Mechanism of action

Sourced from openFDA

Repotrectinib is an inhibitor of proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS1 (ROS1) and of the tropomyosin receptor tyrosine kinases (TRKs) TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC. Fusion proteins that include ROS1 or TRK domains can drive tumorigenic potential through hyperactivation of downstream signaling pathways leading to unconstrained cell proliferation.

Indications

Sourced from openFDA

Dosage & administration

Sourced from openFDA

• Select patients for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC based on the presence of ROS1 rearrangement(s) in tumor specimens. ( 2.1 ) • Select patients for treatment of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors based on the presence of an NTRK gene fusion. ( 2.1 ) • Recommended Dosage : 160 mg orally once daily for 14 days, then increase to 160 mg twice daily, with or without food. ( 2.4 ) 2.1 Patient Selection NSCLC Select patients for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with AUGTYRO based on the presence of ROS1 rearrangement(s) in tumor specimens [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . An FDA-approved test to detect ROS1 rearrangements for selecting patients for treatment with AUGTYRO is not currently available. Solid Tumors Select patients for the treatment of solid tumors with AUGTYRO based on the presence of NTRK1/2/3 rearrangements in tumor specimens [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . An FDA-approved test to detect NTRK1/2/3 rearrangements for selecting patients for treatment with AUGTYRO is not currently available. • In patients with secretory breast cancer or mammary analogue secretory cancer, consider treatment without confirmation of NTRK rearrangements in tumor specimens. 2.2 Important Information Prior to Initiating AUGTYRO Prior to initiating AUGTYRO, discontinue strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors for 3 to 5 elimination half-lives of the CYP3A inhibitor [see Drug Interactions (7.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

Warnings & precautions

Sourced from openFDA

• Central Nervous System (CNS) Effects: Can cause CNS adverse reactions including dizziness, ataxia, and cognitive impairment. Withhold and then resume at same or reduced dose upon improvement, or permanently discontinue AUGTYRO based on severity. ( 5.1 ) • Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Monitor patients for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Immediately withhold in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed. ( 5.2 ) • Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function tests every 2 weeks during the first month of treatment, and as clinically indicated thereafter. Based on severity, withhold and then resume at same or reduced dose, or permanently discontinue. ( 5.3 ) • Myalgia with Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) Elevation: Monitor serum CPK levels during treatment in patients reporting unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. Based on severity, withhold and resume at same or reduced dose upon improvement. ( 5.4 ) • Hyperuricemia: Monitor serum uric acid levels prior to initiating and periodically during treatment. Initiate treatment with urate-lowering medications as clinically indicated. Withhold and resume at same or reduced dose, or permanently discontinue based on severity. ( 5.5 ) • Skeletal Fractures: Promptly evaluate patients with signs or symptoms (e.g., pain, changes in mobility, deformity) of fractures. ( 5.6 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm.

Adverse reactions

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Central Nervous System Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Myalgia with Creatine Phosphokinase Elevation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Hyperuricemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] • Skeletal Fractures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were dizziness, dysgeusia, peripheral neuropathy, constipation, dyspnea, fatigue, ataxia, cognitive impairment, muscular weakness, and nausea.

The pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below reflects exposure to AUGTYRO in 426 patients with ROS1 -positive NSCLC (n=320), NTRK1/2/3 -positive solid tumors (n=104), or other solid tumors (n=2) in TRIDENT-1.

Use in specific populations

Sourced from openFDA

• Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 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 (12.1) ], AUGTYRO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on AUGTYRO use in pregnant women. Oral administration of repotrectinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in fetal malformations at doses approximately 0.3 times the recommended dose of 160 mg twice daily based on BSA (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.

Pharmacokinetics

Metabolism
The geometric mean (CV%) of repotrectinib steady state peak concentration (C max,ss ) is 713 (32.5%) ng/mL and the area under the time concentration curve (AUC 0-24h,ss ) is 7210 (40.1%) ng•h/mL following the approved recommended twice daily dosage in patients with cancer. Repotrectinib C max and AUC 0-inf increases approximately dose proportional (but less than linear with estimated slopes of 0.78 and 0.70, respectively) over the single dose range of 40 mg to 240 mg (0.25 to 1.5 times the approved recommended dosage).
