The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
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 safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to OJEMDA taken orally once weekly at a dose based on body surface area [see Clinical Studies (14)] in 140 patients with relapsed or refractory pediatric LGG or advanced solid tumors harboring a RAF alteration and a flat dose of 600 mg in 32 adult patients with advanced solid tumors until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Among 172 patients treated with OJEMDA, 86% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 49% were exposed for 1 year or longer.
The safety of OJEMDA was evaluated in 137 patients with relapsed or refractory pediatric LGG harboring a BRAF alteration in FIREFLY-1 (Arms 1 and 2) [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received OJEMDA at a dose based on body surface area [see Dosage and Administration (2.3] orally once weekly until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.
The median age of patients was 9 years (range 1 to 24 years); 53% male; 58% White, 7% Asian, 2% Black or African American, 6% other races, 25% race was not reported; 2.9% were Hispanic or Latino; and 90% Karnofsky/Lansky performance status of 80 to 100.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 45% of patients who received OJEMDA. Serious adverse reactions in >2% of patients included viral infection (9%), pneumonia (4%), and sepsis (4%). A fatal adverse reaction of tumor hemorrhage occurred in 1 patient (1%).
Permanent discontinuation of OJEMDA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 7% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of OJEMDA in more than one patient were tumor hemorrhage and reduction in growth velocity.
Dosage interruptions of OJEMDA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 57% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose interruption in ≥5% of patients included rash, pyrexia, vomiting, and hemorrhage.
Dosage reductions of OJEMDA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 24% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reduction in ≥2% of patients included rash, and fatigue.
The most common adverse reactions (≥30%) were rash, hair color changes, fatigue, viral infection, vomiting, headache, hemorrhage, pyrexia, dry skin, constipation, nausea, dermatitis acneiform, and upper respiratory tract infection.
The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%) were decreased phosphate, decreased hemoglobin, increased creatine phosphokinase, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased albumin, decreased lymphocytes, decreased leukocytes, increased aspartate transferase, decreased potassium, and decreased sodium.

Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.
Hemorrhage, including major hemorrhage defined as symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ, can occur with OJEMDA. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], hemorrhagic events occurred in 37% of patients, including epistaxis in 26% and intratumoral hemorrhage in 9%. Serious events of bleeding occurred in 5% of patients including Grade 5 tumor hemorrhage in 1 patient (0.6%). OJEMDA was permanently discontinued for hemorrhage in 2% of patients.
Advise patients and caregivers of the risk of hemorrhage during treatment with OJEMDA. Monitor for signs and symptoms of hemorrhage and evaluate as clinically indicated. Withhold and resume at reduced dose upon improvement, or permanently discontinue based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
OJEMDA can cause rash, including maculopapular rash and photosensitivity. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], rash occurred in 67% of patients treated with OJEMDA, including Grade 3 rash in 12%. Rash resulted in dose interruption in 15% of patients and dose reduction in 7% of patients. OJEMDA was permanently discontinued due to rash in 1% of patients (n=2). In the pooled safety population, dermatitis acneiform occurred in 26% of patients treated with OJEMDA, including Grade 3 dermatitis acneiform in 0.6% of patients (n=1). Dose reduction was required in 2% of patients (n=3) due to dermatitis acneiform.
Monitor for new or worsening skin reactions. Consider dermatologic consultation and initiate supportive care as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue OJEMDA based on severity of adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
Photosensitivity
In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], photosensitivity occurred in 12% of patients treated with OJEMDA, including Grade 3 events in 0.6% of patients (n=1). Advise patients to use precautionary measures against ultraviolet exposure such as use of sunscreen, sunglasses, and/or protective clothing during treatment with OJEMDA. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue OJEMDA based on severity of adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
OJEMDA can cause hepatotoxicity. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) occurred in 42% and increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 74%, including Grade 3 ALT in 4% and increased AST in 2% of patients treated with OJEMDA. The median time to onset of increased ALT or AST was 14 days (range: 3 to 280 days). Increased ALT or AST leading to dose interruption occurred in 5% of patients and dose reductions were required in 1.2% of patients. Increased bilirubin occurred in 23% of patients, including Grade 3 increased bilirubin in 0.6% of patients (n=1) treated with OJEMDA. Hyperbilirubinemia leading to dose discontinuation occurred in a single adult patient with an advanced non-CNS solid tumor.
