WARNINGS
Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.
PRECAUTIONS
Congestive Heart Failure
Among the 355 patients who received ROZLYTREK across
clinical trials, congestive heart failure (CHF) occurred in 3.4% of patients,
including Grade 3 (2.3%) [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. In clinical trials,
baseline cardiac function and routine cardiac monitoring other than
electrocardiograms (ECGs) were not conducted and eligibility criteria excluded
patients with symptomatic CHF, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and
coronary artery bypass graft within 3 months of study entry. Among the 12
patients with CHF, the median time to onset was 2 months (range: 11 days to 12
months). ROZLYTREK was interrupted in 6 of these patients (50%) and
discontinued in 2 of these patients (17%). CHF resolved in 6 patients (50%)
following interruption or discontinuation of ROZLYTREK and institution of
appropriate medical management. In addition, myocarditis in the absence of CHF
was documented in 0.3% of patients.
Assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) prior to
initiation of ROZLYTREK in patients with symptoms or known risk factors for
CHF. Monitor patients for clinical signs and symptoms of CHF, including
shortness of breath and edema. For patients with myocarditis, with or without a
decreased ejection fraction, MRI or cardiac biopsy may be required to make the
diagnosis. For patients with new onset or worsening CHF, withhold ROZLYTREK,
institute appropriate medical management, and reassess LVEF. Based on the
severity of CHF or worsening LVEF, resume ROZLYTREK at a reduced dose upon
recovery to baseline or permanently discontinue [see DOSAGE AND
ADMINISTRATION].
Central Nervous System Effects
A broad spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) adverse
reactions occurred in patients receiving ROZLYTREK, including cognitive
impairment, mood disorders, dizziness, and sleep disturbances.
Among the 355 patients who received ROZLYTREK across
clinical trials, 96 (27%) experienced cognitive impairment; symptoms occurred
within 3 months of starting ROZLYTREK in 74 (77%). Cognitive impairment
included cognitive disorders (8%), confusional state (7%), disturbance in
attention (4.8%), memory impairment (3.7%), amnesia (2.5%), aphasia (2.3%),
mental status changes (2%), hallucinations (1.1%), and delirium (0.8%). Grade 3
cognitive adverse reactions occurred in 4.5% of patients. Among the 96 patients
with cognitive impairment, 13% required a dose reduction, 18% required dose
interruption and 1% discontinued ROZLYTREK due to cognitive adverse reactions.
Among the 355 patients who received ROZLYTREK across
clinical trials, 36 (10%) experienced mood disorders. The median time to onset
of mood disorders was 1 month (range: 1 day to 9 months). Mood disorders
occurring in ≥ 1% of patients included anxiety (4.8%), depression (2.8%)
and agitation (2%). Grade 3 mood disorders occurred in 0.6% of patients. One
completed suicide was reported 11 days after treatment had ended. Among the 36
patients who experienced mood disorders, 6% required a dose reduction, 6%
required dose interruption and no patients discontinued ROZLYTREK due to mood
disorders.
Dizziness occurred in 136 (38%) of the 355 patients.
Among the 136 patients who experienced dizziness, Grade 3 dizziness occurred in
2.2% of patients. Ten percent of patients required a dose reduction, 7%
required dose interruption and 0.7% discontinued ROZLYTREK due to dizziness.
Among the 355 patients who received ROZLYTREK across
clinical trials, 51 (14%) experienced sleep disturbances. Sleep disturbances
included insomnia (7%), somnolence (7%), hypersomnia (1.1%), and sleep disorder
(0.3%). Grade 3 sleep disturbances occurred in 0.6% of patients. Among the 51
patients who experienced sleep disturbances, 6% required a dose reduction and
no patients discontinued ROZLYTREK due to sleep disturbances.
The incidence of CNS adverse reactions was similar in
patients with and without CNS metastases; however, the incidence of dizziness
(38% vs 31%), headache (21% vs 13%), paresthesia (20% vs 6%), balance disorder
(13% vs 4%), and confusional state (11% vs 2%) appeared to be increased in
patients with CNS metastases who had received prior CNS irradiation (N = 90)
compared to those who did not (N = 48).
Advise patients and caregivers of these risks with
ROZLYTREK. Advise patients not to drive or operate hazardous machinery if they
are experiencing CNS adverse reactions. Withhold and then resume at same or
reduced dose upon improvement, or permanently discontinue ROZLYTREK based on
severity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Skeletal Fractures
ROZLYTREK increases the risk of fractures. In an expanded
safety population that included 338 adult patients and 30 pediatric patients
who received ROZLYTREK across clinical trials, 5% of adult patients and 23% of
pediatric patients experienced fractures [see Use In Specific Population].
