ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In 28-day rat and monkey toxicology studies, once daily oral administration of pralsetinib resulted in histologic necrosis and hemorrhage in the heart of preterm decedents at exposures >= 1.3 times and >= 3.1 times, respectively, the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg. Pralsetinib induced hyperphosphatemia (rats) and multi-organ mineralization (rats and monkeys) in 13-week toxicology studies at exposures approximately 2.8 times and >= 0.13 times, respectively, the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg.

BOXED WARNING SECTION.

WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS, INCLUDING OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS. GAVRETO may increase the risk for serious infections, including bacterial, fungal, viral and opportunistic infections, which can lead to hospitalization or death. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].. WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS, INCLUDING OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONSSee full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.GAVRETO may increase the risk for serious infections, including bacterial, fungal, viral and opportunistic infections, which can lead to hospitalization or death. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity. (2.3, 5.1).

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenicity studies with pralsetinib have not been conducted. Pralsetinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay with or without metabolic activation and was not clastogenic in either an in vitro micronucleus assay in TK6 cells or an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus assay in rats.In dedicated fertility and early embryonic development study conducted in treated male rats mated to treated female rats, although pralsetinib did not have clear effects on male or female mating performance or ability to become pregnant, at the 20 mg/kg dose level (approximately 2.9 times the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg based on toxicokinetic data from the 13-week rat toxicology study) 82% of female rats had totally resorbed litters, with 92% post-implantation loss (early resorptions); post-implantation loss occurred at doses as low as mg/kg (approximately 0.35 times the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg based on toxicokinetic data from the 13-week rat toxicology study). In separate fertility and early embryonic development study in which male rats administered 20 mg/kg pralsetinib were mated to untreated female rats, there were no clear pralsetinib-related effects on intrauterine survival of embryos or on male reproductive performance at dose approximately 1.7 times the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg. In 13-week repeat-dose toxicology study, male rats exhibited histopathological evidence of tubular degeneration/atrophy in the testis with secondary cellular debris and reduced sperm in the lumen of the epididymis, which correlated with lower mean testis and epididymis weights and gross observations of soft and small testis. Female rats exhibited degeneration of the corpus luteum in the ovary. For both sexes, these effects were observed at pralsetinib doses >= 10 mg/kg/day, approximately times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Pralsetinib is kinase inhibitor of wild-type RET and oncogenic RET fusions (CCDC6-RET) and mutations (RET V804L, RET V804M and RET M918T) with half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) less than 0.5 nM. In purified enzyme assays, pralsetinib inhibited DDR1, TRKC, FLT3, JAK1-2, TRKA, VEGFR2, PDGFRB, and FGFR1 at higher concentrations that were still clinically achievable at Cmax. In cellular assays, pralsetinib inhibited RET at approximately 14-, 40-, and 12-fold lower concentrations than VEGFR2, FGFR2, and JAK2, respectively.Certain RET fusion proteins and activating point mutations can drive tumorigenic potential through hyperactivation of downstream signaling pathways leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Pralsetinib exhibited anti-tumor activity in cultured cells and animal tumor implantation models harboring oncogenic RET fusions or mutations including KIF5B-RET, CCDC6-RET, RET M918T, RET C634W, RET V804E, RET V804L and RET V804M. In addition, pralsetinib prolonged survival in mice implanted intracranially with tumor models expressing KIF5B-RET or CCDC6-RET.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Pralsetinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics response have not been fully characterized.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyThe QT interval prolongation potential of pralsetinib was assessed in 34 patients with RET-altered solid tumors administered GAVRETO at the recommended dosage. No large mean increase in QTc (> 20 ms) was detected in the study.