Monitor liver function tests, including ALT, AST and bilirubin, before initiation of OJEMDA, one month after initiation and then every three months thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold and resume at the same or reduced dose upon improvement, or permanently discontinue OJEMDA based on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
OJEMDA can cause reductions in growth velocity. In FIREFLY-1 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], treatmentemergent adverse effects on growth were reported in 46% of 133 patients 18 years of age or younger; 35% were Grade 3 or higher. Reduction in growth velocity resulted in dose interruption in 5% of patients, dose reduction in 2.3% of patients, and permanent discontinuation in 3% of patients. The median change from baseline in height percentile was -14 (z-score change -0.6) for evaluable patients on study for 12 months (N=107) and -20 (z-score change -0.9) for evaluable patients on study for 18 months (N=95).
Growth velocity improved after interruption of treatment with OJEMDA. Among 81 evaluable patients, the median annualized growth velocity ranged from 0.86 to 1.8 cm/year during the 2-year treatment period. Of those, 17 patients had height measurements recorded at least 90 days off-treatment and had a 4.2 cm/year median annualized growth velocity. Routinely monitor patient growth during treatment with OJEMDA [see Adverse Reactions (6), Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, OJEMDA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Tovorafenib was embryo lethal in rats at doses approximately 0.8-fold the human exposure at the recommended dose based on area under the curve (AUC). Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective nonhormonal contraception during treatment with OJEMDA and for 28 days after the last dose, since OJEMDA can render some hormonal contraceptives ineffective [see Drug Interactions (7.2)]. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with OJEMDA and for 2 weeks after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
Based on nonclinical data in NF1 models without BRAF alterations, tovorafenib may promote tumor growth in patients with NF1 tumors [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2)]. Confirm evidence of a BRAF alteration prior to initiation of treatment with OJEMDA.
Tovorafenib was not carcinogenic in the 6-month study in transgenic rasH2 mice that received oral doses up to 100 mg/kg/day.
Tovorafenib was not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Tovorafenib was not genotoxic in cultured human lymphocytes without metabolic activation. Tovorafenib induced chromosomal aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes with metabolic activation at a single concentration in vitro. Tovorafenib was not genotoxic in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.
In a fertility and early embryonic development study in rats, animals were administered tovorafenib doses of 37.5, 75, or 150 mg/kg/day orally. Female animals, paired with untreated males, were dosed for 14 days prior to pairing, during the mating period, and up to Gestation Day 6. Tovorafenib decreased the number of pregnancies, corpora lutea, and live embryos, as well as increased post-implantation losses at all doses. The dose of 37.5 mg/kg/day is approximately 0.8-fold the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC.
In repeat- dose toxicology studies in rats of up to 3 months duration, tovorafenib-related findings in female rats included reversible increased thickness of the vaginal mucosa, increased size and/or numbers of corpora hemorrhagicum and hemorrhage, and non-reversible cystic follicles, decreased corpora lutea, and interstitial cell hyperplasia were observed in ovaries at doses ≥ 50 mg/kg once every other day (approximately 0.4-fold the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC). In male rats, tovorafenib reduced weights of epididymis and testes, which correlated with reversible tubular degeneration/atrophy of the testes and reduced epididymal sperm at doses ≥ 50 mg/kg once every other day (approximately 0.3-fold the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC).
In vitro, tovorafenib increased phosphorylation of ERK at clinically relevant concentrations in cells with neurofibromatosis Type 1-loss of function (NF1-LOF) suggesting activation, rather than inhibition, of the MAP kinase pathway. In an NF1 genetically engineered mouse model of plexiform neurofibroma without BRAF alteration, tovorafenib did not have antitumor activity, and while not statistically significant, an increase in tumor volume was noted in 2/12 mice (approximately 17%).
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information and Instructions for Use).
Advise patients that OJEMDA can cause bleeding and to contact their healthcare provider for signs or symptoms of bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Advise patients that OJEMDA can cause skin toxicities and to contact their healthcare provider for worsening or intolerable rash [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Advise patients that OJEMDA can cause photosensitivity. Advise patients to limit direct ultraviolet exposure during treatment with OJEMDA. Recommend that patients use precautionary measures such as use of sunscreen, sunglasses, and/or protective clothing during treatment with OJEMDA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Advise patients that OJEMDA can cause liver toxicity and to contact their healthcare provider for signs or symptoms of liver dysfunction. Advise patients that serial testing of serum liver tests (ALT, AST, bilirubin) is recommended during treatment with OJEMDA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Advise patients and caregivers that treatment with OJEMDA may cause a reduction in growth velocity, and that growth will be monitored during treatment with OJEMDA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with OJEMDA and for 2 weeks after the last dose of OJEMDA [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].

