How it works
12.1 Mechanism of Action 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. Repotrectinib exhibited anti-tumor activity in cultured cells expressing ROS1 fusions and mutations including SDC4-ROS1, SDC4-ROS1 G2032R , CD74-ROS1, CD74-ROS1 G2032R , CD74-ROS1 D2033N , and CD74-ROS1 L2026M . Repotrectinib also inhibited cell proliferation in cultured cells expressing NTRK fusions and mutations including LMNA-TRKA, LMNA-TRKA G595R , EVT6-TRKB G639R , and ETV6-TRKC G623R .

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. Patients received AUGTYRO at a dose of 160 mg orally once daily for the first 14 days, then increased to 160 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 ), ( 14.2 )] . Eligible patients had an ECOG status of ≤1. Patients with a history of ILD, drug-related pneumonitis, significant, uncontrolled, active cardiovascular disease, or prolonged QTc interval were excluded from enrollment in this trial. Forty-eight percent of patients were exposed to AUGTYRO for at least 6 months, and 28% were exposed for greater than 1 year. The median age of patients who received AUGTYRO was 57 years (range: 18 to 93); 59% female; 43% White, 47% Asian, 2.8% Black, 0.5% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, 0.5% American Indian or Alaska Native, 6.1% race not reported or other, and 0.7% unknown. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 35% of patients who received AUGTYRO. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients included pneumonia (6.3%), dyspnea (3.1%), pleural effusion (2.8%), and hypoxia (2.6%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.5% of patients who received AUGTYRO, including pneumonia, pneumonia aspiration, cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac death, cardiac failure, hypoxia, dyspnea, respiratory failure, tremor, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Permanent discontinuation of AUGTYRO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 7% of patients. There were no specific adverse reactions that accounted for ≥1% of permanent discontinuations. Dosage interruptions of AUGTYRO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 50% of patients. Adverse reactions that required dosage interruption in ≥2% of patients were dizziness, dyspnea, muscular weakness, ataxia, pneumonia, peripheral neuropathy, anemia, and vomiting. Dose reductions of AUGTYRO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 38% of patients. Adverse reactions that required dosage reductions in ≥2% of patients included dizziness, ataxia, muscular weakness, peripheral neuropathy, and cognitive impairment. The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions that occurred in patients receiving AUGTYRO were dizziness, dysgeusia, peripheral neuropathy, constipation, dyspnea, fatigue, ataxia, cognitive impairment, muscular weakness and nausea.

PregnancyUnsafe
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. Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, once daily oral administration of repotrectinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 6 to 17 resulted in maternal effects of increased body weight and skin abrasions/ulcerations at doses ≥6 mg/kg, fetal malformations of malrotated hindlimbs and lower fetal body weights at doses ≥12 mg/kg [approximately 0.3 times the recommended dose of 160 mg twice daily based on BSA]. No embryolethality was observed.

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. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective non-hormonal method of contraception. ( 5.7 ) 5.1 Central Nervous System Adverse Reactions AUGTYRO can cause central nervous system adverse reactions. Among the 426 patients who received AUGTYRO in Study TRIDENT-1, a broad spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) adverse reactions including dizziness, ataxia, and cognitive disorders occurred in 77% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 events occurring in 4.5% of patients. Dizziness, including vertigo, occurred in 65% of patients; Grade 3 dizziness occurred in 2.8% of patients. The median time to onset was 7 days (1 day to 1.4 years). Dose interruption was required in 9% of patients, and 11% required dose reduction of AUGTYRO due to dizziness. Ataxia, including gait disturbance and balance disorder, occurred in 28% of patients; Grade 3 ataxia occurred in 0.5% of patients. The median time to onset was 15 days (1 day to 1.4 years). Dose interruption was required in 5% of patients, 8% required dose reduction, and one patient (0.2%) permanently discontinued AUGTYRO due to ataxia. Cognitive impairment, including memory impairment and disturbance in attention, occurred in 25% of patients. Cognitive impairment included memory impairment (15%), disturbance in attention (12%), and confusional state (2%); Grade 3 cognitive impairment occurred in 0.9% of patients. The median time to onset of cognitive disorders was 37 days (1 day to 1.4 years). Dose interruption was required in 2% of patients, 2.1% required dose reduction, and 0.5% patients permanently discontinued AUGTYRO due to cognitive adverse reactions. Mood disorders occurred in 6% of patients. Mood disorders occurring in > 1% of patients included anxiety (2.6%); Grade 4 mood disorders (mania) occurred in 0.2% of patients. Dose interruption was required in 0.2% of patients and 0.2% of patients required a dose reduction due to mood disorders. Sleep disorders including insomnia and hypersomnia occurred in 18% of patients. Sleep disorders observed in > 1% of patients were somnolence (9%), insomnia (6%) and hypersomnia (1.6%). Dose interruption was required in 0.7% of patients, and 0.2% of patients required a dose reduction due to sleep disorders. The incidences of CNS adverse reactions observed were similar in patients with and without CNS metastases. Advise patients and caregivers of the risk of CNS adverse reactions with AUGTYRO. Advise patients not to driv