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. At 400 mg GAVRETO once daily under fasting conditions, the steady state mean [% coefficient of variation (CV%)] of maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-24h) of pralsetinib was 2,470 (55%) ng/mL and 36,700 (66%) hong/mL, respectively. Pralsetinib Cmax and AUC increased inconsistently over the dose range of 60 mg to 600 mg once daily (0.15 to 1.5 times the recommended dose). Pralsetinib plasma concentrations reached steady state by to days. The mean accumulation ratio was approximately 2-fold after once-daily oral administration.. AbsorptionThe median time to peak concentration (Tmax) ranged from to hours following single doses of pralsetinib 60 mg to 600 mg.. Food EffectFollowing administration of single dose of 200 mg with high-fat meal, (approximately 800 to 1000 calories with 50 to 60% of calories from fat), the mean Cmax of pralsetinib was increased by 2.0-fold, the mean AUC0-INF was increased by 2.2-fold, and the median Tmax was delayed from to 8.5 hours, compared to the fasted state.. DistributionThe mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) of pralsetinib is 303 (68%). Protein binding of pralsetinib is 97% and is independent of concentration. The blood-to-plasma ratio is 0.6 to 0.7.. EliminationThe mean (+-standard deviation) plasma elimination half-life (T 1/2 of pralsetinib is 16 hours (10) following single doses and 20 hours (12) following multiple doses of pralsetinib. The mean (CV%) apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of pralsetinib is 11 L/h (66%) at steady state.. MetabolismPralsetinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and to lesser extent by CYP2D6 and CYP1A2, in vitro. Following single oral dose of 310 mg of radiolabeled pralsetinib, pralsetinib metabolites from oxidation and glucuronidation were detected as 5% or less.. ExcretionApproximately 73% (66% as unchanged) of the total administered radioactive dose [14C] pralsetinib was recovered in feces and 6% (4.8% as unchanged) was recovered in urine.. Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the PK of pralsetinib were observed based on age (19 to 87 years), sex, race (White, Black, or Asian), and body weight (32 to 128 kg). Mild and moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 89 mL/min) had no effect on the exposure of pralsetinib. Pralsetinib has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 mL/min).. Drug Interaction Studies. Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approach. CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of CYP3A inhibitors increases pralsetinib Cmax and AUC.Table 9: Observed or Predicted Increase in Pralsetinib Exposure after Coadministration of CYP3A InhibitorsType of inhibitorCoadministered CYP3A InhibitorIncrease in pralsetinib max Increase in pralsetinib AUCObservedP-gp and Strong CYP3A InhibitorItraconazole (200 mg twice daily on Day 1, followed by 200 mg once daily)1.8-fold3.5-foldPredictedStrong CYP3A InhibitorsVoriconazole (400 mg twice daily on Day 1, followed by 200 mg twice daily)1.2-fold2.2-foldCombined P-gp and Moderate CYP3A InhibitorsVerapamil (80 mg three times daily)1.6-fold2.1-foldModerate CYP3A InhibitorsFluconazole (400 mg once daily)1.2-fold1.7-fold. P-gp Inhibitors: Coadministration of cyclosporine (single 600 mg dose) with single 200 mg dose of pralsetinib in healthy subjects increased pralsetinib AUC0-inf by 1.8-fold and Cmax by 1.5-fold, relative to 200 mg dose of pralsetinib administered alone.. Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of rifampin 600 mg once daily with single GAVRETO 400 mg dose decreased pralsetinib AUC0-INF by 68% and Cmax by 30%.. Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of efavirenz (600 mg once daily) is predicted to decrease the pralsetinib AUC by 45% and Cmax by 18%.. Mild CYP3A Inducers: No clinically significant differences in the PK of pralsetinib were identified when GAVRETO was coadministered with mild CYP3A inducers.. Acid-Reducing Agents: No clinically significant differences in the PK of pralsetinib were observed when GAVRETO was coadministered with gastric acid reducing agents.. In Vitro Studies. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Pralsetinib is time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A and an inhibitor of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP3A, but not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19 or CYP2D6 at clinically relevant concentrations. Pralsetinib is an inducer of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP3A, but not an inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP2C19 at clinically relevant concentrations.. Transporter Systems: Pralsetinib is substrate of P-gp and BCRP, but not substrate of BSEP, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, MATE2-K, OAT1, or OAT3. Pralsetinib is an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, MATE1, MATE2-K, and BSEP, but not an inhibitor of OCT1, OCT2, and OAT1A3 at clinically relevant concentrations.