Tovorafenib is a Type II RAF kinase inhibitor of mutant BRAF V600E, wild-type BRAF, and wild-type CRAF kinases.
Tovorafenib exhibited antitumor activity in cultured cells and xenograft tumor models harboring BRAF V600E and V600D mutations, and in a xenograft model harboring a BRAF fusion.
Tovorafenib exposure is associated with reduction in height-for-age z-scores in pediatric patients. Reduced height-for-age risk persists during treatment with tovorafenib.
Higher tovorafenib exposure is associated with increased risk of skin rash, elevated liver enzymes (AST and ALT), and elevated creatine phosphokinase.
The exposure-response relationship for overall response rate based on RAPNO-LGG (Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology), and RANO-LGG (Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology) were not clinically significant over the dosage range of 290 to 476 mg/m2 (0.76-1.25 times the approved recommended dosage) [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Clinical Studies (14)].
At the recommended OJEMDA dosage of 380 mg/m2 orally once weekly (not to exceed 600 mg), a mean increase in the QT interval >20 milliseconds was not observed.
Tovorafenib pharmacokinetic parameters are presented as mean (CV%) unless otherwise indicated. Tovorafenib steady state maximum concentration (Cmax) is 6.9 µg/mL (23%) and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) is 508 µg*h/mL (31%). Time to reach steady state of tovorafenib is 12 days (33%). Tovorafenib exposure increases in a dose-proportional manner. No clinically significant tovorafenib accumulation occurs.
Tovorafenib median (minimum, maximum) time to achieve peak plasma concentration (Tmax) is 3 hours (1.5, 4 hours), following a single dose with tablets or oral suspension.
No clinically significant differences in tovorafenib Cmax and AUC were observed following administration of tablets with a high-fat meal (approximately 859 total calories, 54% fat) compared to fasted conditions, but the Tmax was delayed to 6.5 hours.
Tovorafenib apparent volume of distribution is 60 L/m2 (23%). Tovorafenib is 97.5% bound to human plasma proteins in vitro.
Tovorafenib terminal half-life is approximately 56 hours (33%) and the apparent clearance is 0.7 L/h/m2 (31%).
Metabolism
Tovorafenib is primarily metabolized by aldehyde oxidase and CYP2C8 in vitro. CYP3A, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 metabolize tovorafenib to a minor extent.
Excretion
Following a single oral dose of radiolabeled tovorafenib, 65% of the total radiolabeled dose was recovered in the feces (8.6% unchanged) and 27% of the dose was recovered in the urine (0.2% unchanged).
No clinically significant differences of tovorafenib were observed based on age (range: 1 to 94 years), sex, race (White, Black, Asian), mild hepatic impairment [bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and AST > ULN or bilirubin > 1 to 1.5x ULN and any AST], and mild-to-moderate renal impairment (eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 calculated by Schwartz equation or MDRD equation.
Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches
CYP3A Substrates: Midazolam (CYP3A4 substrate) steady-state Cmax and AUC are predicted to decrease by at least 20% following coadministration with tovorafenib.
In Vitro Studies
CYP450 Enzymes: Tovorafenib inhibits CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A, but does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP2D6 at clinically relevant concentrations.
Tovorafenib induces CYP3A, CYP2C8, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 at clinically relevant concentrations.
Transporter Systems: Tovorafenib is not a substrate of BCRP, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Tovorafenib has not been evaluated as a substrate of OAT1, OAT3, MATE1, MATE2-K and OCT2. Tovorafenib inhibits BCRP at clinically relevant concentrations.

Not included in the box:
|
|
Note: Your prescribed dose of OJEMDA for oral suspension may require preparing 2 bottles of the powder to give your prescribed dose of OJEMDA for oral suspension. If 2 bottles are required:
|
Section A: Preparing, measuring, and taking or giving a dose of OJEMDA for oral suspension |
|
|
Step 1. Wash and dry your hands before preparing, measuring, and taking or giving a dose of OJEMDA for oral suspension. |
|
|
Step 2. Place your supplies on a clean, flat work surface. |
|
|
Step 3. Fill a cup half-way with room temperature water. Do not use cold water. |
 |
|
Step 4. Remove air from the oral dosing syringe. Pull the plunger up into the oral dosing syringe as far as it will go, and then push the plunger back down into the oral dosing syringe as far as it will go. This will help to remove all the air inside. |
 |
|
Step 5. Place the oral dosing syringe tip in the water. Pull up on the plunger to draw water into the oral dosing syringe to the 14 mL mark. Note: Add exactly 14 ml of water to the bottle with powder. |
 |
|
Step 6. Remove the oral dosing syringe from the cup. Turn the oral dosing syringe tip upward and check for air bubbles. If large air bubbles appear in the oral dosing syringe, push the water back into the cup and then pull up on the plunger again to draw up the water to the 14 mL mark. Repeat Step 6 until there are no large air bubbles present. Small air bubbles are ok. Set the oral dosing syringe aside. |
 |
|
Step 7. Open the bottle with powder by pushing down firmly on the cap and turning it to the left (counterclockwise).
