Warnings & precautions
Sourced from openFDADiarrhea : At the first sign of diarrhea or increased bowel movement frequency, instruct patients to start an antidiarrheal treatment, and to increase their fluid and electrolyte intake. Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HYRNUO based on severity. ( 5.1 ) Hepatotoxicity : Monitor liver function tests including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin at baseline prior to administration of HYRNUO, every 2 weeks during the first month, and then monthly thereafter as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase elevations. Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HYRNUO based on severity. ( 5.2 ) Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis : Monitor patients for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Discontinue HYRNUO upon confirmation of ILD/pneumonitis. ( 5.3 ) Ocular Toxicity : Promptly refer patients presenting with new or worsening eye symptoms to an ophthalmologist. Interrupt, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue HYRNUO based on severity. ( 5.4 ) Pancreatic Enzyme Elevation : Monitor amylase and lipase regularly during treatment. Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HYRNUO based on severity. ( 5.5 ) Embryo-fetal toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.6 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Diarrhea HYRNUO can cause severe diarrhea that can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
Adverse reactions
Sourced from openFDAThe following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Ocular Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Pancreatic Enzyme Elevation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Most common adverse reactions (>20%) : diarrhea, rash, paronychia, stomatitis, and nausea. Most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%) : decreased potassium, increased lipase, decreased lymphocyte count, decreased sodium, increased amylase, increased ALT, and increased AST. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 1-888-842-2937 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trial Experience 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 pooled safety population in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to HYRNUO at 20 mg orally twice daily in 268 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring HER2 and/or other mutations from the SOHO-01 study [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Among 268 patients who received HYRNUO, 35% were exposed for greater than 6 months and 12% were exposed for greater than 1 year.
Use in specific populations
Sourced from openFDALactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] , HYRNUO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of HYRNUO in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of sevabertinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in alterations to growth at maternal exposures ≥0.18 times the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the clinical dose of 20 mg twice daily. Animal studies with disrupted or depleted HER2/EGFR and in vitro assays have demonstrated that inhibition of HER2 and/or EGFR results in structural abnormalities, alteration to growth, and embryo-fetal and infant mortality (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 embryo-fetal development studies, sevabertinib was administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 6 to 17 at doses ranging from 1.5 to 11 mg/kg/day.