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1 Metastatic RET Fusion-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. The efficacy of GAVRETO was evaluated in patients with RET fusion-positive metastatic NSCLC in multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (ARROW, NCT03037385). The study enrolled, in separate cohorts, patients with metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC who had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy and treatment-naive patients with metastatic NSCLC. Identification of RET gene fusion was determined by local laboratories using next generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and other tests. Among the 237 patients in the efficacy population(s) described in this section, samples from 40% of patients were retrospectively tested with the LIFE Technologies Corporation Oncomine Dx Target Test (ODxTT). Patients with asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases, including patients with stable or decreasing steroid use within weeks prior to study entry, were enrolled. Patients received GAVRETO 400 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR), as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) according to RECIST v1.1.. Metastatic RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC Previously Treated with Platinum Chemotherapy Efficacy was evaluated in 130 patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC with measurable disease who were previously treated with platinum chemotherapy enrolled into cohort of ARROW.

Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with GAVRETO and for week after the last dose.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.

12.1 Mechanism of Action. Pralsetinib is kinase inhibitor of wild-type RET and oncogenic RET fusions (CCDC6-RET) and mutations (RET V804L, RET V804M and RET M918T) with half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) less than 0.5 nM. In purified enzyme assays, pralsetinib inhibited DDR1, TRKC, FLT3, JAK1-2, TRKA, VEGFR2, PDGFRB, and FGFR1 at higher concentrations that were still clinically achievable at Cmax. In cellular assays, pralsetinib inhibited RET at approximately 14-, 40-, and 12-fold lower concentrations than VEGFR2, FGFR2, and JAK2, respectively.Certain RET fusion proteins and activating point mutations can drive tumorigenic potential through hyperactivation of downstream signaling pathways leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Pralsetinib exhibited anti-tumor activity in cultured cells and animal tumor implantation models harboring oncogenic RET fusions or mutations including KIF5B-RET, CCDC6-RET, RET M918T, RET C634W, RET V804E, RET V804L and RET V804M. In addition, pralsetinib prolonged survival in mice implanted intracranially with tumor models expressing KIF5B-RET or CCDC6-RET.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenicity studies with pralsetinib have not been conducted. Pralsetinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay with or without metabolic activation and was not clastogenic in either an in vitro micronucleus assay in TK6 cells or an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus assay in rats.In dedicated fertility and early embryonic development study conducted in treated male rats mated to treated female rats, although pralsetinib did not have clear effects on male or female mating performance or ability to become pregnant, at the 20 mg/kg dose level (approximately 2.9 times the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg based on toxicokinetic data from the 13-week rat toxicology study) 82% of female rats had totally resorbed litters, with 92% post-implantation loss (early resorptions); post-implantation loss occurred at doses as low as mg/kg (approximately 0.35 times the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg based on toxicokinetic data from the 13-week rat toxicology study). In separate fertility and early embryonic development study in which male rats administered 20 mg/kg pralsetinib were mated to untreated female rats, there were no clear pralsetinib-related effects on intrauterine survival of embryos or on male reproductive performance at dose approximately 1.7 times the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg. In 13-week repeat-dose toxicology study, male rats exhibited histopathological evidence of tubular degeneration/atrophy in the testis with secondary cellular debris and reduced sperm in the lumen of the epididymis, which correlated with lower mean testis and epididymis weights and gross observations of soft and small testis. Female rats exhibited degeneration of the corpus luteum in the ovary. For both sexes, these effects were observed at pralsetinib doses >= 10 mg/kg/day, approximately times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg.. 13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In 28-day rat and monkey toxicology studies, once daily oral administration of pralsetinib resulted in histologic necrosis and hemorrhage in the heart of preterm decedents at exposures >= 1.3 times and >= 3.1 times, respectively, the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg. Pralsetinib induced hyperphosphatemia (rats) and multi-organ mineralization (rats and monkeys) in 13-week toxicology studies at exposures approximately 2.8 times and >= 0.13 times, respectively, the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg.

