Ribociclib

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE KISQALI is a kinase inhibitor indicated: in combination with an aromatase inhibitor for the adjuvant treatment of adults with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative stage II and III early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. ( 1 ) for the treatment of adults with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with: an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine-based therapy; or fulvestrant as initial endocrine-based therapy or following disease progression on endocrine therapy. ( 1 ) 1.1 Early Breast Cancer KISQALI is indicated in combination with an aromatase inhibitor for the adjuvant treatment of adults with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative stage II and III early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. 1.2 Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer KISQALI is indicated for the treatment of adults with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with: an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine-based therapy; or fulvestrant as initial endocrine-based therapy or following disease progression on endocrine therapy.

12.1 Mechanism of Action Ribociclib is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6. These kinases are activated upon binding to D-cyclins and are downstream of signaling pathways which lead to cell cycle progression and cellular proliferation. The cyclin D-CDK4/6 complex regulates cell cycle progression through phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (pRb). In vitro , ribociclib decreased pRb phosphorylation, resulting in arrest in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and reduced proliferation in breast cancer-derived models. In vivo , treatment with single agent ribociclib in a rat xenograft model with human tumor cells led to decreased tumor volumes, which correlated with inhibition of pRb phosphorylation. In studies using patient-derived estrogen receptor positive breast cancer xenograft models, combination of ribociclib and antiestrogen (e.g., letrozole) therapies resulted in increased tumor growth inhibition compared to each drug alone. Additionally, the combination of ribociclib and fulvestrant resulted in tumor growth inhibition in an estrogen receptor positive breast cancer xenograft model.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION KISQALI tablets are taken orally with or without food in combination with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant. ( 2 ) Early Breast Cancer Recommended starting dose: 400 mg orally (two 200 mg tablets) taken once daily with or without food for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off treatment. ( 2.1 ) Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Recommended starting dose: 600 mg orally (three 200 mg tablets) taken once daily with or without food for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off treatment. ( 2.1 ) Dose interruption, reduction, and/or discontinuation may be required based on individual safety and tolerability. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage Important Administration Instructions KISQALI can be taken with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Pre/perimenopausal women, or men, treated with the combination KISQALI plus an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant, should be treated with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist according to current clinical practice standards. Patients should take their dose of KISQALI at approximately the same time each day, preferably in the morning. If the patient vomits after taking the dose, or misses a dose, no additional dose should be taken that day. The next prescribed dose should be taken at the usual time. KISQALI tablets should be swallowed whole (tablets should not be chewed, crushed or split prior to swallowing). No tablet should be ingested if it is broken, cracked, or otherwise not intact. Early Breast Cancer The recommended dosage of KISQALI is 400 mg (two 200 mg film-coated tablets) taken orally, once daily for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off in 28-day treatment cycles. KISQALI should be given in combination with an aromatase inhibitor. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for the recommended dosage of the aromatase inhibitor. In patients with early breast cancer, treatment with KISQALI should continue for 3 years or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer The recommended dosage of KISQALI is 600 mg (three 200 mg film-coated tablets) taken orally, once daily for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off in 28-day treatment cycles. KISQALI should be given in combination with endocrine therapy (fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor). Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for the recommended dose of endocrine therapy. 2.2 Dose Modifications Dose Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended dose modifications for adverse reactions are listed in Table 1.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Severe, life threatening, or fatal ILD/pneumonitis can occur with KISQALI treatment. Monitor for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Interrupt and evaluate patients with new or worsening respiratory symptoms suspected to be due to ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue KISQALI in patients with recurrent symptomatic or severe ILD/pneumonitis. ( 2.2 , 5.1 ) Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions (SCARs): SCARs including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug-reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) can occur with KISQALI treatment. Permanently discontinue KISQALI in patients with SCARs or other life-threatening cutaneous reactions. ( 2.2 , 5.2 ) QT Interval Prolongation: KISQALI has been shown to prolong the QT interval in a concentration-dependent manner. Monitor electrocardiograms (ECGs) and electrolytes prior to initiation of treatment with KISQALI. Repeat ECGs at approximately Day 14 of the first cycle, and as clinically indicated. Monitor electrolytes at the beginning of each cycle for 6 cycles, and as clinically indicated. Avoid using KISQALI with drugs known to prolong QT interval and/or strong CYP3A inhibitors. ( 2.2 , 5.3 , 7.1 , 7.4 ) Increased QT Prolongation with Concomitant Use of Tamoxifen: KISQALI is not indicated for concomitant use with tamoxifen. ( 5.4 ) Hepatotoxicity: Increases in serum transaminase and bilirubin levels have been observed. Perform liver function tests (LFTs) before initiating treatment with KISQALI. Monitor LFTs every 2 weeks for the first 2 cycles, at the beginning of each subsequent 4 cycles, and as clinically indicated. ( 2.2 , 5.5 ) Neutropenia: Perform complete blood count (CBC) before initiating therapy with KISQALI. Monitor CBC every 2 weeks for the first 2 cycles, at the beginning of each subsequent 4 cycles, and as clinically indicated. ( 2.2 , 5.6 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during therapy. ( 5.7 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD) and/or pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with KISQALI and other CDK 4/6 inhibitors. In patients with early breast cancer (NATALEE) who received 400 mg KISQALI plus a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI), 1.5% of patients had ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 1-2). In patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MONALEESA-2, MONALEESA-3, MONALEESA-7), 1.6% of patients had ILD/pneumonitis (any Grade, 0.4% had Grade 3-4, and 0.1% had a fatal outcome). Additional cases of ILD/pneumonitis have occurred in the postmarketing setting, some resulting in death [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)] . Monitor patients for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis which may include hypoxia, cough, and dyspnea. In patients who have new or worsening respiratory symptoms suspected to be due to ILD or pneumonitis, interrupt KISQALI immediately and evaluate the patient. Permanently discontinue KISQALI in patients with severe ILD/pneumonitis or any recurrent symptomatic ILD/pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] . 5.2 Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DiHS)/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) can occur in patients treated with KISQALI [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)] . If signs or symptoms of severe cutaneous reactions occur, interrupt KISQALI until the etiology of the reaction has been determined [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] . Early consultation with a dermatologist is recommended to ensure greater diagnostic accuracy and appropriate management. If SJS, TEN, or DiHS/DRESS is confirmed, permanently discontinue KISQALI. Do