In adult patients, some fractures occurred in the setting of a fall or other
trauma to the affected area, while in pediatric patients all fractures occurred
in patients with minimal or no trauma. In general, there was inadequate
assessment for tumor involvement at the site of fracture; however, radiologic
abnormalities possibly indicative of tumor involvement were reported in some
patients. In both adult and pediatric patients, most fractures were hip or
other lower extremity fractures (e.g., femoral or tibial shaft). In a limited
number of patients, bilateral femoral neck fractures occurred. The median time
to fracture was 3.8 months (range 0.3 to 18.5 months) in adults and 4.0 months
(range: 1.8 months to 7.4 months) in pediatric patients. ROZLYTREK was
interrupted in 41% of adults and 43% of pediatric patients due to fractures. No
patients discontinued ROZLYTREK due to fractures.
Promptly evaluate patients with signs or symptoms (e.g.,
pain, changes in mobility, deformity) of fractures. There are no data on the
effects of ROZLYTREK on healing of known fractures and risk of future
fractures.
Hepatotoxicity
Among the 355 patients who received ROZLYTREK, increased
AST of any grade occurred in 42% of patients and increased ALT of any grade
occurred in 36%. Grade 3 â⬓ 4 increased AST or ALT occurred in 2.5% and 2.8% of
patients, respectively; the incidence may be underestimated as 4.5% of patients
had no post-treatment liver function tests [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. The
median time to onset of increased AST was 2 weeks (range: 1 day to 29.5
months). The median time to onset of increased ALT was 2 weeks (range: 1 day to
9.2 months). Increased AST or ALT leading to dose interruptions or reductions
occurred in 0.8% and 0.8% of patients, respectively. ROZLYTREK was discontinued
due to increased AST or ALT in 0.8% patients.
Monitor liver tests, including ALT and AST, every 2 weeks
during the first month of treatment, then monthly thereafter, and as clinically
indicated. Withhold or permanently discontinue ROZLYTREK based on the severity.
If withheld, resume ROZLYTREK at the same or reduced dose [see DOSAGE AND
ADMINISTRATION].
Hyperuricemia
Among 355 patients who received ROZLYTREK across clinical
trials, 32 patients (9%) experienced hyperuricemia reported as adverse
reactions with symptoms, as well as elevated uric acid levels. Grade 4
hyperuricemia occurred in 1.7% of patients, including one patient who died due
to tumor lysis syndrome.Among the 32 patients with hyperuricemic adverse
reactions, 34% required urate-lowering medication to reduce uric acid levels,
6% required dose reduction and 6% required dose interruption. Hyperuricemia
resolved in 73% of patients following initiation of urate-lowering medication
without interruption or dose reduction of ROZLYTREK. No patients discontinued
ROZLYTREK due to hyperuricemia.
Assess serum uric acid levels prior to initiating
ROZLYTREK and periodically during treatment. Monitor patients for signs and
symptoms of hyperuricemia. Initiate treatment with urate-lowering medications
as clinically indicated and withhold ROZLYTREK for signs and symptoms of
hyperuricemia. Resume ROZLYTREK at same or reduced dose upon improvement of
signs or symptoms based on severity [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
QT Interval Prolongation
Among the 355 patients who received ROZLYTREK across the
clinical trials, 3.1% of patients with at least one post-baseline ECG
assessment experienced QTcF interval prolongation of > 60 ms after starting
ROZLYTREK and 0.6% had a QTcF interval > 500 ms [see ADVERSE REACTIONS,
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Monitor patients who already have or who are at
significant risk of developing QTc interval prolongation, including patients
with known long QT syndromes, clinically significant bradyarrhythmias, severe
or uncontrolled heart failure and those taking other medicinal products
associated with QT prolongation. Assess QT interval and electrolytes at
baseline and periodically during treatment, adjusting frequency based upon risk
factors such as congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or
concomitant medications known to prolong the QTc interval. Based on the
severity of QTc interval prolongation, withhold ROZLYTREK and then resume at
same or reduced dose, or permanently discontinue [see DOSAGE AND
ADMINISTRATION].
