal death) and effects on fetal growth (decreased fetal weights). There was no clear evidence of fetal malformations at the high dose level (10 mg/kg).
Lactation
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of mobocertinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with EXKIVITY and for 1 week after the last dose.
Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential
EXKIVITY can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Pregnancy].
Pregnancy Testing
Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating EXKIVITY.
Contraception
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with EXKIVITY and for 1 month after the last dose. EXKIVITY may render hormonal contraceptives ineffective [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Males
Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with EXKIVITY and for 1 week after the last dose.
Infertility
Based on animal studies, EXKIVITY may impair fertility in males and females of reproductive potential [see Nonclinical Toxicology].
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of EXKIVITY in pediatric patients have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Of the 114 patients [see Clinical Studies] who received EXKIVITY in clinical studies, 37% were 65 years and over, and 7% were 75 years and over. No overall difference in effectiveness was observed between patients aged 65 and older and younger patients. Exploratory analysis suggests a higher incidence of Grade 3 and 4 adverse reactions (69% vs 47%) and serious adverse reactions (64% vs 35%) in patients 65 years and older as compared to those younger than 65 years.
Renal Impairment
Mobocertinib plasma concentrations are higher in patients with severe renal impairment [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Reduce the recommended dosage of EXKIVITY for patients with severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] equation) [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION) and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. No dosage adjustment of EXKIVITY is recommended for patients with mild-to-moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 by MDRD equation).
Hepatic Impairment
No dosage adjustment of EXKIVITY is recommended for patients with mild (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] > ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST)-to-severe (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