Do not use the bottle with powder if the safety seal under the cap is broken or missing. Call your healthcare provider or pharmacist if the safety seal is broken. |
 |
|
Step 8. Insert the tip of the oral dosing syringe into the opening of the bottle. Push down on the plunger and inject 14 mL of water into the bottle.
|
 |
|
Step 9: Turn bottle upside down to check for any powder stuck to the inside of the bottle.
|
 |
|
Step 10. Turn the bottle upside down again and swirl for 30 seconds.
|
 |
|
Step 11. Open the bottle by firmly pressing down on the cap and turning it to the left (counterclockwise). Do not throw away the cap. Firmly insert the bottle adaptor into the bottle by pushing it tightly into the top of the bottle. The top edge of the bottle adaptor should be even with the bottle top. Do not remove the bottle adaptor after it is inserted into the bottle. |
 |
|
Step 12. Check your or your child’s dose in milliliters (mL) as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Pick up the oral dosing syringe again. Each mark on the oral dosing syringe is equal to 1 mL. Draw air into the oral dosing syringe by pulling the plunger out to your prescribed dose. For example, if your prescribed dose is 12 mL, you would draw the oral dosing syringe by pulling the plunger out to the 12 mL mark. |
 |
|
Step 13. Insert the tip of the oral dosing syringe into the bottle adaptor.
|
 |
|
Step 14. Inject the air from the oral dosing syringe into the bottle. Hold the oral dosing syringe in place and turn the bottle upside down. To measure the prescribed dose, keep the tip of the oral dosing syringe facing up and pull down on the plunger until the top of the plunger lines up with the prescribed dose in mLs. |
 |
|
Step 15. While the syringe is still in the bottle, remove any air bubbles in the oral dosing syringe by gently pushing the OJEMDA oral suspension back into the bottle and then pulling down on the plunger again to draw up your prescribed dose. Repeat Step 15 until you see that few or no air bubbles remain or if you draw up the wrong dose in the oral dosing syringe. Note: Only use up to 12 mL of OJEMDA oral suspension from each prepared bottle.
|
 |
|
Step 16: Leave the tip of the oral dosing syringe in the bottle adaptor and carefully turn the bottle upright. Put the bottle onto your flat work surface again. Slowly remove the oral dosing syringe tip from the bottle adaptor by gently pulling straight up. Do not hold the oral dosing syringe by the plunger because the plunger may come out. |
 |
| Step 17: Check again to be sure the top of the black stopper on the barrel of the oral dosing syringe is at your prescribed mL dose mark. If you do not have the correct prescribed mL dose, repeat Steps 15 to 17. If you are taking or giving a dose of OJEMDA for oral suspension by mouth, continue to Step 18. If you are taking or giving a dose of OJEMDA for oral suspension through a feeding tube, go to Section B. OJEMDA for oral suspension must be given within 15 minutes after prepared for use. |
|
|
Step 18. You or your child should sit upright to take or give a dose of OJEMDA oral suspension. Place the tip of the oral dosing syringe towards the inside of the cheek in your or your child’s mouth.
|
 |
| Step 19: See Section C for instructions on “How to throw away used bottles, expired or unused OJEMDA for oral suspension, and oral dosing syringes” | |
|
Section B: Taking or giving a dose of OJEMDA or oral suspension through a feeding tube |
|
|
Before giving a dose of OJEMDA for oral suspension through a feeding tube, read the following information and talk to your or your child’s healthcare provider before continuing to STEP 20:
|
|
|
Step 20. Flush the feeding tube according to the manufacturer’s instructions before giving a dose of OJEMDA for oral suspension. |
|
|
Step 21: Follow Steps 1 to 11 in Section A to prepare the OJEMDA oral suspension using the 20 mL oral dosing syringe. Follow Steps 12 to 17 in Section A to draw up your or your child’s dose of OJEMDA for oral suspension using the ENFIT syringe and ENFIT adaptor. |
|
|
Step 22: Connect the 20 mL ENFIT syringe containing OJEMDA for oral suspension to the feeding tube. |
|