Vision Disorders
Among the 355 patients who received ROZLYTREK across
clinical trials, vision changes occurred in 21% of patients, including Grade 1
(82%), Grade 2 (14%) and Grade 3 (0.8%) [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. Vision
disorders occurring in ≥ 1% included blurred vision (8.7%), photophobia
(5.1%), diplopia (3.1%), visual impairment (2%), photopsia (1.3%), cataract
(1.1%), and vitreous floaters (1.1%).
For patients with new visual changes or changes that
interfere with activities of daily living, withhold ROZLYTREK until improvement
or stabilization and conduct an ophthalmological evaluation as clinically
appropriate. Upon improvement or stabilization, resume ROZLYTREK at same or
reduced dose [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on literature reports in humans with congenital
mutations leading to changes in TRK signaling, findings from animal studies,
and its mechanism of action, ROZLYTREK can cause fetal harm when administered
to a pregnant woman. Administration of entrectinib to pregnant rats resulted in
malformations at exposures approximately 2.7 times the human exposure at the
600 mg dose based on area under the curve (AUC).
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.
Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception
during treatment with ROZLYTREK and for 5 weeks following the final dose.
Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective
contraception during treatment with ROZLYTREK and for 3 months after the final
dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient
labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION).

and to advise patients to contact their healthcare provider immediately for any
symptoms of QT interval prolongation [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Vision Disorders
- Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider if
they experience visual changes [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
- Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive
potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females 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
contraception during treatment with ROZLYTREK and for 5 weeks after the final
dose.
- Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive
potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months
after the final dose.
Lactation
- Advise females not to breastfeed during treatment with
ROZLYTREK and for 1 week after the final dose [see Use In Specific
Populations].
Drug Interactions
- Advise patients to inform their healthcare providers of
all concomitant medications, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter
drugs, vitamins, and herbal products. Advise patients to avoid grapefruit juice
while taking ROZLYTREK [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Administration
- Advise patients to swallow ROZLYTREK capsules whole.
- Instruct patients if they miss a dose to make up that
dose unless the next dose is due within 12 hours.
- Instruct patients if they vomit immediately after taking
a dose of ROZLYTREK to take a dose as soon as possible [DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies were not conducted with
entrectinib. Entrectinib was not mutagenic in vitro in the bacterial reverse
mutation (Ames) assay; however, an in vitro assay in cultured human peripheral
blood lymphocytes did demonstrate a potential for abnormal chromosome
segregation (aneugenicity). Entrectinib was not clastogenic or aneugenic in the
in vivo micronucleus assay in rats and did not induce DNA damage in a comet
assay in rats.
Dedicated fertility studies were not conducted with
entrectinib. With the exception of dose-dependent decreases in prostate weight
in male dogs, there were no effects on male and female reproductive organs
observed in general toxicology studies conducted in rats and dogs at doses
resulting in exposures of up to approximately 3.2 fold the human exposure (AUC)
at the 600 mg dose.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Based on literature reports in humans with congenital
mutations leading to changes in TRK signaling, findings from animal studies,
and its mechanism of action [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], ROZLYTREK can
cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available
data on ROZLYTREK use in pregnant women. Administration of entrectinib to
pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations at
maternal exposures approximately 2.7 times the human exposure at the 600 mg
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
Human Data
Published reports of individuals with congenital
mutations in TRK pathway proteins suggest that decreases in TRK-mediated
signaling are correlated with obesity, developmental delays, cognitive
impairment, insensitivity to pain, and anhidrosis.
Animal Data
Entrectinib administration to pregnant rats during the
period of organogenesis at a dose of 200 mg/kg [resulting in exposures up to
2.7 times the human exposure (AUC) at the 600 mg dose] resulted in maternal
toxicity and fetal malformations including body closure defects (omphalocele
and gastroschisis) and malformations of the vertebrae, ribs, and limbs
(micromelia and adactyly), but not embryolethality. Lower fetal weights and
reduced skeletal ossification occurred at doses ≥ 12.5 and 50 mg/kg
[approximately 0.2 and 0.9 times the human exposure (AUC) at the 600 mg dose],
respectively.
Lactation
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of entrectinib or its
metabolites in human milk or their effects on either the breastfed child or on
milk production. Because of the potential adverse reactions in breastfed
children from ROZLYTREK, advise a lactating woman to discontinue breastfeeding
during treatment with ROZLYTREK and for 7 days after the final dose.
Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential
Pregnancy Testing
Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive
potential prior to initiating ROZLYTREK [see Use In Specific Populations
].