Use of GAVRETO in this age group is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study of GAVRETO in adults with additional population pharmacokinetic data demonstrating that age and body weight had no clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of pralsetinib, that the exposure of pralsetinib is expected to be similar between adults and pediatric patients age 12 years and older, and that the course of RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer is sufficiently similar in adults and pediatric patients to allow extrapolation of data in adults to pediatric patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Clinical Studies (14.2)]. The safety and effectiveness of GAVRETO have not been established in pediatric patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC or in pediatric patients younger than 12 years old with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer. Animal Toxicity DataIn 4-week repeat-dose toxicology study in non-human primates, physeal dysplasia in the femur occurred at doses resulting in exposures similar to the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg. In rats there were findings of increased physeal thickness in the femur and sternum as well as tooth (incisor) abnormalities (fractures, dentin matrix alteration, ameloblast/odontoblast degeneration, necrosis) in both 4- and 13-week studies at doses resulting in exposures similar to the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg. Recovery was not assessed in the 13-week toxicology study, but increased physeal thickness in the femur and incisor degeneration did not show evidence of complete recovery in the 28-day rat study.Monitor growth plates in adolescent patients with open growth plates. Consider interrupting or discontinuing therapy based on the severity of any growth plate abnormalities and based on an individual risk-benefit assessment.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Pralsetinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics response have not been fully characterized.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyThe QT interval prolongation potential of pralsetinib was assessed in 34 patients with RET-altered solid tumors administered GAVRETO at the recommended dosage. No large mean increase in QTc (> 20 ms) was detected in the study.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics. At 400 mg GAVRETO once daily under fasting conditions, the steady state mean [% coefficient of variation (CV%)] of maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-24h) of pralsetinib was 2,470 (55%) ng/mL and 36,700 (66%) hong/mL, respectively. Pralsetinib Cmax and AUC increased inconsistently over the dose range of 60 mg to 600 mg once daily (0.15 to 1.5 times the recommended dose). Pralsetinib plasma concentrations reached steady state by to days. The mean accumulation ratio was approximately 2-fold after once-daily oral administration.. AbsorptionThe median time to peak concentration (Tmax) ranged from to hours following single doses of pralsetinib 60 mg to 600 mg.. Food EffectFollowing administration of single dose of 200 mg with high-fat meal, (approximately 800 to 1000 calories with 50 to 60% of calories from fat), the mean Cmax of pralsetinib was increased by 2.0-fold, the mean AUC0-INF was increased by 2.2-fold, and the median Tmax was delayed from to 8.5 hours, compared to the fasted state.. DistributionThe mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) of pralsetinib is 303 (68%). Protein binding of pralsetinib is 97% and is independent of concentration. The blood-to-plasma ratio is 0.6 to 0.7.. EliminationThe mean (+-standard deviation) plasma elimination half-life (T 1/2 of pralsetinib is 16 hours (10) following single doses and 20 hours (12) following multiple doses of pralsetinib. The mean (CV%) apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of pralsetinib is 11 L/h (66%) at steady state.. MetabolismPralsetinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and to lesser extent by CYP2D6 and CYP1A2, in vitro. Following single oral dose of 310 mg of radiolabeled pralsetinib, pralsetinib metabolites from oxidation and glucuronidation were detected as 5% or less.. ExcretionApproximately 73% (66% as unchanged) of the total administered radioactive dose [14C] pralsetinib was recovered in feces and 6% (4.8% as unchanged) was recovered in urine.. Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the PK of pralsetinib were observed based on age (19 to 87 years), sex, race (White, Black, or Asian), and body weight (32 to 128 kg). Mild and moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 89 mL/min) had no effect on the exposure of pralsetinib. Pralsetinib has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 mL/min).. Drug Interaction Studies. Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approach. CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of CYP3A inhibitors increases pralsetinib Cmax and AUC.Table 9: Observed or Predicted Increase in Pralsetinib Exposure after Coadministration of CYP3A InhibitorsType of inhibitorCoadministered CYP3A InhibitorIncrease in pralsetinib max Increase in pralsetinib AUCObservedP-gp and Strong CYP3A InhibitorItraconazole (200 mg twice daily on Day 1, followed by 200 mg once daily)1.8-fold3.5-foldPredictedStrong CYP3A InhibitorsVoriconazole (400 mg twice daily on Day 1, followed by 200 mg twice daily)1.2-fold2.2-foldCombined P-gp and Moderate CYP3A InhibitorsVerapamil (80 mg three times daily)1.6-fold2.1-foldModerate CYP3A InhibitorsFluconazole (400 mg once daily)1.2-fold1.7-fold. P-gp Inhibitors: Coadministration of cyclosporine (single 600 mg dose) with single 200 mg dose of pralsetinib in healthy subjects increased pralsetinib AUC0-inf by 1.8-fold and Cmax by 1.5-fold, relative to 200 mg dose of pralsetinib administered alone.. Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of rifampin 600 mg once daily with single GAVRETO 400 mg dose decreased pralsetinib AUC0-INF by 68% and Cmax by 30%.. Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of efavirenz (600 mg once daily) is predicted to decrease the pralsetinib AUC by 45% and Cmax by 18%.. Mild CYP3A Inducers: No clinically significant differences in the PK of pralsetinib were identified when GAVRETO was coadministered with mild CYP3A inducers.. Acid-Reducing Agents: No clinically significant differences in the PK of pralsetinib were observed when GAVRETO was coadministered with gastric acid reducing agents.. In Vitro Studies. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Pralsetinib is time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A and an inhibitor of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP3A, but not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19 or CYP2D6 at clinically relevant concentrations. Pralsetinib is an inducer of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP3A, but not an inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP2C19 at clinically relevant concentrations.. Transporter Systems: Pralsetinib is substrate of P-gp and BCRP, but not substrate of BSEP, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, MATE2-K, OAT1, or OAT3. Pralsetinib is an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, MATE1, MATE2-K, and BSEP, but not an inhibitor of OCT1, OCT2, and OAT1A3 at clinically relevant concentrations.

PREGNANCY SECTION.

8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, GAVRETO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available data on GAVRETO use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risk. 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 (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.. Data. Animal DataIn an embryo-fetal development study, once daily oral administration of pralsetinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in 100% post-implantation loss at dose levels >= 20 mg/kg (approximately 1.8 times the human exposure based on area under the curve [AUC] at the clinical dose of 400 mg). Post-implantation loss also occurred at the 10 mg/kg dose level (approximately 0.6 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg). Once daily oral administration of pralsetinib at dose levels >= mg/kg (approximately 0.2 times the human AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg) resulted in an increase in visceral malformations and variations (absent or small kidney and ureter, absent uterine horn, malpositioned kidney or testis, retroesophageal aortic arch) and skeletal malformations and variations (vertebral and rib anomalies and reduced ossification).

