Other Clinical Trials Experience

AcceleRET-Lung trial (NCT04222972)

In

AcceleRET-Lung trial (NCT04222972), single agent GAVRETO (n=108) was compared to chemotherapy/immunotherapy (n=104) in patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC. Adverse reactions were infections (72% vs.52%), including pneumonia (29% vs. 6%), urinary tract infection (22% vs. 8%), and opportunistic infections (20% vs. 6%). Opportunistic infections included pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, fungal infections, legionella pneumonia, cytomegalovirus infection, and herpes simplex.

AND PRECAUTIONS Serious Infections, Including Opportunistic Infections: Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection and treat appropriately. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.1 )

Interstitial Lung

Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Withhold GAVRETO for Grade 1 or 2 reactions until resolution and then resume at a reduced dose. Permanently discontinue for recurrent ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue for Grade 3 or 4 reactions. ( 2.3 , 5.2 ) Hypertension : Do not initiate GAVRETO in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Optimize blood pressure (BP) prior to initiating GAVRETO. Monitor BP after 1 week, at least monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.3 ) Hepatotoxicity : Monitor ALT and AST prior to initiating GAVRETO, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.4 )

Hemorrhagic

Events : Permanently discontinue GAVRETO in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage. ( 2.3 , 5.5 )

Tumor Lysis

Syndrome: Closely monitor patients at risk and treat as clinically indicated. ( 2.3 , 5.6 ) Risk of Impaired Wound Healing: Withhold GAVRETO for at least 5 days prior to elective surgery. Do not administer for at least 2 weeks following major surgery and until adequate wound healing. The safety of resumption of GAVRETO after resolution of wound healing complications has not been established. ( 5.7 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective non-hormonal contraception. ( 5.8 , 8.1 , 8.3 )

5.1 Serious Infections, Including Opportunistic Infections GAVRETO may increase the risk for serious infections, including fatal and opportunistic infections. In the AcceleRET-Lung trial <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]</span> , infections occurred in 72% of patients who received GAVRETO, including 18% with Grade 3, 3.7% with Grade 4, and 7% with fatal outcomes. Among the patients who received chemotherapy/immunotherapy, infections occurred in 52%, including 10% with Grade 3. Infections in the GAVRETO arm included pneumonia, urinary tract infection, opportunistic infections (such as pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, and fungal infections) and others. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and treat appropriately. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]</span> .

5.2 Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis Severe, life-threatening, and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD) / pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with GAVRETO. Pneumonitis occurred in 12% of patients who received GAVRETO, including 3.3% with Grade 3-4, and 0.2% with fatal reactions. Monitor for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Withhold GAVRETO and promptly investigate for ILD in any patient who presents with acute or worsening of respiratory symptoms which may be indicative of ILD (e.g., dyspnea, cough, and fever). Withhold, reduce dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity of confirmed ILD <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]</span> .

5.3 Hypertension Hypertension occurred in 35% of patients, including Grade 3 hypertension in 18% of patients <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]</span> . Overall, 8% had their dose interrupted and 4.8% had their dose reduced for hypertension. Treatment-emergent hypertension was most commonly managed with anti-hypertension medications. Do not initiate GAVRETO in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Optimize blood pressure prior to initiating GAVRETO. Monitor blood pressure after 1 week, at least monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Initiate or adjust anti-hypertensive therapy as appropriate. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on the severity <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]</span> .

5.4 Hepatotoxicity Serious hepatic adverse reactions occurred in 1.5% of patients treated with GAVRETO. Increased AST occurred in 49% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 in 7% and increased ALT occurred in 37% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 in 4.8% <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]</span>. The median time to first onset for increased AST was 15 days (range: 5 days to 2.5 years) and for increased ALT was 24 days (range: 7 days to 3.7 years). Monitor AST and ALT prior to initiating GAVRETO, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]</span> .

5.5 Hemorrhagic Events Serious, including fatal, hemorrhagic events can occur with GAVRETO. Grade ≥ 3 hemorrhagic events occurred in 4.1% of patients treated with GAVRETO including one patient with a fatal hemorrhagic event. Permanently discontinue GAVRETO in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]</span> .

5.6 Tumor Lysis Syndrome Cases of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) have been reported in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma receiving GAVRETO <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]</span> . Patients may be at risk of TLS if they have rapidly growing tumors, a high tumor burden, renal dysfunction, or dehydration. Closely monitor patients at risk, consider appropriate prophylaxis including hydration, and treat as clinically indicated.

5.7 Risk of Impaired Wound Healing Impaired wound healing can occur in patients who receive drugs that inhibit the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway. Therefore, GAVRETO has the potential to adversely affect wound healing. Withhold GAVRETO for at least 5 days prior to elective surgery. Do not administer for at least 2 weeks following major surgery and until adequate wound healing. The safety of resumption of GAVRETO after resolution of wound healing complications has not been established.

5.8 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, GAVRETO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Oral administration of pralsetinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations and embryolethality at maternal exposures below the human exposure at the clinical dose of 400 mg once daily. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for 2 weeks after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for 1 week after the last dose <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ]</span> .

INTERACTIONS Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors and/or P-gp inhibitors : Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, reduce the dose of GAVRETO. ( 2.4 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers : Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, increase the dose of GAVRETO. ( 2.5 , 7.1 , 12.3 )

7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on GAVRETO Strong or Moderate CYP3A and/or P-gp Inhibitors Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor and/or a P-gp inhibitor increases pralsetinib exposure [ Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to GAVRETO. Avoid coadministration of GAVRETO with a strong or moderate CYP3A and/or P-gp inhibitor. If coadministration with any of the above inhibitors cannot be avoided, reduce the GAVRETO dose <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]</span>. Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases pralsetinib exposure <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> , which may decrease efficacy of GAVRETO. Avoid concomitant use of GAVRETO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. If coadministration of GAVRETO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers cannot be avoided, increase the GAVRETO dose <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ]</span>.