Contraception
ROZLYTREK can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered
to a pregnant woman [see Use In Specific Populations].
Females
Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use
effective contraception during treatment with ROZLYTREK and for at least 5
weeks following the final dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Males
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive
potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ROZLYTREK and
for 3 months following the final dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology].
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of ROZLYTREK in pediatric
patients aged 12 years and older with solid tumors that have an NTRK gene
fusion have been established. The effectiveness of ROZLYTREK in adolescent
patients was established based on extrapolation of data from three open-label,
single-arm clinical trials in adult patients with solid tumors harboring an NTRK
gene fusion (ALKA, STARTRK-1, and STARTRK-2) and pharmacokinetic data in
adolescents enrolled in STARTRK-NG. ROZLYTREK doses based on body surface area
in pediatric patients 12 years and older resulted in similar systemic exposure
compared to that in adults who received a ROZLYTREK dose of 600 mg [see
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, ADVERSE REACTIONS, CLINICAL
PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies].
There is limited clinical experience with ROZLYTREK in
pediatric patients. The safety of ROZLYTREK in pediatric patients 12 years of
age and older was established based on extrapolation of data in adults and data
from 30 pediatric patients enrolled in STARTRK-NG. Of these 30 patients, 7%
were < 2 years (n = 2), 77% were 2 to < 12 years (n = 23), 17% were 12 to
< 18 years (n = 5); 57% had metastatic disease (n = 17) and 44% had locally
advanced disease (n = 13); and all patients had received prior treatment for
their cancer, including surgery, radiotherapy, or systemic therapy. The most
common cancers were neuroblastoma (47%), primary CNS tumors (30%), and sarcoma
(10%). The median duration of exposure for all pediatric patients was 4.2
months (range: 0.2 to 22.7 months).
Due to the small number of pediatric and adult patients,
the single arm design of clinical studies of ROZLYTREK, and confounding factors
such as differences in susceptibility to infections between pediatric and adult
patients, it is not possible to determine whether the observed differences in
the incidence of adverse reactions to ROZLYTREK are related to patient age or
other factors. In an expanded safety database that included 338 adult patients
and 30 pediatric patients who received ROZLYTREK across clinical trials, the
Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities that occurred more
frequently (≥ 5%) in pediatric patients (n = 30) compared with adults (n
= 338) were neutropenia (27% vs 2%), bone fractures (23% vs 5%), increased
weight (20% vs 7%), thrombocytopenia (10% vs 0.3%), lymphopenia (7% vs 1%),
increased gammaglutamyl transferase (7% vs 0%), and device-related infection
(7% vs 0.3%). Three pediatric patients discontinued ROZLYTREK due to an adverse
reaction (Grade 4 pulmonary edema, Grade 3 dyspnea, and Grade 4 pancreatitis).
The safety and effectiveness of ROZLYTREK in pediatric
patients less than 12 years of age with solid tumors who have an NTRK gene
fusion have not been established.
The safety and effectiveness of ROZLYTREK in pediatric
patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC have not been established.
Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data
In a 13-week juvenile rat toxicology study, animals were
dosed daily from post-natal day 7 to day 97 (approximately equivalent to
neonate to adulthood). Entrectinib resulted in:
- decreased body weight gain and delayed sexual maturation
at doses ≥ 4 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.06 times the human exposure (AUC)
at the 600 mg dose),
- deficits in neurobehavioral assessments including
functional observational battery and learning and memory (at doses ≥ 8
mg/kg/day, approximately 0.14 times the human exposure at the 600 mg dose), and
- decreased femur length at doses ≥ 16 mg/kg/day
(approximately 0.18 times the human exposure at the 600 mg dose).
Geriatric Use
Of the 355 patients who received ROZLYTREK across
clinical trials, 25% were 65 years or older, and 5% were 75 years of age or
older. Clinical studies of ROZLYTREK did not include sufficient numbers of
geriatric patients to determine whether they respond differently from younger
patients.
Renal Impairment
No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild
or moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to < 90 mL/min calculated by
Cockcroft-Gault equation). ROZLYTREK has not been studied in patients with
severe renal impairment (CLcr < 30 mL/min) [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Hepatic Impairment
No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild
(total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN) hepatic impairment. ROZLYTREK has not
been studied in patients with moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 times
ULN) and severe (total bilirubin > 3 times ULN) hepatic impairment [see CLINICAL
PHARMACOLOGY].
