Warnings for Lazcluze
Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.
Precautions for Lazcluze
Venous Thromboembolic Events
LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab can cause serious and fatal venous thromboembolic events (VTE), including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The majority of these events occurred during the first four months of therapy [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
In MARIPOSA [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], VTE occurred in 36% of patients receiving LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 in 10% and Grade 4 in 0.5% of patients. On-study VTEs occurred in 1.2% of patients (n=5) while receiving anticoagulation therapy. There were two fatal cases of VTE (0.5%), 7% of patients had VTE leading to dose interruptions of LAZCLUZE, 0.5% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of LAZCLUZE, and 1.9% of patients permanently discontinued LAZCLUZE due to VTE. The median time to onset of VTEs was 84 days (range: 6 to 777).
Administer prophylactic anticoagulation for the first four months of treatment [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. The use of Vitamin K antagonists is not recommended. Monitor for signs and symptoms of VTE and treat as medically appropriate.
Withhold LAZCLUZE and amivantamab based on severity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. Once anticoagulant treatment has been initiated, resume LAZCLUZE and amivantamab at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider. In the event of VTE recurrence despite therapeutic anticoagulation, permanently discontinue amivantamab. Continue treatment with LAZCLUZE at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for recommended amivantamab dosage modification.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis
LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis.
In MARIPOSA [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.1% of patients treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 in 1.0% and Grade 4 in 0.2% of patients. There was one fatal case (0.2%) of ILD/pneumonitis and 2.9% of patients permanently discontinued LAZCLUZE and amivantamab due to ILD/pneumonitis [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Monitor patients for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Immediately withhold LAZCLUZE and amivantamab in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Dermatologic Adverse Reactions
LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab can cause severe rash including dermatitis acneiform, pruritus and dry skin.
In MARIPOSA [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], rash occurred in 86% of patients treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 in 26% of patients. The median time to onset of rash was 14 days (range: 1 to 556 days). Rash leading to dose reduction of LAZCLUZE occurred in 19% of patients, rash leading to dose interruption of LAZCLUZE occurred in 30% of patients, and LAZCLUZE was permanently discontinued due to rash in 1.7% of patients [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
When initiating treatment with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, prophylactic and
concomitant medications are recommended to reduce the risk and severity of dermatologic adverse reactions. Instruct patients to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after treatment with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab. Advise patients to wear protective clothing and use broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen.
If skin reactions develop, administer supportive care including topical corticosteroids and topical and/or oral antibiotics. For Grade 3 reactions, administer oral steroids and consider dermatologic consultation. Promptly refer patients presenting with severe rash, atypical appearance or distribution, or lack of improvement within 2 weeks to a dermatologist. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue LAZCLUZE and amivantamab based on severity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ].
Ocular Toxicity
LAZCLUZE, in combination with amivantamab, can cause ocular toxicity, including keratitis.
In MARIPOSA [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], ocular toxicity occurred in 16% of patients treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 or 4 ocular toxicity in 0.7% of patients. Promptly refer patients presenting with new or worsening eye symptoms to an ophthalmologist. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue amivantamab and continue LAZCLUZE based on severity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, LAZCLUZE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of lazertinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced embryo-fetal survival and fetal body weight in rats and malformations in rabbits at exposures approximately 4 and 0.5 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC.
Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION).
Venous Thromboembolic Events
Advise patients of the risks of serious and life threatening venous thromboembolic events (VTE), including deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Advise patients that prophylactic anticoagulants are recommended to be used for the first four months of treatment. Advise patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider for signs and symptoms of venous thromboembolism [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis
Advise patients of the risks of interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis. Advise patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider for new or worsening respiratory symptoms [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Dermatologic Adverse Reactions
Advise patients of the risk of dermatologic adverse reactions. Advise patients to apply alcohol-free (e.g., isopropanol-free, ethanol-free) emollient cream to reduce the risk of dermatologic adverse reactions. Advise patients to limit direct sun exposure during and for 2 months after treatment, to use broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen, and to wear protective clothing during treatment with LAZCLUZE. Consider prophylactic measures (e.g., use of oral antibiotics) to reduce the risk of dermatologic adverse reactions [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Ocular Toxicity
Advise patients of the risk of ocular adverse reactions. Advise patients to contact their ophthalmologist if they develop eye symptoms. Advise discontinuation of contact lenses until symptoms are evaluated [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus, to use effective contraception during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose, and to inform their healthcare provider of a known or suspected pregnancy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Use In Specific Populations]. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for recommended duration of contraception during treatment with amivantamab.
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Lactation
Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations]. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for lactation information during treatment with amivantamab.
Infertility
Advise males and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk for impaired fertility with LAZCLUZE [see Nonclinical Toxicology].
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with lazertinib.
Lazertinib was not genotoxic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay, an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay, or an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats.
In a dedicated fertility and early embryonic development study, male and female rats received oral doses of 7.5, 15, or 30 mg/kg/day of lazertinib. Males were dosed for 10 weeks (29 days prior to pairing, during mating period and continuing post-pairing). Females were dosed for 15 days prior to pairing, during mating period and up to Gestation Day 7. Lazertinib did not have clear effects on estrous cyclicity, mating, fertility, or sperm parameters, but induced an increase in post-implantation loss and decreased number of live fetuses at 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.2 times the recommended human dose of 240 mg based on body surface area). In repeat-dose oral general toxicology studies up to 13-weeks duration, lazertinib induced histologic tubular degeneration in the testis; cellular lumen debris, degeneration/necrosis, and reduced sperm in the epididymis; decreased corpora lutea in the ovary; and atrophy in the uterus and vagina. These effects were observed at exposures approximately equivalent to the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg in males, and at exposures approximately 2 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg dose in females. Findings in female reproductive organs were reversible. The tubular degeneration in the testis observed in rats at exposures approximately 4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose was not reversible within a 2-week recovery period.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], LAZCLUZE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of LAZCLUZE in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of lazertinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced embryo-fetal survival and fetal body weight in rats and malformations in rabbits at exposures approximately 4 and 0.5 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC (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, pregnant rats received oral doses of 7.5, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day of lazertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6 to 17). Lazertinib decreased fetal body weights in association with maternal toxicity at 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC). In a dose range-finding embryo-fetal development study, oral administration of a higher dose of lazertinib (75 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in increased post-implantation loss. In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, pregnant animals received oral doses of 5, 25, or 45 mg/kg/day of lazertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 19). Lazertinib caused maternal toxicity (reduced body weight and food consumption leading to moribund condition and early termination) and an increase in the incidence of skeletal malformations in the vertebra and skull (fused maxillary process/zygomatic arch) at 45 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC).
Lactation
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of lazertinib 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 LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for lactation information during treatment with amivantamab.
Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential
Based on animal data and its mechanism of action, LAZCLUZE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use In Specific Populations].
Pregnancy Testing
Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating LAZCLUZE.
Contraception
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for recommended duration of contraception during treatment with amivantamab.
Males
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose.
Infertility
Based on findings in animals, LAZCLUZE may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential. The effects on female fertility were reversible. The effects on male testes in animal studies were not reversible within a 2-week recovery period [see Nonclinical Toxicology].
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of LAZCLUZE in pediatric patients have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Of the 421 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab in MARIPOSA, 45% were 65 years and older and 12% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients aged 65 and older and younger patients.
Renal Impairment
No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 – 89 mL/min) [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
LAZCLUZE has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (eGFR < 30 mL/min).
Hepatic Impairment
No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild (total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN or total bilirubin ≤ 1.5×ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 to 3×ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
LAZCLUZE has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3×ULN and any AST).