Pediatric use
8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of AUGTYRO in pediatric patients with ROS1 -positive NSCLC have not been established. The safety and effectiveness of AUGTYRO have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age with solid tumors who have an NTRK gene fusion. The safety and effectiveness of AUGTYRO for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NTRK -positive solid tumors have been established in pediatric patients 12 years of age or older. Use of AUGTYRO in this age group is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study in adult patients with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. This includes data demonstrating that the exposure of repotrectinib in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older is expected to result in similar safety and efficacy to that of adults, and that the course of locally advanced or metastatic NTRK -positive solid tumors is sufficiently similar in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age or older to allow extrapolation of data in adult to pediatric patients 12 years of age or older [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.7) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Juvenile Animal Data Daily oral administration of repotrectinib to juvenile rats for 8 weeks starting on postnatal day 12 (approximately equal to a human pediatric age of a newborn) resulted in toxicities similar to those observed in adult rats, though juvenile animals showed decreased body weight gain at doses ≥1 mg/kg (approximately ≥0.04 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended clinical dose of 160 mg BID) and decreased femur lengths at 3 mg/kg (approximately 0.1 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended clinical dose of 160 mg BID). Decreased body weight gain and decreased femur lengths persisted following 4 weeks of recovery.

Interactions (label text — not an interaction checker)
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) • P-gp inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) • Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) • Certain CYP3A Substrates : Avoid concomitant use with CYP3A substrates, where minimal concentration changes can cause reduced efficacy. ( 7.2 ) • Hormonal contraceptives : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on AUGTYRO Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. Concomitant use of AUGTYRO with a strong or a moderate CYP3A inhibitor may increase repotrectinib exposure, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of AUGTYRO. Discontinue CYP3A inhibitors for 3 to 5 elimination half-lives of the CYP3A inhibitor prior to initiating AUGTYRO [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . P-gp Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use with P-gp inhibitors. Concomitant use of AUGTYRO with a P-gp inhibitor may increase repotrectinib exposure, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of AUGTYRO [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Concomitant use of AUGTYRO with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer may decrease repotrectinib plasma concentrations, which may decrease efficacy of AUGTYRO [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 7.2 Effects of AUGTYRO on Other Drugs Certain CYP3A4 Substrates Avoid concomitant use unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for CYP3A substrates, where minimal concentration changes can cause reduced efficacy. If concomitant use is unavoidable, increase the CYP3A4 substrate dosage in accordance with approved product labeling. Repotrectinib is a CYP3A4 inducer. Concomitant use of repotrectinib decreases the concentration of CYP3A4 substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which can reduce the efficacy of these substrates. Contraceptives Repotrectinib is a CYP3A4 inducer, which can decrease progestin or estrogen exposure to an extent that could reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. Avoid concomitant use of AUGTYRO with hormonal contraceptives [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] . Advise females of reproductive potential to use an effective nonhormonal contraceptive [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] .