Consider interrupting or discontinuing GAVRETO if abnormalities occur. (8.4). 8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, GAVRETO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available data on GAVRETO use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risk. 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 (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.. Data. Animal DataIn an embryo-fetal development study, once daily oral administration of pralsetinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in 100% post-implantation loss at dose levels >= 20 mg/kg (approximately 1.8 times the human exposure based on area under the curve [AUC] at the clinical dose of 400 mg). Post-implantation loss also occurred at the 10 mg/kg dose level (approximately 0.6 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg). Once daily oral administration of pralsetinib at dose levels >= mg/kg (approximately 0.2 times the human AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg) resulted in an increase in visceral malformations and variations (absent or small kidney and ureter, absent uterine horn, malpositioned kidney or testis, retroesophageal aortic arch) and skeletal malformations and variations (vertebral and rib anomalies and reduced ossification).. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of pralsetinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on either the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with GAVRETO and for week after the last dose.. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential. Based on animal data, GAVRETO can cause embryolethality and malformations at doses resulting in exposures below the human exposure at the clinical dose of 400 mg daily [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Pregnancy TestingVerify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating GAVRETO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. ContraceptionGAVRETO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. FemalesAdvise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for weeks after the last dose. GAVRETO may render hormonal contraceptives ineffective.. MalesAdvise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for week after the last dose.. InfertilityBased on histopathological findings in the reproductive tissues of male and female rats and dedicated fertility study in which animals of both sexes were treated and mated to each other, GAVRETO may impair fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of GAVRETO have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older for RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer. Use of GAVRETO in this age group is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study of GAVRETO in adults with additional population pharmacokinetic data demonstrating that age and body weight had no clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of pralsetinib, that the exposure of pralsetinib is expected to be similar between adults and pediatric patients age 12 years and older, and that the course of RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer is sufficiently similar in adults and pediatric patients to allow extrapolation of data in adults to pediatric patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Clinical Studies (14.2)]. The safety and effectiveness of GAVRETO have not been established in pediatric patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC or in pediatric patients younger than 12 years old with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer. Animal Toxicity DataIn 4-week repeat-dose toxicology study in non-human primates, physeal dysplasia in the femur occurred at doses resulting in exposures similar to the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg. In rats there were findings of increased physeal thickness in the femur and sternum as well as tooth (incisor) abnormalities (fractures, dentin matrix alteration, ameloblast/odontoblast degeneration, necrosis) in both 4- and 13-week studies at doses resulting in exposures similar to the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg. Recovery was not assessed in the 13-week toxicology study, but increased physeal thickness in the femur and incisor degeneration did not show evidence of complete recovery in the 28-day rat study.Monitor growth plates in adolescent patients with open growth plates. Consider interrupting or discontinuing therapy based on the severity of any growth plate abnormalities and based on an individual risk-benefit assessment.. 8.5 Geriatric Use. Of the 540 patients in ARROW who received the recommended dose of GAVRETO at 400 mg once daily, 31% were 65 years or and over, while 7% were 75 years and over.No overall differences in pharmacokinetics (PK), safety or effectiveness were observed between patients aged 65 years or older and younger patients.. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment. No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild (total bilirubin <= ULN and AST ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 ULN and any AST), moderate (total bilirubin 1.5 to x ULN and any AST) or severe (total bilirubin 3 ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment.

Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to fetus and to use effective non-hormonal contraception. (5.8, 8.1, 8.3). 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 or reactions until resolution and then resume at reduced dose. Permanently discontinue for recurrent ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue for Grade or 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 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 weeks during the first 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 days prior to elective surgery. Do not administer for at least 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 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 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], 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 [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].. 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 [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].. 5.3 Hypertension. Hypertension occurred in 35% of patients, including Grade hypertension in 18% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. 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 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 [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].. 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 or in 7% and increased ALT occurred in 37% of patients, including Grade or in 4.8% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. The median time to first onset for increased AST was 15 days (range: days to 2.5 years) and for increased ALT was 24 days (range: days to 3.7 years).Monitor AST and ALT prior to initiating GAVRETO, every weeks during the first months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].. 5.5 Hemorrhagic Events. Serious, including fatal, hemorrhagic events can occur with GAVRETO. Grade >= hemorrhagic events occurred in 4.1% of patients treated with GAVRETO including one patient with fatal hemorrhagic event.Permanently discontinue GAVRETO in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].. 5.6 Tumor Lysis Syndrome. Cases of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) have been reported in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma receiving GAVRETO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Patients may be at risk of TLS if they have rapidly growing tumors, 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 days prior to elective surgery. Do not administer for at least 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 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 fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for weeks after